Nur had his soldiers ready, as they had been commanded. They came prepared, all dressed in light attire and carrying tools for digging and tamping the ground.
Li Xianyun looked to Nur and said, "I appreciate the hard work of the soldiers."
At that moment, the six individuals from the Department of Equipment sent by Sang Yanlin also gathered around, paying their respects to Li Xianyun.
Li Xianyun looked down and carefully reviewed the map he had drawn the day before before saying to Nur, "General, how many soldiers have been called in this time?"
"Including myself, a total of five hundred," Nur answered.
Yelu Yan had dispatched so many men all at once.
"Good," Li Xianyun said, "I'd like to ask the General to divide the troops into ten units, with twenty men each. Select a leader for each unit and have these ten leaders meet with me shortly. I'll instruct them on how to lay the foundations."
