Unable to refute, the woman fell silent again. Suleiman's logic, in the land of Westeros, was cold, realistic, and irrefutable.
She looked at the figure of the young man in front of her. He was obviously so young, but he had already merged with the filth of Westeros.
After a long time, she lowered her head and said softly, "I understand."
A few days later, the construction of New Army Fort was officially put on the agenda.
In Council Chamber, a huge map of the territory is spread on the long table. This map was drawn by Evelyn, dangerous, High Mountains,
He really couldn't imagine how this woman could draw the water and fields.
In Suleiman's opinion, this map alone makes her value beyond reproach. If her trouble is not big, he might be able to solve it for her.
Suleiman's core courtiers gathered around the table, the two officers Lushen and Roslyn, the financial officer Bana the Beggar, the clerk Olivier and the maid Evelyn.
"Military Fort's location, I chose these places." Suleiman's finger pointed at some locations on the map.
Everyone leaned forward and saw that most of the places circled on the map were backed by the extremely steep Mountains of the Moon and the three rivers flowing down from the High Mountains. In front was a large open plain with flat terrain and fertile soil. The sign of Evelyn told everyone that the terrain was flat, that it was all forests, that all could be cultivated, and that the soil was fertile.
"This place is backed by Mountains of the Moon. There is nothing stronger than a natural barrier, and the front is surrounded by cultivated land and forests on all sides." Suleiman explained to everyone, "When war comes, we must seize food. Even if we can't hold it, we can retreat to the High Mountains."
"The other Military Fort can be supported through the secret channel from the High Mountains at any time."
Evelyn's blue eyes were full of confusion and looked at Suleiman strangely. She felt that his location selection was not to deal with bandits, but to deal with the incoming army. He did not place Military Fort around Kingsroad's main road to facilitate commercial development and collect toll taxes.
Instead, Military Fort was placed in a remote and dangerous area close to Mountains of the Moon, away from the coming and going crowds, as if it was prepared to fight the army, and if it failed, it was ready to retreat into the High Mountains.
Suleiman looked at the confused Evelyn and said, although it was a little strange to explain to his "maid":
"There is water, stone, trees, arable land, and natural dangers here. Nothing is more dangerous than the uncanny workmanship of nature."
"It is easy to obtain local materials and construct directly, eliminating transportation costs and time waste."
"To put it simply, we dig the mountain directly! Then we live in the mountain!"
This was something he learned from the dwarves, but these people definitely didn't know it, but he heard something that surprised him.
"It's like House Reyne's mine." Evelyn whispered.
"Yes." Suleiman looked at her, thought for a moment and it seemed that it was true, and then said slowly, "But it will be more perfect than them."
Suleiman thought about the memory and realized that House Reyne was simply the dwarf of Westeros, living underground in the mine. Unfortunately, they did not build a good water channel system and they were all drowned by Tywin Lannister.
"It's Mr. Suleiman!!!" Lushen excitedly slapped the table and began to praise Suleiman as he did every day, "We will build fortresses here one after another! The walls must use the best stones from the mountains!"
"We hollowed out High Mountains! We live in the body of the mountain! No one can break in!!!"
"Build the wall high and thick! Then dig a trench! Let the water from the High Mountains fill the trench! Let's see how those damn bandits come again!"
"That's it! That's it!!!" Roslyn also began to praise Suleiman every day, "He is indeed the master of Suleiman!!"
"Westeros is a true genius!!!"
Since the two of them started working together with cultural people, they have learned a lot of new knowledge.
The courtiers began to discuss heatedly how to hollow out the mountain, what it would be like to live in the mountain, how to create secret passages in the mountain, as well as the height of the external walls, moats, and number of towers.
Evelyn, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, and her blue eyes looked straight at Suleiman.
"Master Suleiman, please forgive me."
Everyone's eyes turned to her, wondering why this ugly woman interrupted Master Suleiman.
"What we want to build should not just be a military fortress." She walked to the table, picked up the quill, and took a piece of clean parchment next to it, and sketched it confidently and smoothly, as if she had already conceived countless ideas. "But it should be an underground mountain fortress that can self-circulate and prosper."
Everyone except Olivier, who was silent, looked at her with frowns. What did you, a maid, say?
But seeing Master Suleiman looking at the woman with great interest, it was not easy to interrupt.
Evelyn ignored everyone's strange looks. She seemed to have been suppressing it for a long time. Her quill moved quickly on the parchment, completely forgetting Suleiman's request to lower her presence. It seemed that she had planned it countless times, and the clear lines constituted an amazing sketch.
"Look here!" Evelyn picked up her drawing and tapped her finger on the paper excitedly. "The outermost part of the mountain! It's the barracks!"
As well as all kinds of traps! And defense facilities! As long as there are two Warrior in the passage! Even if there are thousands of troops!!! Thousands of troops can't get in!!!"
Suleiman looked at the emotional woman, and then looked at the sketch. All kinds of vicious, cruel and terrifying traps made him extremely ashamed. It gave him a feeling like watching the trio go through the traps in the tomb. This woman is really worth it!
It's decided! As long as her trouble is not a problem! I have to solve it for myself.
The woman's design shocked everyone present, and the traps alone terrified everyone present. A space was built above the passage, and the enemies entered the passage. From the space, they sprinkled grease down the passage through small holes, ignited the grease, and burned them all to death. Seven Ah, this ugly monster is too wolfish.
But the woman didn't notice it, or rather she didn't want it to end. She continued to talk excitedly:
"In the middle is the commercial area! The workshop area for craftsmen! Such as the Smith shop! The wood workshop! The pottery workshop! Even in the mountains, there must be markets and squares! It is convenient for goods trading and residents' gatherings!"
"The deepest part is the residential area for civilians! Only by letting the people live in the deepest part can Warrior fight the enemy with peace of mind! At the same time, their families! They are also a powerful force for Warrior fighting outside!!"
"The core area! It's the lord's mansion! The weapons depot! And the most important granary!"
"Then there's the secret passage to evacuate! And the plan to destroy the entire mountain and bury all the enemies during the evacuation.
.!"
The woman was still talking, and her plan was frighteningly clear, perfectly dividing and linking defense, residence, production, commerce and military functions to form an organic whole.
Suleiman was shocked, Westeros Could it be that there really are mountain people? I only had preliminary ideas about how to build the mountain body, which was completely fantasy. But this woman directly put the perfect answer sheet in her face, how to make the mountain body not collapse and be as stable as Mount Tai, even the placement of a small pillar was written like a textbook.
When Lushen and Bana and others met each other, all the court officials were shocked. They had never thought that living in a mountain had so many details and could be planned so complexly and exquisitely.
However, Evelyn hadn't stopped talking yet, and what she said next really shocked everyone present.
She put down her quill and her expression became serious:
"But that's not enough!"
"It's not just swords that can attack holes in Descend the mountains's body! There are also things we can't see!"
She looked at the confused faces of everyone and said word by word:
"It's a disease!"
"It's a water source!"
"Hundreds or even thousands of people gather together in the mountain to live together! Feces and garbage are all in the mountain!"
"If we don't take care of the water sources and excrement! Soon the feces and garbage will contaminate the water sources! Attracting flies and plagues!"
"A plague breaks out! It kills people faster than thousands of troops combined!"
