Ferdinand was neither a good knight nor a good lord, and when he inherited the title, his father left him at least one town and three estates, and by the time he was captured, he had only one estate left, and he was in debt, and he participated in the conquest of the Bastille, and was purely forced to make a fortune and change his embarrassing situation.

However, Ferdinand was not useless, he was an excellent architect, and he squandered his family fortune on it, and in order to study architecture, he even traveled thousands of miles to study at the Grand Academy of the Silver Federation Warlock Alliance.

Elven ruins, giant monuments, ancient Andis Empire remnants and mage towers, he has visited and studied, in order to study the half-elf architecture, he even risked death to go to the silent rainforest, trapped in the rainforest for as long as half a year, as for what he experienced back then, he kept silent, was asked in a hurry, he would jump like thunder, fire.

If this were the case, his life would not have been so unruly, after all, many lords and nobles of the Byron Union were interested in building castles, and there was a great demand for good architects, and the salary was usually good.

But the problem is that Ferdinand has seen too many things, and compared to those conservative lords and aristocrats, his architectural consciousness is too advanced, and either he can't accept his advanced style, or he can't accept the high construction cost of the things he designs.

But Ferdinand is the kind of person who is very stubborn, and he can not listen to me, unless you can convince me, otherwise, I will not serve!

After coming and going, his reputation naturally stinked, and no one looked for him anymore, and the most brilliant achievement of his life should be that twenty years ago, he helped Archduke Borg build the Colosseum of Solo.

Ferdinand, who was not welcomed in the Manyu Army, sparked a spark with the Legion of the Eternal Night.

No matter how advanced Ferdinand's thinking is, Sean, who can surpass the memory of two lifetimes, most of the people in the Eternal Night Legion have been nurtured by him, and they dare not say that they are used to seeing strong winds and waves, at least their ability to accept is not comparable to ordinary people.

The most important thing is that the Eternal Night Legion itself does not have an architect who can take a shot, but the energy that can be used is getting bigger and bigger, and at its peak, a project can mobilize 50,000 or 60,000 people - at that time, the Eternal Night Legion was working for relief, and naturally engaged in infrastructure projects.

The Legion of the Eternal Night has exactly what Ferdinand could only dream of, and it is only natural that the two sides will hit it off like dry wood meets fire.

At first, the Legion of the Eternal Night had preconceptions about his identity, but Ferdinand conquered them with his own skills, and he was indeed very knowledgeable in architecture and had his own unique skills.

The world will always be tolerant of those who have real skills.

"This is a drawing sent by the corps staff, and it is repeatedly emphasized that we must follow the drawings for construction. ”

Jeffrey, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the Attached Engineer Regiment, was patient and reassured, he had been working with Ferdinand for a while, and he had already figured out the temper of the other party, this person belonged to a donkey, and he had to follow the hair.

"The General Staff rarely directly intervenes in our construction, since this time it intervenes and personally sends the drawings, it must have a deep meaning, maybe there is any unique strategic significance, we just need to follow the drawings to build. ”

Everyone has their own opportunities, but compared to Chad, Jeffrey's luck was slightly worse, when attacking the Bastille, he was seriously injured, blind in one eye, and lame in the leg, and the main army had no way to enter, so he had to retreat to the second place and go to the attached engineer regiment.

His ability is there, as the first batch of junior soldiers, his knowledge is not bad, and he has been rolling around for a few years, and he has rich experience, not to mention that the excellent junior army has almost all gone to the side of the main army, and he was elected as the commander of the first regiment of the attached engineer regiment, which is not so competitive, so it is logical.

Since the attached engineer regiment does not have a general, it is controlled by the unified dispatch of the Eternal Night Legion, but some projects require multiple corps to work together, and when the general can't get out of the way, the commander of the corps in front of him will supervise it, which is the normal military order of the Eternal Night Legion.

So, Jeffrey was exercising the duties of lieutenant general many times.

"Is the Legion Staff a fart? They haven't surveyed the site and know the actual situation of the Bastille? Do they dare to send the drawings over without authorization? I don't care what military considerations he has, since I am the chief architect, I have the final decision, I don't agree with this plan!"

Ferdinand didn't know what he had done today, and the resistance was very strong, and the sheepskin drawings crackled.

Even the length, narrowness and width of the people have been marked out exactly at all, can it be drawn casually? It must have been carefully detected on the spot and considered in many aspects, not to mention that this is General Sean's personal participation in hammering the board, which will inevitably involve the future layout of the Eternal Night Legion.

This is not Jeffrey's hearsay or speculation, but a guess from the layout of their buildings over the past year.

In the past year, they have built walled cities and public buildings that have avoided the Jacob's ancient river channel, and most of them have been built on the top of the mountain, and the shortest ones are also halfway up the mountainside, and there is not a single place in the valley and the ancient river channel.

Nominally, it was to prevent the Manyu army from leading the army into the ancient river of Jacob, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and to save as much land as possible to reclaim more high-quality arable land.

It's just that Jeffrey knows Sean too well, and such a reason doesn't make sense at all in his place, and there must be a deeper consideration.

Jeffrey also had a little guess of his own, but this guess was too bold and absurd, and he himself was taken aback by this guess and did not dare to think deeply.

When he got the new construction drawings of the Bastille, the guess that Jeffrey had buried deep in his heart came up again, and the more he compared, the more he felt the correctness of the guess.

Because this construction drawing is extremely unreasonable in the current environment, but it is really reasonable to add your own assumptions.

But there is no way to say this to Ferdinand, not only because this is just a speculation that he has not confirmed, but if it is confirmed, then it can only be said that it can only rot in the stomach, because this will involve the highest core secret of the Eternal Night Legion.

"Sir Ferdinand, I'm really sorry, as the chief architect of the front line, you have such a resolution, the staff should communicate and negotiate with you beforehand, but this time the incident happened suddenly, the staff ignored this, this is the staff dereliction of duty, but also my dereliction of duty, I am here to make the most sincere apology to you, and explain to you the reason. ”

Just as Geoffrey was racking his brains to find a way to convince Ferdinand, someone came uninvited.

Seeing the appearance of the person who came, both Jeffrey and Ferdinand stood up and saluted at the same time, "Your Excellency, General!"

The person who came was none other than Shaun, the supreme commander of the Eternal Night Legion.

Sean is both the busiest and the most idle of the Legion of the Night.

Busy just because there are many things that he needs to check in the end.

The reason for being idle is that he made the division of labor very meticulous at the beginning, and did not leave any specific things for himself, which made it convenient for him to take time off to do other things.

Although he left for a winter, there was a mountain eagle message, but it did not squeeze any military affairs, and his work efficiency was handled in a few days.

The Bastille side is the biggest project of the Eternal Night Army in recent times, and I naturally came over to take a look when I had time, but I didn't expect to bump into Ferdinand's rage.

Only then did I remember that both he and the military staff ignored the opinion of this construction engineer on the front line, no wonder people would lose their temper, if it was replaced by him, he would be furious when he received such an unreasonable architectural drawing.

"Your Excellency General, you misunderstood, I'm not angry because of this, but there is a problem with this drawing, you look at the map, the original site of the Bastille is the narrowest place in the entire ancient river channel, with natural geographical advantages, as long as you build a kilometer of the city, three or five thousand garrisons, you can seal it, if you retreat ten kilometers inside, the area of the city wall will be tripled, not to mention, the number of troops that need to be garrisoned will also be multiplied, not to mention that the layout of this construction drawing is completely incredible, this is not a castle at all, but a port, a port floating in the air。 ”

Although Ferdinand's expression was softened a little because of Sean's words, he would not easily give up his insistence, especially when it came to architecture, if he was such an easy compromiser, he would not have been so confused before, and he pointed to the parchment map to explain to Sean.

The location of the Bastille has been carefully chosen.

The entire Jacob's ancient river channel is in the shape of a gourd with the Bastille as the line.

The Bastille is in the thinnest position of the gourd, and since then to the west, the mouth has grown bigger and bigger, and then there is the Manyu military leader of the Pingchuan River, which is typical of the impact of the plain terrain, but as the river of life Jacob has become a meandering river, it is constantly degrading to the Gobi Desert, and in a few hundred years, the Manyu military leader is afraid that it will become the largest desert in the Ashane continent.

From the Bastille to the east, although the mouth is not as wide as the west side, it is also open, after all, the Bastille is surrounded by two large mountain ranges.

Ten kilometers into the interior, directly making the north and south sides two kilometers wider, and the original wall of the Bastille was just over a kilometer long, even so, it took the elder Bolton nearly thirty years to build.

And the city that the Eternal Night Legion is starting from now will directly expand in size by seven or eight times.

At this scale, it can no longer be called a castle, but a fortress, even if the manpower invested by the Eternal Night Legion now cannot be completed without ten or eight years, and the manpower and material resources invested in the later period will be even more seafaring.

If this was all there was to it, Ferdinand wouldn't be so angry, after all, spending a lot of supplies was the business of Sean and the Legion of the Eternal Night, and he wished that the city would be built bigger, so that he could show his strength.

But the problem is that the drawings sent by the military staff are basically to build a-like wall in the middle, divide the ancient river channel of Jacob in two, and then build two castles on the mountainside at both ends of the embankment.

This almost unbelievable style of construction made even Ferdinand, who was more receptive, accept incompetence for a while.

"I know. Sean smiled and said, "Half a year ago, I took the military staff to step back and forth seven or eight times on the lower half of the Andes Mountains of Jacob's ancient river, and the drawings you used were still calibrated and made by us!"

"If you know, why make such a ridiculous decision?"

"A lot of things are not absurd, there are preconditions, let me make an assumption, assuming that the Jacob River is restored to the situation before it was cut off again, do you still think this construction drawing is absurd?"

"Impossible!" Ferdinand shook his head again and again without hesitation, "It has been nearly three hundred years since the Jacob River was cut off, how can it be possible to restore the previous situation?"

"Anything is possible!" Sean smiled a little incomprehensibly, "Andes Crater didn't change much in the landscape three hundred years ago, and the rainfall didn't change much, so if there is no such a big river, no one will ask where these flows go?"

"This ......" Ferdinand blinked, he really never thought about this question, because the Jacob River has been cut off since he was a child, and in his opinion, the Jacob River has been cut off is already a matter of course, who would ask why the Jacob River has stopped?

Ferdinand lost his temper, but he did not know how to pretend to understand, and asked, "Where did the water of the Jacob River go?"

"It was diverted south and flowed into the swamp of despair. Sean smiled and said, "The culprit is just a collapsing mountain range, if this blocked river channel breaks away again, what do you think will happen to us here?"

"That will have a big impact, not only will we have a huge impact here, but even the pattern of the Manyu military leader will be turned upside down, but you are just an assumption, it is impossible at all, and it is too absurd to use this as a construction standard!"

Ferdinand still had a strange look, thinking that what Sean said was a bit of a nonsense, but after the other party said so, the drawings in his hand were not as difficult to understand as before.

If you were to rebuild the Bastille in the same way as before, it would be inevitable that you would be washed away if you were to be in the middle of the river.

On the contrary, the design drawings in my hand are full of rationality, and at most the city walls in the middle section will be destroyed, and the two castles located in the middle of the mountain and the large section of the city wall will be turned into water fortresses, and a little repair can become a port.

Could it be that the Jacobs will really not be able to re-flow?

Ferdinand is not a fool, and naturally thinks of the layout of the walled city in the past year or so, where it was originally unreasonable, and bringing this assumption into it cannot be more reasonable.

Could it be that all the layouts of the Eternal Night Legion are based on this premise?

But how can they be sure that the Jacob River will return?

Could it be that the other side is not ready to chisel through the mountains that block the broken flow of the Jacob River?

Don't look at Sean to say it so lightly, but if you want to do this, it's basically impossible.

Although Ferdinand had never seen the amount of water in the heyday of the Jacob River, the amount of water was absolutely amazing from the ancient river channel recorded in kilometers.

How much manpower and material resources do you have to invest in order to do this?
