Chapter 187: Barren Mountain Camp

Viserys looked at the ministers present and shook his head helplessly.

Based on certain preconceived notions, he was very resistant to the marriage contract with Princess Martell, but think about it carefully Arianne is still just a little girl, not the restless later, with the intention of supporting Messiah and stirring up the whole Dorn. Turbulent woman.

Moreover, this political marriage is very important to the Targaryen family.

Viselis has endured many blessings from Dorne for so many years, and he also needs such a strong ally to support. If the two sides can marry, then this alliance will become more unbreakable.

In the future, whether it is a north-south attack or landing from Dorn, it will play a vital role.

How to do?

Veserys has some headaches.

However, compared with the idealism at the beginning, Veselis, who has suffered countless realistic blows for so many years, has become much more practical.

Let's see the princess of Dorne first.

Thinking of this, Veserys shook his head slightly, resting his hands on the table, a pair of lavender eyes swept across the cheeks of everyone present, and then slapped his lips and said.

"This matter will be discussed after Princess Arianne arrives."

"Now let's continue talking... the business, we plan to build two new castles, one camp and one town in the next step."

The castles and camps planned by Veselis are all land reserved for free disposal in advance, and they will also be the assets of the Targaryen royal family when they are built in the future.

Then Viselis asked the guards to take the map and spread it out on the table. Everyone in the conference hall could see it clearly.

This is a map of the east coast of the Essos continent centered on Andalus, reaching Novos in the east and the Great Plains in the south.

Then Viserys pointed to the ancient road from the coast of Braavos to Box Rollas Bay.

On the edge of this ancient road to the east of the Upper Lorne River, it is the junction of the Hengduan Mountains and the Norfoss Mountains. From here, you can continue east to reach Rollas Bay, and you can even bypass the Norfoss Mountains to Tomahawk Point. , Can be regarded as an avenue suitable for marching.

"Build a permanent camp from here."

Veselis's finger was on the only mountain pass among the two mountains, and then he spoke earnestly.

"Oberlen's legion is stationed here."

The location of this mountain pass is very important, especially for Andalus, a city-state without walls.

This mountain pass is not far from the location of Andalus. The establishment of a permanent camp by the garrison army here can play an important role in consolidating border defenses and setting up checkpoints to check the goods.

In fact, Andaloth's legion is now stationed there. This is already a plan that the high-level has passed before.

"clear."

As the commander-in-chief of the Second Legion, Oberon had just worn the legion commander's medal, and then nodded slightly, but he was quick to ask one more question.

"Your Majesty, is building a permanent camp here to guard against Novos?"

This mountain pass happened to be blocked on the avenue leading to Norfoss, so Oberon asked again.

"Do not."

Viserys shook his head slightly, and said seriously.

"To beware of Braavos."

"Um?"

Oberon was stunned when he heard Viserys's words, and then lowered his head and stared at the map in front of him.

After a long while, the clever Oberon seemed to finally see the clue and understood Viselis' true intentions.

"It turned out to be so."

"Will Braavos turn us back?"

Oberon condensed his eyes and asked.

"do not know."

"But the necessary preparations are still done in advance."

Veserys didn't look up at the map spread on the table and said, he didn't see Oberon's wry smile.

Then he pointed his finger in the opposite direction.

This is the location of the port of Andalus, and it is also the port where the fleet of Dragon Stone Island in the dock is now docked.

"Build a large town here."

Viselis decided to vigorously develop this town, introduce a large population, and develop economic and trade promotion potential.

After all, the port here has the advantage of waterway. If you want to go to the caravan in Novos, here may be a little closer than Pantos.

Everyone in the Imperial Conference nodded slightly, and this idea was also in their expectations.

Because this port has gradually begun to rise along with the development of Andalus, with merchant ships calling, caravans moving, supplies, and so on.

Naturally, surrounding villagers gathered to do business with these caravans and merchant ships, coupled with the investment of wealthy merchants, and then began to spontaneously build a small town.

What Viserys has to do is to make more policy and financial tilts. With a sum of money from the royal family’s treasury to build this town, it will become an important part of the Targaryen royal family’s assets in the future. Benefit from the achievements of the future.

The plans for a camp and a town have been discussed, and in the end there are two castles that Viselis planned to build.

"The first castle is here."

Viselis pointed to the end west of Velvet Mountain, which was one of the two roads from Andalus to Pantos.

One is to take a boat down from the Upper Lorne River by water, disembark at the Three Forked River, and then go straight to Pantos by land.

And the second road that is flat over the entire land goes straight from Andalus to Pantos. It goes around here from the plain west of Velvet Mountain.

The place where Veselis’ fingers is now is this strategic location. If you look at the entire terrain on the east coast of the Essos continent, here is a sharp corner protruding outwards. The sharp point points straight to the direction of Longshidao and King's Landing.

"Build a'Sentinel Tower' here to detect possible raids by Stannis from the sea."

Stannis’s royal fleet is now Veselis’s foe. After all, the opponent is a famous general who rose in the War of the Usurpers and defeated the Dragon Stone Island fleet.

The'Sentinel Tower' planned to be built is actually like a watchtower or beacon. Below is a castle, with garrisons and a small military port. Ships patrolling in this area can be guarded against narrow An enemy coming suddenly across the sea.

"And the second seat is here."

Then Veserys pointed his finger at the Trigeminal River, the site of Ge Dohe, where this battle once broke out.

Veserys reached here during the previous expansion, and then decided to use this abandoned city-state here to build a castle.

"A ‘Horse Castle’ was built here to commemorate the heroes who resisted Dothraki’s invasion here."
