Roger complained: "This strait is really beautiful, but its name is really hard to read.

"Why do you Greeks give it such a complicated name?"

The captain said in surprise: "Is it complicated? I don't think so. The Bosphorus Strait is easy to read."

Roger said: "It's easy to say? I think it's even more complicated to read than 'a woman's sternum'."

The captain said: "You just divide ‘Bosbruce’ into two words and it will be easy to pronounce.

“‘bous’ means ‘cow’, and ‘phoros’ means ‘water wall’.”

Roger asked: "'Niushui Wall'? It sounds weird, what does it mean?"

The captain explained: "This comes from an ancient myth.

"Zeus, the head of the gods, has a lover named Io.

“In order to hide this from his wife Hera, he turned Io into a cow.

"Later, Hera knew about this. She turned into a cow fly to harass Eo who turned into a cow.

“In order to avoid cow fly, Io stepped over a wall of water.

"The water wall mentioned in myth is today's Bosphorus."

Roger looked at the strait and said seriously: "Can the cow cross this strait? I don't think he can even swim."

The captain said: "It must be a bit difficult to be so wide here, but in the middle of the strait, the narrowest place, which is only half Romani wide, so maybe it's OK."

Roger thoughtfully, half Romali was about 700 meters away.

He said: "It's not so lenient, and people can swim over."

The captain said: "It's still a bit difficult.

“There is an undercurrent in this strait, from the Black Sea to the Marmara Sea, very urgent.

"It's not easy to swim over. I swim over when I was young, but I can't do it now."

Roger moved his eyes away from the Bosphorus.

He turned to look at Golden Horn Bay.

He saw the beautiful scenery recorded in the later geography books:

Under the sunlight of the west, the sparkling golden horn bay emits a dazzling golden light.

He admired for a while, then turned his eyes to the mouth of the bay where the Golden Horn Bay flowed into the Marmara Sea.

He saw a thick iron chain that ran across the bay's mouth.

To the south of this chain, there is a fortress connected to the walls of Constantinople.

There are catapults and crossbows on the fortress.

Roger estimated the attack distance of these weapons.

He discovered that these weapons could destroy any ship near the chain.

But they cannot attack the flat ground near the Gulf.

Roger had a sudden whim.

He thought that if he dig a canal on the ground near the bay of the Galatian Peninsula to the north of the chain, he could drive the boat out.

Then, he was amused by his thoughts.

He thought, how much manpower and material resources would be required to dig a canal that can pass through medium-sized sailboats?

What's more, how could those Eastern Romans watch themselves dig canals here without caring about it?

Roger looked at the exposed dark stones on the peninsula.

He thought that there were probably these hard stones below, so it would be easier to dig a river.

But at this moment, it was like a flash of lightning passing through his mind.

He reexamined his thoughts just now.

Then, Roger made a bold decision.

Roger returned to the camp and immediately called a meeting of senior officers.

He also called Linardi and the captain.

After everyone arrived, Roger said, "I believe everyone has already understood what happened in Augustus Square today, so I will not repeat it."

“Now we have a bad relationship with the Eastern Roman Empire.

"I think what Harold said is 'Blood debt and blood repayment', which is more like an excuse.

"I think they must have been instructed by Deputy Emperor John, although I can't guess John's intention.

“But for safety reasons, we can’t stay here any longer.

"There is no danger here, and their troops can go out of the city to attack us at any time.

“I decided to move the camp to the north of Golden Horn Bay.

“So, if they want to attack us, they have to rush to land.

"And we can tell them with our guns and swords that this is not that easy.

"I've surveyed the site and I'm going to build a new camp on the Galatians."

Roger ordered Danny:

"From tomorrow, you and the captain will work together, transfer our soldiers and supplies in batches.

“Next, you are responsible for the construction of the new camp.

“I have a special request, I want you to build a wall on the shore near Golden Horn Bay.

“A spacious avenue is built behind the fence.

"We must build from the shallows on the west side of the chain to the shallows on the east side of the chain."

Roger turned to Odin again and said, "After your cavalry troop has moved, I ask you to take the cavalry back and forth on this avenue and consolidate it for me."

"I ask this road to withstand a lot of weight."

Roger then looked at Shana and Zarro, and he said:

"From tomorrow, all soldiers are not allowed to enter Constantinople privately."

Roger saw Shana pouting her mouth, looking reluctant.

He raised his face and said, "I'm talking about you, Shana, don't go shopping anymore."

Shana's reluctance turned into grievance.

Roger added: "Besides, do you still have money?"

"Wow!" Shana burst into tears.

Roger turned to Muthier and said, "I ask you to send someone immediately to withdraw all the spies in Constantinople.

"In addition, tomorrow, the people from the baggage team will be arranged to go to the north of Jinjiao Bay to log wood.

"The cut down wood is sent to the new camp and then made into rolling wood of the same thickness.

"In addition, I also asked you to bring all the wooden boards that Zarro bought last time to the new camp, and I'm going to use them to pave the way."

Muttier interrupted and said, "Those wooden boards are pretty good. Isn't it a waste to use for paving the road?"

Roger said: "I will explain later. You need to prepare the grease for animals. Then I need to brush the grease on the board to make them smooth enough."

Then Roger turned to the captain and said, "After you transfer our troops, I will bring your ship to the Bosphorus, and then you will send our troops across the strait."

The captain said in embarrassment: "But my ship cannot pass that chain, and the road is blocked by it."

Roger said: "No, the chains just block the waterway, but I'm going to walk from land."

The captain asked in surprise: "But my boat has no feet, how can I take the land?"

Roger explained: “I plan to get your boat ashore in the shallows inside the chain.

"Then put it on a rolling wood, pull it with a horse in the front and push it with a human in the back, so that it can pass through the highest point on the flat ground on the shore.

"Then, push the boat onto the road paved with animal grease and wood, let it slide down, slide all the way to the shallow at the other end of the chain, and then go into the sea."

The captain was a little surprised and said, "Can this be done?"

Rinaldi next to him said: "It should be possible, there is a precedent for this."
