Hearing the name "Master Feigni", Father Kaman subconsciously tightened his nerves.

Although he could hardly see any changes in his standing posture, everyone felt that he had become a predator who could slaughter strangers at any time.

On the contrary, Winters just hesitated for a short time and quickly relaxed.

Because he remembered where he had heard the name "Fegney" - yesterday, in the siege camp, the "chief stonemason of Mason's Leaf Castle kidnapped by Major Felt" mentioned by senior Mason.

"You are the apprentice of Fegney, the stonemason responsible for maintaining Maple Leaf Fort," Winters asked.

"Yes." The young man replied: "I am Master Feigni's apprentice."

"Felt caught your teacher, didn't you?"

"When the riots came, I hid them."

"Hide to this day?"

"Mr. Mikesh found me." The young man replied in a low voice.

"Did you find you?" Winters asked mercilessly: "or have you been hiding you until today?"

The young man lowered his head and stopped talking.

Mikesh Kellymin is the leading tycoon of Maple Stone City, the leader of the guild, and the main promoter of Maple Stone City's flag change after the Battle of Hegu Village.

But Winters had hardly dealt with this old man - because since Winters entered Maple Stone City, Mikesh had never appeared in public. He heard that he was seriously ill and could not see anyone.

Winters certainly knew exactly what "illness" Mikesh Kelemin got.

He was no longer surprised by this.

However, he was not in a hurry to force the "top people" in Fengshi City to choose a side station, so he did not take any special actions. He just sent some flowers and fruits to the local etiquette of Fengshi City.

At the critical moment when the New Reclamation Freedoms Conference is about to open, and the red rose flag is still flying on the Maple Leaf Fort, Mikesh Kelemine sent a stonemason apprentice who "is said to be able to take down Maple Leaf Fort."

Winters was a little surprised by such an abnormal proactive show of kindness.

However, compared to the planning of the wealthy merchant in Fengshicheng, Winters is now more curious about how capable the stonemason apprentice in front of him is, so he boasts about Haikou and said that he can help him capture the strongest fortress in Xinkendi Province.

"Do you know Maple Leaf Castle very well?" Winters took his map bag from his coat hook and asked the stonemason apprentice.

"yes."

Winters pulled out a few pieces of white paper from his map bag, and then took out the ruler and graphite strips: "How much do you know?"

The stonemason apprentice's nose felt sore and replied: "When I was ten years old, Master Feigni took me in. From that day on, I followed my master to take care of the Maple Leaf Castle."

Winters didn't say anything nonsense, and put the white paper, ruler and graphite strips on a small round table in the center of the living room: "Draw it for me."

The stonemason apprentice named Moser Jack was stunned for a moment, leaned on the small round table, picked up the ruler and graphite strips and drew a picture frame first, and then drew strokes on the white paper that became the "drawing".

The young man painted very well. He first stacked the papers together, pinned the holes with a needle, drew the baseline, and then returned to the first piece of paper and started writing from the underground structure.

Winters watched carefully from the side and asked questions from time to time, and the young stonemason apprentice answered happily.

The underground structure diagram was only halfway through the drawing, and Winters had already seen that the stonemason apprentice in front of him was not very old, but he was indeed capable.

Winters even deliberately gave him a ruler without a scale, but the other person still painted it in a very good manner, obviously "confident".

The more I observed it, the more I appreciated the young stonemason apprentice. From the question and answer just now, we can see that although the latter instinctively had three points of fear, the answers to the questions were very organized.

So, when the stonemason apprentice finished drawing the underground structure of Maple Leaf Fort and picked up another piece of paper to prepare to draw the building on the ground, Winters stopped him.

"Moser Jack, right? No need to draw any more - when will you become a disciple?" Winters exclaimed: "I will build a lot of roads and bridges in the future, and I can use a good player like you."

The young man was frozen in place and didn't know how to answer.

"You can treat my words as an invitation, not an order." Winters was not in a hurry and asked instead: "Tell me, what can you do to make Maple Leaf Castle fall."

To be honest, the underground storage space of Maple Leaf Fort is even larger than Winters expected. If each of them is full, then the more than 500 mouths in the fortress can last forever, at least it will not be a problem until the teeth fall out.

To put it further, if every warehouse is full, then Maple Leaf Fort is a must-have treasure for the coalition forces.

Hearing the Blood Wolf's words, the young man hesitated and asked: "Then my master..."

Lord Winters Montane, who has been regarded as a vicious beast countless times, is too lazy to defend himself.

He asked bluntly: "Have your teacher committed any crime?"

"Disobey you..."

Winters interrupted the other party: "It doesn't count being confined to be bullied."

"That……"

Winters asked back: "It's just not, so why are you worried that he will die at my hands?"

"But they said..."

"Why not listen to what others say to me, why don't you listen to what I said in person?" Winters said a few more words: "Since your teacher has not committed a crime, why should I punish him? Do I look like an indiscriminate butcher and tyrant?"

The young man was silent.

Winters paused for a moment and added coldly: "But the bullets have no eyes, and Maple Leaf Castle has been besieged for more than a month. I cannot guarantee that your teacher will be alive now. But no matter what, the longer the war is delayed, the higher the risk of his death. So, tell me, what can you do to solve Maple Leaf Castle."

The young man was silent for a moment, and took the schematic diagram of the underground structure to the top and pointed to one of the areas.

"Storage pool." Winters had just asked the stonemason how to use the underground areas of the stonemason, and immediately answered. He frowned and asked back, "Why, do you want to tell me that the water pool in Maple Leaf Fort is dry?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The young man showed a hint of panic: "Did you already know?"

"Mr. Moser." Although Winters was disappointed, he still politely told the stonemason apprentice: "As soon as I surrounded Maple Leaf Fort, I ordered the way to cut off the defenders' route to the river to fetch water. But more than a month later, they were not thirsty. Obviously, there was no shortage of water in Maple Leaf Fort."

The young man licked his dry lips and decided to start from the beginning: "Sir, when Maple Leaf Fort was first built, my master dug seven wells in the fort site. Each of the water was muddy and could not be drunk at all. However, the site selection of Maple Leaf Fort could no longer be changed. In desperation, he drew a piece of land and dug out the water storage pool."

Winters nodded slightly and signaled the young man to say further.

"Although there is a water storage pool, you can only carry the water with your hands and shoulders. So when the Maple Leaf Fort was expanded twelve years ago, my master dug another underwater channel to lure the river into the fort. From then on, you can directly take water from the underwater well and inject it into the reservoir."

He said too much in one breath, and was too nervous, the young man was already a little dry and his voice was a little hoarse.

Seeing this, Winters poured a glass of water for the stonemason apprentice.

The young man drank the water thankfully and continued, "But because the culvert well is too convenient, no one uses the water storage tank over time. The water storage tank has also become an "empty room", and some people start to put some debris in it.

A year ago, General Adams ordered the transfer of the legion's supplies from the city into the fort as much as possible. There were too many things in the Maple Leaf Fort and there was not enough warehouse, so he simply cleaned the reservoir and filled it with gunpowder and other things that were afraid of tide."

"So the water storage pool in Maple Leaf Fort has no water, and it is impossible to have water. Even if you want to re-inject water, you can't find any space to transfer the materials in the water storage pool." The young man told the fatal hole of Maple Leaf Fort: "The people in the fort must still use the culvert well. As long as the culvert is destroyed, Maple Leaf Fort will be destroyed without attacking."

As soon as these words were spoken, even the little Preskin, who knew nothing about military affairs, showed joy.

But Winters did not agree and asked the stonemason apprentice: "It was twelve years ago that the culvert was dug. How old are you now?"

"Twenty, sir."

"You said you were taken in by your teacher when you were ten years old." Winters asked solemnly: "So when you were digging the culvert, you were not present. Can you find the inlet of the culvert?"

The young man didn't expect the blood wolf to be so keen. He bit his lip, lowered his head, and was silent for a long time. But when he raised his head again, there was no fear in his eyes, only determination.

"Yes." Moser Jack gritted his teeth and replied firmly: "I must find it."

Winters looked at the stonemason apprentice for a moment and called the messenger directly: "Go and tell Richard Mason to not have any negotiations with Maple Leaf Fort until Mr. Moser has news."

"As for you, Mr. Moser." Winters looked at the youth: "Finding the culvert, you will be the chief stonemason of Maple Leaf Castle in the future."

...

[Maple Leaf Castle]

In the early morning, Major Ald Felt woke up from his sleep with a smile. He cheered up and washed himself up, preparing to continue negotiations with the rebels today.

The sentry sent a message saying that there was something strange on the surface of Anya River.

Major Felt immediately went to check and saw two large ships fixed together with wooden beams anchored on the side of the river near Maple Leaf Fort. There were more than a dozen small boats tied around the ship. From time to time, someone sneaked into the river and then surfaced after a while.

Major Felt looked at the soldiers in confusion for a while, and suddenly became shocked: "It's bad!"

He immediately ordered people to find the chief stonemason Feigni, who was detained in the fort, to ask alone.

After a while, the door was pushed open suddenly, and Major Felt's anxious shout echoed in the corridor: "Hurry up! Fill all the things that can fill with water!"

...

On the other hand, the siege also encountered difficulties.

Finding the inlet of the culvert is a hundred times better than expected, but how to block it is a big problem.

Everyone proposed methods such as "filling mud and sand" and "falling stones", but they were all rejected by the Mason Baomin official who was in charge of the on-site command.

"The mud and sand are light. If you pour it from the river surface and fall to the bottom of the river, I don't know how far it will be rolled out." Mason patiently explained to his subordinates: "The stone will inevitably leave gaps to cover the water inlet. Although it can reduce the amount of water inlet, it cannot completely cut off the water route, and instead will become a protective shell for the water inlet."

After discussion, everyone finally came to an unanimous conclusion: there was no other good way, so they could only use gunpowder and blow it up.

Blasting can be regarded as the traditional craft of the Tiefeng County Army, which is used the most and practiced the most.

But underwater blasting was the first time this time, and Mason's engineers were in trouble.

"If you are on the ground, put the coffin in, you will do everything for it." Someone murmured: "But underwater... Gunpowder is most afraid of water, and he still has to be underwater..."

"Asphalt can be separated from water, and brush it on both inside and outside. Wrap it with oil paper, oil cloth, and brush asphalt. Keep a drop of water in it," another engineer officer immediately proposed a solution, but he was also wondering: "It's not difficult to waterproof, but how can you send gunpowder to the place and how can you detonate it?"

At the end of the crowd, one hand raised timidly.

Mason looked closely and found that it was Moser Jack, the stonemason apprentice who led people to find the entrance to the culvert.
