Bab 378: Jabel's Nobles (Part-1)

Alexander thought about the two generals' suggestions and reconsidered his actions.

Melodias uttering the word 'land' made Alexander remember that he had no detailed maps of the surrounding area, as Pasha Muazz had cleaned his study before Alexander could take over the city.

And so if he wanted to make his own maps, the only way would be for him to send surveyors into the other lands and ask the locals about the land features.

And even then that map would likely be grossly inaccurate because without having a bird's eye view, one needed to stay in one place more a long time to get the scale and positions of the various features correct.

Not to mention, if this was on another noble's land, this type of action would be slightly short of declaring war according to them, as surveying another's land was usually followed up by an invasion mostly using the secret routes discovered during this process.
