Chapter 1183 - Henry's Dilemma

Who? Who was it that wanted him dead?

Several beads of sweat poured out of Henry's forehead when he thought of the incident yesterday.

If not for the Baymardians that were seated beside him, talking about diplomatic matters, he would've been long fed by now.

At the time, he was riding in the carriage alongside some officials and guards sent to his majesty Landon to talk about official matters... As well as to respond and show him how to better drainage within the city.

Yes. Some parts had poor drainage. And during the winter, spring or fall, these areas became a little flooded with waters reaching ankle level at times.

Of course, there were only 4 areas around the city that had these problems. The rest of the gigantic city was still okay... Even though there was no form of drainage there.

Thus, he had wanted to change the situation within these regions.

And that's why he had to develop his own unique drainage gutters, inspired by some of the open gutters he saw in Baymard.

He planned to dig open trenches across each street and road before connecting it to some point along one of the front sections of the city walls, sending it out of the city.

Of course, he would put prison-like bars on the region around the walls, allowing the water to pass through, but rejecting spies to enter the city.

This prison-bar water system was standard in almost all places around the world.

This was how they let out the stream or river waters running through their territories.

All territories were built and centered around water sources. So of course they would be there.

It wouldn't make sense for someone to travel out of the city just to fetch water.

Do you know how big the city was?

Please! It would take hours and hours just to reach the city gates for many people.

So who would go outside to fetch a single bucket of water?

That said, Henry had first thought of connecting the drainage to the streams, rivers and flowing water sources within the city but dared not take the risk.

The water here was their livelihood for feeding cattle, sheep and even themselves.

Sure.

Even after the law had been changed, many people were still pooping or peeing the waters, as well as bathing in the streams and water sources.

But at least, the pollution rate had gone down.

Thus, he didn't want to accidentally add more pollution to their only water sources.

Maybe it was because people knew how valuable the water was that no one dared to drop items carelessly in them.

Feces and pee dissolved within the waters. And even bead bodies and cattle would eventually get eaten by the fish there too.

But if one dropped a chair or even a can in there, it wouldn't dissolve.

Henry feared that if he connected the drainages to the rivers, the rain would pick up these things and send them into the rivers, leaving floating items all across the water sources.

And that's why he decided to create separate outlets for the drains.

.

Again, one shouldn't forget that the city walls themselves were so thick that a carriage would have to pass through a tunnel on the walls for a bit whenever it was trying to enter or exit the city.

So Henry could place 8~14 of these bars at various intervals, evenly spaced, sending the drainage waters out.

With all that said, he personally worked with his men to come up with what he thought was a sound drainage system, and sent his thoughts to Landon.

And in Landon's response, he only said that it seemed like a good idea but asked them to come up with a fail-safe mechanism too.

What happens when they want to clean the prison-like bars of any bags, clothes or items caught in the drains?

They had to create another exit point along the walls to deviate everything.

With that, they could clean or do anything they wanted... Even maintenance.

Well, Landon didn't give them any suggestions and only asked them what they would do when they wanted to clean up, and so on.

It was now up to Henry and his team to brainstorm on the matter.

After all, Landon was prohibited by the system from saying too much.

One could get inspired by Baymard and might even want to create things similar to Baymard.

But they would have to learn, make mistakes and come up with their own unique ideas and ways of solving problems.

Who knows, they might even do something better than him.

Additionally, they didn't have control rooms, sensors and other modern technology to help them.

So their solutions would definitely be different and unique from what was in Baymard.

And apart from this matter about the city's drainage problem, there were more diplomatic matters about safety, siege weapons, prisoner transfers, official meetings, new U.N members and several other things that Henry and the Baymardians were thoroughly discussing while riding within the carriages.

And within one of the desolate regions located at the far back of the city, close to one of the walls, the gang had all been attacked by ?ssassins!

They sprung out like the wind and began attacking them mercilessly.

Henry lost 1 of his men yesterday, and the 3 Baymardians were insured, stabbed brutally.

Luckily, everyone else, out of the entourage of 40, was fine.

But it only made them a little more fearful.

Everyone could see that these ?ssassins weren't ordinary.

Was it Ulrich's mother, former Queen Lilian? Or Winston's mother and supporters?

His 2 half-brothers were rotting away in Baymard's prison.

So could it be someone that wanted revenge for them?

Henry's face turned grim.

Who could command such skilled ?ssassins?
