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.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
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?
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?
