Chapter 1461 Henry's Dilemma
Why couldn’t they just settle down for a bit and give him a moment’s rest?
The more Henry thought about this, the more furious he was.
But he didn’t lose his cool since he had long expected the opposition when he took the throne.
In Arcadina, many didn’t oppose William because Alec was already a nightmare. In Terique, they welcomed Astar’s reign with open arms after Nopline’s demise.
In Carona, Penelope was well-loved.
And of course in Yodan, though Sirius had faced opposition since his father Maclaine had been on his side from a young age. It helped him build a solid foundation in the shadows. So Sirius taking the throne once the matter was revealed was only natural.
But in his case, he had the most regulations all coming at him at once.
This was probably why Baymard sent more help to him than those in the other empires.
But of course, he couldn’t rely on Baymard all the time.
The Baymardians were mostly here to find and save all babies thrown in the forest zones maliciously.
The Baymardians were more focused on humanitarian works, leaving matters of rolling the empire to himself.
They had only helped him during the beginning months of his rule and during the period when the first batch of his Deifer knights got sent to Baymard for training.
The Baymardians did pull out a while ago.
The only time they guarded him was if they were there for a special mission that requested them to work alongside him for a specific period.
In the end, most things were left to him and his trusted men as should be.
He was already grateful to Baymard for doing this much.
So unless he felt defeated, he wouldn’t ask for their help in dealing with these Crusaders.
Look! Baymard was already training his men and many he sent over there.
It can be said that the training was successful because those who returned had a massive shift in attitude and work ethics.
His private Royal Barracks in Deiferus changed with many teaching the others how to act and what training drills they would follow.
Their schedule was strict, and most of those who returned simulated the Barrack situation similar to that in Baymard’s.
The prison systems and training regimes were also in effect.
This in Henry’s mind, was the biggest gift Baymard had given him.
It was just that he couldn’t help wondering how Baymard’s training fared against the almighty Morgany’s.
This was something that many subconsciously asked with no ill intentions but pure curiosity.
You have to know that getting a chance to train in Morgany was akin to getting the opportunity to enter heaven’s doors.
So many thought that if Baymard, an empire in this lesser continent, had such powerful training skills, imagine how powerful those from Morgany would be?
In the end, this question was an unanswered one.
.
The city of Whitepold.
Henry had a stern expression, thinking of what they might face ahead.
According to their report, Whitepold held 2 major factions that spearheaded the killings.
He was here not only to make a statement against these crusaders but also to cleanse Whitepold city.
Suddenly, he heard the abrupt sound of someone tapping the carriage window twice.
But he didn’t reach for the window.
It was one of his aides, Twilight, that opened the plastic-glass-looking window with ease.
That’s right.
Baymardian windows primarily used in vehicles were also imported by various carriage and wagon builders.
Who wouldn’t want such a clear and stunning window when moving about?
The Baymardians were so kind enough to sell these glasses in rectangular, circular, and square-shaped of various cut dimensions particular for wagons, carriages, caravans, and other enclosed modes of transportation.
Of course, the thick usual wooden windows they typically used weren’t removed from the wagons.
They chose to layer both windows together.
Standing outside a carriage, the windows were the see-Baymardian ones.
And if a person wanted privacy, not allowing those outside from seeing the inside, they would unlatch the wood window latched on the inner carriage ceiling, lowering it like a flap.
Again, it should also be noted that the transparent Baymardian windows could also be lowered or raised too. And Landon had nothing to do with the ingenious ideas of these carriage builders.
Even shocking to him was that they had used the same idea that plan windows used.
When seated in an airplane, if you don’t want to see the outside or the clouds anymore, what do you do? You raise the shaded part to seal the windows.
They used this same logic to make the windows raise or lower the Baymardian windows from the inside.
And the carriage parts below the windows were slightly thicker since the transparent window would slide down into the wood.
Baymards locomotive windows were popular, and many wooden vehicles were quick to hop on this trend.
And now, all around Pyno, many had these clear Baymardian windows on their carriages, wagons, and all the rest.
But of course, another thing that many might realize was that there was indeed a slight difference between the windows exported out compared to the overly thin framed windows in Baymard.
These particular windows exported out were arrow tested by the Baymardians. This was also placed in the advertisements for the windows.
Baymard was safe: but out here, they weren’t.
That’s why those exported were made differently, not as flexible and ‘soft’ as those in Baymard.
And to serve as an even greater backup, the wooden windows were also left by the carriage designers.
.
~Knock. Knock.
The tapping noises echoed with the carriage.
Raising the red curtains, Henry and the other 2 inside the carriage stared at the person riding alongside their window on horseback.
”Your majesty, the scouts are back.”
The man said, passing a thinly rolled paper.
Henry nodded. “Fall back and wait for further instructions.”
Depending on the message, their plans might have to change.
