One week after the first water well had problems, all the water wells in Bailu City were abandoned.

None of the wells produced water anymore.

However, because the central government of the Frankish Empire had taken all the water resources in the city into its hands in advance and provided every household in the city with the minimum water resources, even if all the wells in the city stopped producing water, the mood of all the citizens in the city was still relatively stable. , order in the city can barely be maintained.

However... all the important ministers in the center of the Frankish Empire know that this situation can only last another month and a half...

Because they have already calculated - the water resources they currently reserve, even if they are distributed to each city citizen at the minimum, will only be enough for them to use for half a month at most.

In other words - in half a month, they will be in a desperate situation with no water available.

There were still many people in the center of the Frankish Empire who had not given up hope.

For example - Shade.

Shade now locks himself in his room every day, flipping through the set of books without covers, looking for a way to break this desperate situation.

Eat, drink, poop and sleep, all in the room.

No matter who tried to persuade him to put down his books and walk out of the room, he would not listen.

In addition to Shade, some important ministers headed by Erwin did not give up hope.

The ministers headed by Erwin summoned all the hydrology experts in the city to try to pump out some underground water in the city.

To dig out underground water in just half a month is basically a fantasy.

However, even if it is a fantasy, Erwin and others are not willing to sit there and wait for death, doing everything they can.

Some people are unwilling to give up hope, but on the other hand, many people have already given up hope.

Faced with this desperate situation, these people completely gave up their struggle.

Living a chaotic life that can be lived day by day...

There are also some people who neither give up the struggle nor make progress...

Allen is a typical representative of this kind of person...

…

…

Frankish Empire, Bailu, Allen's home.

"Alan, what happened today? Why did you come home suddenly?"

Allen's wife, Nifa, placed plates of bread on the table and asked Allen, who was already sitting at the table, puzzled.

"I just missed you all of a sudden, so I planned to come back and have dinner with you after a long absence." Allen forced out a smile that was not very pretty.

Allen's statement is not actually a lie.

He really missed his wife and son.

Because only by returning to his wife and son can Allen temporarily escape from the current desperate situation...allow Allen to escape from all kinds of difficulties...

In order not to cause panic among the people in the city, the Frankish Empire Central Committee did not inform the people of the tragic situation that there was no water in the city.

The citizens of Belu who were still deceived could only receive the minimum amount of water every day.

The water that can be received every day can barely sustain life, so it is extremely precious.

Precisely because water is so precious now, the citizens of Bailu City have not had a bath in some days.

But because everyone has no water to take a bath now, everyone stinks, so no one can smell their own smell.

At the same time, because water resources are very precious now, everyone uses less salt when cooking to avoid dry mouth.

Although Allen made a rare trip home to reunite with his wife and children tonight, the atmosphere in the house was extremely heavy.

The reason--it's because Allen's expression at this time is really scary.

There was no emotion on his face.

He just ate the bread with an expressionless expression.

Allen's expression directly affected the atmosphere of the scene, making it indescribably solemn...

Allen affected the atmosphere;

The atmosphere also affected Nifa and Adam, making the mother and son find it difficult to swallow the bread in their hands.

"well……"

Nifa put down the bread in her hands and sighed.

"Days like this...I really don't know when they will end..."

As soon as Nifa finished speaking, Adam said bitterly:

"It's all the fault of the abominable Britannia and Hiran people! If it weren't for their invasion of us, we wouldn't have to be in this situation where we can't even get out of Bailu City!"

"The Britons are a bunch of hateful savages who don't even know how to bathe!"

Adam turned his head and looked at Allen.

"Father! Speaking of this, I feel sorry for you! You have been lurking for such a long time in a smelly country where no one takes a bath!"

Allen was stunned for a moment when he heard Adam's words.

The Britons did not have a bathing culture - this rumor was widely circulated in the Frankish Empire.

In the impression of almost all Franks who have never been to the Britannia Empire - the Britannia Empire is a smelly country.

Allen, when he was young, thought so at first.

It wasn't until he joined the army and started fighting with the Britannia Empire's troops that he didn't smell any unpleasant odor from the Britannia Empire's soldiers. Allen didn't know this "Everyone in Britannia is a man." The rumor about not taking a shower is completely false.

In addition to "no one in Britannia takes a bath", there are also many versions of negative rumors circulating in the Frankish Empire.

For example - Britannians like to eat raw meat.

Britannian women are miserable and treated like men.

Britannias have a cruel temperament, and their favorite thing to do is to torture prisoners of war.

…

After being silent for a while, Allen said in a deep voice:

"...Adam, the rumor that people in Britannia don't bathe at all is actually completely false..."

"Britannias know how to bathe just like us, and they do it very often."

"Some people from well-off families even take a shower every day."

"Father...what are you talking about?" Adam looked at Allen with doubtful eyes, "Why are you helping the Britons to speak?"

"...I'm not speaking for Britons, I'm just stating a fact."

"The Britons are just ordinary people like us Franks."

"It doesn't have an extra arm or an extra foot."

"They are no different from us except for the language they speak."

"There are a lot of bad people among them, too."

Allen recalled the looks he had just received from those who disliked him when he "returned" to the Britannia Empire.

"There are also...many good people."

The faces of Enli, Albert, Gozevin, and... Ilsa flashed in front of Allen's eyes one by one.

"So... stop saying stupid things like Britannians are barbarians who don't bathe..."

"Father..." The puzzlement on Adam's face became more and more intense, "What's wrong with you? Why do you want to speak for the Britannia people? The Britannia people are a bunch of barbarians who don't even know how to take a bath. Man, is this wrong?"

"I've said it all...I'm not speaking for Britannians..."

"Father, the Britannians are all our enemies. How can there be any good people among them..."

"Didn't you hear what I just said?! There are both bad and good people in the Britannia Empire. Why don't you understand?!"

Allen roared, raised his fist, and punched the table hard.
