Chapter 424 Code Violet!
Landon and Lucius followed behind the soldier and swiftly made their way towards the meeting room.
"Your majesty, King-Father army General Lucius... this is where I'll leave you both." The young man said while giving them another Goodbye salute
"You did well Lieutenant Spencer!" Lucius said.
And with that, Landon and Lucius immediately stepped into the meeting room.
Once again, everyone rose up from their seats and greeted them.
Of course, soon after, they all sat down, and the mission had finally begun.
20 minutes into the meeting, Landon and Lucius had been well informed on the problem at hand.
Before, they only briefly knew of the situation at hand.
But now... they thoroughly understood everything concerning the issue.
"So..... what do you all suggest we do?" Landon asked.
Before he gave out his own solution, it was best to hear out what others thought as well.
"Your majesty, one of the main issues..... is that the roads are very close to the woods, making the animals come out and grab people as they liked.
So why don't we clear out some trees around the pedestrian footpath, creating ample distance between the pavement and the forest?" Said a female soldier, who was in charge of one of the sectors within King's Landing.
"Hmm.... that would definitely aid to make a divide between the forest and the highway roads.
"Alright!
Let's note down all the suggestions.
And after we're done, we'll analyze and talk in depth on the pros and cons of each point and later take a vote on them so as to choose the best options"
.
And so just like that, they debated and spoke for another 2 hours..... before finally concluding on what needed to be done.
First off, one should recognize that not only were the people not safe, but even those soldiers who had to keep a lookout from above those glass towers were also in danger as well.
And not surprising, Landon found out that most of the points that he wanted to suggest.... were already suggested by Lucius and the others in the room.
So to start off, they had agreed to create a very wide gap between the road and the forest.
Hence the government would have to contract some construction workers to get that done immediately.
And of course, while they worked, the soldiers would protect them as well, lest some wild animals attacked them while on the job.
.
In addition to creating ample space, Landon had also wanted them to place Road Rails along the roads as well.
This was also good, so that in the future when everyone in Arcadina or the world owned a car..... the railings could help prevent accidents or cars from sliding or skidding off the road and crashing onto the woods tragically.
In short, there were more than 11 solutions that had been voted and approved from all 27 solutions that had been suggested.
And just like that, the meeting came to an end, with Landon asking them to write a formal report and submit to the government office in District C.
Of course just to be sure that they didn't miss any crucial information or solution.... everyone decided to head on towards 'Shanks road', and envision these solutions for themselves.
Would what they had come up with actually be enough?
Would it keep the visitors safe?
These were all questions that they needed to figure out for themselves while inspecting.
.
As they walked in the roads, several peasants and people in carriages and horses all saluted them gleefully.
"Good afternoon your majesty!"
"Good afternoon King-Father Lucius!"
"Good afternoon seniors!"

One should know that Landon and Lucius' faces we're on some Bay bills..... As well as some posters in Baymard.
So how could those who had gone to Baymard frequently not recognize them?
And so just like that..... More than 45 minutes had passed since Landon and the rest had begun inspection.
They were almost ready to call it quits for the day.... But then, something happened!
Out of nowhere, a wild animal immediately grabbed a 6-year-old child from the side and pulled the child into the forest with great force.
"Timothy!!!!" An elderly woman who had been walking alongside the boy, screamed out in pain from sadness.
In her mind, her sweet grandson was gone.
A tear quickly slid down her wrinkly cheeks and her vision became blurry from the waterworks.
But before she knew it, someone came behind her and patterned her gently.
"Granny.... please get up, he will be brought back in no time." Said the calming soothing voice of a tall stranger in Baymard military attire.
The elderly woman quickly wiped her eyes to look at the man before her.
Did he just say that to make her happy, or was he telling the truth?
No matter what, she felt like she had to look into the eyes of this stranger to be sure.
A minute later, she burst out into more tears.... as she felt that there was hope.
Her grandson might make it!
As for who had gone after her grandson..... she honestly didn't know who they were, but she truly thanked them in her heart.
Of course, her grandson wasn't the only one who had been grabbed..... just around her space, 7 others had been trapped as well.
Everyone wailed, as they truly felt despair.... but fortunately, they all saw hope as they saw the confident look on the soldiers' face.
They immediately dropped to their knees and kowtowed more than 10 times to the man who was comforting them.
"Thank you sir..... thank you!"
.
When the soldier who comforted them saw that everyone had now calmed down..... he immediately took out his Walkie Talkie and contacting those at King's Landing.
"Code Violet!
Code Violet!
I repeat Code Violet!!!!
We have an animal attack on 'Shanks Road'!
I need paramedics immediately for the injured.
As well as more soldiers now!!"
"_"
As the soldier spoke, the peasants around him all stood, as they truly wanted to see how this would turn out.
It was just 1 P.m..... so no matter what, they had the time to watch this show, as Baymard's gates dong close until 10 P.M.
So why not watch?
Plus the soldier right now sounded so heroic that they were in awe just from watching how fast he reacted to the crises at hand.
Even the little boys and girls around couldnthelp but look at the man as a hero.
Now, they silently wished that they could be part of this sort of heroic squad.
Meanwhile, once those who were at King's Landing got the message..... they immediately passed on the message, jumped out of their seats, and dashed out of their offices.
In short, after the message was delivered.... the entire place became helter-skelter, as people ran left right and center continously.
"Quickly! Quickly!
Where are the military paramedics?
Oh my God!
What's taking everyone so long?
5 minutes tops, I expect to see as many people as possible out there!
Get at least 3 Military doctors within the paramedics here now.
And what about ammunition?
We don't know what animal it is, so get the big guns always!
Dammit!
Soldiers are out there fighting for their lives....yet you all are here strolling around like grannies.
Hurry up!
That's an order!
