Although Horn's message had not yet reached Hotam County, Herman, who was in charge, intuitively chose the Poison Witch Swamp as the flood discharge site.
This was almost the only choice.
After the collapse of the Innocent Dam, Shangruifo County basically had neither the time nor the ability to intercept it.
The only thing they could do was, like Horn did in the past, quickly take shelter on nearby mountains.
Of course, the flood they face now is certainly not at the same level as the one Horn faced back then.
Firstly, there hasn't been much rain this year, and secondly, they can open the Tree Hedge Dam to reduce losses.
Previously, it wasn't opened just because the lands near High Castle belonged to the church lords, and Banifus wouldn't allow it.
Now it's different, and everyone is treated equally.
