Chapter 1095
1095 Chapter 1,136: Cruel Choice
“Lord Luke… based on the current consumption, the rations in the troop can only last for four days at most…”
In the distant troop of Kate City, David, who had been promoted to logistics quartermaster, reported with a solemn expression.
In the tent, the other generals’faces became solemn after hearing the news. In an army troop, rations represented the last bit of confidence. Once this thing was gone, the hearts of the people that had been painstakingly gathered might very well fall apart.
After all, the current situation was so desperate that it was difficult for people to breathe. If the provisions were gone again, it was really hard to imagine what those numb-faced soldiers would do.
The key was that they did not even know where to find supplies… …
The vegetation visible to the naked eye along the way was infected. It was very obvious that the situation was exactly the same as the one in Kate City. Not to mention replenis.h.i.+ng food, even replenis.h.i.+ng water was extremely difficult.
The team was barely able to maintain order because of the shelter the orc had mentioned. The group of people held on desperately as if they were looking for a plum to quench their thirst. Even though the orc could not even tell them the exact location of the shelter.., however, the human instinct to survive made them feel like they had grasped onto the last straw and chose to believe him.
However, this kind of persistence was not without a bottom line. Every day’s hards.h.i.+ps were wearing down everyone’s patience. The huge camel was now only one straw away from collapsing, and the news that the food supply was bottoming out.., it was very likely to be this last straw.
The tent fell into silence. The decision makers in the tent, including Luke and Bundy, were all silent. It was obvious that even they could not digest this news.
After a long time, Luke finally managed to come back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, “How many people know about this news?”
“The ones in charge of the grain are your trusted aides. They are very strict. They should not leak it…”David quickly said.
Luke sighed and nodded. This Old Knight of Bundy was indeed very meticulous. He seemed to have antic.i.p.ated this situation a long time ago. He requested for his personal guards to help with the supervision and distribution of the grain, from the looks of it now, it was indeed a wise move.
However, this was only a slight delay because things would not disappear just because they were well hidden. In the end, the truth could not be kept secret.
“Cut the quota…”Luke sighed and said. The current situation could only be like this. As long as it could be more than one day, it would be another day.
David was stunned. He wanted to say that the quota for most people was already very little. After all, everyone did not rest every day. Their daily schedule would exceed sixteen hours. With the little food they had now.., it was already relying on amazing perseverance to be able to persist.
Of course, he could not refute it, because other than cutting the quota, he could not think of any good ideas.
Since the quota had been cut, they had to discuss which part of the quota to cut.
“Grom can’t cut…”Bundy said first.
When he said this, no one in the tent refuted him. Although the orc’s appet.i.te was astonis.h.i.+ng, and a person’s appet.i.te was equivalent to the rations of thousands of people, no one refuted him.
Not to mention that the orc was their only hope, just based on the contribution they had made along the way, no one was qualified to reduce his quota.
As the route was towards the south coast, they had encountered many mutated creatures during their journey through several big cities. Every time they encountered such a terrifying monster, it was basically this orc who stood up and killed them, now, he was the basic safety guarantee of the team. One person felt more effective than their entire army.
Many civilians even felt that their soldiers were unnecessary because they could not get involved in many battles.
The ORC quota could not be reduced, and neither could the officer’s quota.
Their generals had already been reduced to the point that they could not be reduced any further. Their daily consumption was similar to that of ordinary officers, and it did not seem appropriate to reduce them to the same level as civilians.
They could not whittle the soldiers either. The mental pressure on the soldiers was extremely high, and they had to face the accusations of injustice from the civilians. They had already endured to the limit. If they were to whittle the military rations any further, it would probably lead to a mutiny.
After thinking about it, they could only whittle the civilians…
Luke thought for a moment and finally said, “If the quotas for women and children are not changed, and only the quotas for ordinary civilian men are reduced, how many more days can they last?”
These words made David, who was born a commoner, feel a little complicated, but he also knew that this was a measure of helplessness.
From a moral point of view, giving priority to women and children to a certain extent would make people more reasonable, especially the heads of the families. As the pillars of the family, it was probably acceptable for them to suffer a little and let their wives and children eat a little more.
Thinking of this, David Sighed and finally answered honestly, “If we cut the rations for all the ordinary men, we can save about three days’worth of rations.”
“Only three days?”Luke frowned and was not satisfied with this number.
“Three days is barely enough…”David said with a bitter smile.
“What if we cut it to one-third?”
David was stunned. He felt that this was too ruthless. At least there had to be a process… … Directly cutting it by one-third. With the current intensity of the journey, many people might not be able to last more than two days before they fell.
“That should be five days…”
“It’s decided then!”Luke didn’t wait for David to react and made the decision.
“This…”David looked around and wanted to ask for help from others, but he was surprised to find that everyone in the tent, including his old boss, Duke Bondi, had tacitly agreed to this decision.
He was puzzled. Before he could say anything, bondi suddenly said, “Sometimes you have to give up when you should. It’s good for many soldiers who are single and have lost their families to have fewer men.”
“Eh?”This inexplicable sentence made David dumbfounded. However, he was also a smart person. After a few seconds of being stunned, he understood.
The adults wanted to completely give up on civilian men!
After coming to this conclusion, everything could be explained.
Most of the soldiers in the team either did not have a family, or their families had died in the chaos. 100,000 soldiers were all single men.
It must be known that from the current intelligence, these people were very likely the last people on the continent. From this, it seemed that the women in Kate City were also the last women on the continent.
By giving up on the civilian men, the women in their families could be freed up. In order to survive, the women needed to find a strong man to support their families, and the soldiers also needed a family to rely on, only then would they have a goal to strive for.
Kill two birds with one stone!
At the thought of this, David’s heart suddenly felt cold. Although he knew that this decision was for the hope of the entire team’s survival, but this… … Wasn’t this a little too much?
“No Need!”
Just when David didn’t know how to reply, a mellow voice came from the entrance of the tent. Then, a huge and burly figure bent down and entered the tent.
David’s spirits were lifted. The person who came was Brother Dog.
“Mr. Grom…”Luke saw that the orc had barged in to object, he frowned at first, but he still replied in a gentle tone, “This is also a helpless move. After all, we need more time to find the sanctuary that you mentioned. We have no choice but to give up some people because of this…”
“Tomorrow…”brother dog directly interrupted him.
“Ah?”Luke was stunned.
“Tomorrow, we will reach the destination!”Brother Dog said faintly.
Everyone:”! ! !”
