The next morning, there was anxiety on everyone's face. The lack of food and the scarcity of it in the surrounding areas was starting to cause a bitter expression on their faces.
Hunger and weariness were like a phantom that creeped out their minds, unsettling their feelings and causing them to think of nasty ideas. Of course, they shook their heads and cleared their minds. After all, they were still sane to think rationally.
However, what was more rationale in their current situation? Wasn't the best thing to do is to secure their survival?
Some were starting to contradict their feelings.
The little the food they had eaten the more stress they were building up.
Kanna asked for another meeting with all the captains of each squad.
They needed to gather every little idea they could have, finding loopholes from their predicament. But the pace of their meeting faced a dead end. They were back in the corner and just going round and round. Nothing new came to their minds, all was the same as the other day. No matter how many times they squeeze their minds for a drop of it, no juices anymore have been coming out to lighten up the darkening road and ease their wary feelings.
They found themselves staring in the blank space with their minds afloat emptily.
This time, the meeting ended without anyone producing any good and new ideas.
On top of it, they began thinking of "if's!".
They could only lament for not noticing the problem sooner, maybe "if" they have, they could ask the commander for a solution before he disappears.
"If" only the commander was here, maybe the situation wasn't as bad. "If" they didn't dump all the dead bodies of the beasts along with the bandit's corpse, they would never run out of food.
They began regretting.
With crestfallen, Kanna went back to the temporary office and sank her face on the desk.
"How's the meeting, Miss Kanna?" Asked Yun while lifting open the curtain to permit the brightness of morning and wafted the dimness inside. Though, she could guess from her sunken expression that the meeting wasn't fortuitous.
"It's bad. No one was able to think of good ideas," She replied in a glum tone.
Kanna was haunted with anxiety about the disappearance of the commander. As the second-in-command, she had to take responsibility for the army's survival.
The following day was much worse. No more soldiers went to search for food in the relative area.
"Miss Kanna, Miss Kanna!"
Her assistant, Soldier Yun, rushed to the office while screaming.
Hanna tiredly lifted her head to look at her friend. Hearing her scream, she had a bad feeling about it. Deep inside she was screaming 'Not again. Please spare me from the trouble!'
In any case, she had to ask. "What's the matter?" While putting a brave front, she managed to pull out a calm tone in asking a question.
"There's a commotion going on at the feeding area!" She reported.
Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!
The courage she was building up had crumbled in an instant upon hearing it.
Her chest had begun to make noises as nervousness invaded her mind.
It was the most she feared-- that the soldiers would lose their minds and start attacking each other because of hunger.
Hunger was like a phantom that drove people crazy.
She bit her lips and stood in haste. "How about the captains?" She asked while increasing the speed of her steps towards the feeding area. "Did they help to stop the commotion?" She added.
But Yun remained silent and Kanna did not even notice it as her mind was full of worries.
When they neared the area, Kanna could already hear the noise coming from there. She clenched her fists and quickened her steps. "Tsk! These idiots!" She grunted.
Yun was following closely behind her, trying to match her speed. When they arrived at the place, Kanna was stunned.
People were gathering near the center.
"Hey!"
"What are you guys doing?! Who was the instigator of this commotion?!" She asked directly, in a loud voice.
She could not even see what was in the center because of the surrounding crowd.
Upon hearing her, the noise had gradually diminished.
They looked behind and saw their acting commander with her knitted brows.
The surrounding people deliberately opened a path for her to pass through.
Kanna stepped forward with a furious face. But when she arrived in the middle, "What!?" She was stupefied.
In front of her, was a mountain of bodies. They were the bodies of wild Deer, wild boar, and even wild goose! These animals were known for being ferocious. They were unlike the original. They have a striking color of glossy purple. Their eyes were yellowish in the daytime but they turned fiery red at night time. Especially when the moon was brightly shining.
And they were notable for being hostile towards other creatures, especially those who trespassed their territory. They would never think twice to attack them.
One of the most notable things about them was their strength. They were so powerful that even the soldiers in the empire would rather avoid encountering them.
Another notable thing about them was that their meat tasted very delicious and top-notch in terms of quality. Rated highly in along with other high-tier meat of other rare animals.
Regardless, how were these animals here? If she made an estimation, there were around 20 of them!
Kanna was staring with a wide mouth open and at a loss for words.
Just then, she heard footsteps coming from the other side of the mountain of bodies of the animals.
When she saw the owner of those steps, the time seemed to stop at Kanna. "C-Commander…?" She called out with teary eyes.
Yeah, the person was no other than their young commander.
Eman smiled and nodded. "Sorry, I came back late. Actually, I lost my way back here. Hehe," he said while rubbing his nose.
She wanted to ask him many things, but at the moment, a deep emotion welled up from within, causing her body to act on its own.
She dove into his chest!
The surrounding people gawked and thought the commander was a lucky bastard! After all, Miss Kanna wasn't only a pretty woman, she was exuding a womanly charm that could seduce even a blind person.
Eman wasn't able to react as well as he was so tired. He had been hunting these monsters nonstop for several days. Though, his effort paid off. He leveled up a few times. He also received several rewards from the system.
He had no idea what happened to these soldiers, and why Kanna suddenly jumped into his chest, sobbing.
It was an awkward situation for him. He had no idea what to say and what to do in this kind of situation. Perhaps it was better to let her be for a while until she stopped.
Looking at the people around him, he noticed their faces were full of relief. He understood what was happening, and the reason for their relief. It was also one of the reasons that he left the village to hunt these beasts.
Though he wasn't joking when he said he lost his way towards the village.
Nonetheless, even without him hunting these animals. They shouldn't have a shortage of food supplies. They could hunt the hostile beast around the road towards the nearest town from here.
Kanna was flustered after noticing her action.
She regretted that she acted out of emotion. Now, it was awkward for her. Wait, she needed to think. What would she say? Right! The commander said he lost his way towards here.
"Commander, it's unfair that you left for a couple of days. Leaving me with all the work! You have no idea how hard it was for me to maintain order to all these idiots!" Kanna sounded angry. But, deep inside she wasn't, she just wanted to divert her embarrassment from her actions.
The surrounding soldiers wanted to object to her claims, but they remained silent when they noticed Kanna's angry face.
"Well, I said already. I lost my way," Eman replied with a 'can't be helped' expression on his face. He shrugged his shoulders.
Kanna pouted while blushing. She glanced behind her and saw Yun giving her a thumbs up.
"By the way, will it suffice for the needs?" He asked as he pointed at the bodies of the beasts with his mouth.
"I think….. it will…" though she wasn't sure yet.
Oooooohhh!
Commander! Commander! Commander!
The soldiers repeatedly shouted his name after hearing him. Now, their worries have abated.
They came back to the temporary office and Kanna along with Yun was giving a summary of what happened in his absence.
"I see. Well, why did no one suggest hunting the hostile beast on the main road towards the Mining Town?" He asked.
After asking it, he noticed Yun and Kanna showed stunned faces.
"Why?"
He asked.
"C-Commander, that place was heavily guarded by a high rank one-eyed furry beast!" Kanna was the one who replied.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
