Chapter 139: The Bottom Line for Orcs

After Samuel left the royal city with Charles, Queen Olivia united some nobles in the royal city to build a relief point for Luna, one inside and one outside the city, but these two places only distributed bread to cubs under the age of seven.

When Luna first heard about this, she thought it was incredible, although she had never seen anyone who was really hungry and crazy, but countless movies had told her that cannibalism was not impossible.

But when she followed Olivia up the high walls of the royal city and looked down, she was stunned by the scene outside the city.

Although the exact number of displaced people gathered outside the royal city is unknown, it is far more than she imagined.

The little orcs, either beast-like or human-form, lined up in an orderly long line under the guidance of the servants sent by the nobles.

What is unbelievable is that after the cubs took their rations, none of the adult orcs in ragged clothes who watched from a short distance would snatch the bread that the cubs had received.

The females who followed their cubs not far away knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of the city gate after seeing that their cubs had actually received bread.

This is not the etiquette of the Snow Wolf Country, but almost every female who has cubs among the homeless people will be like this, one or two may not be obvious, but what about hundreds or thousands?

"Aren't they hungry?" Luna asked, snorting as she looked up at the adult orcs who were watching their cubs gobble up.

"Hungry, but they have the ability to find food on their own. Snatching the food of the cubs will only be attacked by the group. Rubbing her daughter's head, Olivia explained.

It was only at this moment that Luna finally understood why there were so many orphans who were put into the royal city.

Compared with the order outside the city, the place where bread is distributed inside the city is not peaceful.

The little orcs who had no adult orcs to take care of each other's food kept happening, and in the end, they were still worried about Granny Darla, and Anthony, who had followed her, couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to call the guards in the city to help, which frightened the little orcs and made the order better.

Until she returned to the castle, Luna's mind was still uneasy, both for what she saw today and for the orcs who had always maintained their bottom line.

"Father, may I come in?"

Silas' study door was arched open, and Luna's little head poked out of the crack.

"Come here. Silas, who was preoccupied with papers, looked up and beckoned to Luna.

Luna slipped through the crack in the door and slammed the open door shut before running to Silas's side, looking up at her father.

"Have you seen it with your mother on the ramparts? is it the same as you think?" asked Celes, tucking the pen back into the inkwell.

"It's not the same. Luna shook her head and recounted what she had seen today.

Listening to Luna's praise for the outcasts, Silas couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In fact, cubs are given priority, no matter where they are, it is customary, and even the laws of various countries are almost willing to match the crimes against cubs with the most severe punishment.

The more cubs survive, the more a country, a race, and a family will have a future to speak of, and even in the event of a disaster, the gathered orcs will give priority to feeding the cubs to eat, and take care of the cubs regardless of each other.

This is why although the royal city does not allow the homeless to enter, it has released the orphans who have no one to take care of the homeless.

It's just that Silas didn't expect that such a trivial matter, in the eyes of her daughter, could be said so noble by her little mouth.

"Now, my father thinks they're great, doesn't he? Is there any way you can help them? Even if it's to let them work like servants and give them some food as a reward!"

Looking at Silas, who was always smiling, Luna tried to say.

Before, she only knew that there were many little orcs who had been released into the city, but today she realized that there were so many homeless people outside.

To be honest, if there was no matter for the cubs to receive food, in fact, she looked at the large number of displaced people in the black pressure and her liver trembled, but it was precisely because of this incident that she wanted to help these displaced people more and more.

Moreover, there were so many of them that she couldn't imagine how the wallless villages around the royal city would resist the hungry and cold homeless people in winter.

She was not naïve enough to think that the homeless people would not rob the cubs of their food, and they would not rob the villagers of their food.

"Oh, what does Luna think they can do?" The Central Empire is not well informed about when it will calm down, but in recent days, Silas has been worrying about how these homeless people will survive the winter.

A temporary disaster can drive away these displaced people who have crossed the border, even if it is just the guards of the royal city, it is enough.

But the problem is that, looking at the recent reports from the border, even Silas can't be sure when these homeless people will be able to leave.

Now that winter is about to fall again, he has a terrible headache when he thinks that after the winter, because of hunger and cold, the robbery and killing caused by the homeless people in a small area will spread, even in pieces.

Giving these people some work in exchange for food and clothing, Silas didn't think about it, but although he is a king, he can give an order, but he also needs the cooperation of the lords everywhere.

If only the surrounding areas of the royal city had done this, it was foreseeable that more homeless people would have gathered quickly in order to exchange their labor for food.

Although the royal city is a place where nobles gather, there are also many manors around it, but the places that may temporarily settle these displaced people are also extremely limited, and it can absorb one or two hundred thousand people, but what about more?

What about those who come to hear the news, but in the end they don't get the job they want, and still face freezing and starvation?

Just as Luna told the absent-minded Silas about her idea of building a city wall and letting the rogue orcs help the nobles repair the manor and the other thing mixed with the daily work of some of the servants, the door to the study was opened again, and Gotte walked in with a large roll of paper.

"Little Luna is there too?"

"Teacher. Luna stood up from behind her desk, grabbed the table, and greeted Gotte.

"This little guy is also talking about giving some work to the homeless, and he really wants to go with you. Silas smiled wryly and rubbed his eyebrows, and said to Goat.

"That's what I'm here for. What do you think of this?" said Gotte, striding over to Silas's desk, placing the scroll of paper in his arms on the desk and spreading it out, leaning over and rubbing Luna's head.

"Oh~" Looking at the map spread out on the desk, although most of the place names marked on it Luna still don't recognize, you can also see some mountains and rivers, and some strange stones that act as landmarks, trees, and even flowers and insects in some places.

At the top of the map is a large area that has been deliberately painted with white paint.
