Poverty

Antonius' sailors dispersed scattering around finding clues regarding this case, while the rest assembled in teams with shovels and fire woods instructed by Antonius to ignite the corpses and bury them after taking out the only baby that has survived.

Antonius continued digging remaining silent. 

"Do not let such sights misguide your mind, you will see misdeeds and sins done by people far worse than this."
