Legion's First Target [Bonus chapter]

The morning council proceeded without a hitch... until Alexander raised one new issue.

"It's been two weeks since we started giving out free food. And the news of it has likely reached the surrounding areas. What should we do?"

People from surrounding villages were bound to soon know that the plague had been dealt with, and food, the greatest commodity for them now, was being handed out for free.

This act of generosity was bound to attract a huge crowd and so Alexander was basically asking his council on how to deal with this impending refugee crisis.

"We should close the city gates," Heliptos, true to his nature, was the first to suggest to greedily hoard the food.

"These people belong to forces hostile to us. As such feeding them seems counterproductive." Melodias also expressed explicit support for this plan.

"I agree. Giving them anything will only be strengthening the enemy," The military man Menes saw was already viewing these men as potential enemy conscripts.
