Food and Route
Alexander was not aware of the salt inside some of the leader's hearts, not that he would have cared anyway even if he knew.
He had somewhat predicted this, but he had already eaten it, and there was no way he was gonna spit it out.
So, what if some of them were a bit sour in heart?
What could the leaders realistically do to him anyway?
Nothing!
Done with delivering the unpleasant report, Alexander felt he should give some good news as he then shuffled some parchment over and commented, "On a cheerier note, our food situation seems to have improved. It's now quite good."
"Hmm, let's see," Alexander confirmed the numbers on the parchment and said, "We have managed to collect about four hundred tons of horse meat from roughly two thousand dead horses. That should be enough to last four-five weeks."
