Although Monarch Blizzardpaw had high strength as a Paragon-level Winter Cat, there were many things he couldn't resolve with strength alone.
Or rather, even with Paragon-level strength, it wasn't enough to solve his tribe's problems.
Leon realized that the toll on Monarch Blizzardpaw's mind had been much greater than he thought.
Monarch Blizzardpaw had to watch the young Winter Cats starved to death helplessly.
Furthermore, he still had to procure food after the sea monsters returned to the sea region when other adult Winter Cats were too weakened to hunt.
Monarch Blizzardpaw may have very well been the only Winter Cat capable of hunting during those trying times.
The amount of work that Monarch Blizzardpaw had to put in for the continuation of the Winter Cat Tribe during each of these food crises was unimaginable.
