Mr. Albert…”

Looking at Albert's appearance, Su Cheng also felt like a big stone was blocked in his chest...

Albert and him have always had a good relationship. Looking at Albert's half-dead appearance, Su Cheng couldn't help feeling his nose slightly sore.

"Alisa...Su Cheng..." A hoarse voice came from Albert's lips.

Then—

"Su Cheng, I'm sorry..."

Albert looked sad and buried his head low.

“We did something…irreversible…”

Su Cheng looked at Albert in confusion.

"Mr. Albert, why do you apologize to me?"

"You and Mr. Issel defended the Rhineland Plain to the death and did not allow the Frankish army to completely wipe out your army. This is a great achievement!"

"If you and Mr. Issel did not defend the main Rhineland Plain, then we would not have the advantage that the total strength of the two armies exceeded that of the Franks!"

"Victory and defeat are common on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that he can definitely win every war."

"And in the First Rhineland Battle, the Franks used tactics too cunning."

"Even if I was to command the first battle of Rhineland, I could not do better than you and Mr. Issel."

"So--Mr. Albert, don't feel guilty."

"As long as you have excellent performance in the next final battle against the Franks, your achievements can be offset by your previous mistakes!"

Su Cheng mistakenly thought that what Albert referred to was an "irreversible thing" refers to the fact that he and Issel lost to the Frank army in the first Rhineland Battle.

However—After Su Cheng spoke out to comfort Albert, the expression in Albert's eyes became even more dimmed.

"What I meant to be irreversible is not this..."

"When we were heavily besieged by the Franks, the remaining food our army had only been enough for us to use for one month..."

"After exhausting supplies, in order to survive, we ate everything we could eat..."

"War horses, leather, forage, bark..."

"But our army has nearly 150,000 people, so how can we eat these things for a long time..."

"About 2 months ago, we ate all the things in the army that can serve as food..."

"After all the food in the army was completely eaten, we had to take the final measures under Issel's order..."

"The final method? What is that..."

Su Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

He suddenly realized what Albert called the "final method"...

After a while, he looked at Albert with an incredible look.

"Do you say... meat..."

Albert nodded.

The head, which had been buried very low, was buried lower.

Alisa, who was beside her, her face turned pale in an instant.

Alan was also full of horror and horror.

"If we don't do that, we will not have the strength to hold on until you arrive..." Albert continued to whisper.

Su Cheng took a deep breath.

It took him a while before he suppressed his emotions.

He turned his head and shouted at the Delan Immortals standing not far behind him:

"Listen to the Undead Squad! All members stay here! Don't follow me into the camp later!"

"Yes!!" The undead squad shouted neatly.

"Alan." After giving orders to Delan's undead team, Su Cheng looked at Alan beside him, "You go to the supply convoy behind and tell them: do not enter the camp for carts loading meat, only let the carts loading vegetarians enter the camp."

"Um……"

When Su Cheng watched Alan return to the horse's back and rushed to the supply convoy behind, Alisa said to Albert in a trembling voice:

"Mr. Albert, how is my father doing...?"

"Isel is still alive, but...he is quite haggard now..."

"In order to let the soldiers eat meat, Issel took the lead in eating it first. Issel has always felt very guilty and ashamed of doing such a thing, so he has been depressed and his body has become weaker and weaker. His body is now so weak that he has no strength to stand up..."

Albert's words made Su Cheng feel sad and made Alyssa's eyes redder.

"I won't say it, let's go to the camp to see Mr. Issel, and let's talk about the rest slowly..."

"Well..." Albert nodded.

Only Su Cheng and Alisa were the ones who followed Albert into the camp.

Su Cheng has seen the tragic and bloody scene countless times.

But when I saw the scene in the remnant barracks of Issel and Albert, I couldn't help but feel a slump in my heart.

There was not much bloody or uncomfortable scene in the camp, but there was a heavy atmosphere that was unsweet enough to breathe.

Along the way, all the soldiers Su Cheng saw were gray-faced and his eyes were dull.

"Those meat... are private corpses, and no living person."

Albert added.

"This is the last bottom line for us...as human beings..."

...

...

When Su Cheng and Alisha met Issel, he was lying motionless on the bed in the tent with his eyes closed.

Like Albert, Issel was so thin that he was completely exhausted. At first glance, he looked like a mummy.

It is no longer obvious that he is as energetic as the only integrated knight in the Britannian Empire.

"Father!"

Alisa finally couldn't help but shed tears while pounced on Issel's bedside.

After hearing Alyssa's voice, Issel slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Alyssa with tears on the edge of the bed, then looking at Su Cheng with a heavy face, Issel's eyes shone with a glimmer.

"dad……"

Now it's private, Su Cheng no longer needs to use any respect to Issel.

Obviously, on the way to Issel Camp, Su Cheng thought of all kinds of things he wanted to say to Issel.

But after walking to Issel's bed and seeing Issel's appearance, Su Cheng felt like he was stuck in his throat and could not say anything. In the end, he only called out "Dad".

Issel's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in a flash, the look in Issel's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he closed his lips that had just opened again.

His eyes returned to the dull and dull appearance he had just now.

"I'm sorry...Alisa...Su Cheng..."

After seeing his long-lost daughter and son-in-law, Issel's first words were to apologize.

"I did this kind of sinful and straightforward thing that even historians in later generations didn't know how to record... I'm such a bad father..."
