Mr Albert... "

Looking at Albert, Su Cheng also felt that his chest was like a big stone

Albert and his friendship have always been good. Looking at Albert's half dead appearance, Su Cheng couldn't help feeling his nose sour.

"Eliza... Su Cheng..." his hoarse voice came from Albert's lips.

Then——

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

Albert looked sad and buried his head low.

"We did something... Irreparable..."

Su Cheng looked at Albert puzzled.

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

"It's a great achievement that you and Mr. Iser stick to the Rhineland plain and don't let the plan of the Frankish army completely annihilating your army succeed!"

"If you and Mr. Iser don't stick to the main Rhineland plain, we won't have the advantage that the total strength of the two armies exceeds that of the Frankish army!"

"Victory or defeat is a common thing on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that he will definitely win every war."

"And in the first Rhineland battle, the tactics used by the Frankish army were too cunning."

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

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

"As long as you have a good performance in the final battle against the Frankish army, your achievements can be offset by your previous mistakes!"

Su Cheng mistakenly thought that Albert meant "irreparable things" and that he and Iser lost to the Frankish army in the first Rhineland battle.

However - after Su Cheng comforted Albert, the look in Albert's eyes became darker.

"I don't mean this when I say something irreparable..."

"When we were besieged by the Frankish army, the food left by our army was only enough for us to use for one month..."

"After the supplies ran out, in order to survive, we ate everything we could..."

"War horse, leather, forage, bark..."

"But our army has nearly 150000 people, so how can we eat these things for a long time..."

"About two months ago, we ate up all the food in the army..."

"After all the edible things in the army were completely eaten up, we had to take the final means under Iser's order..."

"The ultimate means? What is that... "

Su Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

He suddenly realized what Albert called the "final means"

After a long pause, he stared at Albert with eyes mixed with unbelievable colors.

"Do you mean... Meat...?"

Albert nodded.

The head, which was already buried very low, was buried lower.

Eliza on one side turned pale in an instant.

And Alan was full of fear, full of fear.

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

Su Cheng took a deep breath.

After a long time, he restrained his emotions.

He turned his head and shouted to the German undead team standing not far behind him:

"The undead, listen! Everybody stay here! Don't follow me into the camp later! "

"Yes!!" The undead team shouted neatly.

"Alan." After giving orders to the German undead team, Su Cheng looked at Alan next to him, "go to the supply team in the rear and tell them: don't let the car loaded with meat into the camp, only let the car loaded with vegetarian food into the camp."

"Well..."

When Su Cheng saw Alan back on his horse and rushed to the rear supply team to give orders, Eliza said to Albert in a trembling voice:

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

"Ethel, he's still alive, but... He's quite haggard now..."

"In order to make the soldiers eat meat, Iser took the lead to eat it first. Iser has always felt very self reproach and shame for doing such a thing, so he has been depressed and his body is getting weaker and weaker. His body is so weak that he doesn't even have the strength to stand up..."

Albert's words made Su Cheng sad and made Eliza's eyes become more and more red.

"No, no, let's go to the camp and see Mr. Iser. We'll talk about the rest slowly..."

"Well..." Albert nodded.

Only Su Cheng and Eliza 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 camp of Ethel and Albert, I couldn't help but feel a heavy heart.

There were not many bloody and uncomfortable scenes in the camp, but there was a heavy atmosphere in the camp.

Along the way, all the soldiers Su Cheng saw were gray in face and dull in eyes.

"Those meat... Are private bodies, not a living person."

Albert added.

"This is our last bottom line as human beings..."

……

……

When Su Cheng and Eliza saw Ethel, he was lying motionless on the bed in the tent with his eyes closed.

Like Albert, Ethel was so thin that he looked like a mummy.

I can't see the high spirited appearance of being the only integrated knight in the British Empire.

"Father!"

Eliza finally couldn't restrain her emotions. She burst into tears and rushed to Ethel's bed.

Hearing Eliza's voice, Ethel slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Eliza with tearful eyes beside the bed and Su Cheng with a heavy face, Iser's eyes glow.

"Dad..."

Now it's private. Su Cheng doesn't need to use any honorific title to Iser anymore.

On the way to Iser camp, Su Cheng thought about all kinds of things he wanted to say to Iser.

But after walking to Iser's bed and seeing Iser's appearance, Su Cheng only felt stuck in his throat and couldn't say anything. At last, he only called out "Dad".

Iser's lips moved and seemed to want to say something, but in a flash, the look in Iser's eyes suddenly disappeared and closed his just opened lips again.

His eyes returned to their dim appearance just now.

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

After seeing his daughter and son-in-law whom he had not seen for a long time, Ethel's first sentence was an apology.

"I did this... Even future historians don't know how to record evil things... I'm really a bad father..."

"Father..." Eliza just held Ethel's hand and her face was already covered with tears. "What are you doing..."
