Chapter 1,275: Sad Reunion (Part 1)

Mr. Albert…”

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

Albert had always had a good relationship with him. Seeing Albert's half-dead look, Su Cheng couldn't help feeling his nose was slightly sore.

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

Then——

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

Albert looked sad and lowered his head.

"We did something...irreversible..."

Su Cheng looked at Albert in confusion.

"Mr. Albert, why are you apologizing to me?"

"You and Mr. Iser defended the Rhineland Plain and did not let the Frank army succeed in their plan to annihilate your army. This is a great achievement!"

"If you and Mr. Iser had not defended the main Rhineland Plain, we would not have the advantageous situation where the total strength of the two armies exceeds that of the Frank Army!"

"Victory and defeat are common occurrences on the battlefield. No one can guarantee that they will win every war."

"And in the First Battle of the Rhineland, the tactics used by the Frankish army were too cunning."

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

"So—Mr. Albert, there is no need to feel guilty."

"As long as you perform well in the following final battle against the Franks, your achievements can completely offset your previous mistakes!"

Su Cheng mistakenly believed that the "irreversible thing" that Albert was referring to was the defeat of he and Iser to the Franks in the First Battle of the Rhineland.

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

"When I say irreversible things, I don't mean this..."

"While being heavily besieged by the Franks,

The food left in our army is only enough for us to use for one month..."

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

"War horses, leather, grass, bark..."

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

"About two months ago, we ate everything that could be used as food in the army..."

"After all the edible food in the army was completely eaten, under Iser's order we had to take the last resort..."

"The last resort? What is that..."

Su Cheng suddenly stopped talking.

He was suddenly shocked to realize what the "last resort" Albert mentioned was...

After being stunned for a while, he stared at Albert with eyes mixed with disbelief.

"Do you mean...meat...?"

Albert nodded.

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

Alyssa's face turned pale instantly.

And Alan's face was also full of horror and horror.

"If we don't do that, we won't have the strength to wait until you arrive anyway..." Albert then said softly.

Su Cheng took a deep breath.

After a while, he suppressed the emotions in his heart.

He turned his head and shouted to the Delan Undead Team standing not far behind him:

"Undead team, listen! Everyone stay here! You don't have to follow me into the camp later!"

"Yes!!" The undead team shouted in unison.

"Alan." After giving the order to the Delan Immortal Team, Su Cheng looked at Alan beside him, "Go to the supply convoy at the rear and tell them: Cars carrying meat are not allowed to enter the camp, only those carrying vegetarian food are allowed. The car enters the camp."

"Um……"

As Su Cheng watched Alan get back on the horse and rush to the rear supply convoy to deliver orders, Alyssa said to Albert in a trembling voice:

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

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

"In order to let the generals eat meat, Iser took the lead and ate it first. Iser has always felt very guilty and ashamed for doing such a thing, so he has been depressed and his body has become weaker and weaker because of it. He is now My body is so weak that I don’t even have the strength to stand up..."

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

"No more talk, no more talk, let's go see Mr. Iser at the camp first, and we'll talk about the rest slowly..."

"Well..." Albert nodded.

The only ones who followed Albert into the camp were Su Cheng and Alyssa.

Su Cheng had seen the tragic and bloody scenes countless times.

But when I saw the scene in the remnant camp of Iser and Albert, I couldn't help but feel my heart sinking.

There were not many bloody or uncomfortable scenes in the camp, but there was a heavy atmosphere that made people breathless.

Along the way, all the soldiers Su Cheng saw had gray faces and dull eyes.

"Those meats...are all private corpses, not a single living person."

Albert added.

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

…

…

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

Like Albert, Issel was so thin that he looked like a dried corpse.

He no longer looked like the high-spirited knight of the Britannia Empire.

"Father!"

Alyssa finally couldn't hold back her emotions and rushed to Issel's bed while crying.

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

Looking at Alyssa, who was crying beside the bed, and then at Su Cheng, who had a heavy face, Issel's eyes glowed with a glimmer of light.

"Dad..."

Now that they were in private, Su Cheng no longer needed to use any honorifics for Issel.

On the way to Issel's camp, Su Cheng had thought of all kinds of things he wanted to say to Issel.

But when he walked to Issel's bed and saw Issel's appearance, Su Cheng felt like something was stuck in his throat and couldn't 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 light in Issel's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he closed his lips again.

His eyes returned to the dull look just now.

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

After seeing his long-lost daughter and son-in-law, the first thing Issel said was an apology.

"I did this... a sin that even the historians of later generations don't know how to record... I'm such a bad father..."

"Father..." Alyssa just held Issel's hand, her face already covered with tears, "What are you doing..."
