Final Lord

Chapter 80 The end of the road
All the prisms exploded at the same time, and the flying ice crystals condensed into thousands of ice barrier giant clones in the magic tide.

These five-meter-tall ice warriors, wielding massive axes and warhammers, smashed monsters into the frozen ground like whack-a-mole. The most outrageous display was an ice giant clone resembling General Ed, who even grabbed a two-headed chimera's tail and used it as a meteor hammer, wielding it to the point of scattering flowers across an entire fleet of frozen soul birds.

"Meow!" Jin Shanshan's tail bristled with excitement. "Is this the intensity of battles in Shen Gu's world? It's much higher than ours."

"It's truly spectacular..." Weiyi shuddered. "Even when my teacher demonstrated swordsmanship to me, I never felt this trembling. Man, I'm getting goosebumps."

"This is the power of the Legion." Wang Bufu said with a smile:

"A powerful Transcendent Legion is definitely more powerful than an Epic. If the legion has enough members, it can unleash legendary power. Cultivating a powerful Transcendent Legion is much easier than cultivating a Legend."

When the last hellhound was frozen into a comical ice sculpture, General Ed suddenly pointed his sword toward the sky. The surviving ice barrier soldiers roared in unison, their weapons simultaneously firing icy blue beams that converged in the clouds into a kilometer-wide vortex of ice crystals.

"Ice Dome Judgment!"

Tens of thousands of icy meteorites rained down from the vortex, each one exploding into six-sided ice flowers upon landing. The remaining demonic forces were annihilated in this magnificent sea of ​​crystalline flowers, even their screams frozen in the blooming ice petals.

Wang Bufu noticed that an ice meteorite just happened to smash the Shadow Demon Lord who was trying to escape into the ice throne. The guy's terrified expression was permanently frozen into an ice sculpture art.

"Retreat!" The moment the old general sheathed his sword, all the ice barrier soldiers shook their bodies simultaneously, shaking off the ice chips on their bodies. The icicles on the city wall automatically repaired themselves as if they were new.

Wang Bufu observed carefully and found that on a certain section of the city wall there was even a row of ice sculptures of monsters in surrender poses frozen in place, which the soldiers had arranged in a humorous way to form a welcoming posture.

Wang Bufu smiled slightly. This is a good way to boost morale. I learned it.

"Strong! Too strong." Tina landed beside Wang Bufu and grabbed his clothes in fear. "Master, is this a true legion war?"

"Not all legion battles are like this. The Ice Barrier Corps' entire team practices both magic and martial arts, so the battles are quite spectacular. That final blow, like the ice giant's attack, was also a legendary spell that relied on the coordination of the extraordinary legions."

Blind Cat tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Lord, how did such a powerful ice barrier group fall? How powerful a monster would it take to kill them?"

"Let me tell you about this question."

At this moment, Ed walked down from the city wall with his sword.

The cold wind blew his beard, leaving frost on his face.

"General Ed?"

"We don't have much time. Follow me." Ed nodded to Wang Bufu and said, "Ten thousand words are not as good as seeing it with your own eyes."

Ed walked forward, Wang Bufu looked at everyone and immediately followed him.

Wang Bufu didn't expect that Ed would bring them to the granary in the deepest part of the fortress.

The granary had long since turned into an ice cave, and there was no food inside.

Wei Yi watched as several soldiers scraped frost from the stone walls with thin shards of ice. Their tongues, cut by the ice, bled and crystallized in the cold wind. At their feet lay piled the shards of boiled armor—the leather lining had long been gnawed away.

"The Eagle Beak Territory's food and water reserves were completely depleted a month ago," General Ed sighed. "Why don't you melt the snow for water? There's ice and snow everywhere, so there shouldn't be a shortage of water," Wei Yi couldn't help but ask.

"We need to save our magic power for the defensive array." Ed pointed to the shimmering hexagram barrier outside the window, where the monsters' acid bombs were corroding holes in it. "The monsters' attacks are endless, but the fire in the castle has limited energy.

We can't maintain a spell as powerful as the one we just cast. Our mana can't keep up. Each person can only drink 300 milliliters of snow water per day. This is the minimum requirement for maintaining the barrier."

Wang Bubu:...

300 ml. In reality, a bottle of mineral water is 550 ml.

A supernatural army that can control ice and snow can only drink this little water per person per day. It's outrageous.

At that moment, a young soldier suddenly threw open the granary door, the ice armor fragments in his arms clinking. With a flushed face, he said to another higher-ranking soldier, "Captain! Edible red frost has grown on the west ice wall!"

Wang Bufu noticed that the child had an ice arrow on his waist. The same arrow was stuck in the middle of the snow mountain forty years later.

"You guys ate red frost?!" The captain's face darkened.

Luke shook his head. "Not yet, Captain. But the chef said the red frost is edible."

"Red frost is a secretion from demons. Eating too much will lead to demonization." The captain's voice was like a rusty hinge. "Take three teams to purify it."

"But everyone hasn't eaten in a week. Even if they transform, it won't happen overnight... This way, you don't have to..." Luke's protest was cut off by the captain's gaze. The boy turned around, touched his stomach, and walked away sobbing.

Ed said with a dark look in his eyes, "They were so hungry that they even ate all the snow rats in the granary. Some of the leather linings in the armor were eaten clean."

"Then what do they eat?" Wang Bufu knew the answer as soon as he asked.

The captain who had stopped the boy from eating the red frost suddenly stood up, took off his armor, and neatly placed it aside. He lay quietly on the ground, the frost slowly covering his bony body, and gradually, he stopped breathing.

"What is this?" Wei Yi tilted her head in confusion.

At that moment, the granary door opened again. A group of Ice Barrier soldiers walked in, tears in their eyes. The young master was among them.

They fell to their knees in front of the captain, hugging his body and crying bitterly.

"Hurry! We don't have much time. The demonic tide is coming again. Don't let the captain's sacrifice be in vain." One soldier put down the huge pot on his back, lifted the captain up, and placed him in the pot. Another soldier, with tears in his eyes, melted the ice and poured the water into the pot.

The pot is covered and the flame is lit.

Wei Yi covered her mouth in horror, feeling a surge of acid in her stomach.

"Oh my God! What are they doing?"

"Yes, that's what you think." Ed's voice was like an icy spike piercing the city wall: "Everything edible has been eaten. Only people are left. Only their comrades are left."
