Final Lord

Chapter 81 Eagle Beak Territory Tragedy

“Luke is the name of the captain in the pot.

He had overdrawn his magic power in the battle two days ago and had lost his ability to fight.

But he can still eat.

So he chose to sacrifice himself and let his comrades live.

There are many soldiers like him. It is only because we bear such heavy sins that we have been able to persevere in this desperate situation."

"No! Don't eat people, eat this. Catch it!" Wei Yi suddenly took out the dried meat from her arms and threw it to the soldier.

But her dried meat passed through the crowd and fell to the ground helplessly.

"It's useless." Ed said quietly, "You can't reach them."

Wang Bufei sighed.

In reality, cannibalism can lead to the spread of deadly diseases. Prions, for example, are directly linked to the consumption of human brain tissue. These diseases can spread rapidly within a population through cannibalism. Long-term cannibalism can also increase the risk of genetic mutations, threatening a population's ability to survive and reproduce.

But there is no such setting in the God's World. Theoretically, cannibalism is possible.

But that's just in theory.

Human society relies on cooperation and trust between individuals. Cannibalism destroys the bonds between members, igniting fear and chaos, leading to societal collapse. Most human cultures in the divinely-minded world view the human body as sacred or inviolable. Cannibalism is seen as an affront to the dignity of life and a fundamental violation of the very definition of "humanity."

Coupled with the fact that humans are naturally wired to have strong empathy for the pain and death of their own kind, this act of cannibalism, even if it is a helpless choice in desperate situations, will still cause strong moral controversy.

Even if Captain Luke sacrificed himself, not all soldiers would accept it. Take the young man just now. He was so impulsive he wanted to jump into the pot and die with his captain, but other soldiers around him held him down.

"Enough, stop looking." Wang Bufu covered Weiyi's eyes. The sentimental little girl had already cried red eyes.

He looked at General Ed, his throat moved, and said, "Let's go to the next place."

"The next place..." General Ed sighed. "This is the easiest place for you to accept. The rest will be even more difficult for you."

More miserable? How could it get any worse?
Wang Bufu suddenly had an idea. He realized something and asked in fear, "General, Eagle Beak Territory should be a very complete frontier territory. It can't be just soldiers.

You soldiers are here, but where are the people of Eagle Beak Territory?"

Ed closed his eyes in pain. "They are the first willing sacrifices. If the soldiers starve to death and the monsters break into the city, they won't survive. No, not just them, all the territories behind Eagle Beak Territory will suffer."

Oh my goodness! Weiyi's body trembled, and she couldn't help but ask, "General, you are already at the end of your rope, why doesn't anyone come to help you? You are soldiers of the Eagle Kingdom, where are the kingdom's supplies? Where is the logistics?"

"I want to ask this question, too." Ed's voice grew colder. "Our entire Ice Barrier Group and the tens of thousands of people in Eagle Beak Territory want to ask this question.

The demonic tide broke out, and we held out for a full sixty-nine days in this chaotic borderland, waiting every day for reinforcements from the Eagle Kingdom.

But until we were destroyed, no reinforcements arrived."

Ed looked at Wang unconvinced and asked, "Young man, you come from the future. You should know the answer."

Wang Bufu fell silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "Behind you is the territory of the Second Prince of the Eagle Kingdom.

Before the demonic tide erupted, the King of the Eagle Kingdom passed away. The Second Prince led his entire army to the Eagle Imperial City to fight for the throne. He took all the food and supplies with him.

Therefore, no one can support you."

"Is that so? Looks like we're just unlucky." Ed sighed. Wang Bufu walked to a corner of the warehouse and picked up a frosted diary. Written in it was the name: Quartermaster Locke.

The blood-stained ice pages flipped in the air, revealing Locke's diary.

"Aunt Linda donated six frozen oranges, Uncle Pido donated a bag of wheat straw, and Aunt Kelly donated a pound of frozen meat..."

Obviously, when Locke started writing this diary, the Ice Barrier Group had run out of food. In order to ensure that the Ice Barrier warriors had something to eat, the people in the city took out their stored food.

Wang Bufu also saw a line of childish handwriting in Luke's diary: "Uncle Ice Armor, I hid the bread I saved from breakfast under the third brick. Make sure you eat well! - Love you, Lily."

His hands trembled, and he felt reluctant to continue turning the pages. However, he still forced himself to turn the diary despite the discomfort.

Six consecutive pages of the diary stated that there were no donations today, and then the seventh page.

Locke's originally beautiful handwriting suddenly became distorted, and the tip of the pen even tore the diary, like a glaring scar.

"Uncle Pido, Uncle Kane, and Aunt Linda froze to death at the entrance of the granary. Ahhh! Damn reinforcements, why haven't they arrived yet!"

"Barrel Hank, Red-haired Maggie, Baker Tom, and Shepherd Jane froze to death at the entrance of the granary. I can't hold on any longer. Why am I the quartermaster? Damn it."

"Little Jimmy, Old Bones Joe, Dumb Billy..."

"Gardener Ida, tall Lola, cook Dolan..."

As food became increasingly scarce, more and more names appeared on each page. Wang Bufu's fingers trembled as he flipped through the pages.

Finally, Wang Bufu turned the page to read this diary that recorded the tragedy.

It wasn't that Locke finished writing, it was that he collapsed.

"No!! Lily! She's still so young! Didn't I tell her that reinforcements would be arriving soon? Why would she want to sacrifice herself with them?

No!!! Why wasn't I the one who died? Why wasn't I the one who died? Ahhhh!

I would rather die than live on Lily's flesh!

I want to go to the battlefield, I don't want to be a quartermaster anymore. If the general insists that I continue to be a quartermaster, then I will freeze to death with them!"

Wang Bufu sighed and closed the diary.

Although the diary was short, the information revealed between the lines still made Wang Bufu feel extremely uncomfortable. An unknown anger grew in his heart.

The Eagle Kingdom is so sorry for the soldiers and people of Eagle Beak Territory.

At this moment, Ed, who had been lost in thought, suddenly raised his head and asked, "By the way, young man from the future, when did our Majesty pass away?"

"June 8834th, 6 in the Divine Calendar."

Ed's brow furrowed. "How much?"

"June 6th. I won't get this date wrong. Because on July 16th, a little over a month later, the Second Eagle Prince defeated sixteen rivals in a single day to seize the throne.

His battle for the throne was brilliantly fought, and I've studied it several times."
