Final Lord

Chapter 83 Broken Flag
“We are protecting the people…”

General Ed murmured this sentence repeatedly, and his soul fire suddenly fluctuated violently, fiercely fighting against the demonic energy that continued to overflow from his body!
Around Ed, the shadows of ice barrier warriors gradually emerged.

"General, we didn't lose."

"We've never even met the damn Second Prince, so how can we possibly fight for him?"

"I'm dead, but my parents back home are alive. That's a win."

More and more phantoms formed around Ed, and gradually, countless points of light surrounded General Ed. The hideous demonic marks on General Ed's armor were slowly repaired by the light points.

General Ed staggered to the edge of the city wall and gently stroked the tender carvings on the bricks. Those were the crooked universal characters "Thank you, Uncle Ice Armor" carved by a child.

"It turns out... the answer has been right under our feet."

Ed lowered his finger, and the only remaining trace of demonization on his body disappeared.

When Ed turned to look at Wang Bufu, more than forty years of wind and snow surged in his icy pupils: "Young man, you are right. Our persistence is not meaningless.

The people are not wrong, and neither are we. The only one who is wrong is the Eagle King."

As Ed returned to normal, the illusions around him finally stopped being chaotic and gradually returned to the appearance of the Ice Barrier Legion resisting the Chaos Monsters.

Ed suddenly raised his head, looked at the sky and said, "Young man, when you saw me, you told me that our Ice Barrier Group had been destroyed.

Actually, what you said is not correct.

Do you see the soldiers around here? They all live in my memory. As long as I'm alive, the Ice Barrier will never be destroyed."

"And I can do this all because of it." Ed said, flipping his hand, and a tattered battle flag suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Divine Grace Building, Heroic Spirit Flag. This is our Ice Barrier Group's trump card.

When the demonic tide overwhelmed our castle, it was the Heroic Banner that protected our souls and transported us to this world, allowing me to survive to this day. Unfortunately, it's damaged, having lost much of its power. If you can repair it, it will return to its former glory.

If you promise me one thing, I will give it to you."

Wang Bufu asked in surprise, "You're handing over the flag to me? What are you going to do then?"

"Heh." Ed smiled. "Over forty years have passed, and I'm a completely different person. I've become a legend now, and I no longer need this banner."

"What mission?"

"If the Second Prince is still alive, then kill him! If he is already dead, then cleanse his bloodline of all sins."

Ed said coldly, "The blood of countless people in our Eagle Beak Nation must not be shed in vain."

Regicide... Is this such an exciting task right from the start?

The king asked doubtfully, "You are so powerful, why don't you complete this mission yourself? With your strength, you can surely turn the Eagle Kingdom upside down."

Ed looked around, his eyes filled with sighs and regrets:
"But I have also lost my human body. Now I have become one with this world, a being similar to the spirit of the world.

This world sustains me, and I protect its inhabitants from the invasion of chaos. There's no way for me to leave this world. Therefore, I can only entrust this task to you.

I don't mean to ask you to complete this task right now. I will give you the broken flag in advance. When you are stronger, you can complete my request."

"I see... So your current state is that of the Earth God of this world?"

"What does the Earth God mean?"

"nothing."

Wang Bufu thought for a moment, pushed the broken flag from Ed's hand, and said seriously:

"I can't avenge you. The Eagle Kingdom is filled with experts, and this mission is too risky. But I sympathize with your plight, and I deeply detest the treacherous Eagle King.

So I want to work with you in another way."

Ed asked confusedly, "What method?"

"I will periodically bring human troops to this world, and you will train them into professions in the Ice Barrier Path.

Your disciples will avenge you. This tattered flag will serve as my payment for introducing you to a new student."

"Introduce the students..." Ed fell into deep thought, obviously hesitant.

The king was unwilling to give in and struck while the iron was hot: "The Ice Barrier Legion should be the one to avenge its vengeance. The gates of Eagle King City are decorated with the conquests of successive Eagle Kings. It's magnificent and majestic. But I think it's still missing a piece of art made of ice. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Ed finally made up his mind. He pressed the broken flag into Wang Bufu's hands. "It's yours."

Good! Wang Bufu was delighted. General Ed was truly understanding.

Ceremony of Heroes:

When the people of the territory pay homage to the broken flag, they gain 2 points of temporary morale. The temporary morale lasts for two days. This skill consumes 100 points of fire energy.

Awesome. Looking at the tattered flag in his hand, Wang Bufu held back his laughter for a long time. With a flip of his hand, he placed the tattered flag into the fire.

[Waiting for placement...Please place the broken flag in your territory as soon as possible, otherwise the building will be permanently damaged.]

Seeing Wang Bufu put away the fire, Ed stroked his beard, smiled and said, "Okay, now let me talk about the students. Young man, how many humans are there in your territory now? How many can you give us?"

Wang's unconvinced smile suddenly froze. "That question... is a little difficult to answer."

General Ed: ???
You don't want to get it for free, do you?
……

Gru Territory, Lord's basement.

The damp air was filled with the smell of rotting flesh, and the green glow of the torch made Lincoln's profile look like a skeleton.

He leaned back on a seat made of raven bones, his fingertips stroking the raven skull hanging from his collarbone.

After three days, under tremendous pressure, the crows finally reaped the rewards.

After several investigations, they caught a villager who claimed to have seen the lord's carriage.

Hurrah!

A villager was grabbed by a flock of crows and brought to Lincoln, his shoulder blades cracking under the weight.

The crows ignored the villager's painful expression and threw him to the ground with force.

An exceptionally large crow perched on the ceiling light in the basement, its dark red beak dripping with mucus, which had corroded the ground in front of the villagers into honeycomb-like holes.
