551.Chapter 551
The doctor said, “Five young men have severed limbs, ruptured diaphragms, and severe injuries. They were tortured mercilessly. Additionally, two bodies were found on the bed, both tortured to death. Judging by the signs, the culprits seem to be led by County Magistrate Felix and his men.”
These beasts are worse than animals.
After the doctor’s words, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly heavy.
Nolan and even the Black Flag soldiers behind him looked extremely grim.
They had come for disaster relief, but before they could even start, they were confronted with this horrifying massacre, right in the heart of the county magistrate’s office.
Nolan clenched the hilt of his sword and, with a voice as dark as the abyss, gave his orders, “Cut off Felix and his men’s limbs, remove their organs, turn them into human jerky, and throw them into the dungeon. Only keep them alive. After the disaster is over, they will be sent back to Hasen City.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
At Nolan’s command, the Black Flag Army’s voices rose in unison as they turned and left to carry out the brutal orders.
Inside the room, Eliza was tending to the wounds of the young girls.
While the female doctor went outside to report to Nolan, Eliza gave each of the girls a special healing medicine she had brought with her.
The herbs in the medicine were grown in her pocket farm, infused with spiritual energy. After taking them, at least they would be safe from immediate danger, and their wounds would heal quickly.
However, while their physical wounds could heal, the emotional scars they carried would be much harder to treat.
Eliza looked at the girls‘ empty eyes, seeing the despair and pain in them. She opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say…
Since Eliza and the others entered the office, the girls hadn’t spoken a word. No matter what was done for them, they seemed resigned to their fate, as if they had already accepted their horrible destiny.
Eliza bit her lip, leaving a small spider next to each girl. The spiders wouldn’t scare them, but they could keep an eye on their condition
After finishing everything, she stepped out of the room.
Outside, snow was falling heavily, as if the sky had tipped over a bag of cotton, the snowflakes endlessly cascading down. The people standing outside were soon covered in snow.
Despite this, Eliza immediately spotted Nolan, standing not far away.
After handling Jefferson and his men, Nolan had begun organizing the Black Flag Army to plan the disaster relief for Saint Snow City.
They would stay the night in Saint Snow City. After days of travel with little rest, the army needed to recuperate. The real battle would begin tomorrow when they reached Centrina City.
Saint Snow City was the second–largest city after Centrina, and its citizens were also in need of help.
It was already evening, and it would only get colder after nightfall. If they didn’t want to see more people freezing to death, they had to distribute food and warmth before nightfall.
Soon, Nolan’s Black Flag Army began splitting up, notifying the citizens of Saint Snow City.
“The county office has opened the granaries for disaster relief. All citizens can immediately go to the county office to queue for food and warming supplies such as clothing, charcoal, and firewood.”
The Black Flag Army’s announcement spread quickly through the streets.
Meanwhile, in the east street, the wind howled, carrying with it the fierce snow, roaring like a thousand arrows shooti through the alleys. Snow piled up on rooftops, the beams creaking under the weight as if they could collapse at any
moment.
In one of the dimly lit rooms by the street, more than a dozen men, women, and children huddled together, rubbing their hands and breathing into them, trying to catch a birol

ough, relentless.
“Me too, I don’t want to die…”
