Chapter 1189 The End of the Journey

Budapest was already in chaos. Fortunately, most of the legion's troops had left the empty Budapest, otherwise it would have been even more chaotic.

However, the auxiliary soldiers and civilians in the city did not have the discipline of the regular army. In addition, time was in a hurry, so a large amount of supplies and prisoners were abandoned in the city.

The chaos in the city also disturbed the prisoners in the prison. They didn't know why the Austrians suddenly began to retreat, but they would never believe that Kossuth sent people to rescue them.

However, panic was contagious. The unattended prisoners began to riot. These temporary prisons were obviously not very strong and were soon knocked open by the prisoners with brute force.

The prisoners who regained their freedom looked at the messy city and were a little overwhelmed. They only knew one thing: they were free and had hope of life.

The prisoners immediately began to scramble for the supplies left by the Austrians. Several of the strongest prisoners rushed to the supplies first, trying to take the spoils for themselves.

However, the other prisoners were not to be outdone, and they all rushed to the supplies. Soon, several groups of people started a big melee.

Fists, feet, teeth, sticks, glass, and stones all became weapons. The battle continued to escalate. Finally, someone found a saber and a musket, and the intensity of the battle reached a new level.

Thor had no interest in those supplies, and he didn't care why the Austrians escaped. He just wanted to find the conscription officer who brought him to this hell.

Of the children who came to Budapest from the village of Kanos, only Thor was still alive. Angela might be alive or dead.

After all, if this place is hell for men, then it is purgatory for women.

Suddenly the ground began to tremble, and there was a rumbling sound in the distance, but the sound was boundless and felt even bigger than the Austrians' steam tanks.

Thor didn't care at all. He just wanted to find the conscription officer and end it all with his own hands.

Thor picked up a knife from the ground. He knew where the conscription officer was hiding. He did not find the conscription officer among the prisoners, so he was sure that the guy must still be hiding in the hiding place.

Thor dug through a pile of rubble, found the pull ring and lifted the heavy wooden board. There was a dark cellar underneath. He jumped in without hesitation. He could already imagine the conscription officer's surprised expression and the ugly appearance of kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.

However, when Thor lit the oil lamp, he found that the entire cellar was empty and the conscription officer had disappeared.

"Fuck!"

Thor repeated repeatedly. The biggest motivation to support his survival was to seek revenge on the conscription officer, but the enemy was missing. Budapest was so big and chaotic that it was almost impossible to find someone.

The ground was shaking more and more violently, and Thor could already hear the sound of water. As a Hungarian, how could he not know what this was?

Ice flood!

The sound of the water flow became louder and louder, so that the scramble and fight in the city stopped, and fear quickly spread among the crowd.

Finally, someone put down the supplies he had grabbed and began to run wildly without caring about his life. Others made the same choice. For a while, the city was in chaos, and the captives trampled on each other, and countless people were killed and injured.

On the other side, the surging water level pushed the huge ice, and the already riddled city walls were squeezed and crushed like tofu.

Wherever the ice flood passed, whether it was houses or trees, they were all swept forward. Those who did not have time to escape were swallowed up by this unstoppable torrent in an instant.

Some people tried to hide in high places to avoid the ice flood, but under the impact of the ice flood, the houses collapsed one after another, the wooden beams were easily broken, and the bricks and tiles were broken, making people feel like they were in the end of the world.

Desperate roars, helpless crying, and futile struggles, humans seem so fragile and insignificant in the face of the great power of nature.

But is this really the will of nature?

No! This is a man-made disaster! Everyone knows it! Everyone knew that this was a conspiracy, and even the entire Budapest was abandoned!

"Kossuth, you are so cruel!"

"So cruel! Interesting!"

On the high ground outside the city, Heinau did not feel relieved after surviving the disaster, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

To be honest, with all-round crushing of equipment, troop quality, troop quantity, supplies, and strategy, there was not much room for him to play.

Those so-called elite soldiers and generals of the Hungarians were not good enough, but Heinau finally felt a sense of crisis at this time.

This was a fight between the two sides, not a one-sided massacre. In addition to madmen like Heinau, other commanders of the Austrian army also played up their spirits.

Looking at the flood that was devouring the city without hindrance, if this was when the Austrian army was attacking the city, or the army was not stationed outside the city, or if there was no warning in advance, what a miserable situation it would be?

Budapest had long been beaten to a wasteland, and there were countless rats left in the ruins. In any case, it was impossible for the army to enter the city and station.

Therefore, the winter storm could only delay the Austrian army's attack at most, but this alone was enough to amaze people. After all, in the eyes of most people with military knowledge, Hungary was already in a dead end at this time.

In the basement, with the vibration before the winter storm arrived, the shelves that were not very solid collapsed and revealed the hidden door behind them.

Thor's eyes lit up, and he knew that the damn guy would not die so easily.

Thor's eyes were bloodshot with excitement, and he chopped the wooden door frantically with the knife in his hand. He didn't know whether it was because he had a chance to take revenge or because he had a glimmer of hope.

Splitting the wooden door open, Thor rushed in and found a secret passage. He ran quickly in the secret passage with an oil lamp, but was soon overtaken by the cold river water.

The river water pouring crazily into the tunnel pushed Thor forward. After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally came from the front. The light filtered through the gaps in the wooden boards and shone warmly on his body.

When Thor was rushed out of the secret passage, the fresh air and clean sunlight gave him a feeling of rebirth.

Thor glanced around and found the corpses of the recruiting officer and his men, four in total, three men and one woman.

"Bah! Disgusting! Today is the day for you too!"

Thor spat and cursed loudly. You was not relieved, kicked him hard twice, and stabbed him twice more.

Only then did he realize that each of these people had a cross nailed to their chest, and their heads had been shot with a rifle. They were already dead.

"Who did this?"

Thor couldn't help but think in his mind, but before he had time to think more, a gunshot rang out and a bullet passed through his forehead.

Thor fell to the ground in response, and his vision immediately became blurred. He only knew that two people wearing Dalaris (Roman Catholic uniforms) came over.

They all wore masks on their faces and took out an iron cross and a hammer from behind.

After a few dull knocks, the two made the sign of the cross and muttered something that seemed to be the Requiem.

On a dark carriage nearby, a young nun said harshly.

"If you kill, just kill. Why bother?"

Thor slowly exhaled his last breath, closed his eyes, and put a smile on his lips.
