In the morning, after burning the corpses of the enemies, Einar questioned the survivors. At first, no one wanted to report anything, so Einar decided to persuade them with a demonstration.
For this, he placed the enemy leader on a chair in front of the prisoners and with a hammer broke finger by finger of the leader's right hand.
"Now someone wants to tell me why you were waiting in this place and how you knew we were close to you."
Everyone was silent until Einar looked at them with a smile. "You can answer without fear of reprisal by any of your leaders. I can assure you that all of them will be working in wells of black liquid called oil.
The life of your leaders is going to be so miserable that they will wish they were dead but good to have guards watching them throughout the day to prevent them from committing suicide.
