"bastard, I will kill you! let me out of thi~ iaghh... kuckkkhhhh..." *blood*
Before the man could blabber more out of his mouth, Hugo stabbed his throat with a mud spike he expelled out of his hand... He struggled to breathe between the blood and died while still standing with the support of others' shoulders.
*Chann* "Well, that was unexpected for,..." I medaled in between as the last part of the game was still not complete, but this action of Hugo is very helpful for me... He stabbed the throat of the one who was screeching to slit his throat before. Every one of them looked at each other, they saw the same fear in the eyes of the other. They all are extremely terrified and one by one they all lowered their body as an act of surrender... They are powerless in this situation, the individual doesn't care about their life even a fraction of how even we, the werewolf care about these humans' value of life.
"...but before Mr. Hugo takes you'll in his care, I need a favor from you all... and the reward will be your freedom. If any one of you just give me the details of the various Troops of the Daemon Land and other forces, I will set you free. By giving us this information those who failed can also redeem their freedom... You know I keep my words, besides, do you all have any other choice?"
*Thoughts* "I asked them for a favor which isn't a hard one to come with, almost everyone knows about it and couldn't be considered any kind of secret information. It wasn't of any use to us too, the information is not helpful in any way, we already know about it... It is merely a slight update to our previous Information. As expected, some of them got excited, as just by revealing a mere detail they can return to their home and the most important thing is they can avoid harsh punishment and Hugo..."
They have already seen two examples right in front of them, if they don't leave this place they will get killed by this man. Before they were not afraid of death but seeing Hugo, his cruelness, and brutality, they began to think of avoiding their demise even for the sake of leaving behind the prince in enemies hand. They all are thinking the matter can be reported to the King after returning, the Royal council will definitely have a plan to free the Prince. Considering the size of the Fortress and the importance of the Person imprisoned they will send the 'Kings' warrior' or even 'Kings' Knight' to free the Prince and annihilate the enemies in the Process.
They also know that this werewolf won't kill the Prince, it can lead to an all-out war that hasn't been fought for many years between werewolves and humans of Daemon Land. Actually, the war in this region is quite slow and steady due to various reasons. Both Species haven't fought any full-fledged war from a very long time ago. Werewolves have their own reason and humans have their reason too. If war happens, they both will suffer heavy damage... Though it was their own fault to bring the Prince outside their boundary and werewolves just happened to take advantage of this situation. Instead, the life of the Prince can be a bargain for other things...
"Let me go, I will tell you everything that I know," A timid person spoke out first, he gave every detail about the 'Kings' warrior' he knew about and some other details of the things which were real news to us. Well, the information he gave eventually crossed the line of Confidentiality... He is now a traitor for letting out this Information to us and now it is clear he is leaving behind the Prince for his own safety.
By asking a simple question, I was hinting at them to reveal the crucial information of their Kingdom, and one of the wimpy but quick-witted felt it, only giving us standard information won't get him out of this, so he gave us something that can please us. He just wanted to go back home, even though he can no more hold the dignity of a warrior after this incident, but he just motivated others to do the same. There were a total of five who were so timid, they revealed everything they knew about the troops and battalions' of 'Daemon Land', of course, they repeated many things and didn't reveal as much as the former one.
After the weak ones told everything they knew, I let them go as they wanted... They first got surprised that I'm really setting them free, they stared widely at me as I am some savior of humankind. *smirk*
"Go, I won't stop you," I patted the shoulder of the first one who came forward.
"Ahh..."
"Oh, does that stings? Sorry, I forgot to cut my nails... *grin* By the way, you know what? Treachery is in the blood of you human beings, the real Traitor is not Hugo, it's the likes of you and your Captain Amzi." He felt a needle pain on his shoulder but didn't notice the cause of it as no cut was visible on his shoulder. As I said those words, he stared back at his comrades and asked their forgiveness for betraying them and the Prince in crises. After that, he didn't look back and walked out of the gate.
The other ones also followed behind him as they saw him getting out of the gate. After all of them got out of the Fortress, I turned towards the remaining prisoners. "So now they are gone and you all lost the chance to go back with them, you are now in the care of Hugo. I see you all are still in your sound mind after getting beaten up, you didn't leave behind your Prince for the sake of your freedom." I said those words before leaving the place with my subordinates, and the ones who didn't answer any questions were again made to be beaten separately in the corner. Well, they are only four including the two commanders of their unit, aside from them, every one of them is a coward and they revealed everything to us.
// Hugo P.O.V //
*Thoughts* "Now I can do as I please..."
"Bring their Captain," I asked a werewolf to bring Amzi to the front so every one of his soldiers can see him. I was giving them lashes of 'Iron-point' for the past several hours, the Apprentice Magis are in a near-dead state after getting beaten up so badly, but on the contrary, Amzi is tough... The 'Iron-point lash' is still not able to penetrate his skin and he has only got some minor brushes from it. Even though he has no more magic to fight back, his physical abilities are superior to an average werewolf...
*Thoughts* "hmph, courtesy of 'Steel-water'. If not for it, he has been already dead. I had a hard time piercing his waist because of his enhanced body."
*Amzi* "Traitor, why are you doing this? you won't gain anything from doing this. Do you think they will make you their own for following their orders? They are just a bunch of dogs and you have fallen below their level~"
"Just shut up your mouth, I'm not listening to your blithering." I kicked his face, what's he trying to say? He still doesn't realize that humans are way weaker than Wolfs and just calling them dogs, who are distant offspring of their parent species, doesn't going to change the fact... and I'm not following them either, I act on my own, and today... I have my own reason.
**Irate** *aloud* "Who are you still calling a traitor? I don't serve under your king, to begin with... and My king is already dead, cause of you, *grave tone* Traitor!" I kicked his face again, as the result, his body wavered but still, he resists and didn't fall.
"Still resisting, huh? You have got quite a good gift from your new king," I kicked him more and more as he resists and he finally fell on the ground.
As Hugo was beating Amzi and yelling at him, everyone got confused with the sudden change in the situation. They presumed they are going to be punished, but instead Hugo started to beat Amzi and saying something which was beyond their knowledge... Some of the quick-witted come to understand something after listening to their conversation. It looks like the traitor Spie Hugo has some personal grudge against their Captain Amzi.
"Listen you, morons... You think I betrayed you, I don't care about you, what you say, I act on my own, I don't serve your King, neither your scum Captain, I serve myself and this scum~ *Pushing feet on Amzi* ... You don't know who he really is, You all act under him but you don't know who he acts under...!"
Everyone got even more confused after listening to Hugo. What's he talking about? Amzi works under whom else? He is the Captain of their Alpha battalion number Eleven and serves under their only king, who else? No one seems to understand what is Hugo talking about, except the two Unit commanders', they finally catch the hint of what Hugo is trying to say...?
// There are Eleven Alpha battalion, they are named as they were formed by the first and oldest warriors of Daemon Land. //
