At that moment Roy felt like nothing more than a big bully, but the important point was that he had achieved half of his goal, but things weren't over yet.
He had to make sure that these 4 weren't the only ones who had understood this whole show he had put on, so he turned towards the tribe people and asked with a cold and detached tone,
"Does anyone here want to continue with the show? Since I am a soft heart tribe Head I will leave the choice up to you.
As long as one of you says that he wants the show to continue, then the show will continue!"
What a joke, this all damn scene had made them all shiver and cover their behinds, they were like turtles trying to hide their heads and faces at this point.
None of them wished for this damn thing to continue, so none of them made a sound, they only just lowered their heads in acknowledgment.
They all wanted to end this thing as soon as they could, and take a moment to reorganize their thoughts, but who would have thought that not all of them had the same thought.
Just as they thought that this whole show would be over for the day, they all heard the voice of a woman from the front saying,
"I-I wa-want t-the sho-show t-to co-continue!"
Even though her whole body was trembling for a moment, and she seemed like she would limp on the ground any moment, she still managed to raise her hand and say it.
No one would understand at first why she was doing it. Everyone wanted this thing over already, they all wanted to forget this nightmare, and yet she raised her hand, and said those words.
Even Roy himself was surprised at her courage, and action, after all even he himself didn't want to continue with this shit.
But she wasn't giving him much of an option, after all, he had already announced earlier that as long as one of them wanted the show to continue then it would continue.
Was this one of those times when his own plans backfired, would he have to accept defeat here, and show weakness?
He really didn't want to continue this, it was too difficult for him as this was his first time inflicting pain on someone fully aware, and intentionally.
While he had already accepted that his path would be a bloody and painful one, he still didn't want to continue with this at the moment.
He felt like he had lost all his resolve and determination at the moment, and was so close to vomiting right then and there.
As silence conquered the place for a few moments, the woman seemed to have grown more determined as she said,
"We are barbarians, we shall not kneel in front of these white devil. Even if my own blood daughter is there to suffer, I shall not allow anyone of you to kneel in front of a white devil!"
It was only when she said those words that the whole crowd finally raised their heads to look at the woman who spoke, even though they already had an idea of who she was.
She was the official wife of the old tribe Head. She was a breed barbarian through and through, especially if she was able to do something like this at this moment.
She seemed to have a deep, and dark hate for the white devils' like Roy, even sacrifice her own daughter to that unbearable pain.
Her words managed to break a bit that horror-filled situation, as not only her but other barbarians, started to raise their hands, and heads as well.
It looked like her words had filled them with shame, anger, pride, and arrogance, returning them to their roots of being barbarians.
One would have to stand up and applause for the bravery, and courage that she showed at that moment, it was something really incredible.
But at the same time give her a few good slaps because while she managed to increase the morale of her people, she challenged the moral of the devil.
Roy who had been undecisive before she raised her hand, and her voice, seemed to have made his decision, as the look on his eyes grew colder and more fearsome.
He looked towards her, then all the other barbarians that seemed to have taken a boost of morale, then to the women he had spent his night with, and finally to the boys and girls at his feet.
When his eyes finally landed on them he had a grin that could make people shiver in fear, it was clear that he was thinking of doing something bad, but no one knew what he had in mind.
Certainly, continuing with the show as it was going would have a negative effect on him, as it would only affect to increase their hate against him.
Even though they would fear him, most probably their hate would surpass their fear, and they would again try to kill him, or rebel against him.
If Roy wanted to truly make them fear him, and crush every hope they might have to go against him, then he would need to destroy their strongest point.
With these thoughts in mind, he said in a loud voice,
"Well then since the crowd has decided then the show must surely go on!"
The two boys and girls on the ground couldn't believe their ears, it wasn't like they hadn't heard her words, but who cared about them when they would be the ones to suffer.
Surely it was nice to have pride, arrogance, and morale when you were just watching this, but they would actually be the ones suffering.
No, they couldn't allow this to happen, they had to do everything they could to escape this dark fate that was threatening to encroach them, as they once again started pleading and shivering,
"Please… mercy… promise…" x4
Hearing those pleadings and their cries the grin on Roy's face started to grow, as he suddenly started speaking as if he had remembered something,
"Oh right, the show must truly go on, but didn't you guys tell me that you will take care of anyone that hadn't understood the lesson?
Don't tell me that those were only empty words, and now that you have the opportunity to show me your resolve, you can just cry and plead here pathetically!?"
His words surprised and startled the whole crowd, who would have expected him to say something like that suddenly.
The four kids on the ground were startled as well, as they could only raise their snotty faces and look up at Roy with confused looks.
It was as if they were trying to ask Roy what he meant by those words!
In front of them Roy's grin was growing shinier and bigger with each passing second, as he looked them in the eyes, and said like a devil whispering to his followers,
"You did promise me to take care of anyone who hadn't learned their lesson right!?"
The 2 boys and the 2 girls could only look at him as if they were being charmed by his eyes, as they nodded their heads, and made a noise.
"Mhm-mhm!"
"But at the same time, I am not a liar, so the show must go on! You understand that right!?"
"Mhm-mhm!"
"Well if that is the case, then there is a choice in front of you, as I see it. You either chose to negate your earlier words and suffer the torture that those two ladies went through.
Or, force those who haven't learned their lesson to take their place! Simple as that!"
Once again, the whole crowd was surprised and startled by his words. Barbarians weren't the brightest people, and they wouldn't argue much with logic, as their fights were their arguments.
So, they were unable to understand whether Roy's words and forced logic truly made sense or not, and they could only understand that right now the choice was in the hands of those 2 boys, and 2 girls.
The barbarian woman who had been the one to raise the morale of her fellow barbarians had a yellowish-white face at that moment.
She was ready to see, and hear the pain and suffering of her own daughter in front of the whole tribe, and treat her as a sacrifice but she was clearly not prepared to suffer that herself.
The moment she heard those last words coming out of Roy's mouth she had a shiver course through her whole body, as a bad premonition started encapsulating her whole.
No, she couldn't accept this, there was no way she would accept something like that. The love she had for herself clearly surpassed the love she had for her offspring, as she started stumbling,
"Yo-you li-ied!"
It was at that point that Roy understood that she had already won the fight between them, as he was gloating inside, but on the outside, he plastered a sincere look, and said with confusion,
"Where did I lie? The show shall continue, but I had a promise with them first, so I have to honor my word to them first, right?"
The barbarian lady was trembling, thinking about her future, but then she was reminded that her daughter was amidst that group, as she screamed at her,
"Mila quickly accept the punishment alongside your friends, quickly. Don't destroy our pride as barbarians, quickly accept the punishment.
We should never kneel, or lose in front of these white devils, quickly accept it, Mila!"
Her daughter and the three others seemed to be in a truly difficult position right now, as they were trying to make the right choice.
It was difficult to make younglings like them take such a decision, but Roy didn't seem to care, as he just silently watched them come to a decision.
They all looked determined like they were about to face the worse…
