33 The plan of execution. (1/2)
The day of intended battle, outside the city of Na
A suffocating atmosphere enveloped the tent. Other than the commander-in-chief and the captain of his guard, there were Riyasu, Akai, Vorn present in the tent. Though it was the first time, Chanakya had entered the Commander's tent but he didn't have any fascination about it. He, was expressionless, was standing behind Kinoya.
Kinoya was different, different from before. He was wearing a loose cloth around his body, in place of red armour. The aura of an immature soldier was nowhere to be seen. The only thing that had remained the same, was the talwar at his back. In his only eligible eye, there wasn't any resentment nor fear for those who are standing in front of him, neither there was any respect.
”Do you have any captives?” Kinoya's voice was bold. Though it was kind of disrespectful, the captain of the guard didn't utter a word.
”Captives?” The question was too absurd for Riyasu to understand. Not just Riyasu, none had known the logic behind the question.
”Do you have it or not?”
”Insolent!” So Riyasu slammed his hand on the table, ”Don't you know how to respect your superior? We can take your head for disrespecting your superior.”
”Does it look like I care about it?”
Riyasu clenched his fist and was about to say it, but Vorn seized the opportunity, ”We have some. Why are you going to ransom them?”
Kinoya shook his head but didn't answer, ”Do we have any Torria armours?” With a nod from Vorn Kinoya added. ”Then I will need 100 captives fully dressed in the armours.”
”Why you want them?” If wouldn't have been someone other than Akai, he wouldn't have responded at all.
”I will kill them.”
”Kill them?” Akai couldn't help but shudder, looking at his eyes, ”But they have surrendered. Some of them, not even the soldiers.”
”Then find those who are soldiers. If there is a problem with that, then give me slaves, those I could kill. I don't care who they are, as long as I get 100 in Torria armours. I need them within half an hour.” Kinoya's answer was too hard to swallow, wasn't matching his age, but that wasn't a concern for him, ”Who is the general of the army?”
”The one leading now is called General Manu.”
”What about the one called Whitefreak?”
'Whitefreak?' none of them had heard of him. To be precise, it was their first time hearing the name of such a thing.
”Who is that? Never heard of him.” At such a question Kinoya could only frown, never did he think that the networking will be so useless. ”What about the formation?”
*Boom*
”What the hell?” With the loud roar, Riyasu slammed on the table, spilling water everywhere. He didn't care whether it is General of the west or anybody else, even if it was the minister of war, he would have done the same. ”Why the hell are you taking orders from 13 years old? Don't you have pride?”
His attitude towards Kinoya couldn't be more clear, but what was more surprising for Riyasu, was the attitude of others. Not just the three-star generals but also the Cardinals general, the pride of empire, was listening like a good boy.
”It is not about thirteen years old, but it is about what is right?”
”Killing the surrendered soldiers is the right thing to do?” Riyasu eyes were red as he was howling his words out.
”General, you should remember that you are in the presence of the commander-in-chief.” The captain of the guard thundered.
Riyasu snorted and was about to say something but commander-in-chief stopped them all. ”Do you have any other plan?”
