Chapter 176 (2/2)
Rody looked at hiht's Spirit? This is the Radiant Continent and I aht!”
Gerta's face was red and the anger in his eyes grew stronger Rody looked coldly at him and said, ”Do you want to call ht now, it is you who attacked us Do you think invaders like you have the right to talk badly about me?”
Rody no longer looked at hi outside the cell and saw Rody walk out He then immediately said, ”Duke…”
Rody shook his head and looked at the nearby soldiers before saying, ”Think of a way to make him talk! However, do not kill him!”
Sieg frowned, ”Your Excellency He looks like a Senior Knight These kinds of people are tough and stubborn I don't think…”
Rody understood and nodded his head ”H this person would work…” Rody pondered for a moment and then he suddenly sneered, ”There is no need to torture him Let someone accompany him at all times of the day and provide him with food and drinks Do not torture him at all However, do not let him sleep, not even for a moment Even if he wants to sleep, do whatever is needed to keep him awake”
”Huh?” Sieg froze up He had never heard of this before He had heard of not giving the prisoner food or water or other types of torture However, it was the first ti a prisoner sleep
Rody smiled and said, ”I learned this method from An1… an old friend before the expedition I don't even knohether it would be effective or not Let's just try it first”
Seeing Sieg's hesitant look, Rody frowned and said, ”Is it really that difficult? You just need to splash his face ater or maybe make a lot of noise near his ears Nohe can last”
Their subordinates i left, Sieg seemed to hesitate as he walked beside Rody Finally, he could not help but speak ”Your Excellency”
”Yes?”
Sieg gritted his teeth and replied, ”Your Excellency, I think that your e… If I may speak bluntly, you never tortured prisoners in the past”
Rody stopped and looked at Sieg Sieg believed that the Duke would have been angry but he still raised his head and looked into the Duke's eyes
Rody nodded and said, ”Sieg I know that you do not think highly of these actions In your opinion, torturing a prisoner could even be considered despicable Aht?”
Sieg looked at Rody's sharp eyes and started to have a cold sweat However, he stubbornly replied, ”Yes”
Rody quietly looked at Sieg for a few seconds and then sighed He then turned around and looked at the sky
At that , the soldiers in Thunder City took this opportunity to rest There were only a few soldiers patrolling the walls nervously A tense quiet surrounded the city
”Sieg Let me ask you What is ourin a soft voice ”Why do we fight?”
Sieg thought a little then replied loudly, ”Obviously, it is to destroy our enemies and drive them out of our continent”
Rody nodded and sighed, ”That is what you see and think However, I a more than that”
Rody patted Sieg's shoulder slowly This felt a little aard as he was younger than Sieg However, Sieg did not feel anything but instead felt it was natural Over tier than hi the late Duke The late Duke had also patted his shoulders and instructed him
Rody's voice sounded in his ears ”I am a Supreme Commander My task is not only to drive away our enemies I ahting against the enemy, I have to find ways to reduce the losses of our ar step, it is possible for thousands of people to die!”
Sieg did not speak and quietly listened to Rody
”Maybe you think that torturing a defenseless prisoner is dishonorable However, you are wrong! If you torture him, you may be able to obtain important information If this infor ato do!”
Rody's voice turned serious and he continued, ”Perhaps your words are sensible As a warrior, there is no dignity in torturing a defenseless prisoner However, you are not just a warrior! You are a commander! The lives of many soldiers are in your hands! Your nity as a warrior but protecting the lives of these people”
”Do you think that my actions are dishonorable? In that case, letas more of my soldiers can live, I would do even more dastardly deeds in future!”
Rody spoke with an indifferent and ruthless expression Sieg looked at the Duke and remembered his naïve smile when he had just entered the barracks He also reers in the Northwest This gave birth to a strange emotion in him
”Your Excellency,” Sieg looked at Rody respectfully and said, ”You have really changed”
Rody s so e?”
After that, Rody waved his hands as if he wanted to end that depressing conversation He then looked at Sieg and changed the topic ”Today, the sorcery used by the Roland are What do you think?”
Sieg nodded and replied, ”Yes It is reasonable to say that our icians are not weaker than their sorcerers However, the spells used by our hundreds of icians were not so powerful I have never even heard of such concentrated lightning”
Rody nodded and said, ”That is right Although sorcerers can use large scaledifferent here Those sorcerers are htning spells at the same time, it would not have been so powerful A hundred plus sician's barriers However, the spell they used today easily did that”
Sieg suddenly said, ”I think this lightning spell was as powerful as the ones used by a high ranked sorcerer No, perhaps it is even endary forbidden spells are…”
Rody shook his head and said, ”I have seen and personally experienced forbidden spells in the Northwest It hen I fought against their Black Veil Saint However, it was not as powerful as the spell used today”
Sieg's co that the people of the Roland continent had found a way for a lot of sorcerers to use the spell simultaneously, and thus made the spell several times more powerful?”
Rody thought for aHow hard must an ordinary person punch if he wants to knock down a robust young man?”
Sieg froze for a moment and answered ”This? I am not too sure However, if I want to knock down a robust man, my punch would need about one hundred pounds worth of effort”
Rody nodded and said, ”That's right So, let us say that this robust roup of children Each of the children was very weak and would not be able to harm the robust man Even if they took turns to punch the robust man, they would not be able to hurt hith into one punch, they ht be able to knock him down”
