Chapter 182: Soul Torture
In the dark cavern, the moss emitted a faint light.
Overhead, there was the shouting of soldiers, and it seemed that someone had discovered the deep hole, but there was a lack of ropes and other tools for a short time, and it was impossible to come down to see what was going on.
The demigod Alberto leaned against the corroded cave wall, his spirit had completely disintegrated, and his spirit was completely paralyzed by the toxin, unable to mobilize the slightest ability, so he could only bow his head with a pale face and assume a powerless posture of being slaughtered.
"Your Excellency the Hidden Strings." Rasul smiled and said, "Now can we have a good talk?" ”
Alberto was silent for a moment, then spoke, his voice withering: "Kill me." ”
"We don't have to kill you." "As long as you do what we ask, write to the Wolf family......"
"Kill me." Alberto interrupted.
"It's okay." Agrippina said coldly, "Even if you want to die, I can make you beg for death." ”
"Kill me." Alberto was silent for a long time, and turned on the repeater mode again.
Of course, this is not actually a repeater, but a counter-interrogation technique after being captured. Aside from this, he will not answer any questions to prevent accidental leakage of intelligence through small talk.
"You're useless. Find someone with psychic abilities and you will be able to turn your mind out of it. Aske said, "Why don't you be honest and have a good time?" ”
Alberto's face turned paler, and he was speechless for a moment, and finally said:
"Kill me."
"As agreed." Aske turned to Rasul and Agrippina and said, "The two potions, as well as this keel sword, are mine, and my team members have a few questions for him." ”
"After asking, we'll leave. The final fate of this demigod, our Azure Sword no longer cares. ”
"Yes." Rasul smiled in response. Agrippina nodded coldly.
A few minutes later, the girls of the Blue Sword entered the cave along the passage gnawed by the rats, and their eyes fell on the embarrassed Alberto.
The regimental commander and these people actually defeated the captured demigods...... Well, there's nothing surprising about it, after all, it's the head of the regiment.
Eleanor stepped forward quickly, her eyes fixed on Alberto, her expression depressed and gloomy as if a thick dark cloud:
It was this man who led the army to invade the Duchy of Bavaria.
He instigated the Lord of Filth to stir up a plague of rats and pestilences that killed thousands. Villages were abandoned, towns were crumbled, and even Hood died.
He brought a plague of swords, dragged the southern part of the principality into a merciless war, washed the entire city of Innsbruck with cannon blood, and destroyed countless families overnight. The wife has lost her husband and the child has no mother.
"Why ......," Eleanor clenched her fists and squeezed a sentence out between her teeth, "why this war?" ”
"Kill me." Alberto replied mechanically, suddenly feeling something familiar to the voice.
He looked up and was stunned to recognize the eldest lady of the Weissbach family.
It's you...... If I die at the hands of the enemy of my rival family, it will be my retribution.
"Why start a war?" Eleanor took a deep breath and asked him through gritted teeth, "Didn't the Duchy of Bavaria, in the time of Duke Henry the Lion, once belong to the rule of your Wolf family?" ”
"And now, you, as lords and nobles canonized by the emperor, have taken the initiative to launch a rebellion and start a war to destroy the descendants of the people you once swore to protect! Thousands of innocent Frankish civilians, lost their lives in this despicable, despicable, and dishonorable war, their bones piled up on the roadside and eaten by wild beasts, like livestock, died without even the slightest dignity! ”
"What do you think of human life?" She almost bit her lip to the point of blood, "Answer me, bastard!" ”
"Are the numbers of the war games? Pieces on the chessboard? Or a blood-stained stepping stone to the Iron Throne?! The conquest of several principalities, the maiming and death of tens of thousands, and the endless blood, tears, sorrows, and sufferings of the common people, because of the filthy hopes and ambitions of people like you......"
She pressed the knuckles of her sword to the point that she turned white, and her voice grew louder and louder, and the muscles of her face almost spasmed with anger. Nora grabbed her arm uneasily, and suddenly heard Alberto in front of her, let out a low sneer.
"So, young little swan, Miss Eleanor, you haven't understood the nature of this civil war?"
His gaze was raised defiantly, and with a sneering look in his eyes, he said in a tone of pity:
"Tens of thousands of casualties scare you? Dear Miss Weissbach, you have lost all courage, will, and determination at the gates of hell after a quick glance at us, and you have come to rebuke us for having ushered in hell. ”
"But the one who is about to really open the gates of Hell, the one who is about to hold the authority of herding and drive you into Hell like a flock, the great man who is high up and full of great ambition, will you dare to stand before him and say even one of the same words as you have just said?"
"Don't take a step away." Eleanor gritted her teeth.
"It's you who don't understand the meaning behind the topic." Alberto closed his eyes and sneered, "Do you think those dead Franks would have survived without this civil war?" Ironically, in the following campaign of the Supreme Relatives against Italy and Canada, this death toll would be multiplied by ten, hundred, or even thousand. ”
"You've seen machine guns and rocket launchers, claiming that we killed a lot of Franks with them. But have you ever seen a white phosphorus bomb? Have you ever seen a thermobaric bomb? I've never seen it, so you should know about tactical nuclear bombs, right? In front of the Holy See, the machine guns and rocket launchers you have seen are nothing, like a child with a wooden sword against a heavily armed mercenary. Poor little girl, you know nothing about true power. ”
"It is true that we have started a war, but not at all for the sake of 'hope and ambition' as you claim, but out of great fear. Civil war is indeed cruel and despicable, but it is warm enough compared to an all-out war that will lead to the destruction of the country and the species. ”
He sneered lowly, and with great contempt and contempt, continued:
"If we can win this civil war, then at least we can prevent the entire empire from falling into hell, even if we bear the infamy of immorality. However...... We failed. So I had to go ahead and pay the price I had to pay in advance. ”
"As for you, young Miss Weissbach, and the companions around you who have unrealistic illusions of peace......" Alberto lifted his gaze, pupils slowly losing focus.
"Wait until the day comes, when you realize the true despair that we fear, and then go to hell with resentment, reluctance, and remorse. I'll be in the depths of hell...... Waiting to laugh at you. ”
His eyelids drooped involuntarily, as if he had lost all his strength. The body paralyzed by the toxin was no longer able to sustain itself, forcing him into a kind of coma of self-preservation.
Eleanor stood in place, stunned and speechless for a long time.
