Chapter 42: The Determined Captain.
"The Mallowhill Massecure."
"That day 3 years before Chavaria was formed."
"Where tens of thousands died on the orders of Drusus Dardanius, the legendary Chavarian general who had captured tens of thousands of troops."
"Did you know that I took part in that?"
"Do you think we were too ruthless?"
"Of course you do."
"So let me ask you one question."
"Do you believe the value of all life is equal?"
"Does this include those in the future?"
"If we did not do what we did, war would have raged on for many years more."
"Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people, would die in the chaotic times; families would sell their children into slavery for food or a means to survive, their cries of hatred and despair muffled by the morale grandstanding of those people who call us war criminals."
"Yes, I am a war criminal, but my crime saved millions, so if I had to do it all again, I would!"
