Chapter 100: Kingdom Foundation (5)
***
Yuri went to the fortress first, taking Frill with her.
After disposing of Gensema, Zeff and I joined her at the fortress later.
As soon as we arrived, I got information again from the prisoners I had kept alive.
"So you're supposed to report back periodically, and people from each branch will be coming soon? They'll be bringing back more orders?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Your information was accurate, and thanks to it, I was able to kill Gensema and Luthrie. It's only accurate information like that that makes it worth keeping alive. Do you know what that means?"
"Yes, of course! I will never...ever lie to you! I'm not like those other guys!"
The prisoners all shouted in fear.
These people don't deserve mercy but as long as they're useful I'll keep them alive.
"You're sure that this fortress is the headquarters, aren't you?"
