Then they suddenly broke out in laughter as they started mocking me.
"You? You're saying that you're the one?"
"What a joke! If you want to claim something like this, at least bring someone believable."
"Right? Do you really think that we would believe that a pretty boy like you could come up with anything like this?"
The two of them suddenly became sane for a moment before suddenly going back to what they had been doing.
Was it because they were pretending, or could it be that I had actually reached them?
Either way, it was a good sign.
As long as I keep provoking them, there will be a reaction that comes.
That was what I had learned from those psychology books that I had read.
Sometimes, it was necessary to dive deeper since the mental breaks that they suffered from were a projection of the thing that had caused that mental break. By diving deeper, one might be able to find what had caused that mental break in the first place, as well as helping that person come to terms with it.
So I didn't hesitate to push further.
"So these two great generals were defeated by a young pretty boy like me, how does that feel?"
The two generals once again snapped out of their crazy ramblings to look at me in a daze before suddenly reacting.
"What did you say?"
"You want to say that you're better than us? Come back in a thousand years!"
The two generals once again insulted me as much as they could, but I just ignored all of it as I calmly looked at them.
Even if they didn't want to accept it, they had no choice but to face this since they were being insulted right now.
But then General Killock said, "He is indeed the current general of this army, the one that was appointed by the fourth prince himself. He was the one that led us here and planned out that entire battle."
Even in their crazed state, the general and vice general recognized General Killock since he was the famed general of the fourth prince's army.
The moment that he said this, both of them looked at me with very strange looks before suddenly saying in slow voices, "You're the one that planned everything?"
I just gave a very calm nod in response without saying anything.
There was a moment of silence before both the general and the vice general jumped onto the table. They reached their hands out as if they wanted to grab me and rip me apart.
But there was a reason why I had called all of these soldiers in.
They had been standing behind the general and the vice general the entire time, as if they had been waiting for something. The moment that the general and vice general tried to grab me, the soldiers grabbed them and restrained them.
They wouldn't allow them even come close to me as they held them back.
The general and vice general tried as hard as they could, but both of them were exhausted and injured. It wasn't as if they could overpower these soldiers that were well rested and in perfect condition.
So they could only let themselves be restrained in their seats.
Since they couldn't take action, they decided to use their words.
"You, you, you monster! You slaughtered all those people of our Midra Kingdom!"
"You're the devil! How could you watch all of our men be slaughtered like that?!" freew ebnove l.com
They cursed me with all their might, but I wasn't offended at all since I knew that this was normal. I just calmly faced them and waited for them to finish, but it seemed like the soldiers and even General Killock couldn't help being disturbed by what they said.
General Killock suddenly slapped the table and said, "So you're the only ones that can kill people, we can't? This is war, people dying is normal."
Both the general and the vice general hesitated for a moment since they knew that General Killock was right.
They were the ones that had invaded, so they couldn't blame anyone but themselves for this.
But the general still said, "We surrendered. Why didn't you come and save us? Why did you let the slaughter continue excessively?"
At this, I said with a shrug, "Do you think that we can control those Blood Worms? You should be happy that they left when they did and we were able to save the few remaining survivors. Otherwise, you might have all been buried in the ground today."
The general revealed a very strange look that had a trace of fear when he heard this.
He just looked at me for a bit before suddenly saying, "How can you say something like that? Do you not have any care for your fellow men at all?"
I said with a cold look, "You're the ones that invaded us and you're asking for mercy? I think you should know what the answer to that question is."
The general and vice general really didn't know what to say after hearing this.
They couldn't refute it since this person was correct, but they had never met a person like this before.
A person who didn't even see his fellow men as humans and just let them be slaughtered in the name of war. This was a dangerous person to their Midra Kingdom…No, this was a dangerous person to the entire world!
They needed to think of a way to send word back to the Midra Kingdom or to the other allied kingdoms.
They needed to make sure that they knew about the danger of this person, so that they could…send assassins as soon as possible.
The only way that the world could be saved was if this demon king was killed…
"The second prince was right, we really underestimated the enemy and suffered the consequences." The general muttered under his breath.
I immediately knitted my brows and repeated, "Second prince?"
Then they suddenly broke out in laughter as they started mocking me.
"You? You're saying that you're the one?"
"What a joke! If you want to claim something like this, at least bring someone believable."
