32 Chapter 32

Inside a small cave, Sam was standing up and looking down on the pants less guy. Sid and Edward were waiting at the entrance of the cave while checking from times to times the outside for any enemies that might come, they had already checked if the guy had anything that could be traced but they found nothing except a phone that they threw further away from the cave however it didn't mean that he didn't have a tracking chip or anything like that inside his body so they stayed careful.

Ella and Sarah were patrolling the area while looking for any trace of human presence such as fire, camps or anything that could mean enemies were here or had been here recently.

"Alright, let's begin, I'll take off the t shirt in your mouth. If you make a ruckus I'll make sure you regret it, do you understand ?"

The man lightly nodded and Sam untied the t shirt that was full of saliva, he threw the gross thing further away from him and waited for the guy to speak.

The man took a few seconds to moisten his dry mouth and asked lowly, his eyes were trying to pierce Sam but he didn't really care, Ella had already said that he was a grade two evolver but Sam believed he couldn't be a threat to him except during a sneak attack.

"What do you want from me ?"

"Answers, I'll ask you a few questions and you have two choices : lying or not answering, I'll torture you in the worst possible ways. Answering truthfully, I'll let you join your lover without making it hard for you."

The man looked thoughtful, he knew very well that he wouldn't be able to resist torture, who could possibly know his limits better than him ? But he wanted to see if he could make it out alive, of course he was scared of dying.

"I'll answer everything you want to know but I want to be released alive after I do."

The man tried to appear confident but Sam saw very well that he was trembling slightly, obviously from fear.

'Should I promise him that I'll release him ? He might get too confident and try to fuck me up if I do...'

Sam was thinking to himself but Mechy didn't care and answered his question.

[I think you should intimidate him more, showing a weakness now is the wrong way to do it.]

Sam smiled and pulled out his ghastly white midnight dagger, the man who saw it suddenly went pale.

"Wait wait ! Pleas—"

Before he was even done pleading Sam he already had a long gash going from his navel to his lower thigh, it was bleeding profusely and almost had his genitals cut off.

The man was about to scream in pain when a hand came to cover his mouth.

"No sound, it would be bad if your friends came here wouldn't it ? The next time you try to negotiate with me, I'll take your manhood. Understood ?"

The man had tears and snot flowing all over his face but he kept quiet and nodded, how unlucky was he to fall into this demon's hands ?

Sam wasn't an expert in torture so he followed Mechy's advice and it went pretty smoothly, he also knew that the most important thing in torture was the mental pressure you applied, if the man saw him as a demon and not a human it would help him get the answers he needed.

As the reason why Sam didn't feel any pity for the man, that was because they were at war, he would never be able to do this to an innocent man but nobody on a battlefield was innocent, the golden rule of war was kill or be killed and Sam understood that very well due to his past experiences and his slightly higher intelligence than the average human.

"What's your name ?"

"Hild, that's my nam...sob...e."

Sam gave the man a slap to calm down his non stop sobbing and continued.

"How old are you ?"

"21 years old."

Sam was using the same method that had been used on him during his interrogation, he asked simple questions to test the man and to make him relax, Mechy was also giving him advices on how to act and what to say. If someone who was proficient in interrogation saw him now they would think this young man was an expert for sure due to his body language and the pressure he applied unconsciously to the man.

"Where is your army stationed?"

"In the castl—"

The man was answering robotically when he realized he had let an important information slip, his eyes went wide and he wanted to use his hands to cover his mouth but they were attached behind his back.

"We already knew that, I was barely testing you. There is no need to hide anything because that would only make it harder for you."

The man looked at Sam's calm eyes and believed he wasn't lying, cold sweat ran down his back and he heaved a sigh of relief.

'Thank god I didn't try to lie...'

Of course Sam didn't know if they were really hiding in there or not before the man said it, he was barely tricking him into not lying by making him believe that they already had the informations, by thinking that : the man would be less likely to lie as he believed that if he did, Sam would know about it.

[Pretty basic mind game, well done.]

This time Mechy hadn't done or said anything, it had decided to watch Sam and help him if he really didn't do well but it looked like he wouldn't need help as he was pretty good at playing with his enemy's mind.

"How many of you are in the castle ?"

"There are a total of 15 humans."

Sam looked at the guy weirdly, was it necessary to point out that they were humans ? But he realized that that might mean something.

"What about the stuff that isn't human ?"

"We bought with us 4 grade two Blue winged Eagles, they are mainly used for scouting but they can fight pretty well."

[It seems like this guy has given up, he's even giving informations that you didn't ask. You can ask him anything and he will answer truthfully if you want my opinion.]

'Hmmm.'

Sam has also realized that point, this was pretty good for them as they might even get the location of the teleport station from him without needing to raid the castle.
