Floid was a benevolent leader, so he will temper justice with mercy.
"Half of them. Cut their numbers down to half of what they were. That is their punishment for this oversight. I shall be inside the town. Rosavellt, and Quinn, help Dragonnel to carry out the task. That should be enough penance for their sins."
Floid only said this before he started to walk forward again. Alucard and Pyra followed behind Floid while Rosavellt bowed as she accepted their task. Quinn was just staring at everyone in stunned silence. Did Floid just say we should kill half of the people in the town!? No. I'm sure I just misheard him! There is no way Floid would kill all those people just because someone disrespected him! That was too cruel!
