chapter 17

In the Evergreen army camp.

Things soon began to quiet down after the battle with the Rosen kingdom.

However, that is what showed on the outside, the situation was quite tense on the inside, right now all the officers of the army was sitting in the main tent with a dark expression on their face.

The main cause of that is the commander-in-chief of the Rosen army that's currently being tied down to a seat in the center of the tent."

"Tell us, what's the reason for your invasion!" Vandal shouted at the commander of the Rosen army in a threatening tone.

*Ptui!!! The man spat. "Kill me if you dare! You shall learn nothing from me!" he then shouted at Vandal in a mocking tone.

*smack, the old captain that lead the charge gave the man a punch in the face.

"*cough *cough is that all you got old fool? My grandmother hit me harder than that! And she's DEAD!" the man mocked the old captain.

"Why you-" the old captain was enraged, he was about to give the man another punch.

"Stop it captain Ralph, we need him to have his teeth to properly speak." Vandal called out the old man to stop him.

"Can I do the interrogation?" then a voice called out from a corner of the room.

Everyone was surprised by it, even the enemy commander, because that voice belongs to Leonard.

"How are you planning to do it?" Vandal asked him curiously.

"I have my method…" Leonard replied then pulled out a dagger and a small red vial.

"What are you planning to do brat? I won't tell you anything! Even if you use poison!" the enemy commander sneer at Leonard.

Leonard just grinned and fed the man the content of the red vial, and slowly the wound on his face resulted from Ralph punch slowly healed up.

"I need you to be in pristine condition for my method you see?" Leonard told the now astonished man and then slowly rinsed his dagger in the open flame, heating it up.

"What are you doing?" Ralph asked him.

"Don't you know that equipment that's used for...surgical process need to be sterilized in order to avoid infections?" Leonard replied as he slowly roasted the dagger.

Leonard left the dagger to slowly roasted on the fire and went to Rosen commander with a bright smile on his face, slowly he took off the man's armor pieces by pieces.

"Hey hey! What are you planning to do to me?!" the man struggled.

"Nothing much, I'm going to use you to teach everyone here a lesson about the human anatomy," Leonard replied in a cheerful tone.

The entire tent was silent, a few of the officers who were inside of the tent began to have cold sweats as they heard what Leonard said.

After Leonard spent quite a bit of time stripping the man bare, leaving nothing but his underwear he went to fire to pick up his dagger.

"Now... lets the fun begin." he smirked and began his lesson "get away from me you devil!" he screamed.

"Hmm, where should we start….the toe….or the finger…," Leonard questioned.

"Hey hey, did you hear that scream coming from the commander tent?" one of the knights who was on patrol around the camp asked his buddy.

"Yeah...that scream sound really painful, I wonder who caused it." the guy asked.

"Who knows, it's the higher up business-" the man suddenly stopped as he witnesses a dreadful scene in front of him.

A man being dragged out of their commander and officers tent, naked except for his underwear, and covered in blood, strangely enough, he had no wound that could be seen.

"...yeah….let just forget it," he suggested, his buddy just nodded along with him and they went back the other way.

Back in the tent, all the men expression on their face were pale after they all witnesses Leonard little lesson, they now saw this teenage in a completely new light.

"I'm sure you all heard his answers by now, what do you think we should do?" Leonard questioned them.

"We need to send this new to my father, I'm sure he will know what to do." Vandal suggested.

"I agree, we should send this new to his grace, the duke." Ralph seconded him.

Vandal and all the other nodded in agreement.

"Leonard, I- no, we have a favor to ask of you." Vandal then looks at his little brother.

"Ask away," Leonard replied.

"I need you to turn all the enemy corpses into zombies, and leave them here in the border under my command, we need as much help as we can get- in case they intend to go at it again." By that Vandal mean in case the Rosen will send more troops to attack them.

"I will do that then, just gather them all into a pile." Leonard agreed.

Interrogation scene.

"Hmm, where should we start….the toe….or the finger…," Leonard questioned.

"No no no! Stay away from me you devil!" the man shouted.

* Ssssshhhhh "AHHHHHHH!!!!!" the man roared in pain as the hot knife touched his skin.

"Tell me, why did you decide to invade us?" Leonard asked the man.

"I will never tell you!!" the man remained stubborn.

"Since that's the case-" * Puchi, Leonard stabbed the man's hand with his dagger and left it there, blood began to drip and soak the ground below.

"Grrrrr!!!" he gritted his teeth.

"Now will you tell me?" Leonard repeated his question, but the man just shot him a dirty look.

"Will of iron, I see…" Leonard then looks back at the other. "Anyone here has a few daggers to spare? Please place it on the open fire for me." Leonard asked the people who were in the tent.

They look at one another and pulled out their dagger and place the blade on the fire.

Leonard then pulled the dagger out of the man hand, and then took out another red vial and dripped its content on to the man wound, once again it healed.

"You see...we can do this all day because on my watch, you...will...not...die...without..my..permission." he slowly whispered those words into the man ear.

Leonard then pulled one of the hot daggers from the fire.

*Shhhhhh!!!!!! "AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" once again it repeated

"Decide to talk yet?" Leonard asked him, however, the man remained silent, eyes closed.

"Heh….pretending to faint huh…look like I have to cut you open..." Leonard whispered into the man ear and then kicked him down to the floor, and once again pulled out another dagger from the fire, next he pointed the tip of the blade at the man's nether region.

"Here goes nothing!" he was about to brought the blade down and touched the skin.

"Stop STOP PLEASE! I'll TALK I'LL TALK!!!" the man eyes quickly opened and he begged.

"See? How hard is that? Now answer my questions" Leonard once again repeated.

"It's the Church! They convinced his highness to send the army to invade! if we were to succeed all we have to do is give a piece of land that we conquered to the church! That's all I know! Please...don't torture me any further!
