Chapter 859 Drastic measures

859 Drastic measures

It was either that Scar wasn't threatening enough or they had already prepared themselves for death when they came on this mission.

And it seemed like it was the latter.

After all, it wasn't as if Scar was that kind of a person.

The face that he had was definitely not one that could put children to sleep. It was more likely that children would burst out into tears if they saw the face that he had.

So he was definitely a person that could put pressure on whoever he said this to.

The fact that they weren't afraid must mean that they had already prepared for death.

But were the dark elves that loyal?

No, I knew for a fact that the dark elves were not that loyal and they were nothing more than hired mercenaries for the demons. They only cared about their own race after being cast away by the elves, so it wasn't as if they cared about the demons.

If it wasn't for the fact that the demon's territory was the only place that they could live after being corrupted by the demonic energy, they wouldn't have even interacted with the demons at all.

So there was no way that the elves would be so loyal that they would give up their lives just to remain silent.

That meant that there had to be another reason...

Seeing that they didn't respond, Scar had one of the elite guards bring one of the dark elves over.

He had the elite guard push the dark elf onto his knees and then he brought his sword up to the neck of the dark elf. He held this sword over the neck of the dark elf, as if he was about to decapitate him.

Then looking at the rest of the dark elves, Scar said, "If you don't talk, we'll start executing you one by one."

Once again, none of the dark elves said a thing.

Even the dark elf who had a sword at his neck didn't say a single thing.

Or rather, the one that I was the most worried about was Cecilia.

Once I stopped Scar, I gave a nod to him as if telling him to follow me before turning around to walk away.

The elite guards looked at me with confused looks, but they didn't move from their position of watching over the guards.

The only other one that came over was Cecilia because I had also given her a look.

Once we had moved to the side, I looked at Scar and said, "I want to use some drastic measures."

Scar and Cecilia were surprised to hear this since this was the last thing that they expected me to say.

They had been expecting me to say that we should find another way or we should use the crystals to force them to speak, but they never expected me to mention drastic measures.

Even if they didn't know what these 'drastic measures' were, they could see from the look on my face that they wouldn't be normal.

After a long silence, Scar said with a sigh, "You don't really have to tell us anything, you can just do what you want."

I didn't say anything as I kept looking at Cecilia.

Scar had a bitter smile on his face when he saw this, but he didn't say anything as he waited to see what Cecilia would say.

Cecilia was surprised to see me looking at her like this.

She couldn't even imagine what these drastic measures were that I would look at her like this, but in the end...

She just gave a simple nod.

I gave a nod as well before turning back to face the dark elves.

Wizards are really useless at level 1...
