Chapter 941: Nothing gained


    ?


    These vibrators were all the motivation that the dark elves needed to agree to whatever I asked of them.


    In the end, there was nothing that was gained since the dark elves didn''t know anything different from the ones that we had captured before. It seemed that they had only been restricted with the same contract as the dark elves that we captured previously.


    So even when holding them like this, they couldn''t give us anything new.


    However, they agreed to work with us to break the contract that was ced on them just like the other dark elves.


    This would be helpful since we could at least see that the dark elves came from what seemed to be different tribes.


    The prime minister and I remembered the clothes that the dark elves captured in our kingdom wore. The clothes that the dark elves captured in the Midra Kingdom werepletely different from those clothes.


    That should mean that they came from apletely different group.


    So there should be at least some kind of different information, it would just take some time to coordinate between the two groups.


    That would be left to the prime minister and regent.


    My job was done as soon as the dark elves broke.


    Well, there was still one more thing that I had to do.


    Since I was the one that broke them, I should at least be the one that took them out.


    That''s what I did with the other dark elves, so it should be the same this time.


    Though the main difference was that I didn''t even know the name of the two dark elves that I tortured this time. I had chosen not to ask them their names since I didn''t want to know their names, but that just made it seem a bit uncaring...


    Well, they were enemies of our kingdom in the first ce.


    It wasn''t as if I would grieve over these two dark elves.


    It was more of a conviction thing to take care of them with my own two hands.


    The prime minister looked at me with a strange look and said, "Your majesty, you don''t need to do this personally. There are others that can handle this matter for you."


    The regent on the other hand was silent as he watched and waited.


    It seemed that he was actually in favour of this, but that wasn''t strange in the first ce since the regent was someone that had executed his own father. He was someone that clearly approved of something like this.


    I just took the axe that was brought to me and went forward towards the two dark elves that were mumbling their own things.


    "More, give me more!"


    "I curse you! I curse you!"


    It was twopletely different things that they were mumbling, but it seemed like they werepletely obsessed with what they were saying. It was as if they didn''t notice a single thing around them, even though they had been put in the execution stand.


    I just walked right up behind them and lifted the axe up before bringing it down on the male dark elf.


    With how heavy the axe was, it was more the axe doing the work than me doing the work.


    It was a clean cut that separated the male dark elf''s head from his body, but when itnded on the ground...it was turned around so that the eyes were looking up. It hadnded in a position where those eyes were looking right up at me.


    They were wide open and bloodshot, as if they carried the grudges of his entire life.


    It was as if they wouldn''t forgive whoever he held his grudge against.


    I gave the axe that I held to one of the guards on the side and went forward to close the dark elf''s eyes before dropping the head into the basket.


    Then taking the axe back, I cut off the head of the female dark elf.


    Her final look waspletely different from the male dark elf.


    There was only emptiness in her eyes, as if she hadpletely given up.


    That was the difference between the two of them.


    Once it was over, I didn''t bother staying here any longer and left the clean up to the guards.


    I went back to the royal study with the prime minister and the regent to discuss our next


    move.


    "In the end, we''ve gained nothing."


    That was the first thing that the prime minister said after we sat down.


    Neither of us denied this since it was the truth.


    We already had dark elf captives that were under the same contract as these dark elves in the Kite Kingdom. As long as we kept working with them, we would have eventually figured out a way to break the contract.


    So there was no real need for these other dark elves.


    Still, it was better to have them than to not.


    At the same time...


    "We can''t say that we haven''t gained a single thing. After all, we''ve learned more about the crystals and what happens if they were left alone for a long time." I said in a serious voice.


    The prime minister and regent both looked at me with serious looks after hearing this before slowly nodding in agreement.


    They had already heard about what happened and had seen the crystals that had been brought


    back.


    When they saw these things, there was no denying what had happened.


    They naturally recognized that things were much more serious than it seemed.


    But at the same time, there was something else that they had to address.


    After all, it wasn''t just the Kite Kingdom and the Midra Kingdom that had to deal with the increased monster activity.


    Seeing that neither the prime minister and the regent said a thing, I asked, "What do we do about the other countries? Should we send help to them or leave them to their own devices?"
