Chapter 481: Conquest of the Barony of Clogher 2/2
Dreide who was quite interested in being able to see how Einar worked sat on a chair and watched as he did his work.
Einar, seeing that the first warrior was in the chair, moved the warrior’s head back with the help of his soldiers.
At that moment he placed a completely dry cloth on his head which he slowly wetted until he was moistened.
The warrior had difficulty breathing, so he tried to move with all his strength to be able to breathe the precious air that did not reach his lungs.
However, with his hands and feet tied and his head fully supported he could only move from side to side, however absolutely nothing he did could avoid the cruel sensation of not being able to breathe.
Einar who was smiling continued to pour water on that cloth, so the warrior screamed in a desperate attempt to breathe.
Einar ignored the shouts of that warrior so he continued pouring water for about ten minutes. After that time, he removed the cloth from the warrior’s head and stared at him.
“You liked this little torture. It may not be very sophisticated, but it is one of the most effective as it slowly breaks your coordination due to lack of air.
Now you have two options: the first is that you are going to tell me where the army of the bastard son of the king is located, or the second is that you will enjoy this torture for an hour.
Which I do not think you can hold because the state you are in is very possible that you end up completely breaking your sanity.
But the final decision is up to you. Do you want to answer my question or we will continue with the torture? “
The warrior stared at Einar and spat “I will never reveal the information of the king’s son.”
Einar showed a confident smile, so he wiped the saliva off his face and placed the wet rag back on the warrior’s face.
“I want you to continue pouring water and keeping this rag damp on his face. If the warrior does not want to speak, then he should be brave enough to endure six hours of torture.”
Dreide who had looked at everything curiously approached the warrior who was screaming and looked at Einar curiously “This torture is completely new to me. I always believed that torture had to do physical harm to people in order for it to work.”
Einar shook his head. “Tortures can be done in many ways, unfortunately not everyone can build, but those who can destroy always have the best ideas.
By this I mean that this kind of torture is much more efficient than simply doing damage to the body because sooner or later the pain you will feel will be less.
However, when torture attacks the mind, things are completely different because the body does not have an efficient way of being able to defend itself.
So I’m going to keep trying the other six missing warriors, in order to completely eliminate their willpower.
Sooner or later they will end up telling me the truth, but what do you think of this torture? “
Dreide, who was curious about the torture took one rag and moistened it a little before placing it on her face. There, she noticed that it was difficult for her to breathe.
After pouring in some water, she realized that she had such an uncomfortable feeling of not being able to breathe that she ended up taking off the cloth and looking at Einar with a smile.
“This torture is undoubtedly too cruel. I am completely sure that these warriors will not be able to endure that long.”
Einar stroked Dreide’s red hair. “Do not worry about them. If they die, it will be a real disgrace. However, they will only delay the major fight against the army of the bastard of this place.”
After those words, Einar continued with the work of torture to the rest of the warriors. At night, only two of them remained alive, which they had in great detail.
In what area was the army of the barony camping. With that information, Einar prepared a small group of soldiers on horseback to review that place under the cover of the darkness of the night.
The soldiers got on their horses and quickly started their way south, according to the information they had got from the two warriors.
The camp was only 20 kilometers from the castle, so they rode for about 2 hours until they reached the outside of what appeared to be a camp.
In which they were able to calculate approximately between 500 to 1500 enemies this because of the number of tents that were in that place.
They were also able to count at least 72 guards who were guarding the camp while they were warming up using some bonfires.
The soldiers, already knowing this information returned with Einar, who took advantage of the darkness of the night to be able to make a surprise and decisive attack.
For this he took the majority of the army from him, leaving only in the castle of Clogher, some troops and anything that will prevent the army from advancing rapidly.
After this, the army advanced through the darkness of the night for a few hours until it could reach the outside of the camp.
Where Einar gave the order for the special forces to shoot the camp guards, once the guards had been completely killed.
The army would enter as silently as possible to be able to assassinate all the enemies, this to prevent them from escaping.
Einar did it that way because it was quite dangerous to leave a large group of enemies unsupervised in the new territories, since they could end up in cahoots with the local population to create a guerrilla.
Which would be extremely difficult to destroy without mentioning that it would possibly be receiving support from the Christians on the island of Brittany.
The special forces soldier readied their weapons and when they were ready, they shot at the camp guards.
They ended up completely dead instantly, fortunately because the enemies were cold, they had died near the fires and the snow had muffled the noise they made when their corpses fell.
At that moment, all the soldiers advanced towards the tents and once they entered them they killed all the soldiers.
The massacre lasted about an hour, completely wiping out the majority of the enemy army, leaving only a small group of soldiers.
Which would be questioned to find out the location of the remaining troops in the barony of Clogher.
