It didn't take long before the sounds of demons crying out in pain rang out.
There were a few demons that had already been moved into the cave, but the rest of them were just left there in the open.
They had been tied up and a single elf had been placed to watch over them, but that elf acted like they were tired and kept falling asleep.
From time to time, there were demons that tried to escape, but they were taken out by the elves that were hidden in the forest.
This might have seemed like an elaborate play, but the elves were happy doing it.
As for me, I wasn't willing to watch over this, so I went into the cave and ignored them.
What I was more interested in was interrogating these demons and finding out what they knew.
After all, it couldn't be a coincidence that there were more demons that showed up in the kingdom.
First it was in my town and now it was in this forest, it was clear that there was some kind of plot from the demons here. If I didn't figure out what it was, that would mean that the people that I cared about would be in danger again.
So I wanted to interrogate the demons to see what I could learn.
The demon commander had surprisingly survived with a collapsed chest which really was a testament to his will to live and his tenacity. However, he was in critical condition because of the caved chest that he received, so it was unknown if he would stay that way.
For now, I could only interrogate the other demons.
It had to be noted that all of the close subordinates of the demon commander had surrendered right away.
These were demons that were stronger than the others, but they had surrendered right away when their lives had been threatened.
It seemed that demons really cared a lot about their own lives and didn't have the same concept of camaraderie that we had.
When I came into the cave where the demons were being held, I saw that many of them were sleeping.
It still wasn't dawn yet, so it was normal that they would be asleep, but it was surprising to see that they were sleeping so well.
After all, it wasn't like they were out of trouble. They had been captured and were currently being held by the enemy.
If anything, they should be too worried to sleep.
In fact, the elves and human knights that were here guarding them didn't dare let their guard down for a single second…
It created a large contrast, showing the difference between demons, humans, and elves.
I went over to where Moon, Cecilia, and Haley were.
They were currently surrounding one of the demons who had been a close subordinate of the demon commander. However, it was clear by the look on their faces and the relaxed look on the face of the demon that they weren't getting what they wanted from him.
In fact, the demon looked so relaxed that he was even leaning back in the chair and picking his nose.
It was almost as if he was the one in charge instead of the one being interrogated.
I knew that it was impossible for them to get anything out of this demon, so I came forward to take over.
The three of them were at their wit's end, so they didn't mind and just let me have the demon.
When the demon saw me, he couldn't help revealing a sneer before saying, "You think that you can do anything to…"
Before he could finish, I suddenly came forward and took a knife from the table on the side. Without any hesitation, I brought it up to the demon's neck and he immediately swallowed his words.
The demon didn't say anything as he looked at me, but then he revealed a sneer again as he said, "You almost had me. If your eyes didn't waver, I might have thought that you would actually do it."
Then with a taunting laugh, he said, "If you didn't want information from me, you would have killed me already. So I know exactly what I'm worth to you."
When I heard this, I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows.
I had already come to a conclusion about the demons after seeing how the other demons outside acted, but it seemed that this impression didn't apply to all of the demons.
It seemed that I had been a bit biased since just like humans and elves, there were different individuals among races. This demon was clearly one of the more intelligent ones, which was why he wasn't worried.
Since I knew that this wouldn't work, I put the knife down on the table.
When the demon saw this, he said with a sneer again, "I knew it."
Then after laughing at me a bit more, he suddenly said, "I'll give you my demands and if you play along, then I can find it in my heart to…"
Before he could finish, his words suddenly stopped in his mouth as he looked at me.
That was because I had just asked Cecilia to hand over The Penetrator.
When the demon saw this weapon, he couldn't help feeling a bit of fear.
That was because he also knew that it was because of this magic weapon that the demon commander had been defeated. Even now, the demon commander was laying there with his chest collapsed, which showed just how powerful this magic weapon was.
After a bit of silence, the demon said, "What are you doing? Do you really think that you can scare me like this?"
I didn't say anything as I signaled for Moon and Cecilia to play along with me.
Both of them were confused, but they nodded in agreement before moving over to where the demon was.
Once they were by the demon, I said, "Turn him around and bend him over."
