Chapter 474 The Dangers of Direct General Anesthesia
John was quite satisfied with most of the terms of the armistice. These terms met the current interests of the coalition forces to some extent, and Yoda was still very sincere in pursuing a ceasefire.
There is still controversy about the handling of Adam. As the leader of Yoda's army in the later stage of the war, Adam could be considered a Class A war criminal in his previous life. What's more, he once commanded the army to throw burning hay balls into the small town of Taboplos where refugees were gathered, resulting in a fire in the city that killed hundreds of civilians.
This also caused Adam to become a notorious person in the territory. Not to mention the common people, even John wanted to kill him directly.
However, Yoda insisted on this point and refused to give in.
Although a tough confrontation with Yoda is not impossible, the losses caused by the war are too great.
The coalition forces have already paid a heavy price in this war, and starting another war at this time would undoubtedly make the situation worse.
Moreover, the other three countries in the alliance also expressed that the current conditions were very favorable to them, and they sent people to persuade John to release the people.
Their reasons were high-sounding, claiming that maintaining a stable situation was beneficial to the long-term development of all countries, but John knew in his heart that they just wanted to protect their own interests that were about to be obtained.
Faced with such a complicated situation, John decided to find Spy Minister Wesker and ask him about Adam's popularity in the Yoda Empire.
Soon, Wesker came rushing over, and his evaluation of Adam surprised John even more:
Adam has a very bad reputation among the Yoda nobles. He is arrogant and always likes to hurt others, which makes him very unpopular.
Compared with him, Governor Goron of Nantong was considered a man of excellent character. After all, Goron actually paid the price for the hook.
The first reason why he had to go back was that as the commander-in-chief of the former emperor, if Adam was tried and killed outside, it would be too shameful for him and the Yoda nobles.
Secondly, compared to Adam, his son Aten was even more lawless, indulging in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling without restraint. If his father was not brought back, I'm afraid no one would be able to control him.
At this point, Wesker's eyes flashed with cunning, and he moved closer to John and suggested in a low voice:
"Sir, the treaty states that Adam must be sent back to the Yoda Empire alive, but it does not specify in what state he must return alive..."
John heard this, his eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said:
"Hey, that's a good idea."
In John's view, Adam, who was half dead and had only one breath left, was still essentially alive.
As long as we can ensure that he is sent back to the Yoda Empire before he dies, as for when he will breathe his last after returning to the Yoda Empire, that is Yoda's own problem.
……
In front of the dungeon gate, two guards were standing upright, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
Following the sound of heavy footsteps, John walked into the dungeon accompanied by Wesker.
The dungeon was filled with a damp and decaying smell, and the dim candlelight flickered on the damp walls.
John slowly came to the depths of the dungeon, and through the iron bars, his eyes fell on a hung figure.
That man was Adam. At this moment, he was hung in the air like a roast duck, his feet off the ground, his hands tightly locked with heavy iron chains, unable to move.
His body was covered with scars and bloodstains. His clothes were already tattered and soaked in blood, emitting a disgusting smell.
Adam's eyes were closed and his breathing was weak, as if he had been unconscious for a long time.
John looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his heart. He said coldly:
"Wake him up."
The torturer standing by immediately stepped forward, holding a copper basin filled with cold water in his hand, and with a "splash", the cold water was poured onto Adam's face.
Adam shuddered at the cold stimulation and slowly opened his eyes.
When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was John, Adam's eyes were instantly filled with fear. His lips trembled and he quickly begged for mercy:
"Lord John... No, Lord John! Please let me go."
John looked at Adam expressionlessly, with no emotion in his heart. He didn't want to listen to Adam's pleas for mercy, as these words sounded like a false struggle to him.
His eyes were cold and resolute, and he said directly:
"Just do it."
After saying that, he turned and left the dungeon, leaving only Adam's horrified eyes and the torturer's cold gaze.
Adam didn't understand what John meant. His body struggled on the ropes, his eyes full of fear and confusion.
At this moment, he saw the interrogator who stayed behind holding something similar to a nutcracker. The cold metal surface was flashing coldly in the dim light.
The torturer pointed the nutcracker at his crotch, a cruel smile on his face, and said:
"Say goodbye to your basket!"
After saying that, he clamped it hard.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
A pig-slaughtering scream echoed in the dungeon corridor.
The miserable screams seemed to penetrate the walls and spread throughout the dungeon.
Adam's body twisted violently in pain, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his screams echoed in the silent dungeon. Every shout was filled with despair and fear, making people's hearts tremble.
The cry sounded like a wail from hell, making people shudder as if they could feel his endless pain.
……
When the day came to hand in the prisoners of war, representatives of the Yoda Empire arrived at the agreed location.
After a while, a carriage slowly drove over, and the Yoda representatives immediately straightened up, ready to greet Adam.
However, when they approached the carriage, they realized something was wrong.
Then two people came down from their horses with a stretcher, which shocked them even more - Adam on the stretcher was covered in blood, wounds, and was already dying.
His clothes were stained with blood, and pieces of rags hung on his body, fluttering in the wind.
His body was so thin that it seemed like a gust of wind could blow him down, and his chest rose and fell weakly, as if he would stop breathing at any moment.
Just as Messenger Yoda was about to question the other party, he saw that the other party had already driven away in the carriage.
The unconscious Adam was immediately taken to several doctors.
When the doctors saw Adam's miserable condition, they gasped.
"Hey."
An elderly doctor looked at Adam's physical condition and couldn't help but sigh.
He squatted down and carefully examined Adam's wound, frowning. Then he said to the other doctors around him:
"He can be saved, but he may become disabled."
After saying that, he brought out a bottle of medicine containing an unknown liquid.
"This is an anesthetic from Kusha. After applying it, the patient's perception will disappear for a period of time, allowing him to calm down during the treatment."
Then the doctors got busy. They carefully applied anesthetic to all the wounds on Adam's body and began treatment.
For a moment, the only sound in the treatment room was the doctor's gentle breathing.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the doctors were concentrating on treating Adam's wounds.
After a while, an assistant suddenly noticed that Adam's chest was not moving. His face turned pale instantly, and he hurriedly said to the doctor:
"Teacher, the patient is not breathing!"
