章 147: Military report

"Put all those people in complete isolation. Ensure zero contact with anyone. Their food will be the same every day—a simple piece of bread with water. Also, disrupt their sleeping pattern with loud noises at irregular times." Vlad's eyes were cold as he uttered those words.

Grand Marshal Anglius' eyes narrowed as he heard those words. While that sort of sentence might seem mild, his military training told him the truth: that form of punishment was horrifying. People are social creatures, and their minds crave patterns. Stripping them of these would break them from the inside out.

Complete and utter isolation is considered a form of psychological torture that could break even the strongest minds, and the disruption of sleep patterns would lead to severe mental deterioration, capable of inducing madness in those too weak to endure it.
