"Now suppose there was a land where all
men were thralls. No, less than thralls, because
thralls at least have some rights and protection in
law. Suppose all men were slaves except for one
master and his soldiers. And suppose that master had
the worst kind of madness, finding his greatest
pleasure in the misery and degradation, the torture,
of his slaves. An emperor who conquered only to enjoy
the cries, the whimpers, the begging for mercy of
those he ruled. A man who had lived very long and has
a great army." Raadgiver leaned toward Nils. "What
would you do if you lived in a land like that?"
"I have never thought of such a
thing," Nils answered. "Where is that land?"
"Right now it is far to the
southeast," Raadgiver answered. "But someday, perhaps
soon, it may include all of Europe, even Denmark.
"And what we want you to do is kill
that man."
