Battle of the Academies [4]

  "My lady!"

  "Send the slaves."

  "Excuse me, my lady?" 

  "Send the slaves. The attackers will self-destruct upon having their fill. Leave the wounded and the incapable. Consider this our way of cleansing our army from weaklings. As the saying goes, an army is only as strong as its weakest link."

  "My lady, would it not-"

  "I will hear no arguments. This is an order, I will have my authority respected, understood?"
