Rule 7

Domination of Equestria - T-61 days.

“Did you really think you would succeed?”
Spitfire looked up at him from the floor, it was all she could do to lift her head after the beating she’d taken.
“I had to. You’re a monster. You’re going to take Equestria into a bloody war. Thousands will die!”
He tutted at her, his face a mask of impassivity.
“You’d be surprised. I’m already in the Everfree, and hardly anyone has died yet. I can see your pitiful forces massed against me in Ponyville, but to think that the Princesses would rather go for an assassination was really quite surprising.”
“Was it, really? The greatest threat Equestria has ever faced and you think we’d play nice?”
“Well, you have up until now. You’ve played by rote perfectly. First the pleas, then the heroic stands of the brave few, even trying to find the artefacts left behind by long forgotten races. But now here we are, on the brink of all out war, and you try to assassinate me? It has been disappointing.”

Disappointing? It was heartbreaking. They’d been so close. Four Wonderbolts, the best of the best, hoof picked by Princess Celestia and Spitfire themselves. They knew it would probably be a one way trip. Even if they took his head it was quite likely his armies would tear them limb from limb.
Hell, they’d already taken her wings, and her Wingpony.
Sorry, Soarin.
Please, at least let the others complete their mission. If he couldn’t be killed, at least let others be saved through the annihilation of that abominable weapon.

She growled and with the last of her strength she spat on his boot.
“You’re disappointed? You’re sick! What the hell is this even all about anyway!? What’s it even for!? Tell me that you bastard!”

Crack.
…
…...
Crack

“No.”

Overlord Rule No:7 When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

The chapter where the main six go tto Thartarus to attempt to get something that would help them defeat him was on day 90 while this chapter it's in day 61.

I take there were other artifacts and attempts then?

Edit : Oh, those were negative numbers, got it.

Hmm, how does an overlord tell how long to keep them so they can weasel a few snippets of info out of them, and when to get to the shooting?

At this point, the ponies are probably savvy enough not to tell Spitfire anything important before they send her on her mission. They might even be savvy enough to give her false information. So: not very long.

Why would he need to? He seems to be well informed as it is.

You’re going to take Equestira into a bloody war.

Might wanna fix that.
