Geder: When you’re at war, death’s to be expected. Now that they’ve surrendered, things will be more difficult.
Dawson: They can’t be slaughtered wholesale.
Geder: But we can’t just leave them. It doesn’t make sense to have half a victory. If you don’t destroy your enemies utterly, aren’t you just asking for another fight later when they’ve regained their strength? If you want peace—real peace—I think you have to conquer, don’t you?
Dawson: We need justice, not petty revenge. We are noblemen. Our role in the world is to protect and preserve order. What they have done against us must be answered, and answered between equals.
