They are all men of their word and good soldiers.
They are all loyal but heartless.

They are all loyal but heartless.

Explanation:

"Two Friends" is a story written by Guy de Maupassant. It centers on Sauvage and Morissot, two friends during the wartime. One day, upon fishing, they were caught by Prussians who happen to think they were spies. They were asked about a password, which neither of them knew. Of course, they didn't know because they were not really spies. So, they just stood still even if the German soldiers were asking them repeatedly. They were given 5 minutes but still, they couldn't give a reply.

So, the German officer commanded the soldiers to shoot both of them and they did. This situation shows the loyalty of the soldiers to their master because they never opposed his order. It also shows how heartless they were because they never thought twice before shooting them.

So, this explains the answer.
