Answer:

The belligerent tone would be softened somewhat

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the question above is charged with a belligerent tone, which can be perceived by the atmosphere of war. That's because when we read this excerpt we realize that the speaker is involved in some conflict, conflict involving powerful groups. And the expression "slaughter to death" makes that tone even more evident, and the change in that expression would soften the belligerent tone of the passage.
