Toothless and the others followed Nathan to attack Divine Realm. Initially, they were filled with fear and uncertainty.
But after a few days of battle, not only did Earth Fleet successfully conquer Divine Realm's Tribulation Sphere, they also captured Tribulation Lord. In these past few days, they had been directly defeating the vanguard fleet sent by King William.
Hence, their confidence was soaring at this moment.
There was no fear left in them.
Upon hearing Nathan's question, Toothless and the others burst into laughter.
Toothless sneered at King William in the video, “We dare to come here, so we’re not afraid of you.
“On the contrary, it's you who have been repeatedly defeated in battle.
“King William, if you surrender now and choose to join us, I might be able to plead for your life with Commander Cross. How does that sound?”
Rocky, Octaclaw, Bluer, Solo, and the others all burst into hearty laughter.
King William's face turned blue!
In the past, when the space pirates encountered Gods, they were as timid as mice before a cat. Now, they dared to be so brazen in his presence.
This is truly unimaginable and unforgivable.
Fuming, Fleming, one of the four Marshalls behind him, raised his voice. “Grand Marshall, these guys are stubborn and unyielding. I see no point in further discussions. Let's go straight to war!”
The other three Marshalls also chimed in, “Yes, let's go straight into battle!”
Actually, King William had always been eager for battle, but these past few days, they had witnessed the formidable strength of Earth Fleet.
Even if they mobilized the entire army and fight to the end, it was still uncertain which side would win or lose!
Hence, there was nothing much he could do.
Moreover, Nathan still held a large number of important hostages, including Tribulation Lord in his hands. In fact, the entire Adversia was filled with citizens taken as captives.
Once the battle began, Gods were likely to suffer heavy casualties. Even if they won, it's likely to be a pyrrhic victory. Such a brutal outcome was something Gods could not afford!
However, his subordinates were right. If negotiations proved ineffective, then they had no choice but to fight.
Therefore, with gritted teeth, he was just about to declare war.
But his moment of hesitation was caught by Nathan.
