Needless to say, no one had expected things to develop into this situation.
The strongest islands in the Mine Island Alliance, Huo Shi Island and Jin Yan Island, now looked like bullied wives huddling around the Tie Pi Ship—their mother-in-law and father-in-law—trying to seek justice.
As for Water Horse Island, which had aggressively flattened three islands in a row, it now did not dare make any further trouble.
The two sides began hurling insults at each other from a distance not far from the docks.
"We never intended to offend our outsider friends. This is all a misunderstanding. We can explain."
"What is there left to explain? Surrender now, and you may still have a chance to survive."
"Surrender? What a joke. You are the culprits who started this war. If anyone should surrender, it should be you!"
"What do you mean, I started the war? I received word that you intended to launch a surprise attack on Tian Tie Island, so I specifically brought people here to help." Wu Jiahao lied without the slightest change in expression, and he was practically starting to believe it himself.
"Besides, we are willing to comply with any demand from our outsider friends. Can you?"
"Who says we can't? We can accept any conditions!"
Listening to the insults, Doomsday Madman felt that something was off.
This isn't following the usual script at all, is it? Shouldn't the normal plot be that these people assume the warship's weapons have been emptied, greedily surround it, and then get instantly annihilated by missiles in a thunderous display of force?
How did everyone slaughter each other for a round, only to become willing to surrender? No, guys, we really came here to trade.
From beginning to end, we never intended to conquer the Mine Island Alliance!
