It wasn't until the guards beside him forcibly dragged him away that he came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
On the other hand, on Redd's side, each of the soldiers seemed to have been injected with infinite power. They were extremely excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They chased Neptune's defeated troops tightly and slashed them with merciless swords.
Such military merit is like pie falling from the sky, it can be obtained easily,
So everyone flew away like an arrow - after all, every time an enemy's head was cut off,
It means that you can get a generous financial reward, and regarding this, Redd, Dragon King, has never been stingy.
Standing on top of King Ghidorah's huge head, Redd looked down at the soldiers disintegrating like a tide below, without any trace of surprise on his face.
After all, in his opinion, all this is perfectly normal.
For humans living in the age of cold weapons, the magic dragon is undoubtedly an absolute dimension-reducing blow.
What's more, the one participating in the battle this time is the Titan Dragon. Its powerful strength is difficult to cause substantial damage even in the face of modern thermal weapons.
Unless Braavos can have a demigod-level powerhouse or a true god personally fight, they have no chance of winning at all.
In the face of the powerful power of the magic dragon, the enemy's resistance seemed insignificant. The army led by Redd was unstoppable and arrived outside the city of Braavos without any hindrance.
This city-state is located at the intersection of the Narrow Sea and Shivering Sea. It is composed of many islands. Its unique geographical location makes it an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack fortress.
The land outside the city is covered by large swamps, while the offshore is surrounded by towering mountain-like islands, forming a natural barrier. There is only a narrow gorge for the entry and exit of ocean-going merchant ships.
A huge Titan statue stands at the mouth of the gorge, like a patron saint, giving people a majestic and inviolable feeling.
Such terrain makes Braavos city almost indestructible, and any enemy who attempts to attack will face huge difficulties.
However, Redd was not intimidated by the difficulties before him.
He knew the importance of this city-state, not only because of its strategic position, but also because of the huge wealth contained in it.
Iron Bank and prosperous maritime trade can bring a steady stream of huge profits, which is exactly what he desires.
Although his dragon has great power and can easily destroy the city-state, he does not want to do so.
Because doing so would only leave a ruin and fail to achieve his real goal - to conquer and occupy the city.
After all, raising a dragon is an extremely resource-intensive task, and each dragon consumes an astonishing amount of food every day.
If enough benefits cannot be obtained from the conquest to maintain the survival of the dragon, then the conquest will lose its meaning.
Therefore, Redd decided to give Neptune a last chance and sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender.
He hoped that Sea King could choose to surrender wisely and avoid unnecessary destruction and losses.
After all, those who are shameless will only suffer the consequences in the end.
After the tragic defeat, Braavos fell into chaos, and the streets of the city were filled with panic and despair.
People fled in all directions, looking for safe shelter, while the dragon hovering high in the sky overlooked the city like a demon, ready to launch a deadly attack at any time.
Although the dragon-shooting crossbows on the city wall seem powerful, the last battle has proven their powerlessness.
To the demonic dragon, those crossbow arrows were like tickling it, unable to cause substantial harm to it at all.
The people have lost confidence in these weapons, and they don't know what else they can rely on to resist the threat of the dragon.
Since Sealord's Palace had been destroyed in the battle, Neptune and other people in power had to change the place where they received the Redd messenger to the temple.
In this sacred place, the core figures of Braavos gathered together. Faced with the harsh conditions proposed by the Redd messenger, their hearts were extremely heavy.
These conditions are simply a humiliation and plunder of Braavos.
The most unacceptable one is the requirement to completely take over all the wealth of Iron Bank.
For the twenty-three founding families of Braavos, this is tantamount to digging up their roots and slaughtering them like pigs.
Stoss, the representative of Iron Bank, was the most excited after hearing this condition.
He could not tolerate such a request and roared angrily, accusing the Redd messenger of greed and shamelessness.
Other people in power also had serious faces and expressed strong dissatisfaction and protest against these conditions.
Neptune looked at the people who were getting more and more scolding, and he couldn't help but feel helpless and angry in his heart.
As the highest authority in this city-state, he should have received the respect and support of everyone, but now he is facing such an embarrassing situation.
He slammed the table hard, making a loud noise. This sudden action instantly silenced the originally noisy scene.
Neptune cleared his throat and said in a loud and firm voice, "The magic dragon has blocked the entire Braavos from the air, and we have no way to escape.
There are only two ways before us now: either fight to the end, or live in humiliation like a dog.
Now, it is time to make a choice - if more than half of the people agree to fight to the death, I will not hesitate to live or die with the city-state!"
Neptune's words echoed in the air. However, those who had been scolding the most fiercely just now suddenly became silent at this moment, and some even began to look timid.
Although Neptune's words were full of determination and courage, there were only a few people who truly dared to stand up and express their willingness to fight to the death.
The others lowered their heads, as if they did not dare to look at Neptune for fear of being called out by him and asked to express their opinions.
Between losing wealth, power and dignity and losing their lives, most people ultimately choose the latter - saving their own lives is the most important.
After all, you only live once, and wealth and power can be regained in the future.
Neptune looked at these cowardly people in front of him, his heart filled with disappointment and sorrow.
He originally expected to arouse everyone's fighting spirit to jointly resist the threat of the dragon, but the reality was so cruel.
Everyone was frightened by the terror of the dragon, their hearts were broken, and no matter how favorable the terrain was, they could not work.
Faced with this situation, Neptune knew that it was already an impossible task to defend Braavos.
Finally, Neptune sighed helplessly, realizing that he had no choice but to surrender.
When Neptune said to the messenger, "surrender and accept all the conditions of Dragon King", the scene was in an uproar, and many people couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief - finally they no longer had to face the terrifying dragon!
