"Psh, a knock-off Dragon King just full of hot air!"
Hudson snapped out of his shock at Belsden's remark. If he was dealing with a real Dragon King, he had no choice but to surrender; but a counterfeit, that gave him some other options.
The giant dragon in front of them clearly wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed. A proper giant dragon wouldn't be stupid enough to rob an army, especially with the line "hand over your gold coins and the princess".
Gold coins, a few army nobles carried some, but the amount certainly wouldn't be considerable.
And the princess, that's an utter crock. Who in their right mind would bring a princess to a war?
Could it be that some eccentric bard composed a new tale and managed to trick this "Stupid Dragon" here?
"Didn't hear any answer, so send out your commander quickly to respond, or else this Dragon King is gonna start a killing spree!"
