Hal blinked.
He had not really been expecting such a speedy surrender. He expected a bit of a fight. He wanted to truly break the Chief, alas, all of that want and expectation eluded him all because Orlon was a coward.
As for Orlon, who could blame him for not even trying to face the monster before him?
Dorgroth, a stronger being with more experience lost his life in combat against this monster and his throne fell into the hands of someone who embraced all of Hal's stipulations, so what hope was there for Orlon in resistance?
Also, the three other rulers of the Continent had surrendered to Hal's stipulations and due to his private transportation channel, they could enter and exit wherever they wished on the Dystopian Continent. If Orlon were to resist, he would have to do so with a ready mind of fighting against the Devil Tribe, the Phoenix Clan, and very likely the Dragon Clan as well.
