"What's going on? Isn't this big guy destroyed? Why is it still moving suddenly?" Baron Hughes asked in surprise.

"It seems there is no way out now. Let's go back to the control room and observe the situation." I suggested.

Following my suggestion, everyone immediately returned to Pogui's control room.

A horrific scene that we have never imagined appears before us.

I saw two thick steel ropes hanging on both sides of Pogui's body. The other ends of the two chains were hung on the two Galaxy-class battleships outside the cave entrance. They were pulling us slowly towards the city.

A strange area opens outside the door.

Outside the collapsed city gate and beside the steep mountain wall, the Holy Empire army created a strange area.

A circular and constantly rotating space, similar to the interface of a black hole, hovers in front of us. In this space, a dark green lava that resembles fusion on the surface of a star shines, rolling violently.

"Oh my god, what is this?" Diudiu asked in surprise.

"I don't know. I've never seen it, and I haven't seen any relevant records in history books." Baron Hughes replied.

"Gate to hell." I was so shocked that I spat out these four words.

"Advisor Zangyue, have you seen this? What kind of weapon is this?" Corgi asked.

"I haven't seen it, I just think it is a gate to hell, but it is obviously going to send us to another dimension and burn us alive." I replied.

After hearing my words, everyone couldn't help but open their eyes in horror.

"The waning moon, that place looks like a gate of time. The other end of the gate is similar to the core of a star." Diudiu analyzed.

"No matter what it is, it must be a very scary place." I replied helplessly to Diudiu.

"It seems that everyone is going to die here together. I didn't expect that the enemy would trap and destroy us in this way. Such a vicious method has violated the imperial convention." Baron Hughes sighed.

Pogui was pulled by the battleship and slowly sailed towards the gate of hell, which also heralded that our group was about to bid farewell to this world.

Due to the loss of communication, I couldn't hear what was happening in the outside world at all, but I noticed that the mutual attacks between the two sides seemed to have stopped.

What I have never been able to understand is why the empire would create such complicated shapes to eliminate us soldiers.

The revolving gate of hell is getting closer and closer, and through the steel, I can feel the scorching heat of the rushing lava in another space.

Pogui is less than ten meters away from the gate of hell.

"I am very lucky to be able to fight with you all. I hope I will have another chance in the next life." Baron Hughes said emotionally.

I picked up Diudiu and waited for the last moment to come.

Suddenly, Pogui, who was moving slowly, stopped.

The members of the death squad couldn't believe their feelings, but this big guy really stopped before entering the gate of time.

"What happened?" asked Baron Hughes.

"Baron, come and see, the city gate is open." Corgi shouted excitedly.

Everyone immediately stood up and looked out the window, only to see the second city gate slowly opening.

An incredible scene appeared, which I found extremely incomprehensible.

A group of soldiers from the Akaliut Kingdom escorted Zhang Baoer, Daom and Lao Du out.

Several imperial soldiers stepped forward and seemed to be performing a handover ceremony. Within a few minutes, Zhang Baoer and Lao Du were handed over from the soldiers of the Akaliut Kingdom.

"What are these three guys doing?" I couldn't help but ask.

"How could they be handed over to the Eternal Stars as bargaining chips?" Diudiu also felt strange and said.

Within a few minutes, I heard the sound of the Pogui entrance door being opened.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Baoer, Daomu, Lao Du, and several imperial soldiers appeared in front of me.

"What is going on? How could you..." I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Seeing that you were about to be burned to death, Zhang Baoer became anxious." Lao Du said.

"What earth-shattering thing have you done again?" I asked Zhang Baoer.

"Dear envoys, His Majesty has decreed that in exchange for protecting their safety, a 12-hour temporary truce will be granted." An imperial officer said to me.

I was completely stunned and was about to ask what happened when I suddenly saw Zhang Baoer winking at me.

Seeing Paul's signal, I shut up and followed Zhang Paul out of Pogui.

Deisler and several soldiers from the Kingdom of Achillea were waiting for us at the gate of Pogui. Seeing Baron Hughes, he seemed very excited. There was a temporary truce for 12 hours. I don’t know what caused it, but it was indeed

It brought a long-lost moment of peace to the soldiers who were fighting fiercely.

The imperial soldiers made no attempt to stop Baron Hughes and the other two suicide squad members. The baron followed Deisler back to the inner city.

Just as Baron Hughes turned around, he suddenly turned around and called me.

I walked forward, and Baron Hughes approached me and whispered into my ear: "You must not help the empire to attack us, otherwise I will definitely shoot back, although I don't want to do this in my heart."

"Don't worry, I, Li Canyue, will not do anything that goes against justice." I replied firmly.

After saying goodbye, I followed Zhang Baoer, Daomu and Lao Du, leading Diudiu to the phalanx of imperial soldiers.

Things changed so quickly. Before, I was fighting fiercely with imperial soldiers, and suddenly I became an ambassador of the empire. It's a little hard for me to understand.

We followed the Eternal Star soldiers out of the gate. A transport ship had been waiting here for a long time. Everyone boarded the transport ship and the ship immediately took off and headed towards space.

Before taking off, I took one last look at the still rotating Gate of Hell, and the feeling of terror still lingered in my heart.

"Paul, what on earth are you doing?" On the transport ship, I finally couldn't hold back my inner confusion and asked directly.

"The empire is blackmailing the city lord and wants to transport you to the interior of the star and burn you to death, in order to force Akaliut's army to surrender." Lao Du said.

"Prince Ged's army has a rule. They are not allowed to watch soldiers die. They must find a way to solve it. This is what I overheard." Daum added.

"No wonder the Eternal Stars want to capture a few soldiers alive and use this rule to coerce the city lord to surrender." I thought to myself.

"So in history, the prince's soldiers were rarely captured, but this time City Lord Andy doesn't want to exchange your lives with the imperial soldiers. He wants to continue fighting." Lao Du continued.

"Lord Andy is not wrong. We are just ordinary death squad soldiers. Why should we exchange the gains and losses of a city for our lives? How should we deal with those soldiers who sacrificed their lives to safeguard justice?" I started to get a little angry.

.

"Lord Andy was not wrong, but Paul became anxious when he saw that you were about to die. At that moment, I became anxious too." Lao Du immediately explained.

"I'm also very anxious," Daum added.

"Paul and I immediately rushed to the command room. Paul told the city lord that he was an imperial envoy, and hoped to inform the imperial soldiers by shouting that you are also on Pogui, asking them to ask the emperor for instructions and try to use our envoy's

identity, and strive for a chance to meet the emperor." Lao Du told Zhang Baoer's method.

After hearing this, I calmed down a little. It seemed that Paul did not go too far.

"City Lord Andy accepted Paul's suggestion and shouted to the imperial soldiers. The Eternal Stars immediately asked Emperor Philip for instructions and received the permission, which saved your and the Baron's lives in time." Lao Du finished explaining.

"Didiu and I were trapped in Poguili at the time and couldn't receive any information, so we had no idea about the situation outside. So we were on our way to see Emperor Philip." I continued to ask.

"Yes, we have a twelve-hour truce and can have a good communication with the emperor." Zhang Baoer said proudly.

"Have you decided what to say to him?" I asked.

"I didn't think about a word. How could I know what to say to the emperor?" Zhang Baoer replied.

"You... then how dare you say that you want to talk to Emperor Philip." After hearing what Paul said, I felt very helpless.

"Isn't this just to save you? Besides, I saved you and thanks to your good eloquence, you can just go and talk to the emperor." Zhang Baoer directly arranged my work.

To be honest, I feel a little gratified by Paul's quick wit to save lives, win a 12-hour truce, and handle the situation in a way that does not violate the principles of justice.

With a "bang" sound, the transport ship docked.

During the unknowing process of communicating with Paul, we had actually reached the space layer.

The cabin door opened, and Captain West's familiar face appeared in front of me.

"Your Majesty, welcome back, Your Majesty is waiting for us." Captain West smiled at me and said.

"Emperor Philip also came to Akarut?" I asked in surprise.

"The Emperor is not here. His Majesty ordered that you be sent directly to the Imperial Palace on the Star Road." Captain West replied.

"It's not that battleships are not allowed to enter the empire's surface." Zhang Baoer interrupted and asked.

"This is war time. All rules can be changed when the war begins. Dear envoys, please sit down. I will start the wormhole traversal soon." Captain West ordered.

Everything went according to the normal process in my memory. A few minutes later, I was far away from the battlefield hundreds of light years away and saw the long-lost figure of Betelgeuse.

Twenty minutes later, I had arrived in front of Emperor Philip's small courtyard, where Master Feng was waiting for me.

The atmosphere here was much more serious than when I last visited. Four tough Gondoliers appeared at the main entrance of the courtyard at the same time. Many high-ranking imperial police officers were deployed around the entire team to protect them.

As usual, we took off all our equipment and followed Master Feng towards the hut in the courtyard.

"Master, how is the emperor's mood? Who started this war first?" I asked Master Feng secretly while walking on the road.

After hearing my words, Master Feng stopped.

"Emperor Philip's thoughts have always been mysterious and unpredictable. In order to see you, he was willing to suspend the war for twelve hours. This just makes me feel huge worry in my heart. When I see the emperor for a while, I must not say too much and focus on listening."

Master Feng explained.

I nodded to Master Feng and continued walking towards the hut.
Chapter completed!
