"Welcome, envoys, to return to the Eternal Star." Emperor Philip opened his mouth and expressed his enthusiasm to the few of us.

"Thank you Your Majesty for granting a twelve-hour truce for peace. This war has sacrificed too many innocent lives so far." I replied.

After hearing my words, Master Feng kept winking at me, and I realized that I had said too much.

"My lords, envoys, let me ask you one question: is there any blood on your hands?" Emperor Philip suddenly asked.

When everyone heard this, no one spoke. Only Daom replied weakly: "Drones don't carry blood."

"I already know everything you have done. The other half of your accomplices are still with the rebels and harming the lives of imperial soldiers. This is a capital crime." Emperor Philip said sternly.

After listening to the emperor's words, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seemed that this trip was very dangerous.

As the emperor gradually became angry, four Gondor warriors came in from outside the palace and stood on both sides of the hall.

There were many warriors in Gondola holding huge weapons of different styles, which filled the entire hall with a sense of oppression.

"Emperor, I would like to ask whether it was the Alliance that attacked the Planet of the Refugees first, or the Empire that attacked the Kingdom of Akaliut first." Seeing my silence, the upright Zhang Baoer asked a simple and rude question directly.

Emperor Philip glanced at Zhang Baoer coldly and replied: "Is it important who takes the first action? Whose is the huge fleet of 1,500 battleships above the planet of Wanderers now?"

The emperor's brilliant political language left us all speechless.

"Since Your Majesty is willing to call us a truce for 12 hours, you must have considered it. What else can we do? Please make it clear to Your Majesty." After a period of silence, Lao Du said.

After listening to Lao Du's words, Emperor Philip seemed to agree very much.

"The Gliese people have a more efficient understanding of war. I am willing to take the initiative to cease the war this time because I am the party that hopes for peace." Emperor Philip said something that shocked everyone.

"Your Majesty, please make it clear." Lao Du continued to ask.

"Three legions of my Northern Galaxy Army Group are trapped on the Planet of the Rogues. I am willing to exchange the prisoners of the Kingdom of Akaliut for these three legions. As for the Planet of the Rogues, I don't care at all, but the alliance wants to establish one at my doorstep.

Base, this is also impossible." Emperor Philip said.

"You mean to use the prisoners of the Akaliut Kingdom in exchange for the withdrawal of the Star Alliance?" Lao Du confirmed.

"Yes, I think it is very fair and reasonable." Emperor Philip replied.

"What about the imperial army in the Kingdom of Akaliut? Are they also retreating?" Zhang Baoer interjected.

"I can end the battle on Akarut, or I can keep King Sidhu, but Akarute must maintain the empire's territory. This is the bottom line." Emperor Philip finally said.

"I knew this guy would be up to no good when he came to us." I thought to myself.

"Your Majesty, I understand very well what you mean, but you may have overestimated our strength. We are penniless in the Star Alliance and no one will pay attention to us," Lao Du said.

"The people of Gliese are indeed very pragmatic." Emperor Philip praised Lao Du.

Emperor Philip nodded to a Gondor warrior, and at the same time took out a scroll from under his body and handed it to Master Feng.

Master Feng immediately took the scroll and read: "I hereby appoint Li Canyue as the Empire's representative for peace talks, to handle all truce negotiations with the Interstellar Alliance on behalf of the Empire."

Just as Master Feng finished reciting the imperial edict, a Gondor warrior brought in two familiar faces from outside the temple.

"General Edward, why are you here?" Lao Du shouted in surprise.

It was General Edward of the Interstellar Alliance and his daughter Kelly who were brought in by the Gondoliang warriors.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again here. It is really meaningful." General Edward said to us with a smile.

Seeing the general and Kelly bound by transparent filaments, I couldn't help but feel a sadness in my heart.

"Okay, this is not a place to reminisce. Originally, General Edward was the best representative for peace talks, but the general refused. I admire the general's courage. He would rather sacrifice his own daughter than fight for peace for more soldiers." Feili.

The emperor said.

"The plan you proposed is not really for peace, it is just to rescue your three legions." General Edward refuted.

"General, you must not say that. The soldiers of the Akaliut Kingdom are also very powerful. They just created an excellent one-on-five record in the Golden Steel City. I am here to save lives for peace." Emperor Philip

Continue to maintain the demeanor of an emperor.

"The Interstellar Alliance will not exchange prisoners with the unjust party. We will use our own strength to rescue them. It is impossible to negotiate between good and evil." General Edward continued to refuse resolutely.

"Haha, you actually claim to be the righteous party. What if King Sidhu requested the exchange of his soldiers?" Emperor Philip suddenly lowered his voice and asked coldly.

"No one's request is possible. I understand the Interstellar Alliance and will not enter into any negotiations with the aggressor." General Edward replied firmly.

"Okay, okay, it is true that such an opponent will make me more interested. Li Canyue, you are going as a representative of the peace talks. I will hand over the general's daughter to you to go with you. If the mission cannot be completed, you can return and I will shoot him."

General, destroy the Akalute star and erase it from the universe." After Emperor Philip said this sternly, he turned around and left without waiting for our reply.

At the moment when the emperor was about to leave the hall, I shouted loudly: "It is impossible for me to help you, an ambitious man, to go on a mission to the Interstellar Alliance."

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone did not dare to express their anger. I saw Master Feng's hands shaking slightly.

Hearing my shout, Emperor Philip stopped, turned around, and looked at me carefully with sharp eyes.

This look was like a sharp knife scraping across my body.

After a while, the emperor spoke coldly and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, shoot all these people and melt their spaceships. I don't want there to be any trace of their existence in this universe."

After Emperor Philip gave this cruel order, he turned around and left.

Four Gondor warriors came forward. Without our equipment, we were no match for the Gondor warriors and were arrested collectively.

Master Jing sighed at me, shook his head and stopped talking.

Everyone walked towards the outside of the hall together. When they walked out of the hall, a steel transport ship responsible for escorting prisoners was already parked outside.

"Guardian Feng, where do these people need to be sent?" an imperial officer asked.

Master Feng thought for a moment and asked, "Where is their spaceship?"

"All weapons have been dismantled and are now parked in the burning yard outside the palace." the imperial officer replied.

"Then send them all to their own spaceship. Your Majesty has decreed that tomorrow morning they will be destroyed together with the spaceship." After Master Feng finished speaking, he prepared to board the steel transport ship.

"Guardian Feng, please stay. His Majesty has decreed that we can escort him and keep him in custody. You don't have to go through all the trouble." A Gondor warrior stretched out his hand to stop Master Feng.

Master Feng stopped helplessly and watched as four Gondor warriors and a group of Imperial policemen escorted a few of us onto the transport ship.

When Master Feng and I looked at each other, I nodded to him affirmatively. I do not regret the decision I made. I believe Paul and Lao Du can also understand that it is impossible for me to do anything to save the lives of the invaders.

In exchange, more innocent lives may be lost in the future.

Perhaps because he read my mind, Master Feng also nodded affirmatively at me.

The steel transport ship took a few of us to the burning ground outside the palace. Within a few minutes, the transport ship arrived at its destination.

The hatch opened, and a whole black field filled with flames appeared in front of us. It looked like a place where the Empire used to burn garbage. In the middle of the field, the long-lost Dauntless was parked in the open space.

"Fearless!" Diudiu couldn't help shouting.

The Dreadnaught in front of us had all its weapon systems removed. The Dauntless was surrounded by imperial police, several heavy assault vehicles were also parked in the venue, and there were four air defense warships patrolling back and forth in the air.

"It seems that the emperor is still very afraid of us losing our weapons and sent so many troops to guard us." Zhang Baoer laughed.

An imperial policeman stepped forward and asked the Gondor soldiers escorting us: "Where will these prisoners be held?"

"According to His Majesty's decree, these prisoners will be executed tomorrow morning and the spaceship will be burned. Does this spaceship still have attack power?" the Gondor warriors asked, rolling their eyes.

"All weapons and power system energy have been removed. Currently, this spacecraft has lost any threat of force." The Imperial Police replied.

"It seems that General Edward is right. The emperor has no good intentions and has already planned to destroy our retreat." I thought to myself.

"Then lock everyone in the cargo hold. Twenty Praetorian Guards will be arranged to defend the spaceship. I and several other Gondor warriors will be stationed at the four corners of the spacecraft. No accidents are allowed to happen." The Gondor warrior ordered.

"Yes!" the Imperial Police replied.

Twenty Imperial Guardsmen immediately came forward and escorted us towards the cargo bay of the Dauntless.

The entire interior of the Dauntless has been completely destroyed by the Imperial Police, and many equipment has been dismantled and smashed.

Seeing the spacecraft we once called home destroyed in this state, everyone's hearts are filled with anger.

After passing through the layers of sentries set up by the Imperial Guards, we came to the cargo hold of the Dauntless. The valuables in the warehouse had been looted, leaving only some worthless food. It seemed that the Imperial Police were too lazy to move it.

they.

After locking us in the cargo hold, the Imperial Guards locked the door, leaving four sentries with loaded weapons outside.

"It seems that there is really no chance to create a miracle of escape this time." Lao Du said to me with a rare smile.

"This transaction was a big loss. I lost all my money and even my life." Daum also complained.
