However, Alicia did not agree, and instead said coldly,
"If you had co to negotiate with for this amount before starting the war, I might have agreed without hesitation. But now you’ve killed so many of my people, do you think I will still give it?"
Deshier naturally knew that City Lord Alicia was still brooding over Annabeth’s death, so he said with a smile.
"Lord Alicia, I deeply regret the death of General Annabeth. But I hope you can set aside personal emotions and consider the bigger picture. You have no chance of winning this war. The reason you haven’t been completely defeated is that our Heavenly Revelation Divine Country has shown restraint. If a full-scale war really breaks out, your losses will not be just a little."
Although Archbishop Deshier spoke mildly, the threat in his words was implied.
Upon hearing this, Alicia’s expression grew increasingly gloomy. Although she received supplies, the situation was still very unfavorable.
Deshier stood there quietly, showing no intention of rushing; negotiations were not so easily reached. And even if Alicia was willing to negotiate, she would not so readily pay them 10 trillion, definitely bargaining along the way.
A short while later, Alicia’s expression slightly changed as she said,
"Deshier, I am interested in your negotiation proposal, as I don’t want my soldiers to die in vain, but the price you offered is too high."
"Lord Alicia, this price is already very low, and there’s no room for further discussion."
Deshier replied with a smile.
Seeing Deshier’s firm attitude, Alicia frowned deeper.
Knock knock~
At this mont, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Co in."
Alicia called out casually.
Bi Han walked in and respectfully said to Alicia,
"Apologies, Lord Alicia, there’s an urgent matter to report."
"What is it?"
Alicia looked up at Bi Han and asked indifferently.
"The Thirteenth Legion is coming, and they are about to reach the Sea God Fortress!"
Bi Han reported respectfully.
Upon hearing Bi Han’s words, Archbishop Deshier’s brow slightly furrowed, not expecting the Thirteenth Legion to arrive at such a critical mont.
Alicia imdiately instructed Bi Han.
"Have Xiluo welco them with the highest standards and lead them to et ."
"Yes!"
Bi Han respectfully withdrew.
Alicia turned her head to Archbishop Deshier and said with a smile,
"Apologies, I have important matters to attend to. As for the negotiation, we can discuss it later. In the anti, Archbishop Deshier, as envoys, you may freely move in non-restricted areas."
"Alright!"
Deshier replied with a smile.

Inside the Thunder Extre Command Room.
Su Ming, Ferion, and Jone stood in front of the control console, gazing at the starry sky projection displayed by the Optical Imaging Device.
"That’s strange. Haven’t we arrived at the coordinate area? Why is it so empty here? Where are the people from Rain Capital?"
Jone said sowhat puzzlingly.
Su Ming, observing the unusual scene, was also a bit curious.
Ferion calmly stated,
"They are right in front of us, just invisible."
"I see, so how do we get in?"
Jone continued to ask.
At this mont, a communication request popped up, and with a wave of his hand, Ferion accepted it.
A soft, tender female voice ca through the communication channel,
"Hello, I am Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yutong."
"I am Admiral Ferion!"
Ferion replied in a deep voice.
"General Ferion, welco to the Sea God Fortress. Now we will guide you into the Sea God Fortress via virtual navigation."
"Alright!"
Ferion responded in a deep voice.
The next second, the virtual operation screen displayed a guided route and flight paraters.
Following the guided route, the three Thunder Extre ships proceeded. After flying a certain distance, the scenery ahead abruptly changed, as if they had suddenly entered another world.
The three ships appeared out of nowhere inside the dock of the Sea God Fortress.
Clack!
Around them, chanical clamps extended, securing the Thunder Extre and the other ships.
The dock was extrely large, with ships docked inside, chas patrolling everywhere, presenting a very impressive scene.
"Wow, not bad at all!"
Su Ming looked at the internal dock and remarked with so astonishnt.
"Su Ming, I’m telling you, although these won have poor combat skills, their equipnt and weapons are not lacking. They are all manufactured and purchased with real gold and silver, and their performance is excellent! If we had their equipnt, we would have soared by now."
Ferion remarked to Su Ming with heartfelt emotion.
"Haha!"
Su Ming laughed wryly at this.
At this mont, a chanical passage extended from the walls of the dock, aligning with the Thunder Extre’s first disembarkation exit.
Ferion took a deep breath and, with a serious expression, said to Su Ming and Jone,
"Alright, enough of that. Let’s go."
"Okay!"
Su Ming and Jone nodded in response.
....
A mont later.
As Su Ming and the others reached the disembarkation passage of the Thunder Extre, they saw three won in captain’s uniforms, with fair skin and gentle features, standing there with trays, waiting for quite so ti.
Each tray held a luxurious military cloak.
Su Ming and the others imdiately halted their steps.
The three female officers stepped forward and draped the military cloaks over Su Ming and his companions.
Clack!
The gate of the disembarkation exit opened.
Su Ming and his companions walked straight into the connecting passage.
When they reached the end of the connecting passage and arrived at the waiting hall, they were instantly shocked by the scene.
The floor of the waiting hall was covered with an expensive red carpet, and Eighth Corps Commander·Xiluo stood with Alula, Fenny, Butzli, Grelli, Timi, and hundreds of other officers in two lines to welco Su Ming and his companions.
