If they hadn't made any progress after being ambushed yesterday, there was no need for them to return to Xandar. They could've just retired.
The ambushers' ambush was easily repelled. Aside from causing everyone to lose sleep, the ambushers didn't cause any harm to the diplomatic mission.
However, just as Ronan predicted, the opposition's ambush was far from over.
On the afternoon of the second day, when the ambassador and the other negotiators had just returned to the hall, the opposition's ambush squad appeared once again.
This time, the results were completely different from the night before.
The vice ambassador didn't retreat in time and was struck in the right leg, completely losing the ability to move.
If it wasn't for the centurion Roman Day standing in front of the injured vice ambassador, he would've been the first member of the diplomatic mission to die.
The opposition's ambush had thoroughly infuriated the ambassador and the centurion.
In response, the diplomatic mission raised a strong protest against the Kerry Empire, demanding that the Kerry Empire fulfill their duty of protecting the diplomatic mission.
The Kerry Empire satisfied the diplomatic mission's request and deployed a large number of security forces around the hall.
However, on the night that the Kerry Empire strengthened their security forces, the diplomatic mission was met with the largest ambush yet.
Over a hundred ambushers rushed into the hall and launched a suicide attack far greater than any of the previous ones.
That night, the ambushers achieved glorious results.
A fifth of the guards died on the spot and a third were injured.
Just this attack alone reduced the number of guards of the diplomatic mission by half.
At this time, the diplomatic mission and the Kerry Empire's negotiators were faced with an incomparably realistic question.
Should they continue negotiating the details of the peace treaty?
It had only been three days and the diplomatic mission had already been ambushed four times.
And with the passage of time, the ambushers' attacks became more and more frenzied.
For example, tonight's ambushers were a complete suicide squad.
The ambushers who rushed into the hall didn't have any strategy at all. The only thing they did was to recklessly charge at the diplomatic mission's guards and detonate the bombs on their bodies.
It was this reckless fighting style that allowed the ambushers to achieve their most glorious result so far, reducing the diplomatic mission's guards by half.
"Does Nova Supreme still want to continue the negotiations? At this rate, it would only take two or three more attacks at most for most of the diplomatic mission to die here.
"No, it might not even be two or three times. Just one is enough. As long as the ambushers are crazy enough, a powerful enough weapon of mass destruction will be enough to completely wipe out the diplomatic mission."
Rogge sat on a chair in the hall and asked the centurion Roman Day with a casual expression.
Although the diplomatic mission's casualties were quite high tonight, he wasn't particularly worried about the commission's.
This kind of suicide attack was something out of their control.
Even if he summoned over a hundred Shadow Clones, it was impossible to completely stop these crazy attackers.
.. Furthermore, he didn't think the time requirement for the commission still existed.
Protect the safety of the diplomatic mission during the signing of the peace agreement. This was the time limit stated by the system.
Although the Kerry Empire and Xandar Star hadn't officially announced that they would sign a peace agreement, the current situation didn't seem like it was possible to sign a peace agreement.
Of course, Day't, Day, Day, Day, Day, from the diplomatic mission a failure....
However, Rogge still believed in his judgment.
Currently, the casualties didn't reach the minimum requirement for Day's commission to fail.
"Nova Supreme hasn't replied yet. However, the Kerry Empire's representative has already proposed to change the time of the negotiations."
As the chief military officer of the diplomatic mission, Roman Day's expression was gloomy.
Regardless of the circumstances under which the diplomatic mission's members were injured, the ultimate responsibility couldn't be bypassed as the chief military officer.
He could already imagine what kind of impeachment and internal trial he would face when he returned to Xandar.
That would not be a very pleasant image.
"Nova Supreme hasn't replied. What about the ambassador? What's his decision?"
As the person in charge of the diplomatic mission, the ambassador had the right to decide on whether to continue the negotiations without Nova Supreme's explicit orders.
That included the Kerry Empire's proposal to change the time of the negotiations.
Changing the time of the negotiations was just on the surface.
The real meaning of this proposal was that the peace treaty would probably not be signed this time.
From the attacks of the opposition, it was obvious that they didn't care about the peacemakers.
Otherwise, the opposition wouldn't have dared to attack the diplomatic mission one after the other.
Apart from that, what was even more intriguing was the stance of the Supreme Wisdom during this time.
Simply put, as the actual ruler of the Kerry Empire, the Supreme Wisdom did nothing after the diplomatic mission arrived at Hala.
The Supreme Wisdom didn't give any actual support to the peacemakers, nor did it show any stance to stop the opposition's attacks.
In these few days, the Supreme Wisdom seemed to have crashed. There were no instructions at all.
It was precisely because of the Supreme Wisdom's silence that the opposition's attacks became more frequent and more frenzied.
"The ambassador is still considering."
Roman Day replied in a tired tone.
"If the ambassador comes to any conclusion, or if Nova Supreme's instructions arrive, just send someone to inform me."
After that, Rogge left the meeting room without looking back.
The next day, before dawn, a young diplomatic mission guard came to Rogge's door and knocked frantically on it.
"What's the matter?"
Being woken up before dawn, Roger, who had just woken up, asked the young guard at the door in a dissatisfied tone.
"Officer Rogge, Officer Day requests that you go to the meeting room immediately. Emergency assembly!"
Emergency assembly?
When he heard this, Rogge, who hadn't fully woken up, was stunned.
I'm not an official member of the New Star Corps. What does an emergency assembly have to do with me?
Just as he was about to close the door and continue to sleep, he suddenly thought of something and instantly woke up.
Centurion Roman Day couldn't possibly not know his true identity, but even so, he still arranged for someone to inform him.
There was only one possibility, and that was that something had happened.
A few minutes later, Rogge, who had quickly washed up, came to the meeting room and saw all the military officers in full armor, as well as the ambassador and the deputy in a wheelchair.
"Since Officer Rogge is here, I'll get straight to the point."
Roman Day took a deep breath, and then said with a serious expression that Rogge had never seen before, "Half an hour ago, the Kerry Empire declared war on the Corps again. The main ship outside Hala was attacked by the Kerry army, and the enemy was outnumbered.
"We are now in the enemy's capital!"
