Chapter 2228: 2228

After Lei Chenghu finished his resolute announcement, he simply cut off the picture of communication on his end without waiting for the captains’ questions . He only retrieved a bloody countdown and displayed it on the opponents’ light beams .

From the pictures of communication on those guys that were still on, it could be seen that all the captains, advisors, and other people on the bridges were astounded and overwhelmed, at a loss of what to do .

Some ground their teeth, looking around to check other people’s reactions . Some were touching their swords and sabers nervously, with confusion in their eyes . Some other people on the bridges looked at their superiors in wariness after whispering to each other for a while .

The countdown elapsed without any mercy . Two minutes and fifty seconds, two minutes and forty seconds, two minutes and thirty seconds…

All the detection magical equipment on the starships and in the control center of the Godly Might Prison were shrieking . Not far away from the near-planet orbit, countless high-mass and high-density objects were ripping apart the barrier of the three-dimensional space . Like behemoths popping up in an intense fog, they revealed their hideous claws one after another .

Shaking off the dust on themselves, they lunged at the prey brutally .

“General, our anti-air fire net is far from repaired for a second launch . It cannot even shoot down an armed shuttle!”

Yun Chenghua asked in a low voice, “What if some of them do not surrender in three minutes?”

“Firstly, there are our guys in the Godly Might Fleet . Under their lead, in not three minutes but one minute at most, all the starships will land and surrender . ”

Lei Chenghu said calmly, as if he were merely stating the most obvious fact, “Secondly, if some starships are too stubborn to surrender three minutes later, we will just command the starships that have surrendered to shoot down those pigheaded ‘traitors’ . ”

Yun Chenghua bulged his eyes . “Well…”

Lei Chenghu smiled and stopped talking . He even shifted his attention from the Godly Might Fleet to the Deep Sea Fleet that had jumped out of the four-dimensional space and was gathering outside of the near-planet orbit .

The eyes of the general were covered in consolidated blood . There was no telling what he was thinking behind those eyes .

It was a very difficult psychological war .

However, the Godly Might Fleet, which had just witnessed the explosion of their flagship and had to resist the immense pressure of the Deep Sea Fleet in their back and the “reformists” among themselves, was destined to be the loser .

When there were still two minutes to go on the countdown, the Godly Might Fleet had completely collapsed . One starship after another, they canceled their spiritual shields and descended to the altitude of a hundred meters .

They set good examples . As more and more starships landed, the starships that were still hovering in the sky by themselves looked more and more eye-catching and shouldered more and more pressure . The signals of being aimed that crashed the shells of the starships were denser and denser too, raising such incessant sounds of collisions that the ears and nerves of everyone on board were being savaged brutally .

As a result, even though the captains of those starships wanted to procrastinate, the scorching eyes of the people on the bridge and their impatient weapons forced the captains to join the crowd and land .

Three minutes later, all the starships descended to one hundred kilometers from the ground and canceled their colorful spiritual shields . They looked like bare chickens in the blowing wind .

All the captains sent signals to the control center of the Godly Might Prison through the public channel . “We would like to obey the command of General Lei Chenghu!”

The riot within the Godly Might Prison, on the other hand, was also approaching the end in the hellish slaughter .

However determined, ruthless, and fearless the captives of the Covenant Alliance were, and even though they were the best slaughter machines, their number was too small after all . They were only sent to the Godly Might Prison when the place was temporarily regarded as a captive camp .

Most of the criminals locked in the Godly Might Prison were ferocious, insane felons .

Those dangerous criminals were ten times more than the captives of the Covenant Alliance . Even though there was a slight gap in the combat and organization abilities of the two parties, it was easily made up by the gigantic gap in the demography .

When the wild tides made of the beasts roared close, the destruction of the captives of the Covenant Alliance was already inevitable .

As the battle approached the end, the guards of the Godly Might Prison had to join the battlefield just in order to save a few captives from the crazy felons to be interrogated later .

If they hadn’t done it, all the captives of the Covenant Alliance would have been torn into shreds and chewed up!

Of course, when the captives of the Covenant Alliance were almost entirely annihilated, the felons, with their unchangeable nature of killing, began to attack each other . Perhaps they thought that as long as they killed enough people, they could steal the victims’ credits, and Lei Chenghu would bring away all the survivors .

Lei Chenghu did not stop the felons from doing that . His connivance almost seemed to be an encouragement for the prisoners .

He even commanded Yun Chenghua to continue sealing the exits of the first and the third districts to the outside world . When necessary, the intensity of the oxygen inside could be lowered, and he could make all the prisoners pass out due to anoxia .

It was not necessary for that yet . The strength of the prisoners could be wasted more first, and their number could be further reduced .

Starting from the moment the assassins of the Covenant Alliance broke his door, only half an hour had passed .

In half an hour, the Godly Might Prison and the Godly Might Fleet had both fallen into the hands of Lei Chenghu!

“Warden Yun, send your most trusted guards to the ground for two missions . ”

There was no ecstasy on Lei Chenghu’s face at all, as if seizing an enormous Godly Might Prison and suppressing the Godly Might Fleet were a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning at all and as simple as taking a toy away from a child . He said casually, “Firstly, search the snowy world in the hundred square kilometers around . I’m highly suspicious that Dongfang Lei, the spy of the Covenant Alliance, was not killed in the explosion just now . His dead body must be found . If he is still alive, kill him immediately!

“Secondly, ask the captains and the key persons on their bridges in the Godly Might Fleet to come to the Godly Might Prison . Tell them that I will praise them for making the right choice fearlessly at the most critical moment, which has saved the lives of countless soldiers . Also, tell them that I will go to the capital in person to ask for accolades for them .

“Furthermore, whatever the price is, repair at least one energy supply base as soon as possible and restore the preliminary defense abilities of the Godly Might Prison . As for the prisoners and captives who are still fighting, there is no need to bother them . Let’s just wait until they are all exhausted .

“Lastly, where are the political criminals? You and I can go and set them free together now . ”

Yun Chenghua and everybody else in the control center found it hard to believe that the entire Godly Might Fleet was suppressed so easily .

It was not until a long time later that the warden finally stood at attention and went to carry out the orders while holding back his excitement .

Lei Chenghu moved his cold eyes to Li Yao and spoke in private, “Alright . You can go to your master and prepare for our negotiation . But until she reveals enough sincerity, I will not go to her starship . If she wants to talk, the graceful queen will come to ‘my’ Godly Might Prison to talk .

“Rest assured . You are my life-saver after all, and I won’t make things difficult for you . As long as you bring the words over, the queen will definitely come to the Godly Might Prison . After all, you should be more anxious than I am right now . With the Godly Might Fleet, I can return to my Astounding Thunder Fleet in the Third Battle Area as long as one of the starships can perform a space jump, but Her Grace has revealed her real forces after lurking in the darkness for so many years . I’m afraid that there is no turning back for her right now, is there?”

Faced with Lei Chenghu who had everything under his control, Li Yao blinked quickly and said, “Well, there is no rush to contact Her Grace . Can I go to release all the political criminals together with General Lei?”

Lei Chenghu was stunned again . Staring at Li Yao, he was even more confused about what kind of person Li Yao was and why on earth Queen Li Linghai sent such a guy for such a critical mission . He asked, “Are you not afraid that your master will lose her patience?”

“First of all, as I said, the queen is not my master . I am absolutely free and only loyal to the true path of immortality and the Imperium of True Human Beings . ”

Li Yao replied solemnly, “Secondly, before I came, Her Grace reminded me repetitively that I must ensure General Lei’s safety . It is my top mission .

“Also, General Lei’s charisma and infinite dominance that you demonstrated just now have greatly awed me . I can’t admire and worship General Lei more right now .

“The Godly Might Prison is still in chaos . What if there are spies of the Covenant Alliance hiding among the political criminals? So, I have to stay by General Lei’s side and protect General Lei with my own life if necessary!

“As for the queen, it doesn’t matter to keep her waiting for a while longer . After all, the Godly Might Prison and the Godly Might Prison are both settled right now . General Lei’s safety is what matters most right now!”

Lei Chenghu: “You are just hoping to follow me and make friends with the political criminals who will very likely rise again, aren’t you?”

Li Yao: “That’s your words . Not mine . ”

…

Eventually, Lei Chenghu failed to turn Li Yao down .

After all, with Li Yao’s capabilities, if he glued himself to Lei Chenghu’s butt like a sticker, few people could tear him off .

Besides, Lei Chenghu did not want to end on bad terms with Li Linghai . Despite the tough stance he had demonstrated, the two of them were truly in need of each other .

Therefore, the first light of hope that the political criminals, who had once controlled the critical posts of the Imperium of True Human Beings and were once powerful and influential in the capital but who had fallen from the clouds to the abyss overnight because they pissed off the four Kurfürst families, saw after spending decades in the dark, cold dungeons was exactly made of Li Yao, Lei Chenghu, and Yun Chenghua .

They were naturally no stranger to Lei Chenghu and Yun Chenghua . One of them was the legendary “God of War”, and the other was the warden of the Godly Might Prison .

Li Yao, however, left a particularly deep impression on them .

After he reached every prison cell, Li Yao would unleash the overwhelming aura of the Divinity Transformation Stage, enshrouding himself in the dazzlingly gold halo and the soul-stirring sound effects, making him look so awesome that he looked like the reincarnation of a god .

Before Yun Chenghua opened the gate, Li Yao would move forward and tear apart the bars, locks, and all the defense rune arrays with his hands that were filled with spiritual energy .

“In the name of the new Imperium, you are now reborn . I, ‘Vulture Li Yao’, will definitely ensure your safety with my life . Rest assured!”
