The meat grinder-like war lasted for nine months, and both the Earth Alliance and the Imperial Army entered a period of exhaustion.

It's like a couple with a seven-year itch, and suddenly there is no passion. One side is vain and wronged, the other side is tired of coping, and although there are no longer major wars, small-scale harassment conflicts abound.

The Empire finally found out that they still underestimated the earthlings. After the long-term plan failed, they thought of almost every tactic they could think of, desperate to break through the blocking of the Earth Alliance and break into the solar system to have a look.

And the Earth Alliance side also realized that although the enemy on the other side was not as strong as imagined, he ordered it to be forbidden and acted like the wind. Unlike the earthlings, the nineteen countries have to quarrel no matter what they decide.

Both sides felt that the other side was not strong, but they could not defeat it.

As a result, war-weariness spread, and the fighting on both sides was more of a routine than a matter of life and death.

Finally, in September of this year (the earth calendar), the two sides entered a brief ceasefire period.

The empire needed logistical supplies, the earth needed to take a breather, and everyone tacitly retreated, leaving a vast buffer zone of tens of thousands of kilometers.

But no one started negotiations, and the generals of the empire did not dare to make good claims, lest the emperor who was so happy with his achievements would kill people in a fit of rage.

The Earth Coalition is even more unable to unify its thinking, some people want to negotiate peace, some people want to continue fighting, and some people remain neutral and in fact have no ideas.

Everyone is boiling, who can survive the tragic casualties before, but now they are more patient than others.

It was at this time that Huang Mingjie received an order to return to China.

His military exploits have been affirmed, and Huang Mingjie is about to be awarded the rank of major general for his merits. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor asked to attend the investiture ceremony in person, so Emperor Mingjie had to set off immediately and return to the city of Jinding in Dari, and under the witness of the emperor, he became the youngest and most noble general in the history of the empire.

As soon as the news came out, many generals went to congratulate, and Chun Yuhu, as the main general of the front line, was naturally no exception.

Huang Mingjie also took advantage of the situation to put forward several requirements, such as leading his fleet back to the country, so that he could show off in front of his father, such as taking away some war spoils and giving them to the noble ministers of the imperial city, such as sending some prisoners back to his father and emperor for personal ruling.

These are inconsequential little things, Chun Yuhu naturally agreed, and by the way, he also agreed to an exceptional request, let Vice Admiral Meng Chong serve as the commander of the fleet and lead a force to escort along the way.

So, when Huang Mingjie set off to return to Jinding City, he led a small army of one hundred and thirty ships and four thousand warriors.

It may not seem like much, but these people are all warriors who have survived the nine-month meat grinder battle, and each of them has experienced a hundred battles.

What's even more terrifying is that they are either completely loyal to Huang Mingjie, or completely loyal to Mengchong, or completely loyal to the earth!

The starry sky behind him was far away, and the terrifying battlefield finally left sight, which made Huang Mingjie breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

These days, under the fear of death, the worry of life and death, the doubt about the future, the covetousness of the throne, and all kinds of complex emotional troubles, it is difficult for a child who is less than fourteen years old to survive.

But Huang Mingjie knows that the real test has just begun. Everything that has been done before is foreshadowing, and if the last move is wrong, there is nothing.

Eunuch Hong stood behind Huang Mingjie, massaged his temples, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, we have no way out!"

"There's no going back. Huang Mingjie nodded: "Or be the emperor, or die!"

......

Meng Chong held a letter in his hand, which was written by his wife, along with a recent photo of his two children.

The child is so cute, he misses it a lot, but the few figures looming behind the child also make him know that there is a sword hanging above the head of his family. As long as he shows a little rebellion or hesitation, the lovely child will never be able to enjoy a happy life again.

"Shasha", tearing the letter to shreds, Meng said to himself: "There is no way back!"

......

High in the cabin.

Leaving the front line, some covert operations can finally be put on the table.

Around him were comrades who carried out this secret plan together.

Guan Whale Luo, Shen Shengniang, Black Widow, Zuo Qiubai, Zhao Ming, Zhao Neng, Zhao Xiong, as well as Aman and a group of earthlings.

They originally belonged to different forces, there were mine thieves, there were soldiers, they were originally enemies, but now they have become comrades-in-arms.

A few months is enough time for them to learn the simple language of the Empire, disguise themselves as Imperials, blend in with the Imperials' army, and carry out secret plans.

This plan didn't exist originally, but after Gao Yuan rushed to Huang Mingjie's flagship and heard the identity of the other party, he patted his head and came up with it.

At that time, Gao Yuan didn't think so much about it at all, and after coaxing and deceiving Huang Mingjie, he perfected a temporary plan to the point where it is today.

There is only one goal of the plan: to assassinate Huang Eun-ho!

It was a plan with no advance or retreat, and from the moment they set off, there was no way back.

If it doesn't succeed, it will naturally be the destruction of the whole army.

Even if they successfully assassinate Huang Enhao, even if Huang Mingjie can successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor, they may not be able to escape.

Everyone knows the consequences, but no one is afraid.

They may have been little people, they may have done evil, they may have been full of evil, or they may have been inconspicuous motes.

But at this moment, they are shouldering the fate of the planet and the expectations of tens of billions of people.

They're going to do something that changes history.

Success, they are heroes.

Fail, and they will also be famous.

Even if you can live for hundreds of years, what is the point if you don't have the passion that burns in this moment in your life?

Even if you are going to die tomorrow, it will be worth it to think that your name will be in the history books, and many, many years later there will be young men reciting texts in the early morning classroom, and their names will be filled with tears in their eyes!

There is no way back, no way out, no way!

But nothing can stop a heart from wanting to die.

The Maple Leaf Empire, the Great Ri Jinding City, Huang Enhao, and the earthlings are here!

Gao Yuan looked at everyone's passionate faces, and suddenly patted Aman's head and said, "How many do you think we can survive?"

Aman was startled and blurted out: "Seven...... What did I say?"

Gao Yuan was happy: "It's good to be able to live seven, at least not the whole army will be wiped out! Everyone cheers up and strives to become one of the seven!"
