Gage looked down the hall, behind a curved arched corridor, where the Queen was talking to a Death Guard.

If you look at it from the perspective of Ultramarines 1st Company Commander Gage, then this will only be a picture of the Death Guard trying to communicate with the queen amicably.

Although something didn't seem right with the Queen, she looked scared, very scared, so scared that Gage felt like she was going to scream in the next second.

Gage was puzzled, for even when the Ultramarines' fleet was crushing Absdu, the queen maintained that rare composure and sanity.

Even when confronted by their father, Master Killiman, the lady was only slightly surprised.

But now - why is she so scared?

Gage raised his eyes and looked at Hades with scrutiny again, he needed to make sure the Death Guard wasn't trying to disrupt the hard-won peace between the two sides.

Hades was smiling, smiling kindly, and talking to the queen in a rather approachable tone.

Gage was deeply confused, but seeing that the two were still talking, he couldn't bother, so he waited with Lord Motarian, who was on the death guard, who didn't seem interested in Hades' conversation with the queen, and the original body was just looking at something in the hall boringly.

The conversation between Hades and the Queen, some small fragments of words drifted into Gage's ears.

Queen Circe took a deep breath, and she gripped her scepter as she tried not to let herself fall.

Even though her body had been shaking uncontrollably, the sweat in her hands was sticky against the scepter.

It was humiliating, but she knew that she had shown superhuman courage.

After staring directly at the unspeakable monster, she remained steadfast in her courage, sanity, and necessary courtesy.

Her gods did not give up on her, and even in the darkness of the night, the gods pointed out to her the enlightening star of wisdom.

He circled her words, swords that could sting monsters.

The queen bit her lower lip without a trace, and she forced herself to look directly into the human eye of the unspeakable, ready to speak—

Seeing that she was about to speak, the being smiled at her, showing her white teeth, and she shuddered again with fright, and almost fell to her knees.

There will be no war, the change of civilization will only be a subtle undercurrent, and you cannot directly interfere here."

"There will be no war."

She shuddered, speaking as firmly as she could, and the monster opposite her grew noisier, humming all the time, as if a two-dimensional mass of black lines was writhing wildly.

No, can't be immersed in the vision anymore, she's going crazy, she's going crazy! The queen refocused her attention on her eyes, and she looked up, trying to tell the other side that their tyrannical actions were doomed to futility.

Then she saw the murderous monoclature on the other side, and was looking at her playfully—it was an inhuman gaze!

The queen instantly lowered her head and hid herself under the hood as far as she could.

"Yes, both sides want to negotiate peace, and this is inevitable."

The voice became distorted in her mind, like a coffin buried deep in the ground.

"But I fear that you and your civilization are not truly subject to the Empire."

She opened her mouth, her vision began to blur, a familiar and warm light feather brushing her lips,

She suddenly shouted, and her voice rang out throughout the hall, and she looked straight at the other side angrily,

"You can question our loyalty! But we've done it all! We withdrew our troops and changed our faith! What else do you want us to do? Aggressor! ”

"Destroy this civilization?! We've already talked about it! Why question us! ”

Hades raised his eyebrows, the smile he pretended to fade in, and he stared silently at the queen's performance,

Gage suddenly rushed over and pulled the excited queen away, he asked the queen to calm down, but he also protected the old woman behind him,

It was also to prevent Hades from being provoked by the queen and making unwise moves,

"Calm down, Lady Circe, my cousin has no ill will, he just. Do the necessary vigilance. ”

Gage smiled apologetically at Hades,

"She's just a little excited, which is common."

Hades held out a hand and motioned for Gage to continue comforting the Queen.

The queen began to weep, and she sobbed lowly, and began to babble on about their efforts, and the rudeness of the Death Guard that had frightened her people.

Gage was a little scrambled to comfort the queen who suddenly began to cry, but the queen was still cursing,

"Is that what the Empire is all about?! We thought your legion was a reasonable person, but now that it's less than a week away from the peace ceremony, why are we doing this to Absdu—"

Gage's eyes suddenly went dark.

A short scream exploded in the hall, and the queen collapsed to the ground, her eyes blank, her mouth covered, leaning against Gage's legs, as if using Gage as a pillar, and then hiding behind him.

She trembled, trembling and pointed at Hades, and the previous chatter was swept away,

Gage turned his head,

Hades smiled apologetically at Gage, the Death Guard still maintaining good manners,

"I'm sorry, I may have surprised the queen just now, and I'm still not very good at diplomatic relations."

Hades smiled and smiled at the queen, and this time Lady Circe did not refute or curse,

Gage breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately the two sides did not have a very unpleasant quarrel, and in the end both sides gave in, at least not to the point of-for-tat.

It was the hallucination that had just darkened his eyes Gage blinked suspiciously, it should be not only he who felt this feeling, but the queen also fell to the ground screaming after that.

"He's a monster."

As if aware of Gage's doubts, the queen whispered and trembled behind him,

But it's clear that Gage isn't the only one who hears it.

Hades smiled brightly and stared straight at the queen,

"I'm a soulless, which does cause some confusion for wizards, and if it's because of my constitution that makes the queen feel uncomfortable, then I apologize."

"No, my cousin, you don't have to be so humble."

Gage hurriedly reassured Hades that peace was important, but the relationship between the legions was also worth paying attention to.

Gage blinked, and he felt as if Hades's body flickered, suddenly turned black, and returned to its original form.

But when you look closely, nothing happens.

Although the queen behind him leaned against him, leaning closer and tighter, making Gage think of the people hiding in the shelter.

Circe gasped, no, no, no, the feeling of warmth before was gone, even worse than that.

For a moment, she felt the earth disappear and she was falling straight into the abyss.

She. She had disturbed the unspeakable, and it was taking revenge on her.

The weightlessness of her soul continued, and the monster's words had turned into a harsh wind, and she was dazzled, dazed, and stumbling through the dark night of her soul.

She leaned dead against the blue-helmeted man's feet, her last straw.

Gage's voice was still ringing, and they seemed to be going back, and the monster began to gather himself, and Circe felt his five senses gradually recover

She smelled a choking stench.

She opened her eyes dimly, and saw a faint trace of poisonous gas hanging down to the tip of her nose like saliva from the mouth of a wild beast.

She looked up along the gas—

I saw a pair of bloodshot eyes wide open.

The Grim Reaper was looking down at her, and in the shadow of the hood, those eyes radiated an eerie glow that wanted her to die—

"Ahh——!h

A terrible scream tore through the hall once more.

Gage, who was talking to Hades, jerked back to find that Master Motarian had run up behind him at some point, looking like he was trying to stab the unconscious queen with the shaft of his sickle.

Gage was sure he didn't know for a moment where he was or what he was supposed to do.

"Your Excellency?"

Motarian blinked and spoke in a flat tone,

"I was wondering if this lady needed help, but it looks like I'm scared her."

"Needless to say, we're done, thank you for leading the way, Gage, Killiman has a good fighter."

The Lord of Death casually dropped a few words, then strode away from Gage's side.

The death guards left with him.

Gage blinked and decided to take the queen to the infirmary first, the poor lady, the silent style of the Death Guards, and their bloodstained armor, would indeed be terrifying.

All right!
