Amidst the relentless bombardment by the Elves, the upper echelons of the Empire had completely collapsed.
They gathered in front of the Imperial Palace, demanding that Emperor Pedeplos let them out.
Such a frantic demand, how could it be permitted.
Emperor Pedeplos looked angrily at these foolish individuals, some were even Imperial Relatives, others related to him by marriage.
"Let you out? Under these circumstances! How could I let you out?
Look at the power and density of the bombardment!
If the Barrier closes for even half a second, the entire Imperial City would vanish!
We, too, would all lose our lives!"
One of the nobles shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, at this point, there's no need for you to pretend anymore.
I don't believe that as Emperor, you haven't prepared any means of escape?
Did the Pedeplos Family not secretly construct a Teleportation Array in the Imperial Palace?
Don't take us for fools!
And don't think of sneaking away and leaving us here to die!
