"General Pennis, the Governor of Gaul hopes that you will enter the city to accept the surrender!"

"Enter the city to accept surrender?"

Upon hearing Li Ke's words, Pennis couldn't help but frown.

Seeing this, Li Ke stepped forward and said, "General Pennis, rest assured, the surrender ceremony will be held at a Taoist temple in the city. There will be absolutely no problem!"

Besides, you and I are both believers in our Lord, and I will certainly not allow them to act recklessly!

Upon hearing Li Ke's words, Pennis's doubts vanished.

Since Li Ke also knew about his joining the Taiping Cult, it was obviously at Zhang Bao's behest.

Pennis smiled and said, "In that case, let's do as Bishop Li wishes!"

Li Ke then said, "Very well, then let's set the time for entering the city at noon tomorrow. I will personally come then to lead the general into the city!"

Pennis nodded: "Okay!"

At noon the next day, Li Ke arrived at the city gate as promised, while Penis also came with only three hundred soldiers.

On the way to the Taoist temple, Li Ke stayed by Pennis's side the whole time, with a thousand Taiping Church defenders guarding them.

This situation finally put Pennis's mind at ease.

Before long, the group arrived at the square in front of the Taoist temple. The Gallic governor and a group of noble officials stood in front of the temple, quietly watching Pennis walk over.

Just as Pennis was a few hundred steps away from the entrance of the Taoist temple, Li Ke suddenly quickened his pace, widening the distance between them.

At the same time, the governor of Gaul suddenly shouted, "Why aren't you making a move?"
