Chapter 215: The Final Battle Draws Near

The words of James reached both Dora and Rigo. The first was much eager to jump with what remained of the three  fleets that were under her, yet Rigo didn't feel the same excitement.

"Rash and seemed on pressure," he muttered before adding, "and that strange report that my droid sent to me recently," he sat in his seat while glancing over his screen.

Over it was simple words sent by the main droid aiding James in his large cruiser. He said in these words that he felt a strange ominous aura coming off James' brief time ago, then it instantly vanished.

The droid seemed to feel this was a wrong hunch of his, yet when he later spoke with many droids they shared the same experience.

The droid stated clearly that since this aura appeared and disappeared without warning, Jammed started to act bizarre and without any possible reason to it except for this vague aura.

"He said this is related to all of our fate, was he subjected to some unknown threats to me?" Rigo helplessly sighed in a very tired manner. "This leader of mine, he is getting more mysterious and far stronger than me."

He turned to his aiders, "spread the word, we are going to jump in the vanguard zone and help boys there."

"Affirmative."

"I just hope you know what you are doing."

The first to arrive was Dora, and the moment she did, she hurried to deploy her entire fleets towards every direction possible. This sudden appearance of her fleets unbalanced the game for the Terases race on all fronts.

And when they tried to react, Rigo appeared next with his grander fleets and started joining the assault with all his might.

The Terases race were on the back foot here, so they retreated. They were facing a great deal of pressure on this zone, and soon this zone expanded massively to cover a large area of their empire.

"Spread the words, we are going to assault the front," James was watching this war happening on his holograms when he said these words.

"Where will we attack?" the droid said.

"There," James pointed towards two places, the same two Rigo and Dora were occupying a couple of days ago. "Let's not give those bastards any moment of rest."

The recent reports that came from the front stated that most of the fleets that were opposing Rigo and Dora retreated to aid in the defense in the central zone.

For James this was the perfect response to his move, yet this helped in making another move for him. Now the front was weak, and his sudden appearance there would make everything in the hands of the Terases race crumble.

"I can see the demise of this empire now," James laughed, "what will you do now?" he muttered while his fleet and three new fleets moved with him towards the two fronts.

He deployed his fleets to make one to assault each side while he and the other fleet would remain behind as a deterring factor to the Terases forces.

If any side required assistance, he would send some of his ships. The new three fleets just came swiftly in the past days as a forgiving act from the merchants over what they just committed.

And James didn't hesitate in accepting them all.

He needed more power at the moment, knowing that once his dominion stretched to cover the entire grand sector, more fleets and resources would be at his disposal.

"How long do we have to reach there?" he asked after four days of traveling at light speed and watching the ongoing fight on all fronts.

The response action from the Terases empire, coupled with massive reinforcements that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, helped greatly in reducing the pressure over the central zone.

Things started to stabilize there, and any gained territory wasn't gained except with mutual exchange of losses right now.

The numbers of the defending forces escalated to form literally the entire defenses of the empire along with its back in the shadow aider.

"One more day," the droid said, "the new engines are kicking with their fastest speed right now, so we should reach there sooner than expected," he explained and reasoned the worry of James.

Before leaving James asked for all the engines to be replaced with higher tech engines his imperial engineers just created. This delayed them for one day, but it was worth the waste.

He sighed before watching the fights again. "One day isn't that far," he muttered, "send the words to Rigo and Dora, inform them of our current course and plan of action. They should be ready to push harder the moment the defense forces on their sides would decrease."

The news reached Dora and James, where Dora was really annoyed by the current course of the war. "Damn those terases, they decisively pulled all the forces to here," she clenched the hands of her seat while feeling more irritated about this situation.

"New report, my lady," one of the droids said before her screen lit up with the latest news spread from James. "My love, you are really great, hehehe," she laughed before another idea popped in her mind.

She hurriedly typed a message before shouting, "send this to Rigo and James now!"

The droid executed the order and when the two received her message, they both laughed.

"This Dora… her twisted mind is simply priceless," James was amused by her idea, "send the word to her and Rigo, I approve this plan and let them execute it at once," he paused before adding, "change in plans, each side will have two fleets instead of one. We need to crush everything in the shortest time and push deeper fast."

"Roger that," the droid hurried to execute these new orders while stealing a rapid glance over the message Dora sent. "Really creative," he admired the idea of Dora.

The idea was simple, yet cunning and effective. She asked to feign weakness at her side and Rigo's side during this day until James arrived. James had to push hard and cause enough ruckus for the Terases forces to get diverted in large numbers to stop him.

When this happened, the hidden power of her and Rigo's fleets would appear to crush the remaining forces there and clear a path towards the capital of the Terases empire.

The imperial capital wasn't near to them, but it wasn't far either. She was confident that in less than five days they would arrive at the doorstep for the capital, preparing for the final battle.

James' words reached the two, and during the next day they feigned weakness and recalled many fleets back.

They lost a lot, but this price had a prize later on worthy of this sacrifice.

Just as James' four fleets appeared, their appearance came like thunder in the area. The remaining defensive forces of the Terases race here were scattered and weak; mainly formed of wracked ships and hastily assembled fleets.

So in less than a day, James and his fleets crushed these defenses, making many run far away from this region, from this doomed empire.

"Good," James nodded before adding, "give the order, everyone push forward like a knife… all head towards the imperial capital and let's clear all hostiles along the way."

"What about other places, my emperor?" the droid asked.

"Kill the imperial capital and the empire will crumble. Leave those weak flies for later, focus on the main dragon," James said before adding, "what about Dora and Rigo's fronts? Any news from there yet?"

"Things are still the same, yet some fleets started to retreat and regroup together," the droid said.

"Great, they have taken the bait," James laughed, "with our double swords on the nape of their necks, I believe they must be in tarry condition right now."

He wasn't far from truth, and during the next day many reports came in about the organized retreat from the two fronts of Dora and Rigo, while the Terases race was cautiously acting.

"This isn't the doing of a harch, warmorgring race like these," Rigo muttered, "send the word back to our emperor, this is the doing of that man, not them."

James didn't need the remark of Rigo to know this, he already figured this out since the beginning. That man was trying to take as much force from the two fronts as possible without unbalancing the delicate situation there.

"Do as much as you'd love to, after all this is just a fake weakened state of my true armies power," James amusingly laughed as the small trick of Dora brilliantly did more than they anticipated; again.

At the beginning of the third day, James fleets drew nearer to the imperial capital more than Dora and Rigo. The Terases empire couldn't wait any longer, and the reports that came from the front told James about their massive withdrawal of many troops and the entire gathered forces suddenly vanished.

"Getting restless, huh?" James sneered before adding, "how much time do they need to reach us?"

"Six hours, my emperor," the droid responded.

"Great," Arthur nodded, "spread the word, make the boys take the battle formation and be ready for a very fierce assault," he smiled before adding, "what about news from our capital?"

"Two more fleets are assembled after we left, and one more is assembled by our own empire filled entirely with droids," the droid said in pride.

"Great, send them here," James ordered, "they would reach when the final battle would kick in."

"Roger that."
