Chapter 131: Give Me More Time Or Die!

So, they were technically trespassing over the black market, attacking another part of it, but they never knew the rules yet, however that wouldn't be an excuse for them, to spare them from questioning later.

The other thing that Rigo discovered was the presence of a huge force gathered together inside the territory of this kingdom. The number of cruisers there were in thousands, with large cruisers alone numbering in hundreds.

That was a force not to be taken lightly, however as they were all organized in one place, it made his own task easier.

The druids couldn't be detected, as they were considered as mere metal scraps in the space, a common existence there. their infiltration would be easy and silent, and the presence of all these cruisers in one place made their mission much easier than before.

They all just needed to jump from one cruiser to another, which would make their journey easier, and their target to be completed fast.

As Rigo expected, after less than one day, all the cruisers were now filled with bombs, and were ready to be detonated. He didn't hurry to do it, as he was waiting for the reinforcements to arrive, which would take another day to do so.

While he was waiting there, James was fighting back in the recently conquered kingdom, trying to buy more time for Rigor to act.

"I can't agree on that term, who the hell do you think I am!!"

James blurted out in pure, and sincere rage, in front of the ambassador, as the latter presented the new list of conditions to him. The list had many rude and unfair conditions, that if he was really considering cooperating with them, he would refrain from doing so.

"I have no authority here but to deliver the list to you, you either agree or disagree on it!" the ambassador said with a very wide smile over his face. The moment he saw this list, he knew that James would refuse it, and that would be the reason for war to erupt.

"If you have no purpose, then I would kill you and talk to those in power up there!" James suddenly threatened, with no hesitation he pointed towards the ambassador as he said to one of the two guards standing beside him:

"Go and kill him."

"At once," the guard replied, as this would be a really simple order to execute.

The face of that fatty ambassador changed at once, as he finally realized he was under James' mercy, and he wouldn't be that stupid to insult him while he could, easily, lose his life here.

"Wait, wait a second, I can arrange something better for you," the ambassador said, as his face oozed sweat, drenching all his fancy clothes he was wearing.

"Good," James nodded, "you have one more day to consider, and ask your superiors to give you more powers to decide, or else your head will be the price for your constant rudeness," James added, while feeling quite relieved for buying one more day to Rigo, "take him to his cell, and watch him all the day," James ordered the two guards, changing the name of the room that ambassador staying at to be a cell.

He wasn't a guest, he was a prisoner, and this slight shift in wording made a large difference here.

The ambassador saw the net being tightly wrapped around his neck, so he wanted now to leave first thing, more than anything else, from here.

"May I stay inside my cruiser?" he asked, trying to act as humble and respective as possible, however the time for being so was long gone already.

"Oh, your cruiser?" James faked a surprise gasp, "sorry to inform you about that, but some black merchants saw some worth in it and proclaimed it already, with all the men over it. I'm deadly sorry, but I will compensate you properly when you manage to leave here alive," James nodded with a sincere look over his face, while the face of the ambassador was pale white from fear and terror.

The most fearful thing he knew was that his superiors might think this would be a great thing, sacrificing him, so they could use that as a reason to start war.

He knew for sure how merciless his superiors were, and thus he decided to hide this info for them, and find any other excuse to stall for more time between the two sharks eyeing his fat peaceful fish.

As for James, he was satisfied by this, hoping this threat would force that ambassador to find a solution to buy more time in negotiations. He didn't know that what he just did forced the hand of that fatty and made him buy time for his own self, and also for James and Rigo.

On other hand, Rigo waited for reinforcements to arrive, and they arrived one day later as he expected. The new large fleet was really impressive, but in front of this mysterious power, it was still not sufficient.

"Let the fleet stand by the designated battle formation, and let's be ready for going on way anytime soon," Rigo said, as he spent the previous night with his lieutenants drawing up battle maps one after another.

They were ready to go to war, and so were their enemies, who had just received the new message from their ambassador. They weren't naive, as they understood their man was lying, and that meant he was captured and being threatened to be killed.

That alone was enough to invade James' territory, so the order was given to their massive fleet, to go to Rigo's fleet and destroy it first hand.

This was the main fleet of James, and losing it would be enough blow to James. They thought Rigo wasn't ready for them, but opposite to their expectations, he was.

The moment their fleet started to move, heading towards Rigo, entering the area under Rigo's protection, Rigo didn't delay in giving the order.

"Detonate all the bombs, and give the order to destroy everything."

The enemy knew James' main fleet was nearby, but they didn't realize they made the same mistake as well. The huge fleet they amassed compromised their whole forces combined together, losing it meant losing everything.

However this thought never crossed their minds, or thought of and rapidly neglected, as they were confident their huge fleet was invincible, especially against an unaware enemy.

They were already on the losing foot here, as they never imagined for Rigo to be this aggressive and cautious, and even bold enough to plant bombs in the hearts of their big cruisers.

The moment the war started, the enemy was dealt a very painful blow, as all his large cruisers, his scary ships were lost. While this happened, Rigo's fleet jumped in, like sharks in water, hunting and killing any small and medium sized fishes, sorry cruisers.

The battle was already one sided from the beginning, though it took roughly three days and nights, travelling across the whole mysterious kingdom's territory to finally all ships were destroyed, or surrendered to this mighty force led by Rigo.

The moment Rigo had assured his victory, he dispatched part of his massive fleet, to go and annex all the ruling planets in this kingdom. As his men were spreading James rule here, monsters started to spawn, and this created some chaos in the middle of the ongoing war.

The moment the war ended, Rigo sent all his troops back to fight these loose monsters, which helped a lot in regaining peace and calm in these recently conquered places.

As for the ruling family, they were captured, detained in his cell, to be added to his already enlarging group of kings and queens.

Rigo gave the order to interrogate this royal family, as he was still surprised by their steal for the four kingdoms, not believing it was just a mere fluke of coincidence.

This operation was planned a long time before, and that meant they had some spies inside their lines. That was accepted, though, as they welcomed a large number of ex-soldiers in a short time, having no time to make sure they were clean.

As he did all that, he hurriedly sent a message to James.

"We had absolute victory, congratulations on adding five hundred more planets to your reign, supreme leader."

This message made James, who was extremely worried these days, playing verbal games with the ambassador, who was lying and playing the role he was ditched for. At this moment, James finally could heave a long sigh of relief, while looking towards Luna as he winked and said:

"Let's celebrate tonight at my place."

Luna was already hacked by James' hands all previous days, and her body was already eager to taste his real touches. So, the moment he said that, she excused herself to prepare, while he gave the order for the message to be relayed to Islinda, whom he didn't see this whole time.
