"What's wrong with you, honey?" the witch said while James just smiled as he said: "Nothing, I'm just pissed off those weak girls around me," he then laughed before adding, "it's your fault y'know."
"Mine? How come?"
"You raised my standards in women, tsk, why don't you give up your stubbornness and be my girl!"
"In your dreams!"
"My dreams are lewd and witty, c'mon let's dream together," he laughed and he only got a sneer back to his words.
He didn't care much about her behavior, yet he cared about distracting her off his true aim. He hoped his girls would level up fast, and then be able to withstand what he would do to them in the open space.
"Leader, we are approaching the first resistance pocket," the droid said before adding, "Mrs. Dora wants to have a private word with you," he added in a strange expression on his face.
"Alright, I'll take the call in my dorm," he said before adding, "use deadly force from the start, even killing off the entire planet would do."
"Oh," the droid was shocked by his words, "shouldn't we try to reason with them at least?" he suggested yet the glance he received from James made him regret expressing his thoughts out loud.
"Sure, sure, I'll do this right away," he hurried to say as he turned to glance at his screen, without doing anything more.
"Tsk," James shook his head before heading towards his room.
"What the hell are you doing?!!" the moment Dora's face appeared in front of him, she shouted angrily and with bulging neck veins.
"What?" and he acted innocent.
"You are trying to make them all strong? Stronger than me? What the hell are you thinking?!!"
He was speechless there for a moment before breaking out in laughter. "It's your fault not to be around," he smiled as he said to her, enjoying her funny expression and hot temper.
"Tsk, I made Luna send me my share already," she said with a serious look, "I swear when I come back I'll have another yelling at you!"
"At bed? Wow, that's inspiring," he laughed and the answer he got was the call to be slammed on his face.
He smiled helplessly as he couldn't even say what he wanted to do to his trusted women. He sighed before returning to the deck where the fight already started.
"How is it going?" he asked.
""They surrendered," the droid hurried to say, "we only killed a small part of their leaders and the rest were taken in custody. Everything is calm now here."
He seemed quite worried about James' reaction so he added, "I sent the entire fleet to the planet, and that was enough deteretion to make everyone return to their sanity."
"Good," James commended, "go and make sure we do the same to other pockets," he added before saying, "how about the frontlines?"
"They are about to start advancing now," the droid said as he hurried to shift the hologram from showing off the panicked planet into the map of the ongoing war far, far away from here.
"Good, I hope Dora will endure the pressure," he muttered while returning to sit on his seat. "How about my ladies? Have they moved to Luna's place already?"
"They are already there," the droid said before turning the hologram to show a scene recorded from a monitor camera. Many dragons silhouettes appeared in front of James' eyes where they were eating endless amounts of godly ores.
"Fantastic," he clapped his hands in excitation, "let's see who will be strong and who will fail this," he added before waving his hand casually, "return the screen to the war out there."
"which one?" the droid asked.
"Rigo's and Dora's war," he said before adding, "how many fleets did we make so far?"
"One more, and the second is undergoing completion soon," the droid said before adding, "Mrs. Islinda made sure to leave behind her arrangements for the dealings with merchants. Everything is going the same as if she was there."
"She is quite capable," he muttered, "she will do a great job as empress," he knew his strongest girl was her, and the thought of being the first one infected annoyed him greatly.
The campaign led by Dora was intense from the start. Tersos empire proved to be quite resilient, and also resourceful.
"That damned leader of them, I want to squeeze his neck!" she angrily shouted as despite destroying her enemies and creating a large hole in their formation, she paid the hefty price of losing almost half of her fleet for that hole!
"Lady, the reinforcements are here, waiting for your mark to appear," A droid said while she thought for a moment. "Let them come at us first," she evilly laughed before adding, "then we'll let our boys gang bang them, hahahaha!"
The droids and the assistants in the room glanced shortly at her before they returned to mind their own business. She became more vulgar after sleeping with James, and that was apparent in her words, even in her silly jokes.
As for Rigo, he waited patiently while Dora did the risky suicidal move of hers. He knew the toll would be heavy, yet he was glad she managed to create sucha hole, diverting even part of the forces stationed here to go and stop her.
"Acting rampant as my leader, tsk," he sighed while recalling the short conversation he had with Islinda hours ago. "What's wrong with you?" he muttered, yet the reports coming from the deck showed how strange James was.
He saw the records many times and he was quite positive his leader was fine, yet his actions were inexplicable!
"I hope you aren't going insane at this stage," he sighed, as he had nothing in hand to do. He waited until many ships left from the enemy side. Despite apparently not looking weak, he knew they were vulnerable.
"Spread the word, let the hidden cavalry appear," he smiled while adding, "send the word to Dora, make her aware of our move."
"Damn you Rigo!" As for Dora, she cursed the moment she received the news, "can't you wait for a couple of days?!!" she shook her head before waving her hand, "spread the orders, let the hidden boys befall on the incoming reinforcements and the rear of the enemy."
"What about us?" the droid sitting nearby asked.
"Deploy our forces, we'll continue our crazy assault and eat them up from inside out."
The fight on her side was bloody and brutal, and she didn't hold back at all even when the hidden fleets came like doomsday upon the Terases fleets.
The war extended to cover over dozens of small sectors, and the fight stretched even to the peaceful planets.
Many lives were lost, yet Dora never paused her crazy attacks. She was pissed off James and his sudden decision to support all the women in his harem but her!
"Just wait, do you think I'm this useless to you?" she promised while she kept pushing the entire fleet to chase down her enemies.
As for Rigo, the fight at his place was simpler. The sudden appearance of the fleet gave his enemies a scare, and that created enough chaos for his fleet to step in.
And the fight started to be one sided slaughter from the early moments onward.
As for James, he watched all this unfolding in front of his very eyes. "That girl… she lost a lot already, why keep pushing this hard?" he shook his head while glancing over Rigo's side. "Can't she learn something or two from Rigo? He devastated his enemy with losing less than one tenth of his fleet! Not more than two thirds of it!!"
"I think her role helped Rigo a lot," the droid said in hesitation, while he added, "without her crazy moves, Rigo would have lost more."
"I know," James shook his head, while adding, "but this loss… I'm sure if she played like Rigo and didn't act this rash, the total toll wouldn't escalate to such heights!"
"She might have some plans for the new fleets," the droid suggested.
"I bet she is," James agreed just before he felt himself being sucked away from his seat. "Wow, this fast!" he muttered while he appeared the next moment inside the strange world.
"You've been so busy lately," the sound came again softly to his ears. "meeting two giants and being poisoned by one of them, that's a lot!"
"Wow, you know everything!" James was speechless for a moment there before hurrying to add, "do you know what's going on?"
"Sure," she replied, "I can tell a lot, but first let me take the annoying listening ears of that witch away off here," the voice said before James felt his body floating in the air for a moment and the next a semi-transparent body of him appeared next to him, closing his eyes and looking peaceful.
"Wow, who is that?" he asked.
"He is you, a clone of yours to keep that witch busy," the sound said before she added, "go and keep things normal back at the cruiser."
