Chapter 343 An Eerie Feeling
?With the alliances secure between the Germanic Star-Empire and its two neighboring powers the Dvrakian Consortium and the Great Oni Empire things progressed smoothly. The Dvrakian Defense Forces continued to grow in size, and with the technology they were given by the Germanic Star-Empire they quickly became what Erich would not so kindly put as "Adequate Meat Shields."
Meanwhile, the GSE had already been constructed defenses on the Dvrakian Borders, the robotic labor legions that Tia had created had indeed proven to be a valuable asset as they never needed to rest, and were always operating at peak efficiency.
While Erich continued to work with Hans and Tia to ensure that the GSE was ready for its eventual war with Terminus, Mirage continued in her efforts to bring down the criminal underworld. The newfound inspiration she had received from a single night drinking with Erich had proven to be enough to aid her in these methods.
And after another two years, not only had the crime syndicates which hid in the shadows of Germanic Space been completely obliterated, but the preparations for the war with Terminus were completed. This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Any day now the bugs would rear their ugly head, and thus the triple alliance watched, and waited for the day this occurred.

Thus, she was quick to inquire about the only other thing she knew about that might pose a threat t other Naraku plans to invade and devour the Milky Way Galaxy.
"And what of the Sages? Have they begun to make a move yet? Have they detected our ambitions?"
Despite this being a severe issue, Terminus was quick to remind her grandmother as why this was not possible.
"No, they continue to watch and wait for the rise of another threat they have prophesied. Besides, you and I both know that each hive is equipped with a prophetess that acts as a shield against those beings across the universe that have psychic abilities. The Elven sages of the Primeval Era may have been a threat, but they went extinct a long time ago.
This new lot who claim the same name are but pretenders, not capable of the same degree of power, or the same strength of premonition. We have nothing to fear, as my mother has assured you time and again."
Despite Terminus' assurances, the Naraku Empress still felt a deep pit of anxiety in her stomach. Like something was terribly wrong. It was a curious sensation that never seemed to disappear no matter how hard she tried to make it do so. And it had only been like this for the last five years.
Though the Naraku Empress had no idea why she was feeling this way, she had constantly consulted her own hive's Prophetess, which was a class of Naraku which had similar powers to Erich and the Sages.
Yet, although they also felt this sense of worry, they assured the Empress that they had not perceived any potential difficulties in their plans, or any cause for concern. Ultimately, she decided to trust in her offspring and their capabilities, regardless of this eerie feeling she could not shake.
