Chapter 359 So It Is War?

Almost immediately after sitting down in his office for the first time in this life, Erich found that he had a list of people who wanted to communicate with him. Of these many galactic leaders, two caught his eyes.

These two civilizations were the suzerains of his allies. And because of this, he was quick to answer the call of the Ennochian Theocracy, whose current ruler seemed less than pleased with Erich.

"I remember it was only a few years ago, when my ambassador met with you, and your supreme leader, and you assured us that the military buildup of the Dvrakain Consortium would end once the Naraku Menace had been defeated.

You have achieved your goals, and survived a harrowing ordeal that would be the death of most civilizations. And yet you still have not kept your promise. Rather, you have flagrantly disregarded your own words, and continued to supply the Dvrakian Consortium with weapons and technology that is making their military a force which we can no longer ignore.

The Heavenly Father has given me, his prophet, an ultimatum. Immediately cease your actions, and dismantle the Dvrakian Defense Forces, or they will be hell to pay!"

Despite the threat from the Galactic Leader, Erich was far from convinced. In fact, he was certain that a certain race of goblins was behind this sudden demand. After all, the Ennochian Theocracy could have made this demand any time within the last year. But they chose to do so now, during a period of transition within the Empire.

From the Epp Regime, to the Jaeger Regime. During most points in the Empire's history, a change in regime meant a purge of officials, and a purge of officials meant a period of weakness. It was during these times that most rivals of the Germanic Star-Empire sought to take their chances against what was an ever increasing threat to their own power.

All who had attempted previously had failed, even if some had made significant gains before their eventual defeat. But this was not the case with the current shift in power within the Empire's borders. Every single party member was in agreement with the former Supreme Leader's decision to retire early, and hand over the reins to the young up and comer.

But before she could bow out of this negotiation and accept the Dvrakian Consortium's recent military buildup for what it was. Another voice entered the chat, it was clear that someone else was listening into the conversation, no doubt invited into it by the Ennochian Prophet.

It was a haughty and proud voice. One that seemed almost eager to put down the Germanic threat once and for all. And it was the voice that belonged to the leader of the civilization that presided over the Great Oni Empire as their masters.

"So... It is war, then?"

Erich did not express any emotion, instead he sat in his seat calmly, as he responded to this arrogant ultimatum with complete and utter defiance.

"It would appear so..."

This response elicited a laughter from the mysterious figure who revealed his holographic projection. There was a conceited and excited look on the alien creature's eyes, as he boasted with such arrogance even Erich felt a bit of delight at the idea of exterminating his race once and for all..

'Good... Good... It is about time someone put you up jumped barbarians in your place. I look forward to destroying your Empire..."

After saying this the call ended, war had just been declared between the newly founded Triple Alliance, and one backed by the all-powerful Ghimderi Trade Union. And it had happened on Erich's first day as the new supreme leader no less.

But his people would never hate him for a war. After all, the Germanic race as one of warriors, they revelled in the idea of achieving glory in combat, and with a new chance to prove themselves on the battlefield, against the pawns of the Ghimderi menace no less. Erich's approval rating would immeidatley rise to an all time high.
