Chapter 389 A Lengthy Discussion About the Future of the Galaxy

Erich posed a serious question to Daelia and Lunaria, one that neither of the two women had an answer for. It was obvious that the Ghimderi would be a major obstacle in their goal of uniting the galaxy against the upcoming Naraku Invasion.

After all, the Ghimderi never cared for the galaxy as a whole, only about their own personal wealth and power. Because of this, there was simply no feasible way that the Ghimderi would ever allow for the now five major galactic powers to unite into an alliance outside their influence.

With this in mind, Lunaria and Daelia sat in silence for some time, albeit shorter than expected, as Lunaria gave voice to her opinion on the matter, one that shocked Daelia.

"Isn't the solution obvious? We obliterate them? The Ghimderi have been an eyesore on the galaxy for eons, an eyesore which Daelia has enabled. But even Daelia wouldn't' be so shameless as to back the Goblins now that she is married to their mortal enemy, right? Such a thing would be, dare I say, treasonous..."

Daelia was not like Lunaria and Erich. She had no outright hatred for the Ghimderi, and in many ways felt sympathetic towards them, and the lies they had spun about their past "oppression." But she also knew better than to sacrifice this alliance for the sake of the Ghimderi, especially since even she knew they would never go along with their plans.

Thus, in a shocking display of loyalty towards Erich and this newfound alliance, Daelia nodded her head, and spoke her opinion on the matter.

"I'm not so foolish as to remain unaware of the grievances between the Empire and the Ghimderi. I will admit my own fault in helping enable the Goblins in their previous attempts to undermine your society, Erich. As Pennance for this, I will hereby revoke the protection that the Federation has provided for the Ghimderi Trade Union and their race as a whole.

Though I hope you know, annihilating the Ghimderi will caus significant problems towards our goals, as there are many sub-galactic powers who are sympathetic towards them. You may be able to annihilate one enemy, but by doing so, you will create a thousand more.

Is that a price you are willing to pay?"

Erich surprised Daelia with his determination, as he boldly declared his intentions towards both the Ghimderi and anyone who would dare stand up on their behalf.

"The galaxy has no place for disunity and internal chaos. Those sub-galactic powers will bend the knee, or they will share the fate of the Ghimderi. At this point, there is nobody left who can challenge our hegemony. Even the so-called gods in the Asuran Cabal and the Ennead Theocracy have no choice but to bend or break."

Instead, Erich decided to close out the meeting with a brief farewell to his two newest brides.

"Alright... Well, I have preparations to make. I intend for Earth to be reclaimed within a month at the latest. So I will allow the two of you to get back to whatever it is you were doing before I called you. And a final reminder, the moment the war with the confederacy ends, we will deal with the Ghimderi once and for all.

Also, you should speak with the emissaries of the Asuran Cabal, and the Ennead Theocracy personally. They have many questions, and I think they're starting to get an idea about why this alliance was formed.

It would be better to make allies of them, rather than enemies. As I would rather avoid spending the next thirty years waging a galactic war, only to have Naraku show up and fight us while we are weakened from conflict.

With that said, I bid the both of you farewell."

After saying this, Erich exited the call, and when he did so, his holographic projection vanished. Leaving the two sisters alone together for the first time in a very long time. Lunaria glared at Daelia. She had not gotten over the idea of Erich moving his capital back to Earth, and thus would in the future be much closer to Daelia than herself. Something which she commented on with a pissy tone in her voice.

"If you think I will let you wrap Erich around your disgusting little fingers, guess again. If it means preventing such a thing, I am more than willing to move to Earth to be with Erich full time."

Daelia, however, took this as a challenge, and immediately responded in kind to Lunaria's threat, one upping her as she did so.

"Oh? You're only willing to move into Erich's home after he moves to Earth? Well, I'll have you know my ship is packed and I am currently en route to Germania to be with my new husband full time. I mean, honestly, big sister, what kind of wife doesn't live with her man?"

Daelia did not wait for a response from her elder sister. And instead dropped the call, leaving Lunaria in a state of wrath. Immediately, the ancient Elven beauty called out to her daughter, who had been nearby listening to the conversation, shouting in the loudest and shrillest voice she could manage.

"Celestia! Pack your things! We're moving to Germania!"

Celestia sighed heavily, feeling slightly bad for Erich, as the man would soon be forced to live with her mother and aunt, two women who would make the man's life a living hell by constantly fighting among one another.
