Chapter 161: The Start of the War
The next day they moved according to the plan put by Anasta. Islinda took the role of contacting the six powers, explaining briefly to them what was going to happen next.
The six forces all read the situation well, and they welcomed this attitude warmly and they organized with her and Rigo everything.
The next day Rigo dispatched a small part of the fleet while dividing them into six parts, each headed towards each force to be stationed there.
As for Islinda, she took the toll of dealing with the merchants, as this was the time of war, and they needed a lot of war supplies, many provisions, warships, and troops.
Things went smoothly for a week, while the black crows stayed silent in regard to this. However their patience ran out fast, as like this they were the only force to be isolated and the six forces were now enjoying the welfare of James and his wealthy strong growing empire.
It wasn't a secret, as if they let things go smoothly like this, James and his allies would only grow stronger while they would be weaker. They also didn't guarantee that James wouldn't use the economy stick to punish them, depriving their merchants from the monster regions and rights, dealing a deadly blow to their economy.
Merchants weren't loyal to anything except their pockets; so they knew if they had the choice between them and James, between losing and keeping their current monster rights, for sure they would choose betraying them for James.
And they wouldn't have anything in hand to stop them!
So, after the week had calmly passed, they finally targeted one of the six forces; the force that Anasta belonged to!
They planned to swiftly sweep this force's main regions so they would deal a good blow to James, weakening him greatly at the start of the war.
The news came fast, as Rigo first told James about this intel, before Anasta broke into the meeting hall, holding her screen in hand, with an anxious face.
"There is a grand fleet heading towards many regions of my force, shouldn't you know about this already by your spies?"
She didn't wait for herself to even reach the round table before she bellowed anxiously and angrily towards James and Rigo. Islinda and Dora both remained silent, waiting for her reaction when hearing the response of James.
As James and them had just finished discussing this matter, and his own decision which became the final call here was totally opposite to Anasta's expectations.
"I know," James simply replied before glancing over the others in a meaningful way. They excused themselves, silently and calmly, as Rigo felt much gratitude for his leader to take the toll of Anasta's wrath alone, while the two girls felt deeply regretful, as they wanted to watch the disappointed look over Anasta's face.
Anasta watched them leaving, silently sighing in regret and sadness. She knew James would possibly think of abandoning her force, leaving it to be ruined so he would have six weak forces instead of five and one super power.
Currently this power was allied to him, but in the future who knew? They might have a shift in wind and be much arrogant and stubborn like the black crows, stand against him and even might try to kill him.
She sat, on the seat next to him, with a dejected lowered head, but he patted on his lap as he adjusted his seat to turn into a sofa. "Come here, babe, let's speak while me massaging your tense body."
His words made it clear to her, so she had to resign to the current fact and went to sit on his lap. He put his hand inside her short dress, passing his fingers slightly over the smooth soft body like jelly, making her feel some hotness, not from anger but from his delicate spicy touches.
"Don't play around and just tell me directly, are you going to let my people die?"
"Not die," he shook his head while squeezing something soft and delicate in his hand, causing her to moan shortly despite trying not to. "I will let them only be weakened a little, then we will move to aid and rescue them."
"Ah," she moaned again, before putting her legs so close to each other while trying to change her position in his lap, but he was holding her so tight that she couldn't move a single muscle. "At least give me a proper response for my people," she finally succumbed herself to him, not able to say a single word against her man.
"Don't worry, Rigo and Islinda are now working on this," he said before shutting down her mouth by sucking her both lips and tongue inside his.
As the two had a long session of love, Islinda, Dora, and Rigo started doing their own parts in the plan.
Islinda sent a warning message first to Anasta's force, then Rigo sent a moving plan to them, as he sent a small rescuing team first, promising the main fleet would move in the next couple of days.
Like this they seemed to be in a hurry to aid Anasta's force, but what really happened was that the main fleet took longer than a couple of days; as they took a whole week until they moved from the capital.
And the excuse? Well, they had plenty, as Rigo used one of the old tricks to hijack a group of ships from the black raven distant territories, and used these ships to attack other places of the other five forces, making the other five send for reinforcements.
This wasn't an easy decision to take, or that Islinda properly conveyed to the six forces. She asked them to arrange things with Rigo, to determine the place of the real attacks of the black crow. After all the black crows had one single grand fleet no more!
So in a week, and after many attacks done by Rigo to confuse others, even attacking parts of the imperial territories, they started to move.
During this week, James played most of the time with Anasta, who had been tamed under the soft touches and brutal love meetings she had with James.
As for Dora, he only slept with her a couple of times, while Islinda and Luna took most of his time.
Luna and Islinda already started looking and gathering girls loyal to them. they knew that Anasta had secured the five power girls, making her not only have the most numbers in harem, but one with the strongest back up among them!
Luna looked for girls who looked like her, vulgar, gypsy, and sexy. As for Islinda, she had much tougher missions than Luna, as she was looking for girls smart and sexy, coming from wealthy families or giant merchants.
This made her options much smaller than Luna, who just had a long line of girls waiting outside her mining facility; girls she handpicked first from a much larger list!
Dora wasn't unaware of the two efforts, but she was staying calm and collected. As once a rebel leader, she knew the best place to collect a huge number of beauties with many great traits without breaking a single drop of sweat; war!
And ironically enough, she was just heading towards one right now!
She was still feeling sore for James' cold shoulder to her during the past week, however when she learnt about James being present in the expedition force, while choosing her main cruiser as his main stay; she totally lost every single speck of anger and frustration she had!
James decided long ago to stay at Dora's cruiser, and so he ignored her for the last few days while playing with other girls in the harem.
As for the rest of the girls, he didn't sleep much with them, only a couple of times only. they weren't that bad, but they weren't that alluring compared with Anasta, Dora, Luna, or Islinda.
So, in the next few days they moved in space heading with their grand fleet towards the territory of Anasta's force.
The reports coming from the frontline kept giving them bad news all the time. lost battles, lost fleets, lost territories, plus many massacres occurring on the hands of the black crows.
The forces of Anasta's force couldn't keep up with the grand fleet of the black crows, as they used a large number of mercenaries; and the main hit came from the inside, not the outside.
As in any criminal empire, many had ambitions to reach higher places and rank. So, a rebellion occurred, not only in one place, but at many!
Some were bought over by money, others with promises of many wealth, rich, and power after reshaping the current forces map into the new one.
And only few, so few, moved based on deep grudges hidden inside their souls. The last faction caused a huge impact over the whole Anasta's force, making many massacres, spreading fear and chaos in the force lines.
