Galaxy Wars: The Legacy of Light and Darkness

Chapter 165: Don't Be Late Or Else You Will Miss The Prize

This attack came suddenly without a warning, but the thing was that James and others knew this attack wouldn't succeed alone.

The base wasn't only protected by this external shield, but there was another one internal, surrounding the planets inside the base. It was said, according to the words of Anasta and other gossips from James' allies, that this shield was sturdier than the external natural one.

However, Rigo managed to crack its secret not long ago. The shield worked by harvesting the energy from the black holes surrounding the place, and it did this on pulses, with time intervals to charge and restart the shield again.

That was the reason they decided to use such a wide range, irregular attack over the shield. If they used the missiles, then they would all hit the shield in regular places, easy to be anticipated and defended against, however using such a huge wreckage with no rule or pattern would help in rapidly depleting the stored energy of the shield, trying to cover a wider space and making it active for longer duration.

"Fire at will!"

Rigo's word came to make another attack follow the first one, and the third, and fourth, and so on. they kept throwing anything with wreckage for days, constantly consuming the shield.

From time to time, they would support the waves by firing many missiles, however they knew the effect of cannons wasn't that good, so it wasn't favorable to do that.

After days, the mighty shield finally cracked, and the whole planets underneath were threatened to be burnt down. This was so apparent to everyone living inside these worlds, and that caused massive panic in people living there.

"We want to escape, provide exits for poor people like us!"

"Let us go, let us out!"

"We want fair and protection, take us away, we don't want to be burnt alive here!"

More and more shouts started to appear, mostly coming from the seeds of chaos James planted there. Within hours, these individuals' shouts and claims started to turn into massive uproar, and the simple single merchants of protest turned into riots.

The worlds under the shield were starting to burn, internally, as they were pushed far by James' seeds of chaos.

However, the response of the local authority came swiftly by using extreme violence against the riots. When the first man fell, James knew the time for the whole world in this base to explode on themselves, tear everything apart with their own hands was drawing near.

And he smiled, faintly glancing at his two women, one in his hand, squeezing and gently massaging her sensitive lumps, small or big, and the other was now in Rigo's cruiser, with her face presented on a side screen, showing to him how dedicated and concentrated she was.

This was a very delicate moment, either she guided her men to act fast and seize the chance, creating a chain reaction that couldn't be stopped anymore, or the fire would die down, losing its initial momentum and effects, while leaving everything in the hands of destiny.

And destiny always favored stabilization, that was a known fact to her!

So she started pressing over her men, making them do reckless moves, shout to gather others, attack the local forces, or even start a wider wave of riot and destruction; everything was limitless to her as long as she would reach her goal.

And she finally managed to reach it after many setbacks and after losing many of her seeds.

It started in a single world, a wave of protesters responded to the screams of help coming from one of Dora's seeds. This started the first direct confrontation between the people and the local forces.

The fight got escalated and widened, reaching places that made it hard to be controlled anymore.

And this wasn't the end of it, as Dora gave the order to mimic the previous experience, leading to marvelous results.

World after world started to fall in riots, like a giant snowball being formed from a tiny one, while being unstoppable, moving towards the edge of the mountain to cause an avalanche, enough to kill everyone!

"Boom!"

And at this decisive moment, the shield finally broke upon itself, and all the gathered burning wreckage over these days fell inside the base.

It was a very magnificent scene to behold, where dozens of planets were eaten away, completely destroyed by the fall of these fires. The destruction took days to end, and after a couple of days the shield was raised up again, however everyone saw what happened, and the surviving lot knew for sure about the death of those unfortunate to live in the destroyed region.

"Fire again!"

And Rigo took the order of James to attack once more, and the scene of the burning wreckage falling towards everyone caused those who were sticking to the last bit of sanity in them to go lunatics.

And the real riots just started to happen right now!

The screen broadcasted part of the real events currently occurring inside the base, but Dora knew better than anyone else how bloody and chaotic things were inside right now.

She was at war, and they were her enemies, the enemies of her man, so she didn't feel any sympathy towards the base as a whole, but she was feeling bad for the citizens living there, as many were innocently being kept hostage, with nothing they did to suffer all this.

However, she also knew this was the brutality, the cruel ugly face of any war, and she had to stiffen herself up, firm her heart, so she could see such scenes and not break internally first.

"Supreme leader, a new message came from the other frontlines," Rigo hurried to speak to James once he received this message, as he directed it to him. Anasta fought her laziness and the softness that haunted her and adjusted her position to see what was this message about.

As she expected, and per James' guess, this message was all about the retreat of the black crows forces from everywhere.

The message came from Anasta's home force, announcing the sudden retreat of the black crows from all of their territories, leaving the dirty rebels alone in face of their cannons.

They promised once they finished with the local riots, they would move at once to help in exterminating the black crowes. James thought for a moment before writing to Rigo what he should reply to them.

When Anasta read the message, she inwardly sighed; James wasn't merciful and let them alone with their losses, but intended to deepen them. Rigo received the message, read it and sent it with a content smile over his face.

James just sent them his best wishes and informed them that the moment he would take control of the whole base, and in result the whole territory of the black crowes, he would instantly start distributing the region over the present forces with him.

So, he asked them to take their times, but not too much of it, so they would be present at the needed time.

The message was simple, yet the stakes in it were massive. Anasta's force intended not to come, excusing themselves with the presence of the rebels in their lands.

James knew this, Anasta knew this, even Rigo and Dora knew this, and the response of James was directed towards stopping them from not coming, or else they would lose a very large piece of space, something they paid a hefty price to get so far.

So, James tied up their hands, simply by this he put them on a single track, making them unable to retreat, or even delay from going to join the fight.

He didn't need their support, as far as he knew his plan was perfect and his attack would be pointless to resist. However, he didn't want to be alone even in front of a dying enemy.

Who knew what this enemy would pull in his most desperate moments? Plus his main target was to weaken the other forces, not ending up losing many of his own, biting what he couldn't chew!

So he decided to make them, or literally enforce them into joining the war with him or else he would have the moral right to keep the gains for himself with no one to blame but themselves, not him.

Soon after this message, other messages came from the other five forces. They weren't trying to avoid coming, instead they were just asking for a couple of days to repair their fleets before coming, and James also instructed Rigo to send them the same message he sent to Anasta's forces.

And simply like this, the allied forces with him were enforced to come, with no option but not to lose such a gain after paying such a price. This all started as they chose to ally themselves with him, and so he wouldn't make them suffer much more, without a proper reason of course.

For him, they were all just his subjects, yet they didn't know that, or they didn't announce that loud enough.
