The alliance between the Germanic Star-Empire and that of the Elves was a strong one. So much so that the two empresses of the respective Elven subraces lived with Erich. If he needed to discuss any matters of diplomatic importance between them, he was quite literally only a few steps away.

This made some things easy, but also others more difficult. For example, Erich had fallen prey to the same old trick that Celestia used to confuse him in the previous timeline. Despite being on guard against it, Erich still found himself sleeping with Celestia and Sinaria, who both pretended to be their mothers.

It was an honest mistake, as the two women were practically clones of their mothers, and once alcohol was involved, it was easy to mistake them for the two most fearsome empresses in the galaxy. This, of course, caused Lunaria and Daelia to chastise Erich when they found out what happened.

Because of this, the two women decided to “punish’ the man by packing their things up and flying back to their respective domains. Taking their errant daughters with them as they tried to punish them alongside Erich for their unholy activities.

This “punishment” was actually peaceful for Erich, who no longer had to deal with Lunaria and Daelia’s constant squabbling every moment he was not in his office. Leaving a peaceful state to retake the palace on Earth.

Weeks went by, and then months without hearing from the two empresses, and just when Erich thought that they might do something foolish like dissolve their alliance, he received two distress calls from the women in question.

At the exact same time, Daelia and Lunaria had decided to squash their pride, and accept the fact that they needed help to defeat the Naraku hive fleets within the Galaxy. After all, their epically massive ships were more a sign of grandeur, domination, and prestige than they were functional military vessels, and they had suffered substantial losses in their attempts to get rid of the current Scout Fleets within the galaxy.

Because of this, both Daelia and Lunaria were sitting in a conference call with Erich, blushing like school girls who had gotten spanked by their teacher and were now running home to daddy to get their vengeance.

This embarrassment was evident in their tones as they pleaded with Erich for assistance.

“I need your help, Erich. Surely you have some men to spare? We know you’re currently tied up in a war with all of the insectoid races in the milky way other than the Naraku, but please, I need your help!”

Daelia was far more willing to put her pride aside and ask for Erich’s help than Lunaria was, so much so that while Lunaria was struggling with her pride, Daelia had outright said what needed to be said.

But the moment Daelia swallowed her pride and humbled herself in front of Erich, Lunaria had no problem doing the same, rather shamelessly trying to steal Erich’s support from her sister, despite the fact that they were all in an alliance together.

“Screw you and your losses. Erich is my husband and former vassal! If he is obligated to help anyone right now, it is me! Not only do I need your reinforcements, Erich, but we should collaborate on ship design, as I believe both of our navies could benefit from a sharing of technology and blueprints!”

Even Daelia wasn’t shameless enough to ask for this second part, casting her older sister a dumbfounded expression via her hologram before battling with the woman.

“What the hell are you talking about, Lunaria? Erich is also my husband. He is obligated to help me just as he is you and I asked first! I should get his reinforcements first!”

Erich sighed heavily and shook his head. The reality was that less than 10% of his current armed forces were at war, while the majority of his forces were waiting for the first sign of invasion to rapidly deploy against the Naraku.

With the ongoing changes in Germanic society, the Germanic military had grown a thousandfold in the last ten years, and their navy was no exception to this. Especially since most of a warships functions could not be automated either through direct control by Tia, or by the AUXILARY series support droids that could do everything a naval crew member could and more.

He could easily dispatch the forces necessary to aid both of these women’s fleets in their attempts to wipe out the Naraku Scout Fleets, but to do so would reveal the exact level of power he currently possessed which would only put all of the other major galactic leaders on alert.

Because of this, Erich did not want to reveal just how powerful his military was, and instead wanted to save that reveal until after the Naraku invasion of the Milky Way had already decimated his rivals on the galactic stage, two of which were his own wives.

With this in mind, he crafted an excuse to send only a small response force that could effectively act as the spearhead of Lunaria and Daelia’s naval forces currently deployed against the Naraku Scout Fleets.

“My forces are currently tied up in a large series of wars, albeit against powers of varying size, but no less requiring significant effort on my part. I can only assist you both with a fleet each. Even then, if you wish to most effectively wield them, you will have to use your own warships in support of them…”

This was not the response that either of the women was looking for. After all, they had no idea that each Germanic Fleet was composed of two hundred warships of varying size and role. Two of them were more than enough to counter a Naraku Splinter Fleet on their own, especially with the advanced technology the Empire currently had.

When combined with allied forces, those two hundred ships would be the spearhead they needed to punch through a Naraku Scout Fleet. With the intelligence Tia had gathered, it would require a single Germanic Armada to effectively counter one Naraku Hive Fleet from Andromeda.

This was an enormous improvement over the previous timeline, but still, the Germanic Star Empire only had 15 armadas at the moment. Each of which was composed of Five Fleets. Which was significant power in their own right, but the Naraku still had so much more they could throw at the Milky Way.

Despite Erich’s “lacking ability,” the two women nodded their heads in agreement, not knowing that the forces Erich was sending them were more than adequate to make up for their own failures.

“It will have to do…”

“Thank you, husband.”

Of course, the Germanic ships would be under orders to do just the minimum amount necessary to win the battle. After all, as previously mentioned, Erich did not want to reveal his true power just yet.
