Chapter 421 Devious Plots of Betrayal
??For obvious reasons, Tia had not broadcasted her master''s duel with M. Instead, she only disyed the end result, which was M and her n kneeling before Erich, professing him to be their new n Leader.
It was a shocking sight. After all, the Orcs werergely considered a barbarian menace across the gxy. One that only existed because the Alfheim Dominion had uplifted them for the purpose of serving as cannon fodder.
A plot that had backfired spectacrly created a race of impulsive, violent savages with an extremely high rate of reproduction and regeneration. Orcs were extremely difficult to kill for most civilizations and they could breed so quickly they honestly made rabbits look infertile.
It was because of this that they had been a gue on the gxy for millennia. But during the entire time that the Orcs had been raiding and raping and piging across the Milky Way, there had never once been an Orcish Chieftain of another species.
In fact, most intelligent lifeforms didn''t even realize this was possible. Yet it was. And Erich had just aplished this. The Germanic Star-Empire was already known as a violent and warlike race. If they added an Orc n to their ranks, the consequences could be unfathomable.
Especially if the Germanic Star-Empire gave the Orcs worlds to settle on, where they were free to breed, and train the next generation for the purpose of waging war on the Gxy. After all, there were many who suspected the current genocides of the Insectoid races were just a pretext for something more sinister.
And those few gctic leaders who did know about the uing Naraku Invasion also suspected the Empire would stab its allies in the back immediately after the bugs had been defeated. With the addition of Orcs to the Germanic Star-Empire''s assets, this could prove to be a problem.
This was exactly Erich''s n. To unite the various Orc ns Across the gxy beneath his banner, but not for the purpose of defending against the Naraku. Rather, he intended to turn them against his allies when the time came. Sending them to do what they do best, raid the worlds belonging to those who refused to submit to his rule.
M would be the instrument of these grand designs. And this was the first thing that Erich chose to speak to the woman about once they were alone. His words hadpletely shocked her when he admitted this to her.
"This world of mine that you have raided, and ughtered my people upon. Consider it the property of the Ironhand n now.... I want you and your people to stay here and breed an army for my future wars. I will provide you with weapons, armor, and ships.
In theing decades the Gxy will be invaded... The Naraku, as I''m sure you are aware about, are not native to this gxy. They are from another gxy, their exact origins are unknown, but they appear to travel the universe devouring all biological life, and recreating the worlds they ravage in their own image.
That is our fate if we fail to defeat them."
M was stunned by this news. She did not know how effective her people would be against the bugs, and was honestly apprehensive. Asking Erich why he would tell her these things.
"Why… Why are you telling me this? If you already know this, then it should be an important secret, no?"
Erich nodded his head before confirming why exactly he trusted M with this information and what his ns were for his people.
"I''m telling you this because you are my wife now… That alone makes you trustworthy… Besides, I have another purpose in mind for your people."
M blushed profusely when hearing Erich call her his wife. Sure, by her customs this was true, but she never expected Erich to take it seriously, only as a means for him to assume power over her people. But when she heard the second part of Erich''s statement, her expression became stern as she demanded to know what.
"What exactly do you have in mind?"
Erich then revealed his master n to the woman.
"In a hundred years at thetest, this gxy will be mine. Every world, every moon, every star, and every asteroid will belong to me and me alone. To do this, though, I will have to betray my current allies once the bugs have been dealt with.
I want you and your people to use this time to lick your wounds and breed an army here on this world. Like I said, whatever resources you need, I can provide. In the mean time, I will travel across the gxy and unite the various Orcish ns beneath my banner. Giving them a simr offer.
When the timees, I want you all to do what you do best: raid, rape, pige and burn those worlds that do not submit to me. Do you think you can do this for me?"
M''s lips curved into a wicked smile when she heard this. She did not expect Erich to have such a demand. Instead, she thought he would use her people as sacrificial pawns against the bugs. It appeared he respected her people as much as she respected him, and in this regard she could only give him the greatestpliment she could think of, albeit in aedic way.
"Are you sure you''re not really an orc who painted his skin white?"
Erich chuckled when he heard this, but he did not reject the idea outright. Instead, he grabbed hold of M''s hair and roughly guided her onto his knees. With a malevolent smirk on his face, he spoke to M with an arrogant tone in his voice.
"How about I show you just how much of an Orc I really am?"
M immediately agreed to this request, and the two of them would spend the next 72 hours ensuring that their first litter of children was properly conceived.
