Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Chapter 459: Battle For The Machine Empire Part Three

Loeri let out a sigh. She could not use the easy route and just destroy the planet with the enemy on it. She also knew if she did such a thing, Alicia would be very mad. "We are at a disadvantage since he was able to move you off the planet. If we were to exit the void now we could easily destroy all the ships lying in wait but this would come at the cost of your peoples' lives. The only other option is to somehow teleport to a location on the planet but I don't want to put my people on the hot seat right as they land."

"We can teleport to the planet easily, but right now my problem is I do not know for sure how deep Logan's connections run. My castle would be the only place right now that is free from Logan's control." Charles said as he smiled bitterly. He had not realized how much control he had left until now.

"If your castle is still safe we can use it as our base of operations. How many numbers do you have under your control there?" Loeri asked.

"There are over one hundred million, inactive numbers. As for the regular military, there is only around one million." Charles knew these numbers were nothing good but there was not much he could do when he did not have much time to try to build up a force while still trying to take care of the Empire. He had thought he still had full control of the military, never did he think that Logan's claws reached outside his own subordinates. He knew he had truly messed up this time.

"That is good enough. We can supply the army I only asked because I do not want you to activate any of them. There is no telling what can and can not be used in battle, they may just turn against us. As for military power, we have all of that. We only need a base of operation." Loeri explained. 

"This much I can guarantee." Charles really felt helpless, he was supposed to be the leader of his world but he was really not showing any proper leadership skills at this time.

Back on Phantasia, Alicia who was now feeling much better stood hovered in the air looking down at the destroyed cities and lands of Alastine. Just seeing such a scene made her angry but she did her best to calm herself down. She kept reminding herself that anger will cause her to fall again. She had taken some time to check herself out and noticed a black stream flowing through her qi's. There were even some black swirls in her halo still. The remnants of her almost being consumed by darkness was there for her to see and posed as a stronger reminder to herself. 

"I knew I would find you here." Blake appeared next to Alicia and wrapped his arm around her waist. 

"I wanted to inspect the damage. But it seems even if I restore the land there will still be much to restore after. All of the leaders of this planet have asked to come under the Alastine banner. Even the devils wished to join as well. I said I would discuss such things at a later date once I figure out how to go about restoring the planet. For me alone it may take a few years just to restore Alastine lands but this time it is all the lands of Phantasia that have been damaged. 

"There is no telling if the creators will send out more races to attack us. Although I killed everyone who attacked our world and had once said I would destroy their worlds, I know this is something I can not do. I would be no better than the creators if I went and began destroying world after world. I would turn into a monster. This is not me. Especially since it would come at the cost of billions of innocent lives." Alicia let out a sigh and looked up at the sky before continuing. "This does not mean I will let off those involved. The people who ruled the worlds who attacked us are also at fault. And one day I will bring them under judgment. But before that time comes, my main goal is to grow stronger and finally face off against the creators. In order to do that I will need to go on a journey. 

"I will need to travel the stars and experience new things in order to become powerful enough to protect everything I wish to protect. Because I know, no matter where I go, those bastards will find me and cause trouble like they did this time." Alicia had made her decision. She would venture out and find ways to strengthen herself. She had to have the power to protect what she wished to protect.

"So does this mean you will be leaving me?" Blake asked as he scooped Alicia up into his embrace. 

Alicia looked up at the handsome face in front of her, she gripped his arm and pulled herself up so her nose was touching his. She smiled brightly before pushing her lips onto Blake's slipping her tongue into his mouth. The two tongues intertwined for quite some time. Their bodies pressed together. When their lips parted Alicia gazed into Blake's eyes and bit her lower lip. Her cheeks turned red as she whispered into his ear. " How am I supposed to continue making babies and make our family bigger if I left you?"
