"Now?" Islinda asked, in some urge and rush that she realized she was mistaken in it, so she hurriedly added, "stay with me, and go later to do it."

James didn't know what she was meaning, but he sighed, let the topic drop, and then held her body and started squeezing each single curvy part of it into his two hungry and thirsty lips.

As they both got up and left the room of James, Islinda went straight to her palace, and issued the order to Dora to be there in assistance to Luna's forces.

Dora was now stationed in the commanding deck of her large cruiser when she received the message. She opened it and slowly read it a couple of times before finally smirking.

She knew what Islinda wanted to do here, and thus she sent a word to Rigo, asking him simply about the time frame for their next expedition.

"One day at most," that was Rigo's short and direct reply. Her smile got bigger as she now had the right response to Islinda.

Islinda was now sitting in her private room enjoying the amazing sunrise moments when the short reply of Dora reached her.

"I can't, I will have to move out in less than a day."

Islinda squeezed the screen in her hands while she closed this short reply. She wasn't stupid, she knew Dora was evading her trap, and that made her realize how much she was over confident in herself.

"The problem lies in James going on with her for a long time in this expedition. I couldn't guarantee her little dirty games there when the two of them would be all alone."

She softly muttered while narrowing her beautiful eyes as she totally missed the mesmerizing scene in front of her right now.

Her mind, her entire soul was busy thinking about this problem. she knew it was too late to act against this current expedition, and so she had to deal with this as a present fact, a problem she had to accept.

"No problem, you go out there and play your little games, and this little dirty gypsy will keep herself busy in dirt and dust, while I will make James dazzled with how much riches and success I will bring to him."

She then took a deep breath as her mind started to work hard, trying to find a way to make her goal be achievable.

As for Luna, the moment she received all the workers and guarding troops from the hands of Islinda, she went at once to search the whole planet for this ore.

The mission wasn't that simple, as she had to look for the whole planet piece by piece, searching far and wide for this ore. She had an affinity with that ore, but she needed to be really close to it to feel it.

During the next few days, she was busy looking for any signs on this planet, while Islinda was busy planning her own grand project, while Dora was getting ready to start moving to this expedition.

She was now with James and Rigo in James' main cruiser, as he stood in front of the huge window here, marveling at this huge fleet that appeared only this morning.

The fleet wasn't only a single one, as the black market ambassador said just now, many great forces in the black market were really interested in this deal, and so these seven huge fleets came out today to support James and honor the agreement.

"Please relay my utmost gratitude to all of them, as I really appreciate their friendship tokens," James said to Amed, as he was very satisfied with this gain.

"Now, shall we leave?" Rigo asked, as he was the most excited one here about this expedition.

"Sure, Rigo will be the commander of my fleet, and Dora here will be his vice. If you need to organize anything then you need to speak with the two of them. I'm here just to have some fun," James said, as he didn't want to be constantly bothered by this man or his problems and requests.

"Sure, sure, I will contact them always," Amed said, while side glancing at the cold beauty standing beside Rigo. He didn't know why, but he got the feeling she was already close to James.

He sighed, as he had to hurry his superiors to find suitable girls that would rival these three James currently had and put up a decent fight against them and win them all.

The expedition combined forces started to move out, with thousands of large cruisers making up James' entire current main fleet, while leaving around two hundred large cruisers back home to guard the capital and all the regions under his command.

He sent a message to Islinda and Luna telling the two about his departure. He knew he would take a long time before he would come back, as the target here was equal to a small sector in the space, and controlling this would announce the birth of a new empire no doubt!

Hundreds of kingdoms were now under the threat of his invasion, and he trusted Rigo and Dora to put the right war plan to invade them all without many losses.

As for his allies, each fleet of the seven wasn't any lower than his, which made him realize he still had a long way to cover if he wanted to be much more powerful than those.

The only consolation, the most admirable fact, was he did all this in a very short time! The secret wasn't known to many, but everyone started to realize the presence of these special droids of many races under his command.

Without them, without Rigo and his men, James wouldn't be able to reach a tiny part of his success, and James himself already was aware of that!

Amed then went out to return to his fleet, while James glanced at his two fleet leaders as he said:

"In this expedition, try to make them do the hard work, and don't reveal any of our secret attacking ways."

Dora didn't understand his meaning, while Rigo just nodded. He was planning to send his droids to hunt down many leading large cruisers, and also try to use some of the tactics used before in previous battles.

However, after James' instructions right now he couldn't do that anymore. So, he just nodded, as all the plans he had in mind so far were useless, and he would start planning from scratch.

"Just make it direct confrontations, rapid and swift. As for conquered territories, you know what to do once conquered them, right?" James added, while mentioning the importance of the rapid deploy of the monster fighting units.

"Sure, also we will ask them to prepare their troops as well. This time they had part of the cake, so they had to be ready to take the price for it," Rigo replied, as he already intended to use part of the allied forces in subduing the monsters.

James thought for a moment before saying:

"If you can, when the time is ripe, propose for Amed to take the full responsibility of facing monsters in exchange for acquiring the first batch of them."

"The whole first batch?" Dora muttered, as she realized from her short stay here how frequent the monsters here would appear, also she knew how valuable they were.

"A wise decision indeed," Rigo replied, ignoring the immature comment of Dora, as she wasn't here with them in any invasion before, and she didn't know how hard it was to deploy troops after conquering the kingdom.

"Go then and prepare well, and also explain things to Dora that she didn't yet know."

"Affirmative leader. Let's go Dora," Rigo said with a nod before Dora just stole a glance at James before leaving the commanding deck. She wanted to stay here for the night, but she also knew she had many things to do now.

She decided not to return to her cruiser, while leaving everything to her right hand man, one of the droids Rigo trusted.

She went with Rigo to his cruiser, and started marching together, as she had many questions to ask, many things to learn, and Rigo was quite patient, and very open to answer all her questions and clear all her doubts.

As for James, he stayed in his large cruiser watching the great map of hundreds of kingdoms stretching over the span of one and half small sectors. If he did manage to claim them all, he wouldn't only have the area of an empire, the wealth and resources gained from this expedition alone would be many fold what he already had currently in his hand.

He started to think like an emperor, starting a great empire here, while his eyes were still focused on two goals, one to stand against the hostile Terases empire, and the second was to help Islinda going back to her empire.
