Chapter 9:Waste or Worth of their time

Previously on Starcraft:The Terrans transport to Eostia

"B-- that's impossible this has to be a trick, it would take half days ride to arrive here" Said Alicia

"You do realize we fly right? or are you that stupid blind girly girl?" Said John as he rolled his eyes as he open his visor which made the Terrans, half-lings, Maia's mercenary and some Thorn soldiers to laugh at the insult

Alicia fumed at that, before then they heard a growl sound and some strange noise as they look behind from the Terrans as they saw the Zerg and Tal'Darim finally showed themselves

Many gasp as they saw the appearance of the Zerg and Protoss showing themselves for the first time especially Luu-luu and Maia felt the same shiver when they saw Alarak and those red eyes and the aura of malice was strong, he would likely overshadowed Celestine's Light with his mere presence alone

Even the zerg just as long as monstrous but they were horrified when they saw Stukuv

"Before any of you try to draw your weapons, this two are my allies, and they will come and have a discussion with your high queen but rest assured do not give me that look Lady Alicia but this two would not going to endanger your queen, more like well you would be the first one to be cut down if you try to draw that pointy sticks of yours" Said Ronan as he stared at Alicia not outright glare since she is so far below in his level let alone even against the basic zealots from the Tal'Darim

Again Alicia Greeted her teeth

"Now can we meet your queen? because we don't have all day here" Said Ronan

Claudia was hisitant for a moment but nod "Yes, follow me" She said as she beckons them to follow her

Present

City of Ken

After they are allowed to enter the White Citadel home of the High Queen of the 7 shield alliance the rest of the army of Terrans, Protoss and Zerg try to mingle within the city well mostly the terrans while the Protoss and the Zerg keep to themselves since the people of Ken are too afraid towards them and some taurens are  at least lucky enough to be stay away from the people since they are too afraid to approach the towering being and not only the others terrans won't hesitate to help their comrades in arms and since their Emperor wanted to leave as soon as possible and wanted to go here to determined if their time is worth or not to have a conversation with the rest of the alliance

Some of the Eostians look scared when they saw black skin humans for the first time and assuming that they are dark elves only to be stop from the eastern eostians, those who are stubborn to refuse meet with bruise either by the Eastern or from the Terrans themselves as they could believe at the stupidity of the Eostians who refuse to see them as humans which made them wanted to leave now

So far the terrans beginning to lost their patiance and seeing this people made them wasting their time and praying that their Emperor finish whatever business he has

Even the tal'darim is also beginning to lost their patiance since they wanted to kill somebody but their Highlord make a strict orders to them no to kill except beat up someone as long as they're not dead and if they are that annoying they are free to permanent damage them especially the Nobles who would try to flex on them

War Council

Getting to the war council was difficult due to the Citazel has maze kind of place as you could get lost if you are not familiar to it, still their Emperor's Palace was even bigger and more of a fortress than a palace

Luckily the maids guide them to the room

When they arrive there, they saw 13 seats  split into 3 section at the top of course would be reserve to the high queen herself, the 2nd would be for the rest of the shield princesses the last one are for nobles, military, merchants etc

Ronan have to admit when the first time he saw Celestine she is the Most Beautiful elf that ever saw well she could rival the like of Lady Galadriel 

She has Long Platinum Blonde Hair reaching down towards her Legs specifically her ankle, Bright Green eyes that held no Malice only benevolence, Fair Skin, White as the Snow, Slender Body, She is Wearing White Robes that were quite Revealing with a Black Leather strap hanging in a circlet that which hide her Maiden hood, but Not quite and Very Much Beautiful High Elf and Even Larger Breast as big as Claudia

"A True goddess incarnate" Though of Ronan, luckily no one heard his though since it was well shielded 

"Now that all the members of the war council are present, will the representative of the Terrans? and your allies came out for the hearing?" Said Claudia since she doesn't know how to call the other two

"Protoss and Zerg, this Particular Protoss called themselves the Tal'Darim a proud and powerful warriors than no known could rival their brutality and ferocity" said Ronan

Alarak nod in agreement since after even knowing the Eostian in Ken even for a small one at that he would let Ronan do the talking since it would be amusing to see his ally to lost his patience 

With it Ronan introduce himself "For those anyone does not know us i'am Ronan Belleza Emperor of the Terran Federation Empire with me is my wife Empress Lacus" He said as Lacus do a courtesy towards the Eostian people then he turn towards his allies  "This is Alarak Highlord of the Tal'Darim and Alexie Stukuv currently commander of the Zerg swarm with us" Said Ronan

"Greetings i hope you won't feel uncomfortable within my presence here" Said Stukov "As Emperor Ronan said we are allies with the Terrans same with the Protoss for we are the Korprolo Alliance"

"Korprolu alliance what's that?" Said Claudia

"An Alliance between the 3 races of Terrans, Protoss and the Zerg" Said Lacus "Though us Terrans have different factions and 2 of it's greatest Nations are part of the alliance same with the Protoss of the Tal'Darim"

"Indeed" Said Alarak which sent shivers to their spine "My people the Tal'darim might be an ally with the Daalam but we are independent and would occasionally interact with our race in times of crisis" he said which mostly if he is either bored or a worthy enemy to kill "My people are ruthless and would happily kill entire population just for fun" he said

When Celestine finally saw Alarak for the first time she only saw an Overwhelming Darkness towards from the Protoss Highlord there is something Evil in him that Celestine does not wish to be with his presence because not only of his appearance but because of his Aura of darkness and malice in him which she doesn't like it and she could see the complete opposite with her loving and light nature compared to this being before her

Everyone look horrified at that while Ronan and Stukov could only rolled their eyes "But his not in the mood at the moment as long as you do not cross him then we all be fine" Said Stokuv

That did little feel them disturb at the Highlord 

"Then can you tell us how you and your forces arrive in Eostia?" Said Claudia

"Hmm... let us just say my Ship crash landed near to the City of Rad" Said Ronan

"Crash landed ship? last time i check your far too away from sea Emperor Belleza" Said Claudia as everyone knows the basics in Eostia

"Well it's not a ship in the sea but a ship that travels the void" Said Luu-luu as they look to her in surprise "What? while he and his forces are staying there they give me a tour to their ship and it was one of the most magnificent and marvelous engineering i ever saw and i'am not lying" She added in exciting and dreamy tone with hints of envious in her tone

"that's impossible there is no way that your claims are true!" Said Alicia with some agreed with her

"Only because you don't have the capacity to build lady Alicia and of course you won't believe us so don't try to force your perception" said Ronan with dismissive tone that made Alicia fuming as once again he appears to be dismissive on her as if she is not important enough to him

"still why did you come here?" Said Claudia as she wants to go back to the topic before Alicia could destroy a possible alliance with this foreigners

"Before we decide to help you we have a request whether we help you or not" Said Ronan not mentioning if it's worth or wasting their time in this place for a respect he din't try to read them at the moment

But Alarak however "Intresting" Said Alarak as he spoke to Ronan and Stokuv

"What is it?" Said Stokuv through telephaty as they are chattnig privately

"Young Ronan you should try to read their minds, some of them are traitors" Said Alarak

"Well then maybe i should have... Meeks... Rath?" He said as he called his Ghost and Spectre leaders as they are cloak and ready to shot at the moments notice

"There is indeed a traitor my Emperor" Said Meeks

Before Ronan could could speak he was interropted by Claudia

"What sort of request?" Said Claudia

"This kind of request is urgent and i want like to if the High Queen herself would like to hear it?" Said Ronan

The Eastern Eostians knows of what he is going to say but brace for anything of the reaction

Celestine was hesitant for a moment as she sense something that there would be an argument but she have to know of what it is she nod her head "You can go ahead Emperor Belleza" Said Celestine

"We want your military to be relinquish to our command" Said Ronan straight to the point and bluntly speaking 

There is a silence with the exception of the eastern and Alliance look shock at such declaration this foreigners dared to speak to a such a way against their tradition it was a bold claim against the Likes of Alicia, Claudia and Grave

"H--- how dare you!" Said Grave the old veteran general of the shield alliance "I have tolerate your beast and dark elf entering our holy city and you dare to reliquesh our armies to your command! NEVER!" he slam his fist to the table

"YOU!!!" Alicia stood in anger with the look of Fury in her eyes "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO BOLDLY SAY THAT AND DO YOU THINK THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE INVITED AND-----" She was cut off by Claudia

"Grave, Alicia calm yourself, i may have agreed with the two of you but i want to hear their explanation" Said Claudia as much as she disagreed with the Foreigners she is level headed enough not to anger this easy as there is something in them that they may have a reason of why they boldly ask that

"Question... why din't send your forces? we know that Garan has spells and poisonous environment that prevented you to send your forces yet the Black Dogs was able to march though it because of the blessing of the Goddess, so what's your excuse of not sending your forces" said Ronan he have ask that and needed as much information as possible as well as the Dark Elf Queen's power weakened but they still bless the mercenary just in case it was a trap

"We send them because they are disposable and our armies would be safe and no casualties" Said Grave

Ronan raise his eyebrow before reading his though he mentally smirk "oh.... a traitor..." Though of Ronan

"Why? was it because your so called knights have petty excuse and cowards?" said Ronan in sarcastic tone which Angered grave

It's true to send Mercenaries to the most dangerous battle as long as it was their specialty and the price is right but Ronan would still send his forces the mercenaries are simply to bolster his numbers and not only that because of their expertise that might help reduce the casualties in his side one of the few trusted contracts he have is from Mira's marauders which he would not hesitate to tease Matt Horner to no end of their marriage even he would rather not have sex with Mira not that he would help it, the Woman was too insane for his liking and he have plenty of crazy woman he have bedded with

There was times that he would send observers to make sure that they are doing their of their objective and does not betrayed them and reputation for mercenaries are important

"Your so called knights are cowards who hides with their chivalry, you have already too concern of your own power instead of ending this war for good" he added

"You bastard how dare you question our honor!" Said Grave as he would tried to draw his sword which Ronan was smirking to him

"Father in law please calm" Said Claudia

"Claudia he is mocking us! don't you feel offended too?" Said Grave

"I also felt it we are in the war council in the presence of our Goddess and they are at least excuse because of different culture" said Claudia as she still remains calm and Grave grumble at the terrans

"Another question" This time it was Lacus

"What is it?" Said Claudia

"Why nobody help the city of Rad of where the half-lings are being besiege?" Said Lacus

"That's right!... we have send message several time in the past two months yet there's nothing even a reply and sending an army to help us if it weren't for them we would be rape feast by those Damm black dogs by now" Said Luu-luu with an angry tone

"We are busy" Said Grave

"Busy? no other better excuse" Said Stokuv

"Yes, the half-lings are strong they are capable of defending them----" Grave was cut off

"Which is an idiotic excuse" Said Ronan cutting off Grave sentence "Do you not realize the importance of the stragetic value of the Half-lings? it's common knowledge that they are the best smiths and have many high quality and quantity of weapons and gear for your war if they ever fall the Black Dogs would loot it and have the needed equipment to further made your army weak and not only that they would win even sooner than later" he added

Before Grave could respond another

"let us face it Old Man, you are a coward... unless you've done it purposely" Said Stokuv hitting a nerve after he was told by the Ghost and Spectre

Alarak could only chuckle in amusement at that

"You dare to question my loyalty?" Said Grave as his hand slowly move towards his sword

"I'm not questioning your loyalty, I'm denying its existence" said Stokuv with a grin towards towards the general oh he would enjoy this

"I have tolerate you long enough!!" Said Grave as he tried to charge towards Stokuv whom simply waiting for him to attack him

"Father please stop!" Said Claudia

"But cl---"

"General grave you have to calm yourself they have a valid argument" Said Celestine as she is begun to feel disturb something was not right

"Why din't we sent help to the half-lings?" Though of Celestine with worried expression "it's only a half day's march... with this kind of event i doubt the Half-ling would send us the needed gears for the coming war"

"How clueless are this Queen again" Though of Ronan to those who would heard him

"Am sure she is stupid of not seeing this kind of consequence, she is weak and not even worth to be a leader" Said Alarak to Ronan "She would be excuse if she is any younger but she is a thousand year Elf which is no excuse"

A soldier suddenly barge in as he was panting with fearful expression

"My goddess, a black dog forces approaching our holy city numbering 50 thousand! by estimate of our scouts!" he said

"What?! send message to our forces, we shall engage them in battle" Said Grave

"Hmm more like to their death" Said Stokuv

"Yes my lord" Said a Knight

But before they could go Ronan stop them as there is one last demonstration if their time is wort or a waste

"I Suggest to stay" Said Ronan

"What would you have us wait for! there's a battle outside in this city!" Said Grave

"Something that your soldiers would surely lost their lives, i propose where none of your side will die" said Ronan not to mention to prevent Grave from further weakening the 7 shields

"He is proposing to show our military capability" Said Lacus for her husband

With it Ronan talk with the siege tanks ( Capt.Henry this is your Emperor's Speaking) Said Ronan

(This is Henry reporting my Emperor) Said Henry

(An Enemy forces approaching  2000 meters destroy them) Said Ronan

(Loud and Clear out) Said Henry

"is that the same how you communicate with him?" Said Claudia

"Yeah, that's how we communicate like earlier you witness" Said Luu-luu

"Lady Celestine do you have any spell that would help you witness this battle?" Said Ronan

"Yes" Said Celestine

"Can you cast it now?" Said Ronan

"It will take a moment" Said Celestine

"What are you planning?" Said Grave as he narrow his eyes

"Simply sit and relax at the moment General" Said Ronan in dismissive tone

Outside of Citadel

The Siege Tanks transform into their siege mode startling the Eostians at the Bizarre transformation at the strange metal monstrosity

After that they fired their cannons

Their shells impact at the Approaching Black Dogs and with it several seconds there's nothing remains but their limbs and matter and some are totally obliterated 

Another Silence in the Room after witnessing such power before their eyes even the two remaining eastern eostians look scared and intimidated upon seeing it's power for the first time

As they are thinking the Terrans use sorcery against the black dogs until finally Alicia move

Ronan look at Alicia whom approaches him, he internally frown as of when she finally Reach him

"DISMANTLE EVERYTHING YOU HONOR LESS CUR!!!" Alicia scream at the top of her lungs

With those words the weight of it carries the stain of their relationship with the Alliance
