“Admiral, Regeneration process complete, please peel off the excess burnt skin on your face.”

My Nanomachine announced, while I regained my consciousness. I peeled it off from my face, whilst hearing yelling from another side.

As I completely peeled my burnt excess face, I saw Maule that was currently staring at me and then to the forest where the yelling was coming from.

There is saw a young teenage girl, with a bright yellow dress, sitting on the ground, and looking closer I saw dead human bodies they released a puddle of blood in the process.

“Sheesh, seeing human blood, makes me remember thing I don’t want to remember.”

I murmured to myself, hesitating to help her, but soon commanded Maule to kill the enemy that had killed off the prisoner’s that I was supposed to use to my advantage.

“Why don’t you kill the one killing them.”

He responded with licking my face before running towards the forest and pass the young teenager, who was shocked and terrified by what happened.

As Maule ran inside the forest, he caught the teenager’s attention and whilst he ran the female just looked at him in confusion.

I did a sitting posture while scratching my head, it had seemed that when I was unconscious the prisoners helped me outside the cave.

As I started regaining my awareness and sense, I looked at the young female teenager who was still in shock. Inside the forest I could already see Maule carrying a small green Myrophix in his mouth, dead.

The Teenager slid herself away from Maule and to a nearby tree, as he got closer.

Hmm, not quite the reaction you give to your savior but at least you reacted.

I walked closer to Maule who was carrying the bloody body, and he immediately dropped it.

Hmm... seems normal, but this time it is using a range weapon other than their standard melee ones.

I sighed and tried finding my swords and daggers, that remained unused during my fight with that big one inside the cave.

And right at the place where I was lying on unconscious, was were my unused swords and daggers were placed. I picked them back up and wore them, finally preparing myself for a continuation, but maybe a little rest, Maule had been working his ass off.

That was when I forgot about the young teenage girl that was currently keeping a distance at me and Maule.

“Micron, Language?”

“Admiral, I cannot decrypt or translate the language without hearing it.”

My Nanomachine had a point.

“Good point.”

I walked closer to the scared girl with Maule, she seemed to be very, very scared to a certain degree.

“Lady, can you talk? I heard you screaming before. Don’t tell me you can’t speak.”

She didn’t reply, which for a second there bugged me. I currently can’t waste her, based on her clothing, guards, and carriage, she seems to be a person of power in this planet.

I need her for problems to come, with power, comes great actions and abilities.

“Maule, I want you to knock the girl out and carry her, she seems to be too traumatized seeing her escorts being murdered in such a brutal way for her, but a normal way for me.”

He gave me a small bark at me and proceed to use a powerful screech on her, knocking her out.

I haven’t seen this skill before is it knew.

“Shit, I still don’t know anything about the politics or geography along with this planet’s history, how can I make a move.”

I started thinking about my next possible move, I can't keep hunting inside a large forest, I might’ve have been able to capture, well rescue someone of high standing. Well, if I put a process of elimination, what kind of person would hire a large amount of escorts, has a very exquisite dress, along with a symbol on her carriage, of course people with high standing and power.

“Sheesh.”

I took my transmitter from the military bag that Maule was currently wearing on his back. And I waited for a signal to contact one of my dreadnoughts that were currently on standby.

While it’s searching for a signal, I planned to move a little further away from here. I can’t make any mistake, who knows, maybe this girl I just captured is the son of this planet’s Leader.

“Maule, Let’s go. Carry that woman on top of you.”

Using his mouth, he bit a part of her clothes and carried her. I soon led the way, I hadn’t thought of sending any drones of the type, since I had a thought that this planet was crawling with Myrophix. But since there are other humans, and some of them has high standing and power in this planet, which I can use and make negotiations in this planet quite possible.

I soon left the recently raided cave with Maule carrying the woman, and left to the forest to find a high enough area for a signal.

***

Walking for almost the entire day I was able to find a quite large mountain, it was enough for the transmitter to find a frequency or reach the dreadnought’s contact range.

“This’ll do. Maule you can take a rest.”

The woman still hadn’t woken up yet, it seems she was quite tired.

I sat at the highest reachable point at the small mountain whilst I made a camp at the base of the mountain, where Maule and the unconscious woman were resting.

Then suddenly the transmitter started emitting a signal, It was the hologram, slowly forming.

It was my Dreadnought’s Ai, Lisa. For a second, I thought it would be the other ship’s Ai, my guess was wrong.

“Admiral, Permission to report.”

She seemed to have something to report to me, I guess, it’s the ship’s repair.

“Report about what.”

“The Ship’s reconstruction process.”

Knew it.

“Permission granted.”

“We have almost covered and repaired the remaining holes that have formed thanks to the explosion, we have also finished the repairing of the ship’s oxygen system, you may now be able to return to the Dreadnought “Black Baron”, Admiral.”

The ship’s repairs are almost finished, I can return there again and do nothing or I can do something on this planet. I chose the latter.

“Lisa Connect me to the other two remaining dreadnoughts.”

“Understood, Admiral.”

Her hologram’s pixels started dispersing for a few second, but soon fixed itself. And then in my small transmitter, three small holograms had appeared. Looking like they were cramped inside the transmitter, in my point of view.

There the other two Ai’s introduce their selves.

“Good day, Admiral, I am the Dreadnought, ‘Crystaliss’, AI, Virgo.”

The first hologram to introduced itself, had the body of a young boy, with short and well- trimmed golden hair, he also had black eyes that was clearly seen on his almost transparent skin. He was also wearing the standard Navy uniform.

“Good day, Admiral, I am the Dreadnought, ‘Python’, AI, Nia.”

The second one introduced itself. It had the body of a young teenage girl, she had blue eyes, with brown straight hair, a well-built frame, and a flat-chest that can be noticed while wearing the navy’s standard uniform.

Wait, why the hell does the other Ai’s Look like goddamn children. I am a respected General and Admiral, this will literally make me look like using underhanded tactics, child recruitment and child soldiers… Damn, my nickname really reached its highest peak.

I criticized myself, for literally having Ai’s the body and size of children.

“Uh, yes, I’m Admiral, Arthur Kliest, pleasure to meet you. Now time for the main point.”

I sighed for a moment to announce my plan, my plan for total domination over this planet.

“Dreadnoughts, Python and Crystallis, I want you to release 10 scout drones each, Each dreadnought will release 10 scout drones, you still have a lot remaining right?”

I asked, Though, Dreadnoughts actually had the largest Drone and Droid, along Ammunitons storages and depositories, my problem was can they actually use them, without a crew controlling or supporting them, it would be rendered useless.

But another solution would be to charge a significant number of battle droids, at least 1000 Droids for the ship’s secondary and emergency crew, it would only be initiated if it had been permitted by the highest-ranking officer of the ship or fleet.

“Admiral, we can launch the scout drones, but the problem would be the crew. We can charge a small number of battle droids and train them via their chip’s to command and pilot a ship along with basic naval education, we only need your permission for this to be executed.”

Knew it, but he literally just expanded and oversimplified the one that I had thought earlier.

Well for my plan to take action, I need to scout the planet’s regions and geography, along with its inhabitants.

“I announce to all of the ships under my command, the 297th fleet, to execute of the operations of the Emergency ‘Droid’ Crew. This is to be followed and executed immediately as per ordered by the Admiral of the Galactic Federation’s 297th fleet.”

I announce at the group of Holograms. To which they saluted back at me, and responded.

“Undestood! Admiral! We shall follow your orders immediately!”

And slowly, one by one their Ai’s started disappearing, to start charging up and instructing their droids.

I have guessed that neither within a day or two, they will finally be able to deploy the scout drones. For now, I have to wait.
