After talking with the three commanders, they were prepared to act.
Going back to their spaceships, they gathered some of their most trusted subordinates that were left alive, and each of them sent a team toward their empire to ask for guidance.
What guidance?
Well, they told their subordinates to describe to the higher-ups of their race that the mighty Emperor visited them more than a week ago and took out their generals for a secret mission that was supposed to end in two days...
But ever since then, not a single trace of their Emperor or their generals was to be seen.
When those people heard that, besides shock, there was another feeling inside them: fear.
"C-Commander, is that true?"
"But then..."
A few of them panicked and started to have cold feet. But this much was understandable, as the news came too soon, just as the rumors died down.
