Erich knew very little about the Maw, meanwhile Daelia seemed to know quite a bit about it. There was no doubt that she was withholding information from him regarding this matter. But it was also not something he could force out of the woman.
And since there was no guaranteed proof that the Maw would be returning to the Milky Way, Erich could only focus on the threats that were confirmed. Which came in the form of the Naraku, and their future invasion of the galaxy.
During the following years, Erich would work together with Daelia to improve the military strength of their two nations. While simultaneously cooperating with Mala so that she united what remained of the Orc clans beneath her banner.
The Iron Horde was quickly established once more, with Mala as its war chief, who had sworn an oath of vassalage to the Germanic Star Empire. And in doing so received significant gains in terms of weapons, armor, and warships for her people to make use of.
