Arielle watch as swarms of small jet black ships form several formations and immediately attack the Ganesh. A Swarm of never-ending small black ships attacks the Ganesh on all front leaving them confused, and chaotic as they have no idea how to defend or even fight back.
Arielle and her people are all speechless and have their mouths open, unable to believe what they are seeing, even Gideon who was a veteran of many battles can't believe what he was witnessing.
"Is this even be called Battle?" he asked in astonishment.
Arielle was the first to wake up from her stupor making Gideon ashamed. "Attack!! avenge our fallen!" Arielle shouted waking all of them from being surprised.
Immediately as soon as they heard Arielle command they all started attacking and with the Ganesh occupied with Specter drones Arielle fleets are having an easy time-fighting.
Arc saw Arielle's forces attacking and just smile and began to focus once again on his forces he notices that the Specter drones are at least 3-5 times faster than ordinary drones produce by cluster drones not only that, their firepower is also at least 2-3 times more powerful and the biggest advantage Specter drones from cluster drones is that it can combine itself to other Specter drones, and it will become more powerful especially useful for shielding powerful attack.
Seeing the fight Arc has a big smile on his face
"as expected of 2-star ship"
The Ganesh being caught off guard was unable to respond on time, and before it knows it they were fully surrounded and unable to retreat. So the Ganesh has no choice but to fight to the last.
It only took about an hour or so before the last Ganesh resistance was destroyed, and immediately Specter began its cleanup and retrieval operations. Arc, on the other hand, gives Arielle ample time to gather their fallen before fully cleaning up the battlefield.
6 hours later the battlefield has been clean up by millions of drones leaving only broken asteroids that give a sign of a huge battle that takes place here, the drones are quite thorough not even a single bolt was left behind, anything that can be recycled was retrieved, leaving Arielle and her people once again speechless.
Arielle and Gideon along with some of Celeste delegates are now inside the specter conference room, it is a newly built room as Arc didn't expect to host an Alien race aboard his ship. Luckily the Specter is very flexible and creating a conference room only takes about 30 minutes or so.
Arc now finally meeting Arielle in person despite that Arc was very relaxed, the opposite can be said for Arielle's delegation, they are very nervous and worried. But all that disappeared when Arc greeted them with a friendly smile only Gideon remains a skeptic.
"Hello, Arielle welcome to my ship." Arc welcomes them.
Back then Arielle's and her people keep getting surprised by what they are seeing, they saw millions of drones attached themselves into a relatively small ship smaller than her ship Archangel her ship is twice the size of Specter and yet it can't possibly hold all those millions of drones and yet a ship half the size was able to hold all of them and that's not all the Ganesh ships wreckage who are many times bigger than her ship was able to store all of them inside the Specter.
So they can only assume it is some kind of super-advanced technology that was so far above them, and now the commander and owner of that kind of technology are now in front of them giving them a warm welcome.
"Nice to finally meet you in person Arc and thank you for rescuing us. We owe you a lot." Arielle said with a cute relieve voice.
Arc smile when he heard Arielle, no worries the Ganesh is also my enemies fighting them is only normal and you being rescued are just a result, so you don't owe me anything and besides you even given me all your broken ships, so we can consider that as were even.
Arielle smile brightly when she heard it, and even Gideon relaxed a little when he heard Arc replies.
"So what are you planing now?" Ask Arc.
Arielle sigh and with a sorrowful look told everything she experiences to Arc, including they are the last of their species and that their homeworld was destroyed by Ganesh, and when they escaped they were pursued and end up where Arc found them.
It took a while for Arielle to finish telling her story, and Arc didn't interrupt her and just listen silently.
In the end, Arc thought that the Ganesh was more dangerous than he previously thought, he now believes that it was them who really started the war with the humans, he was skeptical about it before, but now he believes it.
"Sigh, I don't know what to say about your story Arielle, all I know is that if you are looking for a safe place to stay I can offer you a place." Said Arc with a warm smile.
Really? Arielle was in truth have no idea where to go her only thought before was to get away from Ganesh, and didn't really think where to go next.
"But if you shelter us the Ganesh would be looking for you for trouble," said Arielle with a small pitiful voice.
"Hahaha, that will save me the trouble of looking for them then. Anyways I can't stay long if you want a safe place to stay go to Liberty I assume you heard of it. Go to Grand Trading Corporation and look for Dianna she can help you settle, ill also inform her should you choose to go there." Said Arc smiling.
Arielle began to think hard and Arc didn't interrupt her, he just ordered a small banquet for everyone, after a banquet when Arc was about to tell them he was leaving. When Arielle speak up.
Arc, no Master Arc, when Arc heard her address to him, he was surprised, and he wasn't alone even Gideon and the Celeste they all look at Arielle in surprised expression but no one interrupts her.
Arielle didn't bother about a sudden focus of attention and continues to speak, "Master Arc, we of Celeste would like to work under you and be your subordinate race."
When Gideon heard it he sighs, he knows Arielle already made a decision, and so he kneels in front of Arc and the rest of the Celeste follows in kneeling, Arielle saw this and smile a soon as she was about to kneel Arc to stop her,
"What's this all about Arielle? I didn't rescue you to be my subordinate, I told you, you don't owe me anything."
"Master Arc, we Celeste are homeless and weak without anyone's protection we would be captured and killed sooner or later I know its quite selfish of me to ask for this but I rather no, we rather be under you than someone else."
"Arc looks at the resolute eyes of Arielle and looks at Gideon and the rest are you sure about this?"
"We trust our Queen judgments," said Gideon.
"Sigh, well how can I deny that but let us be clear I can take you on and shelter you and help your race recovers but if you ever betray me you will find me more vicious than that Ganesh, so don't take this oath lightly." he then released his aura making all the Celeste trembled, Arielle was having a hard time standing, but she persisted and look Arc straight from the eyes and said, "I don't take the lives of my people lightly we are willing to be your most loyal Vassal as long as you didn't abandon us we will never betray you and are willing to lay our lives for you." Said Arielle resolutely.
