Galactic Empire in New World

Part 8 Chapter 40 Annonrial Empire Attack

Before the story, I want to make an announcement. I have put the final draft of the next chapters (Up to part 9 Chapter 7) on another site, namely at:

https://karyakarsa.com/robotechmania/series

I have put it in two languages, Indonesian and English. Sorry, I charge a small fee to read it, it is around 30 cent US$. I will try to provide at least 15 chapters in advance to be read there.

Please support my writing, I'm getting desperate because only very few of the reader go thare and buy the upcoming chapter. If there is a problem to pay in that site. Please tell me in the conversation.

Thank you very much.

Annorial Empire, Magicaregia
Command bunker under the Royal Palace.
The next morning,

Emperor Zaratosthra, who had barely slept all night, was staring blankly at his seat in the command bunker under the Royal Palace. Around him, the entire command bunker staff continued to work while trying not to see Emperor Zaratosthra, who was not in good shape.
On the other side, Hispastia Durum and the prime minister of the Annonrial Empire were discussing the current condition of the Annonrial Empire.

"It seems that almost all the military bases around 1500 km away from here have all been attacked. There is almost nothing left. We have also lost our core magic abilities." Hispastia Durum said.

"Have any of our Pal Chimera and Pal Crowne destroyed?" the prime minister questioned.

"Not yet, but do we dare risk using them in battle?" asked Hispastia Durum.

"I've been informed that HME has almost finished making preparations to send out its fleet. If we delay any longer, then we will be attacked from all directions. It is likely that HME will not attack here but somewhere else, and it is also probable that HME will bring Pal Chimera as well." The prime minister spoke.

"The question remains: can we attack them now? Without Emperor Zaratosthra's approval?" Asked Hispastia Durum while glancing at Emperor Zaratosthra.

"Were you able to communicate with him?" asked the prime minister.

"I tried before, but I didn't get any reaction. But let's try first, at least we have proof that we have consulted with him." Hispastia Durum said.

"Alright," said the prime minister.

The two approached Emperor Zaratosthra.

"Your Majesty, we have assembled our most modern fleet and are ready for attack. Do you think we can attack?" asked Hispastia Durum.

Emperor Zaratosthra remained silent, not answering the question.

Hepatia Durum and the prime minister inquired five times before Emperor Zaratosthra finally responded.

"What? What are you saying?" Emperor Zaratosthra said, his eyes seemingly refocusing for the first time since yesterday's events.

"Your Majesty, we are already preparing to attack the Myto Empire fleet with our most modern fleet, including the Pal Chimera and Crowne. Also, about 60 of our most modern ships will also be escorting them. Are we given permission to attack?" asked Hispastia Durum.

Emperor Zaratosthra seemed pensive for a very long time before he finally replied, "Go for it, we only have that which can attack the enemy anyway. If it can't, then we are truly doomed."

The two people nodded, then moved away from Emperor Zaratosthra, who was again just pensive.

"It seems that we should take Emperor Zaratosthra to the psychiatric unit for treatment." The prime minister spoke.
