He just thought in good will about his people, and thought about helping them overcome the hard times they were facing. And in the end, his pure intentions were misinterpreted, ending up with him to lose all this just for a bunch of useless people to maintain their current power stage and authority.
"Damn you… I'll let you all know how true vengeance feels like…" he never thought about taking the leadership from any of them. And he knew once he signed that contract, he wasn't going to be the leader of his people anymore.
He took it as if his people aligned themselves with a strong powerhouse, nothing more. And yet their dirty minds and desires ruined everything.
Yet there was still hope, and that lay in no one else but Hye.
[You are asking me to accept your services on the premise of going one day to your people, killing all the leaders there, and adding them to my kingdom?] Hye was already preparing the last touches before he'd start his big assault. He had to arrange his fleet slightly, to make sure his ships were in the middle of a dense crowd of the enemy.
He anticipated Major's response, yet he knew the man had no other option but to succeed. The thought of his people turning their backs to Major never crossed Hye's mind. And that was why he didn't even guess what happened until Major explained everything in detail.
The latter didn't keep anything to himself, and explained what truly happened without hiding a single intel from him. He told him how they mistook his intentions, what they did later, and what he wanted from Hye in return for his services.
[Sigh! You care about the future of your people, suffering all this for ten years, and they repay you just like that… Sure, let me promise you something… Such people are the worst kind of all, the ones I truly hate. They are cancer, and no matter how you look at it, this is for the greater good of your people]
[I know, in case you agreed to take such a risk…] Even though Major knew Hye wanted to recruit him and his fleet, he started to run his thoughts wild after what happened to his people's leaders.
[Don't worry, in my name, I promise to do it. Besides, we are going to sign a contract, and the system will be my eternal witness to this. But first, let me edit it and send another copy over]
The contract he sent lastly to Major held zero value now. Hye had to write down a new contract, add new terms and promises, and state clearly that he'd help Major in twenty years to save his people, in return for adding them under his wing.
Things ruled out much better than he initially thought. Even if he lost a large number of people right now, he was eventually going to get them. His main concern and interest was only Major and his experienced and well-trained fleet, nothing more for the time being.
Once he finalised the contract, he sent it over to Major. The latter read it ten times in a row, even taking a break for one hour in between to clear his mind and better control his emotions.
[I signed it! It's all great] he sent back after three more hours, and then he apologised for taking too long to sign.
Hye didn't mind that. In fact, he knew Major was already in his pocket the moment he forced him into this situation in the first place. Yet fate decided to twist and play with this man, ending up for him to be a devoted follower and die-hard general for him.
[Get ready… We'll arrive at your location in twenty hours… Here is the plan…] As he signed a contract and became part of Hye's group, the latter started to explain everything.
He didn't even hide the fact that he delayed his move for the enemies to drop their guard and focus on Major instead. The latter didn't find any insult in it, didn't suffer any bad feelings or anything about getting played by Hye.
Right now, his main hatred and anger were pouring over the leaders of his people, the mentors and friends in arms who turned their backs to him when the storm shittly hit him and his closest people.
[I'll do my best to make it succeed] Major knew the entire plan didn't depend on him but on Hye. All he needed to do was to keep the other hostile fleet in check like he was currently doing while leaving Hye to deal with the other fleet.
In terms of numbers and facts, the other fleet was much grander and deadlier than the one Major was facing. And yet both he and Hye knew plans were destined to go wrong for silly reasons.
As the two waited for the zero moment to launch their attack, the new hostile fleet finally spotted what was going on.
[Get your heads up! They noticed what's going on and sent lots of ships towards you!] Hye never expected this to happen. He thought the enemy had to come closer from Major, before moving in one bulk towards him to save the entrapped fleet.
And yet the enemy decided to send their best ships to reach Major's place fast, the small ships.
[Are their numbers great?] Major felt threatened by such news.
[Don't worry, I'll attract most of them by my sudden attack… Get ready to deal with the leftovers coming at you] Hye knew he had to move out now before it'd be too late to do so.
The moment he decided, he gave the order. And out of the blue, the enemies who got their main focus over Major and the entrapped fleet were taken by surprise, getting attacked in the weirdest way ever!
They didn't notice the large number of small bodies that got thrown out from all of Hye's fleet almost at the exact same moment.
