Exodus: Empires at War: Book 7: Counter Strike (45 page)

“Our hopes go with you, Great Admiral,” said
the Emperor, clapping his hand down on the big male’s shoulder.  “We need you
to destroy them quickly, then bring those ships back to reinforce our other
front.”

Neither male thought for a moment that the
humans could wait until they won the other war.  That was not the way
Ca’cadasans thought.  The humans were enemy, their location was known, and they
needed to be taken down.
