Chapter 252

Chapter 252. The Joyful Time of Spy Hunting.

Anyway, at the very moment our protagonist Icarus was blowing up ships due to the “simultaneous reward” received after such a long time.

Due to an incident at Icarus’s base, within their own ranks.

Not just any ordinary clan member, but even among the executives, Antares and his closest aides had noticed the presence of a ‘spy’…

“Ha, this damn bitch.”

“Damn impressive, how could they plant a spy even among the opposing clan’s executives?”

They were having a busy time dealing with the spy suspicion chaos caused by the Indian Machete.

“Did you send the reward to Icarus?”

“To avoid unnecessary trouble, Antares sent it himself.”

“Oh.”

“Rather than that, let’s focus on what we need to do right now.”

Scattered across the table in the conference room where only Humanity’s closest aides were gathered were various documents…

“Wow, are all these the informants?”

“Spies, double agents… and also includes simple humans or those who don’t even know they’re spies.”

“To be precise, it’s just a collection of ‘suspicious’ guys.”

The intelligence officer of Humanity, ‘Foxy’, who is treated as a squint-eyed weakling, had brought in a pile of documents on various spies and suspected informants.

And Foxy, who had struggled to bring such a large amount of documents with his aide, squinted his eyes and twitched his fox ears on top of his head…

He calmly suggested to Antares, who was sitting at the head, that it was time to make a decision.

“Antares, honestly, our clan situation is a mess right now.”

“Hmm.”

“We were so focused on gathering the strength ‘only’ to coup the Earth Federation that we’ve become such a mess, allowing so many suspicious guys to come in.”

“Hmm… Did we rush too much?”

And at Foxy’s words, Antares nodded his head and then…

“There’s no helping it, let’s clean up properly this time.”

He expressed his determination to strictly manage the internal affairs.

Naturally, as Antares showed such a reaction, the closest aides gathered there… no, the old-timers of Humanity also all nodded their heads in agreement.

“Good, then let’s use whatever means necessary to weed out all those damn spies this time.”

“It’s actually a good thing, better than having Loki’s spies running wild while we’re really trying to coup the Earth Federation.”

“The timing was good.”

As a result, after spending over 4 months since the clan was formed.

The internal spy-human network that the clan leader Betelgeuse had painstakingly created was almost destroyed within about 3 months from the current time, or so it’s said.

==========

Of course, as Betelgeuse and the upper echelons of the Loki clan could not possibly be unaware of such results…

“You damn bastard, if you have a mouth, speak.”

“Sorry…”

“Shiiiiit, I clearly told you not to, what? What the fuck what?”

As soon as the spy was caught, the Indian Machete who fled was called back to the headquarters, and Betelgeuse himself diligently disassembled the joint.

He was diligently stomping on the Indian Machete’s head with his foot, trying to relieve extreme stress.

But no matter how much he did that, the already blown spy-human network wouldn’t come back.

<Happy Unofficial Chat Cafe>

<Swear or not, do as you please, but if you talk nonsense, you die - by Betelgeuse>

<<<Notice: Humanity Clan is conducting spy screening operations, please check the shelter address>>>

-[Fuck, I’m screwed]

-[Caught by Humanity bastards]

-[Ah, how did these bastards find out]

-[Currently, Humanity Clan seems to be conducting spy screening operations, don’t act suspiciously and wait for a while]

-[Those who think they’ve been caught should fend for themselves?]

-[Can’t you see the shelter address above? Flee and run here]

-[Shiiit.]

-[Bro, I’m scaaaaared!]

-[You should just die, fuck]

-[I’m caught, man]

-[Aye, George is here, I’m heading back first]

—————————————-

As can be seen from the <Happy Unofficial Chat Cafe>… a ‘spy-human network exclusive chat window’ that Betelgeuse had open right next to him.

Seeing the spies literally being weeded out, Betelgeuse was under extreme stress and once again stomped on the Indian Machete’s head beneath him.

But that was only for a moment.

“Ha, fuck… ‘Sebastian’!”

“Yes, Commander.”

“Just toss this guy outside and contact all the clan executives.”

“What should I say?”

“Spy network collapse, urgent countermeasures required.”

“Understood, Commander.”

—

Betelgeuse, who had just called his adjutant, immediately threw the Indian machete he had been stomping on outside the command room.

He then promptly summoned the upper echelons of the Loki Clan and ordered an emergency meeting to address the current situation.

—

Meanwhile, while the two clans were busy with internal discipline and external infiltration, thanks to him, I had no idea any of this was happening and was just doing my own thing…

**Title: The ships I got as rewards are fighting each other LOL**

**Author: Icarus**

**Content:** [GIF of two ships, an aircraft carrier and a battleship, firing 250mm CIWS rounds at each other as they teleport in.]

Damn.

I forgot this happens when you receive rewards from different factions at the same time.

Watching the rewards I just got get damaged right before delivery made me lose my mind.

—

**Comments:**

– “What are you doing???”

– “The person who gave the rewards must be crying.”

– “LOLOLOLOLOLOL”

– “???: Excuse me, the product arrived damaged… No, they literally beat each other up at the doorstep. I’m serious, damn it.”

– “It’s not fresh from the factory, it’s destroyed at the factory.”

– “This feels like a pizza that finishes cooking while being delivered.”

– “Oh, that makes sense.”

—

“Hmm.”

“What are you doing, Commander?”

“When something this unusual happens, don’t you think we should at least acknowledge it?”

“Uh, I guess so.”

—

I uploaded the near-disaster of the reward to the gallery and was watching the reactions.

By the way, as obvious as it might sound…

Even if the Kraken intervened as quickly as possible, the fragile armor of the aircraft carrier couldn’t withstand close-range combat, unlike the battleship.

The perfectly fine aircraft carrier sent by Betelgeuse’s Loki Clan arrived at our docking facility with its armor completely shredded.

Well, the battleships also got pretty messed up after being pummeled by the carrier, which had more auxiliary weapons for air defense formation.

But at least the battleships’ armor wasn’t torn to shreds like the carrier’s, so repairing the external systems like radar would suffice. No big deal.

The problem was the carrier… it was in a really bad state.

—

“Ah, Commander, there’s something I need to report first.”

“I can guess, but what is it?”

“The aircraft carrier we just received… the internal hangar, fuel storage, crew facilities, and even some ammunition depots seem to have exploded.”

“What.”

“In the process, most of the catapult launchers were destroyed… Honestly, if we can’t repair this, it’s unusable.”

“…”

—

That’s right.

The brand-new large aircraft carrier we just received as a reward not only got pummeled by all sorts of air defense systems at close range…

But also had its vital parts shredded by secondary guns that fired much faster than the main guns.

As a result, it’s now in critical condition, having lost its value as a large carrier. We can’t deploy it to the frontlines even if we wanted to.

It’s literally in critical condition, so whether we like it or not, we need to send it to the shipyard for intense repairs.

—

“But Commander, the shipyard says they can’t dock it because we don’t have an Air Command facility.”

“…”

—

Thanks to this damn system issue, our first large carrier not only got wrecked upon arrival but also can’t be repaired until the <Air Command> facility is built.

I could barely hold back my tears in this ridiculous situation.

‘This game is trash-tier…’
