Chapter 308

Chapter 308. Exoduuuuuuus

Anyway, I managed to squeeze out resources from the Walpurgis Union friends made up of 53 clans. But strictly speaking, this time, it wasn’t just my role that led to victory over the enemy. Among the other neutral users who attacked this time, those who did proper damage or support will definitely take a certain portion. Of course, since I basically fought by rotating my fortress and fleet, I’d at least hold 50% of the share… But there’s a possibility of losing at least 10%, or even close to 50%. So, I decided to check exactly how much resources I got.

“Dugudugudugudugudugu…”

“What are you doing?”

“Checking roughly how much actual resources I gained from this battle.”

“Ah, then that’s fair.”

And the moment I flipped the cards…

—————————————-

<As a result of the surrender of 53 clans, including the ‘Isekai’ clan, the resources obtained are as follows.>

<Minerals: 15,900,000, Rare Resources: 1,590,000>

<Based on the calculation of the share between the Commander and other commanders...>

<The Commander’s share is calculated at 49.5%, so the corresponding resources are granted to the Commander.>

<The insufficient resources are compensated in gold.>

˪<Final Minerals: 7,120,500, Rare Resources: 637,050>

˪<Gold: 23,000>

—————————————-

‘Ah, it’s less than 50%.’

Clearly, the number of users who rushed in at the end was too many. Feeling a bit strange as they took a slightly larger share than I expected. But that was only for a moment.

‘Hmm, wait, I got over 7 million minerals and more than 600,000 rare resources.’

At this level, at least the minerals I gained were more than what I consumed in this battle, so I could express some satisfaction. Of course, the rare resources were less than expected… But instead, I received the shortfall in the form of ‘gold’. So, I’d say I did pretty well.

However, even though I received the resources, there’s still a long way to go to solve the problems I have at this point. Most of the transport destroyers were annihilated, and 5 resource mining ships turned into space dust.

“Commander, about the current mining efficiency of the resource fleet…”

“Hmm, go ahead.”

“Compared to before the battle, the current efficiency is only about two-thirds.”

“Sssssssss.”

As Jessica reported, the resource mining efficiency of our base has significantly dropped. Moreover, this wasn’t just a problem with the resource fleet.

“The forward bases… are they all destroyed?”

“Yes, the Walpurgis Union destroyed all the forward bases located outside the base during the encirclement.”

“…Hmm.”

“And actually, saying it’s reduced to two-thirds is an understatement, as all 25 resource mining ships are currently repairing ships.”

“Ah.”

Thinking about it, I had forgotten that. In this situation, my resource mining ships aren’t going out to mine resources but are repairing my shattered fleet and other severely damaged ships.

“Is the shipyard busy supplying Avalonia’s ships?”

“Yes, that’s what’s happening right now.”

Realizing this situation, I pondered for a moment.

“Hmm… So, are we only getting resources from the base and fortress’s resource synthesis production complex?”

“There are daily quests, but… basically, yes.”

“Then roughly how much? About 80,000 minerals per day?”

“Wait a sec… Yep, about 80,000 minerals and 23,000 rare resources, with consumption resources being about 15,000 minerals and 5,000 to 6,000 rare resources.”

Seeing Jessica’s crisp response to my question, I nodded and decided to rely solely on the base’s resource supply until the fleet’s emergency repairs were complete, strictly using the resource mining ships for repairs only.

Meanwhile, at the same time.

While our Icarus was boldly rushing workers (?) and focusing on fleet repairs, a witch hunt of sorts was happening in the gallery. To be precise, it wasn’t exactly a witch hunt but more like a fun and exciting ‘goroshi time’.

They dodged skillfully here and there, and some even broke through the encirclement that formed.

-[Wow, those guys are really good at running away]

-[What’s up with that clan getting beaten up like that?]

-˪[You don’t know about this?]

Title: A summary post for those who came late.txt

Author: ㅇㅇ

To summarize:

1. About 50 clans gathered to take down Icarus, who’s ranked 3rd, and steal their base.

2. But it turns out those 50 clans… no, exactly 53 clans, were practically a single unified clan.

3. So, pissed-off users and top-ranked players swarmed in and gave them a proper “education.”

4. Now, after beating them up and receiving some resources as war compensation,

5. The users from the 53-clan alliance, Walpurgis, ran away.

6. In the Central Zone, where even 10-member clans are rare, they secretly formed a 500-member clan and used it to gang up on solo top-ranked players. Now, those users are still being chased.

Even Central Zone users, who finally found a punching bag they can safely beat up,

Keep jumping in, and most of that clan is now considered useless.

That’s about it.

-[Informative posts deserve an upvote]

-[Some of their bases got destroyed, I heard.]

-˪[Not just some, most of them got wrecked.]

-˪[Oh, really?]

-˪[Yeah, that’s why they’re “fleeing.”]

-[But where the hell are they even running to?]

-˪[From the direction they’re heading, it looks like they’re trying to escape the Central Zone and head towards the Pirate Alliance or Earth Federation.]

-˪[Hmm, interesting;;;]

Their ambition to conquer the universe with just 500 members was admirable, but…

Unfortunately, they weren’t even close to being a major force, so 500 members were nowhere near enough.

Except for a few users who quickly judged the situation, abandoned their clans, and ran away as lone wolves…

The bases of the Walpurgis Alliance users, who had gathered to conquer Avalon, were completely destroyed.

The remaining alliance users, having lost their bases, gathered their limited ships and formed a kind of “refugee fleet,” continuing their aimless escape.

The problem was that their past actions had made most Central Zone users hostile towards them.

On top of that, random mobs like unaffiliated space pirates or wild space monsters kept getting in their way.

The Walpurgis Alliance, now renamed the “Walpurgis Refugee Fleet,” was struggling desperately to survive.

Of course, if things continued like this, no matter what they did, they would end up like countless other users…

Leaving no mark and drifting through space forever.

But they had a strange resilience, and after surviving endless attacks and hardships following their defeat in the Avalon siege…

“The pain that doesn’t kill us makes us stronger!”

“???”

With those words, they sent most of their regular ships towards the Pirate Alliance,

While successfully escaping to the Earth Federation with their commander, superhumans, and various important systems on gacha ships.

Although they lost nearly half their members in the process, and many gacha ships and superhumans were lost…
