Chapter 276

Chapter 276. The world always keeps you on your toes. (3)

Of course, unlike Ratun Water, or rather Raksha, who was showing such a bold attitude, they weren’t completely clueless. Everyone was deep in thought, pondering over and over again.

-[Clan Leader, being bold is good, but how are we gonna handle that?]

-[Try hiring mercenaries as much as possible and gather faction dispatch teams too.]

—————————————–

As a solution to their pondering, they came up with their own methods. They mobilized the ‘faction dispatch teams’ stationed at the bases of their clan members. They even hired a large number of mercenaries they had been ignoring until now, making an eeeeeffort to somehow make up for the lack of small ships. Moreover, along with their efforts…

<Ratun Water Official Chat Room>

-[By the way, what about that Mona Lisa guy’s clan?]

-[Didn’t the Magellan Clan say they’d help us?]

-[Yeah]

-[About 300 users from there will support us from the rear.]

-[Oh ho]

-[Are those 300 users just swarming with small ships?]

-[No, they said it’s just a regular composition, but they’re sending users with more small ships.]

-[Good]

—————————————–

With the additional support from the ‘Magellan’ Clan, who agreed to provide a certain amount of resources and gold weekly in exchange for taking the Level 7 Base, things were a bit tight, but with individual skills, they could somehow cover it. That’s what they were thinking, more or less.

Of course, even with reinforcements, realistically, the situation was still very dangerous. At the same time, cautious opinions about what if the Magellan Clan betrays us started to creep up.

—————————————–

<Ratun Water Official Chat Room>

-[No need to worry about betrayal]

-[The Magellan Clan is taking the vanguard, and we need to wedge into the enemy formation while they tank.]

-[Ah, I see]

-[What about the main Magellan force?]

-[The Magellan Clan’s location is far from here, so it’ll take over a week for them to arrive, so no problem.]

-[Okay]

—————————————–

With the possibility of betrayal from the Magellan Clan somewhat prepared for, their pride that if the 3rd place succeeded in the siege alone, they, being 2nd place, couldn’t possibly fail. That pride and what’s called ‘pride’ had subtly taken over their thinking. And with their thinking so consumed by pride, they didn’t pay attention to anything other than the base siege…

It would later come back to them as a very fatal result. Even until the moment the long-awaited D-DAY arrived and the results hit them, they were completely unaware.

In fact, they hadn’t really planned to attack the Level 7 Base, but somehow got swept up in others’ excitement, Raksha and the Ratun Water Clan. And the 350 users from the Magellan Clan who came to ‘support’ the Ratun Water Clan. A total of 432 users arrived at the battlefield formed by about 3,000 stealth ships that came to watch, just like during the Icarus incident, and began the siege to conquer their target, the Level 7 Base ‘Tunguska Fortress City.’

And they showcased a strategy completely different from the game’s playstyle, relying on the users’ own physical skills to carry the game. Thanks to that, the live broadcast viewers’ fingertips were exploding with exclamations of amazement at the incredible situation.

Is this guy filming an action movie solo or what? Like, dodging destroyers so perfectly to make the enemies waste their firepower or planting three torpedoes without wasting a single one right into the bridge to disable navigation.

The late-arriving aircraft made it easier to work by preemptively taking out the enemy’s small ships. That’s some next-level stuff.

Comments:

– [Skill level: Crazy]

– [They said his physical skills were maxed out, and it’s true]

– [How do you even dodge that?]

– [“Well done”]

Title: Definitely, the playstyles of 2nd and 3rd place are completely different.

They’re either mobilizing 50,000 ships alone or using unconventional tactics with special ships.

Unlike Icarus in 3rd place, who sticks to textbook strategies, Raksha just crushes everything with raw physical power.

Comments:

– [If you look closely, it’s not like they lack basic skills]

– [They keep their distance with large ships, providing fire support]

– [While Raksha and other veterans tear through the guard fleet formations by hunting small ships]

Title: Latun Water is definitely something else.

In this game or anywhere else, when you become a veteran, you start to think your physical skills can handle any situation.

But realistically, physical skills can’t solve everything.

Even if you’re a superhuman with a 0.001-second reaction time, you can’t pull that off in large-scale fleet battles or with slow ships.

Some people, thinking they’re skilled, charge in relying only on their physical skills and end up getting wrecked.

But Raksha and Latun Water Clan aren’t showing any of that.

They use physical skills in high-mobility raids but don’t recklessly charge large ships and spray bullets everywhere.

Comments:

– [This feels a bit like sucking up]

– [Not wrong, but it feels like too much praise]

– [It’s all about the basics, you need them to rank up]

– [If you think about it, 2nd and 3rd place are similar, using unconventional tactics but still fighting with basics]

– [Yeah, that’s it]

—————————————–

While users were marveling at all this, Raksha, Latun Water Clan, and the supporting Magellan Clan users completely annihilated the Tunguska Fortress City’s guard fleet.

Then, with an impressive kill-death ratio against the following combat fleets, they fought tooth and nail…

About 2 days after the battle started…

Straight to the point.

Comments:

– [Wow]

– [They actually won]

– [Insane]

– [Congrats]

– [Congrats x5]

—————————————–

Finally, after a bloody battle where Latun Water Clan and Magellan Clan lost 70% and 85% of their forces respectively, they managed to wipe out all the defensive forces of the Level 7 Base, Tunguska Fortress City.

With this, Latun Water Clan, previously thought to only be conquerable by clans with over 10,000 users, secured the Level 7 Base.

Raksha, the clan leader, let out a victory cheer and began preparing for the final large-scale assault to claim the base.

But at that very moment, Magellan Clan—or rather, their clan leader, Mona Lisa—had a trick up their sleeve…
