Chapter 277

Chapter 277. The world always keeps you on your toes. (4)

Right under Raksha’s command, as the Larten Water Clan was preparing to launch their assault pods, the main force of Mona Lisa’s Magellan Clan, which should have been a week’s journey away, suddenly appeared…

And right after that…

<Larten Water Official Chat Room>

– [Magellan Clan’s main force is here, what’s going on?]

– [They shouldn’t be able to get here this fast.]

– [Wait, what the f***?]

– [Oh s***!]

– [F***, evasive maneuvers!]

—————————————–

“This is betrayal, you bastards!!!!”

“Commander, you need to evade now!”

The sudden reactions in Larten Water Clan’s chat room.

And as seen from Raksha’s reaction aboard the ship, the main force of the Magellan Clan, led by Mona Lisa, began pouring indiscriminate firepower onto the remaining fleet of Larten Water, which was preparing for the assault.

Naturally, Larten Water’s fleet, already worn out from fierce battles with defense fleets, was left completely exposed to the sudden rear attack.

Not only the various large ships that remained at the time, but even the ships undergoing emergency repairs couldn’t muster a counterattack and ended up exploding like fireworks.

By the time half of Larten Water’s remaining fleet was annihilated due to the Magellan Clan’s lightning-fast ambush, a user from one of the stealth ships watching the situation posted on the gallery.

Of course, the gallery’s reaction to such “betrayal” was fiery.

The main force appeared right after the battle ended and absolutely wrecked Larten Water’s backline.

Half of Larten Water’s remaining forces were crushed in minutes, and it looks like they’re retreating.

Comments:

– [How is this not a setup?]

– [I thought it was fake, but it’s real.]

– [LMAOOOOOOOO]

– [Holy crap.]

– [The timing is ridiculously perfect.]

Title: Magellan Clan planned this betrayal from the start.

It takes a week one-way to get from Magellan Clan’s Level 2 base, ‘Bern,’ to that location.

But right after Larten Water obliterated Tunguska’s defense fleet, Magellan’s main force shows up at that exact timing?

They must have planned this from the start, considering the time it takes to siege a base and left early to steal it.

Anyone who says otherwise is spouting nonsense.

If you disagree, I’m still right.

Comments:

– [This makes sense;;]

– [Betrayal prep is no joke, so they started a week ago?]

– [But the siege of the 3rd-ranked city, which caused all this, was only 5 days ago. Is that possible?]

– [Their goal was to crush Larten Water from the start, and this was just a way to lure them in.] (Author)

Just you wait, you f***ers.

You said we’d attack the base together, but after wiping everyone out, you stab us in the back?

Comments:

– [LMAOOOOOOOO]

– [Let’s get revenge.]

– [LOLOLOLOL]

– [A well-deserved angry jab.]

—————————————–

Naturally, as humans tend to feel a strong aversion to “betrayal,” the gallery was filled with voices condemning the Magellan Clan for “cowardly stabbing Larten Water in the back,” especially since Larten Water had been on the verge of capturing a Level 7 base with their impressive skills.

The atmosphere reached its peak when Raksha, Larten Water’s Clan Leader, posted a furious message filled with resentment.

He headed towards the group.

But unfortunately, that voice couldn’t last long…

Title: Breaking News) Laten Water Clan Bases Under Massive Surprise Attack

While the Laten Water fleet was annihilated by the main force of the Magellan Clan, reports are continuously coming in that several small and medium-sized clans are attacking the bases of Laten Water Clan users.

Not sure about the exact reasons, but it seems at least 10 to 20 clans are involved.

Comments:

– [What’s going on?]

– [If 20 clans are ganging up, what the hell did they do?]

– [Is this some kind of karma for Laten Water? Their power weakened, and now it’s all exploding at once.]

– [Oh]

—————————————–

Recently, as a post by a user who has been living more as a journalist than a fighter surfaced, all the shady activities the Laten Water Clan had been secretly engaging in came to light.

They usually relied on their physical strength and skills, plundering nearby clans, and picking fights with weaker clans under the guise of leveling up.

They were the kind of guys who would attack others just because they felt annoyed. I lost my first battleship because they pissed me off, but now it’s satisfying to see them fall.

Comments:

– [???]

– [Is this for real?]

– [Yeah, it’s real] (Author)

– [Wow, not easy]

– [Seriously, not easy lol]

– [Is this a lie? Prove it properly.]

– [Isn’t this enough evidence?] (Author)

—————————————–

Of course, whether that’s the real truth or not, the users in the gallery had no way of knowing. But it looked plausible enough…

The gallery’s public opinion quickly shifted to the idea that the current situation wasn’t a betrayal of Laten Water, but rather a form of ‘retribution’ or ‘education’ they were receiving.

And after a few days in this reversed situation…

Title: Breaking News) Laten Water Clan Annihilated

Author: News Boy

Content: [Image verifying the destruction of the ‘Laten Water Clan’ in the chat window.jpg]

The Laten Water Clan, which lost its entire main fleet in the recent ‘Tunguska Fortress City’ siege, has officially been wiped out as of today.

Most of the former clan members were absorbed by the Magellan Clan in exchange for preserving their bases and fleets.

The clan leader, Raksha, and some users managed to break through the encirclement and escape, even though their bases were destroyed.

Comments:

– [Raksha, that guy, was a top ranker, and an entire clan surrounded his base, but he survived?]

– [I don’t know the details] (Author)

– [As expected of a survivalist]

– [Wow, a top clan just collapsed]

– [Raksha is done?]

– [Additional news: Raksha only took a few gacha ships and some custom high-speed battleships with him.]

– [The carriers, slower ships, and most of the resource mining ships went boom with the base.]

– [Got it] (Author)

– [What about the stronghold?]

– [Of course, the Magellan Clan took it, but I heard they handed over the existing stronghold to another clan.] (Author)

– [Justice served]

—————————————–

Considering the average strength, the Laten Water Clan, which should have been the strongest, has finally faded into the annals of history.

A week after the stronghold was captured, as I went about my daily life doing this and that, I couldn’t help but feel a complex mix of emotions.
