Chapter 344. The Theory of Raising an Army of 400,000

And with my revelation(?), it was revealed that Kraken is male.

Finally, the Kraken shipyard unions, which had been rampaging and occupying the gallery, decided to voluntarily disband, but…

Unfortunately, people always find another way when the road is blocked.

What the f***

Who dares to classify gender as just male or female?

Our Kraken also has the right to decide its own gender, you know.

-[Are you serious?]

-[Why are there suddenly so many gay guys revealing their sexual identity?]

-[<Link to Icarus's post revealing Kraken's gender as male><-Seeing this, more gay guys are going crazy]

-[WTF lololololol]

-[Gay guys...]

-[Isn't Kraken's gender not a female but an attack helicopter?]

-[Iiiii will choose my gender as an Aegis ship]

-----------------------------------------

Half of the remaining people, for some reason, were showing signs of falling into the strange side, claiming that Kraken is not male or female but a 'female.'

But that doesn't mean the other half was sane either.

From now on, Kraken transcends male and female and becomes a xxx

Comments:

-[Now even these guys are coming out]

-[Considering the shipyard workers revealing their abnormal sexual desires, aren't they just the ones who were already there?]

-[Not easy, really not easy f***]

-[Ah, really nonsense]

With the repeated madness, eventually, I and other user moderators intervened and gave a full block.

The shitposts they left were widely deleted, and that was the end.

==========

And about a month after those events…

No, to be exact, about a month and a week later.

After the construction of the <Dreadnought Platform> was completed, the construction of a new <Additional Docking Facility> was underway.

“Commander, Commander.”

“Yeah, what?”

“Our resources are about to reach the maximum, what are you going to do?”

“…It’s filling up faster than I thought.”

Hearing that the resources were replenishing faster than expected, I felt momentarily bewildered.

Of course, seeing me like this, Jessica nodded, saying it was understandable.

“Well, Commander, you have over 1,000 bases docked at two points now, right?”

“Hmm.”

“Although the original docked base commanders from the old cluster have all left after the deadline… the rest didn’t have such restrictions.”

“Uhhh.”

“Thanks to that, we’re getting an enormous amount of resources every week, over 3 million minerals and more than 500,000 rare resources.”

‘Oh shit.’

I was vaguely thinking that in a month, we’d get about 10 million in total~.

But hearing that we’re getting over 12 million minerals alone…

I expressed my satisfaction with this very interesting story.

And in the midst of that.

“Wait, is our resource warehouse completely full now?”

Recalling that Jessica said the resources were about to reach the maximum, not that they had reached it, I expressed my doubt…

“No, currently our resource warehouse maximum is 2,”

“8.5 million, but with minerals and rare resources combined, it’s about 25.5 million.”

“Hmm… really?”

Nah, shaking my head side to side, I mentioned there’s about 1 million left to spare.

Hearing that, I remembered that next week starts in 3 days and threw out another question.

“Jessica, how much is our daily resource intake right now?”

“If we’re just talking net intake, about 200,000 minerals and 80,000 rare resources, excluding the fluctuating weekly quests and clearing out nearby mobs.”

“Then in 3 days, we should start mass hiring mercenary groups for the Tanhoizer raid.”

“…Sigh.”

==========

And finally, the moment of truth, D-DAY begins at 12:01 AM.

Most users are probably lying in bed sleeping, tangled up with superhumans, or hanging out with their adjutants.

“Yaaawn… time to sleep.”

“IT’S MY TURN!”

“Ah, no!”

I just called over the manager of the Mercenary Dispatch Center, who was about to go to sleep, and dumped most of the resources I had.

“Give me all the mercenaries I can buy with 13.5 million minerals and 4.5 million rare resources.”

“Eeeek.”

Out of the 20 million minerals and 8.5 million rare resources I had, I invested more than half purely as hiring fees to mass-hire mercenaries.

Of course, since the Mercenary Dispatch Center was handling such a massive amount of resources, it took longer than expected…

But after spamming the hire button like crazy, the result was insane.

“All, all hired, Commander Icarus.”

“Woooooah.”

<Daily Resource Consumption: Minerals 4,242,750, Rare Resources 537,905>

—————————————-

The number of mercenary groups was over 5 times, and the ship count nearly 8 times what we had when we captured Avalon. I nodded in satisfaction.

“War is all about quantity, after all.”

“Wow, that’s a lot.”

Of course, as you can see from the insane resource consumption, with the current remaining resources, we wouldn’t last even 2 days.

“Jessica, crack open all the resource boxes in the warehouse.”

“Got it.”

“And after that, don’t forget to open the bio-containers of the monsters in the docking facility and store the resources in the warehouse.”

“Okay, will do.”

Along with the resource boxes from the last mini-event, I also ordered the opening of the ‘bio-containers’ we’d been feeding pirate ships and wild monsters.

I also invested about 30,000 out of the 43,000 gold I had piled up to buy resources in bulk from the auction market and stack them in the resource warehouse.

Lastly…

<Brilliant Resource Box x3>

‘Yep, saw that coming.’

I also used the gacha I bought from the event shop to get more resource boxes.

After a week, adding the resources automatically deposited from other users…

“Jessica, how many resources are left?”

“About 12.4 million minerals and 5.3 million rare resources.”

“Perfect, with this, our fleet can fight for 3 more days.”

“Phew.”

With a sufficient amount piled up, I immediately saw the 2,535 mercenary groups gathered near Avalon.

Along with my main force, including Kraken, Ouroboros, and Hreðsvelgr, as well as Rhodes and Avalonia.

Finally, the escort fleet from the Pirate Alliance, which naturally tagged along with Marian.

After confirming that my superhumans were also in place, I immediately used the <Large Fleet Long-Distance Teleport System> created by docking with Avalon.

We moved near Tanhoizer to begin the full-scale battle.
