Chapter 357

Chapter 357. Behold, the Icarus Triangle Zone. (1)

Of course, the chatroom’s reaction to my response changed quite subtly… but when I neatly promised, “Once Tanhoizer’s defenses are complete, I’ll give you all priority docking rights at the base, AHHHH!!!”

<Avalon-Barracuda-Tanhoizer Resident Chatroom>

<Notice: Those planning to move to Tanhoizer, check in here>

-[Nice]

-[This is it]

-[Well, we can’t just accept users when there’s no defense fleet]

-[True]

-[Our boss is the best, I knew it]

-[These forest friends, I swear]

—————————————–

Everyone switched gears as if nothing happened, acting like “forest friends” as if someone in the chatroom had posted it.

The problem is, this kind of talk doesn’t just stay in the chatroom…

<Notice: Those planning to move to Tanhoizer, check in here>

-[Oh, someone took a screenshot and posted it in the gallery]

-[Why though?]

-[LOL]

<Fiat has been forcibly removed from the chatroom.>

-[Handled] (Admin)

-[Wow]

—————————————–

There are always those who crave attention by posting things in the gallery.

The chatroom admin, who also seems to be the village chief (?), quickly identified the user and kicked them out to prevent further exposure.

Unfortunately, the screenshot had already been posted in the gallery, and there was no way to stop it.

Well, to be precise, they’re refusing until sufficient defense power is secured.

As always, I have no comment on this.

Comments:

-[What kind of defense power can a single user build?]

-[They just don’t want to accept anyone, right?]

-[Not entirely wrong though?]

-[But Avalon and Barracuda accepted users when their defense fleets were intact, so it’s a fair point.]

This greedy landlord is hogging a Level 7 Base and not opening it to other users! Step down!

All users have the right to use Tanhoizer!

Woo woo!

Comments:

-[What’s this guy on about now?]

-[This feels kinda union-like]

-[It’s so real]

-[It’s so union-like that I don’t even know what to say, seriously]

-[You too?]

—————————————–

“What the hell is this guy doing?”

These kinds of weirdly subtle folks keep popping up.

Thanks to them, I’m left feeling… indescribably complex, watching users argue amongst themselves about whether they should be accepted or not.

But in the end, it was just a temporary controversy.

A week later, as planned, the move-in (?) to Tanhoizer began.

Did you guys come here for real estate?

Everyone on the gallery was talking trash about Tanhoizer, but turns out it was all just WWE to cut off those trying to move in?

Is this for real?

Comments:

-[It’s always WWE]

-[LOL, this is when you pull the ladder]

-[Do you trust the gallery?]

-˪[I trusted you, you little brat…](Author)

-˪[Pathetic lolololol]

—————————————–

As always, it was just another typical WWE moment.

Hundreds of users were flocking to dock at Tanhoizer, causing unexpected chaos.

However, once the so-called “vanguard” users docked at Tanhoizer first.

<Notice: List of Buffs Obtained When Docking at Tanhoizer.txt>

-[Hmm, Tanhoizer seems to have mostly aggressive buffs.]

-[Honestly, if you’re just planning to live and survive, staying at Avalon or Barracuda seems better.]

-[Oh, really?]

-[Yeah.]

-[Most of Tanhoizer’s docking buffs are related to teleportation, which isn’t very useful unless you’re in a large-scale war.]

-[Docking increases absolute resource supply, but the rest is kinda meh.]

-[Hmm, interesting;]

Title: Attention to Those Planning to Dock at Tanhoizer

Content: [List of Buffs for ‘Normal’ Docking at Tanhoizer, Generally About a Quarter of Icarus’s Docking Buffs.jpg]

When docking at Tanhoizer, you need to understand that it’s structurally a ‘gateway fortress,’ making it more ambiguous compared to fortresses like Avalon or Barracuda.

Well, since the level is what it is, the absolute resource supply is better, but…

The rest is just kinda meh.

Tanhoizer is really only useful for large clans looking to expand.

At least for users like Icarus, who can’t expand further on their own, it’s questionable.

Comments:

-[After docking and checking the chat room, the general consensus is that it’s more suited for aggressive users.]

-˪[Not wrong.](Author)

-˪[Most of the buffs are teleportation-related, which isn’t very useful for users just farming and living.](Author)

-[The clan expansion thing is real; teleportation buffs = enhanced user mobility, useful for quickly deploying fleets in wars.]

-[So, unlike before, it’s kinda meh for non-combat users?]

-˪[Yeah.]

-˪[But hey, at least the resource supply increases. Cheers to that.]

-˪[Though even normal docking supports shipyards, so it’s better than nothing.]

—————————————–

“What a chaotic situation, Jessica.”

“Well, Commander, you seem more confused than I am.”

Since I’m docked centrally, the performance difference is huge, so docking here was beneficial.

But for other users, especially those already docked at Avalon or Barracuda, it didn’t seem that appealing.

Two-thirds of the users from Avalon and Barracuda decided to stay where they were.

And because of that, Tanhoizer suddenly had some vacancies.

Someone posted on the gallery that this time, docking spots helpful for ‘combat’ were available, so…

“Hmm, by the way, a lot of users with fleets are coming this time.”

“Given Tanhoizer’s buffs, it seems many Commanders are treating this place like a market.”

This time, most of the users planning to dock were proper, capable users by Central Zone standards.

I started wondering whether I should accept all these folks or not.

Of course, that worry didn’t last long.

‘Thinking about it, my defense fleet is intact, and with more resources, I can quickly start building the fortress main gun.’

Once the fortress main gun is built, I can handle the scale of docked users anytime.

So, I decided to stop worrying and boldly welcome all the new residents.
