**Content:** [A swarm of monster fleets approaching and two toads pointing at it.jpg]

I thought I’d be compressing all the fleet battles and base development I’ve done so far, but from the start, I’m stuck holding out in a defense line that’s barely scraps, fighting trench warfare lololol.

Users who prepared for mobile warfare meta are now sweating bullets trying to control the situation lololol.

[The sound of a mouse and keyboard clicking like crazy, along with “fxking boy” playing in the background, in a toad video.swf]

Because that’s exactly what I’m doing right now lololol.

[Countless monster ships chasing the fleet, taken in a panic so the focus is all blurry.jpg]

Pls save me.

**Comments:**

– [Upvoting in panic]

– [LMAOOOOOO]

– [So it was your story huh]

– [Hang in there!]

– [I’m also grinding hard lolol]

– [Shouldn’t the admins at least tell us what’s coming in the round!!!]

– [What did you even do?]

– [Firepower meta to crush them instantly, yeah]

– [Did you bring a ton of Dreadnoughts or something?]

– [I charged in with 5 Siege Assault Ships]

– [You crazy idiot]

– [You better accept it even if all that explodes]

**Content:** [A massive swarm of aircraft launched from 12 aircraft carriers crashing into the monster fleet.jpg]

That’s right, it’s me responding to quantity with quantity!

**Comments:**

– [What kind of madness is this;;;]

– [One Large Aircraft Carrier launches nearly 5,000 aircraft, so 12 carriers would mean almost 60,000 aircraft, right?]

– [There are also aviation battleships, not just Large Aircraft Carriers]

– [With reinforced hangars, it’s probably closer to 70,000]

– [We still have 12 carriers left, oh Lord!]

– [You’re a legend···.]

Facing a mindless swarm of about 3,000 monster ships in the so-called 1st round…

Users mindlessly charged in with their usual fleets and ended up in a panic, sweating bullets.

Meanwhile, inside the headquarters of the mega-clan ‘Humanity,’ which now has over 50,000 official members and is heading toward 60,000…

“The admins launched a new event as we requested.”

“It worked out well.”

“But what’s the cost?”

“…They said they’ll use our influence for manipulating public opinion in galleries or other places when needed.”

“Not bad.”

Surprisingly, the event’s progress and reveal were the result of negotiations between Humanity and the admins.

A truly shocking story was unfolding.

—

The situation was like this.

**<Chat Log Between Admins and Humanity-Antares>**

-[Admins]

-[Why aren’t you running another event?] (Antares)

-[Huh?] (GM)

-[We already gave you a reroll event, didn’t we?] (GM2)

—

Antares, the top-ranked player and leader of Humanity, which now has nearly 60,000 members, directly confronted the admins about the event situation.

The admins, seeing the top-ranked player openly expressing dissatisfaction, decided to respond appropriately rather than ignore it.

Of course, their response was filled with a lot of random excuses.

In summary, it was like, “We already gave you a gacha event last time, so just let it go, it’s annoying.”

But as our protagonist Icarus mentioned earlier, that gacha event was only good if you were lucky.

At best, it was a very short event that lasted a few seconds to a few minutes.

**<Chat Log Between Admins and Humanity-Antares>**

-[Honestly, something that takes less than 10 minutes at most can hardly be called an event, don’t you think?] (Antares)

-[Ahem] (GM3)

-[Well… you’re not wrong?] (GM)

-[Aside from that, it’s already been a while since the last decent event after the mini-event…]

“Hasn’t it been almost a month?” (Antares)

-“Well, yes, but…” (GM2)

—

“Need to say more.”

“You know that thing back then, not the mini event but the large-scale event.”

“Pointing out that the mini event took 3 months, and it’s been over half a year since the last large-scale event.”

“That’s it, and let’s throw in some other stuff while we’re at it…”

—

From the outside, it looked like Antares was going solo against the staff using the nickname GM.

But in reality, to avoid being noticed by the staff, Antares had a bunch of close-knit users behind them, flexing their ‘collective intelligence.’

Suddenly, Antares, now seemingly smarter, kept dropping sharp remarks, and the staff realized that what Antares was saying in the chat was actually spot on.

After all that back-and-forth, they finally decided to run the so-called ‘Last Resistance’ event.

And as the event was about to roll out, Antares (+Humanity) started throwing in additional demands.

—

<Chat log between staff and Humanity-Antares>

-“Can we get a bit more generous with the event duration?” (Antares)

-“Honestly, you always give us about 2 weeks, but realistically, it’s only a week, so many users can’t really play properly.” (Antares)

-“Hmm.” (GM2)

-“Not a bad point.” (GM)

-“Actually, there’s been a lot of talk about that for a while now.” (GM)

—

Of course, among those demands, there were some ridiculous ones that the staff immediately shut down.

—

<Chat log between staff and Humanity-Antares>

-“Additional gacha rewards? That’s a bit much, don’t you think?” (GM3)

-“Hahaha.” (Antares)

-“We threw that in to see if we could negotiate, but we’ll just let it slide.” (GM2)

—

“Ah, I knew this wouldn’t work.”

“Honestly, asking for more gacha is like treating it as strategic supplies unless you’re as unlucky as that Icarus guy.”

“Hehehe.”

—

They kept pushing and pulling among themselves.

—

And as the negotiations successfully progressed, the event structure finally started to take shape.

Then, suddenly, the staff started to show subtle suspicion towards Antares, who had been chatting with them.

Of course, Antares just brushed it off with some casual remarks.

—

<Chat log between staff and Humanity-Antares>

-“By the way, Antares, why are you so passionate about this event?” (GM)

-“What, for the users’ sake?” (Antares)

-“Hahaha.” (GM)

-“We know what kind of person Antares is, so there must be something you want, right?”

-“Hahaha.” (Antares)

-“<Suspicious toad emoji>”

—

The staff weren’t clueless about Antares’ tendencies, so they pressed on, implying, “So what do you really want?”

—

<Chat log between staff and Humanity-Antares>

-“Anyway, the event will proceed as you requested.” (GM2)

-“That’s a relief.” (Antares)

-“But in return, you’ll have to agree to one of our demands later.”

-“Hahaha, of course.” (Antares)

—

Just like how they used the Loki Clan in the past, the staff hinted that they might use the Humanity Clan later.

And with Antares and Humanity accepting that, the large-scale event quietly began. Or so they say.
