Episode 407. The Million-Strong Army. (1)

At the same time Icarus was busy gathering mercenary groups, the battle between the Earth Federation and the Broad Humanity Alliance had become an unprecedented spectacle for all users.

Thanks to this, the civil wars among the Xenobia Empire faction clans, which had been fiercely fighting before, and the war between the Loki Clan and the Biomass Clan happening at the same time, were quietly overshadowed. But well, those were just minor issues…

Title: It’s annoying that only Humanity-related topics are trending right now

The coup related to Humanity’s Earth Federation involves nearly 200,000 users, while Xenobia’s side is just fighting over their own rice bowls, not even involving all users. Even users in the Xenobia faction don’t care much.

Loki and Biomass combined only have about 20,000 to 30,000 users.

That’s not a small number, but Humanity just blew up the scale this time.

Comments:

– [Facts]

– [Since when did 20,000 to 30,000 users become considered small-scale?]

– [Well, compared to Humanity, it is what it is.]

– [Honestly, the number of users involved in Humanity’s civil war is just too much.]

– [True.]

—————————————–

Unfortunately, as the gallery users said, the scale of the coup initiated by the Humanity Clan was just too massive.

Because of this, most users, except those directly involved, found it hard to pay attention to the other two conflicts.

And naturally, the hottest topic in the gallery should have been the Earth Federation coup, but…

Despite its grand start, the situation has only become chaotic.

Without any concrete changes or clear battle lines, the Federation’s internal situation is just a series of messy battles.

And with the Earth Federation’s NPC border defense forces holding their ground, the initial excitement has faded. Now, it’s just like a weather report, with vague updates on where and how things are progressing.

Every day it’s the same story: someone takes a base, then loses it, and it just repeats. So damn boring.

Comments:

– [If you don’t like it, just don’t watch.]

– [But it’s spammed all over the gallery, damn it.] (Author)

– [Honestly, it’s kinda trash. We’re not all part of the Earth Federation.]

– [Yeah, true.]

—————————————–

For the users currently engaged in real-time battles, frustration was naturally boiling over.

But that was only temporary.

Title: Yo, what the hell is that?

I saw this at Tanhoizer. Is Icarus trying to take another base during this time?

Comments:

– [Opportunistic bastard.]

– [Well, when else would they expand without being checked?]

– [So, should we call it a quadrilateral instead of a triangle now?]

– [Lol]

– [Damn, that’s a lot.]

—————————————–

For the first time in a while, a topic unrelated to the usual drama popped up, and it was about the gallery’s idol, Icarus, who always brings something interesting.

The gallery users’ attention shifted to Tanhoizer, wondering if Icarus was about to take another base and flex.

But according to the gallery’s self-proclaimed journalist (?) and high-profile user ‘News Boy’…

—————————————–

Title: Breaking News) Icarus accepts Humanity’s request for support and decides to join the Earth Federation civil war!

Actually, Humanity didn’t directly request Icarus’ support.

It was Indypatible (ranked 7th) and Menaldu (ranked 8th), who were hired by Humanity, that made the request.

Anyway, Icarus received an advance payment of 50 million minerals and 10 million rare resources, and with that, they’re sending out a fleet of about 1 million mercenaries to the front lines, according to an anonymous tip.

Comments:

– [Lololololol]

– [Wait, the numbers seem off.]

– [Since when did Icarus become a Clan Leader? Raising 1 million ships alone?]

– [Lololol]

– [But seriously, those numbers are making me doubt my eyes.]

—————————————–

The fact that even Icarus’s bait is ultimately connected to the Humanity-Earth Federation coup has been revealed.

The users of the gallery, specifically the hardcore gallery enthusiasts who only live for the gallery, were visibly downcast.

Or, as the “ghosts who only did the gallery even before possession” said, “If this keeps up, the gallery’s unique bait will disappear!” They couldn’t hold back their tears and soon tried all sorts of bizarre things to find the gallery’s identity…

But then, not just user wristbands, but genuine wristbands stormed in, firing block beams everywhere, and the chaos was eventually suppressed.

==========

At the same time, on the outer defense line of the Earth Federation.

—————————————–

-[Oh, the clan said they found a way to break through the outer defense line?]

-[Really?]

-[Good]

-[Just give it to us! One is enough!]

—————————————–

Unlike the central zone within the Federation’s territory, where fierce struggles for power occur, here, battleships and cruiser battleships are sunk by the dozens every day in a brutal stalemate.

Finally, word spread that Humanity had brought a solution to break this deadlock.

External mercenaries and users from lower clans who joined the battle were thrilled, thinking this damn war would finally end, and Humanity’s dominance would be established.

Of course, unlike those optimistic users, there were also users who were quite pessimistic.

—————————————–

-[Isn’t this just throwing around empty promises?]

-[Honestly, even if there’s internal support, when you actually charge in, everyone’s too busy trying to survive to care about support.]

-[Not very trustworthy]

-[LOL]

-[Ahem;;;](Humanity Manager)

—————————————–

The trust in Humanity was already declining due to the failure of the “original operation plan.”

And with the unexpected chaos within the Humanity clan, reactions like “It’s hard to trust you guys” started popping up.

—————————————–

-[They say we need more power to break through the defense line]

-[But even with the current internal power and failed connections, mercenary users and lower clan users]

-[And even with the mercenary groups and faction dispatch teams that users are using, we still can’t break through. How do they plan to do it?]

-[Yeah, right]

-[Do we really have to go that far?]

-[We need to hear something trustworthy;;;]

-[Hey, everyone, calm down]

—————————————–

Despite the explosive doubts about how they plan to handle the situation when internal support has failed and gathering mercenaries and personnel has reached its limit…

At that very moment, a teleportation reaction erupted above the border defense fleet, which included the “Jörmungandr-Class Super Dreadnought,” that they were facing…

Soon after, a massive rain of missiles and torpedoes, including a large and beautiful strategic missile, poured down.

As the Earth Federation’s border defense fleet frantically tried to defend against the aerial assault, their attention was drawn upward.

-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

-KABOOOOOM!

-SCREEEEEEEAM!!!

—————————————–

-[Oh, damn]

-[Isn’t that the Kraken?]

-[Holy moly moly moly]

-[Wow, there are so many]

-[Did they come through the gate?]

-[Damn, there are over a million ships, but wait, is that really?]

—————————————–

A fleet of over a million ships, including two massive “Kraken-Class Assault Battle Carriers,” entered the battlefield through the gate fortress’s long-range teleportation system.

The Humanity response officer, who had been pressured by lower clan leaders and external mercenaries, left a short, calm, and confident message in the chat.

-[This is the method we proposed.](Humanity Officer)

-[Wow, sexy]
