Chapter 434. The Yellow Turbans, Assemble!! (1)

Of course, when my fierce rejection became apparent, most users seemed to accept it as, “That’s what a central user should be like!”

Naturally, some users reacted as if they thought I didn’t need to be so “overly sensitive.”

Honestly, when dozens or even hundreds of people are telling you to do something, and you just stubbornly refuse, isn’t that just being addicted to rejection?

I’ve seen quite a few guys like that before. They’re just obsessed with rejecting whatever others tell them to do. Like, seriously.

Comments:

-[Huh?]

-[What kind of Templar is this?]

-[Oh, interesting opinion.]

-[Hmm, maybe?]

—————————————–

“Commander, why do you keep rejecting even when others want to make you the Clan Leader?”

“Hmm…”

Even Jessica, who was looking at the gallery and chat with me, unlike other superhumans, reacted like that.

If Jessica is reacting like that, you can imagine how others must feel.

Of course, regardless of how I felt, it was only natural for such reactions to come up.

“Jessica, Jessica, did I ever tell you before?”

“That you have trauma related to clans?”

Fortunately, it seems I did mention it, as our Jessica nodded while shaking her big rabbit ears.

In response to my deputy’s reaction, I shrugged my shoulders and shook my head.

“Yeah, back when this was still a game, I joined a clan once and got completely screwed over.”

“Ah… I see.”

“At that time, those bastards tried to push the Clan Leader position onto me, and I accepted without thinking, only to end up with all sorts of crappy responsibilities… Yeah, that’s how it was.”

I had a vivid memory of how terrible it feels to be betrayed by people you know.

Feeling that past trauma creeping up again, I firmly decided to stick to my stance of “I will absolutely not become the Clan Leader!”

And with that strange tension between Icarus and other users continuing…

Users from the surrounding zones, who weren’t even involved and didn’t care one way or the other…

People having a seizure trying to give an additional badge to someone who’s already wearing one.

vs.

Someone who’s already wearing a badge and doesn’t want another one, so they’re desperately rejecting it.

This is a truly epic battle, seriously.

Comments:

-[LOLOLOLOLOL]

-[It’s so intense.]

-[Can’t they just force him to accept it?]

-[Who in the Central Zone can force Icarus to accept it? LOL]

-[Thinking about it, you’re right.]

Title: The current situation in the Central Zone is just comedy.

Straight to the point, yeah.

Honestly, if Icarus had been just a little weaker from the start, this wouldn’t have been such a big deal.

Because now, users from other bases are all gathering and freaking out, telling him to do it, so normally, he would’ve been forced to accept it anyway.

But the problem is that Icarus’s presence in the Central Zone has become way too strong LOL.

No joke, to invade Icarus in the Central Zone, you’d need at least 10,000 users.

And that’s not even counting the mercenaries and faction dispatch teams.

But this only applies up until recently.

Now, with the Leviathan Fleet stationed and Spiralus under control, it’s even more ridiculous.

Now, unless you’re a large clan (1,000+ members), it’s practically impossible to deal with him.

And because of that, what would’ve normally been resolved quickly with the Central Zone clan forming or not…

Has turned into this intense debate-like situation.

Comments:

-[Damn, everyone’s living such a tiring life, seriously.]

-[Isn’t that how everyone feels after being possessed here? Haha.]

-[Ugh, damn.]

-[Is this a fleet battle gacha game or a political drama?]

-[Both, probably.]

-[If it’s both, then I agree.]

-[Why is this guy agreeing and then falling over?]

-[But coolly agreeing…]

The sight of Jeong deciding is quite pleasing, lol.

– [What the heck is this newbie?]

—————————————–

The current situation unfolding in the Central Zone is simply a fight between someone trying to force a hat on and someone else telling the hat to screw off and trying to take it off.

==========

But the day after such heated debates erupted.

Somehow, the result of the fierce battle between “You do it” and “Nah, screw you” ended up surpassing everyone’s expectations.

And what was that result, you ask? Well, it was none other than…

Title: LMAOOOO the Central Zone is a total mess lololol

It seems the Yellow Turbans think they’ll end up as duck eggs in the Nakdong River if they keep going like this.

Out of nowhere, they posted a declaration and are now moving en masse towards Icarus’s base.

For real tho.

Comments:

– [Is this for real?]

– [No proof? Then it’s fake, duh.]

– [Here’s the proof] (Author)

– [Good job, bro]

– [Wait, what the hell?]

– [Wait, I’m just evacuating, is this real?]

“These damn bastards are really something else.”

“Commander, let’s calm down first.”

Instead of leaving the quiet ones alone, these vicious nomadic bandits are targeting the settled folks… no, they’re coming straight at me, even boldly declaring war.

I could feel my irritation skyrocketing.

But regardless of that irritation, I had to deal with the problem at hand, whether I liked it or not.

So I decided to quickly gather all my immediate response fleets (main force, direct mercenary units, Princess Luka’s hobby fleet, etc.) and prepare for a counterattack.

Even though I didn’t know the exact number of these so-called ‘Yellow Turban’ users, it was estimated to be at least 3,000.

Since there was still some distance, I planned to use the strategic missiles of the Kraken-Hreðsvelgr to take out their main forces one by one.

However, there was one thing I either didn’t anticipate or subconsciously ignored, and it started to make its presence known.

And what was that, you ask? Well…
