Chapter 438

Chapter 438. Icarus, the protector of the triangular zone… (continued). (1)

But even though they said they surrendered, some users still tried to charge in, desperate to steal the high-class ships I had.

Some even pretended to surrender, spouting nonsense like, “The faction surrendered, but I didn’t!” before blowing up their own battleships and ramming in with assault pods.

Meanwhile, the Kraken was just too bizarre, and maybe because of the stereotype that if you infiltrated it, their superhumans might start filming tentacle stuff, no one dared to attack it. Instead, they all charged at Hreðsvelgr or Ouroboros.

Of course, even if they charged like that, it was just the desperate flailing of one or two users…

– BOOM!!

“Is this the famous missile battleship? We need to take over the bridge and engine room as quickly as possible.”

“Yes!”

“Everyone, move…”

– SLASH!

“Whoa, the Commander was right, they really came.”

“Everyone, attack! We can’t let them take the ship!”

“Waaaah!”

– “Oh crap.”

What the opposing user’s superhuman saw after breaking through the intense anti-air fire was…

The defense force of Hreðsvelgr, which included Ignis, Smeragi, and Lephan.

“Ha! By the Commander’s orders! Seize this ship!”

“B-Boss! There’s a monster ahead!”

“As expected, some fool dared to try and seize Commander Icarus’s precious ship.”

“Witnessing the endless foresight of the Savior, I, Partia, am truly in awe.”

– “What the hell is that?”

“Ooooh!”

“Heavenly Fist Barrage!”

– “That’s copyright infringement, you bastards!”

In the assault zone of Ouroboros, Partia in ‘combat mode’ and Bendalope, who casually ignored copyright, were waiting for the enemies.

Thanks to the extremely dangerous, evil, and utterly ruthless traps (?) set up, they were subdued in an instant.

And after the battle ended, I had to summon Partia and Bendalope and give them a stern warning to never do such a thing again.

==========

Anyway, except for a few who showed disgraceful behavior until the very end, the rest had already agreed to the surrender declaration to preserve their fleets.

In exchange for the safe retreat of the Yellow Turban fleets surrounded by our fleet, the Yellow Turbans agreed to hand over two level 1 bases they had just recaptured.

And as a result of this, three additional bases were added.

“Commander, Commander.”

“Hmm.”

“You know the new bases we just got, right? Their locations are quite strategic.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Those bases will now serve as sub-terminals!”

“Oooh.”

==========

Thanks to this, the ‘base route blockade’ that Spiralus suffered won’t happen again, as the three bases now act as detours.

I felt secretly pleased with this unexpected gain.

==========

The problem was, along with those bases, we also had to pay a massive amount of resources as compensation to all the allied users who participated in this war, including myself.

Except for briefly taking Spiralus, they didn’t have any bases above level 3, so it wasn’t long before they started claiming they had no resources left and told us to go screw ourselves.

The annoying part was that this wasn’t just a bluff.

Since it’s not clan vs. clan and there’s no system-enforced collection, I thought they were just telling us to go screw ourselves.

But no, they really have no resources left, hence this mess.

According to an insider, the situation is a complete mess, and they might collapse soon.

[Chat logs of internal debate: “Let’s just give the resources and be done with it” vs. “Why give it? It’s not enforced, just ignore it.”]

But one thing’s for sure, those Yellow Turban bastards won’t get help from any other clans or factions in the future.

Comments:

– [What’s with the guys saying they don’t have to pay because it’s not enforced?]

– [It’s like they left their real-world logic in the real world after getting immersed in the game.]

– [Lol, legendary.]

– [Do they think anyone will help them when they’re in trouble later?]

– [That’s why the normal ones and the idiots are fighting right now.]

“What the heck.”

Unbelievably, it’s like a bunch of thieves. After internal disagreements, about 2-3 days passed.

Title: The Latest on the Yellow Turban Situation LOLOLOL.txt

Just the other day, they were all smiles for surpassing 10,000 members, but after winning a battle but losing the war against the Triangular Region Alliance, the internal faction split into three.

[A picture showing the clan faction named Free Legion.jpg]

First, about 3,000 members, including the previously mentioned ‘normal people,’ responsible for rear defense and high-ranking officials, named themselves ‘Free Legion’ and completely broke off to form their own clan.

This faction is the one that has to pay compensation to the Triangular Region Alliance.

Originally, they had the most bases, but after breaking off, they lost many bases, including a Level 3 base.

[A picture showing the Nomad faction.jpg]

Then, there’s the faction that includes the 6,000 members who fought and won against the Alliance.

The scale is huge, but due to previous disgraceful behavior, they’re turning into genuine plunderers.

But even though they’re called a faction, they’re actually just a loosely gathered group of nomads surviving on their own.

You can think of them as returning to the original Central Zone.

[Surrender Faction]

This is a gathering of users who got completely wrecked by Icarus or the Alliance this time.

They declared that they would settle within Icarus’s territory and become a settled people.

PS.

By the way, these three factions have mixed members compared to the beginning.

So, some who used to plunder have joined the Surrender Faction, and some who were split from Spiralus have become nomads, and so on.

Comments:

– [Triangular Peak Alliance, Triangular Zone Alliance, now Triangular Region Alliance, why can’t they unify their name?]

– [Because the Icarus Alliance never announced who they are?]

– [Since they never revealed their name, everyone just calls them whatever they feel like.]

– [Why is it so chaotic over there? Wouldn’t it be better to just make a clan?]

– [They said they don’t want to make a clan even if their heads get smashed.]

– [But that’s why the Free Legion was born LOLOLOL]

So, about a thousand users were wondering where to move, and it seems they decided to settle in the area between the newly acquired Spiralus and three bases by Icarus.

They plan to settle there and pay compensation while thinking about returning to farming.

Comments:

– [This is really returning to farming.]

– [Once space-roving plunderers, now quietly settled in the countryside?]

– [This is actually quite charming.]

– [There’s something, something about it.]

– [At this point, Icarus should really become a genuine Clan Leader LOLOLOL.]

“Commander, about 1,000 Commanders are contacting us asking to be let into the territory.”

“Ughhhhhhh.”

Completely consumed by the nomadic concept, even while surrendering and asking to be accepted, a large group of guys keep making ‘settled people’ jokes.

I could strongly feel the chaotic energy.

But the problem is, since they’re not a ‘clan,’ but purely a group of a thousand users, I have to manually change each of their ‘stances’ from hostile neutral to friendly neutral or neutral, which is extreme manual labor.

Some guys even suggest, ‘Since things have come to this, why not really become the Clan Leader?’

With everyone pressuring me from all sides, all I could do was let out a weary scream.
