Chapter 450

Chapter 450. Frenemies.

And as if to prove that my sigh wasn’t in vain, Raksha and Mona Lisa boldly revealed themselves. The moment they spotted each other’s fleets, they immediately started hurling all kinds of insults.

—

– [Ah, why did this trash even crawl out for the event?] (Raksha)

– [LOL, welcome to the guy whose clan got wrecked and alliance got demolished.] (Mona Lisa)

– [After collapsing two factions in a row, you’re still at a level where you can’t even touch me. Fun to watch.] (Raksha)

– [Oh, so you’re saying you’re the only one left standing after I wiped out the rest?] (Mona Lisa)

– [Trash relying on overpowered ships.] (Raksha)

– [Loser with no luck or people.] (Mona Lisa)

– [What the f***?] (Raksha)

– [You piece of s***.] (Mona Lisa)

– [Ugh, why are they fighting the moment they show up?]

– [Those two are always at each other’s throats.]

– [Ah, I see.]

—

Even if they were just exchanging insults, it would’ve been fine. But as humans tend to do, when insults fly back and forth, emotions inevitably escalate. And so, shortly after…

—

– [F*** you.] (Raksha)

– [What, you wanna go?] (Mona Lisa)

– [Trash with no skills.] (Raksha)

– [You’re the one who destroyed my base when I had nothing, and now you’re talking big.] (Mona Lisa)

– [Look at these top players fighting like clowns.]

– [Wait, hold up, we’re supposed to be doing the event battle, why are they about to start shelling each other?]

– [Stop the violence!]

– [We’re gonna get caught in the crossfire, you idiots!]

—

They were about to start shelling each other, and naturally, the users below them, who already didn’t get along, were also affected. The situation was further exposed by a user live-streaming it in the gallery.

Out of 100 people, the last two standing just had to be Raksha and Mona Lisa, who are sworn enemies. The atmosphere is seriously tense. At this rate, they’re gonna take each other out before we even get to the boss.

**Comments:**

– [LOLOLOLOLOL]

– [This is legendary.]

– [But if they fight directly, won’t Mona Lisa get wrecked?]

– [I heard Raksha lost a lot of his main ships when he bailed last time, but he still has more than I thought.]

– [This is so exciting, I’m loving it.]

That bastard, he’s a bad egg.

**Comments:**

– [Yeah, I agree.]

– [Maybe blur the Magellan Clan mark before posting?]

– [Oh, right.] (Author)

– [Ah, this is such a mess.]

– [Raksha’s basically a pirate now.]

**Title:** Mona Lisa just got to the top ranks by relying on overpowered ships, no skill.

For real.

She just spams Anomalocaris and other Xenobia-made high-tier ships, with no strategy or skill.

**Comments:**

– [As a former member of the Lutton Water Clan, I agree.]

– [^^ㅗ] (Author)

– [Excuse me, but you’re on fire right now.]

– [LOLOLOL]

– [Raksha and Mona Lisa are fighting, and now their supporters are trying to sway public opinion.]

– [For real, LOL.]

– [But that doesn’t change the fact that Mona Lisa has no skill.]

– [Ah, f***, stop replying and arguing, just leave already.]

—

In an instant, the gallery turned into a battlefield between Raksha supporters (former Lutton Water and Southern Alliance members) and Mona Lisa supporters (Magellan Clan and the Northern Coalition).

Of course, unlike the time when Raksha recklessly broke through the encirclement during the Lutton Water collapse, losing all his ships and bases in the process, this time…

Just before, I was busy capturing ships from the Magellan Clan and other Northern Alliance users there, so maybe that’s why.

The fleet size is a bit over twice that of Raksha’s, but the problem is that unlike during the collapse of the Latunwater Clan, Raksha now has various ships captured from the Northern Alliance, not just one or two destroyers.

Like Icarus, it’s a mix of at least three different factions, so it’s unclear how Raksha, who fights really well physically and tactically, will come out.

Mona Lisa, as always, is decked out with high-end ships from Xenobia, led by their signature Anomalocaris-class super-large combat aircraft carrier.

If those two really go at it, there’s a high chance both fleets will be wrecked, and the event could be ruined, seriously.

Comments:

– [This is getting sharp, like a suicide note]

– [Watching fights is always so fun]

– [But isn’t Mona Lisa at a huge disadvantage if they fight like that?]

– [Anyway, this event isn’t really going to explode…]

– [The Anomalocaris alone can produce 100,000 aircraft] (Author)

– [Huh]

—————————————–

They were all excitedly munching on popcorn, wondering how fun it would be if they fought.

Of course, I couldn’t just sit back and watch their antics or the fight between the two top rankers.

—————————————–

– [LOL] (Icarus)

– [You’re going to fight right before the boss raid starts?] (Icarus)

– [Duh]

– [If you want to fight, go outside and fight] (Icarus)

– [Oh, Icarus is here too]

– [Are you a kindergarten teacher breaking up kids’ fights?]

– [LOL]

– [Sigh, okay] (Raksha)

– [Got it] (Mona Lisa)

—————————————–

After I broke the silence and posted in the chat.

I positioned my fleet between the two, making it look like I was preventing them from fighting…

As naturally as possible, I moved my fleet to the ‘rear’ of our formation, and the two finally stopped bickering and agreed to focus on the battle.

Of course, my actions sparked all sorts of criticism (?) in the gallery…

—————————————–

“Commander, there are a lot of posts in the gallery cursing you.”

“Really?”

Those who were criticizing were just people who wanted to enjoy a fun civil war.

And they were the kind of jerks who wanted to see the boss raid fail because of it.

This is scary.

Even though new users are just joining the raid, you’re spouting nonsense.

If you talk nonsense one more time, I’ll keep the 15-day block going.

Comments:

– [Ooh, badge dictatorship]

– [Ooh]

– [But it was a bit of a dirty move, seriously]

– [They’re just soaked in dopamine, not caring if others get screwed as long as they’re having fun]

After taking a screenshot of that ‘management window,’ I immediately posted it in the gallery to warn the trolls to ‘shut up!’
