Chapter 462. Aren’t the Factions Actually Weak? (1)

Anyway, after the noisy bounty incident of the Pirate Alliance, users, unlike the so-called “update drought” period of the past where no events happened, are now…

It’s so spectacular, every day is a dopamine rush, seriously.

Comments:

– [I was so busy I ended up skipping some like a dog]

– [Lol, true]

– [The Pirate Alliance bounty was seriously fun]

– [But wasn’t that just an accident, not an event?]

– [Anyway, it was fun, so it’s all good]

—————————————–

Taking a breather, all sorts of incidents and events keep popping up on their own, whether user-driven, NPC-driven, or managed by the admins. Whether you like it or not, for most users, every day is a stormy one.

Moreover, while these chaotic “user-driven events” keep things lively, no dangerous incidents have occurred…

Title: Today’s News) Current Status of Each Zone and Major Clans.txt

After causing a revolution and being chaotic for almost two months, Humanity couldn’t focus elsewhere, but this time, they’ve resolved internal complaints and solidified their territory.

[A map showing Humanity and its sub-clans splitting the former Earth Federation territory, with dozens to hundreds of sub-clans branching out like a spiderweb.jpg]

Something like this.

And the other clans are no different.

[The expanded territory of the Loki Clan, with various sub-clans chaotically mixed inside.jpg]

The Loki Clan, with its territory growing too large compared to its member count, has negotiated to hand over some areas and bases to sub-clans for management.

[The slightly expanded territory of the Justice Clan.jpg]

The Justice Clan, with its strong image-building, continues to grow as small clans and individual users join.

[Users claiming to be the New Southern Alliance being suppressed again, with their bases destroyed and new bases being built in the Central Zone.jpg]

Separate from the Pirate Empress bounty event, the Xenobia Southern Rebellion, which heated up the forums, ended with the Magellan Clan’s victory.

Moreover, since the Magellan Clan firmly allied with Humanity, some Humanity users entered Xenobia and successfully crushed the rebels, effectively stabilizing the region.

And the Central Zone is a mess like this.

Users from the four major zones gather, then inexplicably disband and regroup randomly.

The Yellow Turbans, now reduced to 6,000, have somehow formed a proper ‘clan’, contrary to initial reports.

[The ‘Free Legion’ vs ‘Libertarian’ clan battle.jpg]

The Free Legion Clan criticized the Yellow Turbans for forming a clan, leading to fights between the two across the Central Zone.

Icarus is still chilling in the center, and other Central Zone users continue to live independently.

Comments:

– [Wow, they’re living so complicatedly]

– [Are there still solo players in the Central Zone?]

– [Quite a few, some users who migrated from the four major zones have gone solo]

– [The Central Zone population is around 130k to 140k, with about 90k being solo or in small clans]

– [Wow]

– [Long live Humanity!]

“Everyone’s living so peacefully.”

As seen in the post by the fixed-nick journalist(?) ‘News Boy’, the chaotic situations of the major clans have stabilized over time through game events and other activities.

It went well…

In the hearts of all users, including me, the thought of “peaceful” naturally came to mind in many ways.

==========

The problem is that the start of such a peaceful period was marked by an event(?) where factions asked users for help.

Or maybe it’s because one of the four major factions, which was supposed to be unshakable, ended up being subdued by a user clan.

Title: Honestly, if the 4 major factions are now just 3, it’s a total joke lol

Now, if you just think that user gatherings are stronger than the factions, it’s a total joke lol

Their main ships got stolen by just one user’s fleet, and they couldn’t catch them, so they put a bounty on the users.

They keep losing bases and are shrinking, what a bunch of weaklings lol

Even the Earth Federation got wrecked by Humanity lol

Comments:

-[lolololololol]

-[This is real, I saw it]

-[What did you see?]

-[Now they’re just a common joke, yeah]

-[Humanity teamed up with their sub-clans and crushed them, and now with stronger fleets, users can definitely do the same]

-[True lol]

—————————————–

Unlike before, users have started to view the factions as much “easier” targets.

Of course, this applies to the members of the Humanity Clan and their sub-clans mentioned earlier.

-[Admit it, the factions are weak?]

-[But the damage was too much, admit it?]

-[Yeah, admit it]

-[I just don’t get why others look down on the factions lol]

-[If they tell me to do it again, I’ll run like a dog]

-[They keep talking about losing 5 or 6 bases, it’s just funny]

-[True lol]

—————————————–

Although they succeeded in bringing down a faction, no matter how it happened.

They realized how tough the factions really are when they go all out.

Even after a 3-year preparation process and severely weakening the Earth Federation’s power, they almost lost.

They just shake their heads at other users who look down on the factions.

But since that fact isn’t widely known to other users.

Most users, unlike before, have a much stronger tendency to look down on the factions’ fleets.

And not long after, this attitude and atmosphere started to manifest outwardly.

Title: Today’s News) Frequent attempts to capture high-tier ships from various factions recently

Author: News Boy

Content: [User fleets attacking the “guard fleets” patrolling within faction territories.jpg], [Gigantia-class Cruiser Battleship (Pirate), Paragon-class Dreadnought (Monster), Linguar-class Aircraft Carrier (Xenobia) listed on the market.jpg]

Quite a few users or clans are targeting the factions’ guard fleets and their high-tier main ships.

As a result, these ships are actually being listed on the market.

Comments:

-[Whoa]

-[I wanted to ride that, must be sweet]

-[lol they’re openly selling ships they put bounties on to track users?]

-[The factions are totally weak now]

-[Faction guys are totally lucky]

-[This isn’t the right meme for this situation]

—————————————–

It was as if they had become unaffiliated pirates, starting to crazily plunder the factions’ ships.
