Chapter 465

Chapter 465. Smile and flip them off.

==========

The story of the Anti-Faction friends wasn’t exactly beyond my expectations.

—————————————–

[Anti-Faction Leader – Icarus Chat Room]

-[Dude]

-[Hey dude]

-[?] (Icarus)

-[Join us in crushing the Pro-Faction]

-[Since you’re solo, you should agree with us, right?]

-[Right?]

-[Yeah, that’s what they say]

-[WTF is this?] (Icarus)

—————————————–

To be precise, it went beyond my expectations in a different direction.

They were acting so blatantly pushy that, as the person involved, I couldn’t help but think, “What the hell is wrong with these guys?”

And of course, there was no way I was going to take that kind of behavior lightly.

—————————————–

[Anti-Faction Leader – Icarus Chat Room]

-[Get lost, losers ㅗㅗ] (Icarus)

-[What kind of nonsense are you spouting?] (Icarus)

-[Oh, wait]

[You have blocked the Anti-Faction Leader.]

—————————————–

Showing a reaction of utter disbelief, I immediately blocked them.

Then, I decided to post on the gallery to openly express my negative reaction to their outburst.

—————————————–

Title: People who act recklessly against a Faction are doing something seriously dangerous.

For example, even just considering the Monsters,

There must be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of ships in the main fleet that are on par with my Kraken.

Did you forget about that?

At least I’m not going to fight a Faction.

Yeah.

Comments:

-[Scared?]

-˪[Yeah, scared] (Icarus)

-˪[If it’s true, what can you do?]

-˪[In situations like this, don’t just accept it, say something, damn it]

-[Thinking about it, you’re right?]

-[The truth is always harsh]

—————————————–

Of course, the guys who sent me such inexperienced chats started trying to refute my post in their own way.

—————————————–

Title: We have Rafflesia-Class and Gigantia-Class ships too!

But why should we fear the Faction fleet?

Let’s go!!!

Comments:

-[They’ll run out of fuel soon, lololol]

-[“But… the oil is running out.”]

-[LOLOLOL]

-[But doesn’t the Faction fleet have more and better ships than that?]

-˪[For real lol]

-[The more they talk, the uglier they look]

-[Are these people always like this?]

-˪[Yeah]

—————————————–

Instead, they only proved their own shortcomings and ended up being roasted in the gallery and chat rooms.

Watching that kind of behavior, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief.

Anyway, with those thoughts, I closed the gallery and focused on handling my daily and weekly quests.

While also continuing to level up my Rafflesia-Class ship, I was about to dive into my tasks when…

-Beep beep! Beep beep!

“Huh?”

“Oh, Commander, Marian is calling again.”

Hearing that Marian, whom I had just finished talking to, was calling again, I felt puzzled but immediately told them to connect the call.

As soon as the call connected…

-“Hey, oppa?”

“MariMariMarian, what’s going on that you’re calling again?”

-“Well, you see, oppa? It’s better if you stay in the Central Zone and don’t move to other areas for a while.”

“…Oh.”

It felt like when you do something nice for the kid who’s usually ignored at an American school…

And they say, “My stomach hurts right now, go to the bathroom and don’t come out, just wait there.”

Hearing something that gave off that kind of vibe, I stayed silent for a moment before…

“Well, I don’t really have any reason to leave here anyway, so… do what you gotta do, okay?”

-“Hehe, you better keep that promise, okay?”

Marian’s…

Nodding at the warning, I decided to ignore any mercenary requests from other areas for the time being and lay low.

==========

But hearing such warnings wasn’t something unique to our Icarus.

Even Mona Lisa and Princess Xenobia, who could be said to have a relationship similar to Icarus and Marian, as well as Lapis, were giving similar warnings.

“Ms. Mona Lisa, are you aware of this?”

“Muuuuh…”

“There’s going to be a large-scale subjugation order soon, so please make sure to inform your commanders under you, okay? Hehe.”

==========

Additionally, as warning letters started flying in to representative clans like the Loki Clan and Justice Clan, the executives of these mega-clans began to seriously manage and supervise their members, sensing that some big event was about to unfold.

And naturally, due to such large-scale movements, there was a continuous stir among the four major clans, excluding Humanity.

[This is an anonymous chat room.]

[Let’s all use polite language and maintain etiquette.]

-[Guys]

-[Doesn’t something feel off lately?]

-[You feel it too?]

-[Honestly, except for Humanity, the other clans seem like they’re about to start a war or something.]

-[It’s not war, but more like they’re preparing for something, right?]

==========

Title: Yo, the vibe lately feels kinda off?

Something’s up.

Those guys seem to know something but aren’t talking, just keeping it among themselves.

Comments:

-[Is it some kind of faction clash event?]

-[Oh, that sounds fun.]

-[How many users are gonna get dragged into this big event?]

-[Events usually involve all users.]

-[That’s not the point, damn it;;]

-[Roughly, Loki has like 65,000 or 70,000, and Justice has slightly less, right?]

-[Magellan only has about 30,000 or 40,000, so combined, it’s slightly more than Humanity and the sub-clan alliance.]

-[Ooooh]

==========

From chat rooms to galleries.

Every community space was buzzing, sensing that something was off.

Of course, these suspicions were based on the unusual movements of the clans, which are essentially user groups.

Most users were just thinking, “Ah, are the clans about to go at it again?”…

After such a chaotic and complicated day, the next day arrived.

==========

<<[Global Announcement]>>

[Information about the ‘Counterattack of the Factions’ event!]

[The four major factions have long been annoyed by commanders capturing their fleets within their territories.]

[With the Earth Federation collapsing, the commanders’ clans ended up taking their place.]

[Additionally, the recent increase in fleet captures and robberies has gone beyond tolerable levels.]

[The remaining three factions, excluding the already fallen Earth Federation, have officially drawn their swords!]

[Event Details]

[The event will start in one week.]

[The event will last exactly four weeks.]

[Commanders, either individually or as clans, will have a ‘favorability’ rating checked separately from existing trust relationships with each faction.]

[Commanders and clans with favorability below a certain level will face full-scale invasions and suppression from those factions.]

[More details will be provided in the update next week.]

==========

‘Ooooh.’

With such a juicy event about to unfold, I, along with all the users, couldn’t help but react with excitement in various ways.
