Chapter 498

Chapter 498. Humanity is still feeling gloomy today.

Meanwhile, the finale of the 4th-anniversary event is marked by Icarus’s grand trolling (?) and the resulting tears of the users.

At that moment, the Clan Leader Antares, having been unfairly treated, was trembling with rage as he watched other top players either hitting the ceiling (?) or engaging in trolling.

Even though the faction event had ended a while ago.

Since it was conducted “separately” from that event, our Humanity Clan was still fighting tooth and nail with the Earth Federation rebels popping up everywhere almost every day…

-[The rebel spawn rate at the fortress has dropped significantly, right?]

-[For real]

-[LOL, for real]

-[Feeling happy]

-[Seems like other events got pushed back because of the 4th-anniversary event, haha]

-[Sweet]

—————————————–

With the “unfair treatment” event that only happened to them dying down, they were having the reasonable thought that the crappy 4th-anniversary event might have ended.

Of course, to be precise, it was also due to the massive and systematic counterattack by Humanity that overwhelmed the Earth Federation rebels alongside the 4th-anniversary event.

But such thoughts were short-lived.

-[Ah, damn it] (Zegal Yang)

-[I found out where the rebels went] (Zegal Yang)

-[???]

-[What, are they trying to pull off a final showdown with some hidden Jörmungandr or Yggdrasil?]

-[Ah, damn it, do we have to defend the base again?]

-[So, where are they?]

-[…Damn it] (Zegal Yang)

[Notice: Humanity Clan Emergency Announcement, rebel NPC fleets are launching a full-scale attack on ‘Alpha Centauri’]

-[What the hell?!]

-[What’s going on, how did they do it, you bastards?]

-[Those crazy bastards are blowing up expensive warp gate ships as disposable units to ram their fleet]

-[Insane]

—————————————–

Unbelievably, upon hearing that a special forces unit made up of superhumans from those rebels was charging into the 9th-level base ‘Alpha Centauri,’ the gateway to the newly designated 10th-level headquarters ‘Earth’…

Humanity Clan was left speechless, feeling their jaws drop at the rebels’ out-of-this-world tactics.

Of course, unlike before, Humanity now had the numbers and plenty of experience.

-[There’s a gate at Alpha Centauri, so use that to get here, it’s the fastest]

-[Got it]

-[Users stationed on Earth, just emergency warp the distant fleets out, it won’t give you any fleet debuffs]

-[Alpha Centauri fortress main guns are firing, buying as much time as possible with the defense fleet]

-[Good]

—————————————–

In an instant, they came up with countermeasures and actively responded to the rebel offensive, which included Jörmungandr-class ships.

And Humanity’s thorough response yielded excellent results, as expected.

Just 5 hours after hearing the news…

[Notice: Alpha Centauri defense battle cleanly won ^^]

-[We won]

-[Victory!]

-[GG]

-[Damn, I was really scared when they did that suicide charge with the Jörmungandr]

-[LOL, for real]

—————————————–

They thoroughly crushed the desperate rebel offensive, proving themselves as the true successors of the Earth Federation.

But in order to block the rebels’ final offensive, which included Jörmungandr-class ships, Humanity’s main forces…

Most of them were summoned to Alpha Centauri at that time.

The real dagger of the rebels was aimed at ‘Earth’ and ‘Moon’, which were left empty as the forces were summoned…

A moment later.

-[These guys, they blew up the Jörmungandr-Class and Yggdrasil-Class dedicated shipyards at the Moon Shipyard and fled to the Central Zone](Zegal Yang)

-[Oh, f***]

-[F***?]

-[Wait, what were the rest of the users stationed at Earth and the Moon Base doing?]

-[They were busy killing rebels, said they needed more troops and took everyone]

-[Oh]

-[Does that make sense? They had no means to move the fleet?]

-[The rebel NPC superhumans, 10,000 of them, charged at the Moon Base](Zegal Yang)

-[The users docked at Earth and the Moon Base gathered the remaining superhumans and counterattacked, barely preventing the base from falling](Zegal Yang)

—————————————–

While most of the fleet and superhuman forces were summoned to Alpha Centauri…

The rebels, using their entire superhuman forces as bait, headed to the Moon Base via small shuttles.

They then destroyed the only Jörmungandr-Class and Yggdrasil-Class dedicated shipyards in the entire former Earth Federation territory, now under Humanity’s control.

Antares, the Clan Leader of Humanity, already irritated by the gacha, felt his blood pressure skyrocket upon hearing this news.

Fortunately, all the rebel superhumans deployed were successfully eliminated, preventing a potential future sabotage event.

This somehow preserved Antares’ sanity, which was on the verge of exploding due to high blood pressure.

Of course, Humanity’s own capabilities prevented the worst-case scenario—where the Moon Base, with its fortress main gun and defense fleet intact, would fall into rebel hands.

This would have led to Humanity’s headquarters, ‘Earth’, being bombarded indiscriminately by the Moon Base…

Regardless of the reasons, this incident was a significant humiliation for Humanity.

Title: Breaking News) Humanity’s Level 9 base, ‘Moon Base’, almost fell to the Federation forces

Author: News Boy

Content: [Photo of the aftermath of a battle between superhumans at the Moon Base.jpg]

According to current information, the rebel fleet launched a final massive offensive at Alpha Centauri, including Jörmungandr-Class ships.

While Humanity was trying to block this, the Moon Base’s surveillance weakened.

Taking advantage of this gap, rebel NPC superhumans infiltrated via shuttles and conducted internal sabotage.

Detailed information will be provided later by Humanity.

Comments:

-[How do you let them get this close to the headquarters lol]

-[Humanity’s too busy dealing with Earth Federation and other stuff, they’re drained lol]

-[Maybe Antares should step down and let another user take over?]

-[Why are NPCs so smart?]

-[They’re not just NPCs, they’re practically the same as us]

-[It’s already been revealed that they’re not just robots following programmed algorithms like in the old days]

-[Sigh]

—————————————–

As this information spread through the media (?), Antares and the executives worked tirelessly to stabilize their leadership and handle the aftermath.

However, all this suffering of Humanity was actually very much intended…
