Chapter 515. Crazy strategies work sometimes, and sometimes they don’t. (1)

==========

If it were just them freaking out among themselves, that would be one thing.

But these crazy folks started openly asking for support from all directions. Who knows what they were thinking.

Title: We Need Help

We need your help to resist Icarus’s tyrannical dictatorship.

Please support us in reclaiming freedom in the Central Zone.

Comments:

-[???]

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[What are these guys even doing? LOL]

-[They captured one Level 1 base and now they’re rebelling?]

-[Yeah, the Central Zone needs some chaos like this LOL]

—————————————–

And it wasn’t just them vaguely asking for support. They were also openly pointing fingers.

On top of that, they weren’t just using the gallery—they were spamming the global chat, trying to wage a public opinion war.

No events going on, so let’s just inject some dopamine~

No joke, they’re seriously asking for help from everywhere.

They’ll probably start asking the four major clans for support soon.

Comments:

-[LOLOLOLOL]

-[This is hilarious]

-[They’re even asking regular users in the Central Zone for help]

-[Why would the Gold Mas help them??]

-[Exactly]

—————————————–

But most users just shook their heads or laughed at the desperate antics of the B554 base users.

Some even gave them a stern reality check…

Title: B554 guys, just give up and surrender quickly. It’s the best option;;

Especially since they keep asking nearby users for support.

The Central Base Alliance openly supports Icarus, so that’s pointless.

And among the major clans in the Central Zone, the three closest to you have no reason to help.

The only possibility is the Freedom Legion clan, which has a reason to counter Icarus,

but they’re not in a position to care about Icarus right now LOLOLOL.

Lastly, most of the Central Zone’s regular users, known as nomads or raiders, would rather feast on you than help.

From what you’re doing, it seems like you’ve been gaslit or manipulated into this mess.

If I were you, I’d surrender immediately, no cap.

They’ll probably go easy on you if you surrender.

Comments:

-[The content is so nice, but why is the username like that?]

-[The username ruins everything.]

-[But seriously, why are they doing this?]

-[Typical case of someone rushing ahead, thinking everyone else will join in.]

-[The answer has been revealed.]

-[Self-Q&A? That’s just sad.]

—————————————–

==========

Sadly, the users of the B554 base, who have become our beloved idols, were too chaotic to respond to these reality checks.

Especially the clan leader of ‘Date Palm,’ ‘Yazanamu,’ who started this rebellion believing the rumor that “Everyone will definitely join us!” was now in full panic mode.

—————————————–

[Yazanamu – Alliance Chat]

-[Help us.]

-[You said you’d help!]

-[Our base defense fleet is wrecked, why is no one responding?]

-[Hello?]

-[Hey!!!]

-[HEY!]

-[YOU F***ING A**HOLES!!!!] (Yazanamu)

—————————————–

Of course, despite Yazanamu spamming the chat like crazy, the Central Base Alliance…

The alliance didn’t respond with a single word.

For political maneuvering, ‘trust’ is fundamentally necessary, so considering the usual attitude of the Base Alliance, this was truly an incomprehensible action.

Already in a panic, Yazanamu and the users of the B554 base were thrown into chaos, believing that the Base Alliance had ‘abandoned’ them.

==========

Then, defying everyone’s expectations, the Date Palm Clan boldly executed a crazy move.

Witnessing what ‘true madness’ looks like, the Central Base Alliance hurriedly tried to cut their losses.

Of course, cutting off their tail like this would likely become a major obstacle for the Base Alliance in future political maneuvers…

[Icarus has entered the chat.]

-[We all know what’s up, right?](Icarus)

-[Let’s pretend we don’t know anything?](Icarus)

-[Oh]

-[Whether you’re active inside or not, or creating your own faction, it’s fine](Icarus)

-[But if you act like this, it won’t be fun for anyone, right?](Icarus)

-[Sure, sure]

-[What’s the Date Palm Clan? What do they do?]

-[LOL]

—————————————–

Each base was weaker than Icarus, but combined, they were effectively the strongest faction in the Central Zone.

Seeing Icarus, the main party, take a gentlemanly approach to negotiate instead of going head-to-head, the users of the Base Alliance put their heads together and pondered for a while.

They decided that negotiating with Icarus and taking a step back was much better than helping the Date Palm Clan, who had skipped WWE and gone straight to UFC.

They accepted Icarus’s ‘offer they couldn’t refuse’ and made a decision.

And who would have thought, political maneuvering at its finest…

-[By the way, it seems like one of the gold transport fleets moving between our bases has gone missing. If someone picks it up, it could be a big problem]

-[LOL]

-[[Coordinates of the gold transport fleet.jpg]]

-[Oops]

-[Let’s continue to get along well]

-[Sure](Icarus)

—————————————–

Subtly offering a bribe (?) to Icarus, they revealed their intention to ‘get along well from now on^^’.

==========

And perhaps because all the strings they were holding had suddenly snapped.

Watching the B554 base, where the mentally shattered Date Palm Clan was located, on the command screen, I called in the Tanhoizer from each base and the main force that had been deployed for user pressure.

“Just have the Leviathan Fleet go and unleash a full bombardment. That should do it.”

-“That would be something.”

-“With around 200 Jörmungandr-Class and Ouroboros-Class ships firing all at once, it would be an incredible sight.”

I summoned the Leviathan Fleet, which had been pressuring a settlement, to turn our Date Palm friends into mashed dates.

But at that very moment.

“Commander, do we really need to use the Leviathan Fleet to handle this?”

“Huh?”

While other superhumans, even Belial and Tiamat, who were experts in fleet operations, all agreed.

My adjutant, Jessica, suddenly voiced this opinion, making me wonder why she was saying this.

Of course, that doubt was short-lived.

“Commander, if we let the Leviathan Fleet finish this… you might be called a ‘Leviathan Fleet one-trick pony’ by other commanders, you know?”

“…Go on, explain in detail.”

Listening to Jessica’s words with a complex and subtle gaze, I realized there was some truth to what she was saying.
