I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.276The World Always Requires You to Watch Your Back (3)

by fnovelpia

Of course, despite Ratten Water—no, Raksha’s—confident attitude…

Everyone was deep in thought, constantly pondering their next move.

—————————————–

-[Clan leader, I like your spirit, but how exactly are we going to crush them?]

-[Try hiring as many mercenaries as possible, and gather all the faction delegations too]

—————————————–

As solutions to their concerns, they came up with their own methods.

They mobilized the “faction delegations” from clan members’ bases.

They made tremendous effoooooorts to hire mercenaries they had previously ignored, trying to somehow compensate for their shortage of small ships.

And in addition to their efforts…

—————————————–

-[What about Monalisa’s clan?]

-[Didn’t the Magellan Clan say they’d help us?]

-[Yeah]

-[They’re sending about 300 users to support us from the rear]

-[Oh nice]

-[Will those 300 just be swarming with small ships?]

-[Not exactly, they said they have a normal composition, but they’re sending users who have more small ships]

-[Good]

—————————————–

With additional reinforcements coming from the “Magellan” Clan—who would receive weekly resources and gold in exchange for helping take the Level 7 stronghold—they felt more confident.

Though it would be tough, they believed they could somehow cover the gaps with individual skill.

…That was the thought gradually filling their minds.

Of course, even with reinforcements, the situation remained extremely dangerous in reality.

Some cautious opinions emerged, questioning what would happen if the Magellan Clan betrayed them.

—————————————–

-[No need to worry about betrayal]

-[Magellan Clan will take the vanguard position, we need to penetrate the enemy’s front line like a wedge while they tank]

-[I see]

-[What about Magellan’s main force?]

-[Magellan Clan’s location is quite far from here, it would take more than a week for them to arrive, so no problem]

-[OK]

—————————————–

Since they had “somewhat” prepared for the possibility of the Magellan Clan’s betrayal…

Their pride wouldn’t let them believe that if the 3rd-ranked player succeeded in a siege alone, they, the 2nd-ranked, couldn’t do the same.

That pride, commonly called “face,” had unknowingly taken over their thinking.

And this pride-clouded judgment that made them focus solely on the stronghold siege…

Would later bring them devastating consequences.

Even until D-Day arrived and those consequences hit them, they never noticed what was happening.

Raksha and the Ratten Water Clan, who originally had no intention of attacking a Level 7 stronghold but got swept up in others’ excitement.

And the 350 Magellan Clan users who came to “support” the Ratten Water Clan.

A total of 432 users arrived at the battlefield formed by 3,000 stealth ships that came to watch, just like during Icarus’s siege.

They began their offensive to conquer the Level 7 stronghold “Tunguska Fortress City.”

They demonstrated an approach completely disconnected from the game’s intended play style—relying purely on user physical skills to carry the battle.

As a result, other users watching the real-time broadcast couldn’t help but express their amazement at the incredible situation.

Title: LMFAO This is seriously epic content

Is this guy filming a solo action movie or what?

The way that destroyer perfectly dodges to make enemies waste their firepower.

Or how they launch all 3 torpedoes without wasting a single one, hitting the bridge and rendering the ship unable to navigate.

And how they prioritize taking out enemy small ships first to make it easier for the carrier-based aircraft that arrive later. Absolute legend.

Comments:

-[Skills approved]

-[So the rumors about maxed physical skills were true]

-[How do you even dodge that?]

-˪[“Skillfully”]

Title: The 2nd and 3rd ranked players definitely have different playstyles

The 3rd-ranked player deployed 50,000 ships or used special ships for irregular tactics

But his strategy itself followed orthodox methods

Meanwhile Raksha is just crushing everything with physical skill as rumored

Comments:

-[Looking closely, he’s not lacking in fundamentals either]

-˪[Larger ships maintain distance and provide fire support]

-˪[While he and the other veterans maneuver small ships to slice through the security fleet formation]

Title: Ratten Water is definitely skilled

In this game or anywhere else, when you become a veteran, there’s this thing:

You start thinking your physical skills will work in any situation

But realistically, physical skills can’t overcome everything

Even if you’re a superhuman with 0.001-second reaction time, you can’t pull off those moves in large fleet battles or with slow ships

Inexperienced players who think they’re skilled often charge in relying only on their reflexes and get destroyed

But Raksha and the Ratten Water Clan aren’t showing any of that

They only use physical skills in high-mobility ambush battles, not recklessly charging in with large ships firing in all directions

Comments:

-[This seems like excessive praise]

-[Not wrong, but feels like you’re fawning too much]

-[Gay gay ya]

-[Physical skills aside, you need fundamentals to reach the rankings]

-[By that logic, 2nd and 3rd rank are similar, using unconventional tactics but fighting with fundamentals at the core]

-˪[Oh that’s true]

-˪[That’s exactly it]

—————————————–

While users were expressing such admiration, Raksha and the Ratten Water Clan,

Along with the Magellan Clan’s support forces, completely annihilated the Tunguska Fortress City’s security fleet.

They then demonstrated an impressive kill-death ratio against the combat fleet that emerged afterward, fighting tooth and nail until…

About two days after the battle began.

Title says it all

-[Nice]

-[They actually won]

-[Congratulations]

-[Congrats]

-[Congratsssss]

—————————————–

Finally, after a bloody battle where the Ratten Water Clan and Magellan Clan support forces lost 70% and 85% of their strength respectively…

They managed to annihilate all defensive forces of the Level 7 “Tunguska Fortress City.”

Having conquered a Level 7 stronghold, previously thought accessible only to massive clans with over 10,000 users, the Ratten Water Clan members and their leader Raksha shouted victory cheers as they began preparing for the final large-scale assault to claim the stronghold.

But that moment was exactly what the Magellan Clan—or rather, their leader “Monalisa”—had been waiting for…
