Ch.338Let’s gooooooo! (4)

After about 30 more minutes, the remaining three destroyers that had been trying to act as evasion tanks ultimately couldn’t escape annihilation.

As a result, Princess Luca, who was watching beside me, was giving me an extremely sharp glare…

<Event>

<My babies…>

<Content>

<Though she received sufficient compensation, it seems she’s upset that half of the monster fleet she’s been preciously nurturing has been completely shredded.>

<The look Princess Luca is giving you is, by any measure, not a pleasant one.>

<Result>

<The ‘Blew Up the Princess’s Fleet’ trait has been added to your relationship with the ‘Space Monster’!>

<‘Blew Up the Princess’s Fleet’: Trust -1>

<Current relationship status with ‘Space Monster’: +103>

—————————————–

Is this some kind of warning not to blow things up like this next time?

I simply nodded in understanding at the event message that naturally appeared.

But thanks to our sacrifice, the fleet led by Arcadia was rampaging like a fish in water.

A 2.5x power difference?

What good is a mere 2.5x advantage against a user who reached ranker status purely through skill?

Moreover, I had already sacrificed my entire fleet in a desperate attack.

“Commander, we only have 10 spatial torpedoes and 24 light torpedoes left.”

“Is that so? Then use those to attack the propulsion system of that battleship trying to check Arcadia. The main turrets are too tough anyway.”

“Understood.”

“Oh, and attack only with the spatial torpedoes. Save the light torpedoes to focus on the enemy’s smaller ships depending on the situation.”

“Understood, Commander.”

As we kept exploiting openings while stripping most of Neranjara’s armaments, the enemy NPC fleet showed the very embodiment of confusion, getting shredded by my and Arcadia’s coordinated attacks.

Of course, if Ouroboros could fire its concentrated main cannon just one more time…

Our NPC fleet might be able to turn the tables, but…

“Quantum concentration section secured!”

“Energy transmission compartment secured!”

“Ouroboros can no longer fire its main cannon!”

“Good.”

There was no way I hadn’t anticipated this.

Because our assault forces had prioritized occupying sections related to the “main cannon,” our Ouroboros had suddenly been reduced to a state where it couldn’t use its main weapon.

…Though they’d only disabled the main cannon.

Somehow, the occupation situation inside Ouroboros wasn’t looking very promising.

“New barricade and defensive forces confirmed ahead!”

“Push through!”

“Enemy!”

“Block them! Hurry!”

The forces I deployed were all “Superhuman Troops” or Griyanar’s special “Chimeras,” or even something that combined Chimeras and Superhumans.

And despite having Partia, who served as a damage-tanking bruiser that normal mobs could barely scratch…

Due to the unexpectedly large number of defensive forces inside, our occupation speed was becoming sluggish.

Moreover, Ouroboros’s command center must have been continuously requesting support.

Some enemy ships kept docking with Ouroboros and deploying additional defensive forces inside the ship.

For my forces, who couldn’t receive any reinforcements since all our ships had been destroyed, this was truly burdensome.

When Neranjara still had weapons left, we could blow up those docking ships with torpedoes and celebrate, but…

“Commander, Neranjara reports they have no weapons left.”

“Can’t we collect from ship wreckage?”

“That’s impossible. The No. 2 cruiser exploded due to ammunition storage detonation, and the others are too close, aren’t they?”

“Hmm.”

Now that Neranjara had exhausted all its weapons except for anti-aircraft interceptor missiles, with no way to get more…

Without any interference, surrounding destroyers and patrol ships continued to dock and deploy additional forces, putting more pressure on my troops.

==========

Of course, no matter how many forces they threw at us.

Each of our troops was at least D-rank.

No, the power of the Superhuman Troops wearing tentacle(?) bio-combat suits made with Griyanar’s full effort, or the Superhuman-Chimeras…

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they were worth not just a hundred, but a thousand enemy troops each.

While our numerically superior Chimeras served as meat shields, the Superhuman Troops continued their offensive.

Despite being special forces in their own right, Ouroboros’s internal troops, who had set up temporary barricades with medium machine guns, were being mercilessly swept away.

Seeing this, our Jessica tilted her head and her large rabbit ears in confusion.

“Contrary to your reaction, Commander, we’re still pushing them back?”

I shrugged at Jessica’s reaction and answered in a calm tone.

“That’s because they’re Superhumans, of course.”

“Hmm.”

“They don’t have special abilities like the characters from gacha, nor can they level up, so they have limitations.”

Saying that, I thought it would be good for Jessica to understand in detail, so I opened the gallery wiki tab to show her the relevant information.

Title: Thoughts on the Superhuman Soldier Training Facility.txt

Author: Wiki Historian mk-32

Content: [Superhuman Soldier Basic Setting.jpg]

Once you build the Superhuman Soldier Training Facility at level 8, it becomes what distinguishes between users and NPCs

Why is that?

Because those Superhuman Soldiers are on the same level as C~D rank Superhumans from gacha

You might wonder what the problem is

Even a D-rank Superhuman can mow down hundreds of special forces like the assault troops we commonly use

C-rank can handle up to a thousand

So what does this mean?

If you invest enough resources, no matter how thoroughly NPC fleets defend

When user ships crash in and deploy Superhuman Soldiers en masse, they can’t stop it

Of course, if there’s an A-rank or higher Superhuman defending, deploying regular Superhuman Soldiers would just be a waste of money

But from B-rank and below, they’re worth their cost

And surprisingly many people don’t know this

After building the <Superhuman Soldier Training Facility> at level 8, C-rank and below no longer appear in gacha

Comments:

-[???]

-[Wait wtf about that last part?]

-[I was too lazy to build the Superhuman Soldier Training Facility and just rolled gacha, got 10 D-ranks, could I have avoided that?]

-˪[LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-˪[You idiot LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-˪[Oh damn]

-[So you’re saying we should build it?]

-˪[You have to build all existing buildings to advance to the next level anyway]

—————————————–

“Look at how many opponents a D-rank Superhuman can handle there.”

“It says D-rank can handle hundreds, and C-rank thousands.”

“And is the number of Superhuman Soldiers we deployed this time small? Of course, it’s less than those defending Ouroboros, but…”

“With the Chimeras and Superhuman-Chimeras combined, we’re talking about 100,000 units, right?”

“Yes, and with Partia rampaging too, how could they possibly stop us?”

After saying that and folding my arms with a snort, Jessica nodded in understanding.

However, she still couldn’t understand why I had shown a somewhat strangely “fearful” reaction.

I unfolded my arms at Jessica’s words, then took a moment to carefully consider my word choice.

Having finally thought of an appropriate word, I nodded lightly and spoke calmly.

“It’s tedious.”

“…”

“Unless there’s a Superhuman inside Ouroboros, it’s just buying time, and that’s a bit…”

“…”

In response to my reaction, Jessica could only show an “expression filled with very complex and subtle emotions” that I seemed to have seen once before.
