Ch.344The Rumor of Raising a 400,000-Strong Army

And after my revelation(?) exposed Kraken as male.
The Kraken-obsessed union members who had been occupying the gallery and causing chaos finally decided to disband voluntarily…
Unfortunately, when one path is blocked, people always find another way.

Title: From now on, Kraken is neither male nor female, but a ‘female creature’

What the f***
Who are you to try categorizing by mere male and female?
Our Kraken has the right to decide their own gender, ya know
Comments:
-[But the monster ambassador=the Kraken itself said it was male;;]

-˪[If he’s going this far, isn’t this true love? He became the PC activist he used to hate for the sake of love]
-˪[That seems quite difficult]

Among the remaining members, half of them, for whatever reason.
Were now showing signs of moral degradation, insisting that Kraken was neither male nor female but a ‘female creature.’
But it wouldn’t be fair to say the other half was any more sensible.

“…Sigh, these idiots are for real.”
“Sometimes there are Commanders like that too.”

<Would you like to proceed with deleting posts from these users and blocking them?>
<Community Block: Gallery>
<Block Duration: 15 days>
<(Y)/N>

After witnessing their continued mental breakdowns, I and other user moderators finally intervened, collectively issuing full blocks.
And thus it ended with all those shitposts they had left behind being mass deleted.

And a month after all that happened…
Actually, a month and a week after.
While the construction of the <Dreadnought Platform> was completed and the construction of a new <Additional Docking Facility> was underway.
“Commander, Commander.”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Our resources are about to hit the maximum limit, what should we do?”
“…They’re filling up faster than expected.”
I was momentarily taken aback by the news that resources were being replenished faster than anticipated.
Of course, seeing my reaction, Jessica nodded understandingly.
“Well, you have over 1,000 bases docked at two different outposts, Commander?”
“Hmm.”
“Although the original settlement Commanders who were docked have all left as their time expired… the rest didn’t have such restrictions.”
“Hmmmm.”
“Thanks to that, we’re getting enormous amounts of resources every week. Over 3 million minerals and more than 500,000 rare resources.”
‘Oh shit.’
I had vaguely thought we’d get around 10 million in total over a month.
But hearing that we were getting over 12 million in minerals alone, not in total…
I expressed my satisfaction at this very interesting development.
And then in the midst of that.
“Wait, is our resource storage completely full now?”
Recalling that Jessica had said we were ‘about to’ hit the maximum limit, not that we had already hit it, I expressed my doubt…
“No, our current resource storage maximum is 28.5 million, and we’ve filled about 25.5 million with minerals and rare resources combined.”
“Hmm… I see?”
She shook her head saying that wasn’t the case, and mentioned we had about 1 million in spare capacity.
Remembering that the next week would start in three days, I asked another question.
“Jessica, what’s our current daily resource income?”
“If we’re talking net income, about 200,000 minerals and 80,000 rare resources, excluding variable weekly quests and eliminating nearby mobs.”
“Then in three days, we should start mass hiring mercenaries for the Tannhäuser operation.”
“…Heeng.”

And finally at the moment of the decisive battle, D-DAY starting at 12:01 AM.
When most users would be lying in bed, tangled up with their Superhumans, or spending time with their Adjutants.
“Yaaawn… time to go to bed.”
“IT’S MY TURN!”
“Ah, no!”
I called over the mercenary dispatch manager who was just about to go to sleep, and invested most of the resources I had.
“Give me all the mercenaries you can get for 13.5 million minerals and 4.5 million rare resources.”
“Hieeeek.”
I was investing more than half of my 20 million minerals and 8.5 million rare resources purely as recruitment costs to hire a massive number of mercenaries.
Of course, because one single mercenary dispatch office was processing such an enormous amount of resources, it took longer than expected…
But after frantically mashing the recruitment button and gathering them like crazy.
“A-all hired, Commander Icarus.”
“Woooooah.”

I nodded with satisfaction at the sight of ‘mercenary corps numbers’ that were more than 5 times, and ship numbers nearly 8 times higher than what I had mobilized when occupying Avalon.
“War is all about quantity, indeed.”
“That really is a lot.”
Of course, as that insane resource consumption showed, we could barely last 2 days with our remaining resources.
“Jessica, open all the resource boxes in storage right away.”
“Yes.”
“And after you’ve opened them all, don’t forget to open the monster bio-containers at the docking facility and store those resources in the warehouse too.”
“I’ll do that.”
After instructing her to open the resource boxes obtained from the previous mini-event, as well as the ‘bio-containers’ that I had been feeding to pirate ships and wild monsters without using them.
I also invested about 30,000 of my accumulated 43,000 gold to purchase resources from the auction market and stack them in the resource warehouse.
And finally…

<Common Resource Box x4>

‘Yes, I knew this would happen.’
I also used the gacha I had bought from the event shop to obtain resource boxes.
Combined with the resources that were automatically deposited from other users after a week.
“Jessica, how many resources do we have left?”
“About 12.4 million minerals and 5.3 million rare resources.”
“As planned. With this, our fleet can fight for 3 more days.”
“Hueh.”
Seeing that a sufficient amount had accumulated, I immediately gathered the 2,535 mercenary corps that had assembled near Avalon.
Along with my main force including Kraken, Ouroboros, and Hresvelgr, plus Rodos and Avalonia.
And finally, the pirate alliance escort fleet that had naturally joined us because Marian was coming along.
After confirming that all my Superhumans were also in position, I immediately used the <Ultra-Large Fleet Long-Range Teleport System> created by docking with Avalon.
To move near Tannhäuser and begin the full-scale battle.
