I thought we’d be doing compressed versions of fleet battles and base development like before
But from the start we’re stuck in trench warfare at a defense line that’s barely hanging on lololol
Users who prepared for mobile warfare meta are frantically trying to control their ships while shitting bricks lololol

Because that’s exactly what I’m doing right now lololol

Comments:
-[Upvoted due to urgency]
-[lolololololol]

-└[What did you do?]
-└[Firepower meta to overwhelm them quickly]
-└[What, did you bring a bunch of dreadnoughts?]
-└[Brought 5 siege-type battleships to smash through]

The answer is to counter mass with mass!
Comments:
-[What kind of madness is this???]
-[Each large carrier launches nearly 5,000 aircraft, so with 12 carriers that’s almost 60,000 aircraft]
-└[Those aren’t just large carriers, there are aviation battleships too]
-└[With the reinforced aircraft hangar upgrades, it’s probably around 70,000 aircraft]
-[My Lord, we still have 12 aircraft carriers left!]
-└[You Yi Sun-sin fanboy…]

Against a monster fleet of about 3,000 ships mindlessly charging in for Round 1…
While users were mindlessly throwing in their usual fleets and subsequently shitting bricks in panic, inside the headquarters of the mega-clan “Humanity” which now had over 50,000 official members and was approaching 60,000…
“The admins held this new event as we requested.”
“Things worked out well.”
“But what’s the price?”
“…They said they’ll need our help with manipulating public opinion in the galleries and elsewhere when needed.”
“Not a bad deal.”
Surprisingly, the implementation and execution of this event was actually the result of negotiations between the Humanity clan and the admins.
A truly shocking revelation was emerging.
—
The situation was as follows:
—
<Chat log between Admins and Humanity-Antares>
-[Dear Admins]
-[Why aren’t you holding another event?](Antares)
-[Excuse me?](GM)
-[Didn’t we already give you the reroll event?](GM2)
—
Antares, who was both a moderator, the #1 ranked player, and the leader of Humanity clan with nearly 60,000 members, confronted the admins about the event situation.
Seeing the #1 ranked Antares openly expressing dissatisfaction, the admins tried to respond appropriately rather than ignoring him.
Of course, such responses only led to a lot of back-and-forth.
To summarize, their position was “We just had a gacha event, so let’s just skip it this time,” but…
As our protagonist Icarus had mentioned before, that gacha event, even in the best case scenario, was an extremely short “event” that lasted only a few seconds to a few minutes.
—
<Chat log between Admins and Humanity-Antares>
-[Honestly, isn’t it embarrassing to call something that takes less than 10 minutes an “event”?](Antares)
-[Ahem](GM3)
-[Well… that’s true](GM)
-[Besides that, it’s been almost three months since we had a proper event after that mini-event, hasn’t it?](Antares)
-[Hmm, that’s true but](GM2)
—
“We need to say more.”
“Remember that thing from before, not the mini-event but the large-scale one?”
“Let’s point out that mini-events take three months, and it’s been over six months since the last large-scale event.”
“That’s it, and let’s throw in some other things while we’re at it…”
While it appeared on the surface that Antares alone was confronting the admins who used the nickname GM, in reality, his closest clan members had gathered behind him to provide “collective intelligence” without the admins knowing.
As the suddenly more intelligent Antares continued making sharp points, the admins judged that “Antares” who had initiated the chat with them was indeed correct.
After such negotiations, they finally agreed to hold the “Last Resistance” event.
And as the event was about to proceed this way, Antares (+ Humanity) put forward additional demands.
—
<Chat log between Admins and Humanity-Antares>
-[Please make the event period more generous](Antares)
-[Honestly, you always give us about two weeks, but it’s effectively only one week, so many users can’t play properly](Antares)
-[Hmm](GM2)
-[That’s not a bad point](GM)
-[Actually, there have been many complaints about this before](GM)
—
Of course, when it came to unreasonable demands, the admins firmly rejected them.
—
<Chat log between Admins and Humanity-Antares>
-[Additional gacha rewards? That’s a bit much](GM3)
-[Hahaha](Antares)
-[I’ll just assume that was a negotiation tactic and ignore it](GM2)
—
“Ah, I guess that won’t work.”
“I mean, asking for more gacha is basically asking for strategic resources unless you’re as unlucky as Icarus.”
“Hehehe.”
There was a lot of back and forth as they pushed and pulled in various ways.
—
As these negotiations proceeded successfully and the event structure was taking shape, the admins suddenly expressed suspicion toward Antares who had been chatting with them.
Of course, Antares only responded with empty platitudes.
—
<Chat log between Admins and Humanity-Antares>
-[By the way, Antares, why are you so passionate about this event?](GM)
-[Well, it’s all for the users’ benefit?](Antares)
-[Hahaha](GM)
-[It’s not like we don’t know what kind of person you are. Don’t you want something?]
-[Hahaha](Antares)
-[<Nervous frog emoticon>]
—
The admins weren’t ignorant of Antares’ tendencies and various other things.
They put pressure on him with the implied question “So what do you really want?”
—
<Chat log between Admins and Humanity-Antares>
-[Anyway, the event will proceed as you wished](GM2)
-[That’s good](Antares)
-[In return, you’ll need to fulfill one of our requests in the future]
-[Hahaha, of course](Antares)
—
Just as they had used the Loki clan in the past, the admins subtly indicated their intention to use the Humanity clan in the future.
Antares and Humanity accepted this arrangement, and that’s how this large-scale event quietly began.
