<Icarus-Indefatigable-Menaldu Chat Room>

-[The maximum resources I can store right now is 31.5 million]

-[If you want me to go “all in” like you guys want, I obviously need at least that much](Icarus)

-[Wow](Indefatigable)

-[Oh w o w](Menaldu)

—————————————–

At my words, Indefatigable and Menaldu showed extremely bewildered reactions.

But that was merely the minimum.

Those guys probably didn’t want to operate that fleet for just “one day.”

—————————————–

<Icarus-Indefatigable-Menaldu Chat Room>

-[And you need to give an additional 30 million of each resource for mercenary maintenance costs](Icarus)

-[Is this for real?]

-[You’re saying we need to give 30 million resources before hiring mercenaries, and then another 30 million after hiring them?](Indefatigable)

-[Yep](Icarus)

-[Insane](Menaldu)

-[Oh, and even if you give 30 million for maintenance costs, it’ll last 3 days at most]

-[Just so you know, I can’t afford those maintenance costs. If you want to use them longer, you’ll have to pay. Can you do that?](Icarus)

-[Holy moly shit](Menaldu)

-[And on top of that, we’ll have to calculate my own hiring fee separately](Icarus)

-[Ah](Indefatigable)

—————————————–

Since these two had helped me when I was getting beaten up by the Walpurgis Alliance before.

I overcame my laziness and gave them the kindest and most detailed explanation possible.

—————————————–

<Icarus-Indefatigable-Menaldu Chat Room>

-[At that point, you’d be hiring at least 10,000 mercenary groups]

-[Based on my previous hiring calculations, resource consumption would be 10.6 million minerals and 1.26 million rare resources daily, which I absolutely cannot afford alone](Icarus)

-[Wait, 10.6 million minerals per day?]

-[And 1.26 million rare resources?](Indefatigable)

-[Yes, that’s right](Icarus)

—————————————–

At the same time, the Antares and Humanity executives who were receiving real-time updates on this matter through Indefatigable…

—————————————–

<Notice: Urgent Measures Needed Regarding Earth Federation>

-[LOLOLOLOLOLOL]

-[So basically we need to give 60 million resources upfront, and then another 30 million after 3 days?]

-[Even if we send it by mail, since ships will be delivering it, we actually need to give 90 million at once]

-[This is insane LOL]

-[With that amount, no joke, we could build about 1,000 average user fleets including cruisers and battleships]

-[No way, that’s more like 2,000+ fleets]

—————————————–

After hearing the insane resource requirements, they were stirring up extreme controversy.

However, the staff who were trying to control the chaotic situation somehow managed to squeeze their brains and calculate.

—————————————–

<Notice: Urgent Measures Needed Regarding Earth Federation>

-[Building that many user fleets would take at least 2 weeks minimum]

-[And in 2 weeks, we’d be crushed by the Earth Federation’s numbers first]

-[But if we transfer those resources to Icarus, investing just 30 million resources would be like immediately deploying an additional 1 million ships to the frontline]

-[Oh]

-[Ohh]

-[That’s definitely not bad]

-[From the beginning, other clan members and users aren’t lacking resources, they’re lacking shipyards, which is why we can’t supply enough forces]

-[Hmm interesting…]

—————————————–

When they thought about it, they concluded that ‘using Icarus would be better after all.’

As a result, the Humanity clan including Antares transferred 25 million minerals and 5 million rare resources each to Indefatigable and Menaldu, totaling 30 million.

They decided to hire Icarus as a sort of ‘external mercenary’ by having the two rankers sequentially transfer resources to him.

Of course, since Indefatigable and Menaldu couldn’t handle that many resources at once.

They had to send them in about 10 separate transfers.

After Humanity completed these extremely complicated procedures.

—————————————–

<Icarus-Indefatigable-Menaldu Chat Room>

<Indefatigable(Minerals 2,000,000, Rare Resources 200,000) ⇒ Icarus>

<(Y)/N>

-[Damn, hiring is such a pain in the ass](Indefatigable)

-[LOLOLOLOLOL]

-[Got everything, and since it’s almost midnight, I’ll deploy the fleet as soon as it passes](Icarus)

-[Let me know when you deploy]

-[So I can give you the resources](Menaldu)

-[OK OK](Icarus)

—————————————–

When I saw Indefatigable quickly giving me resources amounting to 30 million (29 million to be exact).

And Menaldu saying he’d give his share soon, I realized Humanity was behind them.

But since they weren’t openly admitting it, they must have their reasons.

Without saying anything about that, I decided to start hiring mercenaries with the resources I received.

And accordingly, after forcibly waking up the mercenary dispatch manager who was about to go to sleep.

“25.2 million minerals, 5.1 million rare resources.”

“Pardon?”

“Use this to call all mercenaries available for immediate hire, hurry.”

“Ah, yes sir.”

As soon as midnight passed, I hired a large number of mercenary groups to respond to Humanity’s request in their time of crisis(?).

However, after hiring numerous mercenary groups and gathering them with my fleets right in front of Tannhäuser.

—————————————-

<Dreadnought: 1 ship>

<Battleship: 5 ships>

<Battlecruiser: 3 ships>

<Battleship: 3 ships>

<Battlecruiser: 5 ships>

<Battleship: 3 ships>

<Destroyer: 50 ships>

—————————————-

<Battleship: 350 ships>

<Battlecruiser: 1,425 ships>

<Destroyer: 88,523 ships>

˪<Total 1,010,827 ships>

—————————————-

“That’s a ridiculous amount.”

“The ships look like garbage.”

“Hey, watch your language.”

Feeling astonished that the number had exceeded 1 million.

I immediately contacted Menaldu via chat to let him know it was time to send the resources.
