I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.409The Million-Strong Army (3)

by fnovelpia

And the result of that utterly desperate battle.

“Commander, I’ve just been informed that the Humanity Alliance fleets have broken through the front line.”

“Hmm.”

“And they failed to eliminate the Jormungand-class and Dreadnoughts… as they escaped through emergency warp.”

“Hmm.”

As expected, as I mentioned before, those massive mercenary forces consumed resources in the tens of millions each day.

Between the time spent moving and after entering full-scale combat…

Despite the chaotic battle, because the scale was sooooo massive and took forever…

The 30 million resources I received as an advance payment at the beginning were completely depleted in just 3 days.

Of course, as mentioned above, Humanity provided an additional 30 million afterward, but that was also depleted in 3 days. On the last day, we nearly faced a catastrophe due to resource shortages.

Fortunately, external mercenaries and subordinate clans who assessed the situation hurriedly threw about 12 million resources my way, allowing me to somehow finish the battle properly.

But after fighting so hard…

The army of one million—no, the fleet of one million that I mobilized for the first time in my life…

After about 7 days of desperate resistance, despite receiving emergency additional resource support from Humanity…

The miracle result showed 1,010 ships remaining from the original 1.01 million.

‘Oh my god.’

Of course, thanks to those mercenaries’ sacrifices(?), we avoided the total annihilation of the main force and my direct mercenary units.

Anyway, I felt the growing sense that what’s good is good.

Of course, such facts were physically impossible to hide.

-[I’ll cry if you don’t pay](Icarus)

-[LOLOLOL](Menaldo)

-[Of course we have to pay]

-[Honestly, you know who our sponsor is right now, right? They’ll pay soon, so don’t worry](Indefatigable)

-[OK](Icarus)

<Accept?>

<Y/N>

-[Yeah]

-[Take it](Menaldo)

-[That was quick](Icarus)

-[I’ll send the rest as it comes in]

-[Thanks](Menaldo)

-[Yeah](Icarus)

After receiving resources as compensation for this job in that manner.

I led the remaining fleet straight to a nearby Humanity stronghold, then moved to Romania through the teleport network there.

Then from there, I returned to the beloved Tannhäuser, terminated the contract with the mercenaries, and…

“It’s in quite terrible shape. Hasn’t that exceeded the Kraken’s self-healing capabilities?”

“Urgh.”

Under the judgment of monster expert (actually a monster herself) Princess Luca, when it was concluded that the Kraken’s condition was serious.

I immediately sent it through the portal to monster territory for long-term hospitalization, and also put other ships into the shipyard for repairs.

Feeling like I’d done everything I could, I finally opened the gallery to do some moderation.

But as I was cutting down the usual pile of reported posts…

Title: Breaking News) Humanity Alliance’s external forces break through Earth Federation defense line

Author: News Boy

Around 9:30 this morning, the Humanity Alliance successfully defeated the Earth Federation’s Jormungand-class and direct Dreadnoughts that were maintaining the defense line

With the main ships gone, the Federation’s border defense fleet was ultimately defeated by the Alliance users’ full-scale offensive, and lost the level 8 border stronghold “Augustus”

During this breakthrough, it was confirmed that Icarus, ranked 3rd, mobilized a large mercenary force after receiving massive resources from Humanity, external mercenaries, and subordinate clans

Thanks to burning through all of that over a week, the Humanity Alliance was able to continue their additional offensive

Comments:

-[Upvote for journalism]

-[Finally something’s happening]

-[How much did they invest that just one additional user made such a difference?]

-˪[They say 1.01 million ships were mobilized]

-˪[That’s a ton of mobilization, I’ll admit]

-˪[LOLOLOLOLOL]

-˪[Nice to see cool acknowledgment]

-[So did Icarus participate as part of the Humanity team?]

-˪[No, doesn’t seem like it]

-˪[From what we’ve found out, he returned to his base immediately after breaking through the front line](Author)

-˪[I see]

—————————————–

Seeing news of my rampage against the Earth Federation already posted as a top article in the gallery.

“…News sure travels fast.”

Seeing how they collect information much faster than even decent information clans.

I couldn’t tell if they were journalists or information clan leaders.

==========

And while our Icarus ground 1.01 million ships down to 1,010 and entered a brief rest period.

Even without Icarus, who had stormed in like a hurricane, a breached defense line doesn’t regenerate like adult na*ck.

<Notice: Let’s Devour the Earth Federation>

-[Let’s gooooooooooooo]

-[Let’s gooooo]

-[Mmm♡]

—————————————–

External mercenaries and subordinate clans who had been complaining about Humanity’s pathetic performance until now didn’t miss this opportunity and continued their powerful offensive.

Of course, they weren’t just mindlessly charging in.

—————————————–

<Notice: Current top priority is connecting each occupied stronghold and user region with external fleets>

-[Chaos Clan fleet will soon make contact with Vagabond Fortress]

-[Contact the users docked at Vagabond and tell them to execute double encirclement on the Federation fleet that’s surrounding them]

-[The clan near Proxima Gamma is asking if they can switch to offensive on their own?]

-[Stronghold users should focus on defense to prevent confusion, then respond when alliance users on the offensive approach]

—————————————–

Users within Earth Federation territory also understood the situation and instead of launching their own reckless offensives.

They waited until external alliance forces approached, then responded to stabilize the front line.

As the previously chaotic battle situation calmed down, the mental overload on Humanity and other subordinate clans decreased.

And as a result of preventing mental overload.

Humanity’s staff, with their brains maintaining elastic resilience, could now focus on one area rather than spreading their efforts in all directions.

And with collective intelligence, where more brains exponentially increase intelligence…

—————————————–

<Notice: Current top priority is connecting each occupied stronghold and user region with external fleets>

-[Southern key point Turk Supply Base secured]

-[Maximus Fortress also secured]

-[Gargantia Interstellar Defense Bureau conquest complete]

-[Yes! With this, Earth Federation territory is definitely split in half]

-[Go go go go go]

-[Now’s the time]

—————————————–

Unlike the Earth Federation fleet suffering from overload while fighting chaotic battles everywhere.

By calmly defeating them one by one, they achieved the result of literally splitting Earth Federation territory in half.
