I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.435The Yellow Turban Rebels, Assemble!! (2)

by fnovelpia

When news spread that the Yellow Turban Rebel friends had declared war against the entire base, users who initially trembled with fear soon realized that all users in the “Triangular Zone” would be participating in the battle.

—————————————–

<Notice: Yellow Turban Rebels are approaching>

-[Those damn locust bastards]

-[Now is the time to show our united strength]

-[Let’s go!]

-[If we were alone, we might not stand a chance, but with thousands of us rushing together, we’ll win easily]

-[Absolutely agree]

-[Hahahahaha, look at these mercenary scum trying to attack the mecca of mercenaries]

—————————————–

‘Whoa, is the combat power increasing?!’

Unlike users who were usually beaten up everywhere and had come here seeking their final sanctuary, they were now showing an impressive increase in combat power and burning with the will to resist.

Moreover, additional news came in that further fueled their blazing will to fight.

Title: Hey, did you see how many Yellow Turban Rebels there actually are?

They just passed 10,000 members a moment ago

There were people exaggerating that they already exceeded 10,000, reaching 20,000, or even claiming they had the majority of Central Zone users

On the other hand, some were saying they didn’t even have 5,000 members

Now it’s been clearly revealed

Source is my acquaintance who’s pretending to be part of the Yellow Turban Rebels to spy on them

Comments:

-[Wow, that’s a lot]

-[No joke, that’s a legitimate large-scale clan]

-[Central Zone users couldn’t unite before, but look at them uniting now]

-˪[Considering Central Zone has just under 100,000 users, that’s quite impressive]

This was the post that had just been uploaded to the gallery and quickly became a featured post.

Of course, comparing the number of Yellow Turban Rebel users to our users, at first glance, our side seemed quite disadvantaged…

Unfortunately for the Yellow Turban Rebel friends, our side had defense fleets from each base and the Leviathan Squadron firmly in position.

Title: Isn’t the Yellow Turban Rebels’ declaration of war too risky?

Content: [Comparison chart of Yellow Turban Rebels’ forces vs. Icarus & Triangular Zone users’ total forces.jpg]

Looking at this, the user force numbers are roughly 10,000 vs. 4,300~4,500

The question is how they plan to deal with the defense fleets that Icarus controls at each base

Not to mention Icarus’s trademark unlimited mercenary corps or the newly added Leviathan Squadron

From what I hear from Humanity’s side, the Leviathan Squadron is in complete disarray, so they’ll likely be excluded from combat power for now

But even without them, our user force is about 5,000

Actually, let’s be generous and say 6,000 to ensure victory, can the remaining 3-4,000 break through the unlimited mercenary corps and each base’s defense fleet?

I honestly doubt it

They’ll probably get crushed trying to break through the bases and end up splitting their forces

All of Icarus’s bases are level 5, so they’d need to commit at least 1,000 users to each and be prepared to lose 30-40% of their forces

Isn’t that extremely dangerous?

If they mess up, the Yellow Turban faction could collapse, and they might get severely backstabbed by other angry Central Zone users

Comments:

-[Analysis deserves an upvote]

-[Upvote for the analysis]

-[Moreover, Yellow Turban Rebels can’t mobilize all 10,000 users]

-˪[Most Yellow Turban bases are level 3 or below, so Central Zone users could take them if they really tried]

-˪[So after excluding users needed to guard those rear areas, they have 8,000 users at most]

-˪[Oh, that’s cutting it close]

—————————————–

As proven by the analysis post written by a passing veteran player and the comments on it, the Yellow Turban Rebel bandits would find it very difficult to guarantee victory against us.

That’s why I couldn’t understand what confidence they had to declare war.

“What confidence do they have to declare war against all users on our side?”

“I know, right? Even the reports from the base’s supercomputer and the Strategy and Tactics Research Institute indicate that we have the advantage.”

Jessica shared my thoughts, and we spent a very long time pondering what made them so confident in their chances of victory.

==========

Meanwhile, at the same time.

At the level 3 base “Insidious.”

While other users derisively called them Yellow Turban Rebels or bandits, they stubbornly referred to themselves as Libertarians, and at their headquarters…

<Notice: War with Icarus’s faction, must execute the plan perfectly to win>

-[Phew]

-[How’s the situation going? Are the preparations for base capture ready?]

-[500 users each to commit to each base, all prepared]

-[They’ll charge in mindlessly as soon as we give the signal]

-[Did you confirm the base locations? If we go to the wrong place, everything gets messed up]

-[OK OK]

-[<Collection of base coordinates>]

-[Ah good]

—————————————–

As Icarus suspected, they were planning what they considered their trump card and their only strategy with a chance of victory.

And what was this method?

—————————————–

<Notice: War with Icarus’s faction, must execute the plan perfectly to win>

-[Now we just need to draw aggro from Icarus’s main force and appropriate fleets to lure them to Spiralis]

-[Good]

-[If we can get his main force to come to Spiralis with its weak defenses, we can win]

—————————————–

Their plan was to deliberately draw aggro to make only the protagonist’s main force come to the level 5 Spiralis base.

Then simultaneously occupy nearby bases to overlap routes and isolate them.

By surrounding the base and fleet this way and preventing the Leviathan Squadron from moving, then attacking to destroy everything…

It would be the end for Icarus and everyone else. With Icarus mentally broken and doing nothing, they could quickly chip away at and occupy the remaining bases.

By overlapping routes and crushing him this way, the Leviathan Squadron would become not just a friendly neutral to Icarus, but “completely neutral” that they wouldn’t need to deal with either.

Of course, even with such a meticulous plan, there were still concerns.

—————————————–

<Notice: War with Icarus’s faction, must execute the plan perfectly to win>

-[But what if Icarus holds out and calls those damn mercenary corps?]

-[For real]

-[After taking out users to capture 3 bases, we can only mobilize about a thousand users to Spiralis at most]

-[If he brings 1 million ships like last time, or even 500,000, we won’t be able to hold out]

—————————————–

The Yellow Turban Rebel users showed more fear of the “unlimited mercenary corps” they had frequently witnessed and felt the overwhelming power of, rather than the Leviathan Squadron.

However, the executive users of the Yellow Turban Rebels reassured them that this wouldn’t be a problem.

—————————————–

<Notice: War with Icarus’s faction, must execute the plan perfectly to win>

-[Nothing to worry about]

-[Remember how Icarus panicked when the Leviathan Squadron was coming and accidentally hired 450 or 500 mercenary corps, wasting a ton of resources? Lol]

-[Oh that]

-[He must have blown hundreds of thousands of resources then, so he can’t bring more than 500,000 mercenaries now lol]

-[Ohhhhh]

-[So we can confidently go all in]

-[Yeah]

-[Plus, Spiralis was conquered recently, so it doesn’t have many defense facilities or fleets]

-[Hey, we definitely have a chance of winning]

—————————————–

The Yellow Turban Rebel users weren’t stupid, and as results emerged that confirmed their chances of victory, they set aside their fears and decided to proceed with the full-scale invasion, burning with fighting spirit.
