I Became a Commander in a Crappy SF Game.

Ch.498″Humanity is depressed today, too.”

by fnovelpia

Meanwhile, the final 4th anniversary event was marked by Icarus’s grand whaling(?) and the resulting wails of users.

At that moment, clan leader Antares was trembling with frustration as he watched other rankers hitting pity(?) or whaling while he suffered from bad luck.

Despite the faction event having ended quite some time ago…

Since it occurred ‘separately’ from that event, our Humanity clan was still fighting almost daily with Earth Federation rebels popping up everywhere…

<Notice: Handle rebels quickly, report immediately if a stronghold is captured>

-[The rebel respawn rate has really decreased, hasn’t it?]

-[For real]

-[For real lol]

-[So happy]

-[Seems like other events got pushed back because of the 4th anniversary event haha]

-[Sweet!]

—————————————–

They were making the reasonable assumption that the “unfair” event targeting only them had subsided because the annoying 4th anniversary event had ended.

Of course, to be precise, along with the 4th anniversary event, the Earth Federation rebels had been overwhelmed by Humanity’s massive and systematic counterattack.

But such thoughts were short-lived.

<Notice: Handle rebels quickly, report immediately if a stronghold is captured>

-[Oh shit](Jegalyang)

-[I found out where these rebel bastards went](Jegalyang)

-[???]

-[What’s happening? Don’t tell me they’re attempting a final teamfight with some hidden Jormungand or Yggdrasil?]

-[Damn, do we need to defend strongholds again?]

-[So where are they?]

-[…we’re screwed](Jegalyang)

<Notice: Humanity Clan Emergency Announcement, Rebel NPC fleets currently launching full-scale offensive against ‘Alpha Centauri’>

-[What the fuck?!]

-[How the hell did they manage that, you crazy bastards]

-[Those insane idiots sacrificed expensive warp gate ships as one-time use to send their fleet in]

-[Crazy]

—————————————–

Incredibly, they received news that a special force of Superhumans from the rebels was striking at the Level 9 stronghold ‘Alpha Centauri’…

…which served as the gateway to the Level 10 stronghold ‘Earth’ that Humanity had newly designated as their headquarters.

The Humanity clan was flabbergasted that NPCs would launch such an outlandish attack.

Of course, unlike before, Humanity now had superior numbers and much more experience.

<Notice: Humanity Clan Emergency Announcement, Rebel NPC fleets currently launching full-scale offensive against ‘Alpha Centauri’>

-[There’s a portal at Alpha Centauri, use that to get there, it’s the fastest]

-[OK]

-[Users stationed on Earth should just emergency warp distant fleets back, it won’t cause fleet debuffs]

-[Alpha Centauri fortress cannons are firing, trying to buy time with the defense fleet]

-[Good]

—————————————–

They were quickly coming up with countermeasures and actively responding to the rebel offensive that included Jormungand-class ships.

And Humanity’s thorough response achieved excellent results as expected.

Just 5 hours after receiving such news.

—————————————–

<Notice: Alpha Centauri battle cleanly won ^^>

-[We won]

-[Victory!]

-[GG]

-[Damn, I was really shocked when they did that suicide charge with the Jormungand]

-[For real lol]

—————————————–

They thoroughly crushed the rebels’ desperate offensive, proving themselves as the true successors to the Earth Federation.

But while most of Humanity’s main forces were deployed to Alpha Centauri to stop the rebels’ final offensive that included Jormungand-class ships…

The rebels’ true dagger was aimed at ‘Earth’ and ‘Moon’ which had been emptied of forces…

Shortly after.

<Notice: Alpha Centauri battle cleanly won ^^>

-[Shit we’re fucked]

-[?]

-[<Image of the former Earth Federation, now Humanity headquarters ‘Earth’s’ ‘Moon Shipyard’ landscape, showing massive shipyards in ruins.jpg>](Jegalyang)

-[These bastards blew up the Jormungand-class and Yggdrasil-class dedicated shipyards at the Moon Shipyard and escaped to the central sector](Jegalyang)

-[Oh fuck damn it]

-[What the fuck?]

-[What were the remaining users stationed at Earth and the Moon Base doing?]

-[They were dealing with rebels, you said to bring all forces if more were needed]

-[Ah]

-[How is this even possible? They didn’t even have transport for their fleet?]

-[The rebels sent 10,000 NPC Superhumans crashing into the Moon Base](Jegalyang)

-[The users who remained docked at Earth and Moon Base barely managed to gather the remaining Superhumans to counterattack and prevent the stronghold from falling](Jegalyang)

—————————————–

While most fleets and Superhuman forces were deployed to Alpha Centauri…

The rebels mobilized all their Superhuman forces, using their fleet as bait while heading to the Moon Base via small shuttles.

They destroyed the only shipyard dedicated to Jormungand-class and Yggdrasil-class ships in the entire region of both current Humanity territory and former Earth Federation territory.

Antares, the Humanity clan leader who was already irritated by the gacha, felt his blood pressure skyrocket upon hearing such news.

At least they succeeded in eliminating all the rebel Superhumans who had been deployed, preventing any potential future unfair events.

Somehow, this allowed Antares’s mental state, which was about to burst from high blood pressure, to be preserved.

Of course, through Humanity’s own capabilities, they avoided the worst-case scenario… namely, the ‘Moon Base’ with its intact fortress cannons and defense fleet falling into rebel hands.

And thus avoiding the situation where Humanity’s headquarters ‘Earth’ would be indiscriminately bombarded by the Moon Base.

But regardless of the reason, the incident remained quite humiliating for Humanity.

Title: Breaking News) Humanity’s Level 9 stronghold ‘Moon Base’ was almost captured by Federation forces

Author: News Boy

Content: [Image of traces of battle between Superhumans at Moon Base.jpg]

According to what’s currently known, rebel fleets launched a final major offensive at Alpha Centauri including Jormungand-class ships

In the process of Humanity trying to stop them, surveillance at Moon Base weakened

Taking advantage of this gap, rebel NPC Superhumans infiltrated via shuttles and carried out internal sabotage

Detailed information will be provided when Humanity makes an official announcement

Comments:

-[How do you even let them push all the way to your headquarters lol]

-[Humanity’s exhausted after consuming the Earth Federation and dealing with all sorts of issues lol]

-[Maybe Antares should step down and let another user take over?]

-[Why are NPCs so smart?]

-˪[They’re called NPCs, but they’re essentially the same as us]

-˪[It’s already been revealed that these guys aren’t simply robots moving according to programmed algorithms like when we were playing the game]

-˪[Sigh]

—————————————–

As this information spread in all directions through the media(?), Antares and the executives worked until their feet sweated to handle the aftermath and resolve issues with shaken leadership and other problems.

But Humanity’s suffering was actually very intentional…
