Novel Full Chapter 315 - A Ploy
Edge had decided to bait Karna , by infuriating him and leading him right into a trap where an ambush party would be waiting for him in advance.
Much like what happened in the conquest for Purplehaze city . Edge planned on taking down Karna using sheer numbers. However , what Edge did not know was that he was a little guy when it came to scheming , nowhere near the sophistry of what Rudra had achieved in the field.
Karna had a talk in great length with Rudra , about how if he would be a team captain playing against team japan , what would his gameplan be to win , and naturally Rudra thought long and hard about this question and finally arrived at the conclusion that the best way to win was to dwindle the teams numbers.
Capture the flag was a volatile event , the moment a teams overall member count fell below 7 , it greatly limited what one could achieve. Hence Rudra had explicitly told Karna about how he would single out opponents and plan ambushes. In addition he also warned Karna that he himself would be the first target of this scheme , as he was the most critical member holding the team together.
Karna naturally took Rudra's advice to heart. He had faith in his guild leader's words . Hence he came up with a counter strategy to come out of any ambushes , and turn the tide on his enemies.
Hence when team UK accidentally intercepted team Japan , near the central white flag , and after a short scuffle the other members retreated towards their base but Edge pretended to be singeled out and ran in a different direction , taunting Karna about how he was never going to win this event and about the time where he slaughtered him to his death. Karna naturally knew the ploy at work.
Even so , Karna pretended to bite the bait and started to get agitated. Responding with insults of his own , he decided to chase after Edge , breaking away from the rest of the group to whom he instructed to return to the base with the white flag.
The other members were hesitant to leave the leader alone , yet , orders were orders. They obeyed.
Rudra who was watching this event unflur live , had a frown on his face as he thought ' Comeon Karna this is obviously a trap , how can you fall for such petty insults man , I expect more from you '.
Rudra was worried , worried that another defeat at the hands of edge would ruin Karna's self confidence. Hence he watched anxiously as Karna chased Edge through the forest .
What Rudra did not know was that Karna , had already made a plan to outsmart Edge's plan. He had already requested backup , from the greatest mercenary of all time , as he was preparing to put the ambushers 6 feet under.
Arriving at the scene of the ambush , Edge abruptly stopped , as he started to laugh . He said" Comeon man Karna , even I did not think you would be this dumb to chase me alone. Almost makes me suspect that you have a bigger scheme than the one I have. However our ranger scout says that 7 of your team members are back at your base. What is your endgame here? ".
Karna smiled , as he took out his second sword , he said " ofcourse I know about your little ambush here , honestly that barbarian doesn't even know how to hide , both his shoulders are visibly outside the tree he is hiding behind , while your assassin lays behind a bush .... Sigh , I expected more from your group Edge , these bunch of amateurs , I ll take them on myself. "
Saying soo karna took out a third sword and put it between his teeth taking the Zorro's swordsmanship path.
Closing his eyes , he decided to put all his training to use. The last time he fought against Edge he was severly injured and ambushed by hundereds . Agreed that the ten players present here in the Olympics could never be compared to those average Joe's , however how could Karna call himself a true Elite if he could not take on nine such punks.
Edge laughed .... He said " honestly I was kind of deseperate , trying to bait you in , you have one hell of a team under your command , to put up a 25 point lead above us , however I'm sorry to say that you are not my opponent . You are a brawler , but a brainless idiot. This is not a taunt , this is my honest opinion of you , you are no leader Karna of the Elites , you will die here and I will win this event. "
Karna said nothing , Zorro's sword In mouth , he charged at Edge , while the ambush party sprung into action.
Karna's skill was put to the test as 9 of England's best attacked him all at once. Edge himself was an excellent swordsman who would punish Karna at the slightest mistake he made . However to the surprise of billions watching worldwide. The brawl of one vs nine was a shocking stalemate.
Karna moved like a madman , finding flaws in enemy attacks and maneuvering his way through every attack delivering counters like a true fighting machine . The sight of him taking on two Barbarians with one sword , two swordsmen with another , while cutting a mage's neck with a third , would forever remain imprinted in the minds of everyone watching worldwide.
However the question for Karna was ..... For how long could he keep this intensity up for? The way he was maneuvering , his stamina would not last him for more than 2 minutes .... What would he do after that?
