MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 598 War (1)

It was a nervous few hours for the elites , as last minute instructions regarding the terms of the war contract were relayed to the Elite troops.

While most were relieved that there would be a break from all the fighting every night , some also felt this part to be annoying. 

With only 2 hours till the war started , regardless of what one did to pass the time , everyone was on the edge as the imminent thoughts of war kept them wide awake. 

Although it was officially sieze fire , the enemy troops did not conceal their movement at all , as they circled around the nothern Battlefront to station parts of their forces at eastern , western and southern fronts too . 

It was a last minute move , as the plan was to throw Rudra off-guard with the sudden appearance of three new frontiers , however there was no troop movement on the walls on the north side , as Rudra had long seen through this move and had stationed troops accordingly from the start. 

Karna was guarding the all important rear , Jhonny was on the east and Neatwit was on the west . 

The problem however was not that the armies had circled out , the problem was that on each front there were 3 tier 4 generals standing just behind the cannon fodder line . 

While Rudra could deal with this on his side , the other three fronts were sure to have a hard time. 

But this was no-longer a problem that Rudra could handle for the others , as from here on out every specific battlefield was a sub war zone and every elder had to pull their own weight there. 

The next time Rudra would meet the others to strategize would be at ceasefire once the sun went down , however until then he had a battle of his own to face. 

For the common elite members the war was divided into two phases . 

Phase one : Hold the lines 

Phase two : push back . 

However only the elders knew the fine nuisances of the two phases and as of now and only they had information that Rudra wanted phase one to last until day 3 fighting was over.

( Dronacharya’s POV) 

Dronacharya felt extremely uneasy ! 

From Rudra’s calm in the face of such a large army , to his blank expression to see him on the enemy side , to now there being no troop movement on the Elite walls after seeing the opening of 3 new war frontiers , there was something off about this war. 

Dronacharya could feel it in his bones that there was a deeper secret behind Rudra’s change of aura , as there seemed to be more to his changed appearance and the black smokes that rose around him than was informed to the media. 

Although there were many items that did give the wearer special effects , there was none that came to dronacharya’s mind that could produce such a black smoke effect and his gut told him there was funny buisness going on there. 

But he could do nothing but swallow all his doubts at the moment as no good would come from expressing them at the last moment. 

Not participating in the fighting for the first half of the day , dronacharya was scheduled to keep scar-face company at the command centre . However unfortunately for him , day1 would not be the show he was hoping for .

As Karna looked towards the enemy legion from the Purplehaze city wall , he had a calm demeanor as he made mental notes to guide the army once the fight started. 

Currently the biggest problem for the Elites were the massive boulder throwing machines and the mid-range cannon that would shatter their wall into pieces. 

However Rudra had told them that he would handle the cannons and the boulder throwing machines , hence Karna did not need to worry about that issue at all and only focus on how to hold the lines best . 

For Karna , Rudra’s word was law and since Rudra said that he would handle it , he did not even need to ask how ? As he knew it would be taken care of! 

Such was the authority that Rudra commanded and the reason why the Elites had such a strong backbone , as their guild leader single-handedly created miracles on a routine. 

Similar to Karna, the other elders were also having similar thoughts as unlike the wars where Rudra micromanaged everything , this time they shared a huge burden too as they realized what Rudra went through day in day out while carrying the guild on his shoulders. 

Leadership was exponentially more difficult than following orders to perfection and the consequences of failure were much dire. 

This was a lose – lose war for the elites , since they would gain nothing from coming out the war as the winner, while lose everything should they become a loser. 

There was no territorial dispute , there was no monetary gain , there was no war indemnity. Even victorious the elites would have a destroyed infrastructure and trillions of dollars in deficit in their finance , which was the major reason for their stock to tumble. 

Fighting such a pointless war , the elders knew that there was no margin for error! 

****

( 5 minutes to war ) 

Everyone was geared up and lazer focused on the upcoming fight as everyone was ready at their alloted stations , waiting for orders to engage in combat! 

The plan for the elites was to open the war with a BANG! , As Rudra wanted to send a loud and clear message at the very start which was ‘ You can’t bully us’. 

Everyone watched the sun rise over the horizon as they waited for it to completely come into view before the war officially started. 

5 minutes later , the sun came in a full view as the war horns were sounded from both sides signalling start of day 1 of battle.
