MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel

Chapter 161 - War (2)

( The real world )

Ethan Grey was sitting in his private lounge. One of the finest whiskeys in the world in his hand , as he watched Rudra's livestream.

Today was a crutial day for Ethan as today was not only the Elites facing the Alliance , where he had a whopping 100 billion dollars on the line , but also the day where his hired team of world class mercenaries blew up Ambani's petroleum mine .

It was safe to say that Ethan Grey was a confident man , he would never drink to relieve stress , yet today his nerves were at the edge , it was a make or break day for him , as he would either come out the other side today as a tycoon who would expand his net worth by trillions , or someone who would have to lay low for a while, loosing large sums of money.

When Rudra kicked the snake Orochimaru after name dropping his connection with the Ambani's , Ethan felt a sense of satisfaction and releief , as he muttered under his breath " **cking snakes !! ".

( War arena , The alliance POV)

Beachboy of surfers united was livestreaming hence the world was watching the alliance leaders having an impromptu meeting regarding the change in the chosen terrain

Scorpio said " The spy's information turned out to be useless , there is no f****** forest ! , Damn that idiot spy , our whole strategy is ruined , We have no way to tackle a fort siege , we have no ladders or wall climbers ".

PinkLotus said " Although what you are saying is true , not everything is as bad as it seems ,?i have seen previous battles in fort knox , it has two gates at East and North , the north gate is the biggest gate made of wood , our assaulters should be able to hack through the gate after a bit of struggle. We will loose some numbers , however thats not an issue is it? Once the gate crumbles , soo will the Elites ".

TrueRhythm agreed to PinkLotus as he said " I agree , this is not necessarily a better choice than the forest , the fort is a smaller area to defend and run , we can rest assured about the guirella warfare tactics , once the defenses of the fort are breached the war will end ".

The alliance leaders had a logical discussion about what to do next , but time was running out , as the 10 minute preperation time was about to run out , they were yet to relay important information to the 2,50,000 strong army of theirs.

And as for now there was but one command , that was breach the gates and attack the fort.

The war timer hit the final 30s , and everyone became laser focused .... Victory or defeat , everything would be decided now.

Unbeknownst to them , an deadly assasin party of 20 lead by SMG had sneaked through the hidden gate and started to make his way upriver , unnoticed by the alliance army.

5....4....3....2...1... War starts!

( The true elites pov )

The war had started and everyone had taken battle positions , the task of handling the archballistae was left to the archers , whereas every lifestyle member and non wizards were given a bow and quiver of arrows.

A few people like Rudra and Karna chose the javellin , to strategically target enemies.

Just as the countdown hit zero , a sea of people started to charge from the nothern gate towards the fort.

Rudra smiled at them as he said " Come! ". He gave Karna the nod and Karna gave the War command.

" UNVEIL THE BALLISTAE , ARCHERS LOAD YOUR ARROWS?".?Karna shouted

The cloths covering the ballistae were removed. The weapons were already armed and loaded.

" HOLD ".?Karna said , waiting for the perfect time to unleash the arrows , making sure that maximum enemies were inside the range of arrows to maximize damage.

" FIRE! ".?Karna shouted , and for a second the sun got blocked out a sea of arrows fell on the charging alliance members , as thousands were hit with the incoming arrows.

But to the sheer horror of the alliance members , unlike the traditional arrows that hit in waves after waves , these arrows were continuous.

Like a goddamn machine gun , the ballistae kept blasting arrows after arrows , with an insane rate of 200 arrows per minute.?Atleast 150 alliance members died under its relentless assault every minute , while 20 more were injured.

And there were 8 such beasts mounted on the walls of Fort Knox . 1200 alliance members fell each minute to the ballistae and about 300 more fell under the arrows and spells of the members.

There was panic , disbelief and sheer horror inside the alliance members eyes.?They could not even defend properly under the relentless arrow assault .

Chaos rained inside the charging party as to defend the arrows the alliance members moved around and bumped into each other , falling tripping and breaking the attack lines.

Scorpio looked at the ballistae and just went batshit crazy " WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING ..... WHY DO THE ELITES HAVE SUCH A GAMEBREAKING THING? ".

His mind went blank , and the same happened for the other five alliance leaders , they were speachless seeing the beast of a ballistae in actions , thousands being slayed every minute under its unending assault.

Meanwhile the world watching the unfolding of the ballistae went totally nuts ... The elites had their own mediaeval machine gun , how cool!

The common adventurers seeing the war for fun were very very happy seeing the entertaining ballistae in action , whereas the various superpowers saw it as a must have tool in their arsenal .

Win or loose , many interested parties were going to contact the elites post war , for this technology.

The first phase of the war had started , and 10 minutes into the war , the first alliance member finally reached the nothern gate , after going through hell in the face of incoming fire ,?and started hacking at the wooden door with his axe.

However within these ten minutes close to 16,000 alliance members had died , and there was no signs of slowing down.
