Chapter 599 War(2)
( Rudra's POV )
As soon as the sun rose over the horizon. Rudra himself took a huge war horn and blew it with all his might to signal the start of the fight!
A sea of humans started to charge towards the walls of Purplehaze city as the 5 killometers field of seperation between the wall and the forces was slowly shrinking.
Thanx to the Russians , a lot of the cannon fodders were killed on the journey towards Purplehaze city , hence the charging forces were composed of 70% tier 1 troops and only 30% tier 0 cannon fodders.
Rudra held steady as he let the the forces gain the first killometer without any resistance , however once they crossed the 4km mark they were welcomed by a densely packed minefield set up by the elites.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless explosions all across all the battlefields was observed as the charging forces were torn to shreds by the powerful mines.
Those who survived the first explosion were greeted by a second and those who survived the second explosion were greeted by a third.
Thousands of tonnes of explosives went off , as nearly a million troops lost their lives in under 2 minutes of the war starting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRudra's bombs were his ace in the hole , as his explosion artist subclass was a legendary profession that a handful of players practiced to great success in Omega.
With bombs being hard to get supplies for even a dungeon run for most first rate guilds. It was unthinkable for any guild in the nothern continent except the elites to be able to get their hands on so many.
This was exactly why Scar-face wanted to neutralize this capability of the elites , however Rudra was not going to have his ace taken from him , and the consequences of that were for the world to witness.
Regardless of how many were killed , like an endless sea , more and more troops just kept moving towards Purplehaze city walls as more and more deaths kept being accumulated on the enemy side.
The 4 km mark uptil the 1 km mark was the minefield that the elites had set-up all across the city and by the time the first group of stragglers somehow made it past the 1 km mark after minute 20, the enemy had lost a whopping 2.5 million troops to the elites bombs.
A charred battlefield littered with corpses and torn limbs of corpses was all that remained in the 1-4km range as the elites indeed started the war with a huge BANG!
However while inefficient , the minefield had to be crossed by the cannon fodders by risking their lives as for scar-face not a single one of them mattered in the bigger picture.
Hence while it was undoubtedly a loss for them to die like ants , it was a trade-off that scar-face had chosen to accept. i????????????????????????. ????????????
The majority of the force was tier 2 and above for the blood merchants and until those quality troops that could actually make a difference did not die uselessly in land mine explosions , everything else was acceptable.
While the explosions were powerful for tier 1 soldiers , enough to kill them in one blow , they were not so effective on tier 2 soldiers who would only be seriously injured , while tier 3 forces were not bothered by it at all.
Hence when scar-face was confident that the mine field was deactivated properly . It was then that he ordered the tier 2 troops to finally take charge .
" Here it comes ". Said Rudra as he saw the tier 2 troops advancing in formation .
Wanting to clear the weaker one's first he said " ARCHERS ! GUN THE TIER ONE STRAGGLERS DOWN ".
A flurry of arrows hit the fortunate ones that crossed the minefield alive , as the archers on the wall used the tier 1 weaklings as targets practice as they hunted them down .
Rudra expected them to be killed from every arrow that hit them , however that was not the case at all .
It took 3-4 arrows to take down a single tier 1 player as the armour they wore reduced arrow damage by a significant margin.
Rudra was informed of the enemy being in posession of special armour to counter the archballistae , however seeing the effectiveness of the device even he was stunned for a second as he realized that the fight was going to be much harder than he initially anticipated.
Nonetheless , even if the tier 1 weaklings were left alone without giving them any attention , they could not do anything much with their strength against the mighty Purplehaze wall , hence eventhough it took a longer time , the archers did manage to clean up all the stragglers who were clueless on what to do next once they reached their destination.
The scenario on the tier 2 advancing troops however was completely different , as they marched slowly with their shields out and while holding tight lines as there were Flagmen amongst their ranks holding the blood merchant flag high .
With over 27.5 million troops left and a vast majority of them being tier 2 and over , the true strength of the enemy that the elites were facing now came to full view.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile the initial few minutes were undoubtedly in the favour of the elites , the momentum of the battle was changing quickly as the tier 2 forces gained more and more ground.
With the massive war machines being brought to the front , Rudra knew that the actual show was about to begin.
