MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel

Chapter 600 War (3)

The massive war machines started to be mobilized , as hundereds of players pushed the base they were built on while hundereds more pulled them using ropes as they were brought forward .

The effective range of the mid-range cannons were 2 km , whereas the effective range of the boulder throwing machine was 4km.

If the war machines were allowed to be positioned on the correct distance , it would become a tactical nightmare for the elites , hence they had to be stopped before they could take the proper position , However a well equipped army of tier 2 soldiers were marching ahead of it in formation , protecting the machines from destruction.

" Prepare the archballistae ! ". Rudra ordered as small windows covered in steel within the wall were opened revealing the archballistae mounted inside.

Shua!Shua!Shua! Shua!Shua!

A rain of arrows sped towards the advancing tier 2 forces as for a second the sky turned black by the sheer amount of arrows released.

" TUCK TAIL! ".

The commanding general ordered the troops to hide beneath their shields , as the advancing troops quickly sought cover from the rain of arrows , their shields defending them appropriately.

The majority of the force remained unfazed by the rain of arrows as the shields they had worked splendidly well in blocking the incoming attacks.

With every single soldier carrying a shield in one arm , the casualties on the side of the blood merchants was 0 under the arrow rain , as the elites learnt it the hard way that not only were the Armour worn by the enemies excellent against arrow attacks , but so were their shields.

Little by little , the tier 2 army marched on unfazed as they inched closer to the walls of Purplehaze city , behind them was a steady movement of wall breaking tools .

The high range boulder throwing machines were the first to get into position with the cannons still being 700 meters from the 2km line , as scar-face gave the order to fire the first round.

Massive boulders the size of a house were hurled towards the walls of Purplehaze city , as Rudra watched them approach with bated breaths.

There were a total of 32 boulders approaching the city walls , 8 from each direction.

While the Elite members panicked and gulped nervously , the moment the boulders crossed the 1 km mark the mage tower within Purplehaze city suddenly glowed with power as 32 high intensity beams were accurately shot out from its crystal top attacking the 32 incoming boulders.

BAM! SMASH! CRASH!

The high intensity attack crushed the large boulders into many small pieces , but it was not completely effective in stopping it , as the some of the smaller pieces did smash onto the Purplehaze city wall , some went over it while some crashed on the battlefield.

While the smaller pieces could not do major damage , it was the pieces that went over the city wall that crashed into local buildings behind causing civillian property damage.

This one attack costed Rudra about 60 billion dollars worth of high grade mana stones , and he could not keep up with it for rounds and rounds of boulder attacks.

Although the mage tower could theoretically protect the city from 2-3 rounds , after that its limits would be on display.

The only reason why Rudra wanted to check the constitution of the boulders the enemy were throwing was because he wanted to know what kind of rock could that machine hurl.

If it was a low density rock that weighed less , then a bunch of wizards could use tier 2 and 3 spells to counter the incoming boulders , but since it was solid granite type rock , with even the mage towers attacks only breaking it to smaller pieces , Rudra knew that the wizards stood no chance.

With the tier 2 forces still advancing smoothly without suffering major losses , the elites were in a lot of trouble.

Looking towards the heavens , Rudra let out a deep sigh , as he understood that he had no choice but to use ' That ' to get his guild out of this tough spot.

*****

( Dronacharya's POV)

Dronacharya was extremely happy with how things were progressing. Although the loss of troops within the first few minutes of the mine explosions was tragic , the momentum seemed to be shifting towards them since that event with the archballistae of the elites being rendered useless .

The archballistae was one of the symbols of the elites , a weapon of war that helped them assert their local dominance. However with the world watching , dronacharya exposed the weakness of that weapon .

When the elites had fought the triads, dronacharya had adviced them to use these shields and armour as well , however they chose to ignore his advice to suffer horribly from those arrow spewing machines. But that would not be the case today with him leading the group.

Taking a selfie , he posted it on the forums as it read " The face of the mastermind behind the fall of the elites! ".

Beneath the photo he wrote how flawed the elites archballistae were and how easy it was to counter them with the right equipment.

He slammed the ex opponents of the elites calling them all ' dumb idiots ' , as he called himself the ' prophet of the truth '.

Feeling excited and happy , dronacharya lost control over his calm demeanor as he did a stupid mistake by revealing his face and intentions to the world.

Naturally his photo gained a lot of traction on the forums , as the war the elites were facing was the hottest topic there today , however while things looked like they were going in his favour at the moment , things could change any second.

Little did he know that this one photo would make him the biggest meme in the world!
