Chapter 166 - War(6)
Also under the assault of Medivh , the bombs , the archballistae\'s mounted on the pirate ship , the cannons fired , the arrows shot manually by Elite guild members , and the members that died under the swords and shields of the tanks , the final death toll came around 25,000 troops.
The massive army of 2,50,000 had been reduced to 50,000 . The collapse of the fort was a masterstroke that noone saw coming.
Around the world , people were stunned by the massive fort blowing up , killing a third of the alliance army with it.
The viewership number of the war became the highest viewed event in the history of Grey entertainment , as 457 million people were watching the stream live!
The streaming service seeing a lifetime high single day subscription count of 120 million new subscribers. Just throughout the duration of the war event. And boy o boy did it deliver far beyond all expectations , beyond what anyone predicted , the Elites were countering all odds to absolutely outmanoeuvr the alliance , wiping more than 2/3rd of their force.
Only about 50 thousand members left standing , and to everyone around the world , this was a feat worthy of being labelled as a stroke of brilliant genius?and Rudra as a masterstrstegist never seen before.?However the creator of the plan , Rudra , had an ugly expression on his face.
According to his calculations , only when the number of the alliance members was brought at under 10,000 was he completely confident of victory, him only expecting 25 thousand alive after the fort collapsed , but the 50 thousand standing was a bucket of cold water poured on him.
About 15 thousand of the 50 thousand left alive were injured. However many of them were quickly regaining HP under the healing of the priests and basic Hp regeneration potions.
Even the Elites had losses on their sides , close to 100 Elites were dead , these included the 9 tanks , 10 archers and about 80 lifestyle players.
While it never came to it.?But Rudra assigned the entire lifestyle division , after building the wall and mounting the archballistae\'s.?To go to the basement where the bombs were located and protect it with their lives.
While rest of the combat troops escaped to the south beach using the secret passage , the lifestyle guild stayed. They built a wall after the last player Medivh crossed the passage to the beach and stayed in the basement to guard it at all costs.
Should even a single player breach the area , they were given explicit orders by Rudra to blow the structure up.
While many labell the lifestyle professions weak and useless in combat . It was not the case in the True Elites , in this guild where everyone matters , even the lifestyle members contribute to the guilds strength, ready to die before letting the enemy pass.
Fatty kalash had indeed raised a batch of loyal and guild centric players just like himself.
Hence the odds now shifted from being overwhelmingly outnumbered to being massively outnumbered. While the world watched the nail biting war event , the alliance camp had a devastatingly low morale.
What was supposed to be an easy war became a nightmare for them. Time and time again they found out that the Elites were five steps ahead of them the whole time.
Scorpio started to quake in his boots , goosebumps all over his skin . He was scared, scared to loose th war. He lacked the spine of being a leader as he could not give a single command to his remnant army because of the sheer fear of walking into another trap set up by the elite\'s.
What if he sent the troops charging only for the beach infront to actually be a minefield ? What if suddenly aircrafts started to appear and nuke his army?
His mind ran crazy scenarios that were impossible to happen. However the Elites did the impossible time and time again. Nothing was certain dealing with them... Should he loose this war , he would loose everything.... The fear of loosing everything was soo great in scorpio\'s heart that he could not think of any good counterattack as a leader.
Not only him , the other three guild leaders were not faring much better. The members kept asking the command centre for the next command , but the command centre was deathly silent .
Unbeknownst to them , the situation was simmilarly grim even on the Elites side , as the guild members understood that the enemy numbers were far more than what phase 3 could execute . They turned to their almighty guild leader for the next command.
This is where Rudra showed his true class as a master strategist , as while not everything was going to plan , he still had his men , and he still had a chance to grasp victory. It was foolish to charge into the 50 thousand strong army without any real plan to duke it out man to man.
The pirate ship had aldready sailed downriver and into the ocean , and it was impossible to row it back upstream towards the battle arena.
Unless the alliance members charged towards the ship , the archballistae\'s and cannons were useless. A deadlock ensued as none of the parties made a move while regrouping.
It was at this moment at the impromptu phase 4 started a result of the reincarnation knowledge , Rudra said "....
