Chapter 211 - Picking Themselves Back Up
Chapter 211 - Picking Themselves Back Up
Rudra kept fighting half heartedly ever since Karna died , He took charge of the entire inner district forces and fought valiantly in his massacre of the beasts.
Even then the gap between them and the Eternal rebels was slowly but surely increasing. Rudra had never faced such a situation before. According to the scout's report , approaching Edge was impossible unless Rudra pulled out his entire army from all districts to barge into his stronghold.
Even SMG could not go past unnoticed by the thousands of soldiers that guarded the eight path crossway that lead to the circle where Edge was camping.
For a moment it seemed like everything was going south , as Rudra had no answer to Edges problem. Or so it seemed to the world..... as more than 14 hours passed and the first day of the event was over.. Only 24 more hours till the event ended.
Rudra admitted his mistake , he was careless , the token should have never slipped past his hands , he admitted that it was his mistake to be too stunned to take action and chase the fleeing Edge , when he had the opportunity to do so . With his stats , catching him before he went too far was not impossible. He admitted that it was his mistake that Karna got killed.
He admitted them all , and resolved to improve in the future. This was not the reality that he once lived in and not everything would always go as it was planned , he needed to learn to think on his feet and behave like a true guild leader and not just a damn reincarnator with future knowledge all the time.
He needed to learn to face the present and decide strategies based on present , only then can he truly become a leader worthy of leading the True Elites.
Bouncing back , Rudra started to think on his feet. How could he turn this situation around ? The current gap between themselves and the Eternal rebels was created as they had the token , the token served as a attraction for all sorts of beasts and although the formation set up by edge is a stroke of genius , it would eventually be the cause of their downfall.
Rudra planned to take the token because he planned to stay very close to the royal palace , and hence when ' that' creature would come around 12 hours before the war ended , he would have forced Aman to fight it for him.
However Edge was in sector five , his army would be decimated if the creature went after him instead of being fought by Emperor Aman.
Rudra thought about this rationally , he knew that nobody could match that beast here , not one man , not 100 men , not 10000 men. Not 100,000 men and not 1 million men. Infront of that creature , tier one troops were not even ants.
Only powerhouses like Rahim and the Emperor could face that beast. Maybe Patricia and some other hidden bigshots would also emerge , but one thing was for sure , that no player was coming even minutely close to fighting it.
Since that was the upcoming scenario , Rudra decided to wait for the creature to come here first and only to act later on. He ordered the guild to continue farming beasts at the current rate and that everything was under control.
Although the guild members were worried after seeing the current situation on the merit board , they did not question the leader much , most assumed that Rudra would somehow manage to gain the 100,000 points token , and they only needed to work hard towards filling the 30,000 point gap.
Hence the guild members worked hard and killed beasts with all the effort they could muster. In the 24-26th hour , they managed to scale back 5000 points , shortening the lead of Eternal rebels by only 125K points.
The merit board was like...
Merit board rankings :
1) Eternal rebels : 230000 + (100,000)points
2) True Elites : 205000 points
3) Frozen thorns : 197300 points
4) Twisting serpants : 181004 points
5 ) Eternal darkness : 102594 points
6 ) Elementals : 87150 points

343) pizza lovers : ELIMINATED !
344 ) here to stay : ELIMINATED !

420) never say never : ELIMINATED !
If they could keep this pace up for the remaining 22 hours and the guild leader managed to get the token somehow , then they could still win this thing!
Not giving up untill the last minute , the guild fought with more intensity than ever.
Rudra was focused on his fighting , when a disturbing piece of news entered his ears .... A spy under SMG informed him that 20,000 troops were marching towards the Sector where Neatwit was incharge , the most weakly guarded area for the Elites where they were most vulnerable.
And it seemed they were there to kill the Elites , as scuffles at the boundaries showed that they preferentially killed the Elites and Frozen thorn members.
The spy cursed after delivering the information , it was unprofessional , however he was too caught up in emotion , he had seen vice guild master die , and now the rebels were killing their own , he was overwhelmed with emotion , he was supposed to be a cold and aloof assasin however the Elite were his family , and seeing them in trouble he lost his cool.
Rudra furrowed his eyebrows .... This was a serious problem that needed to be handled immediately. He did not expect Edge to spare troops to focus on eliminating the opposition rather than widening the lead. Another error he had to learn from .
Being someone with the future knowledge he always had a solid plan A , however his plan B was shaky and plan C was garbage. He needed to learn this lesson that not everything would go as he thought it would , and that he could not always accurately predict what the opponents would do.
Just because he himself is he was in Edge's place would not send troops to disrupt opponents , does not mean that edge would not either , he was not him and he thought differently. Hence now that he had no answer or plan for the incoming assault , he had to think of a way to deal with it and fast!
