Chapter 430 - Aftermath Of The War
Chapter 430 - Aftermath Of The War
The Elites complete victory was a phenomenon in its own right. The idea that the size of the guild did not matter , what mattered was quality had been deeply instilled inside the minds of common players.
For tier 3 and tier 2 guilds the Elites were their idols . Rudra along with his bunch of misfits being able to stand upto the bullying of big guilds time after time , was a testament to his guilds strength and a reminder to the world that quality over quantity is the way to go .
The biggest ramification of the Elites winning the war was that the moment Rudra was back at his guild , representatives from 4 super guilds were out there awaiting terms for a negotiation.
Everyone wanted to get their hands on the technology that the Elites posessed , and wanted to build a cooperative alliance with the guild. However not everything was as simple as it looked on the surface.
Naturally Rudra was Allies with the Grey international main guild , and being bound by the same organisation , amongst outsiders they naturally banded together to make a powerblock.
At the time that Rudra's guild was still considered a second rate guild , the battle lines amongst the superpowers had already been drawn. The new age trillionares , such as Ethan Grey , Roy Keane , Daniel Vettori Vs the Old blokes , Mithun Ambani , Elon Musk , Mark Cuban .
There were also the big families and the underworld organization's , basically one Overlord guild over one kingdom.
The Grey international main guild had the Ghost kingdom , The Elites had the Hazelgroove kingdom and so on.
The complications involved amongst physical location of the guild and the real world relations , made the foreign affairs and politics of Omega insanely complicated .
Hence , Rudra adopted a very peculiar stance to all those who wanted to meet him , and that was to dump everything on Amelia . Rudra trusted Amelia enough that he would always make the right choice for the guild , and moreover he wanted none of the headache .
The only technology Rudra was willing to trade at the moment was of the manufactured Archballistae , not the design , but he was willing to sell a working Archballistae to allies at a discounted price.
Although he labelled the price as discounted , there was nothing discount about the price , as his margins were 300% . As for the Dragonhead flamethrowers and the Dragon screech device , the only guild Rudra was willing to lend them too in very limited quantities were the Grey international main Guild.
For the mage tower , well everyone could go f*** themselves , as that was the most heavily protected asset of the True Elites guild.
Although now available for the world to see with a naked eye , the 60 storey tall tower was visible from any given point inside Purplehaze city. As it towered over the entire area. The blue runes lighting up at night had already became a local attraction as locals started to worship the tower.
The concept of the mage tower was soo novel , that except for Fatty kalash , Rudra and Medivh , noone truly understood how exactly the structure functioned , as even within the Elites who participated in building the thing , knowledge over essential components was eluded.
Hence the war brought about with it an unprecedented increase in prestige and power on a world stage for the Elites , as the world recognized its place as the overlords of Hazelgroove kingdom.
Internally , the war also saw Medivh being promoted to the status of an Elder alongside Yume and Naomi , for the contributions made to the Guild. Whereas the academy passouts became ingrained within the guild culture after going through a war , now thoroughly enjoying the status of being an Elite.
The passouts understood how fortunate they were to be a part of the Elites organization and how influential the guild truly was.
Unaware of the arrangements made by the elders of the guild they naturally did not know the methods secured by the guild to use as trump cards into the war. Hence they came in expecting a tough fight , only to come out with an overwhelming victory. Naturally they were elated in the Result.
However the celebrations were not to last for long , as a system notification rattled entire Hazelgroove kingdom.
[ Hazelgroove kingdom Notification ] : Lucifer's general Mazikeen has taken up arms against Hazelgroove kingdom , bearing deep grudge against the current Royal Family of the Kingdom and Emperor Cervantez .
The forces of darkness have captured 13 villages in a span of 1 hour , successfully taking the village of Thol as of latest. The forces are now regrouping to launch an attack on the capital city of Purplehaze in 5 days , where should they be successful in siezing the royal token from the ruling family , then Hazelgroove kingdom will become a Dark Faction ruled country.
All the current light faction players inhabiting the country will have a 90% stat debuff for one month and will be ousted from their territory.
Goodluck Adventurers!
Rudra was baffled after seeing the announcement ... This event had never happened in his past life , why was Mazikeen an end level boss attacking Purplehaze city? And how did the forces of darkness manage to sneak inside Hazelgroove kingdom and even sieze 13 villages in one hour , without anyone being any wiser?
This made absolutely no sense to him and felt like Gaia was toying with him. He had just recieved his share of the massive war indemnity for winning the war against the triad alliance , but before he could even use those funds for public development he found himself amidst yet another war?
Rudra's doubts were legitimate , if large amounts of forces could just materialize out of nowhere and gain control over territories then what was he doing trying to build a strong foundation in Purplehaze ... He might as well just pop up in the elven kingdom and capture vanaheim.
Rudra could not understand how this happened , but he had a strong inkling that somehow it was the blood merchant organization behind the scenes.
And that was indeed the case , in a ritual completely suicidal , Sixteen tier 4 Dark mages and over 40,000 tier 3 mages used their very life essence to open a portal directly from the seventh hell , and rallied 24 million of Mazikeens personal forces inside the dark forest outside Hazelgroove kingdom.
This ritual was only possible after the church of darkness and the blood merchant organization poured considerable resources and expensive materials to facilitate the portal. But only made possible because of Mazikeen using the divine power of Lucifer as a medium .
It was an event that only happened , because Rudra messed up the timeline by rescuing Cervantez , completely changing the direction in which Omega was to develop.
Cervantez reaching tier 5 , threatened the forces of darkness and especially Mazikeen , who knew that the expansion of Hazelgroove kingdom would spell doom for the devil's worshippers . Hence even at the massive cost of resources , and manpower in many demigod realm talents. The forces of darkness decided to intervene and take control of Hazelgroove kingdom before Cervantez grew any stronger.
With such a massive army it was just one village after another , that fell without a struggle , thirteen being the count inside one hour , with the closest being Thol , half a days March away from the capital Purplehaze city.
However what weighed in on Rudra's mind the most was the fact that the chosen battlefield was Purplehaze city . Which by extention was his territory . A war on such a scale would spell extreme challenges for him as the owner .
As most likely it would result in major damages to the infrastructure of the city in the best case , and complete annihilation in the worst case.
" ***@##$#"@"#"##" , Rudra cursed .... It seems like he just dived in from one war to another!
But it wasn't him alone who was cursing , as the entirety of Hazelgroove kingdom was , every single organization inside it , every single player linked with it.
It was written inside the patchnotes of the fourth update that the territory a player was associated with would majorly affect them as it was a time of globalisation . At that time nobody thought that the effect would come this way.
Well atleast with the fight being inside Purplehaze city the Elites were the boss authority on the things ..... Or atleast the mini bosses , as the kingdom war was definitely going to see the entire Hazelgroove army in action
And most likely the tier 5 emperor himself!
