Chapter 575 Back Out
Chapter 575 Back Out
Rudra and the group used the return crystal to finally exit the ancient ruins , as they returned to the streets of Purplehaze city , in a random teleportation spot.
Looking around at the familiar streets the elites breathed a sigh of collective releif as the group cheered loudly at successfully completing the ruins exploration.
Everyone wanted to kick back and just logout of the game for a few hours before returning to work , and Rudra was not going to stop anyone . However while he himself was the person who was the most tired of them all , he was the one who also had the most responsibilities on his plate and a time limited quest as well , hence he could absolutely not take any rest , especially when there was so much to do.
Rudra hence returned to the guild headquarters in Purplehaze city where he met with Amelia and Fatty in his office as firstly he got filled in on everything that had happened in the guild while he was away in the ancient ruins.
Amelia filled him with the news obtained by the spies as she told him the timeline to the war and the means that the enemy had at their disposal , as although the numbers were within Rudra's estimation , the nullification of the archballistae and the walls becoming potentially useless was a matter of grave concern.
However Rudra calmly thought about it and decided on a counter strategy as he enacted extremely important measures inside the guild.
Rudra knew that the war this time was too massive to be contained outside the walls of Purplehaze city , hence it was better to set up stations within the city as well , draw the enemy in and fight in a playing field where numbers don't matter .
However if Rudra would openly start working on the city defence with millions worldwide watching , dronacharya was bound to notice and realize something was off , hence Rudra decided to come up with a BS event 45 days from now , under whose guise he would start to reinforce the city .
Rudra hence tasked Amelia with drawing up a fancy event hosted by the elites called the ' Elite championship ' , as in the event the goal would be to reach to the church of light in the inner district from outside the city walls without being tagged by the city security of the elites.
It was basically a Parkour event of a massive scale , whose fine details were yet to be decided. But the price pool must be absolutely massive to create buzz surrounding the event.
Pretending to prepare for the event , Rudra would then start to fortify the city , and drive out all non resident population of travellers out of the city in order to keep the layout a suspense.
This way Rudra would barricade the city and divide it into proper military reinforcement and supply chains centre without anyone being any wiser.
Meanwhile he also decided to sell off the loot from the ancient ruins quickly and raise massive capital for funding war efforts.
Currently the Elites started to immediately work overtime on production of landmines , bombs , potions , weapons and ammunition , all of whom Rudra had pushed into overhaul before he went for the dungeon exploration and thankfully fatty had prepared a massive stockpile in those days for these items.
Hence now Rudra could move towards phase two and prepare for the production of the new technologies obtained from the ancient ruins
1) The Golem Creation Manual
2) The handheld pulse cannon
3) The new strong archballistae made to counter rhino's.
4) Barricades and crowd control devices
5) The camouflage potions
While Rudra also had the mysterious black crystal and the blue crystal as well , both of them were put into guild warehouse for now as , although Rudra was sure they were extremely important now was not the time to delve into its secrets.
With only extremely limited time , Rudra told fatty to breakdown the manufacturing of parts into small individual components and only run an assembly line using the full force of the elite lifestyle guild , while outsourcing the orders for individual parts at extremely lucrative market rates.
This method was sure to cost Rudra trillions of dollars , but Rudra needed hundereds of thousands of weapons and fast , which meant that the Elite lifestyle guild could just not cope up.
Although he found trillions of dollars worth of stuff from the ancient ruins , he was spending it as fast as he got it , as the selling process took time as well and there were commision fees to be paid.
However before Fatty could decide on the specifics , he needed to reverse engineer and make the weapon himself , while the clay golems had to be completely made by the Elites themselves , which meant that it was going to be an extremely tough month for his division .
Rudra dumped all the relevant documents and even all the weird stuff that he could not decipher from back inside the ancient ruins on fatty , and told him to get to work.
Fatty was Rudra's lifeline , as without him leading the lifestyle guild the elites would not be able to win any war whatsoever.
Rudra did not show enough appreciation to this friend of his , who was the person who literally drove the guild behind the scenes and ensured it had a fighting chance at all.
As he sent fatty to work, he himself went to the pond within the royal palace and swam to the bottom and planted the divine plant he obtained from the ruins there , hoping that it would be able to survive and not die . But he only planted one and not all three so that he would not keep all his eggs in one basket.
Coming out he checked the timer on his quest and saw a heartwrenching 71 hours written on it.
