Chapter 619 Rudra's Plan
Chapter 619 Rudra’s Plan
Rudra was genuinely worried about how to proceed in the war , now that the Western wall had fallen.He had always known that day 2 would be most critical of them all and that there was a huge disparity between the two fighting armies , but he had beleif in his three elders and that they could pull it off.
Unfortunately he was hoping for too much , the western wall had fallen and there was absolutely nothing that Jhonny could have done about it , he was stretched to the limits.
With the enemy capable of infiltrating the city , the odds of an elite victory became very low.
In Omega , defending a city was much more difficult than defending a city in real life as while in real life cities ground forces had to forcibly walk on the streets , in Omega almost every class could easily scale to rooftops and run amok in aeriel battles.
The city was a cluster of one and two storied buildings and for tier 2 players and higher such heights mattered very little.
This is why although defending forces do have a advantage in holding onto a city , the attacking forces can easily circle behind them and strike back , making it a strenuous battle.
Should the elites have engaged in combat with atleast a 1:1.5 ratio , then the scales of battle could be said to be even , however anymore than that and it meant that it was a losing battle without a chance to fight back.
Unlike the open Battlefield , the city had a lot of places to hide and take cover , making the use of large scale weapons pointless.
Although some defensive devices could be mounted , the damage output would not nearly be the same and nor would be the deathcount.
The fighting inside a city is mostly a small unit taking on a small unit on every single street and sub-street with casualties mounting on both sides as the defending forces are forced to retreat . One sector at a time.
There is no major use of strategy or no way to set-up traps for the opposition without blowing up your city first.
Hence Rudra was concerned about how to proceed with his strategizing as inside a city warfare he did not possess enough means to neutralize the enemy without harming his own city as well.
Should push come to shove , Rudra was willing to let Purplehaze city burn to ashes rather than being controlled by a foreign power.
However with fatty assuring him that the wall would be completed once again and the holes would be sealed shut . Rudra found hope inside his heart once again.
Although Rudra could not understand how it was logistically possible , he had complete faith on fatty who had never failed to deliver on a promise since childhood.
With his assurance Rudra could proceed to plan day 3 as normal and arm the troops with the hand-held pulse cannons to give the blood merchants the beating of a lifetime that they would never forget.
Day 3 was the day where the elites finally brought out their greatest Equalizer and really hurt the enemy numbers by advancing legions of soldiers carrying advanced weaponry against a swordfighting and Armour wearing enemy.
It was their biggest ace in the hole and alongside a fresh batch of 300 golems per every Battlefront , it ensured that day 3 would go much smoother than day 2!
However Rudra did not plan to use it from the get-go. Wanting to lure the merchants into their trap first , Rudra wanted them to grow frustrated and send their full numerical capabilities to the Battlefield before revealing the weapons on hour 2 of day 3 and starting the offensive.
Rudra wanted to blast as many blood merchants as they could before they could plan a counter strategy and show them truly what the True Elites guild was made of.
And that was exactly how day 3 of the war started as well.
With a million elite troops out on each front , this was the heaviest troop movement they had shown yet from their side , however more than 50% were only tier 1.
When the war horns finally sounded , the blood merchants also responded and started the day with massive troop movement , as unlike day 2 where they advanced moderately , this time there were 4 million troops advancing from every front , their foot movement rattling the entire earth as they marched on.
For as far as the eye could see there was only a sea of humans in battle armour , holding weapons and fighting with other fellow humans.
If there was a philosopher present , they would undoubtedly feel saddened to see this scene and hundereds of thousands die every few minutes.
The troop movement was so dense , that practically all arrows shot out from the ballistae hit someone from the merchants without fail , giving a 100% hit ratio.
From the elites wall , all the way to the 2 km mark the elites controlled that region , whereas the other 3 killometers after that were jam packed with blood merchants.
On day 3 , every single general was in combat action as scar-face had finally lost his patience in trying to take down the wall.
With both sides pursuing the same goal of annihilation of enemy forces , only one could come out on top. The only question was who?
