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?
