Chapter 756: Hell shaken up
Chapter 756: Hell shaken up
Following furball’s blast , although the demon beserker was not dead , his body was smothering from fire and second and third degree burns were visible on his tough dark red demonic skin.
His right eyebrow was completely reduced to dust and his hair were completely missing from the right side.
Although the demon had 65% of its HP intact , one fire blast from furball chipped off 35% of his net HP which terrified not only the demon , but the soldiers beneath him too.
The beast tamer was already too afraid of furball to act and half the townhall that they were desperately protecting was already blown to smithereens. Under such circumstances the demon soldiers who were a cohesive unit uptil this point lost their will to fight as one after another many abandoned their weapons and started to run for their lives.
Furball became a one per terror show in the area as it took on the hellhound alone and although the beast was immune to fire attacks , furball used illusion to trap it in a mind control spell such that it started to rampage and attack the demons itself becoming a liability rather than an asset to the demon army.
Since the rest of the elites had already started to wipe out the defendants of the town , it became only a matter of time now that the town defenses crumpled.
It was indeed what happened , as 90 minutes later , furball had finished off the demon beserker and Rudra gained control of the townhall by killing the mayor as the elites gained control of the town of gates.
The defending forces were routed and all the tier 4 generals laid dead on the town floor and it only took the elites 2 and a half hours to achieve this result from start to finish.
Without a single crack in the outer wall of the city or a single round of arrows or ammunition wasted , the elites took control of a well equipped and rationed city without losing a single man.
In just under one day since they set out to fight , Rudra had completed two weeks worth of agenda and that too without his forces being overexerted or overstretched.
It was a display of war strategy at its finest as Rudra proved his technical superiority in combat planning by achieving this perfect result.
When Rudra established the elites , he had exactly this vision in mind to create a cohesive group of superior players that could take the world on even when outnumbered, and today fighting alongside those same men after almost a decade of gaming , he found that vision to come true.
The 30 of them could achieve the same results as an army of a million strong and it swelled Rudra’s chest in pride to see the fruits of his initial dream finally bore result.
He presented the same terms to the hundereds of thousands of inhabitants of the town of gates as he did to the other two villages , which was to leave or perish.
Many left , however close to a 100,000 demons chose to die with their fallen town and Rudra obliged their wishes.
Choosing himself to be the temporary guardian of the town , Rudra alongside Tank were the only two who stayed back in the now ghost town , while the others went back to the other two villages and finally back to the camp to inform the camp of the successful raid.
As per Rudra’s instructions, 3 men occupied each village and the rest returned to the base camp and were now under Karna’s command.
**********
( Asmodeus’s POV )
When Asmodeus saw the 22 tier 4 generals returning back to the camp in little over a days time he believed the worst and thought that Rudra and 7 other generals must have lost their lives in battle.
He hence rushed upto Karna and asked ” What happened, why are you all back in just a day? “.
Neatwit frowned at the question, he did not like the questioning tone of the demon , being super protective of Karna and Rudra, he naturally said ” Oye oye , is that how you talk to your first commanders men? Let me tell you , not even the guildmaster talks in such a tone to the vice guildmaster , you better….. ”
Neatwit wanted to say more however Karna placed a hand on his shoulder to signal him to stop.
Neatwit instantly paused as he let karna speak.
” Reporting to the second commander , We have captured the two villages and the town , there have been no casualties so far. First Commander Shakuni is currently holding the town of gates until the army arrives “.
When Karna finished speaking, Asmodeus was stunned silent as he could not beleive his ears.
Although Rudra marched with a group of 30 strong men , capturing towns was not as easy as cabbage.
One could not capture 2 villages and one town in a day like it was nothing , yet now Rudra ‘s men claimed to have completed the task.
” So the mission is done? ” Asmodeus asked in half disbelief.
” Sir yes sir ” replied karna with a slight smile.
” Good ” Asmodeus said almost inaudibly as he ran away to report to the others and Hades.
In the next day that followed two identical reports were read our to two different gods in hell , one of the reports was interpreted as good news while the other was grim.
The camp of death praised their first commander and his Elites for a successful mission and chanted their names with joy and pride , while the demons on Lucifer’s camp shuddered to hear that name.
Either way , Rudra’s name reverberated throughout hell as irrespective of how the news were spread his name and notoriety rose alongside it.
The final takeaway on both sides was the same – Shakuni of the elites had arrived in hell and had started the hunt for Lucifer’s throne.
