The blood merchant organization was marching into the Aquahose Kingdom with an army of over 33 million strong. It was obviously hard to conceal such a massive troop movement as skirmishes with the army broke all across the Aquahose kingdom.

  During the first few hours the reason behind the war was not clear , but soon the target was confirmed to be the True Elites Kingdom and the world reacted to it.

  For the first time since inception the Elite stock tumbled into a freefall as the shareprice lost over 17% of its value in just 6 hours.

  The army marching towards Purplehaze city was so large that it would take a rider one full hour to go from end to end within the marching ranks.

  However midway through their tear of the Aquahose kingdom the army met with the Russian held areas where they were forced to fight their first real fight , slowing their march significantly as they saw their first share of casualties.

  What Lita was doing for Rudra at the moment was that she was giving him official time to react to this crisis. The countdown had began and now the war was sure to befall upon the elites in less than 3 days time.

  Technically this would have been the point where Rudra would have found out about this ploy and this marching army and 3 days would have been all that the Elites would have had to prepare for this crisis.

  However thanx to a fateful meet with dronacharya that reality changed and the elites got ample preperations time.

  Even so , the news came as a shocker to the guild as there was an atmosphere of panic amongst the common members who did not know about the attack in advance.

  Rudra hence called for an elder's conference before scheduling a general meeting later in the day with the entire guild present.

  This time the battlefield was going to be too massive for Rudra alone to perfectly micromanage it . This time the elites had to divide shit into parts and each elder had to lead their divisions with gusto.

  With every elder including Fatty and Amelia present in the room and the leaders of the Church's army and the Hazelgroove Empire army attentively listening to him, Rudra started explaining the actual war plan , as he said " Look here guys , this time there are 4 basic battlefields that I have broken the fight into , whereas there will be 2 more special areas of battle that will be created by luring our enemies into traps using our wits".

  Rudra pointed to a map of Purplehaze city and its immediate surroundings for several killometers as he started moving pieces around the map , trying to explain his plan.

  " The front they are marching from right now is the nothern front of the Purplehaze city , it will be the most chaotic and the biggest battlefield and it will be the one controlled by me .

  However if the enemy general is not brain-dead, which i am fairly certain he is not , he will try to split the battlefield into many fronts , as splitting our forces will seriously thin out our ranks , but it would be a drop in the bucket for them.

  I expect many forced to circle around Purplehaze city and place a complete siege on our city , creating 3 more fronts . The southern , eastern and Western front.

  The most important goal here is to not let the enemy breach your line of defense and just hold , hold , hold , hold , hold.

  HOLD until we are ready for phase two of the war !

  Guys this is EXTREMELY important and our chances of success only begin to appear if we are somehow able to hold them till the end of phase one of the war plan , outside the city walls.

  The south will be taken by Karna.

  West will be Neatwit

  East will be sir Jhonny.

  The tier 4 generals from the Hazelgroove army and the Church , will provide assistance against tier 4 warriors of the enemy on any of these 4 fronts required , however if push comes to shove , it's upto the elders to defend against them …… ".

  A heavy atmosphere spread across the room , the manner in which Rudra was explaining war tactics was completely unlike his usual confident self.

  This time the pressure was real , and the three most senior elders of the guild felt the pinch to hold their grounds as requested by Rudra.

  Although nervous , the three of them swore to hold their battle lines for as long as Rudra needed them to!

  Rudra continued " If SOMEHOW , we manage to get through phase one. Then the tide starts to turn in our favour.

  The Purplehaze city wall will be breached , i have no question about it . But our real battlefield where we slaughter them by the millions that enter our town , will be inside the city.

  Medivh will be inside the mage tower and responsible to properly conduct the flow of the battle , whereas all the other elders will rally their troops to strategically retreat one block at a time while killing as many enemies as possible before coming closer and closer to inner city.

  The other special attack division will be led by SMG and his camouflage unit , this unit was made after obtaining the new camouflage potion obtained in our last adventure and trained by SMG in the past few weeks. , as they will lay seige both inside and outside the city in the forests , as they will put the fear of God inside the blood merchant army with randomly appearing out of nowhere to drag their soldiers to hell.

  There will be 15 such camouflage unit zones , in these circled map areas and they will be the one's responsible to cause chaos within the enemy ranks.

  Although it is a suicide mission , as the chances of these troops returning alive is slim to none. This division is extremely important to the overall victory of the war ".

  Rudra kept addressing the elders for another 40 minutes as he gave them a rough idea about the war plan , however naturally Rudra kept some specifics hidden that he could not dare to reveal before outsiders like the church and the empire. However overall , the war this time depended on many variables and every elder had a major role to play .

  Rudra ended the talk with " Guys I'll be honest , the chances of our victory are 30-35% at best . However if we can follow my plan to the tee , and every single elder is able to carry their task out 100% , then our chances of victory are 100%.

  It's no longer impossible to win with the preperations we have already made and how hard our lifestyle division has worked . However , this one is not easy at all.

  The war decides our fate. So Be ready ! ".
