Chapter 157 - The Meeting
( True Elites Headquarters , the upside, real world )
Amelia had personally messaged everyone in the guild to be present inside the Elite tower real world guild meeting hall at exactly 4 pm.
Well ... Everyone expet Orochimaru ofcourse , and everyone had indeed gathered in the hall.
At first it seemed like a cool idea to make the decor of the 60th floor the same as the guild hall , however now that the members were meeting here for the 2nd time , honestly it was a bit awkward .
Because while getting the same game like feeling , the world was actually reality. This caused a unnecessary deja vu for all members present which blurred the lines between virtual and real world.
However one thing was absolute , that within the virtual world or in the real world , Rudra was the leader of the group.
Rudra took the stage and everyone instantly became silent. The pressure of war was looming and while every member was a bit nervous , they were more exited to see what the leader came up with.
They belived in Rudra and his capabilities , if the impossible could be achieved , then he was the man to achieve it.
Rudra looked at the crowd and smiled , not a single person in the room looked scared even though a ma.s.sive war was coming .... Now this is what Rudra wanted in his members. No matter the odds there should be a determination to win , and these lads had it.
Rudra said " Well , there has been a shortage of manpower lately even with the addition of 300 superbly talented people into the guild. I have seen guild members having to do menial tasks , and as a guild leader i cannot let this continue any longer.... ".
Everyone in the room was confused? Manpower problem ? Ummm leader there is a war problem currently if you forgot ?
Karna Aka Leo Crispi asked " Are we hiring new members guild leader? ".
Rudra smiled and said " not currently , we have a strict entrance policy that cannot be laxed , vice guild master ".
Everyone was even more confused .... How were they going to solve the manpower problem without hiring new members?
PoisonToadGamakichi asked " Then are we hiring NPC"s? ".
Rudra said " Yes, we have indeed hired a lot of NPC"s but that is a topic for another day , right now what i am talking about is different ".
Not wanting to create any more suspense Rudra said .... " See , the things is like this , although the modern world looks down on slavery , they perfectly enjoy exploiting employees into low paying service contracts. The only difference between working as a slave and an employee is the name tag that we attach to it ".
Many people nodded , it resonated with people in a deeper level , those who worked in an abusive corporate contract knew that they were no different than slaves.
However how does it apply here?
Rudra continued " naturally to solve the manpower problem of our guild without relying on NPC"s and without lowering our recruitment standards we need talented service people ( slaves ) ".
Rudra paused and looked around the room
Then he said " 100,000 alliance members should be enough ? No? 3 years of service debt for loosing the war? ".
The entire hall erupted in clamour ..
INSANE ..... THE LEADER IS INSANE!!!
What confidence.... What arrogance .... The leader how much confidence does he have in the guilds victory?
Rudra laughed loudly seeing the clamour , his eyes shone with determination as he said " The alliance weaklings dare challenge the mighty True Elites , now they need to be taught the law of the jungle , after we trample on them in war ... Yes ofcourse we will plunder their resources , but we will also force them into submission! You dare challenge us? Then you shall pay! ".
" Let me make it very clear ladies and gentlemen , there are good guys and there are bad guys , and Rudra Rajput Aka guild leader Shakuni , is a bad bad guy, if you are not an Elite , you are not worthy of my mercy ... The true elites is made for the best of the best players , and the alliance is privileged to serve us... After the war we will rule PurpleHaze city ladies and gentlemen, MARK MY WORDS".
Rudra was out of breath but he continued " The elders have been informed about the three phases of the war , and they will breif you individually about your roles in the war ... I wont lie to you guys , the war will be tough and there is no margin for error , but follow the plan and we will crush the alliance ! ".
Everyone nodded , they looked determined .
Rudra said " this meeting is mainly about telling you guys that tommorow inside the game , there will be another war meeting , but it is only a show for luring out the spy Orochimaru , heed nothing that is discussed tommorow , but act as if it is the most important meeting of your life .... Your acting tommorow will be important , i expect no slip ups ".
Everyone became a little nervous , but they nodded in understanding .... They had to be at their sharpest tommorow if the bait for Orochimaru was to succeed.
The meeting was dismissed after that , and the elders took over their respective group briefings. Explaining the real war plan and individual roles.
The Elites members showed shocked expressions after shocked expressions after learning the trump cards the guild held. They became even more exited for the war after that.
Rudra who was overseeing the entire situation was deep in thought , he had a deep worry that he had not expressed to the guild members.

Rudra"s deepest worry was that even after chipping away the ma.s.sive numbers of the opposition there would be more than 20 thousand alliance members left standing against 250 or so elites.
Should the alliance then reveal hidden cards , it would get really difficult for the elites to win.
Rudra would be a fool to think that numbers was the only strength that the alliance had .... Six first rate guilds were bound to have one or two hidden cards. However how much will those cards tip the scale of the war?
As the leader he could not show his worries to anyone , he had to remain strong and focused , his boundless confidence should inspire everyone else, however the reality was that noone feared loosing the war more than Rudra did , noone doubted every move he planned and was a bigger critique than he was for himself.
As he sat in a cornor engrossed in his thoughts , a woman sat beside him and tugged his arm , and said " Its okay guild leader , we beleive in you , but you can also rely on us , we wont let you down ".
Rudra glanced to the side to find Naomi sitting beside him smiling ..... His heart warmed , this girl she understood the burdens he carried.
He gave her a bright smile .....
