Chapter 327 - Walking Into An Ambush
Rudra did not expect an ambush from Eternal Rebels , it was a tactical error on his part to think that Edge would tuck his tail and run. Hence when the arrows and magic spells suddenly rained down on the group , for a second he was clueless.
Many of the slaves died , even some of the soldiers got injured . Immediately Karna shouted " Ambushhh!!! ". As everyone became on guard.
Rudra was calm now , the initial surprise had waned , he was not the same man he was once when edge s.n.a.t.c.hed the merit toke his hand and he just froze.
After winning against nightmare he had found confidence in himself and his skills , as he was calm and critically started to a.n.a.lyse his position.
They were surrounded by a hill on one side and forest on the other , the road was overall narrow , and places to retreat were non-existent. Truly a great place to lay an ambush.
When Rudra looked back , he saw some people wearing eternal Rebel guild colors , as they dropped boulders at the road where Rudra and group came from , cutting their means to retreat.
Rudra spotted about five thousand enemies on the hill , and two thousand more inside the forest line.
He made an a.s.sumption that a total of maybe 10,000 members laid ambush , and thought that maybe 3000 or so would march on the narrow road towards them , engaging in close range conflict.
Rudra gave the call " Alright guys , it"s the rebels camping us , Karna and Neatwit will take the front. PinkLotus you have to guard Medivh at the centre. Tank you are with PoisonToadGamakichi , you take the forest line. Naomi keep the soldiers healed as much as possible. Only use ma.s.s heal spells and not individual ones. Conserve mana. I take the hillside. Go!".
Saying so Rudra used blink , suddenly teleporting at the top of the hill , elven sword and Excalibur at hand , starting to ma.s.sacre the hillside troops.
Rudra wasted no time as he started with using the world Slash and 10,000 cuts , it was one special move after other , as he used twin blade hurricane, overhead slash , cross Slash , claymore and swift retret in quick succession.
He was a walking slaughter machine , as he alone had a damage output greater than Neatwit and Karna combined , who were also on a terrific slaughter run.
The forest side was performing weak , however with Medivh"s support and Naomi keeping the soldiers alive , the situation seemed balance as of yet. However , it was all about to change very soon.
As edge lead a party of 10,000 troops from the front! All clad in level 55 or more fullset Armour , the slaves were quickly slain , and Karna and Neatwit started to be progressively pushed back as they started to loose a chunk of their health.

( Real world , Bo"s POV , from a rooftop )
Only 30 seconds remained untill the timelimit that Jhonny gave him was up. In the previous minutes that Bo had to himself , he made a priority list of whom to kill first if given the chance.
Hence when the time came , Bo steadied his breath and pulled the trigger on the first enemy on the list. Then reloading at super human speed , he made the second and third shots too.
When the first shot hit the first target , it hit him square in the skull , pa.s.sing straight through and even hitting a second target , while the crowd tried to process this , a second bullet also killed two people and a third killed one and injured another.
Screams quickly followed as , panick gripped the crowd. They were terrified seeing their fellow comrades die at their feet. The local police quickly closed In with bulletproof s.h.i.+elds in hand , as they tried to make a protective barrier around the ministers. However they were too slow , as Bo was able to kill 15 more of them bringing his kill tally to 20 , before the rest were secured.
Seeing how he had no more shots that could be made , Bo unhesitatingly left the station and bolted to go to safety.
This was the best sniping he had ever done in his career , better than his top score at mercenary academy , as he had taken out 20 opponents in 17 shots!
Meanwhile , Jhonny was calmly eating a subway sandwich at a nearby parlour , as mayonese dripped from his fingers as he licked them dry.
Sound of loud police sirens started , as they zoomed past his location towards the funeral place. Loud sirens saying that this area was now under lockdown , and that noone was allowed to leave.
Jhonny who was done enjoying his sandwich calmly wiped his hands and threw his waste in the dustbin nearby , as civilians in the background panicked , and started to run in a frenzy to back inside the shops and clear of the streets.
Jhonny too wanted to go inside a shop , but when he tried to walk , he realized that his feet felt extra sticky for some reason. As he looked under the soul of his feet he saw that there was a chewing gum attached to it . Jhonny instantly became disgusted , and first walked over to a nearby red fire hose , as he rubbed the soul of his feet against it to try remove the chewing gum.
Coincidentally the firehose was an old construction , there since 2020 , having rusted to the core , not being ever used. Hence it cracked under Jhonny"s boot , spraying water out at high intensity!
Coincidentally the first police car which was a security car clearing the way for the escaping ministers was. .h.i.t right in the winds.h.i.+eld with the water , which cracked under the immense pressure hence , the water hitting the driver.
The first police car hence abruptly pressed brake , causing the car right behind him , escaping in panick to crash into it , the first car flipping by the impact.
Soon a third car and then a fourth all got blocked by the traffic jam. The escape route of the ministers was abruptly cut off .... All because Jhonny wanted to wipe off a chewing gum!
