He felt dismay seeing that he still had nearly 40 more days to go untill his debuff period was over and he was able to lead the guild from the front.
The moment of taking down the Nineclouds kingdom had arrived , and unlike last time the Elites did put a post on the forums that told Nineclouds kingdom players to abandon their kingdom and migrate , a week prior to the day where the elites would rebel , as Rudra wanted to give everyone time to choose their sides.
Unlike an external invasion , the Elites this time had taken control of majority towns and cities inside Nineclouds kingdom , giving them the option to declare independence and cause rebellion.
Rebellion was different from external attacks , as here every guild inside the Nineclouds kingdom got the chance to either join the rebellion or fight against it , and depending on the side one picks , victory and defeat determines rewards and penalties.
Rudra giving everyone time to choose made it so that every guild inside the kingdom started to prepare for the war early on , as they were cautious of other forces , never knowing who was on whose side.
When the judgement day came , it was shockingly Karna leading everyone to the front , as the Rebel forces declared independence , plunging the Nineclouds kingdom into a civil war!
All government services were suspended and there was a martial law put under effect . However the royal forces were completely overwhelmed , as fights broke out inside every town every village of the city , and the well camped elites were very well positioned to defend their lands and launch strategic operations.
This is where giving management rights to the players came biting back to the NPC rulers , as unless a player managed village was not royal friendly , the village could not be used as a military base.
The only redeeming part that the royals had at the moment were the tier 4 generals within their ranks , who could single handedly capture many villages and slay enemy forces.
However with the players being Immortals who could resp.a.w.n after death , the NPC were always going to be on the loosing end.
Days went on as Rudra only watched from the sidelines as Karna took made progress on the battle fronts and managed the guild from the front lines.
Only the elders in the guild were privy to the information that Rudra was currently recuperating , as it was extremely sensitive knowledge that if spread would spell doom for the guild.
However , it was the first time that the world saw the elites without their ill.u.s.trious leader , as the true worth of the elites came s.h.i.+ning out , which was usually outs.h.i.+ned by Rudra"s presence.
Although karna was no schemer like Rudra , he was a very rationale and steady minded man who took every step with caution. Hence although his progress was comparitively slow , he was very efficient in what he did and had the ability to limit casualties to the minimum.
This operation was much needed for karna who finally started to gain deep respect of the guild members , as upto this point not many had interacted with the vice guild master of the guild , as it was always Rudra on the forefront.
The world appreciated Karna for the first time , as even Rudra was left impressed by his methods of dealing with the enemies moves.
Moreover Rudra could see how deep of an impact he had over karna , as sometimes while making the speeches to motivate the members , karna unconsciously tried to imitate Rudra , as he talked the same way Rudra did and said the same words.
This genuinely flattered Rudra as he could feel rea.s.sured that in his absence the guild was in the right hands.
However things stopped going smoothly after day 4 of the rebellion , as one Dronacharya had decided to interfere in the fighting.
Using small yet specially trained task forces , he deliberately sabotaged various military operations as the Elites had to face many difficulties because of that.
Dronacharya was doing it to flush Rudra out , however he did not know that the elders of the guild were also not someone that he could dare mess with without putting much thought into it.
Jhonny , Neatwit , SMG , Medivh and Karna , everyone took one military unit each as they lead the troops personally , along with the antic.i.p.ation to meet the special task force for every event.
