Chapter 773: A city fight (1)
With the wall collapsed the army of death stormed the city un.o.bstructed as it basically became a plain street fight without there being proper defensive mounts.
A defending force could have an advantage while defending a city from ground zero but that needed them to make lots of pre-planning by setting up roadblocks and supply centres.
They needed to backward integrate a whole lot of things for their forces to fall back only one block at a time with their every retreat being covered and every advance being backed.
Such a robust structure needed careful planning of reinforcement centres , medical centres as well as wall mounted defensive structures , just like the elites did in Purplehaze city before the invasion of the blood merchants , however that was only possible because the elites knew that the attack was coming for months and had ample time to set such things in motion.
Without those things however there was no tactical advantage that a city"s defending forces had over the invading ones .
It all finally dropped to the numbers game without any tactical advantage and for once Rudra was fighting in a side with an overwhelming greater numeric capacity.
This was one of the reasons why Rudra called for the full strength of the army on this attack as it was one of those days where the result of the fight ultimately did depend on the numbers game.
The army of death outnumbered the city"s forces nearly 3:1 and this gave them the ability to charge swords blazing as the enemy forces were attacked left right and centre.
Rudra took on the tier 5 demon solo , while the pope of darkness was taken on by the other four demon commanders.
The tier 5 demon incharge of defending the city was named " Vigo " and he was ranked the number 2 strongest commander in Lucifer"s army.
Vigo was someone who could actually go toe to toe with a beast like Rudra as despite Rudra having an unbelievable boost of stats , he was still not fast or strong enough to overwhelm Vigo in a one vs one fight.
Rudra"s strength already put him past an average tier 5 existance, as his stats were nearly double of that level , however tier 5 was a vast tier and those at the very peak of tier 5 were existances who had lived for a long time and whose power exceeded Rudra"s by a fair margin.
Vigo was not at the absolute peak of tier 5 , but could be considered to be in the higher range for sure and was an absolute master of wind and water arts with water being his strongest forte.
