Chapter 387: Causing Mayhem
Rudra"s scheme was too intricate and detailed , n.o.body would think of manipulating hundereds of thousands , just to conquer a simple village.
Rudra wanted to take down Mercury village in a single day. Mercury village was one of the beginner villages , ran by a NPC. Hence it was not a player controlled region.
Using this fact as his advantage , Rudra decided to spread a rumor about mercury village. Contacting his Elite academy students , Rudra gave them one order , which was to anonymously spread a rumor on the forums , that gold coins randomly sp.a.w.ned on the streets of the beginner village of Mercury.
Along with it , post some videos of some people indeed finding a coin and crying in joy. Rudra wanted to create a complete social media scandal. Appointing all the combat division recruits to randomly keep dropping coins inside the village mercury , and keep filming and posting the reactions of other genuine parties who found it on the forums.
Rudra"s army was a two day March away from Mercury village , and Rudra wanted to jam pack the village with players , before leading his army inside with common man"s clothing , as groups of three or four would kill all soldiers they find on the streets blending in with the crowd.
Rudra would infiltrate the entire army as foot soldiers inside , using the crowded streets as his perfect cover.
Rudra"s plan was put into motion , as the latest Topic of discussion on the forums , especially amongst the newbies was Mercury village.
Gold was an extremely valuable currency , and newbies before level 10 had almost about 10 silver worth of saving. To them 1 gold coin was a huge amount with which they could buy a lot of stuff.
Naturally , the appeal of free money brought in a lot of people the first day. As slowly but surely , the village was getting influx of a lot of solo players and newbies preffered sp.a.w.ning in Mercury village as their choice of location.
The triads guarding the city were quickly alarmed by the situation , as they understood the security threat behind the situation , however they were not the village chief and had no power to stop people from entering the village.
Their concerns fell on deaf ears , as the village chief was extremely happy to see the village blossom , the sales of armour and other goods had been astronomical in the last one day.
Hence the witch hunt to find random gold coins on the street started. The second day even more people joined in on the action , as freshly level 11 players who obtained the license to venture into the wild , also wanted some of the gold.
The popularity of Mercury village had skyrocketed , as everyone was posting photos of finding gold coins on the street. In one day on Rudra"s orders nearly 50,000 coins had been dropped on the streets , as even those who could not find a coin themselves , were motivated as someone on The crowded street would shriek in joy when they found one.
This matter got blown out of hand when Rudra decided to fan the flames even more as he contacted Amelia , and let her post a photo of a guild recruit holding a gold coin in his hand and smiling and making an ok sign , with the caption " Getting lucky in Mercury village ".
This immediately recieved main stream attention , as the Elites were a very famous guild , closely followed by millions.
By the time , Rudra camped with his troops 2km outside of the Mercury village , the city had been jam packed with people , was now turning into security threat , as Rudra marginally reduced the drop rate of gold coins. Only one people would find a gold coin in nearly 15-20 minutes , which started to agitate the crowd.
Soon fights broke out , as people got more and more frustrated , as Rudra found the perfect time to enter.
When Rudra explained his plan to the commodore"s they looked at him funny , however after realising that their lieutenant was serious , their faces had paled .
But what could they do? They could not revolt against the lieutenant , as his authority was absolute. They tried reason with Rudra , but he simply a.s.sured them it would be fine.
However seeing the chaos in the city , they were now looking at Rudra in a different light , this might just work , they dared to beleive. As disguised as common men , in small groups of 20-30 , men started to enter the city every 10 minutes.
Rudra had told the men to wait for 3 hours and pretend to look for gold coins , before enough men entered the city to start the plan. Rudra did not enter the village himself , as he had a second scheme planned that was the phase two of the plan.
Phase two needed him to lead the troops personally to make it work , if it went good , he would conquer the village within a single day! With the enemy completely routed.
Standing over a hill , alongside two commodore"s , Rudra looked at the time , it was time for the show to start , as he looked at the small village under him and said " Let the Mayhem Begin! ".

( Meanwhile inside the True Elites guild )
Fatty kalash alongside 7 other blacksmiths were clamouring at steel , a 40 foot long steel structure , the room littered with 50 such things.
Fatty Kalash shouted " HEY HEY HEY , PUT YOUR BACK INTO THIS , I DONT WANT DENTS IN THIS THING ".
" Sir , Yes Sir! ".
Fatty was trying his best to mentain the quality of the structure , as he constantly cursed Rudra in his mind , the sturcture he wanted fatty to make , covertly at that , had nearly 40,000 moving parts and was nearly 400 feet high structure fully a.s.sembled .
The complexity of building it , was not something thousands of workers could handle , yet he had to make do with only 100. As those who were not Elite contracted players , living in the upside , could not be trusted with this work.
Even then only Fatty Kalash was privy to the complete design , as the others were only given one single piece to work with. Extreme caution was undertaken as not even the workers knew what they were making.
The thing Rudra brought back was too valuable , and completed in its full glory , it would make the elites a superpower in Omega. Fatty had no doubt about it. Yet , he was the one who had to make it a reality and the pressure on him was unreal
