Chapter 553 Biggest crisis since establishment
After Rudra gave Amelia the mission of spying on dronacharya , she was extremely thorough with her investigation as every half an hour she would make a note in her diary about his behaviour.
Initially she was only to report to Rudra after a week , however within 2 days she had to barge into Rudra"s cabin panting.
" We"ve got a problem! ". Exclaimed Amelia as she tried to figure out on where to start her report.
" There is a huge army , there is a very powerful man with a hideous looking face and some unknown shaman , however the important thing is they are coming for us . There will be war soon! ". Amelia said with urgency as she felt her heart beating out of her chest.
" Slow down , what happened tell me clearly , i don"t understand a thing ". Rudra asked Amelia to calm down as Furball rubber her soft furcoat between her legs to calm her down , as after a minute Amelia started explaining the situation to Rudra.
" It"s like this .... Initially when i was spying on the man who you told me about there was nothing special about him , he was just a regular player farming , but then he went into a cave and everything changed.
There were many powerful people in that cave and there was an actual teleportation array built there , having rhodium crystal far bigger than our own , my estimate is that it can teleportat 10,000 people at once!
When i realized that he had access to such a resource i paid more attention to him and his movements , as when he reappeared on the other side of the teleportation array , there was a HUGE military camp , 10 million atleast and strong ones at that.
However even then i did not Panick , i continued to watch on , however then the guy went onto the biggest tent in the camp , which i a.s.sume would be the leaders and met a hideously scar faced man there , looking at whom intimidated me from a gazillion miles away!
Even then i braved through and watched on like i was supposed to , however then i saw them talking over what looked like a map of Purplehaze city , as there were small army soldier figurenes placed on the map.
THEY WERE DISCUSSING WAR STRATEGY , there"s no doubt about it , a war is coming .... ".
Amelia said everything she had to say as she gasped for air as Rudra had a deep frown forming on his face.
" So We are in the endgame huh ? ". Rudra said to himself in a low voice as he calculated the elites current position.
He knew that since he had already picked a fight with Lucifer there was no peace for him anymore as Lucifer was undoubtedly going to aim for his head.
However he did not expect that he would send the entire blood-merchant organization , his arms on middle earth for him.
Amelia might not have seen the scar faced man before however Rudra knew him very well. He was the leader of the blood merchant organization and one of the endgame bosses of the main storyline of Omega.
However now that boss was gunning for his kingdom , and with a ma.s.sive army at that. It seemed like the happy days of the elites were over!
Sending Amelia away after telling her to keep an eye out for more information Rudra decided to table out all his ongoing projects at the moment , as with a war looming priorities had to s.h.i.+ft .
Initially Rudra was supposed to undergo wedding planning mode as both his weddings both in real life and in-game were going to happen in a few days time.
However with the war looming over his head he needed to rethink what he needed to do.
His new priorities were :
1) Reach tier 4 before the war
2) Figure out the secret of the ancient ruins as soon as possible and schedule a ruin exploration to get potential aid for the coming war.
3) Plant spies within the enemy ranks to cause chaos when needed as well as steal information.
4) raise enough money to wether through this storm.
Rudra suddenly felt as if the old stressful days were back , as he knew better than anyone about the main storyline of Omega and the blood merchant army.
Amelia was wrong in her a.s.sumption that it was a 10 million strong army , because it was not . It was a 30 million strong army with 10 million of those troops being tier 2 or above. It was not a run of the mill army as it was supposed to be a force that was threatening at the continental level , and entire kingdoms were to shake at its might.
In Rudra"s past timeline , the Ghost kingdom was razed by the blood merchant organization as within 4 days , the only memory of the king was a hideously scarred head placed on a pike outside his own palace.
A total of 14 million civillians dead and millions more forced to flee.
The kingdom also became a dark faction territory , untill an unlikely alliance of light faction countries won the barren peace of land back from the merchants at a heavy price.
The leader of the bloodmerchants , Scarface was also not someone simple as except for Cervantez or the lizardman king , n.o.body in the continent was his match.
At peak tier 4 he was unrivalled under tier 5 and could easily take on a tier 5 existance with support from his teammates.
Blessed by Lucifer himself , he was almost like a player , as he could always come back to life after being killed for 24 hours as long as his body was not completely destroyed.
However with his second in command being a healer with a speciality in growing back organs and a loyal army of tier 4 followers , scar-face was never allowed to die , as he would resurrect within next 30 minutes.
This was why he was extremely complicated to deal with , and everyone around him had to be taken out before he could be defeated , however with him around focusing on anyone else was a challenge.
Even Rudra was not expecting this when he asked Amelia to spy on dronacharya , as he did not expect Dronacharya "s connection to the devil being so profound.
Had Rudra been caught off-guard with an army on his doorsteps and no prior information he would have lost this war 100% , however with his meeting with dronacharya and his quick wits the course of history was altered .
The reason why the elited had their initial success and astronomical growth was undoubtedly because of Rudra"s reincarnation knowledge , however the reason why they kept coming out on top in any conflict whatsoever was because sound thinking and capable team members at its foundation , as now with time to prepare for the war the odds of an elite victory had increased monumentally than before and it was all because Rudra had the foresight to spy on dronacharya the day he met him.
Knowing that the guy was shady , Rudra ordered a full investigation and now the results of those investigations were going to help the elites immensely in the future.
However nonetheless , Rudra understood that the elites were in the biggest crisis since their establishment now , as the war that would change the entire continent was headed towards Purplehaze city!
