Chapter 421 - War (2) : The Spoils Of Draconia
Karna had specially spent the last entire week of the preparation time before the war to retrofit the Dragonhead flamthrowers and the Dragon screech device in the walls of Purplehaze city.
They were concealed using thick metal plates colored exactly as the walls on the outside , and fitted where the holes of the archer tower were made.
The effective range of the Dragonhead flamethrower was only 30 meters , hence they needed the attacking forces to absolutely swarm to the walls before unleashing them for maximum damage.
However the Dragon screech device had no such restrictions. Effective for a range of 400 meters , it could stun incoming enemies and instill within them a dragons fear debuff.
Hence Rudra waited patiently for the attacking forces to close in , currently the frontline was near the 200 meter mark , whereas the backline was back at the 800 meter mark with most of the troops being concentrated at the 600 meter mark away from the walls .
Rudra knew that now was not the time to unleash his best cards , he needed to wait more to reel them in.
However that did not mean that Rudra did not intend to create chaos for the troops and let them think about how to handle the Archballistae. Since the bombs were still decommissioned as per the agreement with Gaia Rudra could not use them. But for this war he had his own way of creating widespread disaster , which was the tier 3 spells he had obtained long ago when Karna and SMG raided the royal warehouse of Nineclouds kingdom , a long time back.
At that time Rudra could not openly use the contents of the theft as the usage would directly implicate him and his guild for the theft. But now that Hazelgroove kingdom was in direct conflict with Nineclouds kingdom and he was the Mayor of Purplehaze city , making any inquiry into his assets very difficult . It was finally time to bring out the big guns!
Rudra had three one time use tier 3 spells in his arms , which he planned on activating at once.
The first spell was Tidal Destruction , which created a giant seatide of 40 meters height and slammed into the opposition with a great force.
Rudra first planned on soaking the burnt battlefield wet , and to Achieve this to the maximum , he wanted to support the tidal destruction with ' Hurricarana ' , a strong gust of wind that would chill the water to extreme cold temperatures and may even freeze it.
Finally Rudra planned on using six point thunderblast , which would launch six devastating thunderstrikes in a radius of 100 meters. But considering the fact that the battlefield would he soaked wet , Rudra assumed that the shock would propagate to many others not in direct contact.
If Rudra had not been promoted into mana knight class with heavy pools of mana and excellent mana circuit , he would not be able to use these spells and would have to rely on wizards . But since he was one now , he was more than capable of using these 3 spells himself
Just when the front line tried to break past and shorten the distance to the wall , out of nowhere a large wall of water appeared , frightening the low level players who had no idea what was going on.
The experienced leaders gave the troops the order to brace for impact , but the force at which the water slammed was not at all a joke , and the entire frontline was washed back about 50 meters , while the others had a hard time standing up straight.
Just as Rudra assumed the massive water wall perplexed the enemy, however before they even had a second to think about what was going on , a chilling gust of wind suddenly appeared out of nowhere .
Naturally by this point , the wizards on the triads side were ready and countered the gust of wind with spells of their own . However infront of tier 3 spell , their tier 2 spells were inferior hence had limited effect in stopping it.
However the real show had not yet started , as Rudra immediately unleashed the final move of the combo. As terrifying thunder struck the water randomly in a 100 meter radius , electrocuting thousands of soldiers.
Those near the point where the lightning struck were directly killed while the others suffered heavy damages.
Overall , 2000 soldiers died and uncountable small injuries happened as a result of the move being unleashed.
Similiar results were seen on the Eastern and southern front where the attack was unleashed by 3 wizards , doing one at a time. In this phase of the war the Elites were completely dominant as the cannon fodders of the Triad alliance were unable to meet their intended goal of blowing the walls open for the superior troops to enter.
Hao Mi was absolutely livid as she had no Intel about the Elites posessing such means of fighting strength.
However the situation was not yet completely grim for her . But she was forced to advance her real attack force to now do the job of the cannon fodders . Which was to blow a hole inside the wall of Purplehaze city.
It was then that a contingent of 60,000 men suddenly appeared out of the forest area outside the battlefield , marching towards the Triad alliance forces.
Upon closer inspection one could see the guild insigna they had on their robes .... It was the insigna of Raging Thunder guild , one of the six super guilds supported by Mithun Ambani.
Rudra was perplexed by seeing this force here , but since the triads were not turning to face them , he knew that these two parties were in the bed together.
60,000 In the nothern side , 20,000 on the eastern and 20,000 on the western side to make a total of 100,000 troops arrived as reinforcements.
Through his eyes of truth Rudra knew that these were not run of the mill players but atleast level 90 and above.
The reinforcements more than fulfilled the deficit caused by the Elites dominating the war uptill now. And with the more responsible regulars filling up the frontlines now , it seemed like the real fight was about to begin now.
20 large sealed containers were being protected in a tortoise formation infront of the north gate , as they slowly tried to approach the walls.
With Rudra's previous experience he knew that these were those Mysterious devices with extreme explosion power. Hence he was vigilant, if the wall fell , then it would truly become a nightmare for the Elites.
Rudra's back was soaked in a little sweat , to say that he was not intimidated was an understatement .... But as a leader he needed to keep his cool , and he knew the priorities as he said " ATTACK THE DEVICES! "
If Rudra could somehow make them explode before they reached the gate , then it would be a windfall for him. Seeing an opportunity in chaos , Rudra desperately tried to defuse the devices , at safe distances to protect his wall!

( Meanwhile somewhere on the surface . In the outskirts of Hazelgroove kingdom )
" HRRRRR , HRRR , CHAK , CHAK , CLCLCLCL "
Jhonny was kicking the dinasaur as if he was riding a horse , urging it to run faster. According to his estimates the war must have already started , he was stuck playing with this mama dinasaur for too long.
Only when he threatened the mama with making an omlette of her eggs did she accept him as her master in exchange for not damaging the eggs.
Now his pet slot had a giant t-rex species inside of it , which gave him some achievement called dinotamer.
Apparently he was the first one in the history of the game to tame a dinosaur , which did not surprise Jhonny one bit. As who would want to tame such ugly scaly lizards who could not even fly or breathe fire.
Dinasaurs were only defective dragons in his eyes , who he did not want to even tame , but he did not understand how he tamed it , nor did he find the option of how to remove a tamed pet.
Since he had no other option he rode the dumb dinasaur towards Purplehaze city. The redeeming quality of its large legs being that it ran faster than wolves. However the mileage it gave was pretty average , as it had to slow down multiple times to catch it's breath.
Jhonny cursed " Hey mama listen , my kids are fighting in a war , WAR get it? , I need to get there fast , i know you haven't done cardio in a while , but please get your dino a** to run faster for me ... Else I will try your children on a pan , i swear ".
The mama dinasaur roared in discomfort but picked up the pace ..... As Jhonny looked into the distance and said " Don't worry boys , Jhonny English is on the way! ".
