The forums were ablaze after the Elites interview , especially the part where Rudra boldly claimed that not a single member of the triad alliance would be able to put a single foot inside Purplehaze city was too bold of a claim to be made.

Most of the masses thought this was impossible. No matter how strong the wall that the Elites constructed was , even by brute swarming methods , or using ladders to scale the wall , atleast some soldiers will be able to go past to the other side.

The outcome of the war could be debated , but the fact that noone could cross over at all , seemed far fetched to the masses.

However if my some miracle ... If by some fluke , Rudra actually managed to stay true on his claims , then this war will go down in the legends.

While most regarded this as bold talk, Rudra actually planned on staying true to his words. He was only 20% sure of his plan succeeding , however this was one of those moments where he took his leap of faith and set out an impossible target for the guild to achieve.

He beleived that if the focus was not on the overall picture of winning the war , but simply on not letting a single enemy soldier set foot in their city , no matter how many waves of enemy would come the guild members would not feel disheartened about the overall picture and how much longer they needed to endure. As they needed to endure for only as long as there was a man trying to scale their walls.

Ofcourse this was a double edged sword that Rudra had pulled out , by giving them a very crucial short term goal , he blinded them on the big picture. Which meant that he increased the overall chances of failure of the plan.

However that's how Rudra wanted to roll this time .. because of the future plans he had , and the conversation he had with Patricia about the secrets of the won knights , he knew that this war is nothing in the grand scheme of things , and it was only a opportunity for him to scale up the real ladder.

Rudra's only regret ... Jhonny English was not here yet.

Jhonny promised to be back before the war started , however they were 1 hour away from the war and there were no signs of him.

Jhonny gave Rudra an incredible amount of confidence boost , Rudra genuinely believed that if not for his reincarnator advantage , the epitome of what a player could reach would be Jhonny English . Maybe Jhonny was still better than him with his reincarnation advantage , he did not know it for sure , however one thing was for sure and that was that his presence brought a calm to his mind , as if telling him , ' go do your thing , the sky won't fall with me around '.

Although Karna and the other elders did not explicitly say it , they too felt the absence of Jhonny English. But noone felt it more than Yume , who even though was in full Amitabha mode , ready to martial arts his way through this war. He was still visibly gloomy , which was a lot to take in considering he was usually expressionless.

However there was no time to feel low and think about why Jhonny was not here yet. As with only 1 hour untill the war started a lot was to be done.

Every player not from the True Elites organization was ejected from Purplehaze city. The NPC's were forced into lockdown , as the city military under Rudra rolled out onto the streets and up on the walls.

The battle strategy had already been made , and the supply lines established. Hundereds of thousands of arrowheads , javellins and other long distance throwarbles including special potions were stacked on the walls of Purplehaze city , for the disposal of defending forces.

Archers manned the archer holes , and guards patrolled the 4 meter wide wall , to take care of any skirmishes that may happen on the walls.

Along every 50 meters , one Archballistae was mounted that was manned by 3 Elites , ready to constantly launch volley after volley of attacks.

There were also flame torches and oil kept nearby , incase Rudra gave the order to unleash a flaming volley.

Except for this many hidden cards were kept ready on the Elites side of the wall , to be unleashed as big surprises in critical moments of the war.

Overall , the Elites looked incredibly strong. The mighty walls of Purplehaze had not been battle tested yet , but they looked absolutely massive and impregnable as of now . A nearly 30 meter high and 4 meter wide wall was a architectural marvel and nothing to joke about.

Without a doubt the biggest problem that the invading forces were going to face was how to get past the wall , inside the city and onto the mayor's office to claim the city token .

That was the biggest challenge in the war , and one of the two ways to defeat the Elites. The other way was a complete route , meaning more than 97% of participating members of one side to be dead.

However for Rudra the way to victory was simple , he could use one of these 3 ways to win.

1) Hold the city for more than 48 hours. In which case the other party must forefit their attack and retreat.

2) Route the enemy party to less than 20% of their starting numbers.

3) Force invading forces to surrender.

For Rudra winning was as simple as holding the city for more than 48 hours , this feature was implemented soo that the economy doesn't stagnate because of war , and the access to a region is not blocked for months over petty seiges.

The odds of winning were in his favour , which is why he was soo bold this time . He knew his strength and his guilds strength and wanted to deter his enemies for once and for all using this one battle.

Toppling a city was by no means an easy task , which would be firsthand experienced by Hao Mi and her group today !

The countdown hit 20 mins , and Rudra himself got up on the wall and on the viewing station , as he saw hundereds of thousands lined up two killometers outside of the city walls.

Looking at the massive army , his face was emotionless , but he knew that he was the leader and the thousands following him looked upto him , and although above this wall they were at a vantage position , seeing the sheer size of enemy forces was enough to give the young passouts of the academy a cold feet.

Hence Rudra assessing the situation said " Soo they have lined up outside this city , OUR CITY , they have lined up by the hundereds of thousands , they think that their numbers will scare us , that they can outnumber the Elites and win.

Well they are not the first to try this approach and they wont be the last . Let me tell you men that every single Elite is worth a hundered of them , soo it's not them outnumbering us , but us outnumbering them

AND ILL BE DAMNED IF A SINGLE ONE OF THEM SETS FOOT INSIDE MY CITY.

Since they dared to line up , let us oblige and gun them down!

ALL MEN READY! ".

The timer hit 59 seconds ... Less than a minute left till the war started.

The blood of every Elite boiled at the leaders speach .... They were the Elites , every one of them was equal to a hundred of them .... And they would not let a single one get past .

With determination in their eyes , the Elites were ready for war!
