MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master

Fighting tooth and nail and till their knees caved , the elites somehow managed to get to the day's end without the wall being breached.

There was 15 hours of daylight in Purplehaze city , and after 15 hours of back and forth intense fighting although there were no major victories the elites did manage to hold onto their line without the wall being breached which was a small win for them.

On the other hand it was a reality check for the blood merchants who had expected to topple the elites by this point in the war , but they did not anticipate the elites to be so resilient that after a day of war they made no progress at all.

Scar-face took the lesson positively and he decided to give Rudra credit where credit was due and seriously plan the action for day 2 in these 9 hours after having a meeting with all generals.

It was abundantly clear to him that breaching the north end where Rudra was leading the charge was difficult , however they needed to analyse the weakest part of the city defence and charge through there .

Their initial plan of toppling all four sides was no good and reality came knocking on them . They expected the elites to be weak and wanted to storm the city from all sides , sucking the life out of the defensive forces in a nightmare of a siege .

However scar-face knew that Rudra was crafty and such a situation was no longer possible. It was better to be more pragmatic and take a practical approach.

Addressing the war council he said " I admit that today we had a bad day at the field. Many soldiers died and our war machines were burnt down.

The enemy had unexpected cards in their pocket and Chuck had to lose his life to the three dragons ganging up on him.

Chuck's loss hurts us all deeply as he was a pillar of our organization , but we have to learn from his death and make sure that more of us don't follow suit.

This is war , and deaths happen in war!

The enemy is better than we expected , but they have no practical chance of winning. They have hell to face tonight and Tommorow would be even worse.

Let's get one thing clear here

Tommorow the wall will fall! ".

The council concurred on this speculation as they had gauged the depth of the elites and they knew that with the right tactics they would make a breakthrough .

However it all depended on how the night passed out , as before the next day of war , there was still a sleepless night for the Elite forces

******

( The Elite camp )

Rudra returned to the Elite camp and started to go over today's war report and damage estimation.

Apparently the loss of lives was still acceptable on their side while they annihilated a fair bit of enemy forces , however the expected usage of arrows was atleast triple what it should have been putting the Elite forces in a serious shortage of weaponry in the coming day.

The armour that the enemy was wearing was super effective and the arrow consumption to gun down a enemy using the ballistae had increased monumentally as a result.

All this caused the forges to run into hyperdrive as in these 9 short hours of rest , Fatty tried to churn out the necessary war supplies.

It was a pretty normal atmosphere around the Elite camp , the morale was solid and the soldiers did not seem too despirited by the army camping outside .

The wounded were being healed while the elders were just restoring their mental health to be prepared for the next days breifings with Rudra.

Everything seemed normal and Rudra did not suspect an enemy sneak attack due to the war contract . However , he was very wrong with this estimation , as an sinister enemy force was at work .

*****

( The dark shaman's pov)

The shaman was surrounded with large runes drawn on the ground who were being irrigated with the blood flow of freshly slaughtered slaves to create a channel for his next spell.

Not having absolute command over the dead , the shaman could not summon an undead army like necromancers , and he could not summon perfectly well demons as well .

All he could do was make a trade for human souls in exchange for a breed of monsters called Half-Deads.

These were trolls and orcs and the like that had been sacrificed to the shaman's in their clans for the shaman to not afflicate their tribes with curses and disease.

These monster forces were turned into undead after being sacrificed by the Shaman , turned into his loyal pets.

However the laws of middle earth were clearly defined and the dead could not freely roam this realm hence the shaman had to send them off into a special realm.

Over the last 50 years he had made an army of a million strong , however to summon them to an active battlefield he needed human souls to power the portal.

Using human blood as fuel for his runes and human souls harvested from the dead of the battlefield today , the shaman started his powerful summoning spell to open the gate of the portal and let his loyal army out.

The shaman was not a part of the blood merchant group and on this technicality , he did not fall within the terms of the war contract , making him free to attack Purplehaze city.

This was why Scar-face schemed to get Rudra to sign the war contract in the first place , because he wanted to have this hidden card up his sleeve and Rudra fell for his deciet .

It was a mistake that was going to prove to be very costly for the elites.
