MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master-Novel
Chapter 611 Suffering LossesChapter 611 Suffering Losses
( Dronacharya's POV )
Dronacharya's mind started to work in hyperdrive as all the worst case scenarios began to pop up in his head , including the possibility that the elites had gotten their hands over the most coveted weapon of the past timeline . The handheld pulse cannon!
It was the greatest Equalizer , as with the golems to tank the damage and handheld cannon soldiers as the damage dealers , even tier 1 soldiers could have tier 3 capability as the result of any war could be easily altered.
This was an extremely scary thought for dronacharya who had bet all his life savings and months of his time and effort into helping the blood merchants take down the True Elites Kingdom and become it's new king.
While becoming a king was reward enough , Dronacharya knew that unlike Rudra he would not have the support from Hazelgroove Empire and other jealous parties who had their sights set at the outcome of this war and were ready to pounce at the first sign of weakness.
The only way to realistically remain in power was only by these two hidden weapons. The handheld pulse cannon and the clay golems that could neutralize any opposing forces.
However while dronacharya saw the clay golems , there was an absence of the handheld pulse cannon that made him question if the elites had truly explored the ruins to it's fullest potential.
At the moment he had 3 theories in his mind :
1) The elites did not explore the ancient ruins and obtained the clay golemns through another means.
2)The elites obtained the Clay Golems but did not explore the ancient ruins to their full potential and maybe missed the hidden room holding the prints for the handheld pulse cannon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt3) The elites did get their hands over the handheld pulse cannons but did not understand how to produce it's complex fuel core and did not have the production capacity to mass produce the item .
As it had barely been 3 months since the auction and the elites obtaining the key , dronacharya knew that the elites would have had 2 months at maximum to prepare the production of weapons at best.
However with the elites having no idea about the impending war , in dronacharya's opinion there was no urgency for the elites to understand and mass produce the weapons . Which was the reason why they were not present on the battlefield at the moment.
Figuring all this out , Dronacharya was sharp minded for sure , however he was not as sharp as Rudra !
As the point where dronacharya's reasoning ended was where Shakuni's scheming started.
To dronacharya it was unconcievable that the elites would be in possession of the weapon and not reveal it . Afterall , with the potential of saving thousands of lives while routing enemy forces , it was the best option !
However Rudra thought differently , as for him the game was more about long term than an individual fighting session.
And this difference in mentality was exactly why Rudra was successful as a regressor but dronacharya was not.
*****
( Rudra's POV )
Rudra saw the advancing tier 2 legion and just like he anticipated the choice of formation had changed from a flat approach that could maximize arrow damage to a trident approach , having three pronged attack .
It was not a bad strategy at all per se , however it was clear to Rudra that the advancing party was only a quick probe before the real party started .
The activity on the nothern side was also lesser than he anticipated with there being only around a million soldiers advancing his way with the majority being tier 2.
This meant that his assumption that the enemy would pick one end to attack was correct , however at the moment he lacked the information as to what end the enemy had exactly decided to exploit and he did not have the time to worry about it either.
As the fight for day 2 started , the clay golems started to show their worth early on , as not only did they have magic runes inscripted on their bodies that made it impossible to ignore them with all ranged attacks being redirected to their body.
Having HP of over a billion , the mud golems were literally worth a hundered thousand soldiers , and their presence gave the Elite damage dealers a lot of freedom to engage the enemy troops.
As expected , in the first hour of daylight the elites were the dominant force with there being very few casualties on their side but the enemy troops losing four times the numbers.
However things changed quickly , as on hour 2 the tier 4 forces finally started to roll out onto the battlefields.
On the nothern front , three tier 4 generals had decided to enter the fray , alongside atleast a 100,000 tier 3 captains unde their wing.
With him sending all the tier 4 forces from the church and the empire to the other 3 fronts , Rudra was on his own when dealing with these opponents while also having the responsibility to rally the troops on the nothern end.
With them entering the tide of the war changed quickly , as losses quickly started to mount on the Elite end , as Rudra the protector of the nothern front knew that sh** was about to get real.
