20 days passed by in a Jiff and there was finally news from the Elite spies planted in the rcenary group the ' Sigma Boys'. That the troops were finally starting to be mobilized on their camp , there were orders by the higher ups to prepare for a long ' Sepcial Event '. For which almost the entire organization was mobilized.
The plan was to et up at a predetermined location with the blood rchant army and group together before properly strategizing about the war.
Dronacharya had no idea that he was continuously being monitored by Alia , as a lot of information about the blood rchant army beca available to the Elites which would have been otherwise completely inaccessible.
Although not every Trump card was revealed , Alia did figure out that the blood rchants had potent cannons capable of breaking through reinforced concrete and this was a piece of information that the Elites were made aware of.
Rudra was calr now than he was a month ago about the war situation , however in his heart he knew that the chances of an Elite victory were not more than 30% .
This was the first war where he had prepared for the coming battle for months now , yet he had the lowest confidence of actually winning.
This being the overall situation even after the Elites did everything in their power to level the playing field. However the disparity between the quality of the army and the sheer nurical strength was too much to be bridged by petty tricks.
The enemy had much more tier 2 forces and much more tier 3 forces compared to the Elite camp and that was a fundantal disadvantage that the Elites could never make up for.
As even if the tier 2 players on the elites camp could take out 5 of the enemies tier 2 players. In the end if only a few thousand of the enemy tier 2 players survived without any defending forces left on the Elites side , then no matter how many tier 1 or 0 troops the elites may have left , it all ca down to nothing , as that was a fight that could not be won with numbers.
The sa went for the tier 4 troops on the enemy side , as at the mont , Rudra was the only one shouldering the burden of taking them all out.
Maybe if Karna and Neatwit worked together they could match a tier 4 powerhouse , but the war typically ca down to the leader of the Elites to hold down the fort.
Rudra was the key to the Elites success now more than ever , which was the only reason why that he did not start building the church of death and embark on the mission given by Hades. As he did not want to make such a public declaration and make his association with the god of death be known before the start of the war.
Everything was calculated calmly on Rudra's end and he knew that although the fight was not completely hopeless and at 30% the Elites did have a fair chance to win , the most likely outco was a failure.
The war was on a scale that there were too many variables and too many sub battlefields to think about , that would all contribute towards the overall victory of the war and the sad part was that Rudra could not be on every battlefield physically present to ensure that every battle was won.
It was upto the elders to make sure that the Elite army was able to get through these battles , and it was upto them to make spur of the mont decisions incase the battleplan went south.
***
Once the news about the enemy army mobilizing ca , Rudra decided to shut off the city under the guise of special Preparations for the coming event , as over the next few days he started welcoming the requested forces from the Church Of Light and the Hazelgroove Empire.
Rudra was happy to see that both the Church Of Light and the Hazelgroove Empire took his request for help seriously as combined together , the aid consisted of 6 million troops , of which 2 million were tier 1 and 1.5 million were tier 2 soldiers. With around 100,000 tier 3 warriors and a total of 30 tier 4 generals.
With these troops added , the Elite camp now boasted a strength of nearly 10 million strong , exactly a third of the enemy number , however the quality of the army was vastly different.
Nonetheless this was better than the support that Rudra anticipated and he was happy for it. Unfortunately neither Patricia nor Emperor Cervantez graced him with their war presence , as having any one of those two would have been a major ga changer.
Rudra knew for sure that should things go extrely south , and Rudra lost control over the city of Purplehaze , Emperor Cervantez might step in and save his vassal , but until then his personal presence was highly unlikely.
In the trying tis , Ethan did manage to convince Lita and the Russians to lend a helping hand as Lita sent about 500,000 n as reinforcents to the Elite camp , a help that was greatly appreciated by Rudra.
According to their arrangent , Rudra did help Lita to gain a foothold in Aquahose kingdom , where she currently controlled 1 city , 4 towns and 17 villages. However the further expansion of territory needed ti and resources , however the triads were happy with what they had at the mont.
However at the sa ti , the most likely invasion route for the enemy towards Purplehaze city did happen to make way through Aquahose kingdom itself , as while Lita did not send more reinforcents , she promised to make things difficult for the marching army as she would not let them freely pass through towards Purplehaze city .
This was the biggest help that any third party could have offered the Elites as it was exactly what rudra needed the most at the mont.
By choosing to fight for an ally , Lita was essentially picking a fight with an enemy for no benefit at all , and it was a favour that Rudra would never forget.

( anwhile at the dark shaman's hut )
" So are you sure this item belongs to Shakuni ? ". The Dark Shaman asked with a gruff voice.
" Yes , we are positive ". Replied the blood rchant warrior .
" Hmm , how did you obtain it ? ". The shaman asked as he clenched the pieces of the broken elven sword in his hand.
" Our spies are constantly monitoring everyone who goes in and out of the Elites Headquarters . One such man made a trip to the dawrven city of Dwargon where he entrusted the guild leaders broken sword to a master forger for reforging. We stole it from the shop ". Replied the blood rchant .
" Good ... Good ...good , a bound weapon , excellent dium for the curse , hahahhehehehehehehe ". The shaman laughed as the blood rchant got the creeps.
Bringing the broken swords blade to his tongue , the shaman put a scar across his tongue as green blood dripped from the cut.
" What power ... Delicious ". Said the Shaman , impressed by the elven blade and it's past wielder.
Dronacharya had repeatedly expressed his concerns over how Rudra was the heart and soul of the Elite organization and how removing him was akin to defeating half of the Elite army. Hence scar-face made a personal request to the shaman to curse Rudra.
The paynt for this request was the bag of human hearts given to the shaman fresh by the blood rchants , however while the blood rchants were cruel , they still could not stand the pure evil of the shaman.
Using dark magic like it was risk free , the shaman was a psycho who could not be offended in any circumstances and now he was about to prepare a death curse to neutralize Rudra far before the war started.
The goal was to render Rudra into a comatose state , and for that a personal item of the victim was needed.
Now that the Shaman got his hands over the broken elven sword , he had the necessary ans to deliver the curse to Rudra , as he prepared the ritual.
Unlike Lucifer who could put curses on his enemies as easily as he could breathe , the shaman needed much more effort to curse a target and also needed to fulfill many conditions , however his curses were much more nefarious and difficult to deal with .
The power of his dark magic ca from combining the dark practice of bloodmancer with dark magic and necromancy to form a sort of evil practice that gained him the title of the shaman .
His deeds so evil , he was banished from the dark faction areas to live his life in the light faction territories where he would be a fugitive forever , the shaman was forced to live in a secluded but in a secluded forest , however the blood rchants had offered him a way out.
Toppling the True Elites Kingdom , the blood rchants vowed to make it a dark faction territory where the shaman was revered like a god , which was the ambition for the shaman to pick sides in this war.
Hence he took the job of cursing Rudra extrely seriously as he started the cursing ritual.
In a large black pot , a disgusting purple color mixture was boiling at extrely high temperatures as the shaman chanted and added various types of human and animal blood into the mixture chanting vile sounding words.
" Beniogre the sl** who sleeps with every man she cos across , may her unholy c**t be used by every eunuch to create blasphemous children .... May those children born be cursed by the world and may those children loose their will to live and that broken will to life be transmitted upon the owner of this sword , may he enter a deep sleep hearing the curses of the unsatisfied n in this world indefinitely ... ". Said the Shaman as he threw Rudra's elven sword inside the pot .
