( The war council room )
Rudra had to call for an ergency war council regarding the recent developnts of the reinforcents joining in as he broke down the grim news to the other commanders.
Rudra had scanned the city of whispers and what bothered him the most was the tier 4 generals present within the city as they numbered nearly a whopping 200.
This was about the sa number as the total tier 4 forces the army of death had in total and in a one vs one confrontation the losses on the side of the army of death would be unbearable compared to the defending forces.
Even if the army managed to route the city should it co at the cost of losing 40-60% of their tier 4 generals it would essentially incapacitate the whole campaign ahead as the remaining generals would not be enough to take down much more challenging cities ahead.
Lucifer was banned from the middle realm and the upper realm , he hence needed to expend much more energy compared to Hades to open a portal into the middle realm as his mana was opposed by several angels and goddesses.
Under such circumstances for Lucifer to have ntained a portal big enough to call for such reinforcents showed that he was getting desperate.
Although Rudra was just guessing , his guess was indeed spot on as the price Lucifer had paid to summon these troops was indeed astronomical , as the damage to his body from overstraining was so severe that the devil was currently bed ridden.
The reinforcents was not sothing that Rudra had anticipated, however he understood a core concept regarding the reinforcents that the troops themselves did not seem to grasp.
The death of the reinforcents in hell was going to be permanent . They were still humans in hell and without a church of darkness within the domain of hell that was powered with the arrays of rebirth from the divinity of Lucifer himself , the respawn option was going to be unavailable.
Unfortunately for the human reinforcents this was indeed the scenario and most dumb humans who had jumped at the opportunity of war in hell did not seem to realise this brutal reality.
This ant that Rudra was in a moral peril as to what to do with these people as him wiping out the city effectively spelled permanent death for 5 million players from Oga.
Not only would this endeavour impair them from growing stronger before the first awakening, but this would also an that Rudra was going to be the one who was going to deny them of their second lives as adventurers in Oga.
However there was no getting around it for him either. Although most humans did not know the faction that earth was going to join upon the first awakening and the criteria for selection , Rudra understood that should he not win in this war , it would an that earth would beco a dark faction planet where only strength would rule supre.
Wanting to save billions from such a fate and the future generations of earth too , if Rudra had to sacrifice the gaming careers of 5 million people he was willing to do so for the greater good.
Nonetheless he decided to give a fair warning to the dark faction players beforehand as he posted the following ssage on the forums " My earthen brothers of the dark faction who have ventured into the depths of hell without thinking twice about your lives , i implore you to make sure wether or not you have a respawn option available upon death.
I donot wish to end your gaming careers with a permanent death inside hell , however if push cos to shove , i will kill you all personally.
Under such circumstances, disengaging might be a wise choice ".
This ssage was posted under his na and instantly sparked a lot of debate on the forums. However the ongoing discussions were no longer any of Rudra's concern , he had done his duty by giving the fair warning that the dark faction players deserved , from here on all his focus was on the fighting strategy.
The biggest challenge in attacking the city of whispers was that it was near impossible to outflank the city.
There was only the nothern front from where the city was attackable as on the west it had the raging river Thas , on the south it had the wild beast territory and on the east it had steep cliffs into the endless abyss.
This ant that the defense effort of the city could be concentrated into just one front and on that end it had 100 feet tall walls that were triple reinforced with only one small iron gate for entry .
It was a strategically built city that was ant to be impregnable , the city got its na from the whispers of the dead legions that had fallen at its gates.
21 legions had tried to storm the city over the last two centuries , yet none had successfully taken the city . It was the strongold on this side of the river Thas and a herculean challenge for Rudra to overco.
Since nobody spoke anything, it was Hades that broke the awkward silence as he said " Although this is a difficult challenge for you commanders to overco , you must fight this fight alone.
I need to conserve my strength to fight Lucifer and cannot exert myself more than necessary ".
Hades had raised his hands from this fight and instantly Asmodeus's face looked like it lost all color as he was just about to suggest Hades opening a path for the army to attack with his imnse strength, but his proposal seed to be shot down before he ever made it.
Rudra however was not shocked at all , he was not worried about not receiving the god of deaths help as he had never counted on it in the first place.
This was a challenging task and it was forcing Rudra to use his creative brain cells and think out of the box , and out of the box did he think as an evil grin spread on his face.
Rudra said " Alright listen up , this is how we are going to approach it .... "
