Chapter 160 - War(1)
Finally the day of the war arrived , all that could be prepared had been prepared , and knowing the sheer scale of the event , various media outlets had bribed players on both sides to stream Live content.
From the true elites's side , Ethan himself requested Rudra to livestream straight from his POV in the war. Rudra would have hesitated or even outright rejected the idea if there was a possibility that his plans may be leaked due to livestreaming.
However inside the war arena all incoming messages were disabled , even within party members , information had to be relayed through runes or the old school way of shouting the commands.
Structure and relay of commands was extremely important in wars. And only because he was sure that no information could be leaked to the enemy , he decided to accept the livestream request from Ethan Grey.
One of Ethans many companies was Grey entertainment , which had many channels and subscription services . And Rudra's exclusive stream on their channel was sure to drive sales through the roof.
------
( 5 minutes before the war. The Elites HQ )
Rudra started the livestream within the Elite guild hall , facing him were all the true elites guild members . The main guild and the lifestyle members alike , as everyone had a part to play in the war.
There was nervousness and exitement in the air , everyone was impatient for the war to start , the Five minutes of waiting time felt like an eternity.
Rudra looked at his guild , pride filling his chest , every single member , even the non combat ones were covered in gold grade armour or above.
Millions watching the scene were also in awe of the Elites wealth ... The scene of 500 or so members covered in top notch equipment awed all viewers.
Rudra then raised his hand for silence as he began his war speach .... He said " The war ahead is going to be a tough one , i wont insult you guys by asking you wether you are ready or not? Weather you can give your 100% for the guild or not? Wether you can execute your roles to the best of your abilities in the war or not? ... Because if even a single answer is a no... Then we have aldready lost the war ! ".
Everyone had a determined look on their faces , they did not need a motivational talk from the leader , their dedication to the guild needed no motivation. They looked fired up , they were ready for war!
Karna looked at the members , as the countdown hit 15 seconds he shouted loudly " ONE FOR ALL , ALL FOR ONE ".
And every single guild member shouted " GO ELITES GO !! ".
The countdown hit zero and they were all transported to the chosen field of defense , the Fort Knox!
-----
( The war battlefield the Fort Knox! )
Everyone was teleported to the battlefield , the defenders the Elites spawned inside the fort , whereas the attackers the Alliance spawned inside the nothern plains.
The alliance leaders were instantly dumbfounded when they teleported inside the war map ... This was not the forest! This was the Fort Knox map!
The 10 minute war timer started , and the Elites lifestyle had aldready started its work in reinforcing the entrances , through the reinforced brickwork.
While everyone else took the designated positions within the fort... Everyone exept Orochimaru , who looked lost .
Orochimaru's mind blanked when he found himself inside of Fort Knox and not a forest .... He looked around carefully , only to find that noone else was surprised and even began to work.
He couldnt process what was going on ... However everyone was giving him venemous looks in the guild , and Shakuni , Karna , Neatwit and SMG were surrounding him.
He was currently on a border wall , and retreating 5 meters more meant he would have an ugly fall down the wall for 30 meters or so.
Rudra walked with a smug smile on his face as he said " Orochimaru , ohh Orochimaru , you think you are soo smart , huh? Trying to infiltrate the guild ...leaking information to Mithun Ambani about the Elites ..... Well, well , well , Do you take us as fools who did not know your ploy? ".
Orochimaru was stunned , ' IMPOSSIBLE , IMPOSSIBLE , he knew it all from the start '. Was the only thoughts he had in his mind , but his mouth stuttered for words as the elders circled in on him , pushing him towards the edge.
Finally regaining some sense of speech he said " Impossible , you were supposed to choose the forest terrain , there was this huge guild meeting , i have proof i recorded everything ... Was it all a setup from the start? ".
Rudra just smiled a sinister laugh to confirm his thoughts
Orochimaru shrieked like a little boy terrified ..... If Rudra knew everything from the start , about his identity and his connection to the Ambani corporation , and still gave him all the benefits of the guild and even footed massive amounts of money for his purchases , only to lure him into a trap .... Then he was a master manipulator and a terrifying player of mind games .
" You .... You .... You FRAMED ME ! ". He shouted in anger
However suddenly he found a dagger in his abdomen , SMG had sneaked up on him , he was shocked , he was stabbed when distracted.
But when he looked up , he saw Rudra's sinister smile as he said " The Elites have no space for snakes like you ! ".
BOOM!
Rudra kicked him square on the jaw and sent him flying down the wall .
His thoughts as his HP rapidly drained from the dagger in his abdomen , nearing death , was only that his career was over , the Ambani corporation would never forgive him and how he was a fool to think that he was the smartest person in the Elite guild hall , whereas the reality was that compared to Shakuni , he was not even fit to lick his boots.
The chapter of Orochimaru the traitor ended with this kick forever!
He died from the fall down the wall and was teleported out of the war arena.
