Chapter 165 - War (5)
( The war arena , virtual world )
Rhino and Cola were the leaders of the tankers division inside the game . And they were the only two who were not assigned to any pillars to blow up , their jobs was to hold the enemy , as much as possible.
And it was by no means an easy job at all as currently there were about 20 thousand alliance members swarming the fort , with all 10 archers aldready killed and the archballistae's destroyed.
Although the number seemed massive , realistically with their backs being covered against a wall , there were only about 5-6 enemies that could attack them at any given moment , just that even after killing those 5 or six enemies , other 5 would replace them at a seconds notice , meaning that they needed to face and endless swarm of enemies and hold out for as long as they could.
Rudra was also present as he danced his way through hordes and hordes of enemies , elven sword slicing enemies left and right as if they were made of butter.
He was not overwhelmed by the massive force , as he slowly but surely retreated towards the southern side of the fort , drawing in as many enemies as he could.
3 minutes in , all the tankers were still alive albeit many had aldready taken close to 50% damage in their hp bar . Cola and Rhino , faring a little better at 65% health.
Even Rudra himself found his health chipped a little as he sat on 94% HP , however it dint bother him , as his goal was started to be realized.
In the face of such overwhelming odds , the tanks did not budge a single inch as the elite tankers held their ground strong and proud , defensive skills were used left and right. As their superior armour and shields helped them minimize the damage they took.
4 minutes in , less than 20% of their HP was remaining , but close to 75 thousand had entered the fort , their job was close to completion. However they had not heard the sounds of cannon firing yet , they could not self explode yet , they needed to hold on a bit more!
Beachboy along with his Elite guard finally made it through the wall , as he tried to act heroic as he lead his troops to victory.
He looked at the fort , and found a pitifully low amount of Elites struggling for their lives , he found nothing odd about it as he thought that majority of them had been slayed , this was a good thing as he would have smelled the trap otherwise.
He looked around as he finally found Rudra , and thats where he redirected his guard , towards Rudra.
Even Rudra was at the southernmost wall at this point as he was desperately waiting for SMG's cannon fire before he could use blink and get out of the fort.
He saw Beachboy enter the area and instantly he felt panicked , if beachboy noticed the lack of Elites inside the fort he would understand that something was amiss , however to his delight he seemed clueless.
' Thankgod for stupid people ' Rudra thought as he continued his gruelling fight against the swarm of soldiers.
Pinklotus also entered the fort?soon after Beachboy , and started to scan the area ..... She looked at the few Elite tankers desperately struggling , but found it odd that the other assaulters were not visible.
She instantly thought about how the Elites had absolutely superior warriors like Neatwit and Karna , and how they would not fall before the tankers , something was amiss here .
But before she could voice out her concers a loud BOOM ! Was heard .
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of 50 cannons firing could be heard.
Giant cannonballs hit the swarm of players trying to enter the fort , and a few even hit the nothern fort wall instantly collapsing the wall , burying many alliance members.
SMG was finally here!
The ship was here and the cannons were fired!
Rounds were reloaded and within 10 seconds , the second volley arrived.
The alliance members turned towards the river to see a massive ship floating downstream , its cannons pointing towards them , the large grey wolf design as its mast. The True Elites flag rising high on the ship.
The ship also had 4 archballistae fitted , as swarms of arrows also graced the alliance members who tried to approach the ship!
Scorpio was dumbfounded seeing the size of the ship , as he cursed under his breath " WTF IS THAT THING , WHY DO THE ELITES HAVE IT? ".
was the question on the millions of viewers minds worldwide , a new variable had suddenly been introduced in the war.
Rudra smiled , the timing was perfect , 30 seconds later and the plan would have gotten infinitely more difficult.
The tanks sighed in relief , they had less than 10% Hp remaining , and would have failed to hold out long enough if SMG was any later , but to their joy they carried out their parts beautifully , the guild wont loose the war because the tank division failed its job!
They were proud as a big smile plastered their face " FOR THE GUILD ". They shouted as the first bomb went off !
BOOM!?Quickly followed by bomb 2-7 as the fort started to crumple.?Cola and Rhino had a big smile on their faces as the phase two had succeded , their tanks did them proud.
Rudra instantly blinked , and teleported to the beach about 40 meters away from the southern walll as Fatty kalash blew up the entire waterbombs stash in the basement.
BOOOM!?A massive explosion that shook the entire war arena occured , the explosion reaching 30 meters in height. Debris flying into the sky , along with burnt bodies of alliance members.
Scorpio and the other 3 guild leaders watched in horror as half their army died inside that fort.
In a shocking move that noone saw coming , the elites blew up the fort , burying somewhere north of 85 thousand alliance members! Along with guild leaders Beachboy and PinkLotus!
