Back at Purplehaze city , Rudra was the most worried he had been since reincarnating. The situation was grim , he had no information on enemy strength , and had to go in the biggest fight for the survival of the nation blind.
Rudra knew that defending the wall was going to be tough , if he had enough time he would want to create many makeshift barricades and blockades to make tactical retreats in the city possible.
Holding the wall was going to be tough , and Rudra had to be prepared for the worst , however with less than 16 hours till the war started , there was only soo much that he could do.
All this made Rudra extremely anxious as this was not his way of fighting . He was a thorough planner and someone who would carefully control every aspect of a war to direct it in a manner that he wanted. However this time around he needed to only trust his team and himself for the fight .
The positive side of things was that the Elves sent a lot of help , and soo did the church of light. Combined the two parties sent nearly 2 million troops as reinforcements , 70% of it being from the church of light , including 10 tier 4 paladins. This was just great news for Hazelgroove kingdom , as it was much needed support for the country.
If there was one faction that hated the forces of darkness more than the Hazelgroove kingdom it would be the church or light. Sparing no costs to fight against their arch enemy , they sent maximum support to the Kingdom.
The help reassured Rudra that they had atleast a sliver of a chance to win this fight , the emperor had assigned the elven division to co-operate with Rudra to help in the defence of the city . Hence Rudra was supposed to meet the Elven commander Robin today.
Robin was the only tier 4 general deployed by the Elven forces to help Hazelgroove kingdom , and he had 6 tier 3 Lieutenant's under him , including Legolas . With a familiar face in the crowd Rudra began the meeting with Robin discussing about the upcoming war.
The person most shocked to see Rudra was Legolas , as the last time they had met Rudra was not his opponent at all , but the aura about him right now was that of someone wayy stronger than Legolas a tier 3 archer. This both impressed Legolas and gave him a sense of fear from Rudra whose growth rate was just abnormal.
Robin was also extremely courteous with Rudra even though he was a tier 4 general and someone with more influence than Rudra . That was because Rudra was extremely famous in the elven kingdom . Helping the kingdom and having legendary exploits at fort Magma , he was seen as a rising hero of humanity.
Rudra and Robin basically agreed on the general strategy of the war , which was to use the sturdy walls as their cover to only engage with range , with the help of the Elven division they could easily decimate hundereds of thousands every 10 minutes should the fight be between the ideal range of 100-300 meters from the wall.
However what Robin disagreed with Rudra on was the strategy where Rudra wanted to fight on the front lines should the infantry soldiers crumble.
Robin could not understand Rudra's fears that the 5 million strong army that was supposed to fight outside the walls of the city could fall in a matter of minutes. That's not possible unless Lucifer himself descends on the battlefield. Which he cannot.
Rudra also knew that maybe he was being overcautious here , but he still told Robin that if the worse came to the worst , the Elites will defend the walls untill their last breath. That he would die before he let the fight spill into his city.
If the worst came to pass , Rudra was prepared to even call in for the help of the dragons , although it would be his absolute last resort .
Rudra naturally did not inform the Elven forces about the true capabilities of the mage tower , as it was a core secret of the guild. The Elites already had massive scrutiny from the Hazelgroove kingdom players for not revealing the secrets behind their weaponry , to aid in the coming war.
Especially the mage tower , the 60 storey tall eye catching structure , but Rudra absolutely did not care about that , the whole world could go take a piss but he was never spilling the secrets to that structure.
Even if it meant that the world labelled the Elites as ' selfish ' and ' arrogant ' he would rather be selfish than a moron who caves under pressure and give up the things that made his guild unique , only to improove public opinion.

( Meanwhile in village of Thol )
" Rose died? " Mazikeen said as she frowned , the loss of a tier 4 Succubus was a huge loss for any force. However Mazikeen frowned not at the loss , but at the fact that what kind of troops did the Hazelgroove kingdom send to be able to not only kill her scouts but even the tier 4 general she dispatched.
The enemy was extremely capable it seemed , and if that was the case then she should rethink her plan of attack. Having 24.1 million troops of which 2 million were tier 0 , 12 million were tier 1 , and nearly ten million more were tier 2. With over 2000 tier 3 captains and 26 tier 4 generals at her side , her human resource was incredible. Along with the eye of Lucifer the forces of darkness boasted an incredibly strong force strength.
Having lost Rose though her tier 4 general force shrank down to 25 , which was by no means a small number , but a loss of a demigod was still huge.
This war had to be a Victory for Mazikeen as she was ready to do everything it took to win . Not wanting to take any risks , Mazikeen contacted an old friend for a favour he owed her.
She contacted the king of mutated dragons , and had him agree to send 5 tier 4 mutated netherfire dragons.
These dragons breathed nether fire and dwelled within the first layer of hell , contaminated with the dark energy . They were the natural predators or anything that had the energy of life inside it . As they hated the light.
With these beasts at her disposal , Mazikeen was finally ready to take the fight to Purplehaze city !
With less than 10 hours till the war started , the final push was being made , the production of supplies began its final phase as a few hours later the forces would have to roll out , assemble and take formation.
The war against the forces of darkness was upon Hazelgroove kingdom , and it was sure to be the largest one in the history of Omega yet.
