Rudra asked one thing from Jhonny , which was that if things looked difficult in the fight against Mazikeen for Emperor Cervantez , then he must help the emperor and change the tide of the battle.
Rudra was familiar with Jhonny's unique skill. And in a fight with tier 5 powerhouses where even a single breath could kill someone like him. He could only entrust the job to Jhonny who had the ability to hang in there.
For the rest of the Elites they had the same goal as Rudra , to defend their city at all costs. The severity of the war was only understood by everyone when a sea of players assembled outside the north ,east and west gates of Purplehaze city , 5 million on each sides to make a total of 15 million troops.
The army not only consisted of players but also paladins from the church of light , the Hazelgroove Royal forces and the various military divisions.
The reserve troops behind the wall numbered nearly 5 million and Rudra manned the wall with a total of 500,000 numerical strength , combined with his personal city forces , the elves and the elites.
The total strength of the Hazelgroove forces was nearly 22 million . With a few special divisions and about a million being led personally by Patricia . The number seemed incredibly impressive on paper , but it still paled in comparison to the forces of darkness who gathered at equal numbers along these three fronts.
Everywhere where the eye could see , one could only see seas of humans , clad in armour , waiting to fight the fight of their lives.
Amongst the sea of players there were also some cameramen and recorders who wanted to capture the footage of this incredible event , and stream it live for the world to see.
This was the first time Rudra actually saw the use of flags with the Hazelgroove kingdom sigil being brought out , and the use of flagbearers to signal where the line of troops actually were.
This was a concept Rudra always found funny untill now seeing the massive battlefield and swarms of people he understood the importance of having these flags.
This war was going to be chaos , and for once Rudra was not the protagonist of the event. The protagonist was undoubtedly Emperor Cervantez , who walked out to the nothern side of the battlefield , his regal clothes concealing his golden armour as he walked with an aura of dominance.
At the very front of the battlefield he put on his helmet and stared down in the distance where normal humans below tier 4 could not see anything except a dense jungle.
But those who had the supernatural vision understood that he was staring down at Mazikeen , who was glaring right back at the Emperor. Ready to pounce on him any moment.
Unlike Cervantez who wanted to fight one vs one against Mazikeen , Mazikeen wanted to bring all her 25 tier 4 generals to help her take down Cervantez as she understood that the emperor's fall would mean the fall of the army.
But the real reason why she was not at the forefront of the battlefield was because she was waiting to open the fight with a bang! Lucifer's eye was being constructed deep inside enemy lines. Waiting to be completed to pulverize the front half of the Hazelgroove army without the fight even starting .
Only mere moments remained before the greatest war of all time started .

( Meanwhile somewhere 60 kms away from Purplehaze city )
A massive army of undead was marching towards Purplehaze city , ghouls , death knights , durahals , zombies and even elder lich were seen in a army of massive size.
Leading the army was the exiled prince of Hazelgroove , aman . His once bright face was now barely having any skin as rotten stench emitted from his body.
He was having a focused look as he rode a bone dragon taking to the skies. Behind him was a massive army of wyvers in the sky . The entire forest was covered with the undead who were expected to reach Purplehaze city in just above two hours.
This was a force that the Purplehaze city was not expecting . The southern side was unguarded and the entire focus of the war was on the other three fronts.
Is Aman a ally ? Is he back to help Lucifer? , Or is he back for his own motives Noone knows , the two way war just saw a third party being introduced into the mix . But both the initial sides were none the wiser.
The difficulty of the war that had not yet fully started , increased by another notch .

( On the walls of Purplehaze city )
Rudra looked at the sprawling fields of men , and then thought about the legacy of Augustus Won Knight. The one secret that Patricia had revealed to Rudra , for which purpose Rudra tried to gain as much recognition as he could from the war against the triads .
The secret that overshadowed all secrets . The ancestral power of the won knights. The true meaning behind the explosion artist class.
However the only problem was the fact that he had signed a pact with Gaia , and should he use his abilities in this war then Gaia would not let him go according to the pact.
If he lost the war and Purplehaze city lost everything he would still be in an equally bad position.
Being placed between a rock and a hard place , Rudra could only hope that the cards he had would be enough to win this war.
