Chapter 528 A majestic fight
The royal courtiers were right on their money when they scrutinized Rudra's forces to have the capability to defeat the five tier 4 existances within the Nineclouds royal forces, one of them being the king , as the elites were indeed having a hard time dealing with the royal forces inside the city , even with overwhelming crowd support.
The plan was simple for the elites , as Rudra had already made a countermeasure for killing these five men , as all the elders had to do was to somehow fulfill the plan and follow through on the instructions given by Rudra.
SMG , Neatwit , Karna , Medivh and Jhonny were all facing one tier 4 enemy each as they were luring them without causing suspicion towards the Whitecloud city church of light , as Rudra's plan would only work once , and everyone of them had to be present there together.
Rudra had planted all of his newly explosives below the church's surface as he had been long praying to the godess of life for the sin he was about to commit. As he had mock acted long and hard infront of her statue in Purplehaze as he cried and called the Nineclouds ruler evil , and how he had no choice but to follow through with this plan.
This was all done to stop a fire before it started , as Rudra was preparing to avoid the wrath of the goddess , should he be punished for blowing up a temple of hers.
Wether it worked or not Rudra had no idea , however , in Omega where the gods were very much real , stuff like blowing up their temples had to be taken very seriously , because it may lead to irreversible consequences.
However Rudra needed this act , as only with the help of relegion would he be able to successfully win the hearts of the masses as he could label the incident as divine wrath , and it could be sealed and sweeped .
Also his authority as the honorary Archbishop made anyone interfering with his work even from within the church very difficult , unless it was the pope himself.
However the pope owed him a favour and if worse came to worst , it would be his get out of trouble card.
However using that would be a criminal wastage of a precious opportunity , and as far as possible Rudra did not want to use it here.
However none of that would ever matter if the Elite elders were unable to gather the four generals and the king under the same roof of the church , at the same time and it was no easy task to be able to do so.
Firstly they were all engaged in combat at different parts of the city , as they slowly retreated towards the church in a coordinated movement , as the Elite members on the rooftops ran interference and told the elders to increase or decrease their pace of retreat to make it in time.
The fight was intense , with not even a second to loose focus for the elders , as their HP could potentially be depleted to 0 in a single moment of carelessness.
Even though they did manage to avoid critical injuries , they did need to heal every 2 minutes or so , as whenever their HP went below 40% , the Elite members on standby were instructed to swarm the enemy at once and buy time for the elder to heal .
This process went on for 20 minutes untill everyone was only 500 meters out of the temple , and was required to make the last dash.
For the last dash , tanks from the Elites main guild and the Russian mafia blocked the path of the chasing tier 4 existances by the thousands , as the tier 3 elders rushed inside the temple to seek shelter.
However for the trap to be effective , they needed to create the illusion of being cornered , as their HP was dropped to 20% as all of them said the same thing before retreating which was " Oh , no my potions , they are empty. I need to rush back inside the church and activate the barrier for my safety! ".
All of the elders said the same dailogue at the same time in their own way as they showed their exposed back to the enemy as they ran towards the church .
Karna who was the most battered by fighting the king , also shouted when he almost reached the church gates to " Activate the barrier .... NOW DO IT! ".
As panick was evident in his voice , which made the king use his grand move to get rid off the army of tanks blocking his path as he tried to rush behind karna before he was able to pull up the barrier.
When a pink barrier slowly showed itself before the tier 4 existances that were still battling the tanks , they all too used their grand moves to rush towards the church before the barrier closed , as they unconsciously rushed towards their own deaths.
The climb of the barrier to isolate the church was slow , However it was designed to be so , as everyone needed to make it inside for the plan to work , and it went exactly as it was meant to , as the five tier 4 warriors were gathered inside an barriered church , as they faced the five Elite elders who were down to red HP bars.
" It's over rebel" , said the king as he was surprised to see his best generals all being beside him at the same time.
As the smiles on the faces of the Elites even when cornered in such a bad position started to gnaw his heart.
A bad premonition rose inside his gut as he looked around the place , as he realized that he had potentially walked into a trap. However he was too late now ... As Karna looked him in the eye and said " it's over indeed ".
BOOM!
