Chapter 611 Backfoot
There was no way to sugarcoat things , once the tier 3 and tier 4 forces joined the fray the elites were forced on the backfoot.
Rudra knew that the elites forces lacked quality compared to the enemy , however he did not understand the severity of the situation until he faced it firsthand.
The tier 3 forces on the side of the blood merchants tore through the Elite ranks like they were made of paper , and even with the golems tanking a lot of damage and giving the elites a fighting chance , it was clear that the momentum was with the enemy forces.
This was the exact reason why Rudra only kept the winning possibility at a whopping low of 30% as he understood that not only were the elites outnumbered , they were outclassed as well.
If the roles were reversed , if the blood merchants only had 3 million troops and the elites had 10 million , even then the blood merchants would have a 30% chance of victory because their troops were of a higher callibre.
A single tier 3 player was worth a dozens of tier 2 played and that fact was undeniable.
The elites aside , any single kingdom on the nothern continent would face trouble while fighting the blood merchant army as the forces they possessed were just that formidable.
Rudra was a one man wrecking crew and he alone accounted for nearly 10% of the kill count on the nothern battlefield when he was just 1 /500,000 soldiers fighting there.
This meant that Rudra alone had a kill count that equalled 50,000 soldiers which gave a new meaning to the term one man army and this also being his damage ratio without pushing himself too hard.
Naturally the blood merchants observed this fact as well as at first there was one tier 4 general that engaged in combat with him , before all 3 of them being embroiled in a fight with Rudra as it became clear that one-on-one they were all no match for Rudra .
This came as a huge confidence blow to the blood merchant generals as they had never felt so weak against any opponent after ascending to tier 4 . However against Rudra they were hardstrapped for their dignity.
Siegebreaker in one hand and grim reapor in another , Rudra was unstoppable as even 3vs1 he had the upper hand and was producing a steady stream of damage on his opponents.
Rudra was still not completely comfortable in his new class the death knight as the increased speed and strength were hard to control in a natural battle as he often was a microsecond too early , or his attack was delivered with a bit too much force making his next action a little more harder to perform.
Compared to the complete mastery he had when he was at the peak of tier 3 , Rudra's performance had dipped a little , however even so he was quickly adapting to his new power level as there was visible progress in his fighting pattern.
Rudra had a lack of proper fighting opponents in the months leading to the war as the strongest opponent he fought in this time was Patricia , who also was no match against him in a one vs one fight.
Only now when facing 3 tier 4 opponents at once did Rudra feel like his engine was running at 70% capacity as he had to genuinely try to win the fight and create openings to exploit.
While it looked like a normal fight to Rudra , for a third person in tier 2 the fight was impossible to follow.
There were shockwaves going out everywhere and all they could see was a blur of movements having no idea on who was damaging who and how.
The fighting was so intense that both sides avoided the 4 big dogs as a 200 meter circle was formed around their fighting area , as nobody wanted to die from a stray energy blast as a result of high level fighting.
Rudra had decided to stick to the basics in this fight , and did not bring out any of his big moves or class specific moves , but instead took full advantage of his existing arsenal of skills with whom he was aquainted with.
He used the Lich's ring and produced darkness bind , before using three point stab to deal critical damage to one of the 3 generals fighting him.
The generals health instantly dropped from dark green to a bright red , as he suffered bleeding damage from being stabbed at three of his vitals.
Buckling down the man was on his knees .
The other two generals instantly responded and forced Rudra to retreat with a flurry of attacks the intention being to stop Rudra from going for the kill , but as they approached Rudra they saw a sinister smile spread on his face.
The two generals had fallen for his trap!
Using blink , Rudra teleported behind the tier 4 general on his knees before using solar beam to blast his body to smithereens.
" NOOOOOOOOO ". The other two screamed , but they could do nothing but watch in horror as their friend died right before their eyes , as anger and fear became evident in their eyes now that they had to face Rudra 2 vs 1.
The situation was not ideal for them at all , however while Rudra was coming ontop of his fight with the tier 4 generals the same could not be said about his forces fighting the blood merchant forces.
The elite lines had visibly thinned down and the situation looked grim for the survivors , at the rate the elites were dying Rudra calculated that it would be 3 hours at best before the 500,000 soldiers observed a complete wipe which was a huge issue.
Cursing his badluck Rudra pressed onto the other tier 4 generals as he wanted to end the fight with them quick before thinking of a solution to save his own forces . But little did he know that if the north front was in such a dire situation , the west one was near complete annihilation.
