Chapter 753 A town fight
Rudra scanned the town of gates Through his heaven's eyes once more to be thorough about the enemy situation and not walk into unexpected traps.The elites had made very fast progress uptil this point capturing the two villages , however this time around was undoubtedly going to be the big fight which would need peak concentration from the 30 involved.
Just like Purplehaze city , the town of gates was covered with a 40 meters high stone wall that had in-built openings for archers to shoot from and some special openings for mounted cannons.
It also had sandworms lurking around in the sand outside the town which meant that there were some beast tamers guarding the roads to the town which was going to be an useless fight.
Other than that , the town had about 650,000 inhabitants under tier 2 .
Had the goal been to obliterate the city , Rudra could have undertaken the knight of the emperor form and smashed through the city wall and the buildings inside solo , as he wiped the town off the face of the map of hell in under 1 hour.
However, the army of death needed the town intact for being a good residency and the walls undamaged for it to serve as a military camp. Under such circumstances Rudra could no longer run rampant over the town and annihilate it.
Rudra thought long and hard about it and then concluded that the best strategy to attack the town was to bypass the defenses of the wall and drop straight into the war-spots.
This was a strategy that endangered the lives of innocent demonkind , however that was the concern of the demon's defending the town and none of Rudra's headache.
His elites were not going to go out of their way to attack innocent demons , however any casualties happening in regards to untargetted attacks were not his problem.
Countless of his own countrymen had died due to the demon attack that Lucifer had launched into his city , and at that time the demons deliberately tried to harm innocent civilian life.
The code of war was breached by the demons first and hence Rudra did not feel obligated to show any mercy to them either.
Using gravity manipulation, he took the entire 30 men group to a 1 killometers height above the surface and easily bypassed the city walls and defenses undetected before dropping everyone down into their designated attackspots from a height of 100 meters.
The elites literally dropped from the sky onto spots where Rudra had scouted that the tier 4 generals were residing and with every Elite outnumbering their tier 4 counterpart 3:1 , a bloody fight soon started in the city without any warnings for the demons.
The scouts posted outside were dumbfounded and the demon beast tamers who were guarding the gates with their pets were rendered useless by Rudra's move as although they could use their pets inside the city , they could not do it unless they killed countless of their ownkind.
The major fighting broke out at 3 different parts of the city , and the majority of the forces posted on the walls did not understand where to respond for help , which made a mess of the reinforcements situation as nobody had any idea as to whom to go to first.
This was the first proper fight for the elites where they needed to stay sharp and focus , as although they outnumbered the tier 4 generals , under the constant support of the tier 3 soldiers and the swarm of tier 2 infantrymen it was still a very high paced fight with attacks flowing in from all sides.
Crowd control was a necessity for the elite generals to perform as big moves were dished out all across the town , killing many soldiers at once while also destroying some of civilian architecture.
The elites fought in a tight and compact formation with everyone knowing their role perfectly after having years of running dungeons together, as the cohesiveness of the unit made it impregnable even under intense pressure.
It was not at all easy for a bunch of 30 tier 4 individuals to capture such a well defended town posing several tier 4 defendants of its own. However the superior quality of the elite generals and their innate gaming acumen gave them the edge in the fight as although the struggle was bloody at first , they were progressively gaining the upper hand.
While the others struggled to kill the tier 4 generals , Rudra walked barehanded through the streets under his oppressive aura as he walked unhindered towards the townhall .
His goal was to claim the town token and kill the mayor residing inside to claim ownership of the town , and while a few tier 3 weaklings tried to block his path , just his gravity manipulation was enough to send them flying out of his way without him even having to lift a single finger.
When Rudra finally approached the townhall , he saw 15 cannons pointed at him as well as one plump lava hound blocking his path with one tier 4 beast tamer behind him , and one tier 4 demon beserker beside him alongside roughly 20-30,000 tier 3 archers and mages.
It was the best defense unit of the city , who was ready to stop any aggressors from approaching , however the fear in the eyes of the demons upon looking at the unarmed human was apparent , they could see him as the incarnation of death himself and their legs hence shuddered involuntarily.
" Unblock my path , or perish ". Rudra declared in a cold voice as he passed a verdict on the lives of the demons.
Some demons shrieked , some looked towards the tier 4 beserker to make the call.
The beserker said " Don't be too full of yourself human , we demons will never be bullied by your weak sunbathing race! It's a disgrace to our honor . Come if you dare , we shall die before we bow".
" Very well " Rudra said as he extended his right arm towards the demons and summoned a cute little golden eight- tailed beast from his pet space.
The eight- tailed beast yawned as it looked at the demon group and stretched it's limbs out nonchalantly .
Although it was no bigger than the size of Rudra 's forearm , the attack it was about to unleash was not something the demons could have ever imagined.
