Chapter 764 The plan
" Okay , here is the plan .... " Rudra said as he gathered everyone's attention.Everyone more or less knew that it would be upto Rudra in the end to come up with a proper plan , as Belphegor had basically completely given up on thinking in the first place and was only patiently waiting for Rudra's turn to speak.
" We will need all 5 legions to take part in this war and we will need to expend our weaker tier 1 and 2 forces as bait , plain and simple.
The task of bringing down the wall is my first legions responsibility, while charging in and taking care of the pope and the tier 4 generals posing a threat to my division would be the responsibility of the other four legions.
I need you guys to bring the fight to them like you have never brought a fight to the enemy and absolutely clear an opening big enough for atleast 25-30 million of our troops to be able to move freely in the city.
As to how I'm going to bring the wall down is none of your concern, what you four need to focus on now is how you will capitalise on that opening and wipe 20 districs in a matter of 3 hours for our armies to take hold of 50% of the city and set up defense lines.
We are 5 tier 5 commanders and they have only 2 , me taking care of the demonic one leaves you to deal with only ONE . Failure here on your part is not an option , the structural integrity of the city is utterly useless , so blast them buildings down if you have to but NO MATTER WHAT i want 50% control of the city once the walls crumple , do you guys understand? ".
Rudra's aura exploded unconsciously as he got worked up about the coming fight. He had a vision in mind such that they could win this fight with minimal losses , but to make that vision a success he needed to trust the other four commanders to do their jobs as he could not pull this one off alone.
Rudra was utterly disgusted by the demon commanders strength in Belphegor's army as their sheer incompetence was revolting. Rudra demanded a certain level of competence from his forces and counted on them as such. For him to have to meddle in the fight for the villages was a shame on Belphegor's legion as the 10 of them should have been more than enough to kill the tier 3 defendants of the villages with no effort , yet they choked.
Under such circumstances no matter how Rudra made a plan , if his forces were not competent enough to follow them there was nothing he could do about it.
His elites could not take down the entire hell alone , and he could only expend his own forces so much in each fight.
He was already taking the most herculean task of bringing the wall down on himself and his division and the least the other four legions could do was give him a clean sweep.
The main difference in an open war and an city war was the presence of defensively mounted structures and walls.
It was the wall that allowed numbers advantage to be neutralized, as scaling a wall was difficult, while shooting down a wall was advantageous. The elites understood this advantage better than anyone else as it was the wall of Purplehaze city that had time and time again took the lives of hundereds of millions of troops over the years.
However if the wall crumpled the most major advantage of the defending forces was eliminated and from then on storming a city was much easier.
But bringing a triple reinforced 100 feet tall wall , manned by uncountable tier 3 and hundereds of tier 4 generals was easier said than done , which was why Rudra was this aggresive about the others making the most of the chance he was about to create.
" Don't worry , the second legion will not dissapoint " Asmodeus reassured
" The third legion is upto the task "
" The fourth legion is upto the task"
" The fifth legion is at the first commanders command "
All the commanders reassured Rudra as they too understood the importance of the opening that Rudra was to provide them with.
Talking about a few more specifics , Rudra ended the war council as he rushed out to meet with his boys to talk about the real strategy.
In the end , it was only the elites that he could truly count on when things got hard. Especially his one fatty bestfriend from his childhood who was a bloody genius when it came to making Trump cards for the guild.

( Meanwhile on the dark faction end of the city of whispers )
When the players finally read Rudra's post on the forums , Panic ensued as everyone had mixed reactions to the content.
Some beleived that it was fake and Rudra's attempt to rattle the dark faction players up , while some beleived it to be true and panicked at their stupidity for jumping into a portal without thinking about the repercussions of the jump.
The most panicked were the tier 4 players of the dark faction who had much more to loose than the normal tier 1 and 2 weaklings.
The ones that were supposed to show the most spine in the face of such extraordinary circumstances were the ones to shy away first , as after chaos ensued in the camp a Wiseman decided to test the authenticity of the situation by killing a tier 1 human.
The dark faction player was convinced that Rudra was lying and was paid 2 million dollars in compensation for his valiant attempt , as he was stabbed multiple times in the gut and killed in hell.
When his body did not disintegrate as it did after a few seconds of a players death , the others started to panic thinking the worst as Rudra's words descended hauntingly on them.
When the killed man was forced out of the game permanently and regretfully wrote a message on the human internet that was later conveyed by other players in-game in a matter of 3 hours , all hell broke loose inside the hell side camp of humans.
