Chapter 810 Turn Of Events
A dazed Neatwit was borderline crying when Jhonny caught him in the net and offered him a MAX HP potion for his red health.
Neatwit said " S-sir Jhonny? "
Jhonny said " It's alright lad , all part of Shakuni boys plan , heal up the real battle is yet to start ".
Neatwit was a little shocked to see the army around him as an unprecedented determined look replaced his sullen expression.
Jhonny asked " How many are left on that side? "
Neatwit looked down and spoke with anger " I- i was the last one , it's only the guildmaster now.
My HP was at 3% , i had to jump or i would have died ... I saw vice guildmaster die and guildmaster is being clobbered by their demon general and what looks like a burnt SMG that traitor.
I did not want to run sir Jhonny , but it was flee or death for me, I'm ashamed ".
Jhonny raised an eyebrow, Karna and Rudra were two of the most talented boys he knew , if they were being beat up then the enemy must have been very strong .
Neatwit asked " Let's go back and help the guildmaster... He can't beat the both of them alone .... "
The other tier 4 generals who had to flee in disgrace felt powered up too as they looked at Jhonny and pleaded
" Yes , let's go help the guildmaster ! We will show the demons what we have really got when we are serious! "
All eyes were on Jhonny the final decision rested on him.
Jhonny looked to the skies and said " You know kids , if a single one amongst you here think that even with 10 of the best warriors in the guild to help you , you can take on the guildmaster in a fight , raise your hands for me ".
Jhonny looked around and scanned the crowd and just as he had expected not a single hand was raised.
Jhonny smiled and continued " Since when have we started to doubt the guildmaster? I know to you all it seemed like you had to flee in shame , however it was his foresight and his plan all along.
Even when you don't understand his plans , in the end everything follows his plan".
Jhonny paused for a solid 20 seconds before continuing , " The sky shall fall before your guildmaster dies in a battle , even if the entire demon army charges at him alone ... He shall walk right by their corpses!
So stop worrying about the guildmaster and start worrying about the task he assigned to you ! If you really want to help him , then conquer the city he assigned you to conquer!
Show me your spirits , show me your shame in retreating , if you really want to prove a point , then come conquer Sivanthe's city before sundown .
ONWARD MARCH! ".
Jhonny reassured the entire army as he fired them up to conquer Sivanthe's city , as millions after millions of troops entered the sewers with a high morale and a steeled resolve to prove their worths.
Entering last , Jhonny looked towards Rudra's side of the battle one last time and murmured " Don't you die on this old man boy " as he walked into the sewer.

( The mining crew , Max's POV )
800,000 miners ran away after it became apparent that the army of death walked into a hopeless ambush and the project was no longer viable for completion.
However Max and a few 200,000 miners remained at the spot debating as to what to do next.
" Guys we need to fight , only cowards run away from battlefields, and i am not a coward ".
" Look at that legion man it's all tier 3 and 4 , we are absolutely no match! It's suicidal ".
" Then we die trying! We have dug these trenches , we can hold from here and shoot arrows at the enemy or something, all of us must have a pack of bow and arrow in the bag ".
" Yes ofcourse every gamer keeps one until they reach tier 3 , i think it's a good idea ".
" WHAT? , I don't have an bow and arrow , I'm a swordsman, that's retarded ".
" I'm a knight , and i have now and arrows "
,m " Then you are not a knight , you are a joke! "
" Heyy! Take that back! "
Max watched all the chaos unfold as he started to think along the lines of what could be done , or more like what would his brother do in this situation and then it hit him.
Max shouted " HEY GUYS , SHUTTUP ! , I HAVE A PLAN ".
Everyone calmed down as they looked at Max, suddenly Max had the attention of thousands of troops .
Max continued " The logistics gave us one bomb each , we were supposed to detonate them when we wanted to connect one pannel to another in the end to complete the water channel , so here is what we can do!
Let's make mines , quickly dig small holes in the earth and put the bombs inside. Those of us who have the bows and arrows can fight from the trenches , those of us that donot can lead the enemy into the minefield as we blow them up .
When they are disoriented and weakened the swordsmen kill them and the archers cover .
We will most likely still die , but we will damn well take a hell lot of demon bas***** with us ".
Max did not realise it , but he naturally copied Rudra's accent and way of speaking in this speach , it was not a conscious copy but a subconscious one and it totally worked.
Everyone seemed to weigh Max's plan and were beyond impressed as they said
" Yeah man let's do it "
" Let's go "
" I know you , you brought the map to the city ! The lowkey kid! "
" Niceone lowkey kid "
Max blushed a little from all the appreciation, however now was not the time to blush as he said " Alright , let's Go! Go! Go! ".
The digging crew sprang into action as they quickly started to create the minefield and fortifying their trenches.
