( 3 days later , the day of the March )
Rudra was strapping his armour on alongside Karna and the atmosphere between the two friends/brothers was a little bit tense.
" So you are breaking the news today?" Karna asked with a solemn voice
Rudra nodded as he said " It's time ".
Karna knew this day was coming, however he wanted to delay it for as long as possible, but it seemed like Rudra had made up his mind and today was going to be the very last time he would fight under guildmaster Rudra in a war.
Karna said " Alright then , I'll go on ahead and assemble the guild members , you take your time and come out when you are ready ".
Rudra absent mindedly strapped his Sariel's boots tightly as he thought about the speech he was about to make.
Finally putting on his king's helmet with both the Excalibur and the Grim reaper in the scabbards by his waist , Rudra walked out to meet the first legion a.k.a his guildmembers for the customary pre-war speech.
As Rudra walked out to the small stage that was made , he saw that all the elders were already present on the stage and Karna had began warming and pumping the crowd up. Hence when Rudra finally made an appearance the crowd erupted into deafening cheers and whistles as their beloved guildmaster finally took the stage.
Karna looked at Rudra and gave him a firm nod as he left the centre of the stage and dropped back with the elders as he gave Rudra space to talk.
Rudra spread his wings and his arms as he took the centre of the stage and with the voice amplification of the king's helmet on he said with passion " ELITES! ARE YOU READY TO SLAY THE DEVIL? ".
Karna felt goosebumps arise on his skin when he heard Rudra's voice. There was some magic about how he carried himself , some charm that was merged with his image and his very being that could rile the guild up with the smallest of sentences.
Naturally the guild responded electrically to their guildmasters question as they cheered and said " YES!!! ".
Rudra raised his head and assessed the crowd , this was a battle hardened unit the best in the world and having gone through the thick and thin of lots of battles it was the most composed and confident unit in the army of death.
Rudra said " Aye , once this war is over , our elite legion will be called god slayers! ".
Rudra painted the picture of the ultimate glory , the title of being godslayers.
" When i started this guild , we had only 200 members . Only 200 yet we brought one of the powerhouses of Purplehaze city , the orange rock guild to its knees!
So what did they do next? They ran to their alliance , a group of 7 first rank guilds who wanted to dominate Purplehaze city , but we did what?
THE ELITES DESTROYED THE ALLIANCE AND BECAME MASTERS OF PURPLEHAZE CITY!
But not just Purplehaze city , we also took over the entire Nineclouds kingdom and made it the True Elites Kingdom, NOW THE ENTIRE WORLD FEARS THE ELITE NAME.
NOT ONE , I REPEAT NOT EVEN A SINGLE ONE , IS A STRONGER FACTION THAN OUR GUILD IN THE MIDLE REALM .
NOT ONE!
but your guildmaster is crazy and conquering one realm is not enough. So he marched his army into hell and now he wants to slay the devil himself.
SO WHO IS WITH HIM? ".
Rudra's question was met with a deafening roar that was so loud that even the earth started to rumble , everyone shouted that they were with him and the atmosphere in the camp reached a boiling point.
" Under my leadership we have not lost a single war yet.
I saw a news interview of our guildmember once and he was asked a very interesting question once ....
He was asked what is an elite?
And he replied and i quote ' Elite is an individual who is undefeated, indomitable and immortal '.
So i say the elites is a guild of undefeated champions , indomitable guild members and immortal fighting spirit.
But my tenure as the leader of this group of miraculous men is now coming to its end.
This is it boys , my last war with you all as your guildmaster ".
Silence ...
Pindrop silence ....
Nodbody could beleive what they were hearing right now , what did the guildmaster mean this was his last war with them? Is he leaving the guild? He can't do that can he?
Even the elders looked confused as they looked towards each other , this was the first time they were hearing of this decision by Rudra.
Rudra continued " After this war , i will resign as the guildmaster of the True Elites guild and vice guildmaster Karna will step up as the guildmaster.
Don't worry guys , I'm not leaving the guild but i won't be the guildmaster either ".
Sadness , confusion and anger were rising in the hearts of the guildmembers, they did not want their beloved guildmaster who they worshipped as a god to step down .
Rudra however took advantage of this very atmosphere as he said " I had a dream when i started this guild , to make it the best in the world and i have achieved it.
You all have made me the strongest guild master in this world and in return i have given my all to this guild , and for all of you ".
Rudra paused for a long time and enjoyed the silence as he ended his speech by saying " If you guys truly think i have done a good job in my tenure for ten years as your guildmaster then i ask this one last thing from you.
Today when we March into battle , show me WHY we are the strongest guild in the world.
SHOW ME WHY WE ARE UNDEFEATABLE .
SHOW ME WHY WE HAVE NEVER LOST A SINGLE WAR TOGETHER.
SHOW ME THE STRENGTH THAT THIS MIRACLE GUILD HAS , THE BOND BETWEEN EVERY ELITE AND THE INDOMITABLE SPIRIT THAT CAN EVEN SLAY GOD'S.
It's one last dance boys , let me retire with honor and with the privilege to witness this guild in its prime glory.
On 3 ... Together one last time
1...2....3....
One for all
All for one
Go elites go! ".
Rudra spoke as the entire crowd screamed at the top of their lungs. Some men were crying , some men were suppressing their tears however through all the men there was one burning Passion which was common and that was the will to show the guildmaster the prime war fighting of this miracle guild one last time.
A performance that will terrorize the demon race for a millenium to come , and will immortalize the elite name.
