MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master - Chapter 757

Rudra’s Swift victory raised red flags for demons throughout hell and Lucifer especially was on high alert.

Supply lines had been set up from the camp outside the village of no return till the town of gates, as the forces of death were spread out throughout this region taking control and building temporary residences.

Lucifer had already mobilized forces to the eastern front once it was confirmed that the army of death was moving from the eastern province , however recalling his forces from the north , west and south and then making them March down towards the east required time.

The closest response unit took a time of three days to reach the capital city while the last one’s arrived at day 7.

Lucifer restructured the defenses from the other regions and packed every single town and city that was yet to be conquered from the town of gates till the capital city with troops and heavy arms and started to evacuate citizens.

Just 2 weeks since the army of death began their operations in hell , Lucifer’s counterdefense was set up and from here on out every single battle was going to see millions of soldiers on both sides lose their lives.

The town of gates was seperated from the first major city , the ‘ city of whispers ‘ by 2 large villages. These two villages were set up parallelly to one another , seperated by only 25 killometers horizontal distance . This meant that attack on any one village would see reinforcements deployed quickly from the other village, which would outflank the attackers.

The two small villages would be needed to be taken down quickly and simultaneously for the army of death to gain a foothold to launch an attack on the city of whispers.

According to Rudra’s scouting , the city of whispers was currently housing 25 million demons and 130 tier 4 generals with one tier 5 demon commander.

This meant that the struggle for the city was going to be the start of the real fight for the army of death , while conquering the two villages without being flattened by the tier 4 generals and tier 5 commander in the city was a small challenge of its own.

Lucifer had very smartly retreated all tier 4 warriors from the two villages , leaving it to only weak tier 3 troops to defend . It was an obvious bait as the idea was to lure the army into the villages and give them a taste of peak tier 4 and 5 attacks .

***********

( War council room , the town of gates )

Hades sat at the head of the table , as the rest of his five commanders sat around him and discussed the coming war plans in this week’s war council.

The agenda was the capturing of the two small villages ahead and the responsibility to execute this mission correctly fell on the fifth demon commander Belphegor’s division.

After Rudra proved his proficiency in battle , his words started to become gospel within the war room . If initially his plans seemed to be too farfetched, now the other commanders had more confidence in it because not only could Rudra make bold claims , but could also successfully back then up with action.

Hence eventhough Belphegor was in-charge of the attacking on the villages, it was still Rudra who called the shots.

Rudra said ” both villages need to be attacked simultaneously, there are about 150,000 soldiers stationed in both villages with 70% of them being tier 3 while the other are tier 1 and tier 2 weaklings.

For the demons to keep no tier 4 forces within their city is clear indication that they are baiting us into attacking their territory and must have some underhanded technique to make us pay.

I have senses unusual deposits of materials buried beneath the village grounds , however I’m not an alchemist and although i can see those materials i have no idea what do they do or if they are rigged explosives.

The village is defended using a tall and thick wooden wall , but it is nothing that a tier 3 attacker can’t chop down in two slashes , hence if we overwhelm the enemy with a ratio of 2:1 , we should technically be able to win this war quickly.

What bothers me however is the proximity of the villages to the city. The damned city of whispers is built on a much higher ground and a raised platform from the normal ground level , mostly to be safe against flooding of river Thames , but in this situation it gives it the higher ground to attack from the city walls towards the villages.

Only two killometers from the villages , the tier 4 and above generals in the city can take up long range assaulting on the attacking forces and should they launch tier 4 attacks our forces would see a route in no time”.

As Rudra laid down the facts the tension in the room seemed to be rising by a few notches. The next attack seemed to be a tricky one , however it was critical in the grand picture of things as capturing the city of whispers was one of the most important agenda of this war campaign and to get there the villages needed to be neutralized first .

Finally Belphegor said ” Let me send in 15 tier 4 generals from my end alongside a standing army of one million. I think that should be enough to route the villages as well as provide enough security against tier 4 attacks that are launched from distance “.

Hades looked around the room to see any opposition to Belphegor’s suggestion , and seeing none he passed the plan of action.

Belphegor’s unit was to move out to attack in 2 days.
