Chapter 804 Things Going South  

Rudra assessed the threat and realised that the most pressing issue right now was the damn chariot heading their way with two very powerful tier 5 creatures onboard.

What baffled him though was the enemy's response to their attack. Having ships at the ready , an unreasonably strong unit stationed at a small village and the number one commander of the enemy forces at the ready for such a trivial March?

It did not seem right at all , although it could have been preplanned preventive measure , however Rudra had surveyed the area just 6 hours before the attack and these forces were not present at these locations then , which meant that they were mobilized under the cover of the night just the dawn before the attack was launched , which meant that they had accurate information about the timing of the attack and the exact spot where the attack was going to happen to mount such an impressive defense.

The number one demon commander was called Darius , he was rumored to be at the peak of tier 5 and an unstoppable force of nature second only to Lucifer himself amongst the demon army.

Darius looked at Rudra's forcefield locking in the sonic boomand said " How cute … "

Unsheathing his sword he unleashed an overhead slash and destroyed the field of gravity in half !

Rudra's eyes widened in shock as he had not expected a physical attack to be able to alter an intangible law such as gravity but it did!The sword attack unleashed by Darius was laced with the laws of space and was able to disrupt even a gravity field as a result.

Hence the sonic noise contained within the field started to leak and the result was that within 10 second the deafening noise ended and the demon soldiers were able to hear normally again.

The eyes of the tier 2 soldiers grew sharper and although they were still cannon fodder to Rudra's army they lasted a bit longer now and managed to land a few scratches here and there before they died as opposed to the sloppy fighting style they had before.

Rudra assessed the situation quickly and understood in a fraction of a second that they needed to retreat now before it was too late as if the enemies were allowed to get their way then it would result in a complete route for the elite army.

The problem now was that he wanted to shout the retreat orders right at this moment however more than 80% of his troops still did not realise that the forcefield outside was broken and that they did not need the noise cancellation earphones anymore.

It was like Rudra 's own scheme turned into a death-trap for his forces as while he kept shouting at the top of his lungs " ALL MEN RETREAT ! RETREAT! RETREAT ! "

Only a few of them listened and the rest kept pressing on.

Rudra looked to his left and saw that the ships had almost reached the area where the troops were stationed and he realised that it those 1000 ships were allowed to have their way then it would be a blow of 3-7 million troops easy for the army of death and they needed to be stopped anyhow.

Looking at Karna Rudra said " You need to stop those ships anyhow ! Karna please! "

Karna saw the panic in Rudra's eyes , which was a first for him. Usually Rudra was always in control of any situation and even with the odds stacked against him he was always able to find a way out , however this time around he looked worried as if he did not have an answer to all these problems.

" Don't worry guildmaster, even over my deadbody , not a single ship shall pass " Karna reassured Rudra and without a second question he jumped into the raging river Thames as he summoned his pet kraken and towered over the waterbody with a massive giant under his feet , swords drawn ready to fight the flood of ships coming his way.

Rudra looked at Neatwit and said " Spread the message , take them damn earphones off and start to fall back ! Fall back ! Now! Now! "action

Rudra did not realise it but he had started to stay stuff double times because of the Panic he was having . While the others were blind to his reason of panic as they did not have his vision , he himself could see the bigger picture.

As it stood , Rudra was facing the route of 60 million troops under his wing , a blow so devastating that it would cripple the entire army of death and cost the lives of 100 tier 4 generals.

The only hope was retreat and the only way to retreat was for Rudra to gather the troops before the enemy pressed in and open up the river to run back.

It was a taxing job even without Rudra having to focus on anything else , however at this moment two tier 5 demons landed infront of him and Rudra immediately realised that the two of them had no intention to afford him any of the time that he wanted.

Darius smiled as he said " My my , look at the face of the greatest mastermind , the brilliant strategist Shakuni of the elites ?

What happened? Where is that egoistic smirk and the legendary confidence i have heard so much about ?

Why is it so pale today? Is it because you know you are facing me? Or is it because of my friend here ….. the half demon half human abomination that you used to call elder S.M.G!"

SMG glared at Rudra with his bloodshot eyes and let his half torn tongue hangout as drool dripped from his face.

He looked nothing like the man Rudra remembered him to be a few days ago and had transformed into an utterly hideous creature.

However Rudra felt alarmed looking at the creature as while it's appearance was hideous his eyes painted a more clear picture ,which was that the man was higher levelled and more powerful than he was at the moment , which effectively meant that he was facing two tier 5 opponents who were stronger than him at the same time.
