Chapter 161: War (2) (1/2)
( The real world )
Ethan Grey was sitting in his private lounge. One of the finest whiskeys in the world in his hand , as he watched Rudra's livestream.
Today was a crutial day for Ethan as today was not only the Elites facing the Alliance , where he had a whopping 100 billion dollars on the line , but also the day where his hired team of world class mercenaries blew up Ambani's petroleum mine .
It was safe to say that Ethan Grey was a confident man , he would never drink to relieve stress , yet today his nerves were at the edge , it was a make or break day for him , as he would either come out the other side today as a tycoon who would expand his net worth by trillions , or someone who would have to lay low for a while, loosing large sums of money.
When Rudra kicked the snake Orochimaru after name dropping his connection with the Ambani's , Ethan felt a sense of satisfaction and releief , as he muttered under his breath ” **cking snakes !! ”.

( War arena , The alliance POV)
Beachboy of surfers united was livestreaming hence the world was watching the alliance leaders having an impromptu meeting regarding the change in the chosen terrain
Scorpio said ” The spy's information turned out to be useless , there is no f****** forest ! , Damn that idiot spy , our whole strategy is ruined , We have no way to tackle a fort siege , we have no ladders or wall climbers ”.
PinkLotus said ” Although what you are saying is true , not everything is as bad as it seems , i have seen previous battles in fort knox , it has two gates at East and North , the north gate is the biggest gate made of wood , our assaulters should be able to hack through the gate after a bit of struggle. We will loose some numbers , however thats not an issue is it? Once the gate crumbles , soo will the Elites ”.
TrueRhythm agreed to PinkLotus as he said ” I agree , this is not necessarily a better choice than the forest , the fort is a smaller area to defend and run , we can rest assured about the guirella warfare tactics , once the defenses of the fort are breached the war will end ”.
The alliance leaders had a logical discussion about what to do next , but time was running out , as the 10 minute preperation time was about to run out , they were yet to relay important information to the 2,50,000 strong army of theirs.
And as for now there was but one command , that was breach the gates and attack the fort.
The war timer hit the final 30s , and everyone became laser focused .... Victory or defeat , everything would be decided now.
Unbeknownst to them , an deadly assasin party of 20 lead by SMG had sneaked through the hidden gate and started to make his way upriver , unnoticed by the alliance army.
5....4....3....2...1... War starts!

( The true elites pov )
The war had started and everyone had taken battle positions , the task of handling the archballistae was left to the archers , whereas every lifestyle member and non wizards were given a bow and quiver of arrows.
A few people like Rudra and Karna chose the javellin , to strategically target enemies.
Just as the countdown hit zero , a sea of people started to charge from the nothern gate towards the fort.
