Chapter 166: war(6) (1/2)
There were only 50,000 Alliance members left alive after the fort collapsed!
This happened because close to 85,000 alliance members died with the explosion of the fort. The archballistae's had an kill rate of 150 and about 20 were injured per minute , they ran for close to an hour , and there were ten such archballistae's , making the total deathcount under the arrows to be close to 90,000. Also an aditional 12,000 had been injured.
Also under the assault of Medivh , the bombs , the archballistae's mounted on the pirate ship , the cannons fired , the arrows shot manually by Elite guild members , and the members that died under the swords and shields of the tanks , the final death toll came around 25,000 troops.
The massive army of 2,50,000 had been reduced to 50,000. The collapse of the fort was a masterstroke that noone saw coming.
Around the world , people were stunned by the massive fort blowing up , killing a third of the alliance army with it.
The viewership number of the war became the highest viewed event in the history of Grey entertainment , as 457 million people were watching the stream live!
The streaming service seeing a lifetime high single day subscription count of 120 million new subscribers. Just throughout the duration of the war event. And boy o boy did it deliver far beyond all expectations , beyond what anyone predicted , the Elites were countering all odds to absolutely outmanoeuvr the alliance , wiping more than 2/3rd of their force.
Only about 50 thousand members left standing , and to everyone around the world , this was a feat worthy of being labelled as a stroke of brilliant genius and Rudra as a masterstrstegist never seen before. However the creator of the plan , Rudra , had an ugly expression on his face.
According to his calculations , only when the number of the alliance members was brought at under 10,000 was he completely confident of victory, him only expecting 25 thousand alive after the fort collapsed , but the 50 thousand standing was a bucket of cold water poured on him.
About 15 thousand of the 50 thousand left alive were injured. However many of them were quickly regaining HP under the healing of the priests and basic Hp regeneration potions.
Even the Elites had losses on their sides , close to 100 Elites were dead , these included the 9 tanks , 10 archers and about 80 lifestyle players.
While it never came to it. But Rudra assigned the entire lifestyle division , after building the wall and mounting the archballistae's. To go to the basement where the bombs were located and protect it with their lives.
While rest of the combat troops escaped to the south beach using the secret passage , the lifestyle guild stayed. They built a wall after the last player Medivh crossed the passage to the beach and stayed in the basement to guard it at all costs.
Should even a single player breach the area , they were given explicit orders by Rudra to blow the structure up.
While many labell the lifestyle professions weak and useless in combat. It was not the case in the True Elites , in this guild where everyone matters , even the lifestyle members contribute to the guilds strength, ready to die before letting the enemy pass.
Fatty kalash had indeed raised a batch of loyal and guild centric players just like himself.
