Chapter 219: The winners (1/2)

There was an incredible celebratory atmosphere at the guild hall. Barrels of booze had been brought over and the NPC soldiers , guild members and even the elves were partying with the others.

Those who had died in the war had rejoined the guild mates after reviving , and they were the one's who were most thrilled about the victory. Especially those who died when the guild was still behind in terms of points , hence they wanted to hear about all the details and the epic action.

When Karna walked in to the joyous atmosphere he could not help but smile ..... He always knew that Rudra would pull through. Hence the moment he saw Rudra , he launched into a bear hug to meet the guy .

Rudra too did not shy away , as he understood the sentiment. While for others this war was a great victory for the guild , for Rudra and Karna they knew that they had very obvious flaws that they had to work on .

Karna had contemplated a lot about his death at the hands of edge , Karna was a very prideful man , and he knew that he let his emotions get the best of him in the moment.

He needs to be more rational , and he needs to work on his skills more. He is not invincible and he needs to start behaving that way. Also he needs to realize that he is a vice guild master first and an assaulter for the guild second. His role is not just to slay more enemies but to lead the guild. He needs to think twice before jumping before enemies.

All of this Karna swore to improve upon , he had matured a lot from this experience and he would use it as a fuel for his growth.

For Rudra the lesson was to not rely on plan A , and to have a plan B , C , D and fu***** Z plan ready .

Also if even Plan Z fails , he needs to not panick and think about a plan that's out of the box. More rational , and more decisive is what he needs to be.

However in this moment , he and Karna could be said to be truly happy , as the guild was now the damn overlords of Purplehaze City.

The exact mechanics about being a managing guild of a city was not clearly mentioned , but Rudra knew that it meant that pretty much everything was under their control.

If they blackflagged a player , that player could never enter Purplehaze city legally , if they try to illegally infiltrate the city and get caught , it would be a 7 day prison minimum , and could go upto 30 days.

Also the guilds were authorized to make their own military unit to mentain security. Not more than 8% of total city population. However for Purplehaze city that had more than 30 million residents , the 8% number translated into a 240,000 soldiers!

It was by no means a small number , and no guild could hope to remain calmly in Purplehaze if they provoked the Elites.

Hence Rudra knew , that for the coming year the guild would face no more guild wars , and untill the countdown for city wars was not lifted one year for now , there would be no territorial conflict either.

This was a time for rapid growth and consolidation , the time to become soo strong that when the VR Olympics open , they could make an impact on the world stage.

It was also a time to mint money while managing the city. The next system auction would be continent wide , and would need a lot of money to bid for the top items.

The biggest change that Rudra wished to bring was that he no longer wished to be a leader of a small guild.

Numbers was the biggest problem with the True Elites , and their low numbers had them rely on tricks time and time again. Hence he wanted to increase the numbers of the guild , significantly!

Although he would not expand it to the scale of 300,000 members or so , he wanted to at least expand to 20,000 main guild members , 5000 lifestyle members and 2000 logistics and intelligence members.
