Chapter 152 - Situation Getting Out Of Hand

( Hazelgroove kingdom , PurpleHaze city )

The city was in chaos , if viewed from a high point , or a tower , one could see various fires burning over the cityscape , smoke rised from burnt government buildings as the streets were stained with blood.

It was a cruel sight to watch that could wrench the heart of those who were weak willed. The inner district had regained order as the royal guards had slaughtered their way to the inner city walls . Order was restored inside the inner city as a martial law was annouced for the residents of inner district.

Naturally the law did not apply to Rudra who was a duke of the kingdom and a bishop of the church. He waltzed in and out of the inner district as if it was his backyard , as the guards bowed in respect .

A major event had occured as a result of his actions in killing alliance members . There was a rebellion inside the guild as members refused to go on patroll duty.

The alliance was loosing 100K gold an hour on compensations. Over the last 72 hours the guild had expended over 72 million gold just in compensations alone , and they were tight on cash now.

The alliance declared a shortage of funds and reduced the compensation from 5--> 2 gold per death in duty.

This was the last straw that made the common members pull out of the missions , why should they loose levels , time , and equipment in controlling riots .... What for ???? 2 gold ? Hell no!

The aldready low morale made the rebellion gain momentum as more and more members abandoned their posts and patrol duties.

A rebellion party was formed that demanded that if the guild wanted them to work again , thet needed to accede to three conditions.

1) 6 gold compensations per death .

2) The alliance deals with the masked devil

3) the guild pays for repairing equipment.

A sudden pullout of nearly 70 thousand guild members caused the others to be overwhelmed and slaughtered , as 11 out of the 18 sectors being monitored by the alliance spiralled out of control .

The alliance faced a major crisis at hand. As an emergency meeting was called up to discuss the issue.

----

( Alliance meeting , AzureLotus guild headquarters )

The six alliance leaders had grim faces sitting in the meeting ..... Emperor Aman was furious at their incompetency as he gave them an ultimatum of 24 hours to regain control , as after that he would roullout the Royal guards to regain control of the capital.

The emperor clearly stated that unless they regained control of the 11 sectors , they could absoluteley forget about the rewards ... They will even make an enemy they could not afford.

The emperor's cold verdict scared them , as the revised quest was brutal. They had to make tough choices here and now.

" STUPID , STUPID rebels , how dare they disobey our commands , they are pawns in our hands , how dare they show resistance .... If we tell them to die , they die! Whats this nonsense about compensations ! ". Scorpio seethed.

Yua sighed as she said " Thats not how it works , guild leader scorpio and you know it , we have each invested close to 12 million gold into this project , should we fail now then the gold and the sacrifices of the guild members will all go down the drain ".

Every guild leader cursed under their breath , the situation was truly bad , they had burned a hole through their finances to hold the fort for three days , but with the rebellion their efforts went down the drain , as regaining control over the 11 sectors , now was an herculean task ".

RealManchester guild leader spoke " Even if we for a moment decide to accede to their demand number one and three about the monetary compensations and the equipment repairs , how are we going to deal with the masked devil? ".

Everyone cursed

Scorpio was very vocal about the issue as he said " THE FU***** TRUE ELITES , Always being a thorn by our side .... I swear i will crush that guild into obliteration soon ! ".

The members seethed .... But the reality of the situation was , Rudra was too strong for them , and they were not his match. He randomly came , he slaughtered and he left.

There was no tracking his moments , there was just praying , that he dint show up.

They had no way of dealing with the masked devil !

PinkLotus said " Him being a bishop of the Church , makes him a difficult target to take on. Honestly i dont even know how he became a bishop , well the paladins wont even give me a second glance at the church much less a quest to get inside their good books .... Becoming a bishop is not something i can even imagine ".

The curses in the guild hall became even louder

The guild leader of True Manchester said " Its not that he is just the bishop , he is also a very high ranking nobility according to our research. Having a huge NPC army to call upon . He is the most troublesome elite i have seen yet , even more than their monstrous leader Shakuni ".

Everyone sighed as they brainstormed ideas to deal with the troublesome man . Finally they came up with a childish provocation tactic to tackle the issue.

The alliance issued a statement that they accept the rebellions requests .

This cheered many rebells up , their rebellion was a success. They were ready to keep their words and spring back into action for the guild.

To the issue of the masked devil , the alliance issued an official statement saying " To the coward who hides behind a mask and attacks distracted patrollers , if you are a man , the alliance challenges you to fight one vs one with their finest experts. Six fights , one champion from each guild !

In the outer district in an empty open ground , coordinates. 12.34.76.89.30 in 6 hours time .

COME IF YOU DARE ".

This open challenge was posted on the forums and instantly became viral ..... It was the most shared post and became the top post within 10 minutes.

Every adventurer inside the PurpleHaze city felt exited at the prospect of this fight. As the forums went ballistic on speculation.

Will he be there? Does he dare accept?

What shall the masked devil do?
