Chapter ?804 March Into Jaws Of Death
( The day of the March )
The first , fourth and fifth legions were mobilized together from their respective positions sharp at the crack of dawn at 5:00 am.
Nearly 60% of the army of death mobilized for Rudra's plan , brimming with confidence as they expected to be able to slay a lot of demons and gain a lot of glory.
Many humans had their recordings on , as the feed was being broadcasted on the forums with millions watching worldwide.
The fastest to move were the tier 4 generals , all of whom could cross the raging river Thames unimpeded as while most of them could cross the 100 meters wide river in one single leap , those who could not were also strong enough to swim to the other shore without the raging waters sweeping them away.
Nearly 60 tier 4 generals alongside Rudra himself crossed the river quickly and uptil this moment their intrusion was not detected , as they waited for the perfect moment for the patrol to pass-by for them to take them out.
The rest of the forces were at standby 2 killometers away from the river , waiting for the March orders.
It took 4 minutes for the first patrol unit to come near the generals and it consisted of 25 tier 3 soldiers.
Unfortunately for them they were killed from multiple angles at once before their eyes could even register the attacks coming.
The countdown was on now and the generals needed to rush into positions as with the patrol unit killed an alarm will be raised in approximately 15-20 minutes when the patrol unit does not report back at the next checkpost.
cO,m The generals naturally sprung into action , quickly hammering sonic noise machines and smell altering potions into the ground alongside some ground mines .
Rudra on the other hand used gravity manipulation to alter the gravity on the riverbed making a portion of the river arch leaving dry ground below for the soldiers to cross.
Rudra had tried to completely stop the flow of river once using gravity manipulation by making a sort of gravity wall , but he quickly realised that within 40 seconds the pressure on the wall by the river was too much for him to bear as his technique broke.
Making the arch was much easier on him as he was not opposing the flow of water but only diverting it.
The window of opportunity was hence created and the soldiers quickly got to work , they had 15-20 minutes to cross the river onto the other shore before the patrol arrived and the fight started.
For 15 minutes , soldiers ran like crazy as nearly 30 million troops crossed the river in that brief span of time however unfortunately for the elites the enemy responded very quickly as by minute 16 their response team was on the location and the alarms were raised.
The moment the alarms were raised the soldiers on the other side of the shore no longer entered the river waters and those already in it quickly rushed to the other side as Rudra lowered the river back into place and drank a Max mana potion and a Max stamina potion to replenish energy.
More and more demons arrived to engage with the attackers and an intense fight began at the open riverbed.
When about 10-15 million demon reinforcements reached the spot Rudra finally gave the green signal to start the explosions as the army put on the noise cancellation devices and let the explosions begin.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
CHIINNGGGGGG!
The potion bottles and the sonic effect creating devices burst into action as deafening noise covered the battlefield.
Rudra instantly activated his gravity field over the area so that the vibrations in the air would be confined and could not disperse anymore making the sonic noise confined to the region with an extended lifetime of atleast 6 more minutes.
While most of the soldiers engaged in active battle , about a million started to dig along the pre decided line as to maximize the digging speed Rudra had assigned a group of 10 men an area of about 1 meter to dig while a group of another 10 men another one meter , all connecting in a chain to form the tunnel.
Both the digging work and the fight seemed to go as planned , as the digging workers dug as if their lives depended on it while the sonic and smell attacks made the demons disoriented and dazed and completely incapable of engaging in proper combat.
It was an easy slaughter for the elite army so much so that Rudra started to get a gut feeling that something was wrong about the situation.
Somehow the response troops were 90% composed of only tier 2 troops and hardly a few tier 3 troops between them.
It was too easy of an slaughter to be called a proper fight and it just did not feel right.
Rudra used his heaven's eye to take a look around , trying to understand what was going on but he was a step too late this time , the trap was already set and the elites had already taken the bait and were now sitting ducks for the demon counterattack.
Looking through his heaven's eyes he could see close to 1000 ships sailing down the river with archers on the ready to shoot from both sides and cannons prodding out in the middle.
Close to 2 million tier 3 troops alongside atleast 50 tier 4 commanders marching out from the flood village.
And one hideous looking creature and one extremely powerful tier 5 commander heading towards them from the fort of Mirzapur in a flying chariot.
It was an AMBUSH!
