MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
Chapter 773: A city fight (1)With the wall collapsed the army of death stormed the city unobstructed as it basically became a plain street fight without there being proper defensive mounts.
A defending force could have an advantage while defending a city from ground zero but that needed them to make lots of pre-planning by setting up roadblocks and supply centres.
They needed to backward integrate a whole lot of things for their forces to fall back only one block at a time with their every retreat being covered and every advance being backed.
Such a robust structure needed careful planning of reinforcement centres , medical centres as well as wall mounted defensive structures , just like the elites did in Purplehaze city before the invasion of the blood merchants , however that was only possible because the elites knew that the attack was coming for months and had ample time to set such things in motion.
Without those things however there was no tactical advantage that a city's defending forces had over the invading ones .
It all finally dropped to the numbers game without any tactical advantage and for once Rudra was fighting in a side with an overwhelming greater numeric capacity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was one of the reasons why Rudra called for the full strength of the army on this attack as it was one of those days where the result of the fight ultimately did depend on the numbers game.
The army of death outnumbered the city's forces nearly 3:1 and this gave them the ability to charge swords blazing as the enemy forces were attacked left right and centre.
Rudra took on the tier 5 demon solo , while the pope of darkness was taken on by the other four demon commanders.
The tier 5 demon incharge of defending the city was named " Vigo " and he was ranked the number 2 strongest commander in Lucifer's army.
Vigo was someone who could actually go toe to toe with a beast like Rudra as despite Rudra having an unbelievable boost of stats , he was still not fast or strong enough to overwhelm Vigo in a one vs one fight.
Rudra's strength already put him past an average tier 5 existance, as his stats were nearly double of that level , however tier 5 was a vast tier and those at the very peak of tier 5 were existances who had lived for a long time and whose power exceeded Rudra's by a fair margin.
Vigo was not at the absolute peak of tier 5 , but could be considered to be in the higher range for sure and was an absolute master of wind and water arts with water being his strongest forte.
While initially he and Rudra fought through their physical moves , when it became clear that none of them could gain a significant upper-hand in the fight using physical combat , both of them resorted to the use of elements.
Vigo used a spell that created two water dragons to attack Rudra and Rudra countered using ' Leaf Blade Hurricane ' as he sliced and diced the dragons into pieces countering the move perfectly.
However Vigo immediately followed up with blasting Rudra with short bullets of concentrated water molecules and although Rudra used ' Circumvent ' to avoid the strike he started to realise a critical thing about his fighting style which was currently his biggest drawback.
He had no elemental attack spells like his enemy , his arsenal was packed with either functional attacks or with sword attacks that he learnt early into his fighting journey , however he had no attacks like the water dragon head or the water bullet that the enemy used to counter the enemy attacks with mana alone.
Understanding his drawbacks Rudra also knew that to make most of the situation he would need to play to his strengths rather then letting the enemy play to his as he leaped into the sky and used gravity manipulation to shoot upwards.
Vigo followed Rudra into the skies by using his wind manipulation and kept the pressure on towards Rudra by using more water based attacks.
However with Rudra having the ability to manipulate gravity he kept creating zones of high and low gravity to completely mess up his enemies attack trajectory and dispell any attempts to reduce his HP.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSomehow Rudra was managing to fight the fight to a stalemate using his tricks however he was not finding any opening to capitalise on the enemy , as all he could do for now was to wait for the other tier 5 commanders to finish off the pope fast and help him in battle , but the help was taking way longer to arrive than anticipated.
There was a huge Inherent problem with the tier 5 demons that Hades had created , although Asmodeus, Belphegor, Mammon and Leviathan were tier 5 by birth they were not as skilled as a tier 5 warrior who had reached the level of power through grit and hardwork.
Just like the tier 4 demons of Belphegor's division who were not competent enough to wipe a village on their own , the four tier 5 demons were finding it hard to dominate one tier 5 pope.
If one observed their fighting style it was apparent that they made newbie mistakes like a tier 2 fighter as their bodies were not aligned with their swords which made them lose power behind every swing and exposed their bodies for counterattacks.
Although the demons were quick learners and never repeated a similar mistake twice , which was a good sign , for now atleast Rudra was Stuck with four retarded demon legions and four retarded commanders in his army.
Although it did not matter much in the lower levels of tier 1-2-3 , the difference was apparent in the upper ones.
