Rebirth of the Strongest Guild Master

Chapter 388 - Taking down a village

In between the crowd of people trying to find the coins on the street , were sparsely distributed mercenaries and nine cloud kingdom soldiers. 

The sheer density of the crowd and the frequent infighting , as well as the continuous clamour and noises , made the entire town feel like an extremely crowded fish market. It was soo bad that if someone shouted for help , it may not even traverse 5 full meters before being drowned by the sounds of the crowd.

It was the perfect cover for commiting crime. As one by one , groups of four soldiers under Rudra , dressed as common men , would bump into a soldier or mercenary as a part of the crowd and stab them with four swords at once. 

The men could not even shout for help , as they died on the spot. The soldiers committed murder in plain sight , yet the crowd busy in finding gold coins did not even bother. 

Simmilar instances occured all over the city , as enemy numbers dwindled without a fight. When the numbers dropped below a certain level though , the mercenaries started to notice , something was off . Their teammates were respawning back in the church of light of their hometowns by the hundereds . As the situation was reported , the other mercenaries started to get more vigilant. 

However , all this was already factored in by Rudra , who gave the order to rain Flame arrows onto the Village! 

Thousands of flaming arrows covered the sky in an instant , as the low levelled players were baffled at the sight . 

The arrows rained down on the village and it's houses , as the fire started to spread. Hundereds of innocent adventurers died , and many mercenaries were injured by the sudden attack. 

When a System Notification , broke everyone from their stupor. 

System notification : THE VILLAGE OF MERCURY IS UNDER ATTACK BY HAZELGROOVE KINGDOM FORCES. 

BY AGGRESSING ON ENEMY TERRITORY , THE HAZELGROOVE KINGDOM HAS DECLARED WAR ON NINECLOUDS KINGDOM . 

KILLING ENEMY'S FROM OTHER KINGDOM WILL NOW NOT INCREASE INFAMY , AND RESPAWN TIME IS INCREASED TO 24 HOURS. 

War had been declared , as thousands of cavalry of the first division , bravely charged towards the village walls. 

Panic ensued inside the village , as low levelled players lost their minds , the village was burning and there was enemy attacking and respawn time had been increased to 24 hours. 

Which meant that if they were killed , it would take 24 hours for them to log in back into the game. Hence ensued a period of madness and chaos , as stampede went rampant in the village. 

Seeing the charge of the cavalry , the soldiers shouted " ENEMY ATTACK .... CLOSE THE WALLS , DEFEND THE VILLAGE , ALL MEN TO THE WALLS! ". 

" ENEMY ATTACK ". 

" WAR! ". 

The people Manning the walls of Mercury village , quickly started to throw spears and release arrows at the charging cavalry . However , the ones who ended up dying were them and not a single cavalryman from Rudra's faction was hurt. As they were utterly backstabbed by the soldiers who had already entered the village. 

Rudra Gave them a minute by minute breakdown of tasks , where two minutes before the start of the rain of fire , the soldiers were to take cover , and gather near the entrance of the village , and take aim at the people Manning the walls. 

The moment that the fire arrow rain ended , and the village was enveloped in chaos , Rudra lead the charge of the cavalry personally , towards the village gates. Where the soldiers defending the walls redirected their efforts , only to leave their backs completely exposed to those who were already inside. 

From then on , the soldiers on the inside , slaughtered their way to the village walls , and opened it wide for the cavalry to enter. 

Thousands of Hazelgroove soldiers stormed the Mercury village gates , as the infantrymen regrouped with the main army , to now lead an all out charge against the enemies.

The village turned into a bloodbath lead by Rudra , as the weaker Nineclouds kingdom soldiers were no match for the superior Hazelgroove kingdom soldiers . 

Even the hired security , the mercenaries from the triads had a hard time to overcome the sheer numerical advantage and greater strength of the soldiers from Hazelgroove , as they were continually forced to retreat . 

With the Hazelgroove army pressing , they were forced to the southside , alongwith the players , who were hostile to the soldiers . 

In desperation to retreat , the soldiers started to cut down on the weak players , as the level 10 players were not even worth a strike to kill . 

However , this outrageous act caused the weak players to retaliate in anger , as although they still fell in one strike , they did significantly reduce the speed of retreat for the Ninecloud soldiers , who were clobbered from behind by Hazelgroove army. 

The next 30 minutes was the last decent fight that the defenders of Mercury village put up , as soon their numbers dwindled to individual stragglers.

Half the village burnt down , the village chief and thousands of soldiers dead . In under 14 hours , Rudra had captured the Mercury village with less than 100 casualties on his end. 

It was a massive victory , completely unconventional , however devastatingly effective.

( Meanwhile somewhere in China ) 

Jhonny was currently hunting down a small gang of local hoodlums involved in operating a small cartel. 

Somehow his choice of weapons had shifted from using guns to using the Assassin's dagger like he used in game. He found out that , just like In Omega , he could actually use it precisely in real life as well. 

It was confusing for him , as he did not understand how it happened , but it was as if throwing daggers was imprinted in his muscle memory .

No matter the angle , no matter the trajectory , he would always pierce his opponents neck clean. 

He walked at the pace of a normal man walking on a ramp in a fashion show , however left and right local hoodlums holding guns dropped dead after being pierced by daggers . 

As the leader of the group looked at Jhonny terrified with his hands trembling as he asked " 

Nǐ shì móguǐ ma" ( Are you the devil? ) 

To which Jhonny replied "

Wǒ shì yuēhàn ní yīngyǔ" 

 ( I am Jhonny English )
