Chapter 815 A City Captured

Although skirmishes were ongoing all across the city , with Jhonny and the other generals capturing the gates of the city , the city had turned from a free space to essentially an extra large prison , as no demons could run outside the city , while no reinforcements could enter the city.

The army of death archers took up the patrol position on the walls whereas the lower tier troops took the helm of operating battle weapons.

With Jhonny leading a massive force of three legions total , it only took a few co-ordinated minutes for the legions to take control of the city from the outermost circuit of the walls as they started to push the fight closer and closer down the centre.

A new force would have problem coordinating and navigating a new city without technologies such as GPS or wall mounted maps , however with Max having obtained the city's blueprints the elites were able to plan in advance and understand the layout of the city thoroughly.

This made coordination and attacks extremely synchronised and every choke point that could be used to thwart the March of troops such as cross-roads and narrow street crossings , were stormed early on before proper defenses could be set up.

A bloody war lasted 6 hours , as millions of demons battled millions of humans, however at the end , the defending forces were routed , and at a loss of just 11 million soldiers total , Jhonny had successfully obtained the city token from the mayor's office and claimed the city as his own.

This was a major blow to Lucifer's forces as the city of Sivanthe was a major population and industrial hub and with such a massive city falling into the human hands , the army of death now had a base of operations on the other side of river Thames.

With ' Har Har mahadev ' chants being sung all across the city , and the flag of death unflurring from its walls , the army of death added to its achievements yet another flawless victory.

( Meanwhile on the forums )

As the war of the city of Sivanthe was broadcasted it was only now that majority of the netizens started to get a whiff of Rudra's real plan , as the conversations on the forums took a 180° turn from before.

" So let me get this straight , about 18 hours ago the entire forums was laughing and mocking shakuni to have lost his touch and for facing a massive defeat , however 18 hours later it turns out that not a single one of us was able to understand his true plans and his forces have now captured a city?

GOAT! , That man is simply the GOAT ".

" I would like to call out every single one of you who made fun of Shakuni a few hours ago .... Where are you now? F****ing dumb bastards who have no clue about his true intentions , yet quick to jump to conclusions!

Now be quick to apologise, or your daddy and Shakuni's number one fan will be posting memes of your ID for eternity ".

" Too strong .... Shakuni is simply too strong , Mad respect ".

" Another win for the army of death , what is it now , 7th or 8th one in last 4 months? , Damn i wish I joined them early on , there was so much EXP to be gained ".

" I have studied the map of hell and with this enormous strategic victory, i guess there is only the fort of Mirzapur now standing between the capital city and the army of deaths March. Although it sound unbelievable, we might see a regime change in hell in under 4 months now .... Seems like Lucifer's time is up ".

" Hahaha , the dark faction players need to start praying to beniogre quickly and beg the goddess to extend some protection to Lucifer, as Rudra is sure as hell on his way to reap the devil's life ".

Overall the mood had reversed and everyone criticizing Rudra were left awestruck and at a loss of words at the revelation of his masterstroke.

Many content creators started to break down his war strategy into small bits , and although for now it was just content to kill time , many years down the line in the history of humanity this particular war would be called the ' War of river Thames ' and it would be a mandatory read for all students in class 8.

( Meanwhile Rudra )

The sky blackened , pitch black smoke seemed to cover the entirety of the sky as within one short minute the light density of the area fell to a barely visible level with majority of the light being absorbed by small black particles which now occupied all the air around the battlefield.

Purple lightning bolts could be seen occassionally from within the pitch black particles in the sky , as a eery cold followed by a rumbling thunder could be felt and heard by Rudra on the battlefield.

Before Rudra actually saw the devil , he sensed his sinister presence as when the devil's aura washed over him he felt as if he had eaten a utterly burnt piece of break and although his body wanted to spit it out , some magical force was making him Chew on it consistently , making him feel a weird compulsion of throwing up when he could not.

You are in the presence of the devil Lucifer, the ruler of demons , the progenitor of all sin and the overlord of the underworld. All stats reduced by 25% due to aura ssuppression. 

Just like Rudra's aura suppressed those below him , Lucifer's aura suppressed everyone below tier 6 , and while Omar was fine , Rudra saw a massive debuff of 25% on all stats.

However Rudra 's undead army fared even worse. The demons in Lucifer's service and the undead under Rudra were sprawled on the floor alike , irrespective of their association to Lucifer.

Anyone below tier 3 was instantly reduced to dust while all troops at tier 3 were thoroughly incapacitated without even 1% of movement available , while all tier 4 generals faced a massive debuff of 75% on all stats as they clutched their chests and breathed heavily struggling to even mentain their footing.

Lucifer did not care about the demons under his service anymore and hence did not restrain his aura to only dominate a certain section of the battlefield, but rather let it go loose , which resulted in the entire army of demons and Rudra's undead losing millions of lives on both ends.

And then atlast Rudra laid eyes on the devil himself , armoured and carrying a weapon in all his glory , and it was not a sight for the faint hearted and one that Rudra would certainly not forget for an eternity.
