Chapter 431: Hazelgroove Kingdom Unites

The news of the invasion by the forces of darkness in Hazelgroove kingdom sent shockwaves across the entire nation. Everyone started to flock to Purplehaze city trying to understand what to do , being present on ground zero before the war started.

Purplehaze city saw its most busy day in terms of visitor input , as millions of players flocked inside the city , wether it were low level 11-20 players or the high 70-90 level players , everyone from solo to first rate guilds were present here.

As with every crowd without appointed leadership , the state of Purplehaze city was utter chaos , with no single party being the leader of the entire masses.

Naturally it being Purplehaze city , the Elites had the highest say , but Rudra chose not to take up the leadership position of the players on himself , as he had much important tasks at hand , as Emperor Cervantez had given a royal summon to all military personnel.

The first division was sent a rush order to only leave essential personnel in fort Magma and retreat back to the capital.

But Rudra being a sensible lieutenant only retracted 20,000 of his forces back to the capital and left 80,000 to defend Fort Magma. Because he knew that Nineclouds kingdom would not let the misfortune of Hazelgroove kingdom slide.

And Rudra was not ready to loose the very hard won fortress and let his efforts go to waste and he had an inkling that in this war , 80,000 troops here or there would not really affect the final results too much. The stakes were too high and the powers involved were too high levelled for the tier 2 soldiers to make too much of an impact.

Rudra was worried as he walked into the royal capital with his lieutenant robes on. Everyone from entire Church of light , and officials from every corner of the kingdom were present. Awaiting Cervantez to walk into the room.

There were hushed talks going on all across the hall , the Church members were delighted to see Rudra there and naturally pulled him inside their huddle , talking about how proposterous the forces of darkness had became , and how the pope had been informed of the predicament and he will be sending help soon.

Rudra learnt a key information right now , which was that the Elven kingdom had dispatched massive reinforcements to support the Hazelgroove kingdom , and the church of light had dispatched 1 million paladins from the holy city to help the kingdom.

They were all going to be teleported through the teleportation array in Purplehaze city. Which highlighted the importance of the Elites making this infrastructure in the first place.

Rudra was looking at potentially making a billion dollars in teleportation fees alone , but he immediately knew that more than the teleportation fees , it was more important to score brownie points with the Church , as the moment he learnt of this information , he decided to waiver the teleportation fees , and reserve it purely for the church's forces.

The officials of the church looked at Rudra as if he was truly a devout of the church , thinking that his kindness was a blessing of the goddess herself. Rudra managed to become a saint in the church's eyes , further elevating his status as a man on the side of the righteous faction.

But to be honest he did not only do it for the church , he was sure that in someway Ruby will also come to learn of what transpired here today , and how generous her boyfriend was , letting the elven forces come to the city fast , without making any money.

If it was forced on Rudra to take these steps by the state , then it would be viewed as a necessary sacrifice by the people. But him doing it voluntarily made him an angel of mankind.

However he could not bask in others glory for long , as the hall fell silent the moment Emperor Cervantez walked in.

Rudra instantly noticed that emperor Cervantez was wearing grand clothes today , amplifying his dignity as a ruler. He was here to ȧssure everyone and make a statement.

Behind him was Patricia , who was in full clad armour , showing that the general was ready for war.

Cervantez flicked his sleeve as he took the throne , his entire personality oozing dominance of a tier 5 ruler.

The moment the emperor sat down , a courtier declared the royal court to be in session. And naturally the first order of buisness was the war.

A lot of people wanted to speak , but before everyone , it was Cervantez who had to address the crowd.

The emperor said " Yes , the forces of darkness have invaded Hazelgroove kingdom , the scouts report their numbers to be at 24 million. Mazikeen is personally leading the forces , the same Mazikeen with a vendetta against me and my family , for imprisoning her for centuries.

She is here for the throne , and here for the destruction of our kingdom. Naturally all those years ago when the founder imprisoned Mazikeen , we could not kill her because we were not strong enough. But that changes now , because I AM STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL HER. And since she viewed MY kingdom , MY people with her dirty gaze , I'll be damned if I don't gouge her eyes out before beheading her.

I'm a tier 5 warrior , and I'm going to war! SOO TELL ME COUNCIL , WHO IS WITH ME? ".

Patricia shouted " I AM "

Rudra followed " I AM "

The council shouted " I AM "

Cervantez nodded and said " Today's court will only focus on the war , if you don't have something constructive to contribute to the discussion then i would advice you to shut your mouth as I am on a very short temper today. Let the court continue ".

There was silence in the room now , everyone shuddered in fear , as noone wanted to face the wrath of the emperor. Everyone contemplated about what they wanted to say ten times before daring to raise their hand.

Naturally the result was a very productive court session.
