Everyone started to fervently prepare for war. There was an overall atmosphere of pushing past their limits and going above and beyond in the next 3 days to be at the peak condition possible for the war.
Fatty Kalash lead his team of lifestyle players to ensure that the manufacturing of the ballistae and the rapid construction of reinforced brick wall was progressing well.
The first phase of the plan , revolved heavily around the contribution of the lifestyle guild. In the ten minute preperation time before the war started , they had to completely reinforce the entraces to make the fort impregnable. A slightest weakness in assembly and the defense could crumble , and the war would be finished there and then.
However fatty Kalash wasn't someone who would ever let that happen on his watch, under his supervision the wall team worked day and night to perfect their craft of making the wall. And the assembly of the ballistae and a sea of arrows were being produced in the smithies day and night.
The alchemists and potionmakers in the lifestyle division made many poisonous gas potions , to throw into swarm of enemies to deter them .
Although they were not very lethal and could be easily countered with an antidote , to those who were not well equipped they could still posess a challenge.
Especially the basic paralysis potion , that reduced movement speed by 40% .
The assaulters of the guild were busy levelling , that included Rudra who was levlling like a maniac . He had aldready levelled up twice and showed no signs of slowing.

The same went for Karna and Neatwit who were levelling up relentlessly. The three understood quite well that their independent strengths would play a huge role in the coming war.
The guild also spared no expense in improving its members strengths. High quality weapons, skill books , equipment , everything was purchased by the guild , the member had to only send a invoice requesting money and they will be given the entire sum and also some more.
It just soo happened that every single member was covered in light gold equipment or higher. There were not a single piece of bronze or silver ranked equipment on their body. Only gold or dark gold grade.
Not even guild leaders of third and second rate guilds soo well equipped much less common members. This just went to show , how different the elites were from the other guilds.
Rich beyond reason , unafraid to splurge on members , and delivered more than what was promised.
It was because of this attitude of the guild towards its members that the sincerity was returned as people whole heartedly worked for the guild.
The facade infront of Orochimaru was mentained perfectly as members kept talking about how to navigate the forest and how to set up traps and how they wished that the alliance would be merciful in victory.

Orochimaru kept gaining confidence in the alliance victory and soo did the superiors behind him who praised him for a job well done.
The alliance had aldready came up with ways to counter the forest problem . They had purchased flares in bulk and of different colors , their plan was to infiltrate the entire forest and then the group which encountered enemies would fire a flare in the air.
Every nearby group would close in with a circle formation as they confronted the enemy from all sides.
This way the enemy would have no chance to use guirella tactics and it would be only a matter of time before the enemy was caught in small groups and hunted to oblivion.
Their other plans included strategically burning portions of the forest to drive out the enemy , should they encounter an area that the enemy had made a stronghold out of.
And naturally the equipment they carried was also suited for the exact task. Had they even a whiff of the Elite's true strategy , they could have prepared ladders and siege equipment , have wallbreakers and have the wizards learn strong explosive spells.
However they were clueless about it because of the very person they planted to not be clueless. Rudra had played a masterstroke in manipulating Orochimaru and the alliance would find out about it real soon.
The forums were ablaze with speculation as the odds of an Elite victory were the worst odds ever predicted.
With a payout of 32:1 , an Elite s victory was ruled out by every single expert. However there were those who saw this as an opportunity to make big money , and hence invested 100$ to 1000$ on Elite's victory , while betting 10,000 dollars on their loss . Hence either way it wont be a big loss for them . Now they just hoped for a miraculous Elite victory.
The only exeption to the scenario and heaviest better towards the Elite's was naturally Ethan Grey who had absolute confidence in Rudra. Who bet a whopping 100 billion dollars on an elites win .
He would either make the annual profit of the Grey corporation in a single week , or loose a lot of money on a whim.
To be fair he was scared of lossing his money , but the thrill of the gamble compelled him to do it anyway. Now he just hoped Rudra would not let him down.
The worlds attention was on this fight as major news channels had already began programs about the war running almost 20 hours a day.
Various experts were brought to the pannel to discuss about the possible elites strategy and war outcome.
While many interesting theories were exchanged the end analysis of all experts was the same , there is no chance in hell that the Elite's win.
The bald expert that just had his hair grown back after mispredicting that the elites cant defeat Orange Rock guild , was back on the pannel , as he again made a bold prediction when a journalist asked him about his precious mistake.
The journalist asked " Sir , you had said the same thing when the Elites fought Orange Rock guild , that there was no chance in hell that they could win. Now you say it again , what happens if you are wrong yet again? ".
The expert said " Last time was a fluke , noone could have predicted the use of bombs by the guild , and there is a limit to how much cards one can hold. I can gaurantee that the Elite's wont win this war. And if they do , i will not only shave my head again , i will also shave my eyebrows , moustache and wax every single hair on my body ".
The expert made a bold prediciton…
Rudra seeing the show on his sofa , eating popcorn smiled as he said " Get ready to loose your hair then baldie ….
