The elites had won the war! There was an atmosphere of joy and celebrations throughout Purplehaze city as the elites partied like absolute legends following this impossible victory .
This was one of the lengthiest and hardest fought wars by the elites of all time and it was instrumental in forging a sense of unity within the guild.
The guild had expanded a lot in recent times and the newer members of the guild did not carry the same mentality of the older ones and did not truly understand the reason why the guild had grown so much so fast.
Rudra had prioritised quality over quantity with the elites and with the core members all living in the upside , the guild was as United and cohesive as a unit as one could be and now the newer members were added to that list too.
While for the past few months it was only smooth sailing for the elites , this was a war where even the veteran members knew that the chances of defeat were greater than the chances of victory , and to power through such a war and come out victorious it truly forged character in a soldier.
The newer members now finally understood the true depth of the guilds prowess and how hard the upper echleons of the guild actually worked to make such impossible feats possible.
Acquiring new technologies , leading battles from the front , covering the retreat of their legion , holding enemy generals at bay . The elite elders did all that and much more !
Seeing the true strength of tier 4 enemy generals in action , the elite members finally understood the true disparity between themselves and the elders who could go head to head with these monsters and especially between them and guildmaster Shakuni who actually beat these guys back.
Everyone in the guild appreciated Shakuni from the bottom of their hearts in the guild. It was a respect that he had earned by navigating the guild out of troubled waters time and time again by leading from the front.
It was close to worship as for the elites their guildmaster could do no wrong , and they had faith that till Shakuni was standing …. Any war could be won!
It was this devotion that made them sing the chants of their guildmaster even when the war was over , as except the chants of ‘ Go elites go! ‘ , the other most popular victory chant was
‘ He can’t be beat ,
he can’t be beat
His name is Shakuni
He can’t be beat ‘.
Rudra himself was out of action following the war for a full 12 hours as he recuperated in the medical bay where Naomi and a team of senior healers put his bones back together.
The healers were shocked as to how Shakuni was even standing in such a state as his spine when he came to the medical bay was broken from its joint at the hipbone.
Although his HP bar was full , shakuni was nothing more than a bag of meat as his body had no mobility anymore.
Only after the tier 4 paladins from the church also joined his treatment was Rudra finally patched up enough to start walking and use his left arm again , as even then he was given a 60 day rehab programme where he could not over-exert himself.
Bandaged from top to bottom , he finally made an appearance in the streets as he sent the order to gather the entire guild in the inner city.
As Rudra stood on the highest steps of the church of light , he patiently waited as thousands and thousands of Elite warriors started to fill up the inner city as an atmosphere of joy and celebration could be seen.
Although the crowd densely packed the entire inner-city . They unanimously parted and made a guard of honour when an elder made their way into the inner city , as claps and cheers surrounded all elders as they made their way to the church.
Karna and Jhonny walked confidently amongst all the cheers while Neatwit and Fatty Kalash felt shy.
SMG and Medivh avoided the crowd in the first place as SMG made his way through the shadows and Medivh used levitation.
With all the boys assembling , the only one left was Amelia as she recieved the biggest ovasion of them all as she made her way to the church’s steps.
Rudra gave a smile to all his fellow elders as pride swelled within his chest to see them. He felt fortunate to have picked such reliable members as the pillars of his guild , as now they could even battle against a mega group like blood merchants and come out victorious.
He looked at the crowd smiling , as the deafening chants of ‘ Shakuni ! shakuni! Shakuni! ‘ entered his ears.
Rudra chuckled at those chants as he raised his hand to signal them to stop , and within 3 seconds the entire city was enveloped in pin-drop silence.
It was the charisma that Rudra exuded that made one instantly compliant , as with a single signal of his hand , millions complied.
” We did it yeah … We won! “. He said as the elites bursted into whistles and cheers as Rudra laughed his heart out as well.
Raising his hand once more , he finally started his speech ” Yes , WE DID IT! , We did it together! We did it as a guild and we showed them merchants who is the big dog around this neighborhood!
It wasn’t an easy war lads , i know it …. Sometimes there were moments where even I thought that fucking hell , is there an end to their numbers?
We kill one merchant and a hundered were behind him to replace his position in the attack lines , and at one point the war just became exhaustive.
However boys … This is what the merchants thought as well and it is the reason that they fell!
They thought their superior numbers would scare the elites , they thought that even if one of them died that they had a hundered to replace them …. However they did not expect that a single Elite would take all 101 of those bitches down ! “.
The elites roared in approval as they felt the energy in Rudra’s speech. Rudra was usually always reserved with his words and he rarely cursed , hence it was always serious when he did.
” This was not a war where we gained some monetary or territorial gains …. No… It was an unavoidable conflict where even as the winners we lost large sections of our beautiful city that will never be the same again….. “.
The elites felt the pain in their hearts at this statement . It was true that the elites had won the war , but at what cost?
” Why are you all sad ? Although the war gave us no monetary gains … It gave us something much more invaluable ! Something that will stay with each and every one of us forever and something that will make this guild UNSTOPPABLE in the future ….. “.
Everyone felt confused at to what the guild leader was hinting at , as they listened in rapt attention.
” The merchants have given us the opportunity to understand what it means to be a TRUE ELITE!
They have given us the chance to show to the world what this guild is all about … And for that I’m eternally grateful!
ELITES! , The enemy forces numbered over 30 FUCKING MILLION …. How many of them do u see in this city now?
ZERO!
HOW MANY OF US ARE STILL HERE NOW? “.
Rudra let that question hang in the air for a while , as he continued .
” The day i created the guild , i had this vision to only let the Best of the best players in the world into this guild.
Players who could take on a hundered enemies alone.
For me the definition of a true Elite was only just this ….. A player who can take down a hundered enemies.
The merchants thought that replacing every dead with a hundered they could win the war easily . However while this strategy would have worked against any other guild in the world …. WE ARE THE ELITES!
We killed them one , and we killed them 100 too as WE SENT THE MERCHANTS PACKING FROM OUR CITY ! “
The elite members had goosebumps on their skin now as they listened to Rudra’s words thinking what it meant to truly be an Elite.
” Be proud lads , as everyone who participated in this war … Everyone who kept fighting till the end , everyone who sent the merchants packing …
You can proudly call yourself a TRUE ELITE now …
Yes ! Yes! You all are True Elites! WE ARE TRUE ELITES .
YOU HAVE EARNED IT ! “.
The elite members lost their minds as some cried while some cheered , but everyone could feel the adrenaline rush coursing through their veins … Everyone who participated in this war was worthy to be called an elite!
” Let the world call our chants cringe , our success a fluke and our methods unlawful.
None of them have the balls to fight us head on anyways ….
I say embrace it … Embrace the cringe of our chant , embrace the fluke of our constant success and embrace our uncanny methods …. Lets give it the billions watching worldwide , let’s give them the loudest chant of all time.
On my count boys … At the top of your lungs
ONE FOR ALL …. “.
The entirety of the elite members shouted at the top of their lungs
ALL FOR ONE
GO ELITES GO !
A deafening chant resonated throughout the city , as the Elite members felt their emotions reach a boiling point , Rudra’s speach made them feel like god’s walking on earth , and they truly beleived now that nobody could stop this guild of theirs.
They felt proud to be a true Elite , and the loyalty that the members felt at this moment towards the guild was boundless.
