Chapter 45 - Ambush
Rudra and the party were ready to teleport outside the dungeon when Amelia contacted Rudra about the current situation of the Orange Rock guild members camping outside the dungeon.
Rudra half expected this to happen ..... Just he never expected it to be so soon. His guild of elites had only one drawback that could not be overcome and that was numbers... Even a pack of Hyenas could hunt a lone lion.
Hence he had long since decided to break this notion from everyone ' s minds that his guild was easy pickings. The Orange Rock guild was the perfect stepping stone for this ... They needed to be taken down to set an example that the True Elite's cant be suppressed even with numbers.
Rudra decided to inform the guild members about the current predicament. " Okay guys listen up! , The Orange Rock guild has spawn camped this dungeon with over 2000 members to make sure we will die today before leaving the premises safely....".
The guild members expressions turned grim..... However strong they were .... Could they really beat 2000 players with just 50 of them?
It did not seem feasible .... The guild members felt extremely nervous. Rudra said " Are you scared of being outnumbered ? ..... Are you scared of fighting? ... Well if you are let me tell you i completely understand where you come from , however let me tell you something now that you should ingrain into every fiber of your being.....and that is the ones that should be afraid of us are them ! Each and every enemy that points their sword towards our guild should be scared as each one of us is probably worth a thousand of them ".
" SINCE WHEN ARE DRAGONS AFRAID OF ANTS? " Rudra said raising his voice .... His voice full of determination . " We are the top of the top the best players in the damn kingdom , look to your left , look to your right ..... Look towards me.... Which one of us is weak? " .
" WHICH ONE OF US IS WEAK?"??Rudra asked again .... And the hearts of the guild members stirred .... That's right .... Which one of them was weak? ..... Everyone was admitted after a rigourous and extremely strict vetting environment. The weakest of them ranked 70 on the rankings list.
" They are weak.... Lv 12 , 13 cannon fodders with unpolished skills , their elites cant even pass the first screening for True Elites exam ..... And then there are you guys..... Pray tell who should be afraid?". Rudra questioned them.
" We wont succumb to bullying..... Not now..... Not ever..... Not to anyone .....we will stand at the top and the ants beneath us will be crushed by us! ". Rudra was on a roll now .
" We will go out there , and the 50 of us will break their encirclement , kill their leader and walk triumphant into the city ..... If push comes to shove ... We will annihilate all 2000 members". Rudra declared.... Madness in his eyes.
The guild members felt charged hearing this.... They had faith in Rudra and his leadership skills after the Dungeon run .... If the boss said we fight ... We fight!
" Lets show them , who the boss is! " Cola said.
" YEAH, DRAGONS WILL NEVER?FALL TO ANTS " Karna said .
" True elites ! True elites ! True elites! .... True Elites a chant was created .... Energising the entire guild".
" we are ready for war leader .... Call the shots" MonkeyKingEnma said.
Rudra smiled " Alright! Let me lay it out for you .... Me , Karna and Medivh will be on the vanguard , slaughtering our way through creating an opening ..... The rest of you form two man teams and follow behind .... One covers one flank other covers the second.....you dont need to care about the front just cover the 130° left and right respectively ..... The healers being at the centre protected by tanks and the fastest archers and hunters at the rearguard ."
The party quickly acted on Rudra's instructions and formed a formation . Rudra nodded satisfied. Time to slaughter!

( Meanwhile , the real world)
Ethan Grey was absolutely furious and used his real world influence to absolutely bury the Orange corporation ..... Cancelling government contracts , destroying their real estate construction sites , disabling power to their corporate house , and making investors pull out money from the company ..... Summing it up it could be said that the Orange corporation was in deep shit!
Orange corporation CEO and Donald 's father had shit himself in the pants hearing that he offended Ethan Grey ... Moreover he was absolutely horrified at how his son was the cause of this mess.
His son was the independent owner of Orange Rock Esports and he had absolutely no involvement in it whatsoever .... Realistically he could put no pressure on his son .... He did not own a single share of the thing . He was helpless against Grey , the officials that usually roamed left and right around him all day were suddenly giving him a cold shoulder , not even bothering for a conversation . He was scared.....his options limited .... It was then that someone threw him a lifeline. A trillionare who had the power to compete against Grey .
Well he doted on his son a lot .... Hence he could still not bring himself to reprimand him ... Instead he decided to sell his pride ... The only way to go against Ethan Grey was by taking cover under another trillionare and Ethans arch buisness rival Mithun Ambani .

( Back in game )
The party emerged outside the dungeon and was greeted with a sight of countless players equipped in medeival weapons.
It was a bone chilling sight .... Not a single sound could be heard .... Everyone in Rudra's party had ragged breathing ..... And almost all of the 2050 players here were currently recording this exchange.Regardless of the outcome , this fight would be watched over and over by millions of people.
Donald said " atlast we meet Mr Shakuni .....
