<h4>Chapter 418 - Battle Horns Blown</h4>


    ( The Elites Guild Hall , Live press conference )


    Rudra had called for a live press conference today , inviting dewdiepie and a few other influential streamers and media guys into the guild hall . Today he wanted to make a statement to the world ... A statement about what the Elites were truly about , a disy of the Guilds true power.


    As usual the elders stood on the stage while the other members made filled the numbers inside the guild hall , however the rowdy bunch was a little more disciplined today as to not give a bad impression inside media.


    Only 3 hours were left untill the war officially began and the forums were ripe with spection and debate regarding this war.


    As the restriction was Lifted yesterday many were stupefied to know that war indemnity had to be paid before dering wars on a territory , hence although some fights broke out regardless , many were put on halt. Amongst these fights the Elites facing the Triads was undoubtedly thergest and the most significant one.


    The world had their eyes on this war , especially after the fourth system update and the various new globalization steps taken . The world was assessing each others strengths now , and the spotlight was on Rudra''s Elites, to understand where they stood in the power dynamic.


    Undoubtedly strong , filled with wonder members and triple Olympic gold medalist. Individually they were absolutely terrifying to face against.


    However numbers and influence was not on par with other major powers , as they only controlled one city with a pitifully low members count.


    However all that did not matter if the small guild is capable of wrecking havoc onrge scale organizations like the triad coalition. Should the Elites be the victors , they would undoubtedly have solidified their position as one of the top regional powers.


    Time and time again , the Elites won wars with overwhelming disadvantages .... Would this time be the same? Would the small guild loose and loose their 40 seconds of fame? Would they dissolve and the talented members be absorbed into other organisations ?


    Everyone had different questions , however everyone was in rapt attention as Rudra started to speak .


    Rudra said " Alrightds , another year , another war , another victory ..... "


    A small cheer erupted from the crowd , but millions watching worldwide sneered at Rudra''s cockiness.


    Rudra smiled and continued " The opposition is nothing much , we have personally had the honor of recieving their prestigious leader once in this very guild headquarters ... But she was too overbearing , not understanding that inside Purplehaze city .... The Elites are the gods , and if you get into a fight with them .... Then your hands are just to short to box with God !


    Resulting in her being dragged across the streets of Purplehaze while being pelted with rotten tomatoes.


    But guys we made a mistake there ... A very unfortunate one. We did not thoroughly understand Hao Mi ''s character , I''m terrified of it now that I know it ... ".


    Silence , utter silence , Rudra''s cockiness had now baffled even the extreme Elite supporters , as they watched with baited breaths on what he had to say now ...


    Many thought Rudra would acknowledge how terrifying and revenge driven Hao Mi was , that he was sorry that he brought this war upon the guild , or something along those lines


    However Rudra said " The mistake i made is , i did not know that Hao Mi that ugly noseless fifty year old foggy would actually be a masochist. One time humiliation was not enough for her , soo she is back for more ..... "


    Silence , utter silence , followed by a roar of cheers andughter.


    The media guys covering this gulped in fear , the Elites were the ones living in the upside ,not them , they feared for the lives of themselves and their family . The triads were known to be petty , they would surely pursue this matter.


    However their channel representatives told them to hang on , as the viewership numbers were through the roof , hence despite their fears they kept recording the event.


    Rudra said " Well as gentlemen , we must oblige a grandmothers request .... Let us make sure to humiliate her and the hundereds of thousands following her , and make sure that she has one more walk of shame inside Purplehaze city before this is over".


    Even the guild elders were baffled by Rudra''s boldness this time , which was very unlike his character ... However they never shyed away from showing support to the guild leader , hence loud pping and cheers followed.


    Rudraughed alongside the crowd for a while , before raising his hand for silence as he said " Triads ... You may have started this war , and you may feel like you are some kind of gangsters , better than the men and women in this room.


    Well let me break it down to you .... You may have started this war , but the Elites will damn sure finish it , and your reputation alongside with it. I dare your organization , to be able tond a single foot inside Purplehaze city.


    It''s a open challenge , soo JUST BRING IT! ".


    Rudra was fired up and his energy made?the blood of thousands inside the guild hall boil with energy as well , even those at home could feel the threat behind Rudra''s words , as they could not help but fear this madman.


    Rudra shouted " ONE FOR ALL ...


    He did not need to say more as everyone in the hall joined in


    " ALL FOR ONE , GO ELITES GO ! "


    The ceremonial chant had been chanted , the guild is ready for action!


    ------


    ( Meanwhile outside Purplehaze city)


    Broken ss , weapons , and metal shards littered the room


    Hao Mi who was watching the interview was fuming with rage after seeing what Rudra had to say . Her rage had crossed the point of hatred now to blind uncontroble rage that clouded her mind.


    How dare Rudra call her a masochist noseless old foggie .... HOW DARE HE?


    If Hao Mi hated something in life , it was being called ugly and old . But Rudra not only called her noseless ugly old foggie , but even ndered her character as a masochist who loved shame .


    She hated shame , she was extremely prideful , hence with Rudra crossing a line here , she was ready to go all out , not matter what the consequences were now. There would be no retreat. Omega was not big enough to aodate both of them together.
