<h4>Chapter 554 The rush begins</h4>


    The Legendary item that Karna had obtained had a drop rate of 0.01% after clearing the nightmare mode of the event dungeon . However being the son of providence , he triggered that probability on the first try.


    On average the dungeon took 12 days to clear , and the overall probability was 1 in 10,000 . Which meant that a regr party would need to raid this dungeon 10,000 times , which would take around 12,000 days or around 3 1/4 years time to get this item.


    This was if a team was capable enough to clear the nightmare mode of the dungeon in the first ce.


    However the dungeon was an event dungeon avable for a limited time , which meant that it would go away after a limited time of 3-5 months . Which made the odds of getting the item even more astronomically unprobable.


    Hence it was safe to say that the elites were the only guild on the nothern continent to hold this game breaking legendary item.


    [ Supreme wood charm ] ( Legendary ) : The wearer of this item is granted the power to manifest and control 3 wooden branches at anytime at any ce for attack and defence.


    The range of attack is 50 meters and the thickness of all three branches is 4 feet.


    The branches take NO mana to operate , however they need mana to regenerate once damaged.


    Restrictions : This item can only be used by one user until death.


    The item will drop and be Destroyed once the yer wielding it dies .


    Current status ( Unbound ) : Drop blood to bind.


    The item was simply heaven defying , basically giving wood elemental powers to any yer for no cost of mana.


    The only downside being that the item will drop alongside a user''s death , which meant that the user would have to always be cautious of avoiding death lest the item be dropped.


    However that was not a concern for someone like Rudra , as Rudra seldomly died.


    Karna strongly believed that with this item in Rudra''s arsenal his prowess would go up another level!


    --------


    ( Meanwhile in Rudra''s cabin )


    2 young Elites were present in Rudra''s office as he specially selected the duo to infiltrate the enemy organization.


    In Amelia''s monitoring of dronacharya , it was revealed that he met with a mercenary group called '' Sigma Boys '' , the purpose of the meeting being to prepare for theing war.


    Hence Rudra had decided to let two of the Elite guild members to infiltrate the enemy organization and find out inside news.


    The two members he had chosen were


    1)Matthias Schmidt : A passout of the elites academy and the upstart who took on the guilds elders in the initiation ceremony.


    Apparently he had an excellent track record since then in the academy with him being positioned as a guy to enter the top 200 of the guilds ranks soon.


    2) Turner Wrath : A rookie at level 100 who is fresh out of SMG''s ck operation corps and with the highestmendation from Jhonny English.


    Apparently the guy was a prodigy and had ice flowing in his veins.


    The two of them were selected to infiltrate the '' Sigma Boys'' mercenary corps and rise through the ranks in the next one month to collect as much information as they could to aid the Elite camp.


    Calling the two in the room , Rudra said " Going undercover is always difficult , and trust me when i say this , the guild always has your back. Should you face any major problems there , the problem of one Elite is a problem for all elites and i will personally be there to rescue you guys.


    However if not , then i need you to give your 100% for this guild and find the secrets the Sigma Boys'' are hiding and fast!


    The guild needs this mission to bepleted sessfully and the two of you have been carefully chosen .


    Don''t let us down boys , we depend on you ".


    " SIR YES SIR ". The two replied in unison , courtesy of academy training as they left the guild and tried to join the mercenary group under a different alias.


    Rudra had a lot on his te now that he knew that there was a massive waring that would rock the kingdom to its core.


    The world always watched how the elites produced miracles again and again in wars , however the secret to those miracles was always the preparation that was done behind the scenes months prior to the war.


    However the odds were massively stacked against them this time.


    Although Rudra quadrupled military expenditure spending in thest 3 days and maximized army recruitment.


    The standing army of the True Elites Kingdom was only 1.5 million soldiers , with half of them being only tier 1 .


    Alongside about 500,000 elite guild members , the fighting force came to a total of 2 million. Which was still outnumbered 15 to 1 by the enemy forces . Not to mention the superior quality.


    Rudra knew that he needed weapons of mass destruction and a lot of equalizers to stand even a sliver of a chance against the entire blood merchant organization and that could only be achieved if the ruins that dronacharya ced such importance on led to the elites gaining bountiful treasures.


    With there being only 1 day till his debuff was lifted and he could start levelling again , Rudra knew that the rush to be tier 4 was on , now more than ever , as without him bing tier 4 he would not be able to exchange even 5 moves with scar-face before dying.


    However during these times of crisis his most dependable man entered his cabin with a smile on his face and a legendary ne in his arms , as with that one gift . The history of the world was about to be altered forever!
