<h4>Chapter 596 Rules Of War</h4>


    Dronacharya frowned , Rudra did not give him the surprised face he was looking for , nor did he give him the '' Oh i know you .... '' stare . Rudra just rolled his eyes at him as if he was a nobody.


    '' You have no idea who nned your guilds demise ! Hah ''. Thought dronacharya as he folded his army and squinted his eyes towards Rudra , taunting him to do his best .


    Rudrapletely ignored the idiot as he said to Scar-face " What do you want ? ".


    This was negotiation 101 by Rudra.


    Rule number 1 of a bargain was to never say what you wanted first and to let the enemy disy their needs first.


    Doing so the one who goes second always has an upper hand in the conversation as they know the enemies upper line first.


    Scar face said " I don''t expect this war tost longer than a day . But we will make the contract for 3 days.


    My demands are simple:


    1) There will be no fighting after the sun sets until the sun rises.


    2) There will be no attack to one''s private parts under any circumstances.


    3) Waterboys and gmen will not be attacked.


    4) The banning of bio-weapons and bombs.


    Rudra chuckled hearing thest demand. It seemed like the enemy had did their homework and they did not want to face any more of the mines that the elites had set for them . Hence they wanted to take that asset from the elites.


    Rudra said " I can agree to the time period of 3 days , as frankly speaking you people will be still struggling to get past these walls after 3 days and we will be standing here , right at this ce again , negotiating the same terms.


    For your first three conditions , i find them honorable and agree to them . Howevere-on thest condition is just in ridiculous i will not have it".


    Scar-face was not shocked he epted the fact that Rudra was not going to ept hisst condition, however he was still going to press on it nheless .


    Before he could say anything else though , Rudra said " Now as for my conditions :


    1) Win Or Lose , my people will not be enved and so will your men.


    Regardless of the oue , we started this war as free men and we will go out of the war free men.


    2) The blessed will be allowed to seek the blessings of goddess Beniogre every night after the war stops.


    3) Ban all long range weapons of over 15 feet in height.


    It was Rudra''s turn to make ridiculous demands as he hoped that scar-face would get too hung-up on condition 3 and not focus on the underlying meaning behind condition 2.


    Rudra knew that Scar-Face was never going to ban the giant machines that hurled therge balls to take down the Walls Of the Purplehaze city , however he hoped that in debating point 3 he would not focus on condition 2 which was Rudra using sophistry to trick the yers to respawn every night.


    During times of war , the blessing of Goddess Beniogre was unavable as death was permanent during the war duration.


    Technically rebirth was one of the many blessings of Beniogre , hence should Scar-Face not think much about it as per how Rudra phrased it , the advantage that the elites could gain from such a condition would be game changer.


    If Rudra had 30% confidence in winning without that condition he would easily have 70% confidence with this condition in ce.


    It was a reincarnation trick that he had picked up , as in one of the continental wars a yer by the name of '' Sam Billings '' had used this trick to majorly change the oue of the war , as the yers kept respawning and the enemies kept loosing numbers.


    Scar-face''s first reaction was exactly as Rudra wanted it to be as he said " Absolutely not , condition 3 is just in ***** , i will not have it. As for one and two i ag....".


    When he was on the cusp of agreeing dronacharya pulled his hand firmly as scar-face was forced to turn .


    Scar-face furiously red at Dronacharya who immediately panicked as he shrieked " Mer...Mer...mercy ... Bbbut i have something important to say ".


    Rudra frowned as he saw this . He was so close to scamming scar-face and now the clown was hindering his work .


    Scar-face and Dronacharya talked in length for over 2 minutes as when they returned scar-face said " Like i was saying , i agree to condition number one , but two and three are just in garbage ".


    Rudra''s frown deepened as he gave dronacharya a suspicious re , as for the first time Rudra had a strong gut feeling that told him that the guy standing opposite to him was a reincarnator.


    An excellent yer who was low-key and always prepared for the right opportunity as if he knew about it in advance.


    At the auction the item that was worthless in others eyes , the key to the ancient ruins was also bid fervently by the man as if he knew about the true value of the item in advance and now he also foiled a scheme of Rudra that most people should not be aware of .


    The smug expression on his face only intensified after the hateful look that Rudra gave him , as he prided himself in foiling Rudra''s schemes .


    The news that surrounded this trickery was quite profound in his past life , hence parax had memory of the incident.


    When Rudra tried to scam scar-face using it , dronacharya knew immediately that it was bad news as he risked angering scar-face to stop him from agreeing from this term and he was sessful in doing so.


    The happiness that arose in his heart after foiling Rudra''s n was immense , as he could break into song any moment. However he was waiting for his time when he would be the king of the true Elites Kingdom to dance in joy , as for now he eagerly awaited the demise of his arch - enemy.


    After a little back and forth , the four basic humane conditions were the only things that the two leaders agreed on as they signed a war contractsting for 3 days and 2 nights , under which these rules will be system enacted.


    However even here , Rudra came out as the biggest winner , as following the end of the war contract , there was apulsory 10 minute time period of sieze fire.


    By signing a war -contract , Rudra had virtually assured a one time 10 minute window for yer respawn , as at the end of day3 of fighting , he now had the option to bring back his forces to life.


    This was a big win for Rudra and the Elites who walked out of signing the war contract as the winners.


    Although for an army asrge as the blood merchants . The first use of siezefire once the sun went down was a big bonus , as stamina and HP could be restored every night for the majority of the force greatly reducing casuality rate in such a prolonged war , all the other uses were extremely basic that did not benefit either party much.


    But for Rudra a night off meant that a night that he could reorganize and ren the next days strategy hence in a way it was an advantage to him as well .


    With both sides having trickery and deciet behind their seemingly just contracts the biggesy loophole of the war - contract was that only the twopeting forces and their registered allies were under the effects of the contract. Which meant that the Shaman was not under its effects as a third party.


    This was the greatest source of confidence for scar-face to win the war in under a day , as when the sun would go down and the fighting would end officially . That would be the time that the shaman would convert the fallen into monsters and force the elites to fight through a sleepless night , only to face the fresh blood merchants once the sun came up again!


    With the world''s attention on the war , the contract came under effect once the sun came up and day one officially started in 2 hours.


    With war machines assembled and the battle contract signed , both the sides were ready to sh.


    The countdown to one of thergest wars in the history of the continent had now officially started ....
