( The war room )


    The war room this time was especially tense and jam packed. It had many key characters of the war present and there was pin drop silence as nobody even dared to breathe too loud fearing they might disturb Rudra''s thought process.


    Towards the head of the war table , Omar and Hades sat silently sipping expensive wine as a servant constantly refilled their sses.


    They had a very refined way of drinking their wine, because of maybe thousands of years of drinking experience.


    Like elegant nobles they would swirl the wine around and then take a sip of the exotic vour after inhaling the aroma first.


    Their drinking was soo refined that Beelzebub was visibly salivating to drink some of that wine as drool dripped from his face.


    All fivemanders were present in the war-room, and alongside them sat Jhonny English and Karna.


    Apparently both of them had earned their ce in the war room because of their heroics and upon Rudra''s invitation in the corner of the room stood nearly 30 tier 4 generals who Rudra deemed important enough to brief the n.


    While the god''s enjoyed their drinks , and the othermanders nkly started at the map of the terrain , looking at how much territory they had gained in how much time , the others nervously shifted their weight from feet to feet however tried to mentain a straight face and made no sound as the main character of the room clutched his head and wracked his brains.


    Unlike other meetings where everyone gave some input or the other , by the time the final fight rolled around everyone knew who was basically running the show now , and everyone understood that any n would be infinitely better if Rudra crafted it untainted from external pollution , as his brain was the single biggest asset that the army of death had.


    Rudra''s wings were currently a viral sensation globally , everyone wanted to know how he converted his race as it was one thing that was deemed to be impossible in Omega, however Rudra obviously did not care about all the buzz surrounding him at all , with him beingpletely upied with the fighting in hell.


    Finally after two hours of awkward silence , Rudra finally broke the ice as he said " Alright listen up , this is the n .... ".


    Everyone immediately jolted straight as they looked at Rudra with absolute attention and even the god''s put their chalices aside as they leaned towards the ckboard that had the map drawn as Rudra painted on it with a paintbrush.


    " Lucifer has called back his troops from the western borders however we have recieved news that after the fall of the city of Sivanthe the devil''s terror amongst his subordinates had reduced and many have decided to not send aid to the devil betting on the oue that he will loose this war.


    If I''m being honest , that is a really intelligent bet to be made". Rudra said , giving the other context of the situation as the tier4 generals felt enlightened by this new piece of information.


    " Even so , the devil has a standing army of 145 million troops , of which 75 million are tier 1 and 2 , and only 70 million are tier 3. With a total of 1200 tier 4 generals and 6 tier 5manders and he himself at tier 6 ". Rudra broke down the enemy numbers reported by multiple scouts , and confirmed by his god''s eyes.


    " Us on the other hand have nearly 80 million tier 3 soldiers , 240 tier 4 generals , 5 tier 5manders but we have 2 God''s with us ". Rudra deliberately did not mention the tier 2 troops they had , because he did not want to dampen the morale.


    " It''s not overwhelminglyrge of a disparity if we break it down and to be fair , i was prepared for much worse". Rudra gave them his analysis of the situation albeit a little optimistic version of it.


    The biggest problem right nowid in the fact that the enemy had 1200 tier 4 generals which were nearly six times as much as the army of death did.


    However Rudra was confident in dealing with all six of the tier 5manders should the need arise and confident in beating them all down with his strength.


    Having already killed the number one and number twomander of the enemy forces and having gotten significantly stronger since , Rudra had much more confidence in his own skills , which left all the other tier 5 generals to bnce the odds out.


    Rudra hoped that eventhough they would not be able to neutralize all of the enemy tier 4 generals they could still prolong the battle until Lucifer was yn , as the key to winning this war was not routing the enemy but ying the devil.


    " As all of you know , the goal in this war is not to y the demonkind , the goal here is to kill the devil Lucifer.


    Thankfully for all of us present here , that is the job of the two god''s sitting amongst us and not our own job and trust me when i say this , against the two of them the devil is at a disadvantage." Rudra said with conviction, his passion slowly energizing everyone in the room.


    " The goal this time is to push the enemy forces back , even at the cost of our lives and create an opening for the gods to take down Lucifer and assist them as best as we can.


    The goal is to not let the demons minions interfere as the gods take the devil apart and make him pay for all the crimes against humanity and the demonkind over the past 2000 years and i swear , HE SHALL PAY! ".


    Rudra''s passion spread like wildfire in the room and everyone instantly became passionate to kill the devil.


    Rudra had a certain charm that way , he was an eloquent speaker.
