The mist potions were starting to loose effect as little by little the haze was starting to clear out. The Elites were slowly but surely starting to be pushed back , or soo they made it seem .

The Elites had a battered look on their faces, and with more than 45,000 alliance members still standing , they were in an overall disadvantage .

Most of the standing Elites were at 50% Hp or less , with only some players and assasins being above 70% , but that was because they did not engage in gruelling combat.

When the fog started to clear , the assasins started to loose their edge as more and more of them were caught and killed .

It seemed that the Elites were out of tricks and that the tides of war were turning. Scorpio saw a glimmer of hope , as he ordered the troops to start pressing on the Elites.

Being pushed at a greater speed , the Elites had difficulty retreating safely , the veil of the fog?now clear enough to see 20 meters .

More and more Elites fell , as the enemies started to attack the tripod formation from the sides, the two files under Karna and Neatwit suffered heavy causalities , Rudra's middle file was mostly intact , but they were under a lot of pressure.

The tripod started to compress as the initial distance of 1 meter between members was reduced to half.

Scorpio was delighted to see the Elites dying one after the other.?His army's numeric superiority coming to full play!

Scorpio became exited as he ordered a full charge from the army , the Elites looked as if they had no option left as they broke formation to desperately retreat.

It was at this moment that guild leader Fernandes of OriginalManchester?had a bad premonition in his gut.?It seemed too easy , they seem to be forgetting something.

And indeed forgetting they were , suddenly a waze of spells hit their frontline!

BOOM , BOOM , BOOM !

Fireballs rained from the air!

The Elites wizard unit had started to take action! The fog cleared completely and the alliance army had a view of what they were missing.

They did not understand how in the dense fog they had little by little moved towards the ocean as they now realized that they were far too close .

In their last moments where they had charged at the Elites desperate to crumple them completely , they had covered close to 50 meters in ground and now they were under the range of the Ship's archballistae's.

When a rain of arrows started to pour on the army , it was at that moment that they realized their mistake.

It was at that moment that Scorpio knew that he f***** up !

Rain of arrows started to pierce the Enemy as they scrampled in retreat , but boy o boy how could Rudra let that happen!

He quickly took out the poison mist potions and threw them deep inside the enemy lines .

There was a dense layer of posion mist that broke out in the enemys retreat path , as they were left with no safe path to retreat.

For a moment there the army was utterly confused in what to do , the moment they breathed the posion they felt weak and nauseated , but the loss of HP wasnt too much .

However the arrows of the Elite's were deadly. It was at this moment that Rudra also threw the paralysis most potions into enemy lines , and coupled with the wide area covered by poison mist , the 40% movement debuff of the paralysis mist had a deadly effect.

Not having the courage left to cross the area of poison + paralysis mist , the alliance members were left like lambs to slaughter. Some tried to cross the area , some tried to turn around and attack the Elites , however most were undecided and under constant shower of arrows.

The eyes of the Elites changed from preys to hunters as those who tried to turn to attack them were slaughtered mercilessly.

It was a tactical nightmare for the alliance , the wizards kept downing advanced mana potions and kept up the relentless assault of AOE spells. Most injured Elites got a breather and used advanced healing potions to regain lost HP.

Medivh even forked out another sea of fire , his last one possible , to lay rest to a lot of alliance members.

The Assasins and the Wizard division of the True Elites had lived up to their name , as they shined bright in this section of the war. The might of a wizard under a constant stream of mana was terrifying , however the Elites were an exception for having such an endless stream of potions for each of their wizards.

By the time the poison mist cleared and a few stragglers were able to retreat.?The standing army of 45,000 was cut down to 9247 members.3590 of them injured and under 50% hp. To the Elites having 127 members 17 on the ship and 110 on the battlefield.

Excluding the 10 wizards. There were 40 assaulters and 60 assasins on the battlefield.

It was at this moment that Rudra finally shifted from being the strategist to being the absolute incarnation of god of war , this was the number he was confident in dealing with.?It was time to duke it out man to man .

In a scene that will be remained forever etched in the memories of everyone watching worldwide forever , 110 Elites charged at the retreating alliance army of 9247 to reap their lives!
