The moment Hades Walked out of the infirmary the rest of the elites rushed in.

" Guildmaster are you okay?

"

" Guildmaster are you alive?

"

" Guildmaster are you insane?

"

" Guildmaster guildmaster guildmaster

".

" Why are you on the bed looking so pathetic boy?

" Jhonny said as he looked at the medicine drips extending into Rudra's veins and all the disgusting black tar that covered his sweat glands.

Rudra looked more like a coalmine worker who had just came out of a 12 hour workshift than a patient in the infirmary, however even after being sponged every 2 hours he excreted a lot of mana blockades from his body every hour.

The elites swarmed the bed of their guildmaster as the thin doctor tried to stop them to no avail.

Rudra was happy to see his fellow guildmaster however they had literally swarmed him and left him no breathing room at all which was why he had to loudly say

" EASY THERE BOYS , BACK OFF

".

Everyone backed off and gave Rudra some breathing room , and Rudra carefully looked at everyone with a smile as he started to discuss buisness as usual.

The very first thing Rudra asked for was war reports , as he asked for a map and a paper as he started to track and draw and summarise the epic battle of the other day.

All in all it seemed that the enemy had lost the city of Sivanthe and a total of 114 million demon lives , whereas the army of death lost nearly 23 million with all of tier tier 1 and 2 cannon fodders being completely wiped out.

In short it was a sweeping victory and currently work was being done to make a makeshift bridge to cross the river out of wood so that the camp maybe transferred from here to the city of Sivanthe.

Rudra knew at this moment now that capturing the fort of Mirzapur would no longer prove to be an undoable challenge as even with his absence , through the sheer amount of troops at the disposal of the army of death the rest of the demon commanders should atleast be able to take control of the two small villages and the fort in the coming 2 months.

With supply chains set up and a stronghold on both sides of the river it was a highly favourable position for the army of death to expand onwards now and once the fort would be captured then nearly three Battlefronts would open for the army of death to attack the capital city from.

At the start of the war Rudra had not dreamed to once stand at this stage with this much success however with an overall loss of strength of only 35 million troops and with over 100 million strong left in the army , Rudra was satisfied with the progress so far as his initial estimations would mean he would be having a force of 80 million at maximum at this point in the war.

This gave the other commanders a breathing room in the fight to take down fort of Mirzapur and greatly increased the odds of an eventual victory once the actual capital fight began. Lucifer was currently hit hard with his first and second commander dead , his army in shambles and a majority part of his forces missing.

Although the devil himself was strong on his own , he was not strong enough to control all of hell without strong underlings and Rudra 's systemic elimination of his underlings meant that the throne of hell on which the devil sat had started to become shaky .

Rudra was supposed to go to heaven to train with the angels soon and he also had to meet his wife in the real world before that happened so he wanted to end his duties as the first commander quickly.

He praised Jhonny for his good work , requested Hades to recall Karna once more and organized a meeting with the other commanders to talk about potential strategies to take down the fort of Mirzapur.

Rudra was treated with the same respect as the god's were within the army of death camp now , as while the other commanders were a bit cold to his authority at the start , now they took his suggestions as the gospel and created the whole framework upon his ideas.

It was both cute and shocking for Rudra to see as just 4 months ago Asmodeus was frowning at his very sight and squabbling with him over the title of the first commander however now he was fighting with others to understand the nonexistent ' Deeper meaning ' behind his simple words.

Rudra came to know through the forums that Max was a part of the war effort too and saw a video of him rallying troops as Rudra felt incredibly proud of his little brother and a tear of joy escaped his eye when he saw it.

He could see the traces of his own accent when Max spoke to the men and Rudra chuckled at the resemblance.

One of his biggest goals in his second life was to be a role model for Max to follow and now that he could see it in implementation Rudra felt beyond proud of himself.

Max was a genuine star in Rudra's mind, unlike himself he had no cheats to rely for his fame and success which was why he beleived Max deserved every last bit of it.

Not realising that young men were easily impressionable and that fame at a young age was as much of a burden as a boon , otherwise Rudra would have curbed the fame to the boot right this moment.

It was a mistake that Rudra would pay for many many years down the line for.
