Once Rudra felt the atmosphere within the room to come to a point of boiling emotions he quickly revealed the potential dangers of the plan to deflate the enhanced emotions.

Rudra said " Let's now talk about the critical points for our plan to succeed.

The overall goal of the army is to create an opening for the G.o.ds to engage and kill Lucifer without any external interference.

For this our plan will need to work in five notable stages.

Stage one - We need to bring down the ma.s.sive walls of the capital.

Depending on the willingness of the G.o.d's here it can be the easiest step or the hardest one ".

Rudra looked at Hades and Omar for this answer , if the G.o.ds were willing to unleash a single tier 6 move , the wall could be destroyed within split seconds , however should they not be interested in wasting their powers on this step , it would be upto the army to bring the wall down.

Hades thought about Rudra's words for a while and after having a small chat with Omar declared " Breaching atleast one second of the wall is my responsibility. The army need not worry about this one ".

A smile broke out on Rudra's face as he heard this , Hades breaking the wall down solved a lot of problems for Rudra and to be fair it was the best path forward , for Hades breaking the wall really did not take much effort as compared to the rest of the army who needed to rely on tools and explosions and the like to punch a hole in the wall.

This was the safest way to reduce unnecessary casualties before the actual fighting began.

Rudra continued " Be grateful men , lord Hades is taking care of step one for us , which means the enemy looses anywhere from 1-4 million troops easy and we don't even need to bat an eyelid.

But then i expect the rest of us to really bring the fight to those inside the city like we have never brought a fight before.

Flood the d.a.m.n streets of the capital and force the devil to come out of the palace he so wrongfully occupies.

That will be stage 2 of our plan".

Rudra paused and let that information sink in as he elaborated" We attack in formation , tight units of attack and cover and we form balanced groups to be small squadron containing various cla.s.ses to have a versatile attacking approach.

We spread enemy forces thin and have reasonable firepower on all sides. I will share the squadron distribution to all of you commanders soon".

Saying so Rudra took up his brush and started to draw on the board.

" Phase three is the most important phase in this plan and the only one where things can go seriously wrong for us.

This is the phase where id expect the G.o.ds to have engaged in active combat and the sky being ripped to pieces.

However this is where our numbers and tier 4 generals inferiority will start showing as our forces will be started to be pushed back.

The key here is to not be pushed back too much and keep the generals and commanders engaged until Lucifer is dead , because if the intensity of the attacks slow down then Lucifer will get reinforcements and his demise would slow down , and that cannot be permitted to happen".

Everyone felt their stomachs clench in fear. n.o.body wanted to be the squadron leader whose squadron could not handle the heat and let a few generals skip by. Everyone understood the seriousness of this phase of the plan and solemnly swore internally to try their absolute best.

" Stage three also has another flaw , but that's for the G.o.ds to worry... " Rudra said as he turned to face Hades and Omar.

Rudra said " I don't beleive Lucifer will come out to fight you both in open battle without some trick under his sleeve.

If the devil did not think he could win this fight , he would not be coming out to fight . The fact that he is still in the capital shows that he has the confidence to take both of you down together.....

If you guys fall , we are as good as dead ".

A grim reality was presented by Rudra.The fact of the matter was that this was completely depended on the fight between the G.o.ds and Lucifer.

If Hades or Omar fell in battle , it was going to be the end for the army of death and the battle in h.e.l.l.

Hades nodded and said " Naturally i understand this better than you do pope , i have known the devil for a long time and i know that sneaky ba***** won't show up if he did not have the confidence to win.

But i have waited over two millenium for this fight , and i would naturally not be showing upto the battlefield if i did not have confidence in defeating him.

I could have done it alone , but with the beast king with us , the chances are just much higher ".

Rudra closed his eyes and hoped that Hades's words held merit. This was a fight that was wayy beyond the league of the rest of the army , it was not something strategy or hidden cards could ever hope to conquer.

Moving on Rudra said " Phase four : Support the G.o.ds in their battle. This is why i have called the commanders and the thirty of you specifically into this room.

You are the people i want to disengage from your fights and come help the G.o.ds if the need arises.

This phase is auxiliary in nature , and depending on your own battle situations you may or maynot be able to respond to this.

But in my opinion those gathered today in this war room are the strongest in the army of death and i hope that all of us here will be contributing to the demise of the devil ".

Rudra read the faces of everyone present and he could see the doubt and the anxiety on their faces. Rudra was asking for too much.

However it was what it was and Rudra could not sugarcoat this one for them. Hence at last he presented the last and final phase of the battle.

He said " Phase five starts when the devil dies and it's a swift phase.

The G.o.ds have to establish dominance , and all of those at tier 4 and higher who are alive and have the power to unleash one last grand move must do so to make a grand statement, that resistance now is futile.

I'm sure Hades will be able to take his throne back without much issues , but we still have to ensure the rebelling demons lay down their weapons.

Phase 5 is the cleanup phase and the one that will see this war concluded ".

Rudra laid down the five step plan and made it crystal clear about what the troops had to focus on and why.

He pointed out all the key indicators of the war and where failure was going to be extremely fatal.

After a question answer session to clear all doubts , Rudra concluded the war meeting as the orders were rallied for marching.

The army marched in a total of three days time to start the fight of their lives.
