Rudra's scheme was too intricate and detailed , nobody would think of manipulating hundereds of thousands , just to conquer a simple village.
Rudra wanted to take down Mercury village in a single day. Mercury village was one of the beginner villages , ran by a NPC . Hence it was not a player controlled region.
Using this fact as his advantage , Rudra decided to spread a rumor about mercury village. Contacting his Elite academy students , Rudra gave them one order , which was to anonymously spread a rumor on the forums , that gold coins randomly spawned on the streets of the beginner village of Mercury.
Along with it , post some videos of some people indeed finding a coin and crying in joy. Rudra wanted to create a complete social media scandal . Appointing all the combat division recruits to randomly keep dropping coins inside the village mercury , and keep filming and posting the reactions of other genuine parties who found it on the forums.
