Rudra patiently waited for his turn to speak , one of the problems raised during the discussion was the role of the god's chosen ,( player ) in the upcoming war.
Some voices amongst the council wanted to use the players as cannon fodders , as they beleived the overall capabilities of players to be lacking and them being blessed with immortality , their deaths had a lesser weight attached to it.
The entire time the councilmen made a single mistake that Rudra knew in his heart , which was that they assumed that the players would be willing to listen to the state in the war and act upon the directions they were given. Which was not at all the case in reality.
The player population taking part in the war was nearly 6 million. This was a huge number , which was not easy to manage , much less under a single leader.
