When the elites declared rebellion there were naturally scuffles in every major town and village , as the Elite forces had to take on the royal forces to gain complete autonomy of the region.
While everywhere except Whitecloud city the elites managed to win , under Rudra's orders Whitecloud city was abandoned.
Rudra knew that the capital was home to the best powerhouses of the kingdom , with many tier 4 giants sleeping within the city , which would be hard to take down .
Hence right from the start Rudra gave up on Whitecloud city's defense as he made it the final goal to be achieved.
Strategically increasing his grip over the enemy's supply lines and forcing them to take action and leave their positions of advantage was Rudra's way of fighting a war.
Which was exactly why he needed a three front attack , as he controlled every single supply route that went to the capital , straining the city with cut off food and other essential supplies.
