Chapter 390: A true strategist
Rudra did not like the prospects of launching a frontal attack on Fort Magma. The fort was too heavily fortified and at a geographically superior position to be rushed in at blindly.
The way Rudra approached this was that , on the west side of the fort , was a small path , which merchants used to bring supplies to the fort. The western part faced away from the Aquahose territory on the east and Hazelgroove on the south.
That was the critical point for this fort. And for any average commander , if he/she could somehow disrupt the supply chain , then they would have effectively taken a step to further the seige.
However Rudra was no average strategist. His mind worked different , what Rudra was interested in was exactly using these merchants to poison half the army with poisoned rations.
Rudra wanted to confront the merchant , outside Fort Magma , and along with poisoned food , get him to sneak in two of his soldiers , who would then poison the only water well inside the fort.
If successful , it would create a major crisis inside enemy camp , as antidotes will be required at the earliest.
Now this was where Rudra’s mind concocted the real plan. As the bigger ploy he was going to cook up was that of a alchemist.
Selling bulk of antidote potions in such a testing time , Rudra wanted to get personally invited into enemy camp , to set up a brewing station inside fort Magma.
This was to be achieved the same way that Karna and SMG were able to sneak into the Ninecloud kingdom treasury , using the good old appearance alteration potion.
Once Rudra was inside , he would stay there as the Alchemist , only to brew even more deadly poison as antidote , and kill as many as he could without even a fight. With his final ploy being to blow up the south side of the wall for his army to charge into.
The final fight would only happen in mere hours , however it would take days for Rudra to set up the rest of the stage. It sounded smooth on paper however rudra knew that actually executing it according to the plan he had thought about would be very difficult.
Hence , when he talked about it with his commodore they looked at him like they were looking at a mad prophet. Rudra was basically tapping into the future events , by manipulating the present events.
This is not how most military operations functioned , nor how most people thought about problems. Naturally the commodores had their reservations , but only three men were required to enter the enemy territory , hence the overall risk was low.
And Rudra being one of those three , a person blessed by the goddess of light , the risk was even lower.
Although , having reservations , the commodore’s now had a little more faith in Rudra’s plans , as they found few of their most capable men , and started to explain the impossible plan of their young lieutenant.

( Meanwhile in China)
Jhonny had finally crossed paths with a triad chief , someone who was not Hao Mi. Jhonny felt conflicted about what to do with this triad chief, as he was not his intended target
But the triads were a complete piece of trash cancer to society type people. Hence , Jhonny felt that he may go out of his way to teach them a lesson.
The triad boss was entering a adult service shop alongside 20 men gaurding him. It was unclear to Jhonny if this was a buisness visit or a pleasure one , because he did not know about the personality of the triad boss or all of his buisness connections.
Jhonny hoped it was a private visit , because there was nothing more fun than catching a target in the act and humiliating him before eventually killing him .
Jhonny already thought about the lines he would say when he barged into his private room. Which was ” Ohhh , how small , as expected of someone with no balls “.
Jhonny laughed at these thoughts , as he made his way to a nearby building and started to climb the stairs. Jhonny had decided to go airborne and enter from the roof .
Little did Jhonny know that his little roofside escapade today would change the landscape of China and make one more major enemy for the Elites.

He needed to go to the church to dispell the curse. Generally it was extremely difficult for , someone to request for the help of a cardinal to help with dispelling curses , however Rudra was someone special to the church , hence his guild members were given some special privilages inside Purplehaze city church.
Cardinal Lee politely greeted Fatty kalash as he helped him dispell the corroding darkness. Although not difficult for him , he could not help but wonder , how fatty kalash got corrupted in the first place.
The urge to ask was up till his throat , however at the end he decided against it. He had just recived news of how their honorary bishop had conquered mercury village in 14 hours.
The star of Rudra Rajput was shining brightly , and the church was happy.
