Chapter 391: Setting the plan in motion (1/2)

Rudra set his plan in motion , procuring serpent's Dale , a poison specially created to be tasteless and odorless , was bought in bulk from Purplehaze city under millitary quota .

The scouts were already sent to enquire about the merchant responsible for getting supplies to the fort.

It was apparently a NPC corporation called Nineclouds Trade company who was responsible for military contracts , which was a small company based in the capital city of Nineclouds kingdom.

The rations were protected using military personnel , and private hired mercenaries. Hence if Rudra wanted to pull of poisoning the food , he needed to replace an entire guard division with his fake soldiers.

The security of the food itself was not the problem , however the process of poisoning it was complicated. Things like injections were not invented yet in this world , hence Rudra had to place a bulk order of injections to fatty kalash in urgent priority.

Fatty kalash cursed Rudra for this , he was an elder of the guild only in name , overall his Life was worse than most normal members , as he did not have a single day off from tiring work.

Everytime that the workload even remotely decreased Rudra would come up with something to tie him up for months.

It was good that there was a subdivision of powers created with head of departments in the guild , as Kalash had absolutely no time to look after the shop these days.

However orders were orders , kalash needed to do whatever Rudra wanted to do. Hence even if he was groaning and complaining , he already started to divulge manpower for this sudden request.

Since plastic was not invented in the game yet , all equipment was to be made of steel. Hence the furnances were blasted at full power , as every few minutes an injection was produced.

With the supply of the injections sorted out , now the only thing left for Rudra to do was to stop the incoming supply chain in some remote location ,and kill all the existing members of the group .

For this Rudra had a plan in mind. He wanted to pose as a Nineclouds captain and stop the caravan on its path under the guise of routine inspection. Then make the group leader eat a fruit he poisoned , under the guise of checking the food for poisoning.

When the carvan leader died from posioning Rudra would bring in his Hazelgroove soldiers now dressed as Nineclouds soldiers to take charge of the caravan.

The Ninecloud soldiers already protecting the caravan would also join them , blaming the merchant organization , yet they would be backstabbed and killed.

Only then would Rudra slowly extract all relevant information from the merchant group , about how to trade what to say , what the drill was , before killing them.

Rudra's way of taking the fort down was a cowards way out. But it was the smartest way out. He did not want those under him to die a pointless death .

He was not bound by honor and the like , and did not care about how the history books would remember his victory. He knew that his soldiers around him would thank him for it , and that was all that mattered to him.

Hence Rudra got the wheels running , the ploy to intercept the caravan was made , and the scouts were monitoring it.

From the conquest on Mercury village , Rudra already had access to the Nineclouds army gear , and hence the deception of being a captain was also ready. Now all he needed to do was to wait for his time to act .

( Meanwhile in China )

Jhonny was on the cieling of the building where a triad boss had supposedly entered , with his ears to the ground , as he tried to listen on what was going down there.

He could hear loud moaning sounds of a man which sounded more like a bear groaning , hence his previous conjecture that the vist was most likely for private reasons was probably correct.

What baffled Jhonny was the fact that why did a triad boss need to visit a facility for private reasons, he could just invite them to his personal loging.

This misconception was caused due to the fact that Jhonny did not know that the triad boss was actually married and these little escapades of his were carried outside to keep his wife in the dark.

Men were such creatures. Wether they were a salaryman or a triad chief , men were afriad of being caught cheating by their wives. But fickle in nature to do it anyway.

The room was well built , and the concrete was atleast 6 inches thick. Meaning that entering from the roof was not possible. Since there was no windows in the room , direct access seemed to be difficult.

Jhonny activated his IR glasses , to see a heatmap of the place. He saw that just outside the room there were 7 men gaurding a narrow corridor. With a small window at the edge of the corridor.

To most people this would seem like a hopeless situation. But for Jhonny it was as easy as a walk in the park , as for him it was just seven daggers thrown at once.

Fastening a harness to the AC shaft on the roof , Jhonny rappled his way near the window , before dropping a small vial of strong corrosive acid on the window , to create hole in the glass without making much noise.

Just as the small hole was made , the nearest guard looked over in confusion due to the sizzling noises , only for brain to be pierced through his eye by an approaching dagger.
