Chapter 398: A Tactical Genius (1/2)

The Hazelgroove forces stormed the north gate to fort Magma , as a frantic effort began from the defenders to push the invaders out of the fort and secure the gates once again.

But the moment the main army stormed inside the base , it was practically over. The Hazelgroove soldiers were wayy superior to their Nineclouds counterparts and could also rival the mercenaries from the triads. In short , the quality advantage was non existent , and the tactical advantage was also gone.

With Rudra's initial plan of poisoning coming to fruition , the numerical advantage was also gone! Meaning that it was only a matter of time before the slaughter turned one sided.

And that was indeed the case , within one hour of the gates breached , the soldiers of Nineclouds kingdom were in a frantic retreat , as more and more areas of the fort fell to the enemy.

It was a chaotic battlefield , however an Hazelgroove win seemed to be set in stone at this point , and that was indeed what happened , in the next two hours the entire place was a complete wipe.

Rudra immediately ordered the men to secure the gates and man the walls , as he knew that before they coul gain a complete control over the fort , the Aquahose Kingdom forces were sure to act .

And that was indeed what happened , 4 hours later , just as they had barely consolidated their position inside fort Magma , Aquahose forces were at their foot.

However , Rudra was not an incapable general , he was already prepared for this , as the eastern wall was completely stocked with archers , who rained carnage onto the Aquahose soldiers on the foot of the hill.

The Aquahose general could only look on in horror , as his mind could not comprehend as to how a fort as terrifying as fort Magma , fell within hours. Soo much soo that the enemy even had time to consolidate.

15 minutes later and at a cost of 2000 soldiers dead , the general asked his forces to retreat. There was no poin in attacking Fort Magma at this point where the enemy had already consolidated their position. It was akin to Asking for death.

Hence in this way , Rudra had successfully captured fort Magma!

( Meanwhile , somewhere in Nineclouds kingdom )

The news of Fort Magma falling had already reached Hao Mi , who was not happy about it in the slightest. To know that the Elites were the ones behind it was adding fuel to fire.

She was absolutely livid , as she read the report she could not beleive the ridiculous things stated as a reason for defeat.

Rudra's schemes were such , that to a third person , they felt like it was an obvious trap , that the ones who fell in the trap were dumb , whereas if it was someone like them , they would never fall for it.

But that is not true , Rudra's plan although sounds ridiculous on paper , was actually extremely methodical and precise. His ability to estimate the chain of events that followed a particular event was unparalled.

That is the only reason why Rudra could plan soo far. As he knew exactly what the enemy would be thinking at all times.
