Chapter 393 - Poisoning Fort Magma
Rudra took the caravan leader , and said in a voice that every single citizen and soldier could hear " MISTER TENTEN , YOU HAVE BEEN SUSPECTED TO POISON THE FOOD SUPPLIES GOING TO FORT MAGMA .... WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY IN YOUR DEFENSE? ".
The caravan leader was baffled as he stumbled for words " I ..... Me? .... No .... Why ..... LIES! "
SLAP !
Rudra gave a tight slap to Caravan leader tenten when he said the word lies . As he said " Deputy.... Being the fruit! ".
The deputy acted like he picked a random fruit from the supplies , however he actually picked the predetermined poisoned fruit .
Rudra said " You will eat this fruit and you will eat it now! ".
He squinted down on the carvan leader , who was sweating buckets now.
The caravan leader with trembling hands took a bite of the fruit , as under everyone's watchful gaze he swallowed the fruit.
One second passed .... Then two .... Then the third ...
After ten seconds the leader said " See I am oooo... "
THUD.
He fell to the ground , foaming from his mouth , the caravan leader died from choking on his own vomit.
( SHRIEKS AND SCREAMS) were heard by the citizens of the merchant organization in the caravan , who were terrified after seeing their leader die.
Rudra said " sieze the goods , arrest the citizens , we don't know who all are involved in this scandal ".
The deputy repeated " ARREST THEM SONS OF B****".
All soldiers , wether fake or real then proceeded to arrest the normal citizens and tie them to trees with rope for later questioning.
Just as this was done , ambush was done by Hazelgroove kingdom soldiers dressed as bandits. As Rudra rallied the command " BANDITS! ".
Everyone was instantly on guard , however more than half of them were actually Rudra's soldiers anyway , as the fight began , the Ninecloud soldiers were mercilessly backstabbed and killed , as the complete control of the caravan fell under Rudra.
Tranquilizing the citizens , the remaining soldiers changed their appearances to normal citizens , as Rudra left food and water for them when they woke up , and left the normal citizens to enjoy the open wind of the forest for a while , as he took over the caravan.
The journey started , with Rudra now becoming the fake caravan leader tenten , the original transport papers in hand , with a fake deputy in tow , and a complete soldier unit made up of Hazelgroove kingdom soldiers towards fort Magma.
Enroute , seven soldiers were continually poisoning the supplies , injecting poison inside the fruits and vegetables as ordered by Rudra through the special device called injections.
The fruits started to look even more plump and delicious after the infusion of poison , as about 3 kms out from fort Magma , those who were not dressed as Nineclouds soldiers disembarked , with the poison food caravan marching uninterrupted.
When the first scout station saw the approaching caravan , he saw the familiar tenten at the lead and the deputy with him as per the norms , hence found nothing odd and raised no flags.
Rudra was able to reach close to 500 meters from fort , after which he was significantly slowed down as he had to make his way through a sea of barricades meant to slow down enemy charge at the gates and shower them with projectiles.
Rudra had his eyes of truth activated , as he could see the structural flaws inside the walls of fort Magma . He was studying the fort quite intently as this was a good opportunity for him to learn more about the place soon to be under him .
When he finally made his way to the gate , a voice came saying " HALT "
Soon through a single man metal door from the massive west gate , came a captain to greet the caravan leader.
He said " Tenten my friend ... "
Thankfully Rudra had his eyes of truth or else the act would have ended here itself as he said " Captain Morgan ".
The two men smiled at each other , as he said " what did you bring this time my friend? ".
Rudra replied " The finest grapes , apples and peaches and those green vegetables too ".
Morgan laughed as he said " Alright , it's only a formality but i need to see the transit papers ".
Rudra said " Indeed". And produced the documents.
Rudra asked " Is the war too serious? ".
Morgan looking at the papers said " So- so , the Hazelgroove weaklings can never take down fort Magma , it's a pipedream , the Aquahose cunts are supporting us too , nothing to worry ".
Rudra got a crucial piece of information here , as he asked no more questions to not arouse suspicion as he said " I see , I am releived ".
Morgan laughed again , as he closed the papers and said " What you worried about mate , your security will not be compromised , we even give you a Deputy and soo many soldiers ! ".
Then Morgan looked at the soldiers following the carvan and his smile vanished as he asked " Why are there twenty men less .. DEPUTY get your a** here ".
The deputy rode his horse near as he gave the captain a salute .
Tenten said " We had a bandit ambush captain , the deputy tried his best , but we lost a few men ".
The deputy said " I take full blame for this , they were brave men".
Seeing the atmosphere Morgan frowned , then he nodded , it was indeed common for such large Caravans to be attacked by bandits , but Morgan did not understand which group had became soo bold to attack military carvans
Morgan said " Impudent bandits .... One day I will wipe them all out. Alright dismissed ! '".
However the deputy did not go , instead he said " captain I have a request , if I so dare".
Morgan raised an eyebrow and said " Go on ... ".
The fake deputy said " two of my men have suffered grevious injuries in the fight , and our healer has died , can they stay in the fort for a couple of days as they must be nursed back to health ".
Morgan looked at the deputy in appreciation , as he said " Ofcourse , you are a good leader ".
With this the supplies were taken inside fort Magma and two injured soldiers were given treatment in the infirmary , as the rest of the group took their leave.
The mission was a success , and as soon as Rudra and the rest were outside the sentry range , they ditched the disgusting Nineclouds gear and bolted towards mercury village.
That night , large amounts of poison were dumped into the drinking well , by the injured soldiers ... Who supposedly could not even move.
The plan was a success .... However Rudra had another unexpected gain from it ... One that he did not initiall anticipate , one that would help him go a long way.
Part one of the mission had been completed .... FORT MAGMA HAD BEEN POSIONED!

( Meanwhile in real world )
Bo had just regained consciousness today , as he saw a smiling Skyla by his bedside. The first thing Bo said was ... " How is the Mrs who saved my life? ".
Skyla 's smile was washed off as she said " dead ".
Bo closed his eyes again as a tear escaped from his eye as he solemnly asked " Who ..? "
Skyla said " Unclear , but we suspect Mithun Ambani and the triads involved".
Bo remained silent for a moment and said " I'll make them pay ".
Skyla laughed , then looked at Bo , and laughed again .
Which annoyed Bo who thought Skyla was looking down on his ability , as he said " What! What's soo funny ... ".
Skyla patted his head and turned on the tv infront of him . It was international news .
' Today's BREAKING NEWS the third triad boss Xing Zao Mi has been confirmed to be killed by an unknown assassin , emasculated after his death , it is a big blow to the prestige of the biggest crime syndicate of China ..... '
Bo was baffled at first , but soon his mind became clear , he understood that there was only one man in this world capable of pulling this off , his idol , the greatest mercenary .... Jhonny English.
It was not that Skyla was laughing at him , but rather at the fact that , he might not even get a chance , as they will all be dead within the near future!
Bo felt emotions bubbling inside him , as Skyla said " yes he walked out of retirement after you fell into coma . He stayed by your side during your critical care time , refusing to go away , then one day he left the country , next we know a triad boss is dead ... You are very lucky Bo , you have English as your backer ".
