Chapter 400 - High Praise
The news of Rudra taking over fort Magma and beating back a consequent attack by Aquahose Kingdom reached Hazelgroove kingdom.
The tier three lieutenant's could not beleive their ears when they heard that Rudra captured fort Magma in under 10 hours!
What seemed impossible for everyone was achieved by this man. Who completed the three year long mission given to him in under 30 days!
Emperor Cervantez was especially pleased to hear this news , as he grinned from ear to ear , he had firmly placed his trust in Rudra against all advice from his advisors and lieutenants .
Emperor Cervantez was a solid judge of character who knew exactly how to evaluate a man. He was glad to know that his evaluation of Rudra was not wrong.
Many people fail to live upto their true potential , although being capable of achieving great heights they could become mediocre in life at best?however , Rudra was not one of them, he was a Bonafide star meant to shine.
An emperor was only as good as his subordinates and with the won knights under Cervantez , the brother sister duo , the time looked ripe for the rise of Hazelgroove kingdom!
The Emperor pumped with the news of victory , decided to appropriately reward the first division soldiers , it's captains , commodores and Rudra appropriately. While ordering them to stay put for the time being.
Cervantez had a solid plan for capturing Nineclouds kingdom , where he would in person participate in the capture of the capital city. However now was not the time for it.
He wanted to make Nineclouds kingdom desperate before taking an action himself. Because even if he was tier 5 , he was not the only one in the world. If Nineclouds kingdom was able to take help of some expert , unless his army was capable enough to win despite of his presence he would not attack recklessly.
It was the only reason why , he did not directly charge into enemy territory and sieze it , despite having the power to do so.
In a war , everyone has to fight their own battles themselves , his presence could tilt the odds in Hazelgroove kingdom's favour , however his absence could also adversely affect it.
Hence why he was patient untill more and fort fell towards the capital city.
With fort Magma under their control now , it was easy to launch operations into both Nineclouds and Aquahose kingdoms.
Currently between Fort Magma and the capital of Raincloud city , there were 2 villages and one fort to be captured . Initially he expected it to take five years to reach that point , but with Rudra's Swift victories the game had changed .
It would take a maximum of 2 years to achieve it now , or at a minimum of what Rudra could pull out of his hat.
However , the lieutenant needed a well deserved rest after all his hard work . Hence Cervantez decided to take a 3 months break before assigning Rudra on further conquests.
However tonnes of gold and silver were rewarded to Rudra for his contributions in the war by the state , along with public glory , as he was hailed as a hero by the citizens of Hazelgroove.
Rudra's increased reputation had many benefits for the elites as more and more NPC'S flocked to the city , because of the good name of the mayor ruling it , increasing the workforce and taxpayers for the elites.

( Meanwhile in china)
Jhonny was closing in on his next target ,which also happened to be his most important one yet. It was the attack on the heart of Hao Mi 's base in Shanghai.
An entire area , the size of the upside , controlled completely by the triad . A place where even the bravest men feared to enter , he waltz in alone , unprotected.
Whoever dare laid eyes on Jhonny walking in his pitch black longcoat , had their eyes pierced by his daggers , as Jhonny scaled a building to take a grasp of the map around here.
The place mostly had dark alleys and shady buisness going all around. Women were being banged in the open by multiple men , while streetfighting to death occured in the open streets.
In the centre of this chaotic place was a huge mansion , heavily guarded , presumably belonging to Hao Mi herself.
Jhonny looked on with his binoculars , thinking about the best way to break into the area without being noticed , as thoughts of massacaring everyone in that barbed villa crossed his mind.
Jhonny English was not someone you could afford to offend and today the triads leader Hao Mi would first hand understand why....

( Meanwhile in an undisclosed facility )
The production of the secret equipment had moved onto the next stage , where the Elite guild members replaced the common workers , in full-time manual labour to erect the secret structure.
According to Fatty Kalash's calculations , the structure would take exactly 60 days to complete , and considering that the war was 64 days away ,it was a very slim margin that he had of only 4 days.
Even a slightest production delay , or redo will completely detail the project. Hence intense focus and determination were needed to make it happen . Which was provided by the Elite workers who put their back into it day in and day out.
Rudra's secret structure was a game changer , and the key to completely annihilate the triads come judgement day.
