Chapter 809 The Man , The Myth , The Legend
( A few days ago , Jhonny's POV )
Jhonny was having a usual day at the camp , he and Yume stalked *cough* , educated women and demonesses together , graded their assets and giggled at inside jokes while mentaining a straight face.
It was at this moment that SMG respawned into the camp with his grey robes after his disgraceful ousting by the guild.
SMG thought he was smarter than everyone , the instant that he logged back in he used his shadow pool to submerge into the darkness of his own shadow as he moved out undetected from the camp.
Or so he thought as while he could fool everyone else , there was one man whose eyes he could not escape and that man was the greatest mercenary to have ever graced planet Earth. Jhonny English himself!
Jhonny sighed as he looked yume in the eyes and said " You know , me and you are a generation above these gaming kids and while the kids rule this gaming world as they rightfully should , there are not many 50 year olds who stand at the pinnacle of the gaming world like me and you do.
They are either casual players or lifestyle players with little to no hunger and ambition. Why don't they have ambition? I have no idea , however I can still respect those people as they have struggled a lot in their youth and just want an easy life now.
Not me and you though , because we have much more to give.
However what i cannot forgive is over-ambition from old men that leads to treason.
The SMG kid thinks he is sneaky and can merge into a pool of darkness and slither out like a venemous snake , well he thinks wrong!
Thats not going to happen on my watch!"
Yume looked confused as Jhonny activated his phaselessness to go below the surface too as he quietly followed SMG on his tail.
From the army of death camp , all the way to the capital city , Jhonny trailed SMG, returning only when he heard SMG declare that he had information for the devil at the gates of that insidious palace.
Jhonny knew his limits and while his formlessness gave him means to enter and exit even the most dangerous places at will , he did not dare enter Lucifer's palace as he could only return with information on SMG 's treason back to Rudra.
When Rudra was informed about SMG's treason he banged the table in anger as finally the last bit of compassion he had for the man was killed completely .
Uptil this moment , Rudra felt a bit remorseful for kicking out such a valuable member of the guild who had contributed so much over the years , however now his heart bled no more.
The man had no morals and the guild was a place that was 100 times better without that snake than with him.
With his plan leaked , Rudra had to come up with a new one , however no matter how he thought about it the first plan he had came up with was a masterpiece, a perfection that was hard to modify and top-up , however if there was a better strategist in the world than Shakuni of the elites , it was Shakuni of the elites himself!
Thinking heavily about it , Rudra came up with an absolutely insane plan that could only work if the enemy did not suspect a thing about Rudra already knowing that his initial plans were exposed and the only way for him to do so was to not inform even a single soul about his plan except for Jhonny English and Fatty Kalash.
If things went well , he would be able to take down Sivanthe's city with a fraction of the manpower needed in his first plan , however if things failed and his plan was exposed he would lose much more than just 30-40 million troops.

( Present day , Jhonny English)
Jhonny grinned as he admired the genius of Rudra's plan.
Due to the blueprints of the city of Sivanthe obtained by some kid , Rudra was able to spot the precise location of the grand sewage tunnel which dumped the city's sewage into the river.
cO,m Working with fatty Kalash , Rudra had made a huge net to catch all the troops that were going to be washed down in his part of the battle to be collected by Jhonny English on the sewage entrance to be led for a charge straight into the heart of Sivanthe's city without a single guard ever noticing what was going on .
If Darius or a single should doubted that there was another play in Rudra's mind then they would never have let Jhonny calmly catch one soldier at a time and regroup 4 killometers downstream from where Rudra was fighting , however everything from the soldiers jumping into the water helplessly to their helpless struggles was actually true and none of the soldiers were aware that it was all part of Rudra's grand plan.
The only way this would have failed was if Karna was not able to block the path of the ships and if sooner or later a ship would have sailed downstream and saw the massive netting in the middle of the river , however even at the cost of his own life the reliable vice guildmaster of the elites made sure that such an outcome never came to pass.
When Yume led a clueless group of 40 million men who had retreated from Rudra's battlefront to the real crossing site , they were dumbfounded to realise that the real plan started right now.
Crossing the river using the netting and the high tensile wires created by the lifestyle guild , Jhonny slowly amassed his army needed to raid and conquer Sivanthe's city .
