When the mercenaries from Hao Mi's faction arrived , the battle took a standstill. One on one , the elites could overpower their opponents , much to the surprise of the enemy , however there were wayy too many of them for the fight to be one on one.

The fight was a huge face slap for the triad mercenaries as the more they fought , the more they realized that even five of them were not as good as one Elite and these are the people who prided themselves in being the best of the best.

Before engaging in this fight , the triad members always thought that , it is only because they did not participate in events like the VR Olympics , that the world did not know of them , otherwise there was no special difference between them and the so called Elites.

But the truth could not be further off , they were not as good as the Elites , be stats , equipment or even combat proficiency. This agitated the crowd well.

Especially Rudra was drowned in a sea of triad enemies , as their boss especially hated the leader of the Elites and the one to kill him would enjoy very generous benefits .

However , Rudra was the worst enemy to pick on this battlefield , with stats that surpassed the mortal man , Rudra was already someone initiated on the path of cultivation , his mind and body had already sharpened beyond normal human , and his fight clearly displayed that fact.

Rudra was a one man army , no doubt about it , even the best mercenaries from the triads could only take two to three blows from him at the maximum.

That was untill their leader came to face Rudra. As the others created some space.

The man said " I am the traid deputy leader Xin Dao , here to avenge the humiliation of my master , Shakuni , prepare for your demise ".

Saying soo the man started to scream as he took some kungfu type stance , In his hands was a small dagger , as he had his one leg raised above ground.

Then the man started to dance from toe to toe , as he gauged Rudra.

Yume instantly recognized the move , it was the Kung fu move of the snake dance , very effective to fight one v one.

Xin Dao said " Huh , you were charging soo boldly at other enemies , but when you see a real man , you can't help but feel your balls come to your throat can you ".

Rudra looked at this idiot and sighed. As he instantly used blink followed by world Slash. The Kung fu panda was sent to his death by a single move , as Rudra completely ignored the incident and dove right into fighting again.

The only people struggling in the fight from the Elites side were those who did not come to Draconia , and whose strength was simmilar to that of the mercenaries from the triads. But with Naomi's constant healing support , even these members managed to hold on.

Although the fight looked like it was in a complete chaos , the reality was not so. Rudra was methodically moving towards the north gate , as he was less than 50 meters from it.

It was then that , a loud noise came from the forts watchtower. " ENEMY MARCHING!!!!! ENEMY ATTACKING THE NORTH GATE!!!! ALL HANDS ON THE NOTHERN WALL ".

Everyone was baffled to hear this news , the enemy March could not have came at a worse time. As hordes and hordes of soldiers rushed to take stations on the nothern wall , Rudra and Karna lead the elites through the sea of soldiers progressively towards the north gate.

The commodores outisde had already taken a full defensive formation , as the army was slowly starting to climb the hill , trusting that the leader would open the gates at the right time.

However , in reality the commodores were not too optimistic about this actually happening and had a plan to undertake full retreat to cut the losses when needed.

However , to their surprise , the gate was blasted open.

When Rudra was close enough , the elites suddenly made a circle around him , to give him enough time to cast his two spells.

Solar Flash!

The sudden flash of light during the night , caused a temporary blindness for everyone around Rudra , as Rudra used Solar blast , to blast open the single lock on the huge metal gate of fort Magma.

With the lock falling apart , all it now needed was a strong enough push , and the gate would open up!

And that strong push came in the form of , Rudra, Karna , Yume , Gamakichi and Gamabunta pushing the door all at once at full strength.

Arrows piecing their armour one after the other , as the group took heavy damage. However their job , was completed. The north gate was opened!

The moment the commodores saw the north gate open , they knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity .... As they lead the army at full speed to charge at the gates!

This was a do or die now ..... The Hazelgroove army was in control now .... The battle to capture fort Magma was now possible!

( Meanwhile in China )

Jhonny had infiltrated the poppy field , having no interest in inhaling drugs , this time Jhonny wore a gas mask.

Jhonny's plan was simple , if he burnt the poppy fields , half the people here would probably die of overdose , while the other half would be high as hell .

In both scenarios , Jhonny would walk out the beneficiary , hence what he did was to kill his way through to one end of the opium rich poppy fields and used a cigaratte lighter to burn 3-4 of the plants .

After that Jhonny had nothing more to do as the fire started to spread from itself. Although the smoke kept rising and rising ,and the smoke detectors started to ring, the consequent sprinklers did not activate

Or rather they did activate but no water?came from it , as Jhonny had long cut the supply line.

With the workers scrambling to save the billions of dollars worth of goods , they had no choice but to inhale the poison of drugs. Soon rendering them as slow laughing buffoons.
