บท 497: The mastermind

Rudra looked on the map of Nineclouds kingdom with a satisfied smile on his face as he admired the genius of his own plans. 

Nineclouds kingdom was landlocked from all sides , sharing a border with three kingdoms of Aquahose Kingdom , Hazelgroove kingdom and Ghost kingdom. 

With Aquahose Kingdom being a close ally and Hazelgroove being a sworn enemy , as the Ghost kingdom was a neutral neighbour. 

Rudra's takeover of Fort Magma provided him with a front to launch his troops from the Hazelgroove kingdom side of things , while the capital falling under his control meant that he had a hold over the central region now. 

With him escalating tensions in bluecloud city , the only relatively safe city left in the kingdom was the greencloud city. A city closest to Aquahose Kingdom with a direct trade route connecting it to the Aquaduct city of Aquahose Kingdom.
