Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master - Chapter 325
Chapter 325: Finding Rhodium
Rhodium was abundant inside the valley of crystals , however usually they were small Crystal’s, the size of a palm. What Rudra needed was a rarer type of Rhodium deposit , that was as big as a house. It typically needed 40 years to build up , and would only be found at places with abundant mana. Hence why the nocturnal worms were also found near it.
Even after 2 days of looking for it , no clues were found and the party members started to get anxious , the valley of crystals was big , but that big that it could not be completely scouted in 2 days time.
However what even proffesional miners could not find , was found by heaven’s son Karna , accidentally at that. While bored Karna decided to spar with Neatwit for a while , and in the intense battle he needed to rely on mind’s eyes. When he activated it though , he could percieve the terrain around him differently , as he located the rhodium deposit!!!
It was 35 meters below ground , as nearly 16 earthworms surrounded it , mining it would be a very difficult task. While the miners saw no sign of Rhodium being 35 meters below where Karna had indicated , Rudra had full faith in the son of Providence.
Hence under Karna’s direction , the team started mining under Karna’s direction.
Whenever an earthworm would pop up , the 12 Elites would use teamwork to swiftly deal with them , as they gained bountiful experience points from it.
Finally after ,2 more days of hardwork , they killed all 16 Earthworms and excavated the Rhodium.
Much to the surprise of the miners it was legit a 50 meter cube piece of Rhodium. They questioned Karna about his methods , but naturally Karna would not let his secrets out soo easliy. However the important part was that all the necessary parts had been obtained !
Now started the labourous process of bringing it back home safely.
Firstly a ramp had to be dug out with a 15° inclination that connected the surface to the Rhodium deposit , as 300 horses and 500 slaves pulled it hard just to load it on the wooden wheel platform that Fatty Kalash built.
Hence started the slow March back home , where the glowing Rhodium was slogged by 500 slaves , guarded by 500 soldiers and overseen by 12 Elites!
However the slow journey back home was anything but pleasant , the rhodium that had been nourished by mana for decades attracted too many monsters , as Rudra lost soldiers to scuffles every hour.
Even if Rudra himself took action ,there was a limit as to what he could do alone , he could not protect the safety of the entire contingent , there were bound to be some delay at his arrival , however the soldiers of his city at tier one were genuinely no match for these 80-85 level insects , they were easliy skewered.
The initial party of 500 slaves and 500 soldiers was reduced to a party of 350 slaves and 450 soldiers at the end of one day of travel.
This led to a further reduction of speed, as the 350 slaves had an increasingly difficult time in pulling the weight .
Having no choice left , the horses from the dead soldiers had to be used to supplement the shortage of labor force , which helped alleviate some of the immediate speed problems .
However what the group was not aware of was the fact that they were marching towards a extremely large ambush contingent of angry Rebels .
Edge was furious at the way his party was annihilated in the crystal valley , and decided to take revenge at any and all costs , as he marched 20,000 guild members towards the path back to purplehaze city , waiting to ambush the coming Elite party.
This was a fact that Rudra did not know as of yet , as a day’s journey seperated the ambushing party and the Elites . The Elites were walking into a trap of a size they could not handle .

Bo was extremely excited to do mercenary work again , especially alongside sir Jhonny . To build a good impression , he worked extra hard , in getting the details of all the members that needed to be assasinated , and the best chance to kill them all was inside the senate. Where they would all gather together.
Bo , thought of everything from poisoning their food and water , to assasinating them through bathroom , and enthusiastically discussed it with Jhonny English , however Jhonny remained unimpressed. As each plan that Bo said had some evident flaw or the other.
Bo kept looking at Jhonny for answers to such problems , however all he could see Jhonny doing all day was behave like an actual tourist , going to tourist locations and eating local delicacies . Bo could not understand what his plan was at all!
However things seemed to progress in a positive direction , when Jhonny rented a hotel near the senate , from where he set up surveillance on the street!
Bo was getting more and more anxious as two days passed without them taking any actions . Jhonny had told Ethan he would wrap this up within 7 days , yet at day 3 they had absolutely no plan to move forward at all!
Finally breaking silence Bo asked ” Sir …. Soo I have proposed all these plans to you , which one do you think we should go forward with? If none of them satisfy you , please guide me and teach me what I am doing wrong “.
Jhonny said ” Your plan to gather them all at one place is not bad Bo , but the senate is a place that is very heavily protected , also there are friendly ministers inside there too , unless you can ensure killing them all without causing chaos , which is impossible , it’s not advisable to carry out assasination in the only political house of a nation”.
Bo said ” But sir , the time limit , if we kill one or two , the others will be placed under police protection or underground safehouses , it would get very difficult to kill them all “.
Jhonny was irked by the kid , he was too smart for his own good , Jhonny could not tell him that he had absolutely no plan , that he just rolled with whatever happened . Hence Jhonny raised his tone and said ” Boy assasination takes patience ….. “. Taking a gun from his bag , Jhonny cocks the gun and loads it pointing it at the window.
He said ” do you think it’s as easy as cocking a gun and shooting your enemy? “.
Jhonny shot the bullet out of the window just to make a point.
However , that stray bullet , hit the neck of Mithun Ambani’s son , who was visiting the bar across the street and had just excited his Rolls Royce, before his private security could even react , before he could even take a second step to stand up and get out of the car properly , he died !
There was mass panick down the street , as Jhonny glanced over , and told Bo in a deep voice ” For me it is “.
