Chapter 210: Package

"I never saw you;" the bald man said as he turned around and pretended that he never saw Hugh in the first place. He gave Hugh this time to relax.

Hugh displayed a thankful expression as he looked at the bald man. Just as the bald man disappeared from his sight, Hugh heaved a breath of sigh of relief.

"That was close," Hugh uttered. If not for his quick thinking, Hugh would have been caught by the bald man. Thankfully, he was able to think up of an excuse just in the right time.

Now that Hugh was all alone in the tent, he had the time to look at the plans in the board. Back then, he was not able to look at it with a good look, but now, he was alone.

Hugh approached the board and read its contents. The plan seemed simple enough.

The first part of their plan was to enclose the Cheroque army into one place where they could not escape. It was also important that the Cheroque army could not attack them.

While the Cheroque army was enclosed, they took this time to kill some of their men and soldiers to even out the fight.

The Cheroque army had thousands of men in their reserve. It was a big army that could not be handled by a mere company.

If the Shark Loan company was to attack the Cheroque army head on, they they would be decimated. Not only was their army enormous, the commanders tactics as their leader was something that should be feared in and of itself.

After they had finished chipping off the army's soldiers,then they would go into their next phase. They knew that the barrier would not last long, so they prepared for this contingency.

They had prepared some traps outside the barrier so that the army would get caught into them once the barrier was torn down.

This would help them chip off some of Cheroque army numbers further. However, the Cheroque army was escaping far too early.

The Cheroque army was supposed to destroy the barrier after a few more hours. However, they did not expect that the Cheroque army would find a loop hole.

This was all Hugh's fault. He was the one who had discovered that they could dig under the barrier and escape there.

If they knew that Hugh had infiltrated them and stole their plans, they would be beyond furious.

Once the Cheroque army was mere hundreds strong, then the Shark Loan company would go in for the kill. They had enrolled several mercenary companies to help them on this plan.

It would be a hard battle, but it was not impossible. It was a valid plan against one of the most prolific commanders of all time.

However, if all things become for the worse, the Shark Loan company had a fail-safe plan. They had something in their sleeves that could bring the commander to his knees.

However, Hugh did not know what it was. There was no indication of what kind of item the Shark Loan company had.

The only title it had was 'the package'. Hugh wondered what it was. It must be some kind of nuclear weapon that they could unleash upon the army and decimate them in seconds.

Hugh wanted to know what this was, but he did not know where it was stored. He had to find some kind of clue inside this tent.

Then, he started to dig around the place for something that he could use. However, the only thing he could see was comforters in the floor, stacked-up plastic chairs, and half-eaten dry rations.

It looked like he would not be able to see the thing he needed to see here in this tent. He had to find a tent where the real stuff was hidden.

Hugh perked outside the tent and saw an array of people all struggling to run towards something. He saw that the people the Shark Loan company hired quickly prepare the traps for the Cheroque army.

Hugh also saw some Cheroque army soldiers break through underground and reach the outside. A battle ensued at the very end of the barrier.

The Shark Loan company was winning at the moment since they had surrounded the Cheroque army soldiers. However, this would not last long.

Once the Cheroque army created more tunnels underground, the more soldiers could get out and fight against the Shark Loan company.

Once that happened, the tides of the battle would turn for the Cheroque army's favor. The only way for the Shark Loan company to win back the tide was to create more booby traps.

This was still the beginning of the fight. Many unexpected things could happen that nobody could ever calculate in their heads.

"Hurry! They are breaking through!" a voice shouted.

Hugh turned around and looked towards the barrier. He was surprised to see that the barrier was breaking. Hugh did not expect this.

It looked like not even the Shark Loan company expected this. Then, Hugh heard some distant explosion and muffled explosions from the inside of the barrier.

Then, more and more cracks appeared in the barrier. Hugh saw that more and more Shark Loan company soldiers were flustered at this situation.

Most of the people that the Shark Loan company hired to maintain the barrier were ordinary people. They were the ones who could not hold their ground in a real war.

Some of them vomited right on the spot as they saw the blood spurt out of a human's stomach. Some even held their own intestinal tubes as they died on the grass.

Due to this chaos, most of them could not handle the pressure and decided to escape their posts. It looked like they would die if they stayed still, but they valued their own lives so they escaped.

Due to the dwindling people maintaining the barrier, more and more cracks appeared. It was at that point where small holes in the barrier allowed some soldiers to pass through.

It was only a matter of time until the soldiers of the Cheroque army broke through. However, the Shark Loan company was not yet ready to deal with them.

There were barely any traps set up yet to defend against the surge of soldiers. There was a pandemonium of mercenaries trying to fight the soldiers, but the soldiers had better armor.

Hugh then saw a majestic horse broke through the barrier and settled the whole integrity of the barrier. The commander's exuding presence force all the mercenaries.

This was the mythical commander that everyone has heard of. They had heard stories of his conquest and his cruelty, but it seemed to have been undersold.

The amount of pressure he was exerting was something that a human should never exude. He looked more like a primordial beast that was tyrannical in nature.

With one hand in the air, the commander ordered his men to charge through. They all screamed in unison with the commander's charisma pushing them forward.

Hugh could only wonder as he saw the unfolding events in real time. He was not sure if he could defeat the commander by himself.

Hugh had no reason to help the Shark Loan company, so he let the Cheroque army defeat the Shark Loan company.

Soon enough the large numbers of well-funded soldiers overwhelmed the inferior mercenaries of the Shark Loan company.

Even the Shark Loan company's best soldiers were not enough to deal with the commander's main army.

There were ten chosen people under the Shark Loan company. They were their last hope against the Cheroque army.

Then, everyone saw the commander raise his hand in the air. He signaled everyone to stop in their tracks. Everyone obliged, albeit a bit surprised.

"All of you. Come to me," the commander said as he pointed towards the ten chosen people of the Shark Loan company.

The chosen people's pride were challenged. As privileged citizens of this world, they all built themselves up to the peak predator of this world.

Now, a mere single commander was taunting all of them to fight against him all together. It would shattered their pride if they were to let this impudence go easily.

"You are dead!"

"You overestimate yourself!"

"Let's all charge together!"

The ten chosen people charged towards the commander with their powers in their hands. The four events were displayed, and other unique powers for the chosen people.

However, faced with these multitudes of power coming towards him, the commander did not have a single crease in his forehead.

"I'll end this once and for all," the commander said as he pulled out a giant sword out of nowhere.

This sword was rusted and did not seem to be sharp at all. The passage of time had give this sword some experience and curses after blood had been spilt after all these times.

Hugh recognized this to be the commander's power. That sword wielded unlimited power that was only limited to its user.
