The Rise of the Black Plain

Meanwhile, in the easternmost part of the local wall, on top of the entrance.

Minos, Angela, and Ernest were already in that place next to Abby and some other high-level people in this city, subordinates or allies of the local forces.

Besides them, some elders of the Gill family, Vivian, Mendy, and Ruth, were also present, even if some of them would not participate in the upcoming confrontation.

After receiving the earlier warning, Minos had quickly made the necessary preparations and assembled the team that would deal with those enemies.

Minos didn't know how strong the enemy group was, so he gathered several people for this place, just in case he needed the support of his allies.

But not everyone there would participate in the battle. Instead, they would just stand on guard, waiting to act in case there was some kind of emergency.

And apart from these high-level individuals in this city, hundreds of soldiers stood around that exit inside the dome.

That was the force Minos had gathered in the short time that had passed since Mia's warning until this moment when the enemy forces were expected to arrive on the outskirts of the dome.

Anyway, while they were gathering in that place, suddenly a soldier came running towards where Minos was standing while shouting and waving a paper in his right hand.

"Young master, young master!"

"The enemies have sent a letter challenging us!" He said under his breath, just after reaching Minos' side and handing that letter to that young sovereign.

"Oh?"

"Well, Minos? What do they say?" Abby asked as she stood next to her boyfriend.

"They're challenging us, huh..." He commented as he had a smile on his face.

"To the ungrateful bastard Minos Stuart."

"Traitor, leave your city if you have the courage and the minimum of honor, and surrender yourself for the justice of the kingdom. We promise not to exterminate all the people of your city."

"Otherwise, traitor, you and your cronies will all be killed."

"But we challenge you to fight on the battlefield, 10 kilometers east of your damned wall!"

"Come face us, traitor, or we will prevent people from entering and leaving your damned city!"

"Brown family, the true sovereigns of the Black Plain." Minos said as he finished reading what those people had sent him.

"Outrageous!"

"Damn bastards! They dare to say such things about the young master?"

"Those parasites!"

"They've never done anything for the Black Plain, and now they think they have the right to say such things!"

"That makes me disgusted!"

"Young master, let's slaughter them! Let's send their heads back to the capital of the Brown Kingdom!"

But while many of the soldiers standing there on Minos' side were uttering their opinions, soon Angela asked him. "What should we do? If these people want to do that, they can ruin the migration of the citizens of the Maritime City."

Indeed. The citizens of Maritime City came to Dry City because this place seemed like a land of opportunity, where everything seemed favorable to them.

And they could even accept the possible local war because upon arriving in Dry City, they would all learn about the power of the local forces, the dome, and more. Hence, they knew that even if this place was to face war, the ordinary citizens had a slight chance of suffering the consequences of this kind of action.

At the very least, they would be in more danger by staying in the Maritime City or trying to go to other regions...

Because of this, many recent newcomers to the city were still interested in this place, despite the local problems.

But if royal troops suddenly started appearing on their way here, then these people would probably give up coming to Dry City just to avoid trouble.

And that would not be good for Minos' plans!

He then said in a tone loud enough for everyone there to hear him. "Well, if they want to meet their creators, then we'll do them such favor!"

"Let's go into battle!"

"Yes!"

"Let's kill those parasites!"

"For Dry City!"

"For the Black Plain!"

Several soldiers shouted in cheers soon after hearing Minos' speech.

After that, Minos, Angela, Ernest, and several soldiers from the Elite Squad standing around amid those other soldiers left that place, heading towards the enemies!

He was carrying a great deal of strength with him, but that was nowhere near his organization's capacity.

But it wouldn't be worth acting with all the existing strength just to crush the opposing group quickly.

That was because he needed people in his city to deal with potential problems that could arise during a conflict, people to replace soldiers who needed to rest after the battle, and much more.

Among other reasons, he wanted to test some of his Elite Squad soldiers so that they would again experience fighting against powerful enemies who wanted to kill them.

Finally, showing too much strength could be a problem since if someone were watching over this battle site, such a thing would show their power.

As in the case of the Miller family members, if someone sees them on the battlefield, then Minos' plans could be significantly hindered.

As for future battles, well, in the future, things would get out of hand, so there would be room for these forces to act. But in this situation, where they could be watched and dealt with the adversary numbers, it would not be suitable to show too much.

So, he wouldn't use his outside allies or subordinates without a need.

With that, those people stood on that part of the wall, waiting for what would happen next.

...

At the point where the members of the Brown family were waiting...

"General Edgar, do you think that brat will come to the battlefield?" One of the Spiritual Kings in that group asked this while comfortably waiting for the moment to act.

Edgar then smiled and said. "If he is an idiot, he will come. But most likely, he will send forces to fight against us..."

"Hehehe, he will probably hide while his subordinates die for this place!"

"Let's see what these rebels are capable of!"

But not everyone there thought that Minos would accept this challenge and send troops here. "In my view, I think that person will probably hide under this dome until we can destroy part of these defenses..."

"Hmm, it would be too dangerous to send people to fight our group."

"No. He has no choice. Either he fights us now, or in a few weeks, we can surround this place with the reinforcements His Majesty will send!"

"It's better to fight a smaller group, like ours!" The group leader said, showing his vision to the others there.

"Oh?"

"That truly..."

And while they were talking about it, a guard arrived at that place bringing news.

"Generals, the enemies have already been spotted leaving that dome!" He said aloud.

"What? Have they already accepted the challenge?" One of the people who didn't believe this development said in shock as he stood up from where he was sitting, questioning that guard.

"Yes, general. Hundreds of enemies are coming here right now!"

"Unbelievable!"

"The ruler of this place is truly audacious... Let's see what he's capable of!"

"Let's go to war!"

...

In the blink of an eye, the two opposing forces were already facing each other on the battlefield.

One group watched the other, a few dozen meters separating them. At the same time, the local silence made it much easier for everyone there to feel the rays of the midday sun warm their skins.

'This force... Why did King Brown send such powerful individuals in this small group?' Minos wondered as he looked at those people in front of him, just after he had felt the strongest spiritual fluctuations there.

'Isn't he afraid of losing such powerful cultivators here? Or is there another reason?'

But while Minos was thinking about that, soon, the leader of the enemy group shouted. "Traitors of Dry City, surrender now, and we can spare your lives!"

"Otherwise, only death awaits you!"

"But if you surrender and hand over the traitor Minos Stuart to us, we can even reward you!" This level 57 royal family subordinate said this while looking at the strongest of the adversary group.

'That's it? Three Spiritual Kings, one at level 50, other at level 50, and the last at level 54.'

'Hahaha, with me here, we'll exterminate those damn things in a few minutes!' He thought as he smiled, looking in the direction of Minos, Ernest, and Angela.
