The Rise of the Black Plain

"Scourges of the Devil?" All those soldiers in disguise said this simultaneously, shocked to discover that these people had brought such information to them.

'Lucky!' The strongest of the group thought this silently as he assumed how time had been in their favor.

The information published by the Night News had just become popular in the region. Still, copies of that edition were sold in fixed places, posts around the region.

Consequently, travelers on the outskirts of Yellow City, as was the case with that group, would not have the opportunity to receive or buy such a thing.

The nearest cities to that place were more than a day away, considering the speed and endurance of 5th stage spiritual beasts.

But the group in question was only using beasts at the end of the 4th stage.

And even if the Snow Kingdom's royal family had sent the information on that Night News publication, even the fastest crows in the region would still take at least a week to come from that kingdom to here!

Because of this, this Snow family group had been left in this challenging situation where they did not know about the shocking events published in the Night News, something that would basically make accomplishing this mission of theirs a mistake!

The special edition of the Night News talked about the identity of the competitor Minos. As such, the Snow Kingdom royal family now knew that there was no mysterious organization behind that young man. The opposite of that, the Black Plain was the organization itself, one that at any moment could become the enemy of the entire region.

Therefore, the mission of this group should have been canceled after such news spread in the region, and these people should not tell their offer to Minos' people!

But unfortunately, they had no way of knowing what might happen on their way. After months of traveling and being unaware of this recent news, they could only do the obvious.

Accomplish the mission, as ordered by Ambrose!

All of this had benefited the Black Plain Army, which now had a way to find people who could assist them in reaching the headquarters of the Scourges of the Devil!

'Hmm, they must have gotten that information through Dean!' So, that soldier thought to himself as he watched the Snow family members cautiously.

'We have to stop these people here!'

'If they escape from this place, the position of our secret base may become vulnerable when they find out that the young master is no longer in the position of a potential ally!'

Such a soldier then looked at both sides of that street they were on before finally smiling at his companions, indicating his intentions.

"Well, that information is actually more valuable than we expected..." He said, as if ready to 'pay' for what that individual from the Snow family had said.

"Are you sure you guys want this pointer?"

"After I tell you, there will be no turning back..."

"Sometimes, being ignorant is better." Such a soldier said mysteriously.

Hearing that, those people frowned in expectation for the truth, not caring about the comments of that 'traveler.'

"Just tell what you know." The leader of that group said, already preparing to act.

Once any of those 'travelers' gave the information they wanted, it would be time to act!

All information about the Scourges of the Devil was sensitive. It would be unwise for them to allow outsiders to know that they knew the location of such an organization.

After all, if it leaked out to the Scourges of the Devil themselves, this information could become useless in a short time!

Consequently, that individual, level 50, was ready to act against the people before him!

"So..."

"So?"

And at that moment, finally, each of the soldiers in that group began to circulate their energies, preparing to attack that single Spiritual King of the opposing group.

"You guys better stick around!" One of the soldiers shouted as his big red ax cut the air diagonally, heading towards the chest of that Spiritual King.

"What?"

"Bastards! Why are you attacking us?"

"Don't tell me that... It can't be!"

Several of those members of that Snow family group began shouting their opinions while being taken aback by the attitude of the opposite side.

Some of them were preparing to attack since there was no need to leave witnesses alive. But at no time had they thought that the enemy side would be the first to attack!

With that, some were already quickly thinking about the possibilities for this sudden behavior change while also circulating their energies.

"Tsk!"

"It makes no difference... I will keep one of you alive and then get the information my way!" The strongest one there said that already heading towards those attacking him, intending to kill them!

"Humph!"

"Not with me here!"

But as the two groups began to fight, just as that Spiritual King was about to hit one of the vital points of the strongest Sergeant there, a female voice came from far away.

"What?"

"Damn it! We've been caught in the enemy's trap!" Someone there screamed in desperation as he saw giant hands of spiritual energy descending through the sky, coming to knock them out.

At this moment, when they were focused entirely on the 'travelers' from before, they became easy targets for Eda, who was stronger than the leader of those individuals!

'Damn it!' That Spiritual King pressed his jaw hard as he looked sadly at Eda, feeling frustrated at being surprised like that.

'Who... Who are those people?' He wondered just before finally passing out.

After that, each of those individuals coming from the Snow Kingdom was lying on the ground, passed out after the knockout given by Eda.

"You guys did well in dealing with these people. We even got crucial information from them!" Eda commented right after approaching those individuals.

She was all the time watching that group from afar, preparing to act at the sign of any trouble. And since her hearing and spiritual sense were far superior to that of the opposing leader, she had done so unnoticed, having been able to hear all the previous dialogue.

And knowing what had been discussed between those people, Eda knew that the best thing to do here was to take those people from the Snow family.

"Come on, carry those people to the base." She said to those soldiers just before returning to her post.

...

While Eda was dealing with those members of the Snow family who had appeared in Yellow City, Minos was looking after the affairs of war at his army headquarters.

"Young master, we have information of some enemies demonstrating somewhat suspicious behavior," Joey said to Minos while sitting across the desk in Abby's office.

Upon hearing this, Minos looked carefully at that man, not understanding what such a person was about to inform him.

"Can you give me more details about this?"

"Well..."

"Some enemies are fighting as if they don't want to defeat us, to kill our soldiers."

"We have received several reports of soldiers who were about to die on the battlefield and were saved by opponent 'mistakes'. Or even their opponents simply backed off when these soldiers could no longer fight."

"What? Are you serious?" Minos asked in shock, realizing that that army assembled with the troops of the noble families of the Brown Kingdom did not seem very united.

'Could it be that some people are dissatisfied with their position? Do they wish to change something?'

"Are there any similarities between the cases reported by the soldiers?" He asked.

"Hmm, there is."

"The soldiers who reported these things described the enemies who were facing them in these situations carried the same symbol."

"That symbol looks like it belongs to House Austin!" Joey said confidently, feeling that there was no mistake in the information.

"House Austin... Don't tell me they want to change sides?" Minos said aloud as his expression suddenly lightened.

"Contact the Miller and Gill families. Let's see what they have to say about this organization..."

"Maybe we can get one more ally in this war!"

"Yes, young master."
