The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2054 Controversial Program

A few days passed after Minos' order, but the Black Plain Army had already publicly released a surrender plan that promised to hand over all those who signed it to the aliens before the war began.

In short, this plan promised to help these people surrender to the aliens and make them hostages of the world invaders, so that the aliens could decide for themselves the future of the defectors from the forces of the Spiritual World.

At the plan's beginning, everyone thought the army was playing a trick on everyone. However, after a few days and the news of what was happening in many of the empire's major cities, the population slowly began to believe that the plan was real.

Minos still intended to fight the aliens, but he opened the possibility for his citizens to surrender to the aliens before the war began. 𝑓𝑟𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝑏𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝘮

As the people realized the plan was serious, Minos' allies began to worry about what was happening in this state.

His allies were also facing protests and even terrorist attacks in their states by groups who wanted to surrender to the aliens. How could they not be concerned that such a famous and important ally would take such a rash action?

But even though many of his allies were looking for him, Minos had refused to meet with virtually everyone who had tried to arrange a meeting with him recently.

Even members of the Pantheon of Honor and Julian and Aarav's faction hadn't had a chance to meet Minos to talk about it.

Aarav was already living in Dry City by that time. Still, even on the occasions when he and Minos had met, Emperor Stuart had refused to talk about it.

Since Aarav was one of the few in the Pantheon of Honor who knew about Minos' empire's advances in enemy technology, he didn't insist, determined to see how far Minos would go.

So, the first hundreds of thousands of people around the empire signed up for the project, signaling their preference to surrender to their enemies rather than fight their opponents and be exterminated without any chance of surrender.

...

Three weeks after the start of the Black Plain Empire's Surrender Project, Aurae reached this state.

Specifically, this God arrived in Dry City, where she wanted to meet Minos and talk to him about her experiences and see how he was doing with his projects.

Upon arriving at the core of the empire, the blonde woman, with a serious look on her face, smiled when she saw the dome of Dry City, that thing made of the combination of several black holes.

'This is impressive. These defenses can currently prevent even level 97 Demigods from invading this city. Besides, this thing almost looks like a Spatial Kingdom to me. If it advances a little further, the space in this area will probably fold up and form a space region independent of the normal world.' She quickly analyzed the situation of the defenses created by Minos when he reached level 80.

But that wasn't enough to stop her. As soon as she moved, she passed through the defenses of Dry City's dome as if it were nothing and reached the inner part of that place where millions of people important to the empire lived.

Looking at this place, she immediately realized how alien technologies had already changed how people lived there.

She didn't know the Black Plain Empire, but she knew very well what the lifestyle of the entire Central Continent was like. Seeing how things were today in the most important city in the north of that continent, she realized the changes brought about by alien technologies.

'It looks like my generation will have to get used to these things.' She saw a group of children flying around in canoe-like artifacts.

But it was there that she saw the most important changes, noticing a large boat floating in the air near the city's lake.

"That..." She identified the thing, a spaceship, something only the elves and sea folk had understood enough to make their boats fly.

But from what she had just noticed, the Black Plain Empire was as advanced or more advanced than the two most intelligent races in the Spiritual World!

'It seems that young Minos Stuart has been hiding his discoveries... It's good I came here, or we'd be in trouble.' She laughed, pleased to discover the truth about this state, and imagined that her people could advance quickly with the discoveries of the young local leader.

But as she watched the empire's technological advances, the woman with the big pointed ears realized the famous Emperor Stuart wasn't around.

She saw a woman with a strong scent of Minos and moved towards her, appearing in front of a beautiful blue-haired woman who was looking in the direction from which she had entered the city.

Everyone in the city had noticed the arrival of a God, so Abby wasn't surprised to see this person appear before her.

"Lady Aegolor..." She immediately recognized who this person was, knowing that she was the strongest member of the elven tribe, the only one in this generation to have reached level 100.

"Human, your talent isn't bad. You're close to level 87, not bad. But you're still below your husband." She commented as she touched Abby's body, quickly understanding many things about this person, from the Empress's age to the fact that she had already carried a child in her womb.

"Where is your husband?" She moved from Abby's back to the front of the young woman so quickly it was as if she was teleporting.

"My husband is in a city in the Brown area right now. He's dealing with the problem of the rebels who want to surrender to the aliens." Abby said as Aurae looked in the direction of Brown.

"Oh? Is he working on that little project? I heard about it. It's quite interesting, although I disagree with it." She commented.

"Forgive my impertinence, but you may have misunderstood my husband's intentions, Lady Aegolor," Abby said. "Many underestimate the laws of the empire and the consequences of breaking them."

Aurae narrowed her eyes. "What does he intend to do?"

Abby asked instead of answering. "Lady Aegolor, do you know the laws of my state? Here, not only soldiers are punished for crimes of treason. Any citizen can be punished.

In normal situations, citizens who betray the state are punished with expulsion from the empire along with their families. However, betraying us to the aliens is an unforgivable crime punishable by death."

"You're not saying that..." She looked away from Abby and in Brown's direction, feeling a shiver run down her spine.

While they were talking there in Dry City, a massacre that would soon make headlines across the continent and the world was taking place in Brown's area, where more than 2 million people who had joined the Surrender Program were being killed!

Meanwhile, their relatives already had army men at their doors to tell them to leave the empire!
