The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2631 Party at the Guild

As the news about the end of the war spread across the central region, Examire was celebrating.

Ever since the ferocious assault on the Armhands' towering headquarters, the city had been engulfed in an atmosphere of tense anticipation, as if caught in the grip of an impending tempest.

Sovereigns, fueled by their abundant resources and weaponry, were preparing for the looming battle. Meanwhile, the weak ones, plagued by their vulnerability, desperately sought an escape route from the imminent chaos.

However, for the weak, fleeing from this city proved to be an elusive dream. Embarking on a perilous journey beyond the city's confines seemed even more treacherous than remaining within its war-tainted walls.

Apart from the few who had the chance to leave, the rest simply stayed in this grandiose alien city, waiting for what would happen.

Upon receiving the news this morning, the city experienced a swift uplift in mood. The citizens set aside their fears and worries and let out sighs of relief. This collective relief was quickly followed by individuals from various backgrounds coming together to celebrate the end of the war and Armhands' victory.

Whether connected to the guild, people could be seen celebrating the end of the conflict in the streets of the city, with various bonfires in different parts of the city, restaurants and other meeting places full, while the stores specializing in guzzles ran out of stock.

In the world of cultivation, people also drank alcohol. In fact, the drinks available in a world like Zocarro were very complex, with options that would make you happier, more alert, more energetic, or the opposite, relaxed, calm and slow. It all depended on what the consumer wanted.

Wines were the flagship of the liquor stores in Oqia, with a range of drinks to suit almost every palate.

Fortunately for the group at the Armhands headquarters, the guild had its own stock of drinks. Otherwise, the party wouldn't have extended to this ancient and powerful force.

Just like Examire, Armhands' headquarters was boiling at the moment, with inner and outer disciples, council members, allies and subordinates celebrating together at the top of the floating island.

They had also prepared themselves as best they could to face the challenges of subsequent attacks. Minos and his faction members were certain that if they weren't able to stop two more attacks on the headquarters, they would lose the headquarters.

But the winds had changed with the Supreme Leader's action and they hadn't even had to face a second attack!

Consequently, today the entire Stuart family in Zocarro was gathered in the main hall of the guild's command building, celebrating alongside the Generals and main combatants in the previous confrontation.

"That must be the first time we've won without having to fight our hardest," Gloria said to Abby and Ruth, as she couldn't help but smile.

"Indeed. This victory even seems strange. As if something isn't right." Abby laughed as she held a glass in her right hand.

Minos stood between them, smiling as his face flushed, a little from the effects of the potent drink he was drinking, but also from how much better he was feeling now that it was all over.

Segiel was beside him, between his wives, for the first time celebrating one of the Stuart family's victories in something so important.

This was a victory for them. After all, this war had started with Minos, and they had been responsible for protecting the headquarters. The war being over and the guild headquarters still standing was a sign of victory for them!

"Unless worrying things happen in the next few years, we'll finally have some peace." Ruth looked at Minos and the others, also spotting, further away from them, Kendrick and the others, celebrating in that hall. "This will be perfect to welcome those who will come from the Spiritual World, but also to prepare us for our departure for Uzira."

Segiel clenched one of her hands as she thought of Uzira. She couldn't join her family to go to that continent. As Commander of the guild, she was to remain in position at headquarters until she was promoted to the position of Elder.

The Commander's major function was at headquarters, so she could hardly leave her position in the future.

"How long do you intend to prepare?"

"65 years." Minos got straight to the point. "Maybe less, but no more than that."

"That's good. But 35 years have passed since we made a deal with Tiolos... Over 40 years have passed since we returned to Zocarro, and in the meantime, almost all the time we've had problems." Abby said as he looked at Minos and sighed, "Will we finally have a long period of peace?"

"I hope so. We'll use these years to strengthen ourselves, prepare the place to receive the family, and make sure our absence won't be felt." Minos smiled, showing his wives that their future prospects were good.

While they were talking, three 12th stage individuals arrived in that hall of the guild's command center. One of them was Navey, the elder who was monitoring Minos, another was the Supreme Leader, Jalai, and another was the Second Elder.

The three of them came towards the Stuart family to greet Segiel and the others, and congratulate them on surviving the enemies and keeping the headquarters as whole as possible during this period.

"Minos, Segiel, you've done a good job. The island no longer looks like a place that has been attacked so massively by the enemy. The city also looks lively," Jalai said with a smile on his face, while the two Elders remained silent.

"We did our best, but we still lost some lives," Segiel said in front of Minos.

He added, "If it weren't for the actions of the Supreme Leader and the Elders, we would soon be attacked again. Luckily, we don't have to use our last cards against the enemies."

Jalai nodded, having already noticed some high-level individuals in the surroundings, who were without their Flashdrain parasites, but strangely, fully recovered.

'It seems that Minos' abilities really are fantastic. These Supremes have recovered sooner than I thought.' Jalai thought as he looked away and saw Sender and the other Supremes who had sacrificed their parasites in the previous fight and were now ready to fight.

They were parasitized, of course, but they were recovered to fight at their levels, which was impressive, given that the sacrifice should have taken them at least six times as long to fully recover.

Minos also looked toward some of the Supremes in the area, grateful for their qualitative advance in their Physique. 'Before, the time I could distort was 30% less than what I can now. Because of my qualitative advance, I can distort time much more easily now!'
