The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 917: Destination: Black Plain 1

Meanwhile, at the main camp of the Counter-Revolutionary Army on the Black Plain…

This place was bustling as usual, with many soldiers resting in collective tents. But, at the same time, people leave or arrive in this place now and then.

However, unlike the people who left this place with determined expressions, focused on fulfilling their missions and returning here alive, those who arrived had desolate looks on their faces.

Some returned in one piece, but many experienced the chaos of war, the bloodshed of the battlefields, or even the tragic near-death experience.

Not only this, several of these returning people were wounded. Some were even so bad that there was no future for them after returning from the battlefield.

And with that, the sights and sounds around this place could not be joyous, regardless of the regional news.

So, even though many there had already found out about the recent events, from the Walker family tragedy to the church’s decision, the mood of most there could not be altered.

They were already fighting for their lives practically every day. So, it was not something happening far away from these ordinary individuals that would change their mood.

However, this was only true for the ordinary soldiers in this place since King Brown and Linette Carline had been significantly affected by the news they had just received.

…

“The wretch has already managed to advance a level!” King Brown said this in a harsh tone as he threw away the crumpled piece of paper he had just read.

On the other hand, Linette, who was also there in that command tent of this camp, a relatively comfortable place compared to the rest, was not happy.

The news they had received was terrible since it showed how powerful Minos already was and how problematic it could be for them to stand against the Black Plain.

After all, by acting alone against the Walker family, Minos’ action had left a message that, for this woman, was not at all difficult to decipher.

By slaughtering the Walker family leadership, Minos had practically told all the regional powers that even if they advanced on the Black Plain, he could still hunt them down.

Even if the Black Plain was invaded, as long as he was alive and free, he could torment all of them and kill the regional leaders whenever he wanted!

That was truly terrible!

Hence, this mature woman could not help but feel even more insecure about fighting Minos, more and more considering Kara’s words.

She then commented to that king, “It’s terrible news for us that he is even stronger…” She paused for a moment to sigh and then continued. “As well as more decisive in his actions to target us.”

“I fear the next few months will not be easy…”

Upon hearing this, King Brown looked intently at that woman sitting on a red couch as he paced back and forth in that tent. “What do you mean?”

Linette then taped the journal she had just read to her side and looked thoughtfully at that man. “Did he just go to the Kingdom of the Waves, and then will he return here?”

Thomas’ eyebrows then frowned as his mood became even worse than before.

She continued. “Since he’s already out of the Black Plain, I think he’ll try to scare the whole region!”

“Tsk!”

“If that’s true, we’d better take the opportunity to attack the damn Dry City!”

“At least we will give our answer!” Thomas said firmly, feeling his stress increasing by another level.

But hearing that, Linette did not seem to agree with the king of this state. Instead, she thought it would be a terrible idea to attack Dry City at the moment.

“If you want to attack Dry City, go on your own since I will not join you.”

“What? Why?”

“I’m afraid that Minos is smarter than you, Thomas…”

“Do you think Dry City is unprotected? Why would he make a trip out of his headquarters when tens of thousands of enemies surround his city?”

“So, you want us to stand by, doing nothing?” He asked, even more irritated, sensing that such a woman did not seem all that committed to solving the region’s immense problem.

“That’s not what I said.”

“But if you want to die, go to Dry City alone because I won’t go.”

“However, there is still another way we can act…”

“Do you want to wait for the descendants of our families living in the Flaming Empire?”

She then nodded in agreement, with an expression confident that this was the only alternative. “That is our only chance.”

“If you don’t have the patience to take it, I fear that the Brown Kingdom will fall before our reinforcements even have a chance to reach the region!”

“Tsk!”

…

While the Counter-Revolutionary Army command on the Black Plain was making its decisions regarding its subsequent actions, a significant occurrence happened on Stone Island!

A fleet of more than 100 ships was sailing out of this territory towards the Black Plain in the vicinity of the territorial sea to the south of this territory.

Many of these ships had symbols from different families. Some were not warships, but those specialized in transporting people or resources.

However, among the warships in that fleet that were already traveling in battle formation, they had the same symbol of a silver ship.

That was the symbol of the Nash family!

And precisely, this family was leading this tremendous naval fleet toward the Black Plain, where they would finally join the allied forces to fight for the independence of that area.

After the recent setbacks, this family had finally recovered enough of their lost strength from the war against the Allen family. So, Elen’s organization was ready to fight!

As Elen had done the favor of uniting many of the powers of Stone Island to Black Plain, several of those powers were now sending forces into that territory, ready to change the course of the war!

It was neither too late nor too early for them to join the conflicts. But, because of this, many of those individuals interested in the success of the Black Plain were on those ships, traveling bloodthirsty, eager to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

Among them, the Nash members, who led the fleet, also had an apparent goal in mind.

That was to eliminate the Allen family, who now lives in the Cromwell Kingdom, an enemy place of the Black Plain.

With this, they were finally joining the battles of Minos while also continuing to pursue the bastards who had caused them to lose over 30% of the family’s power in recent years!

In any way, this was a significant force. Still, it was not being led by Elen since she was not exactly a warrior, but rather someone who cultivated to live longer and better.

On the other hand, as a strategic leader, she did not need to be on the battlefield. No, her value was much more significant in safe places, from where she could make agreements beneficial to her family and think of ingenious solutions.

So, there she was, on Stone Island, continuing to do her administrative work, attempting to secure the Black Plain’s income through the sale of its products in her family’s stores.

…

However, while some Stone Island families were already moving, someone else was moving quickly to Dry City.

But instead of a sea journey, as those many individuals from the Nash family alliance were doing, this person with beautiful wavy red hair was flying in a giant bird to that place.

‘Minos, wait for me. You will have to face me sooner or later!’ That beautiful woman thought about it, as she still had an angry expression on her face due to that person’s lies.
