Chapter 980: Actions on Both Sides
Meanwhile, in the small area assigned to the Brown family in the Spiritual Church camp…
By now, someone had already left this place beside Diana, taking this woman to the capital of the kingdom, where she could stay further away from the war.
On the other hand, King Brown was already talking to the three Spiritual Emperors that his kingdom had gotten as reinforcements from its descendants.
Two of these people were descendants of the Brown family itself, while the third was a member of House Silva.
The organizations in the Brown Kingdom had more members at this stage of cultivation. Still, since not all of them were contacted and one was a descendant of the Miller family, only these three had come to Thomas’ call.
Other than them, several peak Spiritual Kings descended from the vassal families of House Brown had come to this place and were also in that place talking with Thomas.
“Soon, the disciples of the major sects of the Flaming Empire should start arriving in our region.” The Silva family member said this with a smile on his face, remembering his actions before returning to this region.
That was the man responsible for the order issued by the Church, someone, who had been lucky enough in the past to find one of the Seraphim’s Promise Medals in a ruin.
His name was Clayton Silva, level 61, who had an appearance of a tall, strong middle-aged man, with his black hair that hid the fact that he was much older than the gray-haired Thomas.
“You put a lot into this war, huh?” One of the descendants of the Brown family, level 60, said this while looking steadily at Clayton.
That man could have done so many things with the church favor he was entitled to, but he had used such a resource only to deal with Minos…
And thinking about how much such a person had thrown away, that member of the Brown family was thinking about how strange this world was.
If he were the one to find such a thing, he would use it on himself!
“That wretch almost destroyed my family. That is simply unforgivable!” Clayton said in a hate-laden tone.
The Silva family had lost almost all of their power after standing against Minos, with only 11 Spiritual Kings and a few thousand Spiritual Generals left today.
But even if those were not such alarming numbers, none of those Spiritual Kings were high-level ones, and more than half of them were not warriors.
On the other hand, these numbers were barely enough to maintain order in the Red Valley.
And considering the sense of belonging Clayton had for his old family, he could not bear the hatred of seeing the destruction caused by Minos, so he took drastic measures.
“I did what I had to do, and now we just have to wait that someone will deal with that bastard.” Clayton continued.
“After that, we can easily deal with the rest of the Black Plain!”
Hearing those sweet words, Thomas smiled with satisfaction that the Silvas had left such an individual behind. ‘When this is all over, I have to reward the efforts of your descendants, Otis.’ He remembered the old patriarch of House Silva.
“Good!”
“Then let’s get our troops ready to act in three days. Once that brat has his attempts thwarted, we’ll finally have our chance to start dealing with that damned Black Plain!”
“Yes!” Several of those people there simultaneously agreed with King Brown’s words.
…
Hours later…
As the groups from the six kingdoms of the northern region of the Central Continent continued on that Spiritual Church camp, the messages from Minos and Adam had already reached their destinations!
And with that, at this instant, tens of thousands of Spiritual Generals and over 100 Spiritual Kings were already being notified of the emergency mission passed by their leaders.
Both sides, the Dry City alliance and the Snow Kingdom troop commanders, already knew about what would happen due to their leaders’ planning.
Therefore, all these forces were already in a position to obey the orders of their superiors and start the massacre planned by Minos as soon as they were ordered.
The Black Plain Army, Minos’ allies and subordinates, were already in the vicinity of the enemy’s leading camps, thanks to the information provided by the Snow, Walker, and Carline families.
On the other hand, the Snow Kingdom forces were preparing to slit their comrades’ throats while they slept, using the advantage of being undercover agents.
But there was a time and place for action, so many of these warriors would still have to wait for a few more hours before they finally got a chance to taste the blood of their former comrades.
…
North of the Black Plain.
At this instant, Celeste was in the vicinity of an enemy camp, along with hundreds of high-level soldiers and many other army allies.
But for the moment, they were just observing the surroundings, holding their position while keeping an eye on their targets.
As they continued to do their jobs as they had been doing for the past few days, suddenly someone approached that woman, coming running up with a serious expression on his face.
“Lieutenant Celeste, we have received the authorization to attack!” That man said this amid his breath as he waved a message at her.
Celeste then promptly read what Minos had written, with a smile slightly appearing on her face.
Unlike many soldiers and allies who were afraid of dying in war, she did not feel that way at all. Not because she was a battle maniac. She was not. But because at her level, almost no one could threaten her precious life.
Consequently, Celeste felt good validating her strength in battles around the Black Plain and could not wait to gain more fame and credit for leading the army to victory.
Even more so at this moment when every battle won meant considerable increases in the Black Plain’s chances of victory in the war!
So, she was excited about this moment, and as she finished reading Minos’ words, she immediately gave her orders. “Get ready to fight, boys!”
“We will act at midnight!” She said in a confident tone before heading towards a small hut, where she intended to prepare for tonight.
…
At the same time, Angela and several other allies of Minos, people of high fighting rank, were already preparing for the midnight act.
On the other hand, Dry City had also been alerted about Minos’ authorization to attack and was now completely closed, with thousands of allies and subordinates guarding the security perimeter of that place.
It was unexpected that something was going to happen there. Still, just in case, all the security procedures were activated, and Emlyn was already alongside the strongest warriors in that place, ready to fight if need be.
…
South of the Black Plain.
In this area, one of the largest Snow family groups was in one of the Counter-Revolutionary Army’s camps on the Black Plain, which served as one of their command centers.
And precisely in this place where more than 40,000 people circulated at all times of the day, a group of five Snow family Spiritual Kings was gathered in a small tent while drinking alcohol.
These five stood around a small low table while sitting cross-legged on the ground.
But while some of them were making moves on a chessboard, the others were chatting in low tones, with worried expressions.
“So, we’re truly going to do this? Really?” One of the weaker ones there asked in concern, still in disbelief that the Snow family would take such a path.
“I know it is hard to believe the order we received from His Majesty, but there is no mistake.” One other of them said in a low voice, looking thoughtfully at the person who asked the previous question. “He truthfully is authorizing such an assassination mission!”
Gulp!
“That…”
“Has the family fallen into the clutches of Minos? What will happen to us?”
“Tsk!”
“I don’t know about our family’s future, but I do know that we won’t die while sleeping in this place!”
“Besides, we will be able to live to experience tomorrow, even if it is only a hell on earth!” The most rational of the five commented on this soberly, feeling that there was no better outcome for them at the moment.
If they were already with Minos, winning this war was the best thing for the family. And to do so, killing the enemies in this place while using their positioning advantage was a must!
With that, such an individual was prepared to do what was necessary!
“Come on, don’t think about it too much.”
“These people would do much worse to us if they found out our leaders’ plans!”
“Then let’s just end their lives quickly.”
“That way, we can at least lessen the suffering of our colleagues…”
