The Rise of the Black Plain

After this month, Minos again participated in battlefield fights between those two organizations and developed more of his black hole.

Because of this and the fact that the Gray Clouds Sect had unanimously rallied around Minos, that organization publicly announced the change in its control.

That led to all the other powers of this state finding out about this unexpected and shocking change, making many wonders what was going on in that organization.

Even old enemies of Oswald were in doubt as to what this fellow was up to. But none of them believed that such a person had gone senile.

Oswald was one of the most lucid in the empire. He had a terrifying power that made him a fantastic warrior, but it also stimulated his mental abilities.

So instead of preparing for the decline of that sect, the rivals of that organization and Oswald were preparing for the opposite, some move on this sect's part.

Meanwhile, the emperor finally concluded that Minos was not just playing with the Gray Clouds Sect and would lead that organization to victory.

Since the situation on the Black Plain was still complicated and in a short time, Minos could win the war in this empire, Harold had concluded that if he did not act now, he would have no more opportunities in the future!

Thus, the day before, he had lost his patience and began preparing to fulfill his daughter's request.

He was going to find the Spiritual Sage protecting Abe to help Minos obtain a meeting with such a person!

Because of this, Isabella was already moving to the Black Plain to help Minos prepare and make this young man aware of how determined the Edwardstone family was to help him!

...

Capital of the Black Plain Empire...

In Dry City, things were as usual, with much movement in the common area and the core facing the coming and going of many specialists.

But nothing in this large city in the northern region indicated any great tragedy or destruction in the surrounding area, as might have been expected considering the plans of the terrorists acting against this state.

Abe and his men were still preparing to attack this place on Minos' last trip to the Flaming Empire for the luck of this city's citizens.

On that occasion, Minos had been away for four days. But Abe had not yet positioned himself around this capital city by then. On the other hand, his men in the Flaming Empire were still spreading out to watch for places where Emperor Stuart might appear. So they had not yet acted.

With that, the situation on the Black Plain had not changed all that much in the last few weeks, with the local problems concerning Abe having diminished somewhat.

Both sides were preparing for an intensification of the conflict, so both were less vigorous in their actions, thinking for the sake of the future.

In this way, Isabella arrived in the capital of this state and found a vibrant city without the ravages of war, something she always dreaded find when visiting this place.

She was from the Flaming Empire and knew her capital, Payton, was much more advanced than Dry City. But because of her feelings for Minos and having already seen some of the local development, this woman could not help but wish the best for this place.

She wanted to see the day when this city would reach a level similar to Payton, something she considered possible to happen given the concentration of spiritual energy in this area.

The spiritual root of the Black Plain had almost fully recovered by this point. So the spiritual concentration in the surroundings was already similar to those in the high-level areas in the Flaming Empire.

The local situation was still developing, but even high-grade spiritual crystals could already be found in the local crystal mines.<novelnext></novelnext>

Considering this, this woman had no reason to suspect that Minos would not advance his empire to the highest level, and she naturally wished to see that day come.

Since finding chaos in this place went against her desire, Isabella sighed in relief when she saw that all was well just before running to the imperial palace.

...

After a few minutes, Isabella managed to enter the imperial throne hall of Minos, where this man was giving orders to his staff.

"Send troops to the east of the Red Valley to rescue..."

"... Request reinforcements from the Snow Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Waves to help the Brown area..."

"... Finally, ask the traders coming from the Elves Island to forget about the Black Plain. We will not talk about a business that is not urgent at the moment."

Minos gave several orders to his staff. He devoted at least a few minutes of his day to keeping his state under order in this challenging period.

After a while of doing this, it was finally Isabella's turn, and she got right to the point by addressing Emperor Stuart. "Your Majesty, my father has decided to help you. He is preparing to intercept the enemy Spiritual Sage to facilitate your meeting."

When Isabella said this, all Minos' guards and staff in the area stopped what they were doing to look at this beautiful red-haired woman. They all sense that it could be the beginning of the end of their troubles.

Even little Sarah watched silently in her aunt Bella's direction, noting that the matter was of the utmost importance.

Minos clenched his fists upon hearing this and felt excited. Even if this help did not finalize his problems, he would at least have the opportunity to know the reason for all this.

"Very well. When will he come?" He rose from his throne, eager to find Harold and go after that Spiritual Sage who had been disrupting his life for months.

Isabella then replied as she nodded to Sarah. "He is trying to throw off the people from the Flower Kingdom who are watching him. But that shouldn't take long."

"In a week at most, he should be able to see you."

"Very good. I won't forget this help." He said as he made a gesture of thanks common in the Spiritual World.

Minos knew that Harold could travel through space. Hence, such a person could come from Payton to Dry City in a few minutes, and their search should not take long either.

A Spiritual Sage could use space to hide or travel through wormholes. Still, another 9th-stage cultivator could identify those paths with some work. Thus, even if the opponent was hiding, Minos knew that it would not take Harold long to find such a person.

With that in mind, he was already preparing for this moment and was naturally grateful for that emperor's gesture.

He knew that Harold would take enormous risks for leaving that state. So Emperor Stuart would not be ungrateful to that person, even if this attempt, in the end, proved unsuccessful.

Isabella knew Minos was the kind of person who returned good gestures with others of the same nature. Then, she was not worried and soon stopped talking about serious matters to talk to Sarah.

Minos did no more work after that, having left to prepare himself for the coming days!w.o
