The Rise of the Black Plain

Two months passed in the blink of an eye...

After the previous battle on his territory, Minos had had a few weeks of calm, with no more terrorist attacks. But that had only been temporary due to the deaths of many enemies on that fateful day.

Abe, the enemy leader, had escaped and still had the crystals of an Eastern Empire organization. So, it did not take long for more mercenaries from the Western Empire to arrive in this region.

The Western Empire was extensive, with over 3.5 billion inhabitants and Spiritual Demigods in its leadership. What is the significance of this? Well, there were millions of Spiritual Saints in that state!

Of these individuals, part was doing services as mercenaries, and it was practically impossible for all of them to find out that Abe's contractors left that state only to die. Therefore, getting people like this was easy for him, making it possible for him to get new troops quickly.

Because of this, the peace of Minos had not lasted long, and terrorist attacks once again returned to the Black Plain.

Unfortunately for this sovereign, Abe was now aware that his identity was known, as well as the danger of attacking Dry City. Thus, he reverted to his previous strategy of attack and ran, slowly degrading the local forces.

Because of this, Minos had no choice but to spread his forces across this state again in an attempt to prevent the enemy from destroying the different areas of the empire.

But of course, the emperor kept the main forces of his state in the core of the Black Plain, where the future of this great state lay!

...

The Imperial Palace, Dry City...

In this place, Minos was currently receiving envoys from the Assembly of Vogel but also from the Gray Clouds Sect.

In fact, he had requested a visit from representatives of these institutions before and was finally having his request fulfilled on the day in question.

With that, two individuals who did not like each other were in front of Minos at this moment.

But while the two Spiritual Saints of these powers did not like each other due to their history, they had no alternative but to tolerate each other in this place.

Minos ignored the strange expressions on the faces of those two and said what he wanted. "I called you here as I want your organizations to send low-level Spiritual Saints and high-level Spiritual Emperors into my territory."

"Sigh!"

"The situation in my empire is difficult to control because of the terrorist attacks..."

Hearing this, those two were surprised to hear Minos asking them for help.

The representative of the Gray Clouds Sect then said. "Your Majesty, what about the Spiritual Church? I understand that you ask Vogel for help. After all, this place is part of your state. But we are from outside the empire and the northern region. So what would that organization do if we helped you?"

The man from the Assembly of Vogel had his own questions in mind, but he waited for Emperor Stuart's answer.

Minos then said. "That is not a problem. Church rule says that organizations outside the northern region cannot interfere in the affairs of that region by imposing their wills. But as the regional leader, I can seek help outside of it, and as long as that help follows my orders, it won't be considered an offense to the Church."

"On the other hand, if you agree to my request, I will let the Church know, and all will be well." Gloria, who was also standing around, said this after her husband's speech.

"Still, that won't be easy..." That man from the Gray Clouds Sect insisted.

He knew that Minos would become the master of that sect in the future, although the man sent by the Assembly of Vogel had no idea about that. But even knowing it, this man from the Flaming Empire was uncomfortable accepting Minos' request.

"I don't know if Your Majesty has forgotten, but we are at war with the Saints Killing Sect. So many of our experts are already on the battlefield." He said, speaking of the main reason for his small intention to help Minos.

That person from Vogel heard this and sighed in relief since people in his state thought that the Flaming Empire had only not attacked them so far because of this internal conflict.

Hence, he could not help but feel good to hear that those two great organizations in that empire were still estranged.

He then saw Minos looking at him and said. "Your Majesty, don't look at me like that. Our situation is not good either. If we send our Spiritual Saints, who will protect Vogel? Our area is being attacked by people even stronger than the rest of the Black Plain."

Abe's attacks against the nobles and the Church outpost in Vogel had diminished since his great defeat there earlier. He thought Minos was the threat to be contained, so he wanted to focus as much as possible on this opponent.

But even then, sporadic attacks, such as those happening in the rest of Minos' territory, had also been occurring in that area.

So the Vogel Assembly would hardly approve of sending part of its experts to Minos now!

Minos heard that and did not like it. "I want each of you to send only 3 Spiritual Saints of at least level 71. Will you do that, or will you make it difficult?"

Those two people were silent after Minos' words, while Sarah followed everything from her mother's arms.

One of them looked at Sarah and understood that Minos was passing his personality to his daughter by making her see him at times like this. But even though he thought this was clever and this little girl cute, he could not help but feel the pressure of having to talk to Emperor Stuart.

Minos could not force the two organizations to do anything for him at the moment. The Assembly of Vogel was independent, and the Gray Clouds Sect was not yet his.

But even so, while one organization would eventually become his for him to rule, the other could end up irritating a hazardous person...

That organization was well aware of the black hole that Minos had used against Abe's forces. Thus, they knew that this young emperor might use such a thing as a weapon to threaten them somehow.

Because of the possibility of that happening, that representative could not help but think they had better at least send the three experts Emperor Stuart wanted.

"Only three?" He said in a humorous tone. "I thought it was more, haha. I think I can convince the assembly if it's only three."

"Hmm, I think the sect can send three individuals like that too." The other person commented.

Minos then relaxed a little and said. "In addition to those three individuals that each of your organizations will send, I need at least 300 high-level Spiritual Emperors."

"Is that possible?"

"Yes..."

"Of course..." The two agreed since Spiritual Emperors would not be much needed in their ranks, but also because they were already being coerced, so there was not much to deny.

That way, Minos finished his conversation with these people, getting more support to try to counter the actions of Abe's terrorist group.
