Chapter 740: Time To Act!

After giving his orders concerning the future of Otis Silva and the details that would need to be followed for the mission in that place near Yellow City, hours passed until that meeting was over.

Besides the decisions made earlier, specifically those concerning the groups in the Maritime City and near Yellow City, Minos and his soldiers had also talked about the other two large enemy groups around the Black Plain.

The one in the village east of Dry City, where most of the Miller family troops of those first 50,000 individuals of the Counter-Revolutionary Army were, would be of least concern to Minos' forces.

The actions of such a group would be sabotaged by the Miller family members themselves whenever possible, and when they met on the battlefield, they would only have fake fights.

Obviously, this was only true for the Miller family members in that place, who were already prepared to use some identification devices easy to spot by the soldiers of the Black Plain Army.

As for the fourth large enemy group, the one south of Dry City, near the City of Waters, this was the smallest enemy group and would be dealt with by the Hayes family forces.

But just as would happen with the enemy camp near Yellow City, the Hayes family members would try to eliminate only the enemy Spiritual Kings.

At first, it would be interesting to eliminate the enemy Spirit Generals since these people could indeed threaten the Black Plain when added to their forces. But it would be costly to eliminate tens of thousands of them right now, and Minos didn't want to spend too much of his forces at this early stage of the war.

And since regional power was defined by the Spiritual Kings, decreasing the numbers of specialists in the Counter-Revolutionary Army would already be excellent for this early moment in the war of independence.

On the other hand, this would give the Sergeants of the Black Plain Army a few more days or weeks before the deadly dangerous battles for them finally begins!

However, this was not only related to what was best to do at the beginning of the war. No, since the Hayes family had just received some relief in the war between them and the Chambers family, they were not yet ready to fully enter another conflict.

This family had suffered greatly in the war against House Chambers and would still need months to be able to deal with all the loose ends that had managed to slip away. And several of the high-ranking members of that family were still recovering from the battle that had taken place in Persephone.

Consequently, it would be a while before the forces of this family could fully engage in Minos' war against the Brown family.

For all that, the action against the group near the City of Waters had to be more concise at this time.

But Minos, his subordinates, and allies knew that sooner or later, the time would come to fight directly against the thousands of opponents at the 5th stage. So, he and his army were already preparing for this.

In any case, these had been the decisions made at this meeting, specifically those concerning the enemy's main posts. But the army would also act against the enemy smaller camps that were already around this territory.

It was just that such groups were more difficult to reach since they had a much greater capacity for mobility than the larger outposts. So, it was more challenging to locate all of them, thus attacking them.

But the soldiers of Minos' army around the Black Plain were already prepared to deal with these people if they were challenged.

With that, Minos' actions against Thomas' had begun!

...

Two days later.

While many soldiers of the Black Plain Army were leaving Dry City for different places, things were heating up in Maritime City!

After a little more than 20 days since the enemy forces began to arrive in this place, the enemy numbers had passed the acceptable number. Thus, the forces commanded by Eduard were already ready to act!

Because of this, hundreds of soldiers from Minos' army were already scattered around the areas of this city where the traps were located.

There were several types of traps around this city, but in general, they were in the places where the biggest groups of enemies were.

Some places had explosive arrays, things that would be used to destroy the places where the densest groups of enemies were.

On the other hand, other places had different arrays, more 'peaceful' ones, shall we say. Moreover, such devices were in places with smaller numbers of enemies, where Minos' soldiers could act without being too flashy.

But there were also those individuals disguised as members of the enemy organization in that place, who would stab their 'comrades' in the back during the beginning of the conflict.

With that, the army secret base groups were scattered around these areas of interest, waiting for the moment to act.

Some of them would activate the traps, while others were there to deal with those enemies that escaped death by the many devices scattered around this city. Specifically, the most substantial group of the Black Plain Army was near where the enemy Spiritual Kings were.

Eduard was just at that spot, alongside some soldiers from the Elite Squad and many Sergeants at the end of the 5th stage.

"Lieutenant Eduard, will we be able to eliminate how many enemies at that place before the battle? I mean, I hope that trap doesn't fail, or we're finished." Barbara said, looking at Eduard's figure, feeling her heart beating vigorously.

She was a powerful member of the Elite Squad, but that didn't remove her fear. After all, just because she had formidable strength, that didn't mean she wouldn't have her common sense!

And since there were 18 Spiritual Kings in the enemy force, she couldn't help but fear that their trap would fail!

"Hmm, me too. I hope the trap doesn't fail..." He said as he smiled heartedly, feeling a little nervous at the moment.

But after thinking for a while, he commented to this woman. "But it is expected that at least half of them will fall into this place before they realize what is happening."

"The rest will probably suffer from injuries of varying severity... In any case, it won't be easy even if everything goes right." He said as he looked thoughtfully at Barbara.

"Sigh..." She sighed in nervousness, processing this idea.

She had joined this group only two days ago. Because of that, she didn't know all the technical details regarding this great ambush.

"That at least is already better than the current situation..." She commented this while she was in the basement of a building with Eduard and the rest of that group.

Staying underground was the only way for them not to be noticed by their opponents in this place. As such, they and many other soldiers of Minos in this city were in places similar to this one, where Corporals watched over the surroundings, replacing the more powerful cultivators.

After all, Spiritual Warriors were quite common in this city. So, it was not strange that citizens like that were found even near the Counter-Revolutionary Army soldiers.

Therefore, such individuals watched the surroundings while these people were preparing to act.

"Well, we can only hope that the traps work perfectly..." Eduard commented as he felt anxious for the conflict to begin.

They were literally in the dark about the 'ignition' of this conflict. But once the sounds of cannons and explosions reached those places, they would know it was time to act even though they were not in good places to observe the start of it all.

"I hope our fellows on those three enemy ships will be able to act fast enough to affect several opponents early on in the conflict."

"After that, they won't have that opportunity anymore!" One of the soldiers commented the most tricky part of this plan was the naval warfare!
