Chapter 760: Returning To Dry City

In that camp, there were not only people from the Silva family. There were also individuals sent by several other local noble families, as in the case of the Sutton family, previously the 4th strongest force in this state.

But now, with this shocking change, that organization had become the 3rd in terms of local power, and some of the members of that family in that camp couldn't help but feel good about that!

'Hehehe, now that the Silva family is finished, we won't have any resistance in taking their place!'

'The future is truly very bright for us!' So, one of these individuals thought to himself, while he had a tired, but at the same time satisfied expression on his face.

But such a thing was not unnoticed by other noble family members in that place.

A member of the Austin family then said to such a person. "Don't be so satisfied with that."

"Huh?"

"That happened at our post... Do you think the enemies couldn't have done the same in other places?"

"I heard that your family's experts are in the southern camp."

"What?" The person from before said in surprise, realizing that such an individual was talking about something sensible.

'No, no, the enemies would not have the strength to attack us and still deal with each of our posts! That's absurd!' He pondered, refuting such an idea.

"You Austin family are truly skittish! Why are you people so afraid of war?" He asked as he tried to attack that person's family trait.

"Tsk!"

"Asshole!" But that individual didn't bother wasting time on that conversation and just turned around and continued on his way. 

'Of course, we don't like this war!'

'Why risk everything when we were already growing up without running any mortal threat?'

'To do that is just plain stupid!' So, he thought about it as he walked away from that man, annoyed that he had to get involved in this conflict.

'And now that enemy has demonstrated all that offensive power... I don't know if it's worth investing our family's future in this!'

'That force could very well wipe us out in a single afternoon!'

'I have to send a report of what happened here to headquarters! We have to find an alternative way to leave this war!' He pondered this as he observed the place where Minos' group had departed.

'Maybe...'

...

Hours passed, and quickly each of the conflicts around the Black Plain had come to an end!

The first to end had been the one responsible for dealing with Otis' group, since who Minos had taken there were stronger and more agile than the other groups.

But the other teams responsible for attacking the other two large enemy outposts were not weak either and had finished their missions by now.

The one in that village east of Dry City had been by far the easiest of all since it was the post operated by the Miller family.

Most of the Spiritual Kings coming from Dry City had fought mock battles against Abby's family members in such a place. However, some of them had faced experts from other local noble families and killed some opponents.

However, not all of them were killed. 

Of the eleven Spiritual Kings in that post, only four had died. In contrast, another three had disappeared from the battlefield and were presumed dead.

As for the rest of them, two of them were from the Miller family, and the other two were from different families of the Brown Kingdom.

Their enemy groups had fled from this place upon 'realizing' how strong this post was, and as such, there were high-level survivors in this place to tell the story of the great battle they had.

Anyway, due to the advantages of the group that attacked this post, they hadn't lost any of their members and had even gotten three new companions...

The attack on the post near the City of Waters, on the other hand, had been by far the most difficult of all. Twelve Spiritual Kings from Minos' side fought for more than half an hour against the nine enemy experts there.

That attack had also yielded the most losses on the part of Minos' allied forces. Besides, they had not managed to eliminate all the targets, even though that had been the purpose of the mission there.

But in the end, Elena's group had returned to the City of Waters with a result of 8 dead targets and no casualties on their side, something already good for the strength of her group.

They may have been more numerous than their opponents. Still, there were few soldiers from Minos' army in that group, and the level of those people was slightly lower than that of their opponents.

After all, the Hayes family was still dealing with the difficulties generated by their years-long conflict against the Chambers family.

Hence, that group had minor advantages and had consequently suffered the most this day!

In any case, with all these attacks coming to an end, all the groups started to return to their respective posts.

Several of those people were heading towards Dry City to deliver the resources collected around the Black Plain to headquarters and report their respective results.

All this had happened in the middle of the night in this region, but no one had waited until dawn to do these essential things. Instead, they all had promptly taken up their mounts and left for their respective objectives!

As for the enemies, tens of thousands of members of such forces on the Black Plain were now in a state of shock after today's events.

The deaths of Spiritual Kings, especially those of high rank, were not common in this region!

Hence, with so many deaths of experts happening in these places, it was impossible for the many Spiritual Generals not to feel shocked, especially scared!

For this and other reasons, no pursuit was ordered. Instead, each of those Counter-Revolutionary Army groups had stayed at their respective posts, making their preparations while waiting for reinforcements.

They knew that it would not take long for the royal family to find out about their losses.

And it indeed hadn't taken long!

...

City of the Setting Sun, Brown Kingdom.

It didn't take long, and the royal palace was already full of representatives of the local noble families who had had significant losses today.

Each time a Counter-Revolutionary Army expert died, the leaders of these families would leave their mansions in the capital and travel to such a location to communicate their concerns.

But with so many deaths, 48 to be precise, it wasn't long before King Brown was faced with almost all the patriarchs of his vassal families.

But not only were the people from these families angry about all the losses today. Thomas was the one who was feeling the worst. After all, besides the Silva family, his royal family had lost the most experts on this day!

Therefore, he was almost exploding with anger right now when he found out the full extent of the losses of his family and his Counter-Revolutionary Army!

'Damn it!'

'The Silva family is lost, and now even my family has been severely injured!' He thought about this as he stood face to face with all those patriarchs in his royal hall.

He then gave his orders. "Gather more troops from your families and prepare to march to that place under my command in less than two months."

"In this period, I will call a meeting with the representatives of the other regional royal families!" He remarked in hatred, feeling humiliated and weakened. 

"Depending on the strength of these damned rebels in this future confrontation, I will invoke the Counter-Revolutionary Statute!" He said solemnly, ready to take the most drastic measures.

He wasn't thinking of resolving the conflict on the Black Plain with just one battle. But suppose the enemy side suffered a significant loss on such an occasion. In that case, he could deal with the rest of the enemy forces gradually, without having to go through situations like the previous one often.

But if he encountered difficulties in that place, his situation would not be comfortable, and drastic measures would need to be taken.

As such, he would do his best to try to damage that enemy as much as possible while demonstrating the seriousness of this problem for the royal representatives.

With that, even if he failed to deal a significant blow to the rebel forces on the Black Plain, those representatives would realize the gravity of the situation. Hence, he could invoke the Counter-Revolutionary Statute's privileges successfully!

He knew that this might take some time to happen, but once this was used, it would only be a matter of months before the Black Plain fell!

On the other hand, he was already accepting the losses he would incur because of this.
