Chapter 879: News from Ernest

A few days later...

While the region was debating the touching farewell to James Cromwell that had taken place in Capital City, Minos was dealing with other matters in his city.

He knew that the Cromwell Kingdom was vulnerable because of the recent war events, as a forced transition of power would never be effortless, even in times of peace. So, considering this, there were undoubtedly many uncertainties to hinder the people of that state as the stormy clouds of war hung over this region.

But even considering the possibilities that could appear for the Black Plain in this period, he was not that worried about that state right now.

Minos did not underestimate the strength of the regional states, but it was undeniable that without their level 59 cultivator, the Cromwell Kingdom had lost much of its power.

They even had other top experts, but none were even remotely capable of standing up to Minos.

So, this young sovereign was much more interested in the other four states he was fighting against.

Unfortunately, they still had level 59 cultivators, which was the big problem preventing him from resolving the war more quickly.

Thus, he was already planning the next steps of the war, discussing with some of his soldiers some missions that were already underway and what he would start doing in the next few days.

...

In the office of the local sovereign, inside the headquarters of the Black Plain Army, Minos was talking with three soldiers while they were all drinking spiritual tea.

The young Stuart was sitting in an armchair that was side by side with the sofa where those individuals were.

And while holding his cup of tea in one hand, he was dressed in a set of light green and white clothes, which had a design similar to that of warrior's clothing, helpful to wear in training.

As for those individuals, they were all wearing the silver and gold uniforms of Minos' army.

"Young master, Ernest has sent some information recently." One of the soldiers said this with a satisfied expression on his face.

It was terrific to bring good news in these difficult days of the war!

"Has he gotten any good results?" Minos asked, remembering that that soldier was in the part of the Brown Kingdom that was not suffering from the wrath of war.

A few weeks ago, Ernest had been sent to such a place by Minos to put pressure on their enemy families. And since he was already strong enough to have regional influence and the state was not so large, such a Lieutenant had quickly begun to act!

"Yes, young master."

"We received the first communication from Lieutenant Ernest after he arrived in the central part of the Brown Kingdom."

"He has already acted against two families in that region, and some of the children and wives of enemy experts are already in our hands."

"We are just waiting for more people to fall into the hands of Lieutenant Ernest's team so that we can take the credit for these kidnappings." Such a soldier finished notifying Minos.

They could not simply attack these enemy outposts and start demanding the withdrawal of the enemy members of these families. If such a thing was done, then other noble houses could act before Ernest's group, spoiling Minos' plans.

As for the possibility of these people at war on the Black Plain finding out about such acts of Ernest, well, that would not be simple. That is because that man sent by Minos was not killing all his enemies and was taking care to eliminate the soul lamps of those who were killed.

Without such a thing, it would be impossible for the members of those organizations to discover the death of their members!

In any case, their plans were not infallible, and there were chances that their enemies would suspect something and react against them. However, the Minos side had not planned something absurd, imagining 100% success.

They knew that it was impossible to act against all the organizations in the Brown Kingdom that were at war against them. So, they were not targeting every possible enemy but those most relevant.

And this could be done quickly enough so that their chances of success were not bad!

Hence, the army's plans for Ernest's group were going well so far, and only a few more actions remained until they could use this card up their sleeve!

"Very good!" Minos said, pleased after hearing that soldier's words. "Let's continue with the plan for now..."

"Maybe we can hurt the enemy side a little."

"Yes!"

"Some high-level Spiritual Kings will surely have to return to their families after they realize the accomplishments of this group..."

Those soldiers commented in agreement, interested in how Ernest's actions might influence the war.

But they did not have only that to discuss. Consequently, soon one of them brought up another subject. "Young master, Lieutenant Angela managed to reach level 56 in the early hours of yesterday morning."

"Oh?"

"That's great! How are the movements of those two?" So, Minos asked about Angela and Celeste.

"Following the arrival of information about Lieutenant Angela's breakthrough, Lieutenants Pyke and Barbara, were told to leave headquarters and head toward their new posts."

"With that, Lieutenants Angela and Celeste should be back in Dry City in no more than two days."

"Good!"

"Then we will prepare s my departure for three days." Minos expressed, looking forward to traveling around the region, visiting places he had not yet seen, and dealing with some people.

Since the enemy acted bravely with their low-level soldiers on the Black Plain while the leaders were hiding around the region, Minos would do the favor of showing the desperation of war to these sovereigns!

He was going out on a hunting trip!

The regional kings wanted to bring people from outside the region to deal with him. So, Minos could only do what was at his disposal, to kill these enemies who were hiding, threatening him, and disturbing the peace in the region...

Gulp!

One of them swallowed his saliva thoughtfully, worried about the short-term future of the Black Plain. "So soon, young master?"

"Don't worry, with these two women, Emlyn, Abby's father, and the supreme elder Miller here, they will protect the city as well as I do."

"On the other hand, by the time the enemy realizes that I am not in Dry City, I will probably have accomplished several parts of my mission..."

"In the meantime, other soldiers will also get stronger, so nothing serious should happen," Minos said confidently.

One could never be sure about something that has not happened yet. But if something capable of destroying Dry City were to happen during this period that he would be away, then it would not make any difference to these people whether he would be here or not.

But him being outside Dry City, acting around the region, could make a lot of difference to the Black Plain. After all, if he could kill at least one more king, that would undoubtedly put the Counter-Revolutionary Army in a vulnerable situation.

And that way, he could do what was best for the Black Plain, for the people of this city!

"In any case, you must endure whatever happens in this period."

"While I am gone, my high-level grade-2 sword will probably arrive in Dry City, and I will at least get a level increase."

"After that, the scales of war should alter the current imbalance in our favor..."

"So, we will be very close to our independence!" He said, cheering those soldiers of his.

Upon hearing such a thing, those individuals felt much better as they began to think about how glorious the future of the Black Plain could be, something that really should not be far off.

At the present moment, someone who saw this war might say that the forces of Dry City were at a disadvantage in the war. But in six months or perhaps less, that could change rapidly!

Minos would undoubtedly be more than halfway to level 53 after such a period, and several Spiritual Kings in Dry City would be able to advance their powers. Not only them, but several Spiritual Generals were about to reach the 6th stage!

As in the example of the members of the Elite Squad!

Such a group had had its first three Spiritual Kings in the past six to eight months. But those three, Viola, Pyke, and Barbara, were the most advanced of that force, i.e., not a very numerous group.

However, there were many Spiritual Generals between levels 47 and 48 when Viola advanced. Thus, since it had already been five months since her advancement, many soldiers could advance a stage with another six months!

Consequently, the winds favorable to the Black Plain were finally coming!

And in this way, those people ended their previous conversation, much more relieved about Minos' temporary absence in Dry City.
