A few days after Minos' first deal with the Divine Continent mercenaries, he secured 16 level 89 Sages.
Having passed through The Crimson Fortress, his group immediately made their way to their last stop before heading towards the Frost family headquarters.
The number of Sages on their side was already excellent, but Minos wanted to complete the 20 men after finding out from those mercenaries that they could reach other men like them.
Before, he was not sure how many mercenaries at that level existed in Grinia Empire, so he could accept a lesser number in his group. But upon hearing that there were around 40 level 89 mercenaries, he decided to complete the group of 20 men.
So, through the recommendation of the mercenaries already assembled so far, he and his group finally arrived at the last location where they would pass through to invite 4 more members to this group.
...
"Jacob, Isla, Sam, what are you doing so close to my headquarters?" A level 89 man standing in front of a bridge one meter wide and 50 meters long exclaimed to the people in the group ahead of his location.
A few minutes ago, his men had spotted an extremely powerful group by their standards approaching their site.
And even though they were approaching slowly, without hiding their movements, and with no indication that they were there with bad intentions, the people in this place couldn't help but get nervous.
How not to fear a group with 16 people at the same level as their 6 leaders?
As such, the thin, red-haired man at the head of several high-level Sages was in combat position at the moment in front of his headquarters.
The three leaders of the mercenary groups making up Minos' team smiled at the misunderstanding.
Then their strongest woman, Isla, said. "Nathan, stay calm. I'm the one who brought them here. Don't worry. As your friend, I would never do anything bad to you."
"You? And you still call yourself my friend?" Nathan exclaimed.
She bitterly laughed and explained. "We're not here to attack or threaten you. We are forming a group to help this young man accomplish something.
He will pay us 10,000 high-grade crystals each of us and will also give us a bonus of 500,000 high-grade crystals if we complete the mission.
We will be able to divide this amount equally between us!"
Upon hearing that, that man frowned, a little shocked by the amount. But he didn't move immediately.
He looked at Minos, this level 80 young man with a cultivation base as solid as a level 82 person.
"Who are you? What are your plans?" He questioned, still prepared to fight if necessary.
"My name is Minos Stuart. I am the emperor of the Black Plain Empire, a state in the Central Continent. I am in search of a family that threatened me months ago. I intend to deal with the leaders of that family with the help of mercenaries." Minos summed it up as best he could.
Hearing about the Black Plain, those people in Nathan's group and himself expressed their strangeness because they knew nothing about this state.
But hearing that he was a sovereign, the doubt about his ability to pay such a debt disappeared from their minds almost immediately.
As much as the Central Continent was less prosperous than the Divine Continent and Minos didn't seem like the leader of a high-level state, his empire probably had Sages. In that case, the wealth production of that place should be enough to meet such an exacerbated expenditure.
Leading organizations was the best work people could have in the Spiritual World!

"Against whom do you wish to act? How strong is the strongest man in the enemy group?" Nathan asked.
"It is a family that lives in seclusion. You have probably never heard their surname... When it comes to the strongest one, he is at the peak of level 91, and there are a dozen cultivators between levels 90 and 91."
"It won't be an easy battle." He commented, uncertain about this mission.
"If it were easy, the prize wouldn't be so high," Minos said before increasing. "If you kill any of these Demigods, I will also let you keep part of their belongings. So carefully think before you refuse."
Isla then said. "Nathan, come with us. We have four spots left in our group. We can work together and get those crystals!"
He looked at the leaders of three of the six most powerful mercenary groups in the Grinia Empire and was silent for a moment, feeling that it made sense to consider this mission.
"His Majesty Stuart said we will meet for joint training in a few days further north of our position. Anyone at that time who decides to drop out won't be stopped from leaving, and we will still be guaranteed half of the 10,000 crystals." Sam said aloud.
"Oh? If that's the case, we can move on with your group." After considering all the odds, Nathan finally lowered his guards and beckoned his people to back off.
With that, he quickly picked three more high-level men from his group and introduced himself to Minos and the rest of that party.
"Well? How shall we proceed?" He asked as he came closer to Minos and received the crystals from his team.
Minos nodded to Fermo and said. "From now on, we will head north, meeting the rest of his group.
When we get together with the people he has assembled, we will finish planning what we intend to do and do some training together.
You will understand whether or not it will be worth moving forward at that time."
Those high-level people looked at the level 86 hybrid and saw no problem.
Some of them were hybrids too, and they knew how strong these beings were. So no one there doubted this fellow's abilities.
"Are we far from your group? How many and how strong are they?" A level 89 woman asked.
Fermo looked at that expert and said. "Part of my group is where we will infiltrate. But those we will meet are not far away, only one week traveling north.
As for their numbers, 30 spiritual beasts between levels 84 and 88 should be waiting for us there."
Those experts realized why Minos was only looking for high-level mercenaries.
He already had the mid-level ones on his side!
"Will that be enough? I mean, even if there are only a few Demigods in the enemy group, there should be plenty of Spiritual Sages to stand in our way." One of them said.
Minos then assured them. "Don't worry about those. None of you will have to worry about Sages, not even the Fermo people.
Such enemies will not stand in your way."
