The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1089

A few weeks passed...

While the Brown Kingdom and the Cromwell Kingdom were dealing with the problem of invaders, Minos was taking care of these matters at the local government headquarters.

"Your Grace, the Brown and Cromwell families have already finished passing on the update on the numbers of invaders in their states." A middle-aged woman said this as she respectfully looked toward the royal throne. "To the north of our state, there are already at least 3,000 Spiritual Kings, while to the south, 4,000 people at the same stage, all of them coming from Albano."

Another person then commented. "On the other hand, the army estimates that a few hundred invaders have successfully infiltrated the area east of the Black Plain. Unfortunately, we do not have the exact location or information of these people, Your Grace."

The royal guardsmen in the surrounding area sharpened their eyes upon hearing this, while Minos remained in his seat without much change.

"Looks like these individuals are not just migrating, eh?" He commented in a low voice, but everyone there understood his opinion perfectly.

An army soldier then commented. "Yes, otherwise, they would not need to camp outside the Black Plain or secretly enter our state... That is a warning sign!"

"It seems that forces outside the region are already coveting us..." Another person commented.

"What do we do about it, Your Grace? We've barely managed to get in their way on the Black Plain..." Joey, who was also standing there, asked.

Minos closed his eyes momentarily and said. "For now, let's let them continue to group up. If they truly have negative intentions towards the Black Plain, it will be easier to deal with them this way..."

Eduard, standing quietly there, swallowed his saliva and asked. "Does Your Grace intend to act on your own?"

The eyes of several of those people opened wider, while some of the less intelligent ones understood the situation. 'He's going to allow them to get together to facilitate a slaughter!'

Minos nodded in agreement. "Acting against them while they are scattered throughout the region will be difficult. After all, I am only one person. But if they are in the same location, that will make things easier..."

"Anyway, let's see how the situation develops. I want to avoid showing the full power of the Black Plain to organizations outside the northern region as much as possible. But keep an eye on the movements of these invading rats."

"If they abuse my compassion, we will act!"

"Yes, Your Grace!" Several voices sounded before some soldiers and government agents took their leave.

After the royal throne hall became a little emptier, Minos looked at Joey and ordered. "Send messages to the Snow Kingdom and Kingdom of the End. I want Linette, Jade Carline, and Adam Snow to come to Dry City as soon as possible."

"I will help them get to level 60."

"Oh?" Voices charged with surprise arose in the surroundings.

Joey asked. "Does Your Grace want to increase the power of these subordinates so they can help us with problems in our future?"

"Hmmm." Minos nodded in agreement. "Some subordinates are naturally more valuable than others. So, it won't be unfair to give them that opportunity. But on the other hand, I want to place Spiritual Emperors in the four corners of the region."

"For now, only the Black Plain, Stone Island, and that place of cowards in the Endless Snow Mountain Range have Spiritual Emperors."

"That's not good enough." He said as he made a solemn expression.

Other than those with good relations with him, like some Stone Island powers and vassals of his, no one else in the region was able to advance to the 7th stage these past years.

In fact, the Stone Island powers could only do so because Minos allowed them to use the low-level grade-3 cultivation room in the Dry City Cultivation Tower. As such, those who did not have access to the Black Plain's capital core in this period were still limited by level 59.

That was the case for those two women and also for King Snow.

"With that, I will help those three advance, which will help us improve our position across the region with people powerful enough to protect and observe movements in those states."

It would be good for him to allow more people to have that chance, but other than King Carline, there were no other high-level Spiritual Kings outside of the Black Plain capable of breaking the regional limit in a short time.

He knew that Wilfred had improved significantly in recent years, but someone with problematic foundations was not good enough. As for this man's mother, she was not so bad, but her age and how she reached level 59 was a problem.

On the other hand, the Brown Kingdom and the Cromwell Kingdom had no one close to level 59, so there were no other people for him to bring over to his side.

"All right, Your Grace. I will communicate with the Snow and Carline families immediately!" Joey left after saying those words.

After settling these matters, Minos chatted with Lizzie for a few moments and left for the residential area of his royal palace.

He then had fun with Brooke for a few minutes, and before sunset, he made his way to the Spatial Kingdom, where Abby and Ruth were.

Upon arriving in that place full of Elite Squad soldiers, Minos went directly to his wives' training grounds, where Abby was cultivating and Ruth was testing her techniques.

"Abby will take long?" Minos asked Ruth as he approached from behind that black-haired beauty.

"No." She smiled at him and stopped what she was doing to melt into his arms. "Too much trouble? I see you've been having fun before you came to train with us... That's unusual."

"Hmm, but for the moment, there's nothing I can do... At this point, the best thing to do is to let things develop without interference."

They then kissed after Minos sighed, standing there hugging until Abby's voice interrupted them. "Very good! Enjoying your time while I cultivate, huh? And what do I do now?"

Seeing the smile on his queen's face, Minos waved one of his fingers and made her float to his position. "If you want, I can give you a taste before we begin..."

"Oh? Have I ever refused you?" She joked.

"Several times in the past..."

After that, he kissed her intensely, making the beautiful blue-haired woman almost lose her breath and feel her body warming up considerably.

"Minos..."

"Hmm, let's do that later after you level up." He smiled as he realized the condition of Abby's cultivation. "After this training today, I feel that there is more than 80% chance that you will reach level 60 when you go to cultivate later."

Abby's eyes sparkled at that comment. Of course, she already felt the same way, but hearing that from him was even better than just trusting her intuition. And considering how much she longed for that breakthrough, she could not help but smile happily.

"OK then. But we'll have some time alone before we get on with our things..." She looked at Minos and then at Ruth, making her goals clear for that woman.

"No need to say it. I already figured you'd want to do that." Ruth chuckled graciously, not the least bit annoyed.

After moving forward, Abby would change her entire body. So, Ruth already imagined that Minos' queen would want to give all her best to him later...

"Well, shall we get started then?" Minos asked the two, indicating the sides of their fighting stage.

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement, running to their positions.

He then said. "I will only use my defensive technique to fight you, while I will use some of the Infinite Dream to temper your mental strengths."

"All right?"

The two nodded, already in fighting stances, waiting for his signal for the fight to begin.

Minos could be in a disadvantageous position by having so many of his powers out of play in this match. But even so, he could still put pressure on both of them. As such, they were serious about this training!

"Start!" He shouted as he circulated his energies into his Indestructible Body.
