The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1211-30041322

When that woman's voice spread to the surrounding area, everyone who did not know what was happening, whether they were members of the Church or royal guards, was surprised.

Apparently, something terrible had happened, and the Spiritual Church was turning against the Vogel family, something extremely shocking to every person in the vicinity of the royal palace.

With this, the members of the Church were slowly tightening their fists as they prepared to obey their leader's command, even if they still did not understand what had motivated this.

The royal guards also began to move, fearful for their own lives, considering the size of this enemy.

The local Church outpost did not have significant numbers of experts to put this entire organization at risk, but there were people strong enough to cause chaos for the Vogel family.

So, quickly those who knew nothing began to take up fighting positions.

On the other hand, the Vogel family's vassals near the royal palace were open-mouthed, not knowing what to do. Of course, they should stand by the royal family, but considering that the Church was the enemy of the day, they did not want to get involved.

What would happen if they defeated or even killed people from the Church?

Surely some kind of revenge would happen!

Therefore, to protect themselves, many did not even wait to see how the situation would develop and already left from there towards their headquarters.

'Time for me to go into seclusion!' An old Spiritual Saint flew south without looking back.

Meanwhile, citizens in the vicinity of the capital's central square were already rushing away from that area, fearful of what was about to happen.

From the tone of the voice reverberating through the surroundings earlier, an expert conflict could happen in the middle of this city. So each one who heard that wasted no time and soon began to run away, little by little creating turmoil in that part of the city.

"Run! Run!"

"There's a problem in the royal palace! The Spiritual Church is acting against the royal family!"

Shouts rang out from around the area as a few concerned citizens tried to warn those farther away from the palace.

As the 'weather' in that area adjusted for the 'storm' about to form, King Vogel, his wife, and a few more Spiritual Saints appeared a few hundred meters from Minos' group.

"What is the meaning of this, Clarissa?" He asked the Church leader in this state with a deadly expression on his face.

The queen was also looking at that white-haired woman, clenching her fists tightly, while feeling angry that this woman she thought was a friend was acting against them.

"Clarissa, how can you say those words?"

"I don't know what kind of fantasy you have in mind, but our centuries of friendship not even give us the benefit of the doubt? You could have come to us in private before you spoke such things and made us look like criminals!" The king's wife said, clearly with many negative feelings against that person.

Clarissa looked at them and felt a little strange, knowing that they did indeed deserve the benefit of the doubt. But it was hard for her to ignore that the family of those people had stabbed the Church when, for hundreds of thousands of years, such an organization had had good relations with them.

At the same time, Minos had a mighty weapon in his hands and was determined to act against these people. So how could she give them the benefit of the doubt?

In other scenarios, she could even have come over there to talk before something more radical, but Minos had Gloria on his side, and they would be able to denounce this family with or without her help. Since she did not want to be harmed by the crime of House Vogel, she had decided to put aside her friendship with these people and act against them!

And thinking how they were secretly running away when she and her group arrived there, Clarissa could not help but respond, irritated. "When I came here, I had only suspicions, Alice. But considering your nervousness and these people running away, it seems that everything young Pyke said was true..."

"You have dared to disrespect the Church and even plotted against one of our own!"

"That crime is unforgivable!"

The people in the surrounding area who still knew nothing finally realized the problem, many of them beginning to look at the figure of their leaders with questioning looks.

They wanted to know why these people had done such a stupid thing!

King Vogel looked at Minos and felt terrible that a level 61 insect had put him in this situation. "Brat, what's wrong with you? Why are you trying to destroy my family? What grudge do we have?"

Minos calmly said. "How about one of your Spiritual Saints trying to kill my wives and me? That person even sacrificed himself, putting my pregnant wife at risk!"

"Is that reason enough for you?"

King Vogel closed his mouth after hearing Minos' words, knowing that this was enough, even more so, considering that they were part of a power of a higher level than that masked person.

Great organizations did not need to impose respect by eliminating families. But they occasionally did similar things. The reason? Simple, so they would not have to do it again.

Some people simply would not follow the rules and would cause trouble. But a criminal only commits a crime if he has no alternative but to commit it or is confident that they can get rid of the negative consequences of it.

So, to decrease the number of possible offenders as much as possible, great powers would punish exemplarily to avoid having to repeatedly deal with the same problems.

Because of this, although it may not seem enough that the acts of one person or a few people put a death sentence on an entire organization, this was what the powerful in this world deemed necessary for their peace of mind to exist.

Minos thought so, and so did King Vogel.

Because of this, this man could not say hypocritical words to try to show that this young man could not see things this way when he had already dealt with others like this.

The queen then said. "None of this is our fault. We didn't even know about your problems until a few minutes ago! So how will we have to deal with it now?"

Minos replied. "I don't know. I just know that with my children, I will teach them not to be such idiots as to act against innocents while disrespecting a power far greater than their own."

"You know? The world has its balance... Abe Vogel disrespected such a thing by sending Spiritual Saints to the poor Black Plain for no apparent reason."

He then said in a provocative tone. "Poor Vogel family royalty... How unfair of them to have to pay for their heir's crime... But the Stuart family, haha, that should have just disappeared. They were very dangerous demons, right? If they died for no reason, would anyone cry out for the world's injustice?"

"Yeah, well, your family almost wiped out another for no reason while defying the laws of the Spiritual Church. So, now don't complain about this nonsense and accept the consequences!" He said in an irritated tone, making everyone look at him in silence due to the truths in his speech.
