The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1369

"What?" Patience said in surprise after hearing his grandson's words.

On the other hand, Oswald was already used to Minos' way of talking to him, so he was not so impressed by being called an old man.

"What are you talking about, Minos? You are only at level 67. How do you intend to do this?" He asked, looking with interest at his grandson.

Oswald wanted Minos to take his place so he could travel the Spiritual World with Patience in those last few years of his life. But he had matters to take care of, to end the war with the Saints Killing Sect, to fight alongside his grandson at least once, and to leave that organization in the hands of someone capable.

He believed that Minos would be capable when he reached level 70, as previously agreed. But, at the same time, that would be enough time for him to at least resolve or improve the sect's situation regarding the conflict it was currently involved in.

Hence, since Minos had not yet reached what was needed, this man could not help but question him.

"I am already capable of commanding this sect. Moreover, you don't have to give me all the responsibilities at once. We can make the transition of power gradually, with you maintaining your presence for another two or three years. After that, I will take over the entire command of the sect." He said, confident that his wife's plan was not bad and that the Gray Clouds Sect could help him greatly in the fight against Abe.

Patience found Minos' sudden interest in becoming the leader of this sect strange and connected the dots. "Are you doing this because you want to use the sect to fight on the Black Plain, my son? Sigh! You shouldn't think like that. Besides being very selfish, what do you think will change? We are at war with the Saints Killing Sect."

"Have you forgotten?"

Oswald also realized Minos' intentions, while that young man's wives sighed.

But Minos was reassured. "We can solve both things. First, I can help the sect defeat the Saints Killing Sect, and then you will give me the power I need to solve my problems in the northern region."

The two elders frowned, finding Minos strange.

If it were that easy to solve the problem with their enemy sect, they would have done such a thing long ago!

As such, Oswald could not help but ask this bold young man. "So tell me, how do you intend to do this? I don't know how to solve the problem in the short term."

"If you give us a good answer, we can do what you want. Help you for another 2 or 3 years, but already give you that position you want." Patience complemented her husband's words.

Hearing this, Minos smiled and said. "I will use the fusion of my main techniques. Then I will throw that against the enemy headquarters."

With those words, the two elders rose from their seats, remembering that Minos had that frightening mass destruction weapon that had created the Volcanic Region between the Flaming Empire and Rosser.

Oswald then said. "I heard that you can't teleport with that thing. So how do you intend to bring that thing on the Black Plain here without being noticed by your enemies and ours?"

Like many other regional leaders near the Black Plain, Oswald knew about Minos' black hole and the Black Hole Bomb. After all, they had to keep an eye out for anything threatening, whether from friends or enemies.

Besides, Maisie knew about the Black Hole Bombs in Dry City behind the Black Plain Army's unique cultivation rooms. So it was evident that these people would know too.

On the other hand, a trip between Dry City and the headquarters of the Saints Killing Sect could take months, considering Minos' cultivation. Thus, since he could not teleport, this might be a risk to the Black Plain but also to the Gray Clouds Sect since the Saints Killing Sect would definitely notice Minos' movement.

After all, they were also watching this young emperor!

With that, Oswald could not help but raise those questions before even talking about how crazy Minos' plan to destroy a high-level organization in the empire was.

Minos then smiled before explaining to his grandfather. "I don't intend to use the Black Hole Bombs that are on the Black Plain. They serve to frighten enemies who are unaware of my absence."

"Then what are you going to do?" His grandmother questioned him.

"I am going to develop new black holes and buy more arrays capable of withstanding the power of these fusions of my techniques." He laughed. "I will do what I have already done on the Black Plain, but on the battlefield between the forces of this sect and our enemies."

"When we are powerful enough, we will attack their main outpost, finalizing our problems." He said before adding. "Of course, it won't be easy to get to it, considering my weapon will probably scare them off. But if it were that easy, I would have done it long before..."

The two elders understood Minos' plan, realizing why he had the confidence to solve something that even they could not solve.

"I see..."

"That plan seems dangerous, but with a good margin of success..." Oswald commented as he tried to predict what would happen should his forces use something so powerful.

'That would be catastrophic!'

But then Patience touched on the most worrying point in all of this. "Even if your plan is not impossible, it is still no good. Do you think the Edwardstone family will allow us to destroy one of the strongest organizations in the empire? We only have the approval to fight because the emperor knows we don't have the strength to annihilate each other!"

Upon hearing this, Oswald returned to reality, clenching his fists in frustration. "It's true. Even if everything works out regarding what you have planned, we can't eradicate them. That would be negative for the empire."

Gloria and Ruth realized this problem, something the two natives of this state had not considered when they were preparing to follow the plans made by their husband.

Minos frowned at this since he still did not have enough influence with Harold to do this and be all right. 'That's right. He's still much stronger than I am, and I still can't be influential enough to move him that way...'

'I'll destroy that sect sooner or later, but for now, it's okay for me to take a step back if it means I'll be able to get rid of the damned Abe Vogel.'

"I see your point," Minos said seriously. "We don't need to destroy them. Instead, we can hurt some of the important pillars of that sect and accept their surrender when they eventually cry out for it."

"I think the emperor will find that reasonable, no? We will just win the war and return to peace in the empire after a few experts die."

The two elders improved their expressions upon hearing these sweet words from Minos.
