The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-2526

With the ten allies near the peak where the portal was and the men from Firestone Mines, Minos talked about his plans of action.

'We need to act quickly, so let's follow a simple plan.' He said in the minds of these alien men and women, members of three different forces, all there to deal with Firestone Mines.

They would not gather in one place. That would be too risky, with the potential to attract enemy attention. While they were all in different positions near the top of the hill, Minos continued to mentally communicate with them.

'I need three of you to accompany me and install the sabotage devices our forces have given us. You will come with me to the portal, while the others will prepare to attack the members of Firestones Mines if the four of us draw the attention of the enemy or get into trouble.

Once we've detonated the portal and ensured its destruction, if our group isn't under heavy attack, we'll split up and flee the area.'

Minos finished explaining his plan, something simple but also detailed and easy to understand the roles of everyone.

'Who will go with you?' asked one of the two strongest members of the group. His gaze turned towards the portal where every few minutes wagons came and went from this huge spatial distortion.

The Firestone Mines portal was as big as a building, with a large rectangular arch separating the surrounding space from the area of the spatial distortion, capable of being used as a passageway even by giant beings.

On the outskirts of this portal was a large stone platform and many tents, with a military encampment on top of it, something that would prevent almost any group from passing through this part of the Lost Soul Trail today.

Minos replied, also with an eye to the problems ahead. 'We can't take the strongest or the weakest in the group. They should stay behind, ready to help us if we run into trouble.

Therefore, all three of them must be level 112 cultivators.'

The leader of the first trio that Minos approached agreed to take the risk with him, while the other two teams decided who would go with them.

'How are you going to help us fight?' The other level 113 cultivator in the area asked as he watched everyone prepare to put the plan into action.

'Don't worry, my life will be in danger if the seven of you can't support the four of us. If you have to fight, you know how I'll help you,' Minos replied as he prepared to act, while his three infiltration companions slowly and cautiously approached his position.

The others didn't feel so comfortable with Minos' answer and turned their eyes to his position for a moment. But he had sworn an oath, something that would compromise him if he didn't keep his promises.

Trusting Minos' oath, they took their positions for the start of this dangerous mission.

'Let's go. Time to act.' Minos said to the three who had arrived at his side, not hesitating to take the first steps forward.

The three followed behind him, stepping exactly where Minos stepped, so carefully that they seemed to be walking above eggs.

Their breathing became almost imperceptible to themselves, while the group watching them sweated nervously, their energies moving in their bodies, ready to act at any moment.

Minos sensed what was about to happen and led his people along the best possible path to avoid as many guards as possible.

Ideally, it would be perfect if they could reach the portal, place their sabotage devices, and then flee the area without a fight. This, however, bordered on the impossible.

With so many men nearby, they would run into trouble at some point of the infiltration.

Minos delayed the trouble as long as he could and reached the position of three level 112 men in his path.

'There is no way we can avoid a confrontation with these three.' Minos turned to his companions as he paused behind a tent just 33 meters from the enemy portal.

The three broke into a cold sweat when they heard this. Three level 112 men as enemies was a guarantee that they would fail!

They were only level 112 Sovereigns. It would be almost impossible to stop those three without causing an uproar!

'What are we going to do?' one man asked worriedly. 'Do we get our allies to move?'

'I'll take care of them. You go ahead and arm your detonators,' Minos prepared to act.

The three looked at him strangely, as they had not seen enough of Minos to believe he was capable of something as impressive as dealing with three level 112 opponents.

"Stand aside.' Minos moved away from the three allies, preparing for the chaos to begin.

Before taking the decisive step here, he communicated with the other seven, 'Prepare to fight in 20 seconds!'

They all swallowed their saliva while the three looked at Minos, sweating profusely. 20 seconds was more than enough for them to arm their sabotage devices, but not enough to escape the battle.

However, with no other choice, the three prepared to proceed without Minos and take advantage of the position he wanted to give them by acting.

When they all signaled that they were ready, Minos made the Divine Seal and summoned three black coffins containing level 112 corpses to that place.

Upon seeing this, the level 112 man Minos had first approached opened his eyes wide and understood the source of Minos' confidence.

'So that's it! He can summon warriors far away from us!'

As the three of them hid and prepared to run at Minos' signal, the three enemy level 112 Sovereigns nearby sensed something was wrong in Minos' direction.

However, when they went to check, Minos' cultivation had already reached level 108, while deadly cuts appeared on their bodies.

'Now!' Minos said to his three allies, causing them to run towards the portal while staring at him in awe.

Ignoring the looks in his direction, Minos didn't let the three enemies he had just dealt with die in vain. Using his innate ability, he transferred the cultivation of those three to some of his allies nearby.

By doing so, he also drew the attention of all the dozens of Sovereigns in the Firestone Miles camp!
