By now, it was already night in the Black Plain region when two people were walking through the busy streets of a specific town.

These two were discreetly dressed, with oversized overcoats and black hats, which made them a common sight among the many people passing by on the sidewalk where they were walking.

And as these two walked calmly through this town, they could see a street well lit by spiritual arrays, where many stores and business establishments were still open.

There were stores of grade-1 blacksmiths, array masters, and alchemists, all of them of the same rank, where the locals could buy and repair their items.

On the other hand, the local cuisine would not be shamed even if it were considered the regional standard. That is, there was even a restaurant famous in this town for having a low-level grade-2 chef.

And with so many possibilities, it was no wonder that this place was home to hundreds of thousands of people.

Consequently, even if there were some poorer parts of this city, where even the streets were lit up by whale oil, this town had a natural bustle even during the nights.

But although the reality of this place was somewhat interesting, the two people walking through the central streets of this town were not very concerned about things like this.

No, the moment the two set foot on the sidewalk around a sizeable fort, they both became slower than before, as if they were enjoying the local beauty. As such, this couple was holding hands at the moment while walking very close to each other and whispering.

"There is a low-level grade-2 defensive array in this location..." A soft voice said this.

"Hmm, our group has scanned all over the city, and the Spiritual King of this location is nowhere to be found... That is, he is inside that fort!"

"So, when will we act?"

Her companion then looked to the side of the street, where at the moment, some people on top of various types of beasts were passing by. He then said. "Let's wait until midnight. By that time, the street movement should have slowed down."

"OK!"

At the same time, she said this, she stopped walking and turned to him. Then the two of them hugged and kissed each other in the middle of that place while still standing on the sidewalk of that fort in the middle of that town.

"We have the signal. Disperse around the enemy fort and wait until the destruction of the barrier of this place." Someone said this in a low voice while walking alongside a group of 4 people.

"All right, let's go!" The other individuals in that group said goodbye as they departed in different directions.

Simultaneously, 20 other groups like that had the same reaction, only at different points in that neighborhood of the Maritime City!

Each group had to spread out in that area as soon as the group that was watching Minos and Abby did such a thing. As such, it was not long before all those soldiers mixed into the crowd of people in that city and went to their respective posts.

After three days since the great battle that had taken place on the outskirts of Dry City, Minos and a few dozen soldiers had come towards this city to finish the local invasion!

At first, the plan was to do this next week, when only the main fort of this place remained to be taken by Minos' forces.

But the arrival of the Silva family forces had frightened the young Stuart. Because of that, he had immediately requested a meeting with his administrative soldiers that day after talking with Eliot so that the necessary adjustments to the plans of this mission could be made.

At that meeting, Minos had decided that Dry City would be temporarily under Dillian's supervision during those days that he would be away. At the same time, that young man's butler would be able to use the help of the Miller family members to protect that city in case of need.

Meanwhile, Eduard was in the Spatial Kingdom waiting to come to Maritime City to replace the Spiritual King of this place.

This man had leveled up two days after his last fight, which made him ideal for taking the place of the level 52 enemy in this place!

Other than that, Abby and several Black Plain Army Spiritual Generals had accompanied young Stuart on this mission, where they would take over the main fort of this city.

At the same time as this, other soldiers who had been in this city previously would deal with the other remaining forces of the royal family in this region so that there would be no more enemies left in this place at the end of this operation.

But as much as Minos' group wanted to deal with this state noble families members that were in this city, this would be very risky. So, some of the soldiers coming from Dry City would just watch such individuals, preventing them from seeing something they shouldn't.

However, as long as such people didn't get involved or see things they shouldn't, the forces from Dry City wouldn't act against them.

As for the problems this could bring, well, they weren't great. After all, these individuals would hardly know all the royal guards in this town or even have frequent encounters with such people.

Most of these members of this state noble families were here to do business with people coming and going from the Brown Kingdom through the sea. As such, the subordinate of the royal family in charge of this place would not constantly meet with such people.

That was something that Minos' army administration already knew since hundreds of royal guards from the other forts had already been interrogated.

But even if Minos and his group were unlucky and someone wanted to find the Spiritual King responsible for this place, it wouldn't be out of the question if such an individual disappeared. That is because it would not be strange if such an individual went into seclusion from time to time to cultivate and train his spiritual techniques.

Hence, even if Minos' group was very unlucky, they could still solve this without trying to take control of these members of the noble families in this city.

And with all this in mind, each of the soldiers from Minos' army in this city was already following their respective roles. Some were in that central part of the Maritime City where most of the remaining enemies were.

But others were preparing to act against the royal guards of less critical forts in the more distant areas of this mid-sized city.

...

Finally, midnight arrived in the Maritime City.

The movement in the streets of this city had slowed down considerably, to the point that few people were coming and going through the central area.

And just at this moment, the action of Minos' group began, as each of those soldiers started to change positions around that fort, all of them with similar arrays in their hands.

Such things looked like metal boxes, completely silver, but with the same opening on one of their sides, through which spiritual crystals could be placed.

"Activate!" Someone said in a low voice, causing the person closest to him to repeat that to the next, and in less than 10 seconds, all those individuals did the same.

Immediately the noise cancellation arrays were activated, making that central area of Maritime City completely 'mute' from its surroundings.

Eventually, after noticing the silence in his surroundings, something familiar for people inside and outside the area affected by that type of array, Minos took one of his swords from his spatial ring. He then promptly made a move towards the defensive barrier of that fort.

Spatial Sword!

Explosive Steps!

At the same time as that, he activated his movement technique and started running towards that place, even before that defensive barrier broke into infinite pieces.

"Ah! How sleepy... Hey, hey, what's that?" One of the guards of that fort said that out loud, right after yawning and jumping up from where he was sitting.

And just at that instant when this guard had shouted that, the greenish barrier of such a place exploded, and a brown-haired young man appeared running towards the interior of that fort!

"What the fuck is that?"
