The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-837

While the troops coming from the Kingdom of the Waves were moving only a few weeks away from the Black Plain, the troops from the Kingdom of the End of the Snow Kingdom were also not far away.

In the case of the troops coming from the Kingdom of the End, since the distance between this state and the Black Plain was too great, they traveled much of the why by ship. That was something that could transport them with more safety and a speed similar to the low-level beasts used by that state's organizations.

And with that, they were already landing their troops in the Peninsula of the Waves, from where they would proceed overland to the Black Plain.

After all, there was a naval fleet around the Black Plain; while coming by land from the south of that state, they could enter the part of the enemy territory under the command of the allied forces.

That way, it was more worthwhile to finish that part of the journey by land!

As for the case of the troops coming from the Snow Kingdom, well, that state was not that much further away from the Black Plain than some parts of the Kingdom of the Waves. Because of this, the forces coming from that area were also coming overland.

But unlike the other two groups traveling south of the Kingdom of the Waves, the group gathered by the Snow family was east of the Brown Kingdom, heading towards the Black Plain.

The Snow family had managed to transport their troops out of the northern region of the Central Continent, through the state bordering the Brown Kingdom to the east and the Snow Kingdom to the south.

They had made such a journey because of the extensive mountain range that stretched from the north of the Snow Kingdom to the beginning of the Black Plain, in the vicinity of Yellow City.

The Endless Snow Mountain Range. A tiring and costly place to cross!

So, even with such a natural barrier in their way, the Snow family had also managed to send troops to fight Minos by the deadline set by the Counterrevolutionary Statute!

...

But while the massive troops from each of those states were approaching the Brown Kingdom, the leaders of each of those forces were already on the Black Plain!

Unlike the ordinary soldiers and those Spiritual Kings needed to protect those groups, the leaders of each of the forces had traveled separately, using fast beasts.

With this, they could spend less time outside their regions of sovereignty, thus taking fewer risks.

In any case, more than 30 high-level Spiritual Kings were already in the Brown Kingdom now, all of them in a large Brown family camp in the northeastern part of the Black Plain.

Not only were the leaders coming from those three states north of the Brown Kingdom here, but there were also representatives from the state to the south, the Cromwell Kingdom.

Only the people from Stone Island could not be seen in this place at the moment since the ruling family of that state had decided to break their promises to the statute.

So, several of those people were meeting in a large tent, talking about what they should do next and some critical deadlines.

"My friends, it is good to know that we can count on your solidarity at this challenging time..." Thomas said this aloud, smiling at seeing all these people here.

And as he waved a cup in his hand, several of the people there raised their cups, waving at him.

King Brown smiled and said. "With our joint forces, I feel that we will be able to put pressure on the Black Plain more quickly and perhaps solve the local problem!"

But while some people agreed with him, someone stood up and said something further.

"Your Majesty is quite right! We can put pressure on the Black Plain. However, we must not forget the state of our region that has decided to stand on the side of the war..."

"Sooner or later, we will have to deal with them."

And hearing this, many agreed, feeling bad for the Stones' unexpected betrayal.

However, before things got out of focus, King Brown soon spoke again, urging caution. "Gentlemen, let's not talk about that at the moment."

"House Stone is powerful, but they are an organization we know, which has existed for many years in peace with our states."

"Even if they need to be punished for the treachery of their leaders, they are not the threat to regional peace."

"So, I suggest we talk only about the Black Plain, about the forces of Minos!"

Then, a woman with red and white hair stood up from her position and saw all the people in the surrounding area go silent as if waiting for her speech. "That is indeed the most urgent matter."

"Mrs. Carline!" Thomas revered her once again, observing the beauty of this expert who was as strong or stronger than he was.

That woman then looked at James and then at Thomas and said. "You faced that young man... How do you think we would perform if we ran into him now?"

After the previous event, James had thankfully learned that Thomas had not died because of London's sacrifice.

Next, they dispatched their information to the allies already in the Brown Kingdom, something that was already known to everyone in that meeting.

There were not only these three powerful level 59 Spiritual Kings, but also several royal generals, patriarchs, and supreme elders from royal and noble families in the region. All of them between levels 57 and 58.

And knowing this incredible strength, that middle-aged woman could not help but wonder about it.

She wanted to end this war as quickly as possible, so if these two were sure to succeed, she wanted to try to find Minos before the rest of the troops even arrived.

But otherwise, she would do as previously planned, continuing their strategies to dominate the Black Plain.

"If we faced him today with everyone in this room..." Thomas began to say this, looking at that woman and James. "Half of us would die, and over 40% of the survivors would be seriously injured."

"Ultimately, we cannot guarantee that he would die." So, James completed that man's line.

Gulp!

"What?"

"How can that be?"

"So, he is invincible? That's absurd!"

The various people in that place began to state their opinions simultaneously, shocked, disbelieving at the utterances of those two peak regional experts.

Even King Carline's second wife, Linette Carline, level 59, could not believe such a disgrace. "Are you serious?" She asked in a solemn tone.

"Are you saying that he is as strong as a Spiritual Emperor?"

Thomas then shook his head negatively and said. "No, he's not like that yet."

"But he's not like us either!" James completed. "However, that's enough to challenge us because of the characteristics of the techniques he possesses."

"You see, the problem is not that we can't cause trouble for him, but that if we were to fight him jointly, we would only be helping him!"

"In our previous fight, Thomas and I went to fight him alongside our strongest supporters."

"However, one of them, General Terry, died after a single attack from that brat!"

"And with the spiritual energy he stole from all of us, he almost killed Thomas that day!" James finished his analysis.

"That's right." Thomas nodded, unashamed of what had happened. "At the present moment, only level 59 Spiritual Kings can challenge him without risk of dying with a single blow. But just the three of us won't be enough to kill him."

"At most, we will fight for a few seconds, and then both sides will have to leave the battlefield."

"In the worst-case scenario, he would have the advantage, and one of us might even die!"

"That..." That mighty woman muttered in a low voice, feeling that this was all worse than she had imagined. "And how do you expect to beat him?"

Thomas then replied. "If three, or maybe two, others of our level ally with the three of us, we have a chance of eliminating him without much loss!"

But while the people in that place were silent after hearing such a speech, a strange laugh resounded from an empty spot on one side of that tent.

"Hehehehehehehe, that's truly interesting!"
