The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 510 - 50 Vs 100



After giving his message to Mia, Minos headed towards the front of his mansion, where several soldiers were already gathered.

As predicted in the Black Plain Army soldiers' manual, if something happened and the headquarters alarm sounded, soldiers were to report hurriedly in front of the local government mansion.

As such, hundreds of soldiers were already gathered in that place by the time Minos set foot outside the entrance garden of that property.

At the same time, Ruth and Abby were also there, as they were both at headquarters when the alarm bells had sounded.

Ruth was training in the cultivation room for army 6th stage cultivators. At the same time, Abby took care of her administrative matters in this organization. And when they realized that something was wrong, both had accompanied the rest of the soldiers to this place.

When they reached Minos' side, Ruth, the only one who didn't understand the army's codes, asked in a low voice. "What is the reason for this commotion?"

"I'm not sure, but it looks like there's an enemy group coming towards the city..." Minos commented to his friend while waiting for the arrival of one of the soldiers from the city's defensive tower.

Since the defensive tower had generated the signal, there was no way for the staff at headquarters or the mansion to know precisely where the attack was coming from. That is because such a thing had not been activated by one of the posts on the wall.

On the other hand, with the existence of the defensive tower, the Dry City forces could more or less know the numbers of the enemy group and thus plan the defenses more efficiently.

Obviously, this information wouldn't be perfect, as there was no way those soldiers in the defensive tower could find out the levels of people who were kilometers away from them. However, the information concerning the numbers would be helpful.

After all, considering the average strength of this region, it would not be impossible to imagine the opposing power. For example, if the enemy group had more than a thousand people, well, in this case, the chances are that those individuals were not Spiritual Kings.

That is because rarely so many Spiritual Kings would meet and act simultaneously. So, in a hypothetical situation like this, knowing the enemy numbers could more or less indicate their force!

And it wasn't long before a soldier appeared running towards the front of Minos' mansion.

"Get out of the way!"

"Let me talk to the young master!" He said out loud as he walked through those soldiers.

...

Meanwhile, ordinary citizens passing through that region of the Dry City were already looking at that crowd of soldiers, curious to know the reason for all this.

"What is happening? Will there be another military exercise?" An elderly woman asked her granddaughter in confusion.

"No, Grandma. That just happened, so it must be something else..."

At the same time, a group of mercenaries from the local guild was watching all this commotion with great interest. "Is it an enemy?" One of them asked aloud.

"Perhaps. How about this, let's follow the soldiers, and we can watch this problem..."

And it wasn't long before many people who were passing through that central region of the city began to gather around that crowd of soldiers.

Many were curious to know what was going on, while others apprehensively prepared for the bad news...

...

"Young master, an estimated group of a hundred people is approaching from the east side of the wall. We've already sent someone to run towards that location, and the alarm at that station has also been activated!" A soldier said this to Minos as he took an official position in front of this young sovereign.

Hearing this, Minos continued with the same expression as before and then said calmly. "So that's it… Well, most of you can go back to your activities. Only those with cultivation above level 44 should accompany me."

After this was said, the small crowd of soldiers quickly began to disperse, with most of them heading towards army headquarters. But, on the other hand, 20 people had stayed in that place, waiting for orders from Minos.

And just then, Mendy and Viola appeared at the beginning of that avenue that passed in front of Minos' mansion.

Seeing this, Minos promptly gestured to the two women and told the rest of the soldiers there. "Come on, time to meet these guests."

...

After running for about 5 minutes, Minos' group was finally arriving at the east exit of the local wall. As they did so, Viola and Mendy had accompanied the rest of those soldiers.

At this moment, they are side by side with Minos and the two young women who also accompanied him. Then, Mendy looked at this young man and asked. "Why did you ask me to come with you?"

"You're getting to know the Dry City to understand exactly how important it will be for your family to make a deal with me, right? So, I know you've already discovered the basics of this place, those things that any citizen would know."

"But you still haven't seen the strength of my army..." He said with a smile on his face as he looked steadily at that young woman.

"Oh? So, you're going to show off your collective strength, huh?" She said.

"Hehehe. Yes, but in a different way than you think, Mendy."

While they talked about it, Minos' group finally arrived at the eastern post, where many soldiers were already gathered there, waiting for the sovereign's arrival.

"Who is in charge here?" Minos asked aloud as he looked from side to side, trying to identify the faces of those soldiers.

And then he heard a hoarse voice coming from there. "It's me, young master. Sergeant Alan."

"Oh! So it's Mr. Alan…" Minos commented in a low voice, remembering the identity of this person.

Sergeant Alan was one of 10 bodyguards who had accompanied young Stuart to the Dry City, who had come with him from the capital of the Brown Kingdom. This person had been one of the first soldiers in the army and, as such, had enjoyed the benefits longer.

As a result, he had reached level 45 in the meantime and even gained a leadership position in this organization.

"Young master, after receiving the alarm, we close this passage of the wall and keep an eye on what is happening in the surroundings. But for now, the enemy group seems to have slowed down or stopped." Alan said.

Ideally, it would be nice if they could send soldiers to check out enemy forces. But that would be pretty dangerous. After all, the spiritual probe of higher-level individuals would be better...

And in a situation like this, if the other side had a Spiritual King doing probes, then Minos' soldiers could be caught as hostages very quickly!

As for them acting independently without the help sent by headquarters, well, that would only happen in the last option. Since the alarm sounded, then they would do the obvious and protect themselves in the dome until something was decided.

"Good! Since that's how it is, I want the 30 strongest of you who have already fought together to join me. The rest will be in the dome." He said with a smile on his face.

"Mendy, I want you to come with me, but stay far enough away that the enemy side doesn't notice you. Let me show you how 50 of my soldiers will defeat 100 of the enemies." He commented to that young woman.

"All right."

"As for the rest of you." Minos looked at the other three women there and said. "Stay in the dome. I don't want to scare our guests with too disproportionate force, hehehe."

With the dome, the enemy side couldn't sense the people's forces inside this protected location. So with that, Minos was trying to prevent the escape of those people.

As for Mendy's case, he just wanted this young woman to accompany him so that she could feel the level of adversary power and the Black Plains soldiers.

After all, it would be useless to try to impress this young woman with just one scene without her being able to feel the terror generated by the techniques activated by both parties!

"OK." The three responded simultaneously.

After that, it didn't take long for Minos' group to depart from there towards the enemy group.
