The Rise of the Black Plain

After the end of the military exercise, it wasn't long before the crowds in that area began to disperse.

The low-ranking soldiers watching that event before had gained several experiences with it, and now many of them would absorb this knowledge little by little.

Many of them would still take some time to be able to fight Minos. Still, considering their situations, such a thing would happen sooner or later. In this case, for them to have such knowledge and the will to fight from this moment on, it had great potential to help them.

So, these people were delighted.

On the other hand, as spectators left that place, many other members of the army and the local hospital were already helping the wounded soldiers. There was currently no need for them to recover quickly for the sake of the wall, but it was also not good for them to be inactive in their roles for too long.

Thus, each of them would undergo primary treatment from the local doctors to return to their functions as soon as possible!

Also, every time they had the opportunity to fight Minos, these soldiers felt that it was much easier for them to understand their own mistakes in training and cultivation. Hence, each of these individuals was very eager to get back to their daily exercise to fix these problems.

Many of them had become warriors after Minos' arrival in the Dry City or after coming to this town. Because of this, these people's time as fighters were actually very short compared to those same individuals of similar levels as theirs.

Such soldiers might be stronger than their peers who had inferior techniques, but that would change if conditions were all the same. That is, if one of them had to face an opponent with a similar level and techniques of the same quality, these soldiers would have a difficult time...

They made more mistakes, used above or below ideal amounts of energy, and so on.

Consequently, these people still had to recover many training hours before they reached the same levels of understanding that warriors from noble families would have.

Anyway, Dillian was already at Minos' side at this point, using his Radiant Healing on the young ruler of the Black Plain.

Golden light rays were slowly healing the most superficial wounds on the young Stuart's body. At the same time, more severe problems were resolved gradually. And meanwhile, Minos had quickly changed into a new set of clothes, while Abby and Ruth were there at his side, supporting him.

Both would not miss watching this young man's fight, as they both had deep feelings for him. But, on the other hand, even if they were Minos' partners and that was enough for them to be interested in him, that didn't stop the two from taking advantage of this kind of situation.

Since young Stuart had far superior combat proficiency, they could also learn new ways to fight by watching him in action.

Abby was already two levels below Minos, while Ruth could never have imagined facing as many opponents from the 5th stage as him. After all, this young woman did not have techniques with restrictions as strong as those of this sovereign.

So naturally, both could learn a lot in situations like this!

...

After some time, the Minos group finally returned to the Dry City government mansion, where they were already in the main office at this time.

Dillian had returned to the local hospital to care for the most wounded soldiers and his regular patients. On the other hand, Minos, Abby, and Ruth were sitting on the same sofa at the moment, with the young secretary Mia in a chair beside them, taking notes of her boss' decisions.

At the same time, a middle-aged lady served a portion of snacks for Minos and also spiritual tea.

This young man didn't like using pills to replenish his energy after tiring fights. Instead, he preferred to eat a meal rich in spiritual energy without the unwanted toxins.

As such, when he and his two companions arrived at this place, almost immediately, one of the housekeepers of this young man's residence had already arrived at this place with Minos' snacks.

And so, while eating calmly, Minos was giving Mia his orders.

"Mia, I want you to prepare the groups needed to build an underground base in the Yellow City. I want this to be done below the central mansion of that place and as quickly as possible."

"All right, young master." She said this at the same time as she took notes.

"In addition to Yellow City, I want you to start planning for the same to be done in the City of Waters. But in the case of this city, we can't start right away. So I just want the planning to be done for now."

"For any questions, you can ask the people who are going to deal with it to talk to Sergeant Viola. She has more information about that place than anyone else locally."

"OK."

"Finally, we are going to plan for the expansion of the Black Plain Army's naval base. I've only left that place 'vulnerable' so far so as not to attract the attention of travelers. However, after we take the Maritime City, I want a medium-level grade-2 defensive array to be placed in that location."

"We will also increase the number of soldiers at that base and the level requirements of soldiers at that location." He finished when he sighed and took his cup to his mouth.

"OK."

After that, Minos felt the sweet fragrance of the tea and then enjoyed it calmly, as he closed his eyes and put that cup aside. He then felt the heat of that drink on his body while his arms lightly hugged Ruth and Abby's slender bodies.

"You can go now, Mia. If there's anything else, you can come find me after my cultivation session." He commented to his secretary, still with his eyes closed.

After that, it didn't take long, and that secretary left the office, leaving the trio alone.

...

"Abby, how is the situation in the Maritime City?" Minos asked not long after Mia left.

Abby had gone to resolve this issue of the invasion of the Maritime City a few days ago when the first fort there had been taken. After that, the soldiers had replaced the royal guards at that post, while most of those people were already in the Dry City prison.

As this young girlfriend of Minos was responsible for this action, this sovereign naturally inquired mainly from her.

She then started to say as she felt her lover's hands on her waist. "All those royal guards have already been interrogated. Now, this information is being compiled and assigned to the respective soldiers who are most compatible with replacing these people."

"With that, in a few more days, we will be able to resolve the situation of that fort already under our control." She finished speaking with a confident expression on her beautiful face.

"Oh? That's nice. Once this is done, then you can authorize the next attack for the next few days. Once the replacement soldiers arrive at that first base, it will be the right time for us to take second place."

"All right." She commented in a soft tone.

After that, Minos placed one of his hands next to Ruth's little sister while attacking Abby's helpless neck.

"Mmmmm~"

"Mmmm~"

When they felt this, they both unconsciously moaned, already blushing completely due to Minos' action.

Since Ruth's arrival in this town, Minos had tried several times to do things with the two of them simultaneously. But he had never been entirely successful. The best he'd managed was for them not to be awkward when he kissed them in front of each other.

But both Abby, when Ruth still refused to do anything more in front of each other.

"Mmmm~ Minos, I won't do this..." Abby commented in a low voice in his ear as she tried to protect her neck.

"If you don't want to, that's fine... But why don't you give me a hand? I see how tired I am..." He said this to both of them as he brought both of their hands to his lower parts...
