The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 1024 Regional Repercussion 3

While his wives were enjoying themselves in his absence, King Carline finally arrived at his place of work.

This man had not been present on warm mornings with his wives for some time and had already reached the point where he rarely had intimate moments with them.

In fact, by this point, his relationship with these two women, and especially their feelings, had become almost entirely platonic. Precisely because of this, it was not unusual for those two to enjoy themselves in his absence, and he did not mind either.

But this had never been a problem in the recent past since his leading ladies were also losing interest in the whole thing.

However, Jade was burning with desire lately, and almost like an infectious disease, Linette was getting the same symptoms as that woman.

Because of this, every day after he left his room, the almost uncontrollable fire of those two would raise the temperature in that place, while the sound arrays worked to maintain order in that residence...

Anyway, while Jade was showing Linette things that maybe she should not, their husband met with his secretary and some high-level government agents.

"All of you, sit down." He said as he came across those people getting up from their seats around his office, as he walked over to his armchair.

As he sat there, facing the various people in his workplace, King Carline relaxed in his armchair and said. "How is the organization of the kingdom? Are we going to be able to follow the migration protocols without any problems?"

One of the women there then stood up and began to answer such a thing. "Your Majesty, we already have troops positioned around the most extreme points south of our borders and at the local ports to prevent migrants from traveling without order."

After the recent news, many small families were already moving to the Black Plain, staking their futures on that place. That was happening even in the farthest state from Minos' territory, where the people of House Carline were already worrying about the problems that might arise from this.

They were not worried about the possibility of losing much of their population to the Black Plain but of being punished by Minos for not doing their migration control work.

"On the other hand, we have already published several communiqués in the kingdom's main cities. Much of the population already knows that the Black Plain will not accept any migrants going there."

Another person there then stood up and spoke. "Also, Your Majesty, the administration for migration matters recently opened its doors to our population. We already have tens of thousands of people in line to migrate to the Black Plain."

"Many don't want to risk going to that place alone or with uncertainty about their acceptance. So, they easily joined the migration program created between the regional powers."

An old man closer to the king remained seated and then said to this fellow. "But not everyone is following our recommendations."

"I recently heard reports that there are people who think that we are trying to prevent them from leaving the kingdom for questionable reasons..."

"Because of that, there is already a resistance trying to leave our kingdom at all costs."

Upon hearing that information, King Carline understood what was going on. However, he was not surprised by the reactions of his citizens. "Let's ask the regional periodicals to publish the migration orders issued by the Black Plain. Then, maybe these individuals will realize that we are not trying to keep them here."

"In the meantime, give the orders that anyone caught trying to leave our state illegally will be detained indefinitely."

"But we will not use lethal force."

"Yes, Your Majesty." That individual who was part of this family's intelligence network said this serenely.

...

While the Kingdom of the End and other states in the mainland part of the northern region of the Central Continent were facing similar problems, things were developing much more smoothly on Stone Island.

There, instead of parts of the population distrusting the royalty trying to prevent them from going to the Black Plain, those interested in migrating had readily accepted the migration program of House Stone.

But that was not surprising. After all, unlike the other states in the region that had faced Minos in the war of independence, Stone Island had been the Black Plain's great ally in this period!

And with that population knowing this and House Nash coming out to confirm Minos' intentions, individuals intending to leave for the Black Plain had postponed their plans and began signing up for the local migration program.

Just as in the Kingdom of the End and the other regional states, Stone Island would be lining up a call for migration and organizing these people's transportation to Naval City-1.

Such a place did not yet have a port built to receive people by sea. But considering the time it would take for the first group of migrants to reach there, there was more than enough time for the Minos government to do what was necessary in that place.

With this, the local forces worked side by side to organize the impending migration, increasing border surveillance and preparing the boats needed for such an event.

And just at this moment, the younger brother of the king and Lorelei was in the royal palace of this state, talking to local leaders about it.

"Your Highness, we already have over 300,000 registrants in just three days since registration for the Black Plain migration started." One of the patriarchs of local families said this, talking about a service that had become the responsibility of his house.

Hearing that, those people in the vicinity of the Stone family's royal hall, where several armchairs were arranged around a circle, lost their positive expressions, beginning to worry.

They were allies of Minos, almost everything was going well for them recently, and their fate seemed unstoppable among their regional peers. However, there were not only good things in all this. After all, they still needed their populations!

But in that place, Elen's father, representing the Nash family, had already found a solution to this problem. "Your Highness, this problem will exist for some time, but we should not get worked up about it."

"The Black Plain has its limits, and naturally, that place will not absorb the entire regional population..."

"On the other hand, the point will come when only those with the greatest talent, resources, and contacts, will be able to enter the Black Plain. So, we shouldn't worry about losing our entire population."

"The migrations will probably stop when 10 to 30 million people have left our state."

"What?" Several people there said at once, feeling that even those numbers were heavy for them.

Stone Island had about 200 million people, but losing that many people was not something to ignore!

Gavin Stone then looked doubtfully at Richard Nash, curious as to why that man did not seem so bothered. "Richard, what do you have in mind?"The source of this content is Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

That level 58 Spiritual King, who did not have one of his arms, replied. "There is a way to decrease the loss of inhabitants from our state to the Black Plain, but it is a drastic one."

Gulp!

"Drastic?" Some elders there repeated this in awe of what that fellow was about to say.

Richard was the father of one of Minos' greatest allies. How could he talk about drastic things when the subject was the Black Plain?

But those people soon understood that man's point. "We naturally have to throw our old ways in the trash and learn from the Black Plain."

He slowly looked at the faces in that place, saying something of utmost importance. "Even if we are allies of Minos, we need to understand that we are no longer the same as before the war. Now, we can no longer behave as we did when we were regional leaders."

"To do that, we need to accept that the kind of power we had before is no longer sustainable."

"That way, if we start investing more in our subordinates, for example, by giving them Black-grade techniques, the local attraction will increase greatly. With that, many will think more before leaving their homes for a strange place as they will have good opportunities around their own homes!"
