The Rise of the Black Plain

After a few minutes of those twelve beasts running around the Endless Snow Mountain Range area, their group finally got close enough to that spot from before.

Upon doing so, the five humans there immediately saw that the spot was a large group of a few hundred individuals camping nearby.

Minos deduced from the Snow family symbol on the various tents around that location that this was the group from the Snow Kingdom, the one supposed to accompany him to the Scourge of the Devil headquarters.

"Let's see if those people are ready!" Minos said aloud to his companions just before jumping with Abby in his arms off the back of the serpent that had carried them there.

After those words were spoken, the other three humans followed King Stuart's movements. At the same time, the leader of the Diamond Monkeys there continued behind them, leaving his tribe members with Minos' mounts.

...

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"The king of the Black Plain is here!"

"Minos Stuart is running here at this very moment!" A soldier rushed into Adam Snow's tent, hurriedly breathing as he said that to King Snow.

Ambrose was the one who had actually been ruling the Snow Kingdom for the past few months. However, Adam was still the one with the official position. As such, he was still treated according to his position.

In any case, upon hearing the words of that subordinate, the old Snow King stood up from where he was, satisfied that Minos had arrived within the interval promised by the Black Plain forces.

With that, he said nothing to that subordinate and just made his way out of his tent, intending to go and receive that tyrant himself.

As he did so, all the high-level Spiritual Kings in that camp, members or vassals of the Snow family, were also warned of such a thing and rushed out of their tents.

Hence, in the blink of an eye, the center of that camp area was fully organized, with people making room for the arrival of Minos' group and others waiting on the sides.

Misty stood there watching everything among those people, wishing she could see King Stuart now in a different situation than before.

Her husband had not come to this place since it was impossible for the king and his heir to go to the same battle. After all, the kingdom had to have an heir in case the worst happened!

So how could they both go to this confrontation?

So, only Adam, who no longer participated in the governmental affairs of this state, was there to participate in revenge for the death of the second prince of this kingdom.

As for Misty, she would not go to the battle, but finding out that Minos would be there, she had not missed the opportunity to come to this place to observe the situation.

'That woman...' But as she waited in that place with a quiet expression on her face, Misty soon saw the group of two men, three women, and a beast approaching from there, with Abby running alongside Minos, her beautiful blue hair swaying in the air.

Knowing that the future queen of the Black Plain was a woman of House Miller, with hair of the coloration typically found in that family, Misty soon realized who that person was.

'Is she his woman?' Her fists unconsciously clenched as she felt it was a shame that such a person was at Minos' side.

Misty was stunning, with her curves and manners that could seduce masses. But compared to Abby, she was lacking. And seeing that beauty standing next to Minos, this woman could not help but regret that he had not come alone this time.

But while she was thinking about those less important things, King Snow was looking at the big Diamond Monkey behind the group of humans, surprised to see one of those beings there.

'It seems this young man's influence has already reached all points in our region...' He sighed, observing that beast over 5 meters tall, with red hair on its back and a naked torso that shone like a diamond.

"His Majesty, the King of the Black Plain!" One of the subordinates of House Snow in the vicinity announced the arrival of Minos soon after he stopped a few meters away from Adam's group.

After that, some resounding sounds arose in the surroundings, silencing anyone still muttering around.

Seeing this, Minos once again realized how quick the Snows were at adapting to new circumstances and felt good about it, even if he did not care about these formalities.

"Your Majesty, congratulations on ascending the throne." Adam was the first one there to speak, once again congratulating that young man.

"You are too kind, Adam," Minos said, not caring to treat that fellow the way he should.

Adam was not offended when hearing that and just looked at the beautiful woman with blue hair and a green dress next to Minos. "Ma'am." He bowed his head and made a gesture of respect.

"Hmmm." Abby nodded as she held one of Minos' arms, feeling a little embarrassed to see that king and several other Spiritual Kings of high rank greeting her.

"Hehehe, it seems that young Minos truly is dominant!" The leader of the Diamond Monkey tribe said this loudly, laughing at his old acquaintance who had to bow his head to his tribe's friend.

The people there were silent, as none would want to look for trouble with that level 58 beast, much less Minos, the tyrant.

However, it did not take long for Maxwell and some people from the Snow family to come face to face, with the latter surprised to see such a person there.

"You..." Adam looked at Maxwell with a deep look on his face, feeling some negative feelings returning to his heart.

Maxwell and the second prince of the Snow Kingdom had an old history... Both had studied at the state's most prestigious spiritual academy and had become great friends.

Later on, the two developed a rather peculiar kind of relationship, something that the people of the Snow family accepted but did not like at all... Eventually, the second prince lost his life in a degrading way, trying to protect Maxwell, something that had made those people's opinion of him even worse.

"Maxwell, how do you have the nerve to come here?" One of the elders in that place asked in a controlled tone, but one clearly charged with anger.

Noticing the reaction that he already expected from those people, Maxwell sighed and said. "After everything that happened, I ended up joining His Grace's organization," He pointed to Minos. "Now I have had the chance to be able to participate in the extermination of the Scourges of the Devil."

"Then I will stand by His Grace's side at that moment and use everything at my disposal to avenge Alexander!"

Upon hearing those words, several people there felt irritated that a degenerate like Maxwell would say such things and still go and participate in this attack. But since he was part of Minos' group, none of them could do anything about it.

"Tsk!"

'That wretch caused the death of the second prince, but still...'

Minos then ignored the chatter in the surroundings and got straight to the point. "Are you guys ready? I don't intend to wait long,"

Adam nodded to that young man and said. "We were just waiting for your arrival."

"Good!"

"How many people will I be able to count on?" He looked at Misty and realized that not everyone there could go to the Scourge of the Devil headquarters.

And as Misty blushed at the look on Minos' face, Adam replied. "We have 90 Spiritual Kings, 10 high-level ones, 35 at the middle part, and the rest from this stage beginning."

"Hmm." Minos looked at the surroundings thoughtfully, not finding it bad how much power they had prepared for these situations. "All right."

"That should be enough for us to deal with the people in that organization if there are no surprises along the way..."

"In any case, I'll give everyone here an hour to get ready. After that, we'll leave for the location of our enemies!"

After that was said, it didn't take long for the people in the surrounding area to disperse. At the same time, Misty used the opportunity to greet Minos before going her own way.
