The Rise of the Black Plain



"When we go to Elves Island for the Continental Tournament, I hope we know who our enemies are and have proof of their existence so we can present our problem to the world!" Minos said in a louder tone.

He didn't care about the prize of the Continental Tournament. Even if a Divine-grade medicine were to be given as a prize, his purpose would still be to seek allies in the event in question.

His intention in partnering with the Sista family to compete and bet together in this tournament was also for the sake of his goals so that he would have a line of communication with this powerful kingdom.

With these plans, Minos had less than 40 years to investigate the situation in the North Sea and arrive at this event with enough to shock all the world's powers.

If he failed, he would have to deal with the catastrophe predicted by Henricus Longus with only his allies.

One way or another, these were his plans!

After he finished speaking, the people who had traveled with him or who were in Dry City waiting for him began to talk among themselves, thinking about the possibilities ahead of them.

A few decades were very little for high-level cultivators, so several were thinking about the short term they would have to deal with all these plans of Minos.

But considering the alliances they might make in the meantime, many of Minos' older subordinates and vassals were more confident in their plans.

With each passing year, more alternatives came to them. Perhaps several solutions they had not even thought existed would reveal themselves further down the road, and this relieved the pressure on Minos' more experienced companions there.

But the younger ones were naturally worried and could not help but express concern.

Amid these conversations, a soldier approached Minos and announced. "Your Majesty, a group from the Divine Continent is outside the dome asking for passage. They claim to be here on behalf of the elder Julian."

"How quick," Starclaw commented as she stood next to Minos' family, where a beast, also in its humanoid form, was looking at her with a smile.

Little Green, level 80, another mount of Minos, couldn't help but look at this beauty!

But this bird was not interested in mixing its bloodline with a reptile like him and naturally would not pay attention to him.

While Little Green was gazing at Starclaw, Minos ordered his men to allow Julian's envoys to enter.

"It looks like they were waiting for him to arrive," Gloria commented upon hearing Minos' explanation of these what his role would be within this group and how he already expected people from the Divine Continent to come to his state.

Quickly the group of envoys arrived at the imperial palace, joining these people around the throne hall.

"Your Majesty Minos Stuart, we are here under orders from master Julian to assist you in your duties within the Pantheon Of Honor. I hope we can work harmoniously." A level 91 Demigod said while standing in front of a group of two other level 90 Demigods and seven level 89 Sages. 

"Hmm, I expect the same," Minos commented as everyone in the surrounding area watched this group. "How exactly do we get started?"

A level 90 woman stepped forward and said. "I am sorry to interrupt Your Majesty's reunion with your allies and subordinates. But we must urgently begin to establish our connections on this continent.

To get started, we first need guides. We will set up our arrays in the most appropriate places and create a contact network between us and the others on this continent. That will connect us to the temple on the Divine Continent."

"Unfortunately, Your Majesty's trip lasted a little longer than we expected, so we must begin immediately." Another person and level 90 commented.

Minos readily understood that these people should have been waiting for him for quite a while. They should have more efficient travel methods than his, and the time he had to generate results for Pantheon Of Honor was not long. So it was only natural that they were a bit rushed after waiting for him for weeks.

"All right. My state is fully at your disposal to help you. Don't stand on ceremony, just say what you need, and I'll tell you who to talk to." He said to these people.

"We need a map of your state with the locations with the best spiritual conditions for our headquarters. We will create at least about 10 information transmission posts around the region." The level 90 woman said.

The level 91 man then remarked. "In addition, we need Your Majesty to give some of your staff for us to command. The empire must have contacts across the continent, but we intend to create a new observation network using these personnel.

We will reform how you spy on your allies and enemies to increase the flow of information to the temple.

For now, our main goal is to make this spy network operates efficiently and distribute information to our allies."

Minos would have to get involved with other matters allowing these people to pass on to him the methods to fulfill the demands of the temple. But he wouldn't have to worry too much about this, as Julian had told him, for these people would be advising him for years to come, even when he was already a de facto member of the Pantheon Of Honor.

Minos knew letting these people work now would be best for him and promptly ordered. "Ruth, separate a group from the army to be under the command of our friends.

Dillian, create a mechanism for these people to set up their posts and start their operations with the support of the Bank of the Black Plain.

Gloria, you will help them with contacts within the Spiritual Church..."

Minos gave several orders to the top echelon of his state, introducing Julian's group of subordinates to whom they would deal if they needed to solve their problems.

After a time of Minos directing who should do what, the group from the Divine Continent left the palace to wait for the men Ruth would choose for them until the next day.

With that settled, the people in that hall would soon go about their responsibilities, either to help this group of Julian's men or to begin their local integration.

When these Julian's Demigods and Sages left Dry City, it would be time for Minos to bring and bring new people into the Spatial Kingdom.

It was time for new people to enter seclusion!

In this way, a period of peace and growth for the empire would quickly develop over the next few months until new advances would come to strengthen the Stuart family!
