Chapter 575: Let's See What's in this Dry City
'Damn, if this is related to that Spiritual King who died in my establishment, then it can be terrible for me..' That man from before thought this briefly while feeling a chill on his back.The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
He then turned around and started running towards his establishment in the middle of that village.
"Hey, what are you doing? Don't you want to see this parade?" A person in the crowd asked loudly to that man.
"See that? I'm leaving the village!" That person shouted back, without even looking back. 'I'm going to pack my things and take my family as far away from the Black Plain as possible.' He thought, sweating in awe.
...
As the people of that village watched intently as the large group of Silva family guards entered the Black Plain, the many carriages and beasts of that group were slowly slowing down.
A beep had just sounded across the area from one of the principal carriages of this group, something that indicated that it was time for them to stop and do some planning.
Hence, quickly all those people, beasts, and carriages stopped. At the same time, a group of five Spiritual Kings began to gather around the same place.
"Oliver, we have just entered the Black Plain. It is time to split up to investigate this territory." A woman dressed in green female armor said aloud as she looked in the direction of a red-haired man dressed all in black.
She had sounded the signal earlier, which was planned to happen as soon as the group entered enemy territory.
Since they wanted to find out as quickly as possible what was happening on the Black Plain, this large group was going to split into five teams, each of them with about one Spiritual King and a thousand Spiritual Generals!
That was quite a large number of guards, but this was what would make this people's task much easier to complete. Not only would they be more difficult to eliminate, but they would also be more efficient in reporting their findings to the Silva family.
After all, even if the enemies were powerful, would they be able to eliminate all those more than 5,000 guards? Surely there would be chances for some of these people to escape even if the worst happens.
With this, the Silva family could have a more accurate description than the one made by Urban previously!
However, although they had several advantages here, these individuals did not want to fight the enemies that might exist in this territory. Instead, they would try their best just to investigate this place without getting involved in battles and then send their reports to the family headquarters, where the elders could decide on future actions!
...
At the same time, not far from the most northeastern point of that region ruled by Minos, another group was making its way toward Dry City.
This group had about 2 thousand people. Each of those cultivators traveling in beasts and carriages that carried symbols of the Gill family...
After more than a month since the 'triumph' over the Dry City, House Gill had finally dispatched the second group to that city so that this organization could ensure the safety of the Black Plain!
They had 'conquered' this valuable territory, and now they couldn't risk losing it because they didn't have sufficient forces to guarantee its sovereignty. So, as a result, House Gill dispatched this large group when enough time had passed since the last action so that the family competitors did not find such a thing suspicious.
Anyway, in such a team were about two thousand Spiritual Generals, people between levels 42 and 49, who would rule, protect, and deal with the problems of the Dry City...
In addition to these more ordinary individuals, three Spiritual Kings of levels 51, 52, and 53 were in this group, leading this critical mission!
Anyway, amid the series of carriages and many beasts, the three Spiritual Kings were traveling together. At the same time, they chatted with smiles on their faces, eager to get to know Dry City.
"Haha, I can't wait until we get to that city... I heard that there, we will be able to eat food rich in spiritual energy at will!" A level 51 subordinate of the Gill family said this to his level 52 companion.
"Hehe, Bond, you are very simple." A bald man said this as he saw the smile on his fellow traveler's face. "But it is indeed a good thing for us. And it will be even better since we brought some grade-2 cooks!"
"Yes, imagine eating dishes made by grade-2 cooks, with ingredients being high-energy foods? That will be amazing."
Gulp!
"Don't you think so, lady Beatrice?" Finally, the weakest man in the group politely asked the group leader, a noblewoman from the Gill family.
"Hmm, even I cannot enjoy having such luxury often." She agreed with those two subordinates as she looked out over the dead plains through her carriage window. "But I wonder how this place has changed so much... Does that young Minos know something? Or maybe he just had the luck to come here at the right time?" She said in a low voice.
"I don't think a poor guy who hid for so many days not to get caught knows anything, hehehe." One of those two men said, laughing at 'Minos' misfortune.'
However, his traveling companion disagreed with that. "I disagree. To me, the cowards are the ones who often have the most knowledge..."
"Hmm, indeed, maybe he knows something." Beatrice agreed with that level 52 man. "Anyway, let's see what will happen when we get to Dry City." She said, just before the large group of the Gill family finally entered the northeastern part of the Black Plain...
