As he spoke those words, Minos looked at Eduard, who was near the peak of level 63, and said. "I want groups of Elite Squad Spiritual Emperors to be dispatched to our border under threat."

"You will fight opponents who try to vandalize the Spiritual Church in our territory or attack the interests of the Empire. But if you cannot defeat the opponents, break this." He threw a teleportation array connected to one of his, which could take him to the one calling help if he chose.

Eduard took that and promised to do his best before saying goodbye and heading toward the people he would command.

On the other hand, Minos looked at some of the members of the Spiritual Church in this region who were there to visit him and Gloria and said. "Double your defenses from now on. We're going to counterattack, so it wouldn't be strange if the enemy increased the power or scope of their actions."

The Spiritual Emperors who had emerged among Gloria's subordinates in that region there in that throne hall nodded in agreement, all nervous about the future.

The enemy they were facing was not simple. That is, this terrorist group had been acting against the Spiritual Church for years, and yet no one had stopped them.

What was the significance of this?

That the terrorist group had people almost as strong as those in the Spiritual Church, and that was why this organization in the Evergreen Empire was not reacting by sending its experts to resolve the situation.

It was only worth sending experts to deal with situations like this when one side was stronger than the other, and the stronger side's losses could be stopped by their extreme act.

But in a situation where sending an expert would guarantee that the other side would also send one, it was not worth sending important people for such a small problem.

Doing so carried the risk of a high-level war, which made no sense to start over with something so insignificant.

Therefore, unless the Church neglected the current situation, which was quite impossible, then only the case in question could explain the current situation of these people. Because of this, those newly promoted Archbishops could not help but feel nervous, sure they would have to fight a war on their own.

Gloria then said. "Don't worry. If the enemy acts against us, I will act myself to stop them."

Hearing this level 70 woman, those individuals felt a little less bad while also receiving the teleportation item from this wife of Minos.

Abby, level 65, and Ruth, 66, followed the situation in silence, but both were preparing to fight.

They were unlike Minos or Gloria, who were much stronger than they were. But both could fight against ordinary cultivators up to the peak of the 7th stage.

As long as their opponent was not a Spiritual Saint or a high-level Spiritual Emperor with Golden-grade techniques, they were confident against those up to 4 levels above their own.

Thus, even though Minos and Gloria were far above them, they were not weak and would undoubtedly help the Black Plain Empire overcome another adversity.

"In the meantime, what will we do, Your Imperial Majesty? Will we send more forces to the borders?" Grace, the wife of Vivian Hayes, peak level 61, asked Minos, already thinking of actions on the part of the Black Plain Army and noble families.

Minos thought for a moment and ordered. "I want to send 10% of our troops above level 50 to the borders with Albano and Rosser."

Minos' army had thrived since the beginning of the process of forming the empire. Because of this, currently, the Black Plain Army has about 8 million soldiers, of which more than 250,000 are above level 50.

But Minos' forces were not only about his army. No, as an imperial sovereign, he was the leader of every organization over his territory and could demand troops in times of need.historical

So the number of individuals above level 50 at his disposal was over 400,000 humans, even not considering Vogel or cultivators not specialized in battle.

So his order would immediately send over 40,000 additional troops to the empire's borders, where there were also already Rosser and Albano's troops working.

Minos then looked at a representative of the Assembly of Vogel, who was living in the Dry City, to make communication between Emperor Stuart and that organization easier.

"I'll let your people handle the borders in the Vogel area, OK?"

"I will pass on your orders, Your Imperial Majesty." Such an individual, level 72, said.

Minos then looked at Emlyn, who was lying in the open area of the imperial throne hall, this place that had been expanded in the last year to receive even spiritual beasts her size.

He then said to this peak level 65 beast. "Emlyn, lead the beasts of the Black Plain that are above level 60 to roam the vicinity of our borders. I want you to kill anyone who disrespects the local borders."

The Black Plain had migration agreements with Rosser and Albano and trade agreements that established where routes to this state should be taken. So anyone traveling outside the official route was necessarily a potential enemy.

In these challenging times, it would not be Minos to have mercy on miscreants!

To him, if anyone tried to enter his state by alternative routes, it could only mean that such a person was either an enemy of his or a big idiot. In the second case, such a person would have to be sacrificed to prevent an enemy from entering his home!

Hence, he did not even want these beasts to check out possible enemies. Upon spotting someone in sensitive areas, these beasts should kill without a second thought!

"All right." Kyla's mother said in a low voice, feeling like stretching her bones in battle once again.

She had not fought a mortal battle in many years now. So having the opportunity to lead the dozens of 7th stage spiritual beasts would be an honor and fun for this Nine-tailed Fox.

Abby and Ruth's beasts, White and Ebba, celebrated upon hearing that, feeling they could finally fight after having advanced to the 7th stage in the previous months.

Kyla, level 61, was also eager and soon set off alongside her mother and those other two to one of the empire's artificial forests, where the largest beast headquarters in that region was.

Minos had dominated practically all the beasts of the northern region of the Central Continent and brought the most talented and powerful ones to the Black Plain.

Because of this, the number of these beings was currently not that different from the number of soldiers he had in his army, which was an essential addition of strength for this operation!

With this, his first orders for this problem had been given, and soon battles would once again appear on the main pages of the regional periodicals!
