The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 722 - Counter Revolutionary Army

After King Brown gave his order for the family leaders of his state to come to him in the kingdom's capital, it didn't take long for this to happen.

In just three days, every single representative of 19 of the 20 local noble families had already arrived in this city.

With that, Thomas Brown soon gave his orders for those 19 individuals to gather their troops and march towards the Black Plain!

He had told those people everything that the rebels on the Black Plain had done. From the crimes against the Silva family to the most recent incident, when more than 1,500 royal guards had been exterminated there.

And upon finding out that ten more Spiritual Kings of the royal family had fallen in that place, almost all the patriarchs had been impressed by the information.

They already knew that the current Black Plain was no longer that poor place that they and each of the people in that region had known. But between this territory being a potential rebel threat and a real risk to the union of this state, there was a big difference.

That's why they couldn't assume that the forces in that place were so powerful!

Anyway, after having been incredibly shocked by this, each of those noble representatives had promised to send their troops to the Black Plain.

Since this place threatened the kingdom's peace, these families would do everything to eliminate the danger that Minos represented.

With this, King Brown had managed to form his Counter-Revolutionary Army, which was now marching towards the Black Plain!

Such a group was initially composed of 50,000 guards from the 19 noble families and the royal house of the Brown Kingdom itself. But these numbers would increase as the war unfolded.

The combined numbers of these families were far greater than that of this Counter-Revolutionary Army. However, these powers could not simply send all their experts to the Black Plain!

There were still other organizations in the northern region of the Central Continent that they had to protect themselves against. In fact, organizations like the Scourges of the Devil were a danger, and also other royal houses and noble families.

After all, just because the regional states hadn't faced each other in quite some time didn't mean that this wouldn't happen if strange things happened.

They even committed not to invade each other during periods of fighting against revolutionaries since it was in everyone's interest that no revolutionaries succeed. But until the statute was used, it was every man for himself, and if anyone went soft, he could only blame himself if he lost everything to others!

Therefore, these families and the royal house of the Brown Kingdom needed to keep a good portion of their forces in their territories.

But they would send more forces to the Black Plain in a second moment when they finally had an accurate idea of the power of the organization behind that place.

They already knew that Minos' army was strong enough to kill high-level Spiritual Kings. Still, they had no idea of the full potential of young Stuart's group in a war with numbers above tens of thousands.

But these troops were not weak. Of the 50,000 individuals, only 10,000 of them were Spiritual Warriors, those who would do primary duty to support the top fighters.

And with that, almost 40,000 of those individuals were Spiritual Generals, people from all parts of that stage.

Finally, 54 Spiritual Kings were accompanying this group, the leader being none other than the supreme elder of the Brown family, London Brown, level 58!

Since a level 57 subordinate had died at that location, King Brown had decided to send his uncle, the second strongest person in his family, to deal with the Black Plain.

The enemy side could be someone with a similar proficiency to that level 57 cultivator who had died in Dry City. On the other hand, he could be weaker but with good tricks up his sleeve. Or it could be someone stronger, with better techniques.

As such, sending London seemed like the right thing to do here to get this successfully resolved.

On the other hand, while these many people were slowly moving to the Black Plain, many structures and things needed for war were being transported to that place.

That group intended to take over the territory of Minos little by little, starting from each of the borders of that place. But sooner or later, they would have the whole area in their hands, and it would be time to attack Dry City head-on!

For this, they would need powerful weapons. After all, there were no other cultivators of level 59 who could help King Brown to destroy the defenses that Minos had built in his city.

Because of all this, even though the process of forming this Counter-Revolutionary Army was fast, it could take several weeks before big battles finally began to take place.

They first had to establish themselves in that territory before such a thing could happen. That is, they were only humans who would need to rest.

And so, this group of 50,000 people would subdivide, heading in four directions in that territory, where the largest teams would be based.

One group was going to a small village in the western part of the Black Plain. Another to Maritime City and last teams would build large posts not far from the Yellow City and the City of Waters.

They obviously wouldn't enter the adjacent kingdoms since that could create a lot of trouble. But those were the best points to start dominating this area.

And, of course, there would be some smaller camps scattered throughout the territory of Minos, those that would be responsible for quick, smaller-scale attacks.

At last, the Counter-Revolutionary Army was formed, and it was time for war!

...

While tens of thousands of people were preparing for future confrontations on the Black Plain, a group of three people passed through a specific part of the Endless Snow Mountain Range.

The three people were flying on the back of a giant winged serpent with colored scales and a pair of wings next to its large head.

Of the three, there were two men and one woman, each dressed in good quality clothes but not flashy.

These were Lee, Alison, and Peter, who had left Dry City three months ago, heading towards the Snow Kingdom, where they had business to attend to.

After this time traveling, they had passed more than half of their journey to their initial destination, the Meyer family town. There, they intended to do some business and seek information.

But even though they had traveled more than half the distance from Dry City to that place, they had barely left the Kingdom of the Waves!

Only today had they finally entered the part of the Endless Snow Mountain Range that divided this state with the Snow Kingdom. Hence, it would still take a whole month and a few more days before they reached their first destination in this state.

Anyway, after this period, Lee and Alison had reached level 44. That young man did so a few weeks ago and this young woman only two days ago.

As for Peter, the strongest one there was at level 47. But being far from the Spatial Kingdom, the foods rich in energy that were the standard in Dry City, he was far from achieving a breakthrough, even considering his struggles in that period.

This group had avoided many dangerous regions of their route during their journey. After all, that Feathered Serpent could fly, something that made their lives much easier.

But now and then, these individuals passed through human cities or weaker regions, where beings invariably appeared to challenge them.

So, they had fought several times during these months, and it had been an excellent experience for everyone there, especially Lee and Alison, who had killed for the first time.

That was a challenging experience for anyone, even in the Spiritual World. But because of the culture of this place, getting through it was not a big problem as the people in this world took death in battle for granted.

Hence, these two had already gotten used to the displeasure of death and were now focused on getting stronger so as not to make some of the mistakes they had already made.

They were at this moment leaving the territory of the Diamond Monkey tribe on the back of that winged beast, while two of them had purple marks all over their bodies.

"In the future, we will take revenge!" Alison said in a regretful tone.
