As they approached the Dry City, the three members of the Silva family immediately saw a wall closer and closer to them. It was very tall and surrounded the entire region of the city.
In fact, they couldn't even see where it started or ended!
The great wall completely hid the interior of the city of Minos, to the point that the trio only saw one of the entrances to that place. There was a big steel gate there, with a cylindrical building, where some soldiers were patrolling at this very moment.
"Huh?" One of them made a surprised sound when he saw this.
The blond man then looked at the oldest in the group and asked in a shocked manner. "Dennis, did the Dry City have a wall like that in the past? I've never been inside this city, so I'm in doubt..."
"This... No, there was definitely no such thing before. And even if there were, it would be something tiny. It would not reach this level!" Dennis said as he had a look of shock on his face.
He had already passed through this city 30 years ago, on one of his trips through this region. 'Did the king order a wall to be built here in this place, during this time that has passed?' He questioned himself doubtfully.
'No, it cannot be. He would not do such a thing in this place.' He then probed the spiritual energy of the region and realized that it was almost as weak as before.
"What has happened here in these 30 years?"
"30 years? Pay attention. This wall seems to be quite new!" The woman who led the group said as the carriage of the three approached more and more from there. "This must be something related to that Minos! He must have done this to protect himself!"
Upon hearing this, the blond man in the group suddenly started laughing. "Hahaha, what an idiot! This guy is really wasting his few crystals in this shitty place!"
"Interesting... I want to see what he wants to hide behind such a high wall!" Sarah said with a small smile on her face.
As the group approached, they could not see the plantations made in the Black Plain, as the terrain of this region hid these areas.
The place where the crops were growing was at a point where the altitude of the terrain compromised visibility.
After all, a plain is never completely flat!
Finally, in addition to being able to be seen from the sky, the fields of cultures were only visible from a long distance, if people were coming from a specific direction, coming from the city.
Otherwise, to see these fields from the ground, someone would have to be very close to them, which was not the case for the three investigators of the Silva family.
And as the group belonging to the Silva family did not come in that direction and were not close enough to that place, they could not see this crucial place...
Meanwhile, at the checkpoint at that entrance, the soldiers who were prowling this place, finally saw a carriage approaching from the west.
And when the soldiers saw the symbol of a silver eagle on the carriage, several of them had already understood who these people were!
"Quickly, activate the sound array and send a warning signal to the mansion and headquarters. Silva family members are coming!" One of the soldiers, who was leading this post, shouted out loud for this to be done urgently.
Minos had already made it clear to his soldiers that the Silva family was an enemy of the Black Plain Army. Because of this, all soldiers in the army already knew this and how to identify the members of this enemy force!
And as for the sound array in question, this was a low-level array, which could emit audible warnings from a distance. It always worked in conjunction with other arrays of the same type, where one side could alert the others.
The Black Plain Army had bought these arrays from the Cohen family store, even before this wall was ready. After all, it would be useless to have a checkpoint if it could not receive reinforcements or warn about specific dangers.
...
Meanwhile, in the central part of the Dry City, suddenly in two buildings not far from each other, an alarm began to ring at high volume.
Woop!
Woop!
The warning sounds rang out when suddenly everyone in Minos' headquarters and mansion stopped what they were doing and raised their heads as they looked from side to side.
Many of them knew what that sign meant.
This could be an imminent danger for the city, so all soldiers available at this time should immediately gather in front of the mansion to take their orders from Minos or whoever was in charge of the city!
While the civilian members of Minos' forces had confused looks on their faces, many of them did not know what could be happening. Quickly a crowd began to form on the freeway avenue to the headquarters of the local government.
At the same time, at Minos' office, he was alone at this moment while making some plans for the city. When he suddenly heard the alarm sounds in the air.
He turned to the side of his office window and looked at the view of the city. 'Is it one of the noble families of the kingdom?' He thought to himself.
In addition to the Silva family, which was already their sworn enemy, the other noble families of the Brown Kingdom also had a warning notice. After all, if any of them found out what was going on here, it would be almost impossible to avoid a confrontation.
And as soon as that happened, it would be a matter of time before this whole region becomes a battlefield!
There were no noble families benevolent or who did not care about power. Some of them could even live peacefully, without interfering in the affairs of others, but that was something that happened only among equals!
The Black Plain could not be considered a force not even average in this region. So, even a 'peaceful' power would see this place with greed!
That was human nature. The strong can have everything. The weak have no right to anything!
'Hmm, I better take certain precautions... Whoever it is, now that you're here, you can give up leaving this city alive!' Minos thought about it with a cold look.
For his own sake, the young Stuart was prepared to exterminate any group that threatened the stability of the Black Plain!
He did not like to kill without good reason. Still, a leader must protect his domain with an iron fist, eliminating any threat. And Minos wasn't naive. There were no such things as 'repent' and 'we're not going to say anything,' any witnesses had to be eliminated, or terrible things could happen!
Zum!
The space around Minos trembled slightly when he was suddenly teleported to the Spatial Kingdom. He wanted to leave the mother fox, Emlyn, in place if the enemy force was much stronger than the army could handle.
Anyway, when she felt someone approaching, Emlyn, who was lying quietly next to the big house, suddenly opened her eyes and saw her daughter playing with Alison while the young Lee was cultivating elsewhere.
The two youths had returned to their training shortly after Minos returned from the Cromwell Kingdom.
Anyway, the butler Dillian was also in this place in addition to these two. He was cultivating as much as he could as he was getting closer and closer to level 50.
Finally, Emlyn saw Minos approaching her when she flapped her six tails quickly and walked towards him. She had found it strange that this young man should come back here, just after finishing his training just a few minutes ago.
And yes, she had already reached the 6th stage of cultivation, something that had happened only two days ago!
With her remarkable potential, Emlyn had managed to reach her current level after eating many medicines given by Minos.
Spiritual beasts could not use spiritual crystals like humans, so they were more dependent on spiritual medicines and energy-rich foods to level up.
Of course, with their greater compatibility with spiritual energy, beasts could be much more efficient at absorbing these resources than humans and not having to deal with many impurities left by these resources since their bodies had much more affinity with these items.
Finally, Minos arrived in front of the butler Dillian, who was sitting in a chair in front of the house, while the big two-meters fox stood over there, waiting to hear the reason for this irregular visit.
"We have an emergency in the city. You two need to come with me now if we can't handle this alone." The young Stuart said worriedly, looking at the two in front of him.
It could be that the unwanted visitors were just weaker people, like the young Darell's group at that time. If so, Minos alone would be enough to stop them.
However, the young Stuart did not want to take any chances. The enemy group could be much stronger than that, and they could end up in a terrible situation. In this case, he would need the butler Dillian to be prepared to heal the wounded suffered by the soldiers, while Emlyn could save the day if this were necessary.
After saying this, he did not wait for the answer of the two in front of him when he just stepped forward and held one of the big fox's paws while having his other hand on Dillian's left shoulder.
Zum!
