After the five groups of the Silva family had split up as soon as they had entered the territory of the Black Plain, each of those teams had followed their respective destinations.

One group had gone to the northeast of that territory, where the Gill family forces had wiped them out. Another group had reached their destination almost at the same time as the late Margot's team since the southeast region was a similar distance away as the northeast.

But luckily for this group, they had not faced the same outcome as Margot's group and, as such, were still investigating that part of the Black Plain.

On the other hand, the groups responsible for this territory's northwestern and southwestern parts had not yet reached their respective destinations. After all, those parts of the Black Plain were at greater distances from where they came from.

In fact, the travel time from the easternmost border to the westernmost parts of this territory was about twice as long as from one of the borders to the Dry City, a town precisely in the center of this territory.

Consequently, the other two groups had not yet reached their destinations.

Finally, there was the group led by the person responsible for this great mission, the team that was heading towards Dry City.

This group was the strongest of the five, and after almost three days of traveling across the Black Plain without many problems on their way, they had arrived in the vicinity of the city of Minos!

Upon reaching the perimeter of this place, the group led by Oliver, level 54, had immediately split up into several smaller teams to investigate the area around Dry City carefully.

They knew that there was a possibility of danger here. Hence, the leader of this group wanted to increase their chances of success in this mission by investigating this territory from as many points as possible.

And so, little by little, a large number of those people were approaching Dry City from different directions!

...

While the enemy plan was developing outside the Dry City dome, the local forces had already noticed the strangeness around the area surrounding the local wall!

After all, with soldiers guarding the territory near the local dome from this city's Defensive Tower for 24 hours a day, it would be impossible for them not to notice such a thing.

That is, it might be expected for a few groups of people to arrive in Dry City from time to time, sometimes groups of more than 10 or even 20 people. But it was very suspicious that dozens of groups, each of them with more people than those numbers, arrived in the vicinity of this town almost at the same time!

Not only that, the local soldiers were already aware that they could receive unwanted visitors at any time. After all, two noble houses were already aware of part of Dry City's transformation.

Therefore, anything suspicious that was seen from the top of the Defensive Tower would quickly be considered a severe threat to the sovereignty of this place. Consequently, appropriate measures would have to be taken as soon as possible!

Thus, the moment the first bunches of people were seen circling the ground around the dome, the soldiers on watch had immediately activated the alarms. They also sent people to the necessary points in this city!

...

"That again? It seems that your city's problems are increasing in frequency, eh?" Regina asked Minos as she walked alongside this young man's group, which was already heading towards the east exit of the wall.

After the alarms had sounded in the government mansion and the army headquarters, all the soldiers and high-ranking people immediately followed the protocol for situations like this. Next, Minos had given his orders to the many soldiers who would be involved in this situation.

At that point, he had sent out four groups of 150 people each, with Eduard and himself being in two different groups and Celeste and Abby's father joining the other teams.

Minos was resolute about not using Celeste in this situation because she had not yet learned all of the Silver-grade techniques she could. But since none of his other allies were around in his time of need, he had decided to use this woman's power to his advantage.

That's because he didn't want to use Emlyn since she was taking care of the Spatial Kingdom, nor did he want to send Abby's mother to the battlefield. But, on the other hand, none of those other Miller family Spiritual Kings were anywhere near the mansion or the headquarters when the alarms went off.

After all, they were not Minos' subordinates, and as this was only early morning, they were probably in their respective residences sleeping or training in the Cultivation Tower.

So, none of them had shown up at that place in time. But because the Dry City couldn't wait for them, Minos had simply decided to advance his affairs by asking for Celeste and Eliot.

Eliot was at the mansion with his wife as they were both living there at Minos' invitation. As such, he had quickly offered his help after realizing that there was a problem. 

Thus, Minos had managed to send at least one Spiritual King in three of the groups he had subdivided earlier!

However, he had not called Angela. Because, despite her determination to join the army alongside Regina, she had not yet joined that organization, as that would only occur after she signed some Soul Contract with him.

But such a thing would take a few days to happen since the spiritual judge that Minos could get through the Miller family would take at least a week to reach the Yellow City. 

Consequently, Minos would not accept those two into his organization without a Soul Contract and therefore would not use them.

As for Ruth and Abby, the first he simply could not count on in such a situation, and the latter was coming with him in his group.

That was the division he'd made for this out-of-the-ordinary situation. And he'd done it so quickly that each of the teams was already at one of the wall's exits in less than five minutes.

Anyway, after hearing the question of that poison master who had decided to accompany him and his group to the place they were passing at the moment, Minos then answered her. "That's true... But you'd better get used to it. Soon a war that can last a few years will have its start on the outskirts of my city."

"A war?" Regina frowned her eyebrows upon hearing this.

She obviously did not know about Dry City's plans. After all, she had not yet joined the local army. As such, despite knowing how valuable this place was and how it would draw a lot of trouble here, she still couldn't imagine a big war happening...

"Against whom?" She asked after a brief moment.

"Against everyone."

Gulp!

"What?" However, as she exclaimed her doubt and slowed down her speed, that woman heard no response from Minos. 

Regina just watched that young man and the dozens of people in that group pass through the gate to the east exit of the wall while someone stopped her from continuing on her way.

Meanwhile, Angela was standing next to this poison master, with an expression as solemn as Regina's. "I wonder what he means by that?"

"I don't know, but I believe we will soon find out..."

After that, the two climbed the walls on the inside of the dome until they stopped on the upper floor, where some lower levels soldiers were already observing the surroundings.

They could see several groups of people on beasts of many kinds surrounding the dome, almost as if such people were trying to draw as little attention as possible.

...

And quickly, the four groups that had left Dry City earlier met up with the groups of soldiers working on the exits from the wall.

After this, it didn't take long for the strongest individuals of these border soldiers to join those groups, setting off towards the many enemies that were already surrounding the local dome...
