"And if they found out about it, it won't be long before the Brown family finds out about it too!" Joey said as he felt that finally royal troops would be sent to Dry City.
Upon hearing this, Minos immediately understood why this man seemed so worried. 'This is a big problem...' He thought to himself as he frowned and pondered over the matter.
"That was unexpected..."
"I didn't think the Silva family would attack that place so quickly." The young sovereign said, looking at that old man in front of him. "I thought they were going to do something like that in the future, but I hadn't imagined that they were so much in a hurry..."
"Perhaps they want to advance their actions while the royal family has not yet acted against us?"
"Probably, young master."
"Well, there's nothing to do... That place was out of our control, so as long as they wanted to do something like that, it would happen sooner or later."
"Now, we can only deal with the consequences!"
Minos didn't have enough people even for the Black Plain, so there was no way he could have done anything to stop the Silva family's actions in a place so far from Dry City.
As a consequence of what happened in that town formerly ruled by the Gill family, now one of Minos' enemies already knew that that family had migrated elsewhere.
And considering the possibilities for the disappearance of the House Gill members, it would not take the mind of a genius to conclude that they had come to Dry City!
That was the ideal place for that noble family since their previous action of attacking the members of the Silva family coincided with the attitudes of a Dry City ally.
On the other hand, with medium-level grade-2 defensive arrays in Dry City, this place had the minimum space and defenses to receive that family.
So, thinking that such a noble house had come to Dry City was one of the most plausible possibilities. That was something that the enemies of the forces behind this town would not take long to realize.
"Well, the Silva family probably already see the Gill and us as organizations in alliance to destroy them. So, the Brown family shouldn't take long to question us about that..."
"Yes, they are already starting to ask questions regarding complicated issues every day. So, I don't think they will miss the opportunity to put this issue on the table to pressure us." Joey agreed with Minos, considering the weeks of negotiations he had already had with those envoys from the royal family.
"Well, here's what you do about it, mister Joey..." And then the young sovereign of the Black Plains began to make his recommendations as to what should be done when those envoys started to inquire about the Gill family.
...
After talking with that Black Plain Army administrative Sergeant, Minos finished the matters concerning the Silva and Brown families.
Constantly new information about the actions of the Silva family came to Dry City, something that was being done by the Miller family, who had always had an eye on that organization.
And since the Silvas had constantly been acting in the past weeks, Minos always had to settle matters like today's regarding this organization.
On the other hand, as time went by, the negotiations with the envoys from the royal family of the Brown Kingdom were getting more and more complex, sometimes even leading to some confusion. Hence, Minos was already preparing for when his soldiers would bring him bad news regarding these negotiations.
But for now, he continued to manage the situation as best he could, always giving new orders to soldiers like Joey.
"... Lastly, young master, we have received news from the Cromwell Kingdom." After he finished talking about those matters, Joey sighed and commented on the last issue he had to deal with Minos on this occasion.
"Oh?" Upon hearing that, Minos immediately expressed surprise and then asked his question. "What were the results of the Hayes family's attack?"
"Adding up the attacks against the headquarters and the forces on the outskirts of the Chambers family's territory, about 31,000 members of that organization died, including 16 Spiritual Kings!"
"Those numbers represent about 82% of the total numbers of that organization. But considering only the specialists in that family who died in the last week, only about 24% of their specialists are left. Just seven individuals!" Joey finished reporting this, smiling for giving young Stuart some good news.
"Only seven, huh?" Minos laughed, at the same time remembering those six individuals who had fallen by his hands. 'The Chambers family had 29 Spiritual Kings just over a week ago, a very significant number for the region...'
'And considering the experts who have fallen during those more than three years of war, their numbers were awe-inspiring!'
'The Gill family is a mid-sized power just like they were, but this Brown Kingdom organization only had 18 Spiritual Kings...'
"Looks like we've stopped the Chambers family from becoming a major noble family of our region, haha. If we had taken a few more centuries, they could even become rebels..."
"Yes, the power they had was among the best of the regional mid-sized families, young master. And considering the profile of the people in that family, they would probably do something bold in the future."
"King Cromwell would probably be happy with that news if it weren't for the Snow family's 'involvement'..." Joey casually commented as he looked at the young sovereign in front of him.
After that, Minos soon left those thoughts about what could happen if that family hadn't stood against him and returned to the main subject. "Anyway, of those seven experts who survived, what are their strengths? Is there anything problem?"
"Yes, young master. Four of them are at the initial levels of the 6th stage. But they are only subordinates. The troublesome ones are these other three..."
"One of them is Patriarch Chambers, who had recently reached level 57. Other than that, the other two are level 54 and level 55 elders."
"That's truly a problem. These people can somehow get help through that family's old agreements..."
"How does the Hayes family intend to act against them?"
Upon hearing his boss's question, Joey promptly told what he knew. "The Hayes family has notified us that they already have investigation teams chasing the tracks of some of these people, but..."
"But?"
"But they have no idea where the Chambers patriarch may have fled to!"
"What?" Minos said in surprise. 'Did that family have some teleportation artifact? Maybe that way that man escaped...'
'Damn! If it truly is that, it will be impossible to find this person in a short time!'
He then thought of something and said. "Most likely, he will seek help from the Scourges of the Devil..."
"Probably."
"The problem is that we don't know where that organization is, and even if we did, we have no idea how strong they are..." Minos commented in a low voice, feeling that the elimination of the Chambers family might take much longer than he had thought it would.
He wasn't worried about the less talented and weaker subordinates who had survived the last few attacks against that organization.
Even if those people survived, it would be impossible for House Chambers to resurface in the future.
What could create this possibility was one of these experts or nobles who managed to escape!
So, Minos was more concerned about those people, especially the Chambers patriarch.
They could try to rebuild that family elsewhere or even join some enemy organization of the Black Plain. Naturally, therefore, this young man was concerned that at least one of these troublesome individuals had left no trace of his whereabouts!
"I just hope that some person at that Chambers base left behind something that will help us get to the Scourges of the Devil..." Minos remarked, right after sighing heavily.
He wanted to know the location of such an organization because of his own retribution. But knowing this would also help him nip this problem in the bud if anyone troublesome goes to the headquarters of such an organization.
So, Minos hoped that information about such an organization had been left behind by some of those people who fell in Persephone!
