Meanwhile, in the territory of the fourth strongest organization of the Brown Kingdom...
In a hall covered with marble and gold, several luxurious armchairs were distributed around a large central table, where several of the most important members of this family were at the moment.
From the easternmost part of the Brown Kingdom, House Sutton, with its 29 Spiritual Kings and more than 35,000 Spiritual Generals, was almost a high-level regional organization.
Today it could almost be considered more powerful than House Silva since those mortal enemies of Minos had only 27 Spiritual Kings at the moment. But quantity and quality were always going to be different, and even in the present situation, the Silvas would still be more substantial than that other organization.
But in any case, it was undeniable that this family's power was not small.
And upon receiving King Brown's notification about the conflict on the Black Plain, the high-ranking members of this organization had soon gathered in this hall.
"Patriarch, what may be in the Black Plain for both His Majesty and the sovereign of those lands to want to fight over that place?" One of the elders there asked while the others were silent, respecting that person's turn to speak.
The patriarch of that family shook his head from side to side in denial and then answered that question. "Even I don't know about this..."
"But in any case, if His Majesty wants to fight against a previously insignificant place, I don't think that's for nothing."
"His Majesty definitely wouldn't need to humiliate himself by going to that territory!"
"Yes, it would not be wise to do that without a great gain..."
"Family honor should always be preserved!" So, the supreme elder of such a noble house said while sitting at the patriarch's right side.
The patriarch then continued. "On that account, we must assume that there is a lot at stake in that place, so we should take the opportunity to increase our strength further!"
"The Silva family has lost a lot of power in that short time since the tensions began in our region. And considering how little we know, I believe they will still suffer much more if this war on the Black Plain happens!"
"Yes. And if it does, we will take their place and become the third strongest organization in the kingdom." Then, another person, someone on the patriarch's left side, said this.
After the three most powerful individuals expressed their opinions, the others opened their eyes in awe, sensing that they would soon have access to additional resources.
The noble families had their ranks given by the royal houses in the region. Such a thing was like the level of credibility of these organizations, which could facilitate access to specific resources or territories.
Besides wanting to have more territories, each family would seek chances to be more prestigious. To become more respected in the region and gain access to top organizations and specific opportunities!
With this in mind, the people of this family hoped to gain the space that was lost by the Silva family during this period, to have even more experts in the future.
Maybe then they would leave this region one day, as had happened to the Red family, the former ruler of the current House Silva's territory.
They were not concerned about Abby's family at the moment because such an organization was already mighty, and King Brown would definitely not allow such a noble house to absorb more power.
As much as the Brown family was stronger and with the best numbers of experts, far superior to the Miller family, they had learned from the case of the Kain family from the Kingdom of the Waves.
The Walker family of that time had allowed the Kains to reach numbers similar to their own, so they had almost fallen to their enemies.
That had happened because at no other time in remembered local history had a power smaller than a royal family reached the numbers of a top regional organization.
Because of this, the Kains had been neglected and had had the opportunity to attain enough power to threaten a regional royal house!
But history was there to prevent people from repeating the same mistakes, and the Browns had understood the message passed on that occasion!
So, now that the Silva family had fallen so far in comparison to their former glory, House Brown would not allow the Miller family to gain more power.
That would completely break the balance in the kingdom and cause a rebellion to break out sooner or later.
Consequently, the Sutton family had the best chance of receiving the blessing of House Brown after the war. To hold off the growth of the Miller family and keep the kingdom strong enough to deal with other states in case strange things happen in the future.
And knowing this, these individuals from House Sutton were unconcerned about the Miller family trying to get in their way in taking the place of the Silva family!
"Anyway, people, let's get our troops ready!"
"Notify all subordinates and our brothers who are outside headquarters at this time so that everyone will return here."
"We will stop our business outside the kingdom until this conflict is resolved!"
"It's time for us to fight!" He stood up as he said this, smiling in satisfaction at the great opportunity that had fallen into his lap.
"That's it! For the family!"
"For the family!"
...
While toasts were being made during the Sutton family's planning, Abby's family members had already received the royal announcement.
They did not need to receive such a thing to know what would happen next since Minos had already warned all his allies about the incident in Dry City.
But this family still needed to maintain certain appearances, taking steps to let everyone see that they were preparing to help the kingdom!
So, some of their previous planning had taken public visibility, while the high-ranking members had also gathered to talk about the future.
"Sigh..."
"Things have finally developed to this level." Daphne Miller, level 56, the right-hand of this family patriarch, commented this in a low voice while feeling worried about what would happen next.
Another high-level elder, level 55, then nodded in agreement and said. "It truly happens fast. How many months have passed since we signed the agreement with young Minos? Four?"
"Around that..."
"It hasn't even given us time to strengthen more of us in Dry City, and we're already on the verge of war!" Someone said while feeling bad about it.
This feeling was not only because they had not taken advantage of the agreement with Minos for long enough. But because, unlike the other organizations in this kingdom, they were aware that young Stuart's plans were far more audacious.
Minos wanted a regional war, after all.
As such, they knew that the conflict would be much more frightening than what the noble families of this state were assuming right now.
"Don't worry, we have every advantage on the side of our family, and with the war going on, we will be able to speed up the sending of our members to Dry City."
"In another situation, many would not have that opportunity!" Another elder commented as he recalled that if they were to fight a war, they would need to 'lose' some of their members.
After all, Minos' enemies would surely lose, and as vassals of House Brown, they could not stay intact when everyone else certainly would not.
And those losses would naturally go to Dry City, where they could support Minos' forces and take advantage of the opportunities there.
In short, it was an excellent chance for these less prestigious Miller family guards, those individuals who, in a normal situation, would not be sent to Dry City.
And even if many were not noble, if they were just subordinates, as long as they got stronger, the Miller family would already gain from all this!
"What about young Minos? I hear he is powerful, but it will be better if he gets to level 51 right away. How long should we wait for that?"
"I don't know, it's been three months since he managed to reach level 50, but we don't know how long it might take for him to advance again. After all, he's not like us..."
"Well, I've heard that Dillian can advance in level in less than a year, even at our cultivation stage... Maybe young Minos will get there in less than six months..."
And then the conversations continued in that place.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
