The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2603  Riverpeak Front

Inside the main tent of the camp, Minos found the general in charge of the area sitting at a table with a map of the region on it.

Ignoring the many details on the map, Minos looked at the General, a man he had little interaction with within the guild, but whom she had seen a few times in recent years.

"Is General Minos just passing through, or will he be staying with us for a while?" The level 113 Sovereign asked, standing next to the level 114 General.

Minos picked up a glass and a pitcher of drink from another table over there, while Abby and Ruth looked at the map of the region. "I'm looking for information. We're just passing through this camp."

"That's too bad. You could join our men," said the General, taking his eyes off the map. "Where are you going?"

"Riverpeak Front," Ruth said in her husband's place, pointing with a finger toward the enemy territory marked on the map.

The two men in the command tent looked at Minos, not expecting the three to actually want to travel to such a place. This was enemy territory, where anyone would quickly be surrounded by enemies, traps, and the natural dangers of Oqia.

"This is going to be dangerous. Don't you think you should change your mind? Your efforts at the headquarters have already brought a lot of positive points to the guild." The Senior Officer next to the General suggested.

They knew about Minos and Abby's achievements, their fantastic powers, and the special promotions they had received in recent years. But they didn't know about the qualitative breakthrough Minos had achieved a few days ago.

Minos drank the entire contents of the cup in his hand and smiled. "A good drink, General. Maybe I will buy some of this in the future."

The General ignored him and insisted on what his subordinate had already said. "I ask General Minos to reconsider. It's too dangerous. There are at least 200 peak Sovereigns at the Riverpeak Front. Going there is suicide, even for you."

"200 peak Sovereigns? That's a rather atypical number." Abby looked at the two men.

"Indeed, it is. But the enemy forces have been acting strangely lately. I suspect it's because of the Supreme corpses, Officer." The General looked at the blue-haired woman with respect and awe.

Minos was someone who could kill. But Abby, she was someone who could force the dead to serve her, something far more sinister!

With Minos, his enemies at least had a chance to elude him with their death. But with Abby, not even the end of a life would be a guarantee that she wouldn't make them regret their mistakes!

The level 113 Senior Officer added to his boss's speech. "The sect in this area is holding a meeting of battalions from groups under their control. They should join the nearby battlefields in the next few weeks."

The world was not a place completely ruled directly by the great powers. In Oqia, as everywhere Minos had been, there were organizations, peak, subordinate, subordinate of subordinate, and so on, including third-party mercenary groups.

Armhands itself had such groups, and their enemies were no different.

Usually, groups led by Supremes had subordinate groups led by one or more Supremes, who in turn had subordinate groups led by powerful Sovereigns. This was repeated down to the lowest levels of power, with "weak" individuals performing minor tasks far away from the powerful.

The Riverpeak Front force was supposed to have only 45 peak Sovereigns. But because of the preparations of such a force, their subordinates were in the area and adding their numbers.

Minos said with interest, "Perfect. Give us the location of the key members of this group, the general number of high-level opponents, the possibility of involving the Supremes, and the current position of the confrontation between you and them."

"Are you still going to proceed?" The General asked with a solemn look on his face, sensing Minos was trying to get him into trouble.

"Yes. I've just moved up a level. I'm eager to test my powers in battle. But if the General is worried, I invite him to join us. It would be interesting to test my powers on you as well." Minos suggested with a smile on his face.

After his experiments with Abby regarding the black liquid, he had developed an interest in testing things.

The General turned pale when he saw he had gotten himself into trouble. Now that Minos had invited him, there was no way he could refuse!

"Braldro, you stay here and take care of the camp while I accompany the General and the Officers."

"General!" Braldro exclaimed in surprise, not expecting his leader to put himself in such a position.

The General ignored the level 113 Sovereign's protest and said what Minos wanted to hear. "There are 5,000 high-level Sovereigns in the place you want to go. Most of them, between 70% and 90%, should be in the Monastery of Chaos. There shouldn't be any Supremes in the area, but we can't guarantee that. Supremes can hide very well from us Sovereigns..."

The General went on for five minutes, describing the main battle points in the area, the situation in the recent battles, and even what he would do if many enemies died in the Monastery of Chaos.

"Very well. If you're ready, we should go to the enemy headquarters," Minos said with calmness in his voice, despite the bloody implications and risks for everyone involved.

"General, reconsider," said the Senior Officer next to the level 114 Sovereign, who thought it was all a mistake.

"If Minos is making a mistake, I could save them by sacrificing my parasite. In that case, having these men from the camp ready to distract us from our escape might be the best thing for us.

The General thought for a moment before giving his order. "Braldro, prepare our troops. On my signal, you are to attack the Monastery of Chaos!" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With these words, Minos, Ruth, Abby and the level 114 General set off towards the nearby enemy headquarters!

Braldro had no choice but to stay behind and prepare his troops to attack the main battlefield on his superior's signal.

Meanwhile, the four companions flew to the enemy outpost just a few days away from this camp.
