The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2630  End of the War

On the same day as Jalai's attack on Jabez's group, the 10 Elders of Armhands, alongside the Supreme corpses and Generals, acted against other important pillars of the Firestone Mines alliance.

The day after Jabez's death, news of the whole incident circulated throughout the central region, reaching Firestone Mines' allies, enemies and even forces that had no relation to the war.

In just one day, Armhands' forces managed eleven 12th stage victories, with over 30 enemy Supremes dying to the guild led by Jalai.

As Minos and Segiel prepared for a new attack, the war was winding down with the withdrawal of the last of those involved alive!

...

In the allied camp town of Firestone Minos, about four weeks' journey from Examire, the place now looked more like an abandoned lot after a big get-together than a city.

Of the thousands of Zocarro natives who had previously lived there, there was no one left!

After the news of what had happened in the last few hours, there was no way the place could stand. Over 10,000 beings fled, heading in the opposite direction to Armhands' domains.

The Supremes who intended to act against Armhands' headquarters were flying off in different directions, heading either to the far north or the far south of the continent.

The troops that were already moving towards Examire had turned around and disbanded, with even the war fanatics, who had agreed to fight in the worst conditions, having no choice but to give up.

What could they do now that their head men had died? In the great Armhands action, led by Juma, the advantage in the number of Supremes had gone to the Armhands' side. But now, with this incident, the difference in the number of specialists between the two sides had grown so vast that the confrontation had become untenable.

Thus, a level 117 enemy of Minos and Segiel, who had many plans for the two until recently, was currently flying south in a hurry, with his tail between his legs.

Did he resent his enemies? Not in the slightest. In the situation he was in, the leader of those men forced to flee Minos' group could only wish for peace and quiet.

'I hope they don't start a big hunt against all of us. If they don't, maybe in a few centuries I'll be able to join some other force again.' Thought the man moving through the shadows of a forest.

...

Meanwhile, in another area of the continent...

Elder Navey was returning to the guild after leading the victory against the old Firestone Mines headquarters. As one of the strongest elders in the guild today, with cultivation at level 121, he had led the major movement of the men of Jalai.

After leaving the old Firestone Mines headquarters in the hands of the guild's men, he was returning in victory to the guild, curious and eager to observe Minos up close again.

His recent victories and the Supreme Leader's achievement didn't even catch his attention. His interest was only in returning and continuing his observations.

"General, go back to the guild by yourself. I'll pick up my speed a bit."

"Elder—" The man was about to say something when Navey disappeared, leaving him alone while he was 2,000 meters above the surface.

'Impressive! Level 121... Will I ever get there?' wondered the level 115 individual who had been helped by Minos to reach the 12th stage.

...

Meanwhile, Klaus found himself at the headquarters of one of Firestone Mines' allied organizations. The place was a magnificent wooden building in the heart of an enchanted forest. The air was filled with the enticing aroma of a sizzling barbecue as the aliens in the vicinity skewered the bodies of their enemies on massive skewers. The former Commander of the guild, now the Tenth Elder of the Council, declared, "Eat up! Yesterday, we emerged victorious, but tomorrow, we'll resume our business!" The men joyously lifted their skewers and clinked their mugs together, their laughter and animated conversations echoing throughout the grandiose surroundings.

"I wonder how things are at the guild headquarters? I'm eager to see how our men have stood up to our absence," said one of the high level Generals, catching Klaus' eye.

He, too, was curious. The only news that had reached them was that, months ago, the headquarters had been attacked by enemy forces and wreaked havoc on the guild. However, they couldn't do anything about it at the time, as they had more important plans in mind.

After that, they didn't know what might have happened, but they had the expectation that their men had held out, even if they had to sacrifice themselves and suffer a lot. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"With Segiel and all the Generals left behind, as well as young Minos, it's likely that our guild will still stand in Examire. But let's prepare for the worst. The enemies have been just as brutal as us in recent months." Klaus said, causing the Generals, close to him, to fall silent for a moment, wondering how their companions were doing.

In this place, not so close to the leaders of the area, Maximillian, currently at level 111, was eating alongside the aliens in his surroundings, also imagining the outcome of the attacks on the headquarters.

But he didn't think that Minos and his people had perished. 'They're tough nuts to crack. They're certainly stronger and have more merit,' this black-haired man thought to himself.

As he ate and thought about Minos, the surrounding men looked at him with respect. Even though he was only a level 111 Sovereign, Maximillian had fought bravely and survived confrontations in which men stronger than he had died.

Luckily for him, his regeneration ability was incredible and had once again saved him from death.

He smiled at his companions toasting him, sighing at having made it to the end of the war alive.

'Sigh... Minos, you almost killed me by making me a Senior Officer... Lucky the war is over now. I'll move more carefully from now on. In particular, it's time for me to go into seclusion.' He closed his eyes as he sighed in relief, imagining that, with the conflict over and the merits he had earned in the war, he could enjoy a few years of calm and strength within the headquarters.

'I won't leave my cultivation cave until I become a level 112 Sovereign!'
