The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 645: How to Influence Minds and Hearts

Hours after the attack on the Black Plain Army naval base had ended, the news of such a thing had already reached this organization's headquarters.

At first, as soon as that situation had begun, emergency alarms had gone off at headquarters, indicating some trouble at the army naval base.

However, as much as the soldiers in a commanding position at headquarters understood that there was something wrong at that base, they could not tell what the problem was just from that warning.

There were no communication arrays powerful enough for people so far away from each other to talk through such an item. At least that was the truth for the Black Plain and the rest of the northern Central Continent, where there were no grade-3 array masters or above...

Because of this regional poverty, there was no way for the soldiers from headquarters and that naval base to talk after that audible warning went off at army headquarters.

The only way was through the crows!

But after the army dispatched a group of reinforcements to that base, which would investigate and solve the problems there, a few hours later, a crow sent by Celeste had arrived in Dry City.

Because of this, Minos was now in his office, even though it was now the middle of the night on the Black Plain, and he was still in his pajamas...

Anyway, in that place, Dillian was by the side of the local sovereign, while two administrative soldiers who were standing by on the night shift were there informing Minos what had happened.

"... And that is what happened, young master." Then, one of them finished reporting the information sent by Celeste.

"So, the Collins family of the Kingdom of the Waves attacked us..." Dillian repeated what he had just heard from that soldier, trying to understand the reason for such a thing.

He knew about almost all the army's actions. Still, this doctor had no idea why an organization from that kingdom had attacked the local army base.

Minos and his organization had never had any relationship with the Collins family... So, what was the reason for such an attack?

That was truly strange!

After all, such an action could be compared to someone introducing himself to another person while punching the other side in the middle of the face...

And with such an introduction, there was no chance of a good relationship developing between these two parties.

'I wonder what the reason of these individuals is? Could it be that the young master was mistaken, and they attacked our base for that? Or maybe this is related to that heir of the Kingdom of the Waves?' Dillian reflected as he scratched his mustache and looked at the ground.

Minos then commented. "For now, let's wait for the interrogation of this woman that Celeste captured to understand the motives behind this attack..."

Page was not doing well at all after the fight against Celeste.? So, Celeste had not had the opportunity to interrogate that woman and send more detailed information to headquarters.

Therefore, this group would still have to wait more time to understand the motivation for such gratuitous violence.

"It seems that my fight against the powers related to Charles Walker is inevitable... And they still attacked me first!"

"Maybe they have some information about me?"

Minos knew of Charles' origin and that his mother was a noble of the Collins family.

Because of this, the young Stuart understood perfectly well that such a noble organization would probably get involved in a fight against him sooner or later.

He just didn't expect that it would be the other side that would make the first attack...

"I believe not, young master. Otherwise, they would have come directly to Dry City." So, Dillian expressed right after hearing Minos' inquiry. "But that doesn't exclude the possibility that the heir of that kingdom is related to this situation."

"Hmm, true."

'Well, as soon as I have some free time, I will go to the Kingdom of the Waves to kill this problem.' He considered as he scratched his brown hair. 'It's just a pity that in the next months, I probably won't have time for that.'

'The war against the Brown Kingdom should start in less than three months, and after that happens, I probably won't have peace until I reach level 51.'

'But after that happens, my strength will probably reach the minimum necessary for me to have the freedom to deal with this nuisance!' He calmly planned as he analyzed the possible situations.

However, Minos soon put aside these more distant matters and turned his attention to the problem closer to him. "It's a disgrace that we lost some of our soldiers in this incident... But at least we managed to win and greatly diminish the enemy's power."

"As such, let's award the families of the dead soldiers and build a monument to honor the ones who died in that event and who will in the future fall while protecting the Black Plain."

"We need to make the local population remember the sacrifice of these warriors and also their families..."

"At a time as troubled as this one, we need to unite the minds and hearts of Dry City for the sake of our independence!" He said, looking at those two soldiers and then at Dillian.

Hearing this, this doctor nodded in agreement. "That is indeed a good idea, young master. When should we do this?"

"We will make a small monument in no more than three months. And when the war is over, we will make something even more magnificent..."

"OK."

Minos then looked at those two soldiers and said. "Start making arrangements for us to send some replacements to that naval base."

"On the other hand, I want a group of builders to be directed to that base early tomorrow morning to fix the structural problems caused by such an incident."

"OK, young master."

He then looked at Dillian and said. "And aks the Miller family to send us a medium-level grade-2 defensive array. We can't leave that base vulnerable."

"If not for such defenses, this attack by the Collins family could have resulted in a massacre!"

Indeed, Minos was not talking nonsense.

The outcome of that confrontation had only been so favorable for this young man's army because his soldiers had the geographical advantage in that fight.

They had not suffered from the cannons of the enemy warships, which could easily have killed hundreds of the soldiers of that post. They also had not been so exposed to their opponents since few of those cannons had destroyed the walls there.

Because of that barrier, Minos' forces were intact at the beginning of the fight.

There were almost no problems around that base when the barrier was finally destroyed!

Consequently, the soldiers at that post had not had to fight so head-to-head with the numerous opponents, who had been forced to expose themselves to the tactics of the group commanded by Celeste.

For all that, Minos would not risk leaving that place without such adequate protection!

"I will do that as soon as the day dawns, young master." Dillian replied without much delay.

"Good!"

"By the way, Todd is still in Dry City even though he and I have already reached an alliance agreement... So, talk to him about asking the Cohen family to start spying on the Collins family."

"Fine."

After that, that group talked for a few more moments before each of those people went their separate ways.

Those two soldiers still had to continue working until dawn. At the same time, Dillian normally trained his medical skills on this part of the daytime.

As for Minos, he had already cultivated and had fun with his girlfriends earlier. So, at the moment, the only thing he wanted was to sleep for a few hours so that he could start a new day full of energy when the skies cleared up.

"Hmm, in the future, I will have to have at least one of the army Spiritual King in Dry City while I am away in the Spatial Kingdom..." He muttered as he yawned and made his way back to his room.

After that, it didn't take long for him to lie down in the middle of two beautiful women and sleep for the next few hours before dawn.
