The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 985 End Of Negotiations

"Bastard!"

"You are a pest!" King Brown said this in hatred, feeling the urge to strangle young Stuart.

Unfortunately, he did not have the strength to do so. Not only that, but even though he was standing next to his Spiritual Emperors, none of them could do anything against Minos in this place.

That was the camp of the Spiritual Church, a place they should show respect. But moreover, as much as Maisie was not there, none of those people were unaware of her presence in the vicinity.

And knowing all this very well, Thomas could only swallow his hatred, waiting for this event to be over when he would finally act with all the strength he had now.

Minos ignored that individual and then observed the faces of the Spiritual Emperors there. Each was relatively close to either King Brown, King Snow, or the supreme elder of House Cromwell.ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Realizing this, Minos soon understood who was from each kingdom. Specifically, he observed a man whose expression was as repulsive as that of a man whose wife had been unfaithful to him with his best friend.

"Is there a problem?" Minos asked that fellow, curious to know where such resentment came from.

They were enemies. However, for these people coming from the Flaming Empire as reinforcements for the regional families, their hatred for Minos was much less than that of their family members.

After all, they had not experienced all the terror, fear, and hatred for Minos as these people who had been in this region since the beginning of the war. Plus, as people who had lived in the empire for a long time, their relationship with their families was no longer as close as it once had been.

But still, that man in Thomas' group seemed to have a personal grudge against Minos._{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

"Humph!"

"You can act grandly for now, but soon no one will be able to protect you!" That man commented deeply, feeling his hand itching with the urge to hit Minos.

As King Brown's group rose to leave that place, that man looked once more at Minos and said. "When you fall, remember that it was by the actions of House Silva that all your misfortune originated!"

"Oh?" Minos said in surprise, finally understanding where that person's hatred was coming from. 'So that's it...'

He then promptly remembered the group of assassins coming from the empire that had attacked him several months ago on the Black Plain.

'Well, it looks like these people will want to experience the ultimate consequences of standing against me, huh?' He continued to look toward the exit of that place, emitting an intense murderous intent.

'Very well, since you want it that way, then I'll make it a point to eliminate you completely!' He made up his mind determinedly.

Minos initially did not plan to exterminate the Silva family. Instead, he only wanted to take revenge on the people responsible for his father's death and be willing to kill those who tried to act against him.

But as long as they stayed away from him, this young man would not persecute that family.

However, when he realized that such a family could not move forward and overcome the past, he was ready to use more decisive actions against them. _{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴoᴠᴇʟ}

Since they did not appreciate the peace they had had since the death of their own family's leadership, he would make it a point to end the Silvas' history!

'Silva family, Collins, Reid. Others may have survivors, but these three noble houses need to disappear!' He watched the rest of the Cromwell family leave that place and then turned to Adam Snow.

Seeing that old fellow trembling with fear, Minos took a deep breath and said. "After those negotiations are over, your group will join a pursuit."

"Pursuit?" Adam's eyes sharpened. "Pursuit of whom?"

"I want to eliminate the entourage of the Brown and Cromwell families. Then your group will join the Walker and Stone families to eliminate the Cromwell family group."

"The Carline family's group and mine will deal with the Brown family's." He said without much ceremony, peacefully speaking as if he were planning a tour.

pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴoᴠᴇʟ And hearing that, each of the people in the Snow Kingdom group felt shivers of fear, realizing how terrible this young man was.

'He couldn't force these people to surrender, so he's just going to kill them?'

Gulp!

'He truly is decisive!' _{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

And while these people were impressed by Minos' coolness, none of them were surprised to hear that the Walker and Carline families were also in on it.

After all, the command of this family was already suspicious of Minos having 'proposed' similar things to these royal houses that he proposed in the Snow Kingdom capital to them.

"That..." King Snow felt drops of sweat forming on his forehead as he saw Minos' calm expression. "And what happens after that?"

"After that, when you return to your state, I want your family to recognize the Black Plain as an independent state and publicly admit your subordination to us."

"Other than that, just take care of the Snow Kingdom for me while my forces deal with the final moment of the war." He smiled, already imagining what the near future would be like when the war finally ended.

As it had happened in recent years, the war on the Black Plain could be over in a few days. But the war period itself could still last for months since many organizations in the Brown and Cromwell Kingdom needed to be controlled.

At the same time, the Black Plain's vengeance and punishments had to happen as soon. Otherwise, Minos' enemies would surely hide or flee if his forces took too long to act.

With this, he knew that he would only have the peace of mind to lead his state in a post-war situation after all this was resolved, which could take much longer than necessary to frighten his current enemies.

In any case, even if he had to resolve multiple issues until the war was actually over, Minos did not intend to use the forces of the regional royal families to his advantage constantly.

No, he had created his army to do the necessary work. He had no intention of asking for help or ordering other subordinates to get involved in his affairs unless it was indispensable.

And since he had already promised relative independence to those kingdoms to the north, he didn't like the idea of having to intervene all the time to get troops from those states.

That's why he said that to Adam!

"I see." That old king said in a low voice, feeling sorry that his family would have to be publicly subjugated for the first time in their history, right in his governance.

"Sigh..."

'Shame on me.' He lamented in his heart but said nothing to Minos as there were no openings for it. 'At least the Walker and Carline families are in the same boat as us...'

...

After the previous meeting, hours had passed. By now, all the people who had attended this attempted peace negotiation were already in the same meeting place as before.

In that place, the silence at this moment was much more significant than at the first attempt at conversation, while the tension in the air was hard to miss.

And while the people in that area were looking at each other dangerously, Gloria was sitting in her armchair, looking at Minos while feeling strange for knowing this young man's intentions.

Not only that, noticing the mood of the people in that place, it was not hard for her to realize that with or without her help, he would eliminate many of those people.

"Sigh..."

'At least the war will be over soon.' She looked on the bright side as she washed her hands of any responsibility.

She then said. "Well, I've tried to speak up for the sake of peace, but none of you seem genuinely interested in putting down your weapons and shaking hands."

"Well, we won't get involved in that anymore."

She then looked at those Spiritual Emperors and said. "You are allowed to act after you leave this camp. But do not abuse your positions since my Church will be watching everything from afar."

Gulp!

Gulping sounds reverberated around there, with the pressure in the air increasing a little more.

"These negotiations have failed. Now accept whatever fate brings to you!"
