The Rise of the Black Plain

Five weeks later...

After traveling swiftly, making as few stops as possible on his way back home, Minos spotted the Dry City dome with a satisfied grin.

He had traveled for weeks alongside only the spiritual beast carrying him, having trained hard with it, and used his free time for self-improvement.

And as much as there were still a few weeks left before he could achieve a level advancement, Minos had gotten very close to level 54 in those days.

Moreover, nothing of great significance had occurred on their way to this city, where at the moment, Maida was slowly lowering her altitude.

But in the several weeks of travel between the Snow Kingdom and this place, Minos had discovered news items about the war in his territory through the regional periodicals.

Among them was the Kingdom of the Waves troops' withdrawal from the Black Plain, which had happened less than a fortnight ago when Blake and Wilfred finally managed to execute their plans.

And, of course, this change profoundly affected everyone involved in the Black Plain's war of independence.

The Walker family had used the justification that they had suffered greatly from the effects of the war, the effects of being an enemy of young Stuart. Because of this, they declared that they needed to retreat to their territory, where they would try to recover from their many recent losses.

But even though this justification was highly plausible, it had pleased almost no one. On the contrary, even that organization's vassals had been irritated by such a thing.

After all, they had all lost enough already.

At this point in the war, it would simply be better to fight to the very end to at least annihilate the enemy. That is, of course, considering that many of the regional families' reinforcements had already arrived in the region.

As for the allies of the Counter-Revolutionary Army, because of that decision, they had lost more than 20% of their forces, so they were the angriest about it.

But regardless of whether these people were happy or not, the Walker family had withdrawn most of their state troops from the Black Plain. The only ones left there had been the Reid and Collins families, who had been enemies of Minos much longer than that royal family.

Hence, an unprecedented situation on the Black Plain occurred. For the first time since the beginning of the war, the Dry City forces were not at a disadvantage but an advantage!

After the withdrawal of those troops from the Kingdom of the Waves, the difference in numbers between the warriors on Minos' side and the enemies had greatly diminished. Not only that, but with the withdrawal from that kingdom, more organizations from Stone Island had begun to act in favor of Minos.

Among them was the royal family of that state that had previously been waiting for the arrival of their descendants to start acting.

But even before those people were allowed to act, that family had already sent fleets with thousands of fighters to the Black Plain!

And with these changes, currently, the Black Plain's allied forces were slowly marching against enemy outposts and reclaiming previously lost areas.

In any case, the situation had just turned in Minos' favor, so it could still take quite a while before the Dry City forces could regain all the lost territory.

Not only because there were still hundreds of thousands of enemies around this territory but also because the reinforcements coming from the Flaming Empire were already in this area.

They had not acted yet because of the negotiation attempt Gloria had scheduled for the next few days. But with these people present, the flames of war certainly still had plenty of fuel to burn!

And knowing this, Minos was pleased with those brothers' deeds, which had taken longer than he had assumed but had happened as promised.

On the other hand, considering the recent deal he made with the Snow family and the possibility that the leadership of House Carline was trembling with fear, Minos was reassured about the war.

He knew that there were variables outside this region. Still, these were possibilities that he thought were less problematic since once the region was at peace, outside powers would also find it more difficult to initiate action.

With all this in mind, he finally climbed off Maida's back with a smile on his face, wanting to find Abby as soon as possible.

...

And quickly, the young Stuart made his way to his mansion, having greeted several soldiers and allies as he ran through the streets of Dry City.

Meanwhile, Maida had moved on toward the Beast Park, where she would live. This beast had a great experience at Minos' side, and she had not thought twice before accepting the invitation made by him to stay here.

There was a great honor to serve someone so strong and talented. So, she had not wasted the chance to secure her place in this city!

With that, the two parted, with that tigress arriving first at her goal. Soon after, Minos entered his mansion, looking for his beautiful fiancée.

...

"Abby?" Minos opened the door to his office soon after greeting Mia and shortly saw the figure of that blue-haired woman resting with her eyes closed in his armchair.

Upon seeing the beautiful face of his fiancée, a happy smile appeared on Minos' face as he walked toward her.

On the other hand, upon hearing her favorite voice, Abby opened her eyes in surprise, fearful that this was a dream. "Minos!" She said aloud, jumping from where she was toward her man's arms.

"Abby, you are much stronger." He said this as he held her in his arms in a warm embrace that only lovers could experience. "I've missed you."

"I missed you too, Minos..." Abby answered him as she sniffed his neck, gradually moving up her face towards the lips she so longed wished to kiss.

"So, many months without feeling your touch... You don't know the stress I had to go through all this time." She commented sweetly before she finally placed her tongue inside his mouth.

Sensing Abby's movement, Minos was not surprised and soon began to make his movements against her, prepared to help relieve her and his desires.

First, he slowly made his way towards the sofa in the center of that office, without stopping kissing Abby or playing with her body.

Then, he sat down on that place, quickly bringing the woman in his arms onto his lap.

And after kissing for almost 3 minutes in that position, with several of Abby's clothes already on the outskirts, Minos parted his lips from hers and watched her face.

He looked at her flushed face, focusing for a moment on this woman's pink lips, before finally looking into her dilated pupils. "I'm sorry about that, Abby." He said, running one of his hands over her right cheek. "But don't worry, from now on, even if I have to travel far, I will take you with me."

"You promise?" She asked this as she bit her lips while using her two hands around his neck.

"Hmmm. I promise."

"After all, I won't be able to leave my wife aside." He joked as he remembered that he had arranged with her for the wedding right after Black Plain's independence.

Hearing this, Abby felt an intense warmth in her body. She smiled in happiness at being able to love this man who never failed to satisfy her, even when he had so many responsibilities and possibilities.

"Let me take care of you first." She whispered in one of his ears as she bent down and got on her knees in front of Minos.

After that, Abby removed her partner's underwear before finally kissing that rod she loved to have inside her...

Slurp!

"Oh! Abby..."
