The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 769 - Creating And Solving Problems



Another week passed!

Dry City continued its developments under Mia and sometimes Dillian, who still dealt with the wounded from the recent battles. In particular, those people who had gone to the naval base with the ships of that fleet that had attacked the coast of Maritime City.

A few hundred soldiers and inhabitants of that city had made that route when leaving that area before the explosions that obliterated Maritime City.

So, even if the numbers of those groups were not significant, Dillian was still working hard at the General Hospital. After all, the combatants of the Black Plain Army couldn't stay out of shape for long!

On the other hand, Minos closely led the army's actions, working at headquarters alongside Abby and the Spiritual Kings of his organization.

But meanwhile, the enemies of Minos and the Black Plain continued to work in and out of this territory to respond to his bold actions as soon as possible!

Each of the remaining noble families of the Brown Kingdom was sending massive troops, more robust than those that had come to the Black Plain at the first moment of the war.

Hence, those forces already on the Black Plain were trying to keep their distance from Dry City, waiting for the right moment to act.

Still, meanwhile, some minor clashes between enemies had been going on in this territory, something that took place when two opposing sides met nearby.

But this involved only a fraction of the number of people in this territory, those in the temporary camps, either of the Minos army or the counter-revolutionary forces.

Anyway, while things were developing as expected in the Brown Kingdom, some troubling things were happening outside this territory.

...

The headquarters of the Collins family, Kingdom of the Waves...

At the headquarters of this organization, things were becoming increasingly tumultuous with the growing tension that this family had been experiencing.

Previously, with the appointment of Charles as crown prince and the impending death of the current king, the leading figures in this family couldn't help but be optimistic about their future.

However, they had been embroiled in huge problems!

Now, that entire organization was entangled with the problems generated by the simple action of months ago, the attack on that naval base on the Black Plain.

First, they had lost 10 Spiritual Kings on the Black Plain fighting against an opponent they had no track record against. After that, things on Stone Island had gotten out of hand.

Their actions against the Nash family had reached a stalemate where they could no longer harm the opposing side without being heavily damaged as a consequence!

Not only that, they had accumulated some more expert losses in that place!

But this family was now faced with an unlikely enemy, who accused such organization of attacking them!

As a result, the tension between the leaders of this organization was at an all-time high, and they could hardly take advantage of Charles' rise.

However, amid all the problems that the Collins family was facing, the headquarters of this organization were working more and more in search of answers to this crisis.

They had offended an unknown enemy, which probably could not act directly against them, but was an undeniable threat. Moreover, the enemies on Stone Island were no longer under the danger of destruction. And such a noble organization would undoubtedly try to take revenge in the future. Finally, they had now supposedly learned that they had attacked the Brown family!

Every problem could potentially eliminate them from this vast Spiritual World. Consequently, they could not take such matters lightly.

And that was what the strongest individuals of House Collins were doing at this moment in a meeting room of this headquarters in question.

...

In a room where only six middle-aged individuals were distributed around a table, Patriarch Collins was the only one standing now.

"We face an unprecedented crisis, and if we are not willing to use all the devices at our disposal, we may not have a chance to counterattack later."

"Unfortunately, we have to assume that the situation is out of control, and we cannot continue to act on our own as if we can resolve these issues without help."

"That is a fact!" He solemnly said as he looked at the three men and two women who were at that location.

"I believe the problem with the Brown family can be solved with talks."

"Although we will most likely have our reputation tarnished throughout the region for losing our own warships and having to publicly accept the death of many of our experts, this can be resolved before it becomes a bloodbath."

"The question is about what we can do regarding the two threats to our family!"

"The Nash family will destroy us if we don't annihilate them first!"

Upon hearing this, the people in that place became even more solemn, while some frowned vigorously. 

"Impossible, patriarch!"

"The Nashs are in a much worse state than we are! How will they destroy us?"

"The same way they escaped destruction a few weeks ago on Stone Island." That stronger individual there commented as he remembered how shocking it was to discover that the leaders of the Allen family had been wiped out.

Elen's family should not have such power considering all that had happened recently. After all, if they could do such a thing from the beginning, they would not have lost so many of their members during the recent months of conflict in that state!

Therefore, that action could only mean that the Nash family had gained some powerful support.

And to think about it gave the patriarch Collins chills!

"I'm afraid that the same thing that happened to Duncan and Rolf will happen to us before long." He said in earnest, slowly looking into the eyes of those five people in the surroundings.

Gulp!

Constant Collins was on the same level as Duncan Allen when that person was killed by the actions of Celeste and Marvin Nash. Because of this, every single person in that room did not doubt at all the fear of their patriarch and how severe the threat to them was!

"We must gather our allies!"

"Yes. Since we have already reached this point, we must at least do everything in our power to eliminate this threat. Even if it costs us our honor!"

"Here's what we'll do..."

...

As the conversations of those people from the Collins family continued, a great event was being hosted in the capital of the Snow Kingdom.

In such a metropolis, dozens of thousands of people were in the vicinity of a large public square in the noblest part of this capital city, in front of the royal palace.

But these people were not in such a place to celebrate some public holiday or demonstrate some cultural habit of this state. On the contrary, so many people were gathering in this place for an attraction appreciated all over this continent.

That attraction was not exactly long, but it was unforgettable for those who attended. On the other hand, the demonstration of power itself during such an event was already enough to make many individuals revel in the pain of a third party.

And that attraction was about to begin at this very moment!

In that square, in front of the royal palace, there was a large platform made of gold and other valuable metals, something worthy of the people in the stands at the sides of that structure.

But the main point of the show was not the high standard guests, but the strange structure in the middle of that platform, where at the moment there was a man attached to such a thing.

That was obviously a public execution!

And the main character of such a show was none other than the patriarch of the Chambers family, who was listening to the opening statements of his own trial.

"Citizens of the kingdom, this man in front of you, despite his very dignified position as patriarch of one of the few regional noble families, has conspired against your kingdom!"

"This person is a degenerate who has sucked the nectar of excruciating effort from many of the captives captured by his family, violating many of the social norms acceptable in our region."

"Worst of all, he is the accomplice behind the death of His Highness, Alexander Snow!"
