The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter ?1133 Good News?

After a few minutes, Margot arrived at the capital of the Brown Kingdom, where dozens of guards were startled by the arrival of a Spiritual Saint.

Typically speaking, people in this region would not feel so afraid of Spiritual Saints since they usually only traveled through the local skies and usually did not even enter the local cities.

Moreover, there was the Church to maintain order in the region, and they were guaranteed that none of these experts would go crazy and start causing chaos in the area.

However, with the recent events and disturbing news coming from the Black Plain, there was no way the local Spiritual Kings could ignore the fear in their hearts of such experts.

"Spiritual Saint! Is he here to destroy us?" Raynard shouted in surprise as he felt a powerful aura in the vicinity of his royal palace.

Not only he, his older sister, who was still in this city, trembled in panic as she looked at her mother. "Let's run!" She said.

But Thomas Brown's widow was a true patriot who would not run unless that was her last option. "Let's look at the situation first, Diana."

Then each of the Spiritual Kings in that royal palace headed in Margot's direction, the Temple of the City of the Setting Sun.

...

Meanwhile, in the Temple of the Spiritual Church...

"Matriarch!" Several members of that post shouted upon seeing that woman's red clothes, promptly beginning to prostrate in admiration that such an expert had allowed them to see her.

At the same time, the Bishops inside that building were quick to run towards her, at first startled, but soon after relieved that she was a member of the Church, not some madman.

"Matriarch, to what do we owe this visit?" The purple-clothed people asked in nervous tones.

Seeing the low number of local Bishops and the youthful appearances of most of them, Margot found this situation strange and asked. "Why are there so few of you here? In fact, you are too weak to maintain a post like this..."

Gulp!

The oldest of those people stepped forward and bowed his head to answer her. "Archbishop Frost eliminated several of our brothers a few years ago, Matriarch..."

"We still haven't recovered since then." Another of them, a woman, added.

"Oh? She did that?" Gloria's mother asked with a smile on her face. "From your tone, it sounds like you are unhappy about it. Should I change the person in charge of this region?"

No one dared to say anything after she asked that. Obviously, they did not want a person involved with Minos leading the Church in the region!

But what could they do? Talk badly about their bosses? Interfere in the affairs of people several levels above them?

Madness!

Even more so considering that the beliefs of the Spiritual Church were that one who speaks ill of others behind their backs does not deserve respect. And since Gloria had not done anything outside the rules, they would not dare say a single word.

The old man from before replied after a while. "We don't dare question the decisions of our superiors. It is only up to Archbishop Frost's superiors to decide on that."

"Hmm," Margot laughed, satisfied that these people had not answered her test wrong.

"Well, take me to the communication array. I need to use it."

"Please..." One of them showed one of his hands and then asked. "What should I call you, Matriarch?"

"Matriarch Frost."

Those people's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as they realized that perhaps they had escaped a turbulent storm by keeping their thoughts in check.

"That... If you don't bother to answer, what is your relationship to Archbishop Frost?" A woman there asked.

"I am her mother."

"Her mother!" They simultaneously shouted, sensing that there was no salvation for the region.

They would all come under the cruel clutches of Minos and should get used to even the possibility of taking orders from him...

'What a terrible thing!'

'That can only be the devil's plan! How could a person as bad as he was lucky enough to get involved with a powerful family in the Church?' The old man, one of the few old members of this post, wondered, looking up to the skies with a look of injustice.

"Oh? Spiritual Emperor?" Margot turned around as she noticed a large number of people approaching her location.

She was already finishing climbing the steps to the entrance of this temple, but after sensing a Spiritual Emperor among those people, she wondered if this was an enemy of Minos or not.

"What do you people want by coming to my church temple?" She asked as she looked in the direction of the young Spiritual King, who had a crown on his head.

"Matriarch!" Raynard bowed his head and gave a greeting.

"We sensed your presence and came to receive the illustrious one!" He said, relieved that this was someone from the Church and not an enemy of Minos.

"Is that so? And who are you?" she looked at Diana. "Where do you come from? From the Black Plain?"

Upon hearing that last question, Diana felt disgusted and promptly denied it. "I am not from that cursed place, Matriarch. I am a member of the Brown family, a disciple of the Holy Sect. I am here visiting my family."

"Oh? So, that's it? Well, that's okay..." She turned to walk back to her destination.

"Matriarch, may I ask if we can expect any help from the Church in dealing with the invaders? We are in danger of extermination." The Queen Mother asked.

"Invaders?"

The king explained to that woman. "Yes, there are thousands of them on our borders. We don't know what might happen, but they are strong enough to destroy us and end the peace in the region."

"On your borders? I just passed through there, and there is no one else. I believe the forces of the brat Minos eliminated these people, so you should not worry." She commented. "Although he is annoying, he is a talented Spiritual Emperor."

"Spiritual Emperor?"

"No more enemies?"

"How is that possible?" Several people in the surrounding area asked different questions about that white-haired woman's speech.

'Irritating?' Diana watched that woman with hope in her eyes, sensing that perhaps the Church's superiors did not like Minos.

"Matriarch, has he been injured? Then, the region can hope for some good news regarding liberation..."

"Diana!" Raynard shouted his older sister's name, feeling that she should not wish Minos' harm aloud.

"Oh? You don't like Minos?" Margot asked interestedly.

Seeing the nod of that young brown-haired Spiritual Emperor, Margot laughed and said. "Don't worry. I have the impression that Minos won't be around for long."

Several people looked at each other in incomprehension, trying to guess the situation.

As for Diana, she was more hopeful about the regional liberation and the resolution of her demons.

...

Meanwhile, Minos had gone to his office along with the upper echelon of his forces to discuss the results of the previous day's battle.

At this point, his forces had already accounted for all the spatial rings and numbers relating to those involved in the conflict.

With this, Minos and his group were getting the necessary updates, understanding the current situation of the local forces to know better what to do next.

They still did not know what might happen, but for now, the expectation was that more enemies would come from outside the region to cause them trouble.

Thus, they had to prepare themselves to give timely responses to potential new enemies, planning the local defenses for the chaotic future of this region.

"Your Grace, the soldiers, vassals, and allies involved in the operation to destroy the invaders are relatively well." One soldier commented as he stood in front of Minos. "The many wounded will recover with the help of the doctors, in particular, the help of the butler Dillian."

"As for the 50 dead, we are already looking after the families for them to receive those people's parts from the battle prizes and their belongings."

"Finally, with the loot results, we will be able to pay for all the mission costs and still nurture thousands of Spiritual Kings."
