Chapter 2892 Back in Command

Viewing the mountainous area where the guild's headquarters in Uzira was hidden, Minos took a calming breath, seeing that the chaos of the war on the continent had not reached this area.

The place, once dominated by bare rock and almost no vegetation, was exactly as he had left it, save for the few signs of observation points in the surrounding area. But these were places that only someone with his sensory and analytical skills would be able to understand as observation areas and the position of spatial formations. Overall, the entire rocky area was pristine, with no signs that the area had been discovered by enemy forces as being home to Armhands.

Minos led his group, opening a special rift without even waiting to reach the entrance to the area. He led his companions through the space, immediately finishing the journey to the guild post in Uzira, crossing the space and arriving at the entrance area of this secret post.

The moment a group of over two dozen cultivators arrived in the area, the guards inside that rock where Minos had built this post moved into alert. But when they felt his aura and saw the symbols that several of the newcomers had on their foreheads, the men on guard immediately stopped, their faces showing their recognition.

"Members of the guild?"

"Commander Minos!" Shouted one of the men who already knew Minos, one of the few there who could say he knew this guy.

After Minos' years of absence, the post had grown, gaining members not only from Oqia but also many residents of Uzira. Consequently, most of the people there didn't know Minos, nor his wives, nor some of the travelers who came with him on this journey.

Unlike the outpost of Oqia, where the Hell Lifelings were the majority in terms of high-level guards, this was not the case in Uzira. There were hundreds of Hell Lifelings at the guild's local post, but most of them were on duties other than guarding its headquarters. The vast majority of the guards on standby were newcomers who had joined the guild in the last 20 years.

The arrival of high-level Supremes at the headquarters was unusual. Even realizing that this was a friendly group, the guards used their devices, alerting the local higher-ups.

Less than five minutes after arriving there, Minos spotted the old First Elder Juma, alongside several other old acquaintances of his from both Oqia and Uzira.

"Supreme Leader, it's good to have you back at our post." Juma said as he greeted Minos in the appropriate manner, while Navey and the others repeated the gesture in silence, looking at Minos and his group curiously.

Minos scanned each of these Elders, most of them still with the same cultivation as when he last saw them, but some were a level stronger.

Cultivation was really slow for 12th stage experts, so Minos didn't pay much attention to that alone. Ile greeted the leaders in the area, getting straight to the point.

"How's the situation with the guild in Uzira? I hear there's a war going on between the rebels and members of the royalty." He walked ahead of the group, heading towards the command headquarters.

The group of specialists accompanied him, along with his own staff. Juma said on the way to the leadership, "There really is a war going on. I believe that the rebels have miscalculated the difference between themselves and the royalty, which has brought us to the current situation. The war is close to being over, but there is no guaranteed winner. Both sides have suffered a lot in recent years and each recent battle counts for a lot.

Mylecent is preparing for new battles against. Eternal Death and the Celestials of Uzira, but she's much more daring than she can trust."

"She's in Uzira?" Abby asked, unable to believe something so absurd.

"Supposedly, yes." Juma didn't understand Abby's tone.

Minos shook his head and said, "That's very unlikely. There's an extremely interesting opportunity in Hell right now. Mylecent and Eternal Death should be focused on Hell and not Uzira right now."

Juma's expression changed, hearing this for the first time. "Could it be that we're not really up to date on their position?"

"But there is news that Celestials from the royal forces are preparing. Some are moving in pursuit of Mylecent." Said one of the Elders.

"This could be some kind of investigation or move to throw off our forces..." Abby commented. "Most likely, Mylecent and Eternal Death are in Hell and will face each other there. It's possible that they'll move here and fight on the continent, or even come the more important battles they're planning. But it's very unlikely that they'll be on the continent."

Minos and his women understood very well what the opportunity in Hell represented! Abby's 'end' as a Devil had left many domains free. A war between not only the stronger Devils but also the weaker ones should now be taking place to determine who would get which part of her old territory. Not only that, with such a big confrontation aimed at the vast territory that previously belonged to her, other naturally interesting and disputed areas in Hell might be more accessible to weaker Devils.

So it would be very bad for anyone related to Hell not to be in it at the moment, while letting this information slip, the Hell could also be bad for those in dispute. Minos said, "We'll look into this matter later and plan an action. But before that, we need to contact the rebels and find those who can really answer our questions."

"We can get ahead of that." Juma said, feeling his blood run hot as he thought about how Minos could quickly resolve the conflict on the continent.

Minos nodded in authorization for them to sort it out just before the large group of them entered the command post area, where he had previously used as his home during the construction of the area. There, Minos entered his old room and sat down, leaving his companions to settle in the surrounding area or stand around waiting for his orders.

Looking at the place and the people who had accompanied them there, Minos couldn't help but smile when he saw Lily, Oswald and the late Isabella's mother, Madeline. They and other family members were in this outpost of Uzira, each of them even stronger than he had expected, compared to the relatives he had left behind in Oqia or brought with him.

'Lily has reached level 115... Very good. He smiled at his daughter, before seeing someone else, an old acquaintance of his.

'Maximillian... Minos saw this level 114 man along with Oswald, Madeline and Lily, and couldn't help but remember his long history with this individual.

Maximillian had come far on his journey and had become very powerful, considering that he wasn't even part of Minos' faction.

Minos looked at him for a moment, but didn't want to think about their past problems.

He just nodded to the guy who had betrayed him once in the past and continued with what he had in mind for his last journey to Uzira. "Well, before I move with the rebels, there are a few matters I have to deal with you administratively." His eyes passed over several of those individuals who had already been at the local post before today, before resting on Navey.
