The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2589 Summerset Falls

Three weeks passed as Minos traveled with the two level 114 Sovereigns.

As promised by the Commander's right-hand man, the journey to Summerset Falls, a place near the Judgement Tower, should be uneventful. It was only from there that the journey would become complicated.

In fact, after 21 days of traveling, they passed through a quiet path after hiding from enemies and passing through a group of the guild's allies, a force called the Ebonbrows.

The Ebonbrows, along with Armhands, had started the war against the Firestone Mines when Minos attacked the enemy portal decades ago, giving it the justification to strike back at its opponents.

Since then, Ebonbrows had been a reliable ally of Armhands. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Minos and his two companions had no problem meeting their allies, not talking about their plans, but clarifying that they were going somewhere else.

Today, the group had arrived at Summerset Falls, a paradisiacal area in the central region of Oqia. Here, beautiful mountains and bodies of water spread out over hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.

From the outside, Summerset Falls looked like paradise. Combined with Zocarro's pink sky, which never went completely dark even at night, the crystal clear water in some places, colorful in others, surrounded by lush vegetation, would take anyone's breath away.

The only reason Minos and his companions weren't so mesmerized was that they had war, blood and death on their minds and were now too close to their enemies to be careless.

"We'll reach the Judgement Tower in four days' march at the most," said the Commander's most trusted man, the guild's General who was the closest to becoming a Supreme in the entire force.

It wasn't easy to become a Supreme. Rarely did the guild's Generals become Supremes at this degree, as the path to level 115 was so difficult that it usually required special resources.

Only when special opportunities arose outside of the guild, or when a change in the guild's power structure led the upper echelon to promote Generals more heavily, did these individuals improve their level while still in their positions. However, these opportunities were scarce, and it was only when there was a change of "chairs" within the Council that individuals in this position could advance.

For example, the current Commander of the guild was promoted to his position when he was a level 114 Sovereign. When he was promoted because of the previous Commander's promotion to Elder, that giant being received resources from the guild and reached level 115. Since then, he has advanced two levels and reached level 117 centuries ago.

This was the natural path for Generals, a path that the current Commander's trusted man didn't seem to be following.

Minos followed silently behind the other General, both aware of the position of the man in front of them, respectful of this man's methods.

He had told them it was best not to fly, not to show their auras, and to hide their presence as much as possible. They had done this to perfection while seeing the dangers of this paradise.

As beautiful as it was, it was also precarious. With so much energy and law concentrated, and various sentient plant beings, Summerset Falls was as perilous as hell itself.

The fact that this area was near the Judgement Tower, an enemy headquarters, only made matters worse. There were several observation formations and traps in the area. The slightest mistake and their enemies would surround them and ruin their mission.

Luckily for the group, Minos was alert, and his passive ability to sense the future helped them avoid disastrous steps.

After a while of walking silently through the forest, Minos warned his two companions of the lurking danger. "Let's circle the area. There's nothing good ahead."

For a moment, they forgot the sounds of moving water and the noises of the forest dwellers and stared silently at the seer of the group.

Just as Minos respected the leader of the group, this man had great respect for the human seer of the group. He agreed and took the long way to the Judgement Tower, avoiding another problem that would get them into trouble.

Meanwhile, the elder watching them couldn't help but comment on Minos' efficiency. The boy was so good that it seemed the old Supreme would not have to move.

'In my time, I didn't have the chance to have such a good subordinate... Tsk! You were lucky, Kaus.' The Elder smiled as he thought of the current Commander, his successor in leading the inner and outer wings of the guild.

The Elder looked in the direction of the Judgement Tower and moved a little closer, to where he could no longer go or he would alert the enemy Supremes.

'This is enough for me to observe their remaining path... Will this test work? A Supreme corpse… Will these three be able to withstand it? Or will the corpse turn against us and force me to act first?'

The elder felt his fingers itch, interested in the future prospects of his guild, depending on how things would turn out in a few days.

'If the outcome is favorable, it is possible for us to bring an end to this war without relying on our main pillars.'

Not having to use the Elders to deal with the Firestone Mines coalition would be incredible. If Minos succeeds today, he may have found the perfect solution to the current war, with the potential to give Armhands victory all by himself!

The level 118 Elder positioned himself to wait out the next few days, blinking his eyes and quickly watching the time fly by.

When you consider that he lived for over 300,000 years, four days would have been a mere blip in his existence.

Soon, Minos and his two companions approached the grand Judgement Tower. It standing tall and majestic against the horizon. Within its walls resided three Supremes, and a formidable gathering of a few thousand Sovereigns, loyal subjects!
