Chapter 141: Impending Battle

The space around the three quickly vibrated when they were back at the mansion in the Dry City, where Minos had left previously. Upon noticing the different place that she was, Emlyn immediately probed her surroundings while seeing that place for the first time. Minos had left his own private courtyard, where there was no one else. The fox asked with a doubtful tone. "Eh? I don't know this place. Where are we?" She had never left the Spatial Kingdom since the events of the Yellow City had happened. Minos did not want her to expose herself since she would undoubtedly draw a lot of attention wherever she went. She also didn't mind staying in one place for that long since that place was really what she wanted for herself. Besides, the Dry City was not that interesting to make a nine-tailed fox eager to get out. Anyway, she had never seen the young Stuart's territory for all this time. The butler Dillian looked at her and replied with a smile on his face. "This is the young master's courtyard, within his territory." "Hmm, you can talk later, but now we have to hurry up. First, Emlyn, I want you to keep yourself hidden. If we need to, help us. Otherwise, you don't have to do anything. When we're done, I'll take you back to the Spatial Kingdom." "Grandpa Dillian is coming with me. Maybe some soldiers need medical help." Minos said in a serious tone. This was the first test of its kind for the Dry City. Today, they would have the first time of many to defend this territory. It was inevitable that other situations like this would happen in the future. So, they had to do very well today. After all, this can be excellent military training for the soldiers of the Black Plain Army. Getting used to the possibility of an invasion and being prepared to respond to it quickly and decisively was what could give them the advantage. With that, the young Stuart took this moment very seriously! After this, the two men proceeded to the front of the mansion. There were already hundreds of men and women in uniforms with a similar model. At the same time, the big fox was moving fast while she tried to keep herself hidden as much as possible. She was finding this very amusing since there was not much to do in the Spatial Kingdom. Finally, Minos and Dillian arrived in front of the mansion. The two soon moved on, seeing the crowd outside when the young sovereign said. "We don't know what the level of the threat is, but in any case, those who are below level 40 should return to their services." "The rest will follow with the butler Dillian and me, towards where the warning sign came from!" Minos said in a loud and resolute voice. Currently, there were already about 140 soldiers who had reached the 5th stage of cultivation, some of whom were even at level 41! Regardless of what the enemy force was, if this group were not enough, it wouldn't make any difference to take the other soldiers below level 40. Upon hearing Minos' orders, more than two-thirds of the people who were there left the site, leaving only those with the rank of Sergeant behind. "You heard the young master! Come on! Death to our enemies!" Soon, some of the most influential soldiers began to motivate the other army members while already following Minos and Dillian's footsteps towards the exit of the city, from where the audible warning had come. ... As they ran towards their destination, several people on the Dry City streets were already commenting on what could be happening. "Eh? Why are so many soldiers following the young master?" "Maybe it's some training." Someone responded without caring much about it. "No, I have lived here since the young master took over the city, but I've never seen anything like this before! I think something has happened." "Hehe, old man, shall we take a look?" The man just turned his head in denial, going back to his duties. The current strength of the Black Plain Army was quite formidable. He didn't think it was worth going to see this fight... 'I have a lot of bills to pay. I won't waste my time seeing some idiot defying Mister Minos!' He thought as he went back to his business. ... At the same time, at the spot where the soldiers had sent the beep earlier, the carriage of the three members of the Silva family finally arrived at the identification stop. Upon seeing this, the person responsible for that place, a soldier who had already reached level 40, immediately realized the strength of these people. 'Hell! Two at level 48, and this woman is already at level 49!' This soldier had never seen such strong people in his life! 'Shit! With that, all I can do is try to wrap them up a little...' The carriage suddenly stopped at the side of the control building next to the entrance gate, and one of the three asked. "Hey! What happened in that place?" "Welcome to the Dry City, miss, gentlemen. Eh, if you want to know, I'm afraid it's a long story if you don't mind me..." While trying to start the conversation, the soldier was suddenly interrupted when the woman in the group said nonchalantly. "Stop asking unnecessary questions, Austin. That person clearly wants to hold us here." "It makes no difference. Even if they have help, there is no way this place can threaten us..." The blond-haired man smiled and then continued. "But since Miss Sarah wants to get this over with quickly, then let's go!" After saying this, Austin forced his spiritual pressure on the soldiers around them. He then ordered the spiritual beasts to continue moving forward. There was no need for them to worry about this patrol group. There was only one person at level 40 in that place, while everyone else was only between levels 35 and 39. "Ahh!" At the same time, shouts sounded as the carriage was beginning to enter the inner area. Most of the soldiers had passed out, while some were panting. The previous pressure was often greater than they could handle, so most of them couldn't take it. 'Shit, the pressure of someone at level 48 is terrible!' After all, this level had more than three times the amount of energy of someone at level 40, like this soldier supervising this place. ... Finally, while going to the part protected by the walls, shortly after passing through the entrance, the three members of the Silva family saw the silhouette of the Dry City. "I do not believe that!" The oldest man in the group said in astonishment. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. There were things in life that someone would only believe in selling. However, even seeing certain actions, many people could still refuse to accept them! This happened when an event was just too absurd! And what the trio was seeing at the moment was precisely the definition of absurdity. The Dry City looked nothing like what it should be. Despite its small area, the place appeared to be very well developed, with many tall buildings, many trees in the streets, and several notable buildings. And even though the group was still seeing it from a distance, it was something that they could very easily notice, given the level at which they were. As the level increased, the cultivators' senses also improved. As a result, sight, smell, touch, hearing, and taste improved with an individual's level of cultivation. And with the strength that the three had already achieved, they could easily see the details of the Dry City from a distance! "This... This can't be! How did this place grow to this level? " Sarah asked in an incredulous tone as she got out of her carriage and looked at the city in front of them. They could already feel that there were several arrays in operation in that place. Clearly, this town was in bloom, and nothing they knew about the Black Plain was right! While they were shocked by the place in front of them, a group of dozens of people finally appeared, running towards where the three were. "It looks like they already know we're here..." Dennis said in a low voice. He had not yet recovered from the previous shock. "Miss Sarah, we'd better be careful. The middle-aged man who leads the way is already at level 48!" Sarah then shook her head in denial, putting her confused thoughts aside. "Don't worry. I know that man. He is not a warrior. He is just a doctor." "Hehehe, it looks like the butler Dillian has improved his level a lot..." Austin said with a smile on his face. "We will torture him until we find out what happened in this place." At this point, the two groups finally stopped in front of each other when Minos finally took a step forward. "Members of the Silva family, huh..."
