The Rise of the Black Plain

At this moment, the sunset could be seen on the horizon of Dry City, while Minos and Regina were in that same room as before.

They were covered by a thin silk sheet, which was utterly silver, as they rested their heads on pillows, both breathing hurriedly in that bed. Both of them were very sweaty, with their chests rising and falling in high frequency, at the same time as their eyes seemed to be seeing what was beyond the visible...

Anyone who saw them now would notice the lines at the corners of their eyes and mouths, which indicated they had both reached maximum satisfaction.

But despite the difference in levels between the two, they both looked equally exhausted. But this was simple to understand. After all, one was a warrior who used to push his body to the limit, while the other was just a person who didn't use her body in fights.

So, despite the difference in levels between the two, their physical stamina was not that different. And they had managed to reach their current state without either of them falling behind...

But of course, Minos' physical characteristics were still far behind compared to those of Regina's body. As such, he had had to work much harder here to keep up with this woman.

And hell, Regina was a beast in bed!

"That was a pleasant experience..." She murmured into Minos' side as she looked at him sideways with a satisfied expression on her beautiful face. "Anytime you want, just come here, and I'll be willing to repeat that anytime."

Minos then turned to Regina's side and looked at her face and then her beautiful pair of breasts. "Hmm, that was indeed amazing... Let's schedule another day to experience more of that, hehe."

He then used one of his hands to firmly grasp that woman's slender waist, bringing her closer to himself. "Looks like you've removed quite a weight from your shoulders, huh? I didn't think someone like you would behave in such a hot way in bed, hahaha..."

"How long has it been since you did something like that?"

"Tsk! Shut up!"

"My situation in Allamanda didn't allow me to take a casual risk just for something like that..." She said as she turned her face sideways and ignored Minos' question.

The young Stuart then tried to hold back his laughter and said. "I wonder... The way you were, it must have been like losing your virginity for the second time..."

"Go to hell, brat!" She brandished in anger as she turned her back on Minos, leaving a beautiful sight for this young man.

"Hahaha, but seriously, have you made up your mind about joining my army? I believe there is no more reason for you not to have made up your mind. So, I want to know right away what you will do from now on." He said as he massaged that woman's hind parts.

"Either you join my army, or you will continue living here as a normal citizen... So, what is your decision?"

With the presentation of his alliance with the Miller family to this woman, there really shouldn't be any more doubts left in her mind. After all, if she did not accept such an offer after so many advantages and assurances, then that could only mean that she would refuse such a thing.

Consequently, she already had to have an answer in mind!

And since time was running out for the peace of the Dry City, this young sovereign was eager to find out Regina's decision.

"Yes, I have made up my mind." She said in a low voice as she looked steadily at her bedroom window and saw the beautiful view there. "I will agree to join your army, provided that in addition to what was promised earlier, you help me with getting revenge on one person."

"Oh?" Minos made a sound of surprise. 'This woman will already gain so many possibilities with this deal... What more could she want?' He wondered as he waited for Regina's words.

She then continued to speak. "You may think I am a cold person, but even I have loved someone in the past. Unfortunately..." She paused briefly for a moment as she remembered her loss. "Unfortunately, my mistakes ultimately resulted in his death."

"I am aware that I was responsible for what happened to him, but still, I wish to take revenge on the person who killed him to hurt me!"

"I see... And who would that person be? Is it by any chance one of the kings of our region?"

"No, he is not a king, much less someone known in our region. He, in fact, is an elf who had been exiled from the Elves Island!" She said in an icy tone.

'Exiled from the Elves Island?' Minos thought to himself as he remembered the knowledge Henricus Longus had left for him. 'Only elves who are criminals or half-breeds are exiled  from such a place...'

Elves were extremely powerful beings, individuals born already with a certain level of spiritual power in their bodies. Of course, this could vary depending on the purity of their lineage. Still, in general, it was not uncommon for elves to be born between levels 5 and 10. Above that, only those considered geniuses could achieve such a thing.

But because of their above-average aptitude, many elves were highly arrogant. Some even had a certain degree of xenophobia towards beings from outside the Elves Island. But of course, as long as someone was powerful and talented, the elves would generally be more friendly, regardless of where that living being came from.

However, even in the case of talented people, most elves were opposed to one thing in particular... That was mixing the elven bloodline with beings of other species, creating half-breeds!

Such a thing was common to happen in the Divine Continent, where many beasts and high-level humans lived. However, the elves did not handle this kind of situation well.

Hence, it was common for half-breeds to be simply expelled from the island or even prevented from entering it.

So, Minos had thought about that information.

Anyway, after thinking about it for a moment, Minos finally asked something. "So... How long has it been since that happened? And what level was he at?"

"About 300 years and level 53."

"Then I refuse your request!"

Upon hearing this, Regina's eyes suddenly widened as she turned to look at Minos, already with an expression of surprise on her face. "What? Don't you want me in your army? Why don't you want to promise me that?"

Minos then closed his eyes and smiled. "Regina, what I am offering is already too good for you, don't be an ingrate."

"Plus, why do I have to take a chance against a half-elf? That was 300 years ago, so if this enemy of yours is talented enough, he may already be at the end of the 7th stage!"

"Then I won't promise you that since your value to the army is less than the cost to eliminate someone like that." He said without caring about Regina. "However, I can assure you that you can reach a point in the future where there will undoubtedly be a large number of people willing to assist you."

"So, you will agree to become part of my organization?"

"This..." Regina clenched her fists for a moment as she realized that there was nothing for her to try to use against Minos' earlier argument.

She didn't think that such a half-elf was already so strong. Still, since she knew almost nothing about elves or half-breeds, upon hearing Minos' words, she had understood that she might have underestimated the power of that being.

Obviously, she had never thought that she would have the chance to take revenge on such a being before. But upon finding out about Minos' strength and this young man's high-quality techniques, she had thought about it after realizing that she could no longer simply rob him...

And thinking of the many possibilities she would have by joining his army, she could no longer reject such an idea. "All right, I will join your army. But I hope you're not lying about it!"

"Hehe, that's good."

...

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 hours had passed since the moment Minos and Regina had finished that earlier conversation.

And just at this moment, early in the morning in this region, a large group of people had been approaching from the various sides of the Dry City....
