The Rise of the Black Plain-Novel

Chapter 646: The Confrontation on Stone Island

A day passed...

Meanwhile, many things had happened on Stone Island during the attack against the Black Plain Army base by the Collins family forces.

In those hours that had passed since the beginning of that attack, the Allen family and their allies had attacked the Nash family in an attempt to break Elen's operations and the force behind that base all at once!

Hence, a major battle had taken place on Stone Island, in the capital of this state, and several other cities.

And in those battles, the Allen family and their external and internal allies had demonstrated great power, eliminating many members of their enemy organizations.

Such a thing had been so shocking that almost 20% of the Stone Island Spiritual Kings had died in this great confrontation, with more than half of those numbers representing Elen's allies!

However, even though Elen's alliance had lost this great confrontation, the war was not over!

During this incident, for the first two hours, the alliance formed by the Allen family had put a lot of pressure on the Elen's side, that such a battle seemed to be one-sided.

However, after two hours of confrontation, all of a sudden, all the Spiritual Kings from the Farmland region had abandoned the House Allen group...

Because of this, instead of being massacred, the Nash family's allied group had persevered and survived, even taking out many of the Allen family's forces!

But by the end of the battle, Elen's side was definitely at a disadvantage. Although they had driven back their enemies, they had lost!

...

"Shit! Shit! Shit!"

"How could this have happened? Was the group sent by the Collins family really annihilated?" Duncan Allen asked in a disturbed manner as he used one of his hands to press a wound on his right chest.

After they had retreated from the battlefield, the leaders of this organization had discovered why their precious allies had fled in the middle of the fighting...

The attack on that base had failed, and that group, which had 10 Spiritual Kings, commanded by someone of level 55, a respected expert in this region, had been wiped out by the enemies on that base!

Farmland noble families had been tasked with guarding that location, and the members of those organizations who had come to Stone Island to assist the Allen family were the first to learn about it.

So, when they found out that the power of the organization behind that base was much more compelling than they thought, the Farmland Spiritual Kings didn't hesitate to leave the Allen family's 'boat.'

The organization behind that base could send someone as strong as a Spiritual King at the end of the 6th stage of cultivation to watch over a place so remote and poor in spiritual energy...

What did this mean?

These people coming from Farmland couldn't be sure. Still, they had only imagined that such an organization might have enough power to exterminate all families of that farming region of the Cromwell Kingdom.

Therefore, they had decided to stay away from this confrontation between the Allen family and House Nash!

But although those people had found this out before the leaders of the Allen family, this organization didn't take long to get the same information.

Such a thing had taken longer to happen because they had greatly diminished their presence in the Central Continent in recent years due to the war against the Nash family. So, with fewer people to watch and pass this information on ahead, Duncan had only discovered this at the present moment.

Earlier, he had been furious that his allies had abandoned him in the middle of the confrontation, something that had resulted in several losses for his family. But it was undeniable that there was some joy in this man, as the Allen family had managed to strike a decisive blow to their opponents!

That's because even if the allies coming from the Cromwell Kingdom had left, the Allen family had already won the minimum to start pressuring the Nash family on their own.

But while Duncan Allen had hoped to resolve this war more quickly, this news had come to him, causing this man to almost lose consciousness due to the shock...

Anyway, upon hearing the patriarch's question, Rolf, the supreme elder, who had lost a hand during the previous confrontation, had a dark countenance on his face. "It seems we have completely erred in our strategy..."

"The power behind that place is too strong for us to fight against." He said in disgust, feeling a great sense of humiliation.

Previously they no longer wanted to risk going against the power of that base in fear of what might happen. After all, if they continually caused trouble, the other side might decide to march toward Stone Island and deal with them once and for all.

But they had the hope that a great noble family, such as the case of House Collins, the third strongest organization in the Kingdom of the Waves, could destroy that place at least temporarily.

By doing so, they hoped to eliminate the Nash family, resolve the war they were involved in, and, who knows, maybe take the position of Elen's family.

The organization behind that base could support Elen Nash, but if this woman and her entire family disappeared, would the other side seek revenge?

It was unusual for such a thing to happen in the Spiritual World unless there was some kind of deep feeling from one party towards the other. Otherwise, an ally would only fight for the other side if a Soul Contract existed.

In other words, if important allied people were still alive.

Otherwise, it would not be worth fighting and losing part of one's strength just to avenge a dead ally.

Because of that, the leaders of the Allen family had hoped to solve all these problems based on this common sense.

But unfortunately for them, when they were crushing the Nash family alliance, everything had changed for them...

"What are we going to do from now on?" Another elder of the Allen family who was with those two asked this in an exhausted tone.

The supreme elder then suggested. "I think we should get as far away from that naval base as possible, and we must try to take the chance to continue weakening the Nash family."

"The damage has already been done, and there is no sense in surrendering!"

"In that case, the only thing we can do is try to take advantage of the damage we've already done to the Nash's alliance."

Upon hearing that, the patriarch Duncan was quick to agree. "Indeed. If we hold back, we would just be killed easily by our enemies!"

"But that is not in our profile!"

"If we must perish, we will do so on our feet, fighting our enemies!"

"And since we're probably going to the underworld, we can at least bring those Nash family bastards with us!" He furiously said as he felt his head burning from his hatred for the organization behind that base.

Duncan, a powerful level 58 cultivator, had never been humiliated so many times in a row because of the same organization. Because of that, he was burning with hatred.

He just wouldn't leave his place to cause havoc in that base right now because what little rationality he had right now was enough to prevent him from doing so...

'Miserables! You've done great this time, but I'll take that little whore and her family down!'

...

Meanwhile, Elena and Elen were at the Nash family estate in Old Stone, saying goodbye to each other.

The two had participated in the previous battle. Still, both had only had superficial injuries, although their side was the loser in that confrontation.

However, even though Elen's alliance had suffered a mighty blow, her young friend Elena had to return to the Black Plain. And as much as she needed the help of this Black Plain Army Lieutenant, the same was true for Minos' forces...

Consequently, Elena couldn't stay here much longer.

"Well, it's a shame that uncle Richard lost an arm in that battle. But as long as you hold out for another year, I believe Minos will be able to settle this war." Elena said in a low voice as she hugged Elen.

"Tell him that Minos will probably be able to help him in the future to get that arm back..." She said vaguely.

"Do you think so?"

"Hmm, believe me, Dillian will one day become a grade-3 doctor. When that happens, he'll probably be able to regenerate lost parts of his patients' bodies."

"Hmm, I hope so..."

After saying that, the two separated and looked at each other for a moment.

Elena then said. "Well, see you in a few months..."

"See you!"
