"Otis, long ti no see, huh? So, what brings you to my town today? Are you in any trouble?" Thomas Brown asked in a high tone while smiling at the leader of the Silva family.
After he said this, the people in the ellipse-shaped hall, so guards at the sides, and the king's assistants looked in the direction of the three individuals with the surna Silva.
Otis then stepped forward and said. "It is good to see you again, Your Majesty. It truly has been so ti since our last reunion..."
"But anyway, today I am here to seek justice for my Silva family!" He said this in a sincere tone as he swung his right forearm and clenched his fists tightly.
"Justice?" Thomas repeated this word in a curious tone, not understanding what was happening here. 'Otis Silva is crying out for help? That is the first ti I have seen such a thing...' He thought, looking steadily in the direction of those three Silvas.
King Brown certainly knew about basic information of all the organizations in this state, except for the newly created Black Plain Army, of course...
Regardless, it would be necessary for a king to know what his vassals do to prevent rebellions and ensure certain financial misdeanors do not happen. As such, any king would have spies around the most influential families and organizations, those that controlled a lot of crystals or warriors.
Because of this, Thomas knew very well about the departure of many Silva family guards from the Red Valley in the last four months. That is, even if the king didn't care so much about this kind of thing, it would be impossible for him not to pay attention to sothing that had been happening so often.
To give you an idea, in the past months, more than 12,000 Spiritual Generals and 15 Spiritual Kings had left the Red Valley and made their way to different regions of the Brown Kingdom!
And since such moves were only typical during tis of war, the royal family of this state was already keeping an eye on the Silva family's actions.
However, although they were paying attention to the most recent movents, no such thing had happened with the groups that made their way towards the Black Plain.
Or rather, the royal family had known about the departure of about 5,000 guards from the Red Valley at that ti. But since that had been the Silva family's first flashy movent, that organization did not know as much about that event as it does about the current troop movents of that noble family.
Hence, although they knew about the departure of 5,000 guards, the royal family, or rather King Brown, did not know what had happened to these individuals!
They could have been killed or left for other regions of the kingdom or even other states. The royal family didn't know because once those groups had entered the Black Plain, their information had disappeared...
As for the survivors, well, they had only reported what had happened to the Silva family's administration. So, Thomas did not know about this family's conflicts against the Black Plain Army.
King Brown then asked. "What happened?"
Otis then breathed the air deeply into his lungs before finally making his complaints. "Your Majesty, I am afraid to say that there may be cancer proliferating in the Brown Kingdom!"
Upon hearing this, none of those other people in that hall, not even the king, had interrupted this patriarch. But they had all looked at him in aningful ways, a little curious, a little apprehensive.
After all, having sothing like what patriarch Silva said there was in this kingdom would be synonymous with a lot of trouble for a state's royal family.
Otis then continued. "On the Black Plain, there is an unknown force that threatens the peace throughout the Brown Kingdom!"
'Black Plain?' The people in that place thought in their minds as they turned to look at each other.
"In that damn place, over 3,500 mbers of my family fell in front of the organization behind Dry City!"
"And not only did they eliminate those thousands of Spiritual Generals from my Silva family, but they also killed eight of our Spiritual Kings!"
"To tell you the truth, seven Spiritual Kings were killed by that organization that is in Dry City. But the eighth was killed by a group from the Gill family, an organization allied or subordinate to the power that is in that damned place." He said in anger as his face beca red just for rembering these misfortunes.
Ever since his son, Darell, had died, it was as if this man and the Silva family were sohow cursed.
The problems kept coming. More and more people from this family died trying to investigate the death of this young man. And each ti this happened, stronger and stronger people died.
Thus, in addition to being powerless to avenge his son's death, for which he had no idea who was responsible, this man lived a life of constant stress as a result of his family losses.
Not only that, with all the bad luck he was having, he was already beginning to believe that it wouldn't be long before he would face an ordeal himself!
In this way, Otis Silva couldn't help but be nervous when talking about this matter.
"Your Majesty, I admit I don't know much about the power behind that city. But the actions of that place are very suspicious, and they are already acting with a local noble family..."
"Not to ntion that they are hiding behind a set of defensive barriers that covers an entire city!"
"Who would invest in such a thing if they weren't intent on provoking the regional powers?"
"Anyway, I fear that the organization behind that damned place is preparing for a war against the entire kingdom!" He said as the veins from his neck and forehead beca more visible. "Please, Your Majesty, act while it is still early, or I fear that not only my Silva family will suffer from this cancer!"
After saying that, Otis Silva finished his nervous plea for help after quoting several of the fundantal things about that place.
Everything he had said demonstrated that the power behind Dry City was unfathomable regarding its origins and strength. Still, at the sa ti, its actions made its goals very clear.
Such a place was preparing to face so powerful opponent, or they wouldn't invest in a set of barriers that covered an entire city!
They would not try to subjugate noble families of this state if they had good intentions towards the royal family. After all, not even the Spiritual Church would try to make one of its branches subjugate a vassal family of another organization.
For all that, his speech presented all of the evidence that his family had provided to the king's group, which would be sufficient for the royal family to justify acting against Dry City.
"That..."
"The organization behind Dry City can truly do all that?"
"But that's not so strange... If they can afford a defensive do like that, hiring outside forces to deal with a group with so few Spiritual Generals, it's no big deal..."
Several comnts in low voices sounded through that place as the Generals of the Brown Kingdom's royal guard talked among themselves, in a tone that the three Silvas could not hear them.
But of course, General Silva knew what these people were talking about. After all, he was a mber of the royal guard, soone who knew about the current affairs of the Black Plain with the Brown Kingdom.
However, due to his distance from the leadership of the Silva family, this man did not know that his family's problems were related to that place. So, he was surprised by sothing different than the other royal guards.
'They didn't tell anything because they were afraid that this information would leak through ?' He wondered, feeling a little bad about it but at the sa ti understanding that sohow this made sense.
On the other hand, King Brown was looking at the patriarch Otis steadily, while he had an uncertain look on his face. 'That young man's forces truly are stronger than we expected...'
'But that, in a way, is within his possibilities. Or he wouldn't have even tried to ask for independence and generated the situation that made find out about that place...' So, he pondered as he suddenly associated one thing with the other.
'Or maybe he only did that on account of the Silva family finding him out?'
