"We will soon be at war with the Brown family, as they will not give up trying to exploit the Black Plain. As such, you can prepare yourselves for it, as there is now no turning back."
"However, we still have a few days or weeks left for that. And in the meantime, I intend to do two missions against our enemies."
"Oh? You mean the Silva family?" That level 55 Spiritual King asked while understanding Minos' intention. 'So, he wants to act against the Silvas first so that we will have fewer enemies in the future...'
Minos then nodded in agreement and continued speaking. "Yes, I want to try to take down at least some of the core members of the Silva family before the royal family sends troops into my territory."
"But I will not only act against that organization. I intend to act against the Chambers family in the next few days."
"Chambers family?" Everyone there said simultaneously, including Ruth, who remembered the scum who had tried to attack her and Minos because of the low-level grade-2 sword he had at that time.
Leroy had insulted this woman, saying he would enslave her and things like that, typical comments made by the people in that Cromwell Kingdom organization.
Hence, Ruth had not forgotten that person's last name, whom Minos had beheaded during the second test of the Spiritual Tournament previous edition.
As for the others in that room, part of them knew about Minos' alliance with the Hayes family, so it wasn't a big surprise to learn that he would act against the Chambers family. But they also didn't expect that young Stuart would do that at this time.
After all, the Brown Kingdom itself should have had enough trouble for all of them for a while... So, there was no need for this young man to throw even more fuel on the fire.
On the other hand, the two leaders of the Gill family were confused by this.
'Why does he want to get involved with those crazy people from the Chambers family? That will only bring a rabid dog to our doorstep!'
Meanwhile, Todd more or less understood the situation. 'Well, Minos already has an enmity with them, so it's only natural that he wants to eliminate them before organizations outside the Brown Kingdom find out about the Black Plain.'
Minos then declared. "The Chambers family has been at war against House Hayes for some time now. And as an ally of the Hayes family, it is in my interest that they win that conflict."
'Ally?'
"Oh?"
"However, the problems concerning this Chambers family are much deeper than you realize..." He said as he looked thoughtfully at the people in that place.
"Did you know that the Chambers family is the real mastermind behind the assassination of the second prince of the Snow Kingdom?"
"What? Are you serious?"
"It can't be... That would be crazy!"
"No, those damn Chambers are crazy enough!" Then, finally, the supreme elder of the Gill family said something, as the people in that place became emotional at the news given by Minos.
"Some small merchants in my Gill family have already had the displeasure of dealing with those Chambers. They are extremely arrogant and have an incredibly vicious vindictive culture."
"According to the rumors, even the royal family of the Cromwell Kingdom tries to keep their distance!"
"Nonsense! That doesn't make sense."
"The Cromwell family is one of the strongest in the region! So, why would they be afraid of a mere vassal?"
"Tsk!"
"I didn't say they are afraid of the Chambers family members. I just said that they are wary of that organization."
"It's not because the Chambers are stronger than they are, but because that family has powerful contacts that are even capable of harming royal families."
"Since the members of the Chambers family have always been vindictive, strong-tempered madmen, any problems they face are dealt extremely. At the very least, they handle their problems much more intensely than other regional organizations would handle them under the same circumstances."
"Plus, having such contacts, the chances of big problems unfolding when dealing with them are not small!"
"So, even the Cromwell family tries to keep their distance from them."
This supreme elder sat back in his seat as he finished saying this. At the same time, that Miller family elder standing there had a semblance of disagreement, but he didn't say anything else.
Minos then smiled. "Regardless of what you have said, I have already notified the Snow family about this matter. By now, they should have discovered evidence that gives value to my complaint."
"You did that, huh?" Ruth asked, realizing what her boyfriend was doing. 'He wants to create an even bigger conflict than the war of noble families in that state?'
'He's truly good at causing trouble for others...' She smiled, feeling a certain admiration for Minos.
"Young Minos, do you want House Snow to get involved in a war against the Chambers family?" Eliot asked.
"Not exactly..." He then smiled and said. "It would be nice if the Snow and Cromwell families were distanced before the news of the Black Plain left the Brown Kingdom."
"With that, more than half of the royal families in our region would have trouble sending troops here through the Counter-Revolutionary Statute."
"Oh?" Those old men in that office said simultaneously as they finally understood Minos' plan.
'So, he has notified the Snow family about the Chambers family so that this royal family act against a vassal family from another state. By doing so, he hopes to create a conflict between two royal families!'
'This young man is full of schemes... He is so young but already is creating chaos without even leaving his office.' So, patriarch Gill thought as he closed his eyes and felt the flames of the war in this region would grow even more extreme.
"Young Minos, I understand your goal of causing an even greater conflict in this region so that the Black Plain's war of independence would go more smoothly. But you said you wanted to act directly against this Chambers family."
"How will that help in all this?"
"I will help destabilize that family so that their connections with the Scourges of the Devil will no longer be a threat to the Hayes family. Also to make it easier the actions of House Snow."
"With that done, both of these families will have an easier time acting against the remnants of the Chambers..."
"On the other hand, the Cromwell family definitely follows the course of the Hayes' war with the Chambers. But realizing that from one hour to the next, the balance of the war has been lost, what do you think they will do?"
"They will investigate the matter."
"Exactly!"
"And with that, I'll let them find out that the Snow family was instrumental in the downfall of House Chambers."
"From then on, things will develop naturally." He spread his arms as he smiled, finishing his explanation to these allies of his.
This young man obviously had not explained all the details of how he intended to throw one royal family against the other. But just this summary of what he intended to do was already enough to show these people the reasons for his action and how the consequences of it would be beneficial to all of them.
'So, that's how it is...'
'Well, eliminating that Chambers family won't be bad. They have always been hated by most in our region, so if we think about it, that will be a good thing for 'everyone'...'
'But I'm still curious how the Scourges of the Devil will react to that...'
Those people there soon began to think about that matter as they fell silent.
But soon after standing there in silence for a while, the complaints they had to make to Minos had been dissolved, and they now had many things to do.
Since this young man had already decided to fight for the Black Plain, now they could only prepare their families for the worst, the war.
Therefore, it was not long before the nobles of the Gill and Miller families left Minos' office, leaving there only this sovereign, Ruth, and Todd.
"Todd, do you intend to give up your family's agreement with Minos?" Ruth asked, looking at the young man she had first met during the Spiritual Tournament.
Todd was quick to shake his head from side to side upon hearing this. "No, of course not, Miss Ruth. I came here for just the opposite!"
"I arrived last night in Dry City precisely to bring some of our experts to fulfill the previously negotiated agreement."
"As for the signing of the agreements, that can be done in the next few days, in Yellow City, just as agreed...."
