The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 59: Attacking the Yellow City 1

The sun completely disappeared on the horizon, and it was time to start the mission against the bandits of the Yellow City!

In one of the two entrances of the city, about 30 bandits were watching the place while they talked and drank. In that place, there was a two-story building, which served as a checkpoint for those arriving in the city.

However, the third and fourth group of Minos had not passed through any of the official entrances to the Yellow City. This city had a considerable area, and the bandits could not check all locations in the city. So, Minos and his two teams entered through unattended regions to attract unwanted attention.

At the same time, the two groups responsible for attacking the bandits located at the west and east entrance were already properly camouflaged in those points.

Meanwhile, at one of the entrances to the city, the criminals were quietly passing the time, as they usually did on any other day, since they took command of this town.

"Hey, Don! Don! Wake up, man, you're always asleep when we're on duty." One of the bandits complained to a companion sitting on a sofa inside the control building.

"Haha, Oliver, don't worry about it. This guy has always been like this, but it won't make a difference whether he's awake or not." Another thug, holding a bottle of alcohol, said it out loud, smiling.

Meanwhile, the ten soldiers of Minos, who were charged with attacking this post, slowly began to move towards the enemy group.

"Guys, the enemy group has 30 cultivators. Of them, only six are in the 5th stage. They are at levels 40 and 41. The others are all between levels 34 and 38. We will attack them quickly, without giving space for them to join against us." Said one of the soldiers, who was at level 40.

"Okay, whoever succeeds, help your teammates to finish the enemies faster. This will increase our speed. Let's start!" Another soldier said he was one of the sergeant ranks in this group.

It didn't take long, and the group began the attack on that checkpoint.

At that moment, about eight bandits were making the rounds of the place outside the building. When they saw the group of 10 people slowly approaching them, a bandit said out loud.

"You guys, standing there! It is not allowed to enter or leave the Yellow City at night!"

However, when he expected the group of 10 people to stop their movements, the sharp side of a war hammer quickly approached his head.

Seeing this, the bandit frowned and tried to defend himself against this sudden attack.

"Ahh!"

At the same time, another bandit screamed when he felt a sharp spear going through his belly! 'Damn it! How can this guy be so fast?' The bandit thought as he started to vomit large amounts of blood.

Quickly, the sounds of battle could be heard outside the building while Minos' 10 soldiers massacred their enemies.

Almost at the same time, one of the bandits who was drinking quietly in one of the rooms in that place abruptly got up from his chair and said it aloud.

"Did you hear that sound? It looks like there's something wrong going on out there." He said while having a strange look on his face.

Another thug in the same room gave a big laugh and said. "Haha, did some fools decide to challenge us? Hmph, but that is a good thing. Since we took this city, we have never had a good fight!"

"Dexter, go see what's going on." Another thug said while looking at the man who was smiling.

"Alright, boss."

"I will see that too! We haven't had any entertainment in this place for a while!" Other thugs said as they started to follow in Dexter's footsteps.

However, even before they left the building, the group slowly started to look paler. The moment Dexter passed through the exit door, a powerful attack swept over his neck, giving to the unprepared Dexter no time to defend himself!

Swooish!

Dexter's head was quickly separated from the rest of his body. Instantly, blood started pouring down Dexter's neck while his head spun in the air, toward the ground.

Dexter didn't even see what killed him!

Seeing this, all the men who were about to leave the building took steps back. What had happened shocked them deeply, to the point that someone could hear the heartbeat of some of them loudly!

Not only that, when they looked more closely at the exit door, they could see several bodies lying on the floor of that street!

"Enemy attack!!" Someone shouted with all his breath.

It did not take long, and more than 15 criminals appeared quickly, heading towards the ten soldiers of Minos, who were at the entrance to the building.

One of these bandits, who had already reached level 40, asked with an ugly expression on his face. "Who are you? Why are you attacking us? Do you think our group cannot handle a small group like yours?"

"Hmph, dead people don't need to know anything!" One of the soldiers snorted coldly as he activated his attack technique against the enemy.

"You wretches, all of you will be killed when our reinforcements come!" Another thug brandished loudly.

Boom!

It didn't take long, and an intense battle broke out at this checkpoint, leaving several mutilated bodies with each passing second. At the same time, all the other bandits that remained in this building came to join the fight.

Zum!

"Ahhh!"

"Use all your strength and kill those bastards!" The bandit leader shouted hoarsely.

Whoosh!

However, shortly after that, a blade of air sliced ??towards him. 'Damn it! I won't be able to dodge.' He thought while preparing to activate his defensive technique with everything he could.

Clang!

"Ahhh!"

The attack collided with the man's arms, slicing through his flesh and stopping at his bones.

He barely managed to defend himself!

"How can this be? I am obviously stronger than these people!" He murmured while he had a trickle of blood on his lips.

By that time, Minos' soldier group had already killed more than 20 bandits when the leader of the enemy band was finally killed on the spot.

'It can't be. The boss died!' One of the subordinates thought as he defended himself from the attacks that were coming his way.

"Please don't kill me. I will surrender!" One of them said in a weak voice.

"I'm sorry, but for the sake of our force, all of you must die!" A soldier said, cutting towards the bandit's neck that had asked for mercy.

He was just following Minos' orders, not to leave any enemies alive!

As to why Minos had ordered that to be done, well, it was quite simple. If one of these bandits escaped or were released, he would likely bring problems to the Black Plain sooner or later. And at that point, the region governed by Minos was unable to face certain opponents, and because of that, they would not be taking unnecessary risks.

As for the alternative ways of keeping these criminals silent, there were only two possibilities beyond death. One was slavery, and the other was the prison. For the first, Minos was completely opposed to enslaving people, even if they were scum from society. As for the second, Minos did not have enough structure or personnel to do so.

The Black Plain needed all the people it had today to make things work well. So, Minos had no interest in sacrificing part of his people for the sake of criminals. From his perspective, these people should understand that their activities would kill them at some point, so he had no pity.

After a few more minutes, the entire group of bandits, who were responsible for that entrance, was wiped out. Minos' soldiers also took the opportunity and taken all the valuables that those people had with themselves.

Minos had previously said that, apart from the techniques of Black-grade, everything else could be divided among the group of soldiers who were attacking those posts.

"We are going towards the center of the city. The other groups are likely to be almost done with their attacks. Come on." One of the soldiers at level 40 said after the group finished collecting the enemy's items.

...

At the same time, when that entrance to the city was being attacked, the same was happening on the other side of the town. At that point, the fight was even more agitated since there were many opponents.

However, Minos' group of soldiers still prevailed and defeated the bandits after almost half an hour of fighting.

Of course, the advantage of the opponents' numbers did not have much effect against the soldiers of the Black Plain Army. That's because they all used Black-grade techniques, while the bandits rarely had a single one like that!

Because of this, even though they had to work harder than the attack group at the other entrance, they still managed to win a good victory!

After that, it didn't take long, and the group from this entrance also headed towards the central part of the Yellow City, where the two main battles were taking place.
