After passing through Diamond Monkey territory, Lee's group had had the misfortune to stop to rest near a place where some members of this tribe were battling.

They knew that the Diamond Monkeys were very strong in this region and had avoided this territory of these beasts. But the area of such a tribe was not small, nor was it in a part where there were many different routes.

Because of this, their group had stopped to rest within that tribe's territory. But that had been almost at the edge of such an area. So, to have an idea, if one were to compare it, it would be the equivalent of being in the Maritime City concerning the core of the Black Plain, the Dry City.

For this reason, and because they had previously severely needed to make this stop, they had decided to rest in such a place.

But luck was not on their side, and Lee's group had been involved in a fight from that tribe.

"Those Diamond Monkeys are truly ridiculous!"

"We were just passing through, but they fought us as if we had deeply offended them." Lee complained, remembering that they would have taken an even worse beating if not for Peter's.

After being involved in the fight of some Diamond Monkeys, part of those individuals had directed their anger towards the two youths who stood in their way.

Since each of those individuals was of higher levels than those two and had massive bodies full of physical power, those two could not get out of that place without some marks.

Luckily Peter was stronger than those Diamond Monkeys and managed to get out of that place without more problems.

"Hahaha, you two take this very seriously," Peter said, smiling. "Before I joined the army, I traveled alone for several months..."

"At that time, I escaped death several times. Some wild beasts even beat me on more than one occasion."

"And you were not angry?" Alison asked.

"Of course!"

"I was angry and also fearful as soon as it happened. After all, losing to a spiritual beast is quite dangerous, since some of them see us as food, just as we see some of them the same way."

"But luckily, I managed to escape, and after that, I didn't worry about possible revenge. Even though I could go out in search of them." He commented, talking about his experiences.

At the same time, that Feathered Serpent was listening to everything, agreeing and disagreeing with Peter in her mind. It then said. "The Diamond Monkeys are naturally very strong, competitive, and have rather, shall we say, active personalities..."

"They were fighting among themselves when you were seen. At that moment, they felt that not only were you trespassing on their territory, but you were also getting in their way."

"Because they felt that the strengths of you two were not so less than theirs, they decided to challenge you to test your power..." That serpent said, explaining why the two took a beating from those beasts.

"They are fighting fanatics!"

"In any case, Diamond Monkeys are among the most intelligent beasts in this region and are herbivores. So, it was unlikely that they would kill you two."

"They just wanted to challenge you to decide if you had the right to be in their territory. And if you had fought and won, maybe they would even become your friends!"

"They have great respect for individual strength, no matter what race."

"Did you see how they reacted when Peter and I joined you?" This serpent asked, turning its big head and looking at the people who were its top.

"Yes, they seemed to be despising us," Lee said while having an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Yes, because not only did you guys not beat them, but you needed outside help. They truly despise that..."

"But it's not our fault!"

"They were level 47 beasts. We can't fight beings with that much physical power..." Alison commented, lowering her head and looking at the colorful scales of that serpent.

"That's true..." Peter commented, feeling that these two didn't have a chance.

"Well, in any case, I advise you not to place too much value on this defeat. Diamond Monkeys are extremely vengeful creatures."

"Then you had better forget about a possible revenge." The serpent said this, advising those humans what to do.

"You should just worry about following young Minos' plans. Once you follow him obediently and don't cause trouble, you will have a very bright future."

"Hmm, we know..." The two said.

This serpent didn't know about the Spatial Kingdom, so it had no way of knowing that these two already had an idea of how talented Minos was and how far he could go. So she had given this unnecessary advice.

But obviously, Lee, Alison, and also Peter already knew said.

"By the way, I wonder how things are in Dry City. Do you think something might have happened in this period?" Alison asked, right after hearing that serpent talking about Minos.

During the period that their group was traveling, they had neither received nor sent communications to Dry City to avoid possible trouble.

They were traveling during a decisive period for the Black Plain. And since it would not be interesting if they were associated with that place, anything that jeopardized their origin had to be prevented.

So, they were in the dark about what might have happened on the Black Plain since they left that place, just after Minos reached level 50.

They knew of the army's plans and some things that would happen in the short term, but these things were not immutable. Maybe something would happen, and the plans would have to be changed, or something would happen off schedule.

So, they were curious about that.

Peter then said. "Well, by now, the Brown family probably knows about the changes in Dry City, and it won't be long before this develops into a conflict."

"So, I imagine that soon the war will be upon the Black Plain."

Hearing this, those two were somewhat concerned. Lee had an older brother and younger sister in that town. As for Alison, her parents were there as well. Because of this, they couldn't help but fear what would happen during their absence.

Realizing this, Peter soon comforted them. "Don't worry about your relatives."

"There are many Spiritual Kings in Dry City, and each of the soldiers in the Elite Squad will make a big difference in battles."

"Not to mention that we already have several allies supporting us."

"Hmmm." The two agreed without saying much, still worried about it.

"Anyway, you two should focus on the mission we are currently on."

"When we reach our destination, we have to make all the arrangements for the Black Plain to get the resources for the beast taming profession to be developed there."

"And we still have the problems of transporting the beasts we buy here, as well as other matters..." Peter vaguely said as he remembered Maxwell.

"We have too many problems to solve!"

After Peter finished saying that, it didn't take long, and those two focused their attention on what they could do at the moment.

They were already away from Dry City and had their responsibilities. So, while it was good to keep their families in mind, it would not help to worry more than necessary about that.

It would only hinder them in their mission and make no difference to the people in Dry City.

Hence, they focused on those matters that were within their power at the moment while quickly leaving behind that Diamond Monkey tribe territory.

...

While Lee's group continued their journey to the Snow Kingdom, the Counter-Revolutionary Army groups moved bit by bit in the Brown Kingdom.

Among them was the one that would go to the Maritime City, which contained a large part of the royal forces that were part of this army.

This army might have a single purpose, but the members of such a force were not equal. So, the direct subordinates of the local royalty had the privilege of moving towards a well-structured city rather than small villages or temporary camps.

So, this group was making its way to that place now, even though it was not yet complete.

"When will the supreme elder join us?" One of the royals in that group asked that while looking at the person in charge of that group at the moment.

"Mister London is very busy and will only join us once we have established ourselves in the four corners of the Black Plain. After that, he will join us to start the attacks against the rebel forces...."
