Chapter 995 The End Of Four Great Families
One weekter...
The war still continued around the ck in. Yet, with each passing day, more enemy troops were leaving this territory, heading back to their respective states.
At this point, all the major regional organizations already knew about the situation of several royal houses regarding the ck in. And with that in mind, the surviving leaders of these families and institutions could not continue to bankroll the war.
No, that would be like betting on the losing horse!
So even if some forces still wished to fight Minos, the situation was bing unfeasible even for them as most of the regional powers no longer wanted to fight.
In this way, the ck in Army was about to achieve total dominance over this territory, something they had not had for years!
At the same time, the battles north of the Cromwell Kingdom and south of the Kingdom of the Waves were finally calming down, little by little making room for the consolidation of rebellions in these areas.
But while all this had developed since the Red ughter and Thomas'' death, the Snow, Walker, and Stone families had acted vigorously in this period!
...
The central office of the headquarters of the ck in Army.<sub></sub>
In this workce of young Stuart''s, he was sittingfortably in his leather armchair, face to face with old Joey and Abby.
Joey still looked as old as ever, but Minos could see this man''s vitality showing signs that it would soon improve, something that was expected, considering that he was already at level 49.
And considering the current situation of the ck in, close to victory in the war, that fellow could not help but look better than ever, in good spirits for the future.
"Young master, the Snow family has aplished their mission." The hairs on Joey''s white beard twitched amidst hisment as he looked and smiled at Minos.
"Oh? Are they already returning to their state?" Minos asked about that, not surprised by the other information about the Snows.
"Yes. After acting against the Silva family in the Red Valley a few days ago, they finally left the Brown Kingdom to return to their state."
"I see... That''s better." Minosmented in a low voice, feeling satisfied that the Silva family had finally been eliminated.
Following his earlier order, the Snow Kingdom forces that were previously on the ck in moved on to seek the lives of the nobles of House Silva.
With such strength on their side and the Silva family in its most vulnerable state in history, the Snows had no trouble eliminating every single noble of that family.<sub> </sub>
They had eliminated all the stronger cultivators previously subordinates of that power. But on the other hand, even that family''s crystals, cultivation resources, and spiritual techniques were all looted and sent to Dry City.
With that, even if some weaker subordinates survived the Great Red Valley Siege, it would be impossible for them to try to rebuild that family.
They did not have the blood, the crystals, the techniques, the resources, the territory, etc. They had nothing but their lives, which were also not valuablepared to the forces that had destroyed them.
Hence, Minos'' issues with that family had finally been resolved!
As far as this young man knew, there were no more descendants of the Silva family in the ming Empire since they had alle at Thomas'' call. And since Minos'' group had eliminated almost all the reinforcements from that kingdom, the Silva bloodline had finally disappeared from the Spiritual World!
Knowing this, Minos was feeling a little better since this family would no longer bother him from now on.
"Well, the Red Valley previously was supposed to belong to my father, so it''s nothing but fair if that territory merges into the ck in, right?" He smiled at those two, interested in that area of the Brown Kingdom, which was one of the best in this state before all the recent changes in the ck in.
Hearing that, Abby smiled at her fiancé as she had expected him toment on something like that.
As for Joey, he knew about Minos'' expansionist ideas, but he was curious about how they would proceed with it.<sub> </sub>
After all, the Red Valley was rtively far from the ck in. Unless Minos intended to ''digest'' half of the Brown Kingdom, then he did not understand how that territory would join the rest of young Stuart''s state.
"Will the Red Valley be a separate province from the rest of the ck in?" He asked in doubt.
Minos then replied. "No, that would be too problematic defensively."
"My idea is to absorb much of the northern border of the Cromwell Kingdom, going from the Red Valley region to the Farnd and Hadria region."
"At the same time, we will absorb the southernmost part of the territory of the Brown Kingdom. This one, in most part, represents the Red Valley and the region where the Parkinson, Austin, and Gill families were previously."
"We will take back the territories of our subordinates." He smiled, already imagining howrge his territory would be at the end of the war.
Before the ck in''s War of Independence, young Stuart''s territory was only 200,000 square kilometers in area. But the Red Valley alone was already more extensive than that!
And considering the territories in rebellion south of the Kingdom of the Waves, north of the Cromwell Kingdom, and this idea of his, the ck in could quickly multiply its area by 6!
Not only that, unlike the ck in, which previously had virtually no poption living in it, these territories all had vast poptions!
As such, Minos was quite excited about reshaping the regional borders!
"So that''s how it is..." Joey understood Minos'' idea as he imagined the current map of that region. ''If this truly happens, the Brown Kingdom will be the only state in the region without ess to the sea and reduce to an area about 60% of the current one.''
''The poption loss should also be in the range of 20-30%.''
''The young master is truly ruthless...'' He smiled, imagining the expression of the people in the Brown family when they found out about this.
Minos then looked at Abby and said. "Unfortunately, your family''s territory is far from that area I intend to absorb."
"But don''t worry about that. House Miller will have a good ce within the ck in in the future."
Abby smiled at him as if to say that this was not important. She was already more than happy with the state of her family currently. So, the territory she had grown up in was unimportant.
On the other hand, the future dense spiritual energy of the ck in would not reach ces too far from Dry City, like the old territory of House Miller. So, the very fact that her family could not return to that ce was already perfect for them!
"Even if my family doesn''t have a territory, we will already be very well off in Dry City..." Shemented in a soft tone before finally talking about the issue she had to deal with at the moment. "But changing the subject, not only the Snow family has done as promised."
"The Stone family forces split into two groups a few weeks ago to deal with the situation in the Kingdom of the Waves and the Cromwell Kingdom."
"One of them joined the Walker family to annihte the Reid and Collins families. On the other hand, the other joined the Nash family alliance and the rebels of the Cromwell Kingdom to exterminate the remnants of the Allen family and the Farnd families."
"I received the information from Lorelei Stone earlier today." She looked at Minos with a meaningful smile, pausing briefly. "All those families have been wiped out."
Hearing those sweet words, Minos rxed in his armchair, feeling good that so many of his enemies and worries of the past decade had been dealt with at once.
At their current level, these families were no longer great things. But theirbined power could definitely cause problems for the ck in. After all, he could not be in more than one ce simultaneously, and revenge-crazed people would do absurd things to harm their targets.
Knowing about the resolution of these problems was music to this sovereign''s ears!
"Very good!"
