Chapter 1088 Albano''s lnvaders and the Sin of Minos


    After hearing her daughter''s question, the Queen Mother of the Brown Kingdom shook her head, not knowing what to say.


    During the four years that had passed, their situation seemed to improve slowly, both because of the time of regional peace and because Minos had never shown abusive behavior. In fact, their rtionship with the ck in was dozens of times better than they had thought after the sacrifices of their members years ago.


    That was so impressive that many people in this state questioned whether thete Thomas Brown had not made a mistake. What had they fought for? For a territory that never mattered to the kingdom itself? Fought against a dangerous fanatic?


    After what had happened in the years after the war, many wondered about the unnecessary ck in War of Independence.


    Anyway, because of their autonomy in this period, the royal family and the noble houses of this state had peace of mind to start recovering while rxing a bit after so much trouble.


    However, as soon as the recent troubles began to hit the ck in two years ago, other neighboring states of Albano and Minos'' territory began to suffer from the influx of Spiritual Kings from outside the region.


    That was the case for the Cromwell Kingdom and also the Brown Kingdom!


    Due to the difficulties for these Spiritual Kings to enter the ck in, some of them had begun infiltrating the neighboring states to go to the less problematic areas of the Minos territory.


    Because of this, the Brown Kingdom had been caught by surprise by hundreds of Spiritual Kingsing from Albano, people who were slowly bringing chaos to this state.


    Upon entering this territory, those individuals soon took areas to establish camps near the border with the ck in. At the same time, they began to demand fees for not attacking local organizations, along with the obligation of these powers to provide food and other items for them.


    Due to situations concerning these troublesome people, the Brown Kingdom, until two years ago, had been improving, had considerably reduced its recovery. Not only this, but each month the costs for them not to be attacked became higher, gradually pushing the local powers to their limits.


    Because of this worrying situation, the local royal family was on full alert, with many members totally distraught, not knowing how to survive this ordeal.


    One of the most worried people was precisely Diana, who, despite her power, was the only one who could not act given her connection to the ming Empire.


    The Queen Mother then said. "I don''t know what we''re going to do... We can only hope that the ck in can scare these people away."


    "ck in?" Diana felt annoyed at hearing this, remembering that part of her state''s current weakness was due to Minos'' unreasonable punishments.


    She owed Albert a significant debt, but she could not ignore that Minos had killed her father. So, she hated him.


    But Diana was not ignorant about war affairs and knew Minos and Thomas had been enemies for years. In this case, her father''s death was something that could not be questioned. However, what happened after the surrender of the Brown Kingdom was something, in her view, unnecessary, indefensible cruel action.


    She then said. "How can you say that, mother? Have you forgotten what Minos did to our family, to our state? How can you put our hopes in a dictator covered with the blood of ourrades?"


    That middle-aged woman sighed upon hearing that, but there was no other possibility. "Unfortunately, Diana, we are forced to live with what we have."


    "The ck in, as cruel as it is, is the only one with the slightest ability to stop these people. So yes, I can only hope such a state can do something about these invaders. Otherwise, we''re finished."


    "That..." Diana clenched her fists tightly until noises arose from her bones. "Worst case scenario, I will take you and my brother to the empire. That at least I am capable of doing."


    Unlike the Cromwell Kingdom, the Brown Kingdom had be too small for the royal family to be able to protect themselves while hiding in their territory.


    With thends taken by Minos and the fact that over 70% of the borders of this state bordered the ck in and Albano, almost the entire area of this kingdom was under invading interest. Because of this, if the local royal family were threatened with an attack, they would have no alternative but to abandon their state!


    And knowing they would have no ce in any other kingdom in the area, Diana was already considering the worst possibility and nning her family''s escape with her.


    "I hope it doesn''te to that..." The Queen Mothermented as she closed her eyes, surrounded by dark circles.


    ...


    While mother and daughter were talking about the doom of the Brown Kingdom, the King of this state was in the royal throne room, working hard as he had been doing for the past two years.


    Raynard Brown had reached level 57 recently after using a lot of his family''s resources, but not to the extent that, like Wilfred, he had damaged his foundations.


    In any case, he was currently the strongest person in his organization and had many concerns on his mind, something that could easily be seen on his sad face.


    But not only did he seem under a lot of stress, but all the royal guards and people there in that royal hall were also too.


    He then asked while sitting on his throne. "How is the recent news? Are there any more invaders?"


    "Unfortunately, yes, Your Majesty." A middle-aged man replied in a solemn tone. "One hundred more Albano Spiritual Kings have entered the kingdom this month, counting over a thousand asserted around our state''s border with the ck in."


    "Over a thousand?" Some guards in the surrounding area repeated the same question, shocked that so many Spiritual Kings were already around the ck in.


    "Will the ck in be able to withstand that? Or rather, will the region survive this invasion?" One of the strongest Spiritual Kings there, a level 52 man, asked such a thing full of concern.


    Silence filled that area as cold sweat began to drip down the backs of the various people there.


    Indeed, this was a paramount concern. How would the region survive if the number of invaders continued to increase as it had been?


    Raynard frowned and said. "As long as Spiritual Emperors don''t invade the region, I think the ck in will stand a chance against these invaders..."


    "If those numbers don''t grow significantly in a short period." He said, concerned about the numbers of invaders escting to tens of thousands in a matter of months.


    If that happened, even the ck in would be at a disadvantage!


    The King then said. "In any case, keepmunicating to the government of the ck in about the troublesome situation of these invaders. We are only their subordinates, but if we fall, the problems for them will be much greater!"


    "Yes, Your Majesty!"


    "On the other hand, let''smunicate to the other states in our region about what is happening. Maybe they are not being invaded like we are, but if the ck in eventually falls, the whole region will be under the control of these invaders."


    "We can''t let that happen!" He mmed one of his fists against the right arm of his throne.


    The people then discussed this matter for some more time, each worried about the state''s survival and their families in the event of a confrontation even more nightmarish than the previous war.


    ''The ck in almost destroyed us, but now this...'' One of the Spiritual Kings there sighed in defeat. ''Could it be that the heavens have something against us? Have our ancestorsmitted some great sin for us to deserve this?''


    Unfortunately, Minos hadmitted a great sin that they were all in danger of paying the price for!


    What sin?


    Simply the sin of prosperity, of having what you should not have without possessing a shocking force known to the parasites waiting to attack you.


    Because of this, now the whole region was in danger!
