Let's Formalize Our Request for Independence!
With the Black Plain Army's dominance over the Maritime City, it wasn't long before some of the weaker soldiers in the army began to spread the Dry City advertisement in that location.
However, they were not doing this careless. No, the army's plan to lure the inhabitants of that town to the Dry City was similar to what had happened at the time of Minos' agreement with Mirya.
So, the soldiers who would have to do this advertisement work would attract only the less talented and unemployed people so that they would come to Dry City to find out what opportunities they would have in such a place.
And since the soldiers had taken control of that city, they now had all the data necessary for this kind of operation to occur with little risk of trouble reaching them!
