Problem Hard to Solve 

Three weeks after meeting the Spiritual Sage of the Eastern Empire, Minos had once again left for the battlefield in the Flaming Empire.

He had done what he could to strengthen the defenses of his capital before leaving, as well as waiting as long as possible. But he could not wait forever. Resolving the Grey Clouds Sect situation was the quickest way for him to get enough to finish with Abe.

Since doing nothing and staying in Dry City would not help him, Minos left after taking as much action as possible but prepared to make this trip as quickly as possible. 

He knew that the enemy would attack. That way, once he appeared on the battlefield, he intended to do his job quickly and leave without caring too much about helping his forces in that empire clear the battlefield.
