Opportune Times and Plans
Minos listened to his people for some time, updating his knowledge on the situation on the continent and in the empire.
In short, the continent was weakened by the war between Vico and Maximillian. Friendly states of the Black Plain, such as the Flaming Empire and the Flowers Kingdom, faced various problems caused by the clashes on their borders.
Many cities were being abandoned in the vicinity of the battlefield while agricultural lands capable of supplying entire states were being left.
Without people to take care of them because of the risks of the remaining crashes from high-level cultivators, part of the production of these states had been greatly affected.
Meanwhile, the movement of people from practically every state on the continent, fleeing the war towards the Black Plain Empire or Divine Continent, had also been affecting the stability of every state.
