System vs Rebirth



Demon Banner Army's Headquarters.

Commander Oscar had been sitting with a frown for a while. He was staring so hard at the report Septa submitted not long ago.

The report contained the four important things he discovered in the Plant Lord's place.

"Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze being on the list… We can only find this out because they both come to the Demon Banner Army, exposing them to danger."

"Then, there is this Saxalia Grass that can fool the demon's senses… If it's used correctly, I'm afraid we will have to face a problem bigger than anything we have prepared for."

"Now that I think about it, they have been using it for Low and Mid Level Demons. It seems that they have improved their power. But how much has it been improved? And if they use it all around the kingdom so that all the borders in the kingdom are attacked by the demons…"

Oscar's expression darkened.

"There is also the case about the Fagant Leaf as well as the Demon Farm… What if everything is connected?" Oscar narrowed his eyes. He couldn't imagine the consequences.

It seemed that the Supreme Devil Organization was raising their strength to an unprecedented level. If they didn't act now, they might be crushed by their scheme.

Oscar didn't know that Anna and Noel had been crushing their plans. Though, Noel wasn't aware of the future.

Anna was the one who had been causing a lot of problems for the Supreme Devil Organization; from the Geolythic Mountain to the Treasure Cave, she had been stealing a lot of things that could strengthen the organization.

Oscar wasn't aware of her deeds. So, he only thought that they had to intercept the Supreme Devil Organization as quickly as possible.

Oscar called a name out loud. "Milfa!"

It only took her a few seconds to open the door, entering his office. From his voice alone, it was clear that there was a big problem.

"Yes Sir? How can I help you?"

Oscar tossed the paper to her. He imbued a small amount of Spiritual Energy to harden the paper, so it could fly to Milfa easily.

Milfa grabbed and made a quick scan of the report before realizing the problem was bigger than she expected.

"What do you want me to do?" Milfa asked.

"I need the map as well as information."

Milfa frowned. "A map? What kind of map?"

Oscar stated with a cold tone. "The kingdom map."

"!!!" Milfa widened her eyes in shock. The fact that he wanted the kingdom map meant the problem would involve the entire kingdom.

Understanding the degree of the problem, Milfa immediately disappeared, grabbing the map.

One minute later, she reappeared and opened the map on Oscar's table.

"The Supreme Devil Organizations… you should have received the information about their movements, right? Is there any active movement?"

Milfa recounted the information and pointed at two places. "These are the two places. The Demon Hunting Squad as well as the Demon Protection Squad are protecting those places respectively."

"…" Oscar narrowed his eyes.

"Should we send reinforcement to them, Commander? If the Supreme Devil Organization is going to make a big move, then it will definitely wipe out a squad. It will be too big of a loss for the army."

Oscar remained silent, staring at the map as if he didn't hear her question. He suddenly asked, "In that case, is there any squad facing a problem?"

"There are three problems. The Demon Extermination Squad has just gone on a new mission and has a problem with the new region. The Demon Beholder Squad has shifted their camp to match the report earlier and is under heavy supervision from all sides. And lastly, there is a huge demon swarm that attacks the Demon Barrier Squad. They have asked for reinforcement from nearby areas, and it seems that the Demon Relief Squad has been sent there prior to the distress call."

"!!!" Oscar remembered the list. With Noel being so high on the list, it showed which one he had to prioritize.

Oscar said, "We need to send reinforcement to the Demon Barrier Squad immediately."

After hearing it, Milfa didn't react immediately. Instead, she took a look at the map and thought about the situation.

"Don't tell me, the Supreme Devil Organization is going to do something in this place… The Demon Barrier Squad shouldn't be that important in the organization's eyes. Then, their target… Wait, do they know Noel Ardagan is Knight Iadre?" Milfa frowned. She couldn't believe that Noel's identity could be found so easily. 

The only reason she could figure out Noel's identity was due to her being around with the commander, who had that secret. But the Supreme Devil Organization wasn't near anyone who should know about this information, so she didn't know how they could figure it out.

Oscar nodded. "And I think there is a way for them to find out about his identity…"

"You don't mean…" Milfa gasped as she immediately pumped her chest to salute. "Commander. Please dispatch me and the Demon Adjudicator Squad to help the Demon Barrier Squad."

"That's my plan. However, you need to be careful." Oscar's expression became grim. "You should know that your opponent might be a Devil Saint."

If anyone could find out about Noel's identity, it would be someone who knew a lot of things about the Ardagan Family. In other words, it would be his relative.

And there was one relative that was in the Supreme Devil Organization. He was the Devil Saint, Laufey Ardagan.

He was the reason why Milfa came to Noel personally. She wanted to know whether Noel would become someone like Laufey in the future.

After all, Laufey was once the captain of the Demon Adjudicator Squad. As the current captain, she felt responsible and wanted to capture this traitor personally.

Of course, everything was only speculation. It might be just a false alarm, but with all the information they had received, it was true that the Supreme Devil Organization had been preparing for something big.

They didn't know what it was and when it would be coming, so they could only proceed carefully.

Oscar also didn't return to his seat. Instead, he came out of his room like Milfa. There was one place he needed to go with all this information.

It was none other than the capital, specifically the royal castle. Oscar was planning to have an audience with the king.
