System vs Rebirth

Chapter 475 Leaving

Noel took some time to contemplate. He even said out loud, ”Ben, buy me some time.”

Ben didnʼt understand at first, but seeing Noel making a grim situation, it seemed that the situation was more complicated than he originally thought.

Seeing them deploying a lot of Spirit Masters, it seemed that the Supreme Devil Organizations had gone all out.

There were ten Spirit Masters in sight. According to the report, there were two Spirit Grandmasters and a possibility of a third Spirit Grandmaster.

There was no way three Spirit Grandmasters were only accompanied by ten Spirit Masters. So, he believed there were more Spirit Masters around them, and most likely, they were hiding because they knew rushing to this base wasnʼt a good option.

They wanted to know whether they had prepared a trap or not.

It was easy to see how by sending all these beasts to them.

Noel looked down for a moment. On the one hand, he had to make sure there were enough Spirit Masters on their side. On the other hand, the Supreme Devil Organization should have deployed around twenty Spirit Masters and three Spirit Grandmasters.

It seemed they were planning to destroy the Demon Hunting Squad this time. And with them being unable to report this situation to the other captains, the enemy would always have the numerical advantages.

ʼTwo Spirit Grandmasters… There isnʼt a third Spirit Grandmaster yet and Captain Igor has left the Zero Squad, the First Squad, and the Third Squad in the base.

ʼWith these three squads and us, itʼs possible to resist all those Spirit Masters. That leaves only the third Spirit Grandmaster.

ʼI want to ignore this possibility, but itʼs quite high to the point I have to put it in my calculation. No, wait a minute… Why does he only bring out the Second Squad instead of the First Squad? I can understand that the Zero Squad has to remain since Richard is the second in command. But First Squad?ʼ

Noel felt something amiss. The one Igor should have brought was the First Squad, not the Second Squad. So, he wondered why he did it.

ʼWait… we have enough Spirit Masters to resist the Supreme Devil Organization? Looking at the scale of this raid, the Supreme Devil Organization should have thought of a good plan. And this one is good since weʼre in a pinch.

ʼBut Captain Igorʼs movement feels like he already knows about the enemyʼs movement…ʼ

”!!!” Noel soon gasped, thinking of the ridiculous possibility. He muttered inwardly, ʼDonʼt tell me, Captain Igor has known about this? If thereʼs a mole to let them know about our movement, then… does that mean Captain Igor is already aware of the mole?ʼ

The moment he considered the possibility of Igor knowing about the mole, he realized that the situation might be salvageable.

Suddenly, he turned around and jumped to the top of the wall. The wall wasnʼt that high, so he easily reached the top.

After that, he went to Richard and Rose while stating, ”I need people to chase after Captain Igor. Iʼm sure that the Supreme Devil Organization has brought those Spirit Grandmasters in order to kill him. The loss of Captain Igor will be devastating, so we have to prevent it from happening.

”Thatʼs why I need people to help Captain Igor,” Noel explained the situation before demanding reinforcement.

Richard paused for a moment. He was a bit skeptical of this plan, but Noel didnʼt seem to be planning to harm them.

Hence, Richard immediately asked, ”How many men do you require?”

”I need Rose and Ben to come with me. And there should be one Spirit Master with us to turn around the situation. So, the strongest Spirit Master you can give me.”

Richard thought for a moment and pointed at himself, ”Then, Iʼll go with you.”

”Huh?” Noel would never ask Richard to move together with him. After all, Richardʼs strength was beyond their league.

However, Richardʼs overwhelming strength would be extremely useful in this area. So, Noel had no intention of rejecting it.

Though, there was something he had to confirm. ”If we leave, how about your team?”

”You donʼt have to worry about them. The First Squadʼs Captain can handle this and my squad is good as well. So, we can go just fine.

”Besides, itʼs better if you bring me here. Our opponent is Spirit Grandmasters. Assuming that the Captain could crush one of them easily, we have to stop the other one from buying enough time for our Captain.

”And the best person to deal with another Spirit Grandmaster is me. Although I donʼt know whether weʼre equal or not, Iʼm pretty sure that we can somehow buy enough time for my Captain to defeat his opponent.”

Noel contemplated for a moment. It seemed that he had no other way to reject it. Of course, he was afraid that the enemy would unleash their third Spirit Grandmaster when Richard left.

But Noel knew the base had some Protection Enhancement that could be used to stop a Spirit Grandmaster for some time. Hence, they had the luxury of helping Igor.

”Alright Letʼs go according to your arrangement.” Noel nodded with a serious expression. He knew that this was probably the best course of action they could take, considering they needed speed.

”Iʼll give my command to someone then. Weʼll go in two minutes. Get ready.”

As soon as Noel nodded, Igor rushed to the other side of the wall to inform him about the new arrangement. As expected, the one he chose to take care of this wall was none other than the guy with slanted eyes. He was smart and quite powerful, so the wall should be safe for some time.

While waiting for him, Noel had gone down and informed Ben about their plan before climbing the wall with Ben.

Exactly two minutes later, Richard finally returned and nodded to them. ”Alright. Iʼm ready. Do you want me to lead the group?”

”We prefer if Iadre leads us, considering heʼs the only one to see through the enemyʼs plan.” Rose supported Noel.

There was no objection. Richard simply nodded and pointed at Noel. ”Shall we go?”
