System vs Rebirth Chapter 684 Attack

Chapter 684 Attack

"How is it?" Laufey asked while glaring at Hailfa.

Hailfa had a hard time maintaining her composure since Laufey was already angry because he didn't want the mission to fail. Hailfa said, "They should have reached the city in sixteen hours by now. And among the two cities, this is the one that should receive them. We can see the increase of soldiers on the wall. They should be the injured soldiers that have been healed."

"So, I believe we can safely a.s.sume that their carriages are filled with medicine. However, the city has been fortified and has its own source of water. So, it's impossible to cut off their supplies for the time being."

"I know that already. If we wait for too long, the reinforcements from other squads will arrive. We can't wait that long." Laufey's frustration increased. He couldn't afford to wait for so long.

Hailfa gulped down. One wrong word would definitely trigger the eruption of his anger. So, she carefully worded her advice. "We may have a solution. It's true that the fortified city can endure the demons' attack."

"But if we attack the wall and manage to blast it open, we can cause some ruckus inside. With this, the squad only has two options left. They can either remain in the city or leave it. We can enter the city with the help of the demons if they choose the former. Meanwhile, we can simply ambush them with all our strength if they choose the latter."

"According to Sir, there might be another Spirit Grandmaster that could rival that ice spirit user, but if that's the case, we would have perished in the previous ambush. Hence, I believe that person is not there… at the very least, in this situation."

"That's why we still have a chance to turn around the situation. All we need to do is to destroy their wall."

Laufey's rage calmed down for a bit as he couldn't help but consider her opinions.

It might look like Laufey failed as a leader since he couldn't remain calm and use his subordinate to give him the plan, even though he had been the one to devise all their plans.

However, there was another reason for Laufey's rage. That was why people were afraid of angering him since his anger was related to his spirit.

But when they managed to calm him down, Laufey could start working normally again. He considered her plans before saying, "Sure. I will destroy their city. Since they have gone all the way to anger me, it's time to show them what my rage could do to them."

"How many gates does the city have?"

"Three Gates: South, West, and North."

"In that case, we will split up into three. The injured will be with me in the West while you and the pair will hide in the South and North. If we look at their pattern, I don't think they will remain in the city."

"So, once they go out, we will wait for them. Remember, don't engage. We will regroup first before ambus.h.i.+ng them. Even if they expect it, we will overwhelm them."

"One more thing you all have to remember. If there is one more Spirit Grandmaster, some of you will probably die. I can survive, but the mission will end up as a failure. When that happens, the Supreme Devil Organization will take this matter even more seriously since they might be using the Demon Relief Squad as bait to lure our strong fighters before killing them."

"In other words, if my theory is correct, they might already be aware of our intentions and try to weaken the organization."

"So, once you spot another Spirit Grandmaster, don't engage and return to our rendezvous point immediately. Understood?"

"Yes, Sir." All Devil Bishops nodded their heads. Just like how they intended to hunt the Demon Relief Squad, the Demon Banner Army might use that chance to weaken them.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Noel hadn't even given such a request to the Demon Banner Army for two reasons. The Supreme Devil Organizations might have infiltrated them like the Tower a.s.sociation. So, if those spies in Captain Ranks or even Vice Captain Ranks were to know about this plan, the enemies would get the information and rearrange their plans. In addition, Noel didn't know about the Plant Lord's involvement in all those incidents since the reports had just reached the commander.

That was why there was no concrete plan to deal with the Supreme Devil Organization yet.

Still, it didn't really matter. After all, both Laufey and Noel knew that this was the best time to attack.

Twenty two hours after they entered the city, Laufey had created a concrete plan and made sure the information about the city while Noel had gotten enough rest and preparation for the incoming attack.

The sun had risen for two hours and the fight was at its peak. If there was going to be a sneak attack, it would be at this time. Not only would it pummel the soldiers' morale, but it would also give them a lot of time to execute their own plans.

In the city, Noel was staring at his teammates. Worried filled his heart as he said with a grim tone. "I know this is a lot to ask, but I hope that all of you can trust me no matter how weird the request is. Our survival will be relying on our own role. And if I have to die, I'll make sure that I die together with you guys. So, please…"

Noel lowered his head, requesting their cooperation. He knew that if something went wrong, someone might die. It showed how strong the enemies were.

…

While Noel was lowering his head, Laufey was standing not far from the city. The trees covered him, so people couldn't find him unless they were intending to do so.

He was holding his sword with both hands. His body was emitting a fiery red glow. It was calm on the outside, but if one touched it, they would be burned to ashes as if it was a blazing fire.

This was his rage… the rage that he had gathered since the start of the mission.

When the time was ripe, he gradually opened his eyes while waving his sword downwards.

"Madness Fury."
