System vs Rebirth



"What? Our force was defeated? What was the casualty?" Oscar slammed the table while shouting in anger.

Milfa remained calm, but her expression was dark. She was also disturbed by the news she reported to Oscar.

Milfa took a deep breath before explaining the situation. "Captain Igor has lost his entire right arm. Captain Faust was covered in injuries, and right now, he is in a coma. We don't know when he will wake up. Vice Captain Eizen has passed away, while Vice Captain Paul's condition is similar to Captain Faust's. It seems that he is protected by the others, so he should wake up in a few days."

Oscar gritted his teeth. This was the first time they had received this level of casualty. If he didn't contain himself, his Spiritual Energy would have cracked the entire room and destroyed the windows. He asked, "What happened that day?"

"According to our report, all captains and vice captains were supposed to die back then. However, they received help from the one who was known as Shadow from our Demon Banner Army."

"Shadow? Dimitri?!"

"Yes." Milfa nodded. "He had helped them stop the Demon Saint."

"Where is Dimitri?"

"He has returned to his Master's side. And even if we call him here, he wouldn't be able to help us anymore. After all, he has left the Demon Banner Army. And currently, the link that connects him with the spirit is weakened."

"Weakened? You mean…"

"Yeah. The ultimate power of the Spirit, the True Spirit Body." Milfa nodded without hesitation.

"I see." Oscar covered his face with both hands, wondering what he should do. "It seems that the Supreme Devil Organization has run out of patience. Did we get any proof about their connection with the First Arbiter?"

"Not yet. Should we send Septa to lead the investigation?"

"No. The Supreme Devil Organization is hunting us. So, it won't be wise to do that." Oscar looked down, falling into deep thought.

Milfa was staring at him, a bit dissatisfied with the passive reaction. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you will let them do all this without suffering any consequences?"

However, the answer came in the form of a gaze. The gaze was filled with anger and killing intent. The commander was telling her that wasn't the case.

"Our captains are strong. However, it will be different if the Demon Saints have begun to move. If we send our captains carelessly, the Supreme Devil Organization is going to hunt them down one by one, weakening our power.

"For now, tell the Royal Family about this situation. They will surely send a few people to help us deal with the enemies. As for the Tower Association… they have been away for so long, but it doesn't change the fact that the Plant Lord's death is the trigger of this ambush. We'll be involving them too, so you should think of a way to make them pay for this!"

"Understood." Milfa nodded with a serious expression. It seemed that she was ready to make the Tower Association a run for their money. Though, the main problem remained. "What should we do about our current situation?"

"There are a total of fifteen Squads in our Demon Banner Army. Since the enemies are targeting us, I want them to always move in a group of three. There should be at least one top 5 squad every time they move. It will be better if there are two of them.

"If they don't have any major movement, then they are to remain in their position. I'm afraid that you won't have a lot of time to play from the sidelines anymore, Milfa."

Milfa sighed. "Should I join hands with Captain Septa to investigate the entire Demon Banner Army? The Arbiters and the Elders from the two influences have been corrupted by them, so there is a chance that they have infiltrated us as well."

"Yeah. Septa is good at investigating things like this, but he is a bit too weak to face this situation. I want you to accompany him. Septa is a great asset to us, so we can't let him die. If something goes wrong, then immediately pull back."

"Got it." Milfa thought for a moment before asking, "What about Noel and the Demon Relief Squad?"

Milfa mentioned him because of Dimitri and the hidden expert from the Greenwood Kingdom.

The commander shook his head. "We will leave him be for the time being as long as he doesn't harm the Demon Banner Army. As for the squad, Clara should be able to take care of it."

"But Noel is currently being targeted by the Supreme Devil Organization."

"I know. And you're probably thinking about the people connected to him as well, since the organization can kidnap them and force Noel to do something against his will. That's why we'll monitor the people he is close with, especially the kids. I know it's ruthless for me to say it, but we don't have enough manpower to help them. So, if they are being kidnapped to be used against Noel, kill them! We'll tell him that they died because of the organization. If he does find out, then I will shoulder the responsibility."

Milfa fell silent. Oscar's decision was indeed cold and ruthless. But if they took a look at the situation objectively, his decision was the correct one since it would cause the least damage to the Demon Banner Army.

"Right now, the ones who have the True Spirit Body are you, Shale, and me. Well, we can't count Dimitri now. In any case, the three of us are the foundation of the Demon Banner Army, so I hope nothing happens to us."

"Us, huh? I haven't asked you, commander. What are you planning to do?"

"What am I planning to do?" Oscar gritted his teeth as his killing intent began to fill the entire room. "Of course, I'm going to kill them. I will destroy a few bases."

"But this plan might be there to lure you away. Are you sure about this?"

"I'm aware that it might be a trap. But don't worry. I'm not planning to go alone." Oscar paused for a moment. "Don't worry. I have a plan for this."

"Understood."
