System vs Rebirth

“What? They attacked one of our branches? How did they find it?” Alexander stood up.

“We heard their report stating that the Ardagan family was expanding in their direction. However, they were found much faster than they originally expected. Apparently, they were trying to escape, but the Ardagan family set up an ambush. The Demon Banner Army was even involved in this,” explained Josephine.

“Where is Laufey? He should be the person in charge of that branch, right?”

“He is immediately going there to confirm it with his own eyes,” said Josephine.

Alexander fell silent. He couldn’t really get angry when the person in charge was going there personally. Besides, this attack was just weird.

Why would they suddenly expand in that direction? It was true that the Ardagan family was expanding, but suddenly finding their base was weird.

“We have received information from the people there that they are expanding their farmland.”

“What? Are they taking down one of our bases just to expand their farm?” Alexander frowned.

“Most likely. According to our spies in the Golden Dawn City, they’re planning to increase the yield of their farm because of the situation in the kingdom.”

“Farm, huh?” Alexander frowned. There was one thought in his mind. Since they were fighting, it was obvious that the land couldn’t be farmed when it had been destroyed by the demons.

It would definitely cause a famine if they attacked hard enough. This was one of their plans, but what if Noel expanded his farm, fully aware of this plan? He didn’t have to rely on others, who might also experience famine. In fact, he could use his own storage to help them.

As a result, Noel’s strength became much more consolidated.

What about the battle against them? Such a war would definitely cause a widespread famine. Noel was simply preparing for it, which was understandable.

It seemed he was the one who didn’t understand what Noel was planning to do.

Alexander nodded. “It seems we have no other choice but to retreat our force. Doing so will lead to the growth of the Ardagan family, but if we lost more than this, especially after the defeat against the Demon Banner Army, it would be hard to recover from the setback.”

Josephine couldn’t refute those words. The continuous defeats had started running them dry. If they continued at this pace, it wouldn’t be weird if the Supreme Devil Organization ceased to exist.

Besides, the royal family, the Third Prince, and the Tower Association had tried to attack Noel, but they were stopped whether through Noel’s superior plan or superior technology.

Suddenly, the Supreme Devil’s voice echoed from behind the curtain.

“Tell them to retreat. There is no point in sending them to their deaths. It’s best if we replenish our strength during this time… even if it means allowing the Ardagan family to further grow.

“What we have right now is incomparable to the Ardagan family. However, both Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze are planning to leave their territory for a sea expedition.

“Even if we can’t sabotage the expedition itself, we will definitely be able to mess with his territory. frёewebηovel.cѳm

“Josephine. I want you to utilize your ability to help with the evacuation. I don’t want another loss.”

“Understood.” Josephine acknowledged the order.

“Alexander. You have to distract them until the full evacuation is completed. I’m afraid this matter is not as simple. Currently, we know that both Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze are spirit transcendences.

“However, this kind of boldness doesn’t come only from their strength. Make sure to investigate them thoroughly and figure out whether the Greenwood Kingdom helps them.”

Alexander nodded. “Not only the Greenwood Kingdom, but I’ll also investigate the Zaecuria Kingdom. They’re going on a sea expedition with the Zaecuria Kingdom, so it won’t be weird if they receive the Zaecuria Kingdom’s help.”

“I’ll leave it to you.”

“Yes.” Alexander lowered his head.

“Warn the Third Prince, the royal family, and the Tower Association to not do anything. The last thing we need is to get our force weakened further. It’s better to build up and attack the Ardagan family together.

“Tell Laufey to oversee the retreat as well.”

“Yes!” Both of them lowered their heads, acknowledging the order. It seemed they had no other choice but to swallow their pride.

“You’re done here?” The admiral asked with a smile.

“Yes. Everything is done. I’ll return here once we’re ready to depart.” Noel nodded before turning to Incetta. “What do you think?”

Incetta nodded. “I believe that they will train their soldiers perfectly. If we play it right, we might be able to find land this time.”

“What about their training?”

“They are moving in the correct direction.”

“Alright.” Noel nodded and turned back to the admiral. “There you have it. We’ll take our leave here. We’re thankful for your hospitality for the last three weeks. It took longer than I expected, but I couldn’t be away for too long.”

“Certainly.” The admiral nodded. “I hope we will be able to make this expedition a success.”

“Yes.”

After shaking the admiral’s hand, Noel and Incetta went back to their car, starting their return trip.

On the way, Vivi couldn’t help but ask, “So it’s really that guy?”

“Yes. According to the report, the first expedition was a success. He seemed to have settled down over there. Although it is shameful, we really need the divine item.”

“Fair enough. Besides, he must also understand it. Hopefully, we will be able to get it without any fight.” Vivi nodded. “Still, I have never thought that a muscle gorilla would end up settling down.

“When we fought together, he was the last person that came to my mind for a husband. After all, the only thing in his mind was to fight, fight, and fight.

“I guess someone managed to change him over there. I wonder if his legacy is still being passed down today…” Vivi smiled.

She was a bit excited to see what kind of clan he built and whether it was successful or not.
