System vs Rebirth

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A series of explosions occurred. Some of them came from the clash between Captain Faust and the Superior Demon. Some of them originated from Noel’s Fire Ability.

“Kill them!”

“Hurry up!”

The knights near the gate shouted while fighting the demons.

Meanwhile, the carriage was already levitating in the air, flying straight at them. But because the horse was confused by Telekinesis, Jonathan had to lift them until they passed through the gate.

The landing was bumpy and almost broke one of the wheels. Nevertheless, they managed to enter the city.

Noel helped them to shoot down the enemies with his power while the soldiers inside lowered the gate.

Ultimately, the gate was shut down and the Demon Relief Squad could finally enter the city. As if knowing that it had failed in its assassination, the Superior Demon retreated as if it was trying to find another opportunity to kill more humans.

But because he wasn’t sure whether the enemies would still attack or not, Faust had to remain on top of the wall.

That was why the Demon Relief Squad was divided into two groups. Paul, Noel, Rose, and Ben went to the wall while the rest remained near the carriages.

When Faust saw them, he said, “I am Faust, the Captain of the Demon Barrier Squad. As you can see, our situation is like this. We are grateful for you to come here, but I’m afraid that if you want to help us, I have to ask the Demon Relief Squad to fight. We don’t have any problems with food or water for the time being.”

Paul smiled and said, “Paul, Vice Leader of the Demon Relief Squad. I have brought the Zero Squad to assist the Demon Barrier Squad. And, of course, we know that. Hence, the three carriages bring a lot of medicine. This should help the people in the city for a bit, right?”

“What?” Faust widened his eyes in shock. He never expected that the Demon Relief Squad would have a lot of medicine. He thought those carriages were filled with food, water, and tools for their jobs.

Paul smiled, “Our member has considered what might happen during our travel, so it ends up this way.”

“…” Faust thought for a moment and said, “In that case, you should go to the city center and find a person called Historia. She is the squad leader of the First Squad. You should ask about the distribution of the medicine as well as the explanation of our current situation. I have to remain here to make sure the Superior Demon doesn’t attack us again.”

“Got it.” Paul nodded. “In that case, we’ll go there right away.”

Paul hastily turned around, ready to go down. But before he left, Faust added, “Thank you for your help, Demon Relief Squad. I hope that many people can be saved.”

Paul’s expression turned grim. Even though Faust looked like he was someone who talked with fist than mouth, he seemed to have a certain understanding as well as the power to lower his pride for the sake of the people.

Paul knew that since such a man had asked them to save people, he had to do his best.

Paul and the others immediately regrouped with the rest and headed to the center.

On the way, Rose couldn’t help but say, “That’s surprising. I have heard that Captain Faust is someone who has a fiery temper, but it seems that I have misjudged him.”

“But you should know that since he has asked us that way, we shouldn’t disappoint him.” Paul sighed.

The mood in the group became heavy because they knew the severity of this task. It took them five minutes to reach the city center and asked someone to guide them to meet Historia.

They were guided into a small building near the city center.

Inside, they met a petite woman with blond hair. She wore big round glasses and her eyes made one feel like she was a scholar. She was completely the opposite of Faust.

When the group arrived, she immediately dropped everything on her hand and politely bowed to them.

“I thank you for coming to our aid, Demon Relief Squad. I am Historia, the Squad Leader of the First Squad of the Demon Barrier Squad.”

“As you can see right now, we have a deep problem, and I don’t have a lot of time to entertain all of you.”

“So, I shall brief you about our situation. There are a total of five cities that are under the demon attack.”

“The captain is protecting this place while his right hand and left hand man are protecting two other cities. The rest are protected by a few more squads.”

“So, I remain here to handle all the problems so that the captain can fight without any worries.”

“We have been under attack by a lot of demons, and according to the captain, there is at least one Superior Demon among them.”

“We don’t know much about the situation in other cities since the route has been blocked off.”

She stopped for a moment, so Paul took this opportunity to explain their luggage. “We have brought a lot of medicine from wound medicine to fever medicine since we expected that the city would be under a fierce attack.”

“So, we can distribute them right now. There are a total of four thousand low grade wound medicines. I think this will be useful for you. That’s why I want to ask about the numbers of the casualties, including the wounded.”

“!!!” Historia widened her eyes. She understood why the captain sent them to her. Without hesitation, she answered everything that Paul wanted to know.

“We have a total of three thousand people in this city, including the civilians and normal soldiers.” .𝘤𝑜𝑚

“Three hundred soldiers have died and seven hundred people have been wounded. So, we are going to distribute the healing medicine to them. While keeping some for future use, we would like to send them to other cities as well. Is that possible?”
