System vs Rebirth

Noel and Anna were invited to the village chief's house to discuss the problem.

"The incident started a month ago. There were 5 villages next to this village previously, but now, there is only one left. The first village was destroyed a month ago. At that time, we didn't think much about it. We only asked for the help from the kingdom to subjugate this bandit.

"Unfortunately, the kingdom didn't move fast enough and the second village was destroyed ten days later. At that time, we started fearing about the potential raid.

"Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the soldiers did come to kill the bandits. However, they couldn't do anything because they were attacked by the demons. The soldiers retreated and even escaped.

"We were blamed for not reporting this matter. So, we asked for the assistance of the Demon Banner Army to subjugate the demons while paying attention to the bandits.

"It was at that time we learned that the demons attacked the third village before the bandits came just to loot the now empty houses. They kidnapped women and children who managed to survive from the demon attack.

"A few days ago, we heard that the bandits had attacked again. If we're looking at the position, this village is going to be the next target."

Noel contemplated for a moment and said, "Thus the time limit. It seems that the bandits are attacking you every week. From the look of it, the situation is more complicated than we originally expected…"

"Are you going to…" The village chief's face became pale. It was clear that he was afraid of Noel and Anna rejecting this request.

"I think we should have some power to handle the bandits as well as the demons." Noel glanced at Anna who nodded in agreement. After that, he looked at the elderly and said, "Still, we need your cooperation to end this problem."

"I understand. Please tell us anything you want us to do." Out of fear, the chief accepted the condition without hesitation.
