System vs Rebirth

"What?"

"The Count is truly…"

The people around him were shocked as they stared at the Count.

They had lost many soldiers due to the attack this time. It was truly a great loss to the city, but it was an even greater loss to their families.

They weren't supposed to fight the monsters. Yet, due to the Count's farm, they died needlessly.

The anger was welling up in their eyes. But a part of them was still thinking it was impossible for them to kill the noble even if they wanted to. Even an attack alone was enough to make them go to jail or mine.

If they attacked him right now, the Count could easily kill them. They were afraid that the Count would silence them since they had all heard about it.

Even Noel couldn't predict what the Count would do, considering he might become reckless after his secret was exposed.

Still, it took both of them to handle this person. If one of them had to stop the Count from being reckless, it would mean this guy could use a powerful attack to destroy the city and cause more chaos. That way, many people would die even if they managed to take him down later.

That was why Anna wondered whether they had another backup or not. She had been going according to Noel's plan, but she was a bit worried about this situation.
