System vs Rebirth

With the authorization, they began their preparation. The entire fort became extremely busy since they were expecting hundreds if not thousands of demons coming straight at them. This would be the first huge battle with the demons.

On the one hand, they had fortified the area with forts and ditches. On the other hand, the demons wouldn't be that easily stopped by all these. The powerful demons should be able to penetrate the fort with their power, so they had to be careful during the preparation.

As expected, the first one to return to the base was none other than Plant Lord's squad.

Noel met up with Zion to ask him a few questions regarding the Plant Lord. He hadn't told Zion that the Plant Lord was suspicious. But due to this, the Plant Lord shouldn't realize that Zion was observing him this whole time.

This was one of Noel's plans. However, it wasn't enough.

He had already made a plan to isolate the Plant Lord. But as one would expect from the Plant Lord, his reputation didn't allow Rhane to ask for his cooperation with the ambush.

That was why Rhane didn't do anything to convince the Plant Lord. Instead, she was waiting for any captain to discuss it personally with the Plant Lord.

The second squad to return was Captain Shale's squad. They waited for the demons to leave first. Once the peace was restored, they sneaked out of the building and tried to regroup with the others.

Although they didn't see Septa's squad, they personally witnessed Plant Lord's squad leaving the facility. So, they decided to regroup with the others to think of their next plan.

Just like Rhane's explanation, Captain Clara and the Stone Lord led their squads to loop around the base in order to confuse the demons. With the help of the Stone Lord, they made significant progress in stalling them.
