System vs Rebirth

Seeing Noel and the others on top of the wall, Laufey had a dilemma. Obviously, he didn't want this mission to be over easily. However, there was still a chance that Dimitri was among them, waiting until they thought he wasn't there.

When that happens, there would be another casualty from their side.

At the same time, if he retreated from this place, there would be a lot of pressure when he returned to the base.

That was why Laufey realized there was one more thing they could do.

'We can't continue here. It'll be troublesome if we attack them in this situation. And Dimitri might be there, waiting for us to lower our guard.'

'In that case, should I just accept the defeat? No, there is one more thing I can do. I just have to lure them away. Still, we can't ambush them on the way since I'm only left with three Spirit Grandmasters.'

Laufey seemed to have made his decision. He glanced to the back while shouting, "We are retreating!"

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes when he heard that instruction. He thought Laufey would be more reckless, but it seemed that he managed to maintain his composure after all this.

Noel glanced to the side. "We have to attack them right now. Don't let them escape. We have to buy more time! And ask the Captain of the Demon Barrier Squad to come here if possible!"

"What are you talking about? Aren't we safe now?" Paul frowned, feeling something bad from Noel's excessive worry. Noel wasn't someone that would overreact like this, so there might be another consequence that was hidden inside that message.

"They are going to attack other cities. One city might not be enough!" Noel clicked his tongue.
