System vs Rebirth

The soldiers on the wall couldn't help but drop their jaws to the ground. They thought that they would have to fight hard against all these demons, but the scene before them was completely beyond their imagination.

"What?"

"Sixty to seventy demons have just died?"

"How do they find the monsters easily?"

"Those grasses are pretty tall, aren't they?"

Even the captain, who led the soldiers, was frozen in his place. All of a sudden, someone climbed on top of the wall and said, "That's the lord of Lounstein and his wife, Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze!"

"Who are you?!" The captain was alarmed, but soon processed that name. He had heard about a new lord that would govern this territory, but he thought that it would be hard because this place was dangerous and the town hadn't been built yet.

To think that the lord and his wife would come to this place not long after arriving at their new territory, it felt like they were trying to ask for their help if not for the fact that they eliminated all the demons easily.

The captain regained his composure soon and hurriedly ordered his subordinates. "Open the gate!"

Just like that, Noel and Anna easily entered the city. They didn't bother gouging out the demon crystals, thinking it could be treated as a gift to the city.

The captain bowed his head and introduced himself. "I'm the captain of the city garrison, Hansen. Thank you for helping us, Lord Earl."

Noel glanced at the city's condition, which turned out to be more awful than he originally thought. The demons must have passed the gaps between the wall and caused a lot of destruction.

There were a lot of crushed buildings and those who remained standing were definitely damaged. When he looked deeper into the city, it didn't seem to be that good either. While most of the building remained intact, the living conditions were harsh.

A lot of the people seemed to have lost hope. Even the soldiers' conditions reflected the current situation. While they didn't seem to be malnourished, they were clearly showing signs of dehydration.

The problem wouldn't be food, but the water.

After getting enough information, Noel skipped all the pleasantries and asked, "Where is the mayor of this city? Does he know about all the problems the city has?"

"Y-yes, Sir! The mayor is in the middle of the city. Let me guide you." Captain Hansen extended his hand, asking Noel to follow him.

"Grandell. Bring your men and survey the city. Report to me about everything you can find later."

"Understood." Grandell acknowledged the order and signaled his men to begin.

"Should I look around as well?" Anna asked.

"No. You're going with me for now. Didn't you ask me to teach you about this kind of stuff? It will be a perfect opportunity."

"Alright then."
