System vs Rebirth

"How is the progress?" Qiel asked while walking to Laufey on top of a cliff.

"The progress is steady. I have brought at least 30 thousand demons with at least 4 Superior Demons."

"4 Superior Demons? That's quite big, but it's not enough." Qiel frowned, slightly worried.

"We still have more than two months, so I should be able to bring more. I'm not sure how many Superior Demons I can get, but that swarm should be enough to destroy multiple cities." Laufey nodded. "Once it's done, I'm going to destroy the city and get anything they've left behind, especially the secret of the Ardagan Family."

"Don't underestimate him. We have lost against him multiple times in the past."

"I know." Laufey nodded with a grim expression. He had suffered a lot of ridicule after that defeat, so he obviously didn't want to do this half-heartedly. "So, how is the situation over there?"

"All our spies have died. The Rune City is hard to penetrate due to the Sword Arbiter. However, the first Rune City should be quite amazing, considering our agents said he had a carriage that could move without a horse."

"Hoh?" Laufey squinted his eyes. "Is it possible for him to create a weapon?"

"Most likely. After all, he has a Master Blacksmith with him."

"Their strength?"

"I am not sure. The last time we spotted him was when he went back to the city with the Moon Temple's Saintess and a single paladin. According to our agents, it seems to be Aurelia."

"Moon Temple… I guess we can't attack them." Laufey looked at Qiel with a worried expression.

"Yeah. Our action this time will definitely garner the attention of all kingdoms. The fact that we can manipulate a demon army of this size means we can threaten their kingdom. If we kill the Moon Temple's Saintess after defeating the Ardagan Family, those royal bastards in the Greenwood Kingdom would rally all other kingdoms to subjugate us. That's why we can't harm the Moon Temple to buy more time to assemble more power."

"Since we don't know the condition in their main city, how many demons do you think we need?"

"I am not very sure. Right now, the Ardagan Family has four Grandmasters. The top powerhouse is still Dimitri, but Noel and Anna are extremely powerful. Sending a few ordinary grandmasters would be useless. Howard's strength might not be high, but he was the vice captain of the former Ardagan Family. His commanding ability far surpasses his combat ability.

"Also, they have Saintess Layla and Aurelia. Aurelia is known for her overwhelming ability, so killing two Superior Demons by herself might be possible, especially with Layla taking care of her protection. Layla is enough to stop a few Superior Demons with her barrier. And it's most likely that she will cover the entire city with the barrier, leaving only the already-built wall to counter our attacks."

"The Demon Banner Army?" Laufey frowned.

"I expect them to give some help. I'm planning to have Alexander make them busy. While we can stop a lot of captains and Oscar, they will definitely send one or two captains to help Noel."

"In that case, they have a total of eight grandmasters. But Noel and Anna are severely injured, right?"

"Don't underestimate them. Even with that kind of injury, they should have no problem killing one or two Superior Demons together. Besides, do you think that's the only connection he has?"

"What do you mean?"

"I am talking about the Tower Association or maybe other external allies that the former Ardagan Family has."
