System vs Rebirth

"Uoohhh!"

The soldiers cheered. They had heard about the rumor of the rune weapons. It was one of the biggest reasons for Noel to defend his city despite being surrounded by a hundred thousand demons.

Obviously, the ceremony wasn\'t attended only by the people from the Demon Banner Army. The spies from various factions immediately sent back the information.

The ones who reacted the most were definitely the royal palace.

"What? They have truly made a transfer of technology?" The king gritted his teeth.

Duke Raymond frowned. "This way, the Tower Association won\'t be able to do anything even if they claim it. After all, it\'s not in their jurisdiction anymore. By splitting the technology, the Tower Association or even us won\'t have the chance to seize it anymore.

"What is the situation over there? Where is Anna heading next? I know that she won\'t stop there."

"She… she is heading to the Moon Temple."

"!!!" Duke Raymond was so shocked that he subconsciously stood up. "If they also use the Moon Temple…"

Another noble muttered, "The Moon Temple might be neutral, but the Moon Temple is actually helping the Ardagan family. If the Moon Temple is helping them, it\'ll be hard for us to do anything against them."

Duke Raymond\'s expression was dark. He was fully aware of what kind of effect it would bring.

"We need to stop her from reaching the Moon Temple!"

They gritted their teeth. It seemed they had no choice but to deploy the hidden men they had prepared to kill Anna Stargaze.

As if knowing what was happening, the king said, "Don\'t move recklessly."

"What? We need to move fast, Your Majesty."

The king waved his hand. "Look at the map. Don\'t you see that the Demon Banner Army has been adjusting their position? Look at the Moon Temple!"

Duke Raymond trembled and took another look at the situation. It was true that the Demon Banner Army had been moving their positions. And the Moon Temple should be aware of what was going on, or Noel Ardagan might have informed them about it.

It was at this moment that he realized that the entire plan was actually a trap. If they made a move, the people they sent would die. Anna would receive them while they were getting pincered by the Moon Temple and the Demon Banner Army.

Knowing Noel\'s relationship with the Greenwood Kingdom, there was a high chance the Greenwood Kingdom would attack them as well.

Duke Raymond trembled. He had almost fallen into their traps. It was not a very obvious trap, but he didn\'t expect the king to figure out their plan.

Duke Raymond frowned and said, "This plan… It\'s almost perfect."

"Duke Raymond. Are you implying that we can still attack them?"

"Indeed. If you take a look at it, harming the Moon Temple will lead to other kingdoms starting an aggression. At the same time, fighting the Greenwood Kingdom is the last thing we want to do right now. However, no one can say the same for the Demon Banner Army."

"!!!"

They all turned to the Demon Banner Army. One of them said, "That\'s true. While the Demon Banner Army is trying to help the Ardagan family, they\'re not stretching out their force far enough. If we can actually force them to remain, they\'ll definitely stop, allowing our troops to sweep in from their direction."

"In that case, how are we going to do it?"

"We should make the Tower Association and the Supreme Devil Organization put pressure on the back of the Demon Banner Army. The Demon Banner Army will have no choice but to divert some of their force to that front, which will allow us to sweep in."

"If we can kill Anna Stargaze, we should be able to deal a devastating blow to the Ardagan family, especially since we know that Noel Ardagan is madly in love with her. By taking her out, there\'s a high chance he will do something reckless."

"When that happens, we will have enough reason to take him down."

Duke Raymond looked at the king while saying, "Your Majesty. I believe we should do it this way. Our priority should be Anna Stargaze\'s death. It\'s true that it\'ll create a lot of trouble, especially with Kevin Stargaze, but this is the only way. While Marquis Stargaze is still occupied with his successor, we should kill his daughter."

The king frowned and said, "Are you sure we should do this? What if we fail?"

Duke Raymond squinted his eyes. It was true that they had been suffering a lot in Noel\'s hand. If they lost this time again, there was a high chance they couldn\'t do anything for the next few months.

During that time, Noel would advance his technology even further and gain more allies. The Supreme Devil Organization would most likely step away for a bit to recover from their loss. No one could predict what would happen if the Tower Association suffered big damage.

The king didn\'t want to take such a high risk because there was a chance that Noel wanted this to happen.

"We should be decisive. If we wait, we might lose them." Duke Raymond tried to persuade the king.

Other nobles were also thinking the same thing. If Anna reached the Moon Temple, it would be over.

The king gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fine. Mobilize our elites! Eliminate Anna Stargaze at all costs."

The king looked frustrated because if they let Noel do this, the consequences would be quite immense as well.

Little did he know that the opponent this time was not only Noel. Yes, the Demon Banner Army, especially Oscar, was ready to show why he was the best in a defensive battle.
