System vs Rebirth-Novel

"Alright. It's time to spread." Igor stood on top of their wall while looking at the horizon. He could see numerous hunters waiting for his call.

As soon as he gave the order, the people who were holding flags raised blue flags, signaling those on the ground to start moving.

Seeing those guys spreading in all directions, Igor couldn't help but recall their conversation.

"Alright. This is the plan we'd like to suggest…" Rose paused for a moment as she used her ability to create an illusion on top of the map. There were several pieces on the top: ugly-looking demons, a castle, humanoid figures, and a few circles.

"We believe that the Supreme Devil Organization is currently watching every movement of this base from somewhere.

"Hence, we're going to spread all the people here to find them." Rose gave her plan with confidence.

Even Igor, who wasn't used to fighting with his mind, couldn't help but feel confused. "If we spread our people, won't they notice us and make a run for it?"

"Of course. They will do something like that. If this were another squad, I wouldn't propose such an idea. But the Demon Hunting Squad is different, right?"

Igor fell silent for a moment while the guy with slanted eyes asked, "Are you implying that we're going to find them from their trail?"

"!!!" Igor understood what she wanted in that instant. He murmured, "The Demon Hunting Squad is adept in hunting demons. But in order to hunt one, we have to find this demon by following the trails. Although we are the rough bunch, it doesn't change the fact that tracking is our base training.

"Even without our mind, it's easy to track those people as long as we follow their trails." Igor narrowed his eyes, still feeling a bit unconvinced about the plan.

Rose took this opportunity to fill in the missing link. "We're going to spread all the people at once and at a very high pace. The Demon Observer Squad might be good at careful investigation, but what we need right now is speed.

"The Demon Hunting Squad can sniff their trails in an instant and chase after them. So, if we startle them with this, they won't be able to cover their trails since they have to run."

Igor nodded in understanding. "And that's where we come in."

"Yes. I want the Demon Hunting Squad to send the signal and we'll focus the people on that area."

"Then, it's better to send a smoke signal since it will be easily seen."

"No." Rose shook her head. "If we use the smoke signal, the enemy will be able to see it too. Unlike people from the Demon Banner Army, the Supreme Devil Organization can simply leave their people behind if that will endanger them. That's why we'll be using the flag."

"Flag?"

"Yes. By using flags, we can let the people from the wall see them. This way, we can find which one finds the trail."

"I see." Igor looked down for a moment. "We don't have much problem with the flag, since we have a lot of Demon Banner Army flags."

"That's good. In that case, we can use those." Rose nodded, feeling satisfied with the condition.

"Still, how do you know that the Supreme Devil Organization is still around?"

Rose paused for a moment. She wanted to glance at Noel because he was the one who provided the answer.

She recounted the answer he had prepared and told him with confidence.

"We captured a Supreme Devil Organization member. Since he was a Spirit Master, his rank shouldn't be so low.

"I'm pretty sure your subordinates have told you about the incident, so I'll just cut to the chase. With them operating near the Count, I'm sure that they have to put a watch on this base.

"After all, the biggest problem would be you making a move. Thus, the reason why I suspect them to be around here.

"With that guy getting captured, they won't hear the information anytime soon. And they can only confirm it after seeing us entering your base… Since they aren't sure yet if we actually found their person or not, it'll take time for them to confirm it, giving us enough time to hit them.

"We believe that the Supreme Devil Organization was the culprit of the last attack you suffered.

"Hence, it wouldn't feel bad to mess with them, right?" Rose smirked.

Igor looked down, thinking about her answer. Even though he wasn't good in this area, everything she told him was pretty simple and easy to understand.

He agreed with her since he wanted to pay back if there was a mastermind in the last attack. They suffered a lot after all.

If the Supreme Devil Organization was behind this, they had to hit them as hard as possible.

Igor thought for a moment and glanced to the side, asking the opinion of his subordinates.

Surprisingly, all of them agreed. Even Richard confirmed their abilities, so there was no need to underestimate their plans.

After pondering a lot, Igor finally agreed with their plan. "Alright. I'll mobilize my people. However, what if they're not around here? And it's just you who wants to mess around with me?"

Igor was just afraid that they didn't like how he behaved earlier, especially recruiting Noel that they had to play tricks with him.

This was when Noel stepped up by stating, "If that's the case, then you can consider we are even. You don't have to fulfill the bet anymore."

A promise from a captain was enormous. It was simply priceless since there were only a few people whose strengths were higher.

They managed to show their credibility and determination by making Noel bet on that favor.

Igor looked into Noel's eyes for a moment before agreeing to this plan.

"Alright. You've got the full support of my Demon Hunting Squad. If the situation is truly the case, I'll welcome you once again to the Demon Hunting Squad." Igor nodded and ordered, "Call all squads to start moving."
