Chapter 445 Reaching The City

Outside the city.

"We have spotted them!" Zion shouted while returning to his group.

Paul and the others looked at him, wondering what was going on.

"What's happening right now, Zion? Where are they?"

"They're attacking the city ahead. Currently, the city manages to hold back the demons. And the Demon Hunting Squad has begun their hunt in order to relieve some pressure. After all, the city is not built to hold off the demons."

Paul nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Looking at the city's location, the Demon Hunting Squad and the baron's city are the ones to hold the attack."

"Yes. Luckily, the Count was visiting the city and he brought some soldiers that managed to bolster their defense. So, we should hasten our pace to help the Demon Hunting Squad."

"Hmm" Rose looked down, contemplating. It seemed that the situation wasn't that bright in her eyes. "What about the Count? Is he leaving the city?"

"I'm not sure. Even the Demon Hunting Squad can't see anything. They told me to bring all of you to sweep the demons in a clockwise direction since this is the best method to handle the situation." Zion shook his head helplessly. He didn't enter the city earlier, so he truly had no idea about the current situation.

"If that's the case, we'll a.s.sist the Demon Hunting Squad for the time being. We'll send someone inside to check the situation and report about our arrival." Rose explained her plan.

"Then, who will go there? Zion?" Paul glanced at Zion.

But before Zion nodded his head, Noel raised his hand. "I'll go. Zion will be a good messenger, but the current situation doesn't allow us to delay for too long. In that case, it's better for me to go to the city. I can talk to their captain and bring the message to the Count. I'm the weakest among you and it's only been three months since I joined the squad, so my teamwork is still not as good as all of you."

"If we're talking about the weakest, then I'm the weakest." Rose narrowed her eyes.

"But your ability is essential in a battle like this." Noel shook his head. There was a reason why he wanted to enter the city.

Anna was planning to find a clue about the Count, so he knew he had to play a part here. If he could find the Count and buy some time for her, she would accomplish her mission.

And after some consideration, Paul nodded his head. "Fine. Iadre will go. The rest will handle the demons."

"Understood." Stella and the others accepted it without hesitation. Meanwhile, Jonathan, who was already aware of Iadre's real ident.i.ty, wondered why Noel suggested this.

Noel was shrewd. He was already aware of that after seeing his performance in the valley and how he orchestrated his death. So, he knew Noel had an ulterior motive.

Unfortunately, there was no way he could see through Noel's plot since he didn't consider Anna in his plan.

In the end, Noel got permission and the group continued heading toward the city.

It took them another thirty minutes before they reached the city.

There were close to one thousand demons surrounding the city. A part of the wall had been destroyed by a few Peak Level Demons. And it seemed the Demon Hunting Squad were doing their best to stop all the rampaging Peak Level Demons.

But it ended up allowing the rest of the demons to attack the wall.

"Let the Demon Hunting Squad take care of the Peak Level Demons. We'll clear up the rest!" Paul shouted.

"Oh!" They nodded with serious faces.

"Will you give me a lift?" Noel shouted at Jonathan.

Jonathan nodded and raised his hand, using his Telekinesis to push Noel to the top of the wall.

"Go!" Jonathan shouted. This time, his gloomy tone changed to a familiar one as if he had known him.

With just that one shout, Noel could feel that Jonathan seemed to have noticed his real ident.i.ty. Unfortunately, there was no time to talk since he had to handle the situation on top of the wall.

As soon as he landed on the top, the soldiers took steps back. They were startled to see someone coming up.

At first, they wanted to attack him since that was what they had done this whole time, but they stopped after realizing it wasn't a demon.

"Woo" The soldiers wanted to shout, but Noel shouted first, stating clearly. "I'm Iadre from the Demon Banner Army. I need to see your commander. Where is he?!"

It seemed he was lucky since the commander was actually near him.

"I'm the commander!" A deep voice resounded on the wall, getting everyone's attention.

Noel turned around and found a middle-aged man with a long mustache. He said, "I'm Iadre from the Demon Relief Squad. I want you to start moving half of your soldiers to the right side as soon as the soldiers see the demons decreasing down there. My squad is clearing everything right now while the Demon Hunting Squad stops the Peak Level Demon!"

"Why should I follow your command? This is our city, I'm the one in control here. Do you think I'm giving my order without any thought in mind?" The commander didn't like it since their squad was late and many of his soldiers had died.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, a demon suddenly climbed the wall and pounced on him.

"Dem!" The soldiers wanted to shout, but Noel skillfully waved his sword, hitting the demon in the face. The sword didn't seem to cut the demon, but soon, an explosion occurred, blasting the demon into smithereens. And with that kill, Noel said coolly, "I'm the weakest one in the squad."

"." The commander was dumbstruck when he saw Noel's overwhelming strength. And yet, he claimed he was the weakest. It was clear that the squad was going to kill all the demons in rapid succession.

He changed his opinion in an instant as he turned around, ordering his soldiers, "We're moving the soldier from the right side to the left side."
