Chapter 667 Speculation

"Is that possible?" Historia looked at them with a worried expression.

Paul thought for a moment and said, "It's possible. In fact, that's the reason we are here. We can even a.s.sist you in bringing the medicine around. With our squad, it's impossible for the demons to crush us that easily. In exchange, you have to tell us everything and do one thing for us."

"I understand." Historia nodded. She opened the map of the region and pointed at five cities, including the one they were in. "These are the five cities that are under attack. From our observation, there are approximately four thousand demons attacking this base alone.

"As for the others, their situation might not be as bad as this place, but they still have to fight at least one thousand demons. It's hard for a small group to handle that kind of number."

"This situation has been going on for three days. And currently, there are around thirty Peak Level Demons surrounding the city, and more importantly, there is a Superior Demon."

"It launched a sneak attack on the captain not long ago, injuring him. So, our morale is a bit lower at the moment. If we have your medicine, we can increase their morale to a certain level."

"Last but not least, we don't know about the source of this attack. Although we have been guarding this place for two years, this is the first time there has been a swarm like this."

"At first, the demon activity increased to a disturbing level. So, we have to report the situation to the captain, resulting in him coming back to this place."

"We haven't found anything during our investigation. And the only thing we know is that the demon attack seems to be extremely organized."

"!!!" Paul widened his eyes in shock as he couldn't help but confirm it. "Do you mean there is a powerful demon that schemes against us?"

"No. It's because we are one of the s.h.i.+elds of the Demon Banner Army that we know the Demons aren't that aggressive. It's true that we are at the border, but demons rarely come to our base."

"Even if they come, they will be disorganized. There will only be a few types of demons coming as if they are a tribe. So, this kind of organized attack is a bit suspicious. We are expecting there might be something that disturbs the demon"

Noel furrowed his eyebrows. He had an idea in his mind. On the other hand, Rose was glancing at Noel's expression.

She could easily find a clue from his expression since there weren't many things that could become a reason.

Rose raised her hand and asked, "Paul. What do you think if this is organized by the Supreme Devil Organization?"

"Hmm?" Paul frowned, not understanding her way of thinking. "I can understand if you have a grudge against the Supreme Devil Organization, but currently, there is not a single clue of what's really happening, right? So, even if they are the enemies of humanity, we still can't put the blame on them. At least, not right now since we have to find the true source of the problem."

Rose had expected this, so she immediately explained. "No, there might be a clue Do you remember our expedition? That chaos"

"Yeah, the demons suddenly became crazy, causing a mess to our expedition." Paul nodded with a serious expression before gasping. "Are you saying that the Supreme Devil Organization is using this trick to cause a problem?"

"Yes. I don't know what's the reason, but with how the demons are fighting like this I'm afraid that the Supreme Devil Organization has succeeded in controlling a powerful demon. I don't think it's complete control, but even some influence can force a Superior Demon to come out."

"A Superior Demon has an amazing brain, so it's possible for the Superior Demon to organize the demons. I'm afraid this is the Supreme Devil Organization tactic. Influence the top and let them do the rest."

Paul couldn't really rebuke her despite her idea being wild. At the same time, another question appeared in his mind. "In that case, why did the organization attack the Demon Barrier Squad?"

Historia raised her voice, answering that question. "Is it because our captain was at the headquarter, training the apprentice knights? With the lack of a leader, they thought they could destroy our squad. Unlike most squads, our headquarters are also near the border where many demons reside. So, we are a perfect target"

They wanted to deny this fact, but the reason made some sense. In the end, they couldn't dismiss this reason.

"Well, whatever the reason, our job doesn't change. We are going to distribute the medicine and escort the medicine to other cities. In exchange, I hope that you can provide us with food and water since we have forsaken our supply for medicine," said Paul.

"Of course. We are going to do our best to give you everything you need. We are already grateful enough for the medicine." Historia nodded.

"Good." Paul nodded.

Even though there were a lot of things they discussed, Noel surprisingly remained silent the whole time.

His hand was supporting his chin all the time as he fell into deep thought.

'The Supreme Devil Organization I don't think that's all there is to it. I'm afraid that the situation is more complicated than we originally thought. There is also a Superior Demon. If the Supreme Devil Organization has organized this attack, it means they are using the Superior Demon to stop Captain Faust. And there might be a few Devil Bishops that will come to attack us'

I still have Damian as my trump card, but I'm afraid that I would go broke if I don't do something.' Noel's expression darkened.

Like Noel thought, the situation became more complicated than everyone thought. In fact, even Noel wouldn't expect that there were three influences that were connected to this incident: the Supreme Devil Organization, the Demon Banner Army, and the Royal Family.
