System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1537: Unexpected Return

A moment ago.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The demons started to appear in the north. The soldiers couldn't help but gasp.

"So many demons…"

"How many are they?"

"Tens of thousands? No, I think it's more than that!"

"In the hundreds?"

"We only have 10,000. There's no way we can fight that many."

Grandel and the others panicked. Anna, who had returned to the ship, couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows.

"This situation looks worse than I originally expected. There are three ancient demons among them." Anna squinted her eyes.

"What?" Grandel gasped. "Three ancient demons…"

"They are planning to force me to stay here." Anna realized that if she couldn't get away from here, she couldn't help Noel.

After learning about the existence of another demon king, she realized their true goal was the annihilation of the Ardagan family's troops. Even if Noel could escape, as long as they destroyed the army, it would be impossible to fight back if they invaded at full force.

To ensure that the position was not equal, Anna had to be stopped in the north. She couldn't go back to help Noel.

On the other hand, if she went back, the army in this place would be crushed by the demons, and the latter would continue until they reached the main army.

"Report! There is another army coming from the north. We're assuming they number 10,000. It is an unknown army. We know nothing about it." A soldier reported to Anna.

"Tell our people to fight alongside them. They might look weird, but they are our allies. There's no need to be confused. Just focus on attacking the demons and we will be good." Anna waved her hand. "That's the ally I brought earlier."

Grandel and the others were surprised, not expecting an ally to come. But they didn't know what kind of ally she was talking about.

There were supposed to be no armies that large moving in the wilderness after all.

They could see the dust cloud approaching from a distance.

On the battlefield, the buffalo tribe was rushing toward the demons.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

"Moo!"

"Moo!"

Both sides released their battle cries. A lot of demons turned around to handle the buffalo tribe, but this was the time for the buffalo tribe to show their might.

One buffalo-man struck the demon's body with his warhammer, unleashing a strength that wasn't losing to a demon of equal level. Another buffalo-man swung a big sword, cleaving a demon in two.

Other buffalo-people slaughtered the demons one-sidedly. They were simply unstoppable. They marched toward the deepest ranks of the demon army with overwhelming strength.

When Grandel saw the movement of the dust cloud, he couldn't help but say, "Impossible. I couldn't see the reinforcement, but it's extremely strong. They are breaking through the demon army so easily. What kind of army is it?"

Grandel thought the Ardagan family's army was the strongest, but compared to this army, Grandel knew how lacking they were.

"Report! Another army is marching toward us. According to our scout, they numbered 15,000."

"What?" Grandel was surprised. Even Anna didn't expect this reinforcement.

She didn't arrange this. Noel might arrange it, but he might not have told her about it, which was weird and didn't look like Noel's strategy at all.

"Who are they?" Anna asked.

The moment Anna asked that question, they all panicked. How could Anna, the commander of this army, not know that information?

They were screwed, except Raven was the one arranging this reinforcement.

"Please trust them, young lady." Raven politely answered.

"What do you mean? Explain yourself, Raven!"

"They are the reinforcements that I have brought. Well, not me personally…" Raven didn't continue further, but the meaning was clear.

"!!!" Anna only had one place in mind. This reinforcement might come from the Greenwood Kingdom, specifically a massive mercenary group.

They once mentioned that Luke Ardagan and Leysha Ezenholm had prepared an army in the form of a mercenary group.

She thought it would be a small group, but she never thought the mercenary group could bring out 15,000 people.

In other words, Luke Ardagan had begun moving.

Unfortunately, there was no spirit transcendence. She checked a couple of times, but the only spirit transcendence was her.

She could understand, considering it would be bad if Leysha made her appearance. It would show that the execution was fake.

However, the most shocking thing was the fact that she could sense another danger coming from the west.

"Something is coming. No, there are two presences. Strong ones. Two more ancient demons?" Anna frowned.

"Impossible. Thanks to the reinforcements, we should be able to take care of these demons as long as you lead us, milady. However, if there are two more ancient demons…" Grandel panicked.

Suddenly, two silhouettes leaped into the sky. The first one was a man. He exuded a black aura from his body.

"Dark Curtain!" The man waved his sword. The sword strike he released shot up to the sky like a curtain.

"Cratest Beam!" On his side was a woman. She clapped her hands and shot out a massive beam that incinerated numerous demons in its path.

Just attacking the demons alone had shown that they were not enemies.

However, Anna couldn't help but see them clearly due to her superior vision compared to the rest. Though, people like Raven could see what was going on just from their power. "That's…"

The man jumped toward the airship.

"Incoming."

"Stand down!" Anna shouted, stopping the soldiers from reacting. A figure soon stopped near the airship.

"Dimitri!" Raven gasped.

"It looks like the two of you have become one." Anna smiled.

"Milady. I apologize for being late. It took us so much time to find demons and reach the spirit transcendence rank. I and Milfa have returned. Please grant us the permission to help you."

Anna hurriedly commanded, "Grandel. You will now be in charge of the army. Work alongside all of them and crush the enemies. Use the airships' resources to stop the third ancient demon."

"Milady? Where are you going? You're not going to take down the last one?"

"Of course not. Their real aim is not us. They're aiming for our lord."

"!!!" Everyone looked shocked. It was clear this battlefield was important, so they had to hold the enemy with everything they'd got.

With that arrangement, Anna immediately leaped away, heading to Noel's main army.

She never thought Dimitri and Milfa were on their way home, but this was perfect. She might be able to stop the enemy's plan as long as she could reach Noel, and it looked like she did.
