Two weeks later.
The group arrived at a city located northwest of the Demon Banner Army headquarters. The city was called Limebridge Town.
It might be a bit far from the border, but it was at the very center of the border. They could easily dispatch the soldiers to any front.
The reason why this town was called Limebridge was due to the bridge, made of limestone, located outside the city.
The city was built near a cliff. Its sides were surrounded by farmlands, leaving only one entrance which had a river spanning over thirty meters. This was the river that gave life to the entire area.
The bridge was made to connect the land and the city.
This city was governed by a baron called Baron Gilbert. The baron had a mutual relationship with the Demon Relief Squad. These two never interfered with each other. The Demon Relief Squad gave them a good place to live while the baron governed it well.
It was a peaceful city, perfect for the Demon Relief Squad.
They arrived at the Demon Relief Squad's headquarters which was located in the west. The area might be only a tenth of the Demon Hunting Squad, but it was enough for their storage and small training area.
They reached the administration building where Captain Clara was supposed to do her work.
"Alright. I'll tell the captain about it. The rest of you can get some rest. Since Iadre is new here, someone should guide him around," said Paul while opening the door. He didn't wait for anyone's reply as he just entered the building, knowing the rest would take care of themselves properly.
They exchanged looks for a moment and Rose immediately volunteered. "I'll take care of Iadre. But before that, we should go to our lodging house."
They agreed with the suggestion and immediately moved southwest of the administration building. There was a big building in the center where most soldiers stayed. This building was surrounded by a few cabin houses that could host ten to fifteen people each easily.
"The biggest one is the main barrack where most knights and workers live. When you reach Tenth Squad or below, you can get one of these houses for the group to live in. It gives a lot of privacy and space to bond with your team." Rose introduced the buildings while the rest took care of the admission.
After a while, they asked Noel and Rose to follow them to one of the houses to put their luggage down.
But there was one thing bothering Rose this whole time. Noel had been frowning a lot recently.
Noel had been dodging her questions the entire time, making her worried. But the matter must be a secret, so she couldn't really demand Noel to explain everything.
What Noel was thinking about was the warning Igor gave to him.
"The blaze is everywhere: the kingdom, the army, and even the tower. I can smell it, the big blaze that will envelop this kingdom and spread its poison to the others."
"…" Noel looked down, contemplating. Igor didn't seem to be lying. So, it meant he had sensed the incoming chaos that would envelop the entire kingdom and affect the neighboring kingdoms.

Igor might not look smart, but his senses were sharp according to others' descriptions of him. The way he looked at the world was different from everyone else.
According to Igor, there would be conflict everywhere. Noel believed the blaze meant the fight.
The kingdom meant the Royal Family and the nobles, including the Arbiters. He could somehow believe that the Royal Family, the nobles, and even the Arbiters might have spies from the Supreme Devil Organization.
But he was quite surprised that the Demon Banner Army also had one. Seeing how Igor looked at them equally, it meant the spy in the Demon Banner Army had a high position that could be equal to that of an Arbiter. In other words, a captain.
As for the Tower Association, he didn't have much information about them, so he couldn't get any conclusion.
Still, he didn't believe that Igor's sense was that sharp to the point he could predict something. So, he thought Igor might not be as foolish as he thought he was.
'Does that mean Igor is affiliated with someone? Since he's close with the commander, then is it the commander? He's putting on a fool front to make others underestimate him and strike them when they don't expect him.'
Noel was trying to figure out the situation. There were simply too many possibilities like Igor being a spy and trying to confuse him.
In the end, he left the house after putting down his luggage. Rose was accompanying him, but the latter actually asked for a deserted place.
Rose didn't understand what he meant but still guided him around. They ended up leaving the town for a bit and made their way to the farmland.
There was a thick forest next to the farmland, so they were using that place to hold a meeting.
Noel had been raising his arm since earlier as if he was trying to do something. Rose was confused, but all her doubts were answered the moment Dimitri appeared before them.
There was a pool of shadows that emerged from the ground like a fire.
"!!!" Rose sensed that fluctuation of Spiritual Energy and hurriedly positioned herself in front of Noel, trying to block any threat.
She didn't expect the shadow to rise from the ground and form a humanoid figure as if it was a human from the start.
And Noel placed his hand on her shoulder to assure her that this was what he had been doing the whole time.
Yes, Noel actually called upon Dimitri. The latter had told him that he didn't want to help him too much when he was still growing, but the situation was worse than Noel thought, so he had to ask him.
The shadow gradually revealed his appearance as he bowed to Noel, greeting him. "Young Master."
"It's been a while, Dimitri. Let's cut to the chase… I need your help."
