System vs Rebirth - Chapter 1369

"I see." Oscar looked down, contemplating. Milfa was quite surprised on the side, staring at a prostitute. Although Noel could go here, he didn't really want to make a big fuss for the time being, so he had to use Harley's connection to send the message.

In the end, the manager of the brothel located in this fort was sent to deliver the message.

"He really wants to organize such a group?"

"Yes." She nodded. "Unfortunately, I can't provide any more information than this since I'm here just to deliver the message."

Oscar glanced at Milfa. On the one hand, if Milfa became a spirit transcendence, it would certainly become a big boost for the Demon Banner Army. With the demonic humans running rampant, they had no choice but to resort to spirit transcendence or someone who had found their transcendent path.

However, among the captains in the Demon Banner Army, only two people had their transcendent path. They were the Demon Exterminator Group Captain Shale and the Demon Spear Group Captain David. David was already old, so there was a high chance he couldn't reach spirit transcendence rank.

That was why he had been training Shale as his successor. On the other hand, Milfa had that talent, but Shale was still more suitable.

In addition, this was the first time he heard about the secret of transcendence. It didn't seem Noel was talking about the transcendent path.

What he didn't know was that he had fused together with his spirit, so there was a change in understanding between him and other spirit transcendences, which resulted in this information.

At the same time, this shortcut had a flaw, which ended up ruining their foundation, stopping them from reaching a higher rank in the future.

Milfa clenched her fists. "Commander. Please allow me to join that group."

"Milfa?" Oscar raised his eyebrows.

"I know I'm not going to become the future commander, nor do I intend to have that seat.

"However, if I go with them, I still have the chance to become a spirit transcendence. This will definitely help the Demon Banner Army a lot. With the fact that the Duke Lorelei is going to become one himself, I'm assuming the royal family is planning to retain the Marshal as well. If we want to balance the power, I have to become a spirit transcendence as well.

"Besides, this will be a good way to form a connection with the Ardagan family. We don't know about the demon invasion, but the Tower Association is unstable. That's why, if we don't have more strength, I'm afraid the Demon Banner Army won't be able to face anything that's about to come.

"That's why, please allow me to go." Milfa looked as if she had gathered her resolve.

Oscar pinched the bridge of his nose before asking, "Where are they planning to meet?"

"It will be one week from now. The location is north of the Ardagan family territory. However, they're aiming to go northwest. That's all the information I have."

Oscar nodded. "Fine. I will allow you to go. Do your best. I hope you can become one the moment you return. Well, Dimitri is going as well, right? Might as well return with an engagement ring."

"W-Wha—?" Milfa was taken aback. "Engagement ring? What are you talking about?"

"Do you think I don't know you've been staring into space often ever since you came back from helping out a while ago?" Oscar snorted. "A certain person must have influenced your mind with that kind of thing. No need to think about it, just do it."

"You… You… I don't care. I'm just going to prepare." Milfa harrumphed and exited the room.

…

Meanwhile, Dimitri was also facing the same problem. Leysha nodded in understanding. "I see. That's indeed a good idea. I have enough understanding to become a spirit transcendence. As long as I have enough spiritual energy, I can advance to the spirit transcendence rank.

"And this time, who will go with me?" Leysha asked.

"If everything goes well, it will be Master Noel's retainer, Incetta, who is currently the head of our navy, Moon Temple's Saintess Layla, and Demon Banner Army's Demon Adjudicator Captain Milfa."

"You're not going?" Leysha frowned.

"No. I'm going."

"Heh…" Leysha had a mischievous smile on her face when she heard Dimitri and Milfa would be going.

"I'm here to inform you and hear your answer, Madam."

"I see." Leysha nodded in understanding. "How long is the trip?"

"According to Master, one year. Whether we succeed or not, one year is the limit."

"That's going to be hard…" Leysha looked down, falling into deep thought.

"Hmm?" Dimitri was confused.

"This is hard. There's no way you can become a spirit transcendence rank expert in just three months."

"Three months? It's one year, Madam, not three months."

"Did I stutter?" Leysha harrumphed.

"No. I'm just confused. Why did you say three months? I said multiple times it's a year. One year. Twelve months."

"Of course, it's three months. Because for the other nine months, you are going to…" Leysha grinned. Her right hand made an 'O' shape, while her left hand had its forefinger pointing toward the other hand. Then she moved it inside, implying what she was talking about. "Nine months."

"…" Dimitri was dumbfounded. "Madam… Are you seriously saying that? Also, Madam, can you be less vulgar? You are a noble daughter and also have been a noble for a long time, so…"

"Heh? Do you think you are the only one allowed to push me to my dear husband? I can do it too."

"Milfa and I are not like that!" Dimitri stood up.

"I didn't say any name, you know?" Leysha smirked as she had gotten him.

Dimitri opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat.

"Hehehe. I have to thank Laufey for teaching me this back then." Leysha crossed her arms. "Though it doesn't seem you are oblivious to the situation as well."

Dimitri scratched the back of his head. "Let's talk about this later, once everything has settled down. I need your answer, Madam."

"Fine." Leysha pouted. "I'm in."
