Chapter 458 Igor
After that discussion, Rose confirmed about the Supreme Devil Organization’s involvement and thought this was their entire plan. Of course, they never thought everything was Anna and Noel’s plan. However, they didn’t know about it, so everything seemed to be fine.
Anna had also taken care of the Count as well, so they finally had the time to deal with the repair.
Though, the group went to help with the baron’s soldiers too. It didn’t take too long for them to crush the demons, considering the normal army had taken out most of the enemies. But as expected from a regular army, they ended up with some casualties.
After talking about the situation, they immediately moved toward the bridge to repair it.
Now that there was no more threat, the Demon Relief Squad began to work. Richard and a few others from the Demon Hunting Squad offered their help. Meanwhile, people like Becky and Shawn, decided to not take part in it as they were too embarrassed to help them. Richard ultimately ordered them to be on the lookout, to which they agreed.
Richard and the rest brought all the stones and trees necessary for the repair. Meanwhile, Paul led his group to fix the bridge as soon as possible.
Normally, it would take a long time for the bridge to be fixed since normal humans had a hard time moving the materials around, let alone doing it while floating in the air.
But for the Demon Relief Squad, they ended up fixing the bridge in two days instead of months if normal humans worked on them.
Richard was grateful since it meant they could finally bring supplies to their base. After informing the baron that it was accessible again, Richard brought the Demon Relief Squad to their base to discuss their finding with their captain.
As soon as they finished their work, the two squads immediately headed to their base. ｂｅｄ𝚗ｏ𝚟𝚎𝚕.𝚌𝚘ｍ
The base didn’t have a tall wall. They weren’t big either.
The base was a square of only two hundred meters in length. It was supposed to hold a thousand people inside, so it was a bit too small, considering they still needed training areas.
The wall only reached up to seven meters. Even with the ditch, it didn’t seem to be over ten meters. Even Noel could easily reach the top with a single leap.
There seemed to be less than five soldiers on top of the wall. Multiplying it by four, they had less than twenty people to watch over the area. It looked like they were in pretty bad shape, considering some parts of the wall were still in the middle of the repair.
As soon as they saw Richard’s group, they seemed to inform the people in the town as they rang the bell in the city as if indicating someone had approached them.
Richard straightened his back as if he was going to meet an important person. This was the first time Richard looked so polite and restrained.
“…” Noel and the others were looking at each other, confused by the sudden change.
The atmosphere became tense as they gradually approached the gate.
Still, seeing how serious they were, Noel and the others decided to stay quiet while preparing for everything.
Though, the people didn’t seem to be planning to open their gate for them as they ended up reaching the gate first before they even lifted the gate.
But after one minute of standing still, they suddenly heard the clicking sound of chains as it was being pulled up. The gate also began to be lifted up as there were two feet behind the gate.
The feet were massive and it looked like the one standing behind the gate had a body bigger than anyone here.
The more the gate was raised, the more they could see how big the person was.
Rose eventually knew who the man was behind the gate as she whispered to Noel. “It seems we’re going to meet their captain directly.”
“Their captain?” Noel was confused at first since he couldn’t believe it when their captain met them like this. It made them look special since there was no way Clara would do the same.
“Yep. Just looking at that build, it should be him. The biggest human in the army, whose raw strength is said to be the strongest. The Demon Hunting Squad’s Captain, Igor.”
After that brief introduction, Richard pumped his fist before placing it on his chest. He slightly raised his head as if trying to match Igor’s stature.
Noel was quite surprised when the body was seen since it was truly far bigger than any of them. Even Paul, who was the biggest in the squad, looked tiny compared to him.
The guy looked to be over two meters. His body was filled with muscle to the brim. Even his arm had the same size as Noel’s head.
Noel could see his face soon after. Igor had short spiky black hair. He seemed to be growing his beard, but it didn’t cover his mouth at all and had been trimmed neatly.
Because of his giant body, his t-shirt didn’t have a sleeve and it looked so tight as the shirt was following his muscle lines.
Still, the most memorable thing Noel could see from him was his eyes. That pair of eyes were excluding fighting intent as if he was treating everything as his prey.
Their eyes met when Igor scanned the group and Noel could feel his body become tinier due to the pressure from him. He was the exact opposite of Clara.
A grin appeared on Igor’s face as he opened his mouth, saying in a cracked, deep voice. “It seems that we have visitors here.”
Richard bowed his head politely, followed by the others from the Demon Hunting Squad.
“We’re back, Sir.”
“Good work, Richard and all of you. It must be hard to deal with everything, so you should get some rest after this.” Igor paused for a moment before glancing at the people from the Demon Relief Squad. “Of course, after introducing these guys.”
