'Now, it's time for execution.' Noel shouted, "We'll begin our main attack!"

There was something that Qiel couldn't see from outside the wall. It was the fact that the other side of the wall had actually been modified.

When one took a look behind the wall, they would notice that there was a catapult directly attached to the top of the wall. They were so big that there was an additional structure to support them.

Roel had been working tirelessly to make this weapon successful as this was their main attack.

"Get ready!" The former captain of the mercenary group, Genez, shouted, informing the soldiers under his command to charge the main attacks.

After hearing Genez's story from Howard, he realized that he would be perfect to monitor these weapons. Since he wanted to kill a lot of demons and the Supreme Devil Organization, he would definitely do a great job to fulfill that wish.

The soldiers began to move toward the catapult and pour out the demon crystals.

On the catapult was actually a huge glass sphere made according to Felicia's instructions. They had the same property as Felicia's bottles, which contained all that unstable spiritual energy.

When the demon crystals entered the system, the spiritual energy from them started to get extracted into these glass spheres.

Once filled, Genez ordered out loud, "Fire!"

The springs were loosened as the catapults swung violently, launching the spheres into the sky.

"Huh?" Qiel couldn't help but raise her head, noticing the incoming balls. She didn't know what it was, but from the spiritual energy emanating from it, it was definitely something dangerous.

"Not good! Destroy it!" Qiel shouted in panic while pointing her arrow at it. At the same time, she noticed that Faust was also doing the same thing.

Several demons jumped into the sky, while others gathered their energy to shoot them down.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A series of massive explosions filled the air above the demons. The shock waves were so massive that they actually caused a huge mess in the demon's ranks. Most of the low level demons had a hard time stopping the shock wave and got blown away.

The other demons tried to use their abilities to form a barrier to block the shock wave, but they were coming from multiple directions, causing them to be unable to protect everything.

And this was only coming from the explosions in the air. What if these explosions reached the ground? The demons could picture themselves getting blasted into smithereens.

Qiel widened her eyes in shock. The blast actually killed a lot of demons, especially the ones that were trying to catch the spheres. They got knocked down to the ground so hard that their bodies were crushed.

However, these attacks didn't end there. Another volley of unstable energy flew into the sky.

"Shoot it. Shoot it before they reach us."

The demons were trying their best to shoot these spheres. This time, they had managed to actually destroy the incoming spheres before they were near them.

The problem was that because of her action and their wariness of this type of attack, Qiel ended up ordering all the long-

ranged demons to attack these spheres, meaning that the demons didn't actually support the other demons near the wall.

"Go!" Noel waved his hand down.

The flying squad once again flew into the sky. Instead of the flying beasts, they were actually looping around the city and releasing the bombs they carried in their backpacks. As for their destination, it was obvious.

The Water Lord, who was still controlling his elemental, noticed incoming allies from the sky. They dropped a lot of spheres from their bag, raining them down.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A lot of demons had their bodies obliterated by these bombs.

The two Superior Demons that kept him occupied couldn't help but realize what they were planning to do. The snail looped around, trying to shoot them down. However, the Water Lord controlled the green-colored elemental to slam its body into the snail.

"!!!" The snail fell down.

The snake, on the other hand, soared into the sky by taking advantage of its size. However, the blue water elemental grabbed the snake from behind and dragged it back to the water.

*Shaaa!*

The snake struggled, but there was nothing they could do as the flying squads killed a lot of them.

The bombardment continued as the flying squads tried to kill as many demons as possible.

These demons wondered what they should do currently.

Qiel widened her eyes in shock, realizing Noel's plan. 'So, that's how it is. He is sealing our long-ranged attack. To stop all the incoming spheres, I have to gather all those demons that are capable of releasing a long-range attack. And with this, there's no one who can stop the flying squads from obliterating the rest of the demons.

'No. He must want to kill the demons on the side so that those four Spirit Grandmasters could actually help the north wall. And if this continued, the Superior Demon I stationed over there would be killed too.

'No. The trigger must be that Duke! He actually killed three Superior Demons by using his True Spirit Body, and he was able to maintain that position for a bit longer. Even if he has exhausted his power, Milfa could easily protect that side by herself from the remaining demons.

'They are trying to force me to reinforce those sides to keep them at bay. But if I spread myself too thin, Noel would definitely use this to crush all the demons in the north side.'

Qiel panicked, realizing that she had fallen into his trap. 'What should I do? What can I do to resolve this situation? Commence a full scale attack on the wall? But that's not the original plan. If I do it right now, the soldiers still have a lot of energy left to defeat us.

'Then, should I send Laufey and the others? No. If I do that, it's going to be extremely hard for us to drag those people back to the battlefield, especially during the bombardment.

'We have to drag at least a few of them from those walls so that they stop the bombardment even for a moment.'

Qiel was trying to find an alternative so that the plans could work like they originally intended.

Noel didn't know Qiel's original intention. However, he did know that he simply had to kill at least fifty thousand demons so that Qiel wouldn't have enough demons left to pressure them. And he had to do it today.

Due to Qiel arriving midday, they only had several hours left before the sky turned dark. And at that time, it would be hard to locate the enemies and what they were planning to do.

It seemed that Qiel had planned the timing carefully. Noel made the assumption that Qiel's real plan came in the dark.

That was why they didn't have a lot of time left to destroy these demons. Duke Briton should have realized this and chose to light up a spark on the battlefield to progress it forward.

Qiel and Noel looked at each other, wondering what each other was thinking.

Noel wanted to kill the demons and force Qiel to send reinforcements to the other sides. On the other hand, Qiel had been stalling for a while. Before Duke Briton did anything, they only lost about seven thousand demons from all sides. While the number looked amazing at first glance, it was only less than ten percent of their total force.

Even if they continued until dusk, they would still have fifty thousand demons left, which was big enough for them to do something.

But because Duke Briton activated his True Spirit Body and Noel took advantage of that spark, they lost more than five thousand demons in just thirty minutes. The rate would definitely get even higher when the Water Lord, Paladin Aurelia, and Milfa came to the north wall.

'Think. Think. I have to think of a way to stop all this…' Qiel gritted her teeth, wondering how she could outsmart Noel.

Laufey and the other two Devil Saints had returned. Laufey asked, "Oi, old hag. What are we going to do next? Even though I am not adept at a large battlefield like this, I still know that we will lose if this keeps up."

"We have to find something… We need to stop them. What can we actually do to force her to stop?" Qiel ignored Laufey and kept muttering.

"Can we just launch an all-out attack now?" Another Devil Saint asked.

"No. Our original intention was to destroy the city. If possible, capture both Anna Stargaze and Noel Ardagan alive."

"Then, why don't we just lure them out if we want to capture them?" Laufey snarled.

"!!!" Qiel widened her eyes in shock as if she had gotten an idea from Laufey's remark. "What did you say?"

"Why don't we just lure them out if we want to capture them…" Laufey repeated his words, confused.

"That's right. We should lure them out. If they are leaving the city, the bombardment has no choice but to stop for a moment. The demons can surround them and weaken them. After that, we will destroy them… As for how to lure them…" Qiel looked around, wondering if they had something that could drag Noel out.

Qiel raised two fingers. "Laufey. Pass the message to the Superior Demons, especially the remaining demon tree. I have a new order."

Their expressions turned serious as they couldn't help but gasp, realizing the insanity of Qiel's plan. However, if they succeeded, they could definitely turn the battle around.

With that thought in mind, the remaining demon tree came forth and spread its branches as if it were trying to cover what Qiel and the others were planning to do.

"Hmm?!" Noel couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, feeling something was wrong.

"Noel. I feel like the threat are moving away… There are a lot of them moving toward… there…" Anna pointed to the northwest where the demons came from.

"Huh?" Noel looked shocked as if he couldn't believe what Qiel was planning to do.

"Are they retreating? Should we chase them? Or should we destroy all the demons here?"

Noel clenched his fists. "We should chase them."

"Chase them? What are they planning to do, Master?" Dimitri asked.

"Livia." Noel only dropped a single name, which became the biggest hint.

Anna instantly picked up and explained what she found. "Don't tell me, they are going to reinforce the demons that Damian keeps at bay. Are they going to fight the Greenwood Kingdom?"

"They have no choice. And by doing this, we have no choice but to stop them. And there should be a lot of demons and multiple Superior Demons that Damian stops. If they get all of them and add them to this army, it's going to be our loss."

"!!!" Anna and Damian shuddered. Anna shouted, "Then, send me out. I will definitely stop them."

Noel looked down, falling into deep thought.
