Chapter 595 New Mission

"…" No one reacted to her words. They all had grim expressions as if they had prepared themselves.

Clara was satisfied with their expressions and finally revealed the mission.

"A request came to us a month ago. And it was a serious request because it involved a lot of people. Even the matter itself was something that I couldn't believe."

"May we know the matter, Captain? I think it's better to explain everything first instead of leaving us in this suspense," asked Paul. "We all have rested enough, so we should be able to go without any problems."

"The request came from the Demon Extermination Squad, specifically their Captain, Shale. He requests us to assist him in killing some demons and restoring a certain facility."

"Facility?" They were confused. Although they were good at construction, they had to understand what the facility was before doing any construction. If they couldn't understand it, they wouldn't take the job.

And with Clara saying it in this way, they couldn't help but think the facility was something beyond their ability.

Clara sighed. "That's the problem. We are going to work together with the Tower Association. It seems the facility is related to the mysterious facility outside the border.

"Currently, the Demon Extermination Squad and two Elders from the Tower Association have been stationed there, waiting for further action."

"What?" Paul widened his eyes as he immediately asked for confirmation. "Outside the border… Are you telling us that the facility we are going to work with is the mysterious facility left by the previous civilization?!"

"Yes. We still don't know anything about the facility and its purpose, so we can only go there first to confirm it."

"If that's the case, aren't we supposed to work with more experts?" Paul narrowed his eyes.

This was Noel's first experience with the mysterious facility, so he didn't know what he should say.

Seeing Noel's confusion behind his mask, Rose explained, "We once took a mission like this in the past. Back then, Jonathan, Ben, and I were still not in the Zero Squad. Even Captain Clara was still the Vice Captain back then.

"But that mysterious facility was basically a demon den. When we explored the facility to learn more, we were ambushed by a lot of demons. The previous captain was severely injured and was forced to retire. Four members of the Zero Squad died."

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. He never thought that the facility was that dangerous. It seemed that due to that accident, Clara was forced to become the captain of the Demon Relief Squad. That loss must have devastated her to the point she became this strong.

Even Paul, who was a new member at that time, trained tirelessly until he reached his current position.

That was why they couldn't underestimate this mysterious facility.

They are working with the Tower Association and the Demon Extermination Squad this time. The Demon Extermination Squad might be good at killing demons, but there was a chance that they wouldn't find any ambush hiding nearby. And that ambush would attack the people at the rear.

This was why they didn't know whether they should take this mission or not. On the one hand, the mysterious facility was a huge discovery. On the other hand, if they didn't move carefully, they would incur a massive loss.

Noel looked down, wondering if he could get a mission from Ardagan.

It seemed that there was not enough information to create a mission. So, he wondered if Anna knew anything about this.

'Now that I think about it…' Noel fell silent as if he had realized something.

After a while, Noel asked, "Captain… Are you going with us?"

"Of course. The mysterious facility and the joint operation require a lot of experts. I have to go there personally… So yeah, we are going to move together this time."

"If that's the case, can we know who the Tower Association sent this time? Will the noble faction get involved as well?"

Clara shook her head. "The nobles won't get involved in this. Unless we find something they can't ignore, they will wait from the sidelines. As for the Elders from the Tower Association… they seem to be sending the Plant Lord and Stone Lord."

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. He couldn't help but remember the three names that the Water Lord thought to be involved with the Supreme Devil Organization.

The Fire Lord was related to Countess Christina. In fact, he chose Countess Christina because he knew the Countess would inform her teacher. If he was involved, the Supreme Devil Organization would surely get involved.

Although he didn't get the proof yet, he suspected that the Fire Lord was indeed cooperating with the Supreme Devil Organization.

And this time, he would work together with the Plant Lord. He had to see whether the Plant Lord was involved with them or not. He once solved a problem related to an extinct plant, so he still believed that the Plant Lord was an enemy.

The fact that there would be a spy among them made Noel frown. After all, the entire mission would surely become extremely dangerous.

With how the Supreme Devil Organization was trying to exterminate their squad, it wouldn't be weird if those people tried to wipe out the Demon Relief Squad in this operation.

Noel looked down for a moment, falling into deep thought. He asked, "I know that it's not my place to ask this. But can we receive more reinforcement? At the very least, the Demon Beholder Squad and their captain have to be involved…"

Clara frowned before glancing at Paul. Paul said, "He was often like this and his prediction was usually right. I think we can believe him."

Clara thought for a moment. "Well, this is a mysterious facility. To avoid a loss like the last expedition, it's better to involve Septa and his squad to search for ambushes or hidden items. I can try requesting their help. Are there more requests, Iadre… No, I think all the people here already know… So, Noel, what do you want?"
