The two of us stood atop a cliff and glanced down at a massive estate below us.
Tens of mansions merged into one, and a garden that was as big as a small village.
"So this is the Loreta estate."
I nodded.
"It's pretty big, isn't it?"
"Mmm... It's definitely not small. Though, are you sure that starting off with Duchess Loreta is a good idea? She seems like one of the more important people on that list."
"She's one of the worst, yes. Though, the faster we strike the ones at the top, the less time they'll have to reinforce their defenses."
I pointed at the estate.
"Duchess Loreta was responsible for sending resources to the demons in this part of the continent. Because of her immeasurable wealth, she was basically like the demons' main sponsor. They protected her with their lives."
And so, she, just like a couple hundred more nobles, was among the biggest thorns in humanity's side.
"I see... Then I'm guessing we're not holding back this time either?"
"We're not."
