By rule, the Devil's Army should not operate at night, nor should they operate in rainy weather.
But here they were, working arduously through the night, amid a deluge, within the mire of the Polluted Land.
There was no choice; it was an order.
According to officials from the rear, Lyra was facing an "immense crisis" at the moment, thus demanding greater action from the Devil's Army.
And for the majority of Devil Knights, they had no idea what the crisis actually entailed. Somewhat aloof from worldly affairs, their responses to the events unfolding in Lyra City were naturally dull, save for a vague awareness that Gerard had caused some trouble.

Suddenly, the Devil Knights' resentment toward Gerard reached new heights.
Especially during the day, more than one Devil Knight claimed to have seen Gerard's spectral visions still roaming the Polluted Land, including their commander Yuri.
