I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno, who had walked to the door on his own, looked at Phoebe, who was standing beside him, looking somewhat at a loss.

"I......"

Phoebe had barely opened her mouth when Anno shook her head.

"You're no good. Your talent is average, and your strength isn't great either. You'll likely die on the battlefield without even knowing how you died!"

Phoebe fell silent after hearing this.

She used to be just a petty thief in Gray City.

They spend all their time robbing the rich to help the poor.

Although she had a fairly good reputation among some of the poor, only she herself knew the truth.

A thief is a thief!

Once caught, there will be no further consequences.

But later Phoebe met Anno, and was then captured by the lord of Glad City and almost defiled.

After being rescued by Anno, he stayed by Laura's side.

The two were as close as sisters and were inseparable.

Now that she knows Laura is leaving with Anno, Phoebe suddenly feels lost and empty inside.

She suddenly realized that despite being with Laura for so long, she had never actually made any friends.

If Laura leaves, she will be all alone again.

"My current strength is at the fourth level, and my combat power is not weak."

Phoebe bit her lip and said, "At the crucial moment, I can also shield Lady Laura from fatal damage."

She hasn't given up yet.

"Stay in Valkam and help Viscount Renault."

Anno dared not give in at this time.

He knew about Phoebe and Laura's relationship.

If Phoebe dies on the battlefield, Laura will be very sad.

Phoebe doesn't have any special abilities, so she has a high probability of dying in the interdimensional war.

Finally, amidst the reluctant gazes of Renault and Phoebe, Anno led his men and Laura back to Xuelong City via the teleportation array.

"I love you, Lady Laura!"

In the final moments before the teleportation array lit up, Phoebe shouted these words amidst the shocked gazes of Reno and the soldiers guarding the array.

However, Laura and Anno had already teleported away and didn't hear those words at all.

Only a stunned Phoebe and a completely bewildered Renault remained.

Renault's inner monologue: "Oh my god!"

......

Currently, those who can stay by Anno's side are basically high-level individuals.

Most of them knew Laura.

So when Laura returned with Anno, no one else understood what Anno was planning to do.

You don't want Val'kam anymore?

Why are we trying to recruit all the lords?

However, when Anno revealed that Laura was a Sound Illusionist, everyone suddenly realized.

"Is it a lost profession, just like the Summoner?"

Lu Yan looked at Laura next to Anuo and nodded thoughtfully.

According to Anno, the Illusionist is extremely powerful.

If it grows to the later stages, it might be able to provide buffs to tens of thousands of people in an entire legion, just like Macaros's Blessing [Totem].

"Anno, leave Laura to me!"

Lü Yan said, "I will protect her safety during the expeditionary war."

Because he chose the knight profession, Lü Yan was always in a position of protecting the back row among the twelve kings.

Her equipment consisted mostly of heavy armor.

She also funded the creation of a heavy armor set for her black dragon mount.

The priests Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen, as well as the mage Geng Qingxue, would stand behind Lü Yan during battle.

Lu Zhishang's talent [Abstinence from Killing] gives him extremely abnormal defensive power.

But ultimately, Lu Zhishang was a soldier who charged into battle.

However, unlike Xue Feibai, who is a lightly armed warrior, Lu Zhishang is a "heavily armed" warrior.

"OK."

Without hesitation, Anno instructed, "You must protect her safety."

Don't worry!

Lü Yan pulled Lola along and made her sit down next to her.

Laura had always known that she wouldn't be able to stay by Anno's side all the time.

However, as long as she can stay in Anuo's little circle like this, she is very content.

"So..."

Anno looked at the twelve kings, the commander-in-chief of the city defense forces, the leader of the investigators, the branch president of the adventurers' guild, and the high priestess of the summoning temple, Ruth, gathered in the conference hall, and said in a deep voice: "The second expedition meeting of Val'kam has ended, and you are all aware of the results of the discussions."

The first target is not the rivals revealed by the Dream Thief, but EGLS.

That is, the dimension we invaded before.

According to the Dream Thief's intelligence, a god-level expert from EGLS died on the battlefield that just ended.

A god-level being wouldn't care about a plane that doesn't even have a god-level powerhouse.

What you need to do is to gather all the intelligence about the EGLS plane before the expeditionary force begins its operation, and then completely disrupt the balance of power in that plane.

Twelve Kings, Investigators, you will form the prototype of the Expeditionary Alliance's decapitation strike force.

The city defense forces will continue to stabilize the city of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. I do not want to hear of any cults or other organizations affecting the safety of the lives and property of the residents in the territory under my jurisdiction.

The current task of the Summoning Temple is to develop its followers.

Not only our dimension, but also the dimensions we invaded need to develop.

As for adventurers, your destination is not limited to EGLS.

Dimensional portals will connect a large number of dimensions at once.

Once they enter a hostile dimension, they begin to gather intelligence and disrupt the existing order.

Once you enter a friendly dimension, you should maintain friendly relations and exchange resources.

Did you all understand?

"I understand!"

Everyone answered in unison.

"Um!"

Anno looked at Laura and instructed Lü Yan, "The interdimensional expedition will be an excellent way to improve our strength. Besides Laura, there are a few other Guardians who need the Twelve Kings' care."

Just then, there was a knock on the conference room door, and Ella's voice came from outside.

"Master, I've brought the geniuses from the Adventurers' Academy with me!"
