I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Later, some people said that the demise of the human empire symbolized the start of World War I.

Some say that World War I had already begun in the struggle between the gods. When mortals were affected, it meant that World War I was already raging.

But for people living during the era of World War I, they were unaware of World War I.

All they knew was that the world was full of war, corpses, and refugees whose countries had been destroyed.

Looking at the lifeless village before him, Anno couldn't help but sigh.

"These scum!"

With tears in her eyes, Gloria closed the eyes of the white-haired elven corpse beside her.

Its body was already mangled beyond recognition, with bite marks from the giant jaws tearing at it.

She then placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist, stood up, and prepared to follow the trail left by the extradimensional army.

But a figure blocked Gloria's way.

"Anno, get out of the way!"

Gloria said, her eyes red.

"Our mission is to scout the situation here, not to kill those enemies."

Anno pressed down on Gloria's shoulder and advised, "Rushing in now will only put you in danger."

Moreover, the other side already knew of my existence among the elves, and I'm pretty sure there's a high probability that a high-level Swift Walker is waiting for me in their team.

Once a fight breaks out, I won't be able to care about you at all!

Anno knew Gloria was in pain.

But the current situation is not the time to start a war with the enemy.

"Besides, Elisana is waiting for us to go back. It wouldn't be worth it if they got into danger because we were delayed here too long!"

At Anno's urging, Gloria, seeing the elven residents being killed around her, gritted her teeth and led her elven guards into the forest.

Upon returning to the outpost, Elisana immediately inquired about the situation.

"How's it going? Have you arranged for the residents of At Village to evacuate? If they don't retreat soon, the war will reach there sooner or later."

When Elisana saw Gloria lock herself in her room with red eyes and without saying a word, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

She turned to look at Anno.

Anno shook his head helplessly and said, "We're too late, the village is gone."

"How could this happen!"

Upon hearing the news, Elisana immediately burst into tears.

The current residents of Yate Village have long since become a gathering place for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled from more than a dozen nearby villages.

The young and strong elves who were capable of retreating had long been driven to the rear by the older generation of elves.

The reason they are unwilling to retreat is simple.

The evacuation of thousands of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled elf villagers to the rear only puts greater pressure on the survival of the villages and towns behind them.

So they don't plan to leave.

Upon learning this news, Gloria planned to lead her people to take all of these people back to the rear.

Because enemy scouts might be nearby, such an action carries a great risk.

So the two women invited Anno over.

But in the end, they were too late.

"You watch over Gloria, I'm going for a walk outside."

Anno gave Elissana a look, then turned and left the base.

"Don't follow us. Strengthen the perimeter. This outpost is already very dangerous. Order the supplies to be gathered and prepare to evacuate." Anno stopped several guards who wanted to follow and obey orders.

"Yes, sir!"

The elves respectfully agreed and then slipped away.

Although Anno is not an elf, he has fought for the elves for the past five years and enjoys a very high reputation among them.

After leaving the base, Anno flew off in one direction.

Several hours later, Anno caught up with the enemies who had massacred the village of At.

A procession of tens of thousands of people was marching, clearly surveying the surrounding area and eliminating any elven observation points.

"Little M, it's our turn!"

Anno murmured softly.

"Chirp chirp~!"

The little Mu hanging on Anno's shoulder immediately turned into a puddle of green liquid, enveloping Anno's body.

Before long, Anno was wearing a green slime armor.

This is the current ability of Little Mu, who is already at level nine.

The hardened armor's defensive capabilities are no weaker than those of a magic suit.

Moreover, it can quickly recover after being damaged.

Anno is being so cautious even with his current strength because he has already identified a special enemy among this group.

His body was covered in intricate magical runes, and he was surrounded by a group of seventh-tier, eighth-tier, and even ninth-tier beings.

If I'm not mistaken, the other party is the Swift Walker.

Those high-ranking individuals around were likely guards who were buying time for the Swift Walker to summon the gods.

Anno was so familiar with this method because his enemies had been using it against him for the past six months.
