I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Warcraft! How come there are so many warcraft all of a sudden?"

"They're all level 9!"

"They charged towards the captain!"

The Bloodstained Mercenary Group members were somewhat bewildered when they saw several magical beasts charging towards them.

Although Dean and the others didn't know what was going on, they realized that the person leading the monsters was the black-robed man next to Anno, and that he was their teammate.

"Brothers, it's the guild leader's help! Hang in there!"

Upon hearing Dean's words, the mercenaries of the Justice Mercenary Group were overjoyed and intensified their attack!

The four captain-level mercenaries of Bloodstain were standing at the rear, waiting for Dean and the others to be nearly exhausted before entering to reap the rewards.

The sudden appearance of the monster caught them off guard.

However, they reacted quickly, immediately drawing their weapons and fighting the charging monsters.

Although the team leaders were all level 10, these monsters were all quite powerful.

Besides the Black Wind Demon Wolf, there are also the Earth Violent Bear, the Boxing Kangaroo, and the Gale Fox, among others.

With Liz's "Command" and Anno's "Berserk", each one has a combat power of level 10.

And then there's Liz, the level 10 succubus!

Within five minutes, the four captains were covered in wounds and blood, looking like they could collapse at any moment.

"Hey, you guys better send some people over to help!"

Hearing their captain's shout, the Bloodstained Mercenary Group, who were still fighting Dean and the others, swallowed hard. Some of them turned back to fight the monsters.

However, if even the captain was no match for the monsters, how could the other mercenaries possibly withstand a horde of berserk summons?

They held on for only two minutes before collapsing into a field of corpses.

"hateful!"

The bloodstained warrior captain clutched his chest, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stared at the earth bear before him, his eyes filled with regret.

He shouldn't have accepted this commission.

Boom!

The earth bear, its eyes flashing red, slammed its paws into the ground, causing the ground nearby to shake.

Taking advantage of the warrior's unstable stance, the Earth Bear charged forward and slapped him, cracking his skull open.

On the other side, a level 10 hunter was fighting a boxing kangaroo when he was ambushed by a Swiftfox with its claws, tearing his throat open.

"Damn bastards, didn't those guys say the strongest member of the Justice Mercenary Group was just a level 9 knight? What's with these monsters and that black-robed man?"

"Haven't you realized yet? We've been tricked!"

Captain Keyes and Kai, still standing, looked at the monsters that surrounded them with panic, silently cursing the families of the mercenaries in Glad City.

The captains' defeat directly caused the Bloodstained Mercenary Group to lose their will to fight.

They were quickly surrounded by Dean!

Anno then walked up to Liz from behind, looking at the two captains still fighting desperately under the siege of monsters, and said disdainfully, "The Bloodstained people seem to have no ability whatsoever, except for running away!"

Upon hearing this, the Knight Captain glanced at Anno.

"You are... Anno, the guild master of the Adventurers' Guild. What are you doing here?"

As a celebrity in Valcalm and an opponent of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group, Anno was immediately recognized by Captain Case.

No wonder these monsters only attacked them.

Rumor has it that Anno is a summoner who can fight using summoned creatures.

These monsters must have been summoned by Anno!

"First, answer my question. How's the situation on Walkam's side?"

Anno's tone carried an undeniable authority, and Case looked at the magical beasts around him who had suddenly stopped fighting with terrified eyes, feeling his throat go dry.

"The monsters of the Forbidden Forest have broken out and taken over the town of Gruul."

Viscount Renault has issued many bounties, including for the head of the Goblin King of the Forbidden Forest.

Many mercenaries and adventurers from your guild have begun hunting monsters in the Forbidden Forest.

However, the day before yesterday, the adventurer Mark suddenly brought back intelligence: while exploring the Aiur Mountains, he discovered signs of a large gathering of monsters, seemingly preparing for a large-scale attack on Valcalm.

"So, you Bloodstained people ran away before the monsters of the Aieh Mountains even launched their attack?"

Faced with Anno's questioning, Case nodded with a grim expression.

If they don't run now, they won't be able to escape when the monster army attacks.

Suddenly, Case looked at Anno in front of him and a possibility occurred to him.

Could it be that Anno also fled to the Eastern Territory for refuge after learning the news?

If that's the case, then they're brothers in misfortune!

"Guild Master Anno, please spare us, considering we've all come to the Eastern Territory seeking refuge. Our guild leader will be back in two days; he's a level 10+ professional! Once he returns, you and the guild leader can join forces and quickly establish a foothold in Glad City!"

"Joining forces with your leader?" Anno didn't care about Case's misunderstanding, but scoffed, saying, "I'm afraid that one day when we run into trouble, he'll just pack up and run away. After all, I've witnessed the Bloodstain Mercenary Group's ability to escape many times! From Sharp, to Freeman, and now to you!"

"Captain Freeman!"

Case's eyes suddenly widened.

A few days ago, Mavis, who had retreated with the town of Gruul, said that Freeman, Charlie, and the others were very likely killed by the goblin elites.

But judging from Anno's tone, Freeman's death seemed to be related to him.

After this possibility was brought up, Case's face fell.

Since Anno has gone this far, it means he won't let them off the hook.

Kai, the level 10 mage behind Case, also understood this.

A ruthless glint flashed in the latter's eyes, and he suddenly brandished his staff, unleashing a [Fireball] spell at Anno.

"Die, Anno!"

The fireball, trailing a fiery tail, flew rapidly toward Anno, and was about to hit him.

Dean and the others, who were standing behind Anno, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this scene.

Keyes and Kai smiled, but the smiles quickly froze on their faces.

Suddenly, a vortex appeared in front of Anno. The fireball hit the vortex and disappeared without even touching Anno.

"Where's my fireball? Where's my huge fireball?"

Kai couldn't understand.

This was the first time he had ever seen magic fail.

Anno looked at the 200 points of magic power absorbed by [Devouring Reincarnation] and smiled at Kai and Keith.

"Oh no!" Case sensed something was wrong.

The next moment, Liz flashed in front of Anno, her eyes flashing with purple light, and met the gazes of the two of them.

In his confusion, Case was smashed into a pulp by the Earth Bear.

Because Kai is a mage, his mental strength is stronger. He was only charmed for two seconds and managed to dodge the monster's attack in time after waking up.

But he was no match for the monsters on his own, and soon followed in their footsteps.

As for the rest of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group, seeing that all four captains were dead, they abandoned the Justice Mercenary Group and fled in panic in all directions.

However, how could these people possibly escape from a group of level 9 magical beasts?

The fastest runner was caught and killed by the Black Wind Wolf 500 meters away.

Less than ten minutes after Anno made his move, the entire forty-man team was wiped out!

At this point, the Bloodstained Mercenary Group has lost sixty of its more than one hundred official members!

This included one battalion commander and five captains!

I bet their leader will be furious when he gets back and sees that more than half of the mercenary group is gone.

After collecting the spoils and disposing of the corpses, Anno took out twenty fangs from his backpack and sent them back to Gray City.

These fangs were considered Anno's investment. Anno instructed them to go back and gather intelligence on Glad City, which would be useful when they held branch meetings in the future.

As for Anno, after leaving a Swiftfox to guard the abandoned church, he rushed back to Val'kam with Liz overnight.

At this point, Valkam was in complete chaos because of the intelligence Mark brought back.

If Viscount Renault hadn't announced that the Kingdom's third prince was coming with an army to provide support, many people would probably have planned to leave Val'kam.

......

At this moment, Prince Tester, the third prince, was on his way on horseback.
