I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Since acquiring the [Poisonous Fungus] and [Calamity], Anno has had a plan in mind.

He and his men guarded the church, and by utilizing the church's magic regeneration, they could continuously use [Poison] and [Calamity].

As long as there are enough defenders, the goblins won't be able to get in.

Under the attacks of [poisonous fungi] and [disaster], no matter how many monsters come, they will all die.

However, this plan has two prerequisites.

First, Anno needs to be able to enter the church.

Secondly, we need to have enough troops to defend the church and prevent it from being overrun by the monsters.

Now, Anno needs to deal with or lure out the two hundred-plus goblins that have already occupied the church.

According to the intelligence we just received, the goblins who occupied the church are mostly melee fighters, with only a dozen or so archers capable of ranged attacks.

Anno hasn't seen a second goblin priest who can cast magic, apart from the one that has already become a summoned creature.

"Brother Xue, go and call all the adventurers from Falling Rock Town over here!"

"good!"

Xue Feibai immediately got up and went outside to gather the adventurers.

"We need help from others!" Anno said, and got up to leave.

He found Brook, who then led him to Connor Bowen, the level 11 captain of the guards.

"President Anno, what brings you here so late?"

Connor was a man in his thirties with a standard square face and a muscular physique that fit the image of a soldier.

Anno didn't immediately reveal his plans, but instead asked, "I'd like to ask, what are your plans regarding the monsters in the Forbidden Forest?"

"What should we do?"

Connor stroked his chin, organized his thoughts for a moment, and said, "It's not exactly a secret. Originally, we planned to lead our troops directly to the Forbidden Forest to wipe out these monsters and reduce their numbers as much as possible."

However, fighting on the goblins' home turf will definitely result in heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the third prince will bring troops to support Val'kam, so our current task is to stall.

"Once the Third Prince's forces arrive, even if the monsters of the Aiur Mountains and the Forbidden Forest unite, we will not be afraid!"

Upon hearing this, Anno asked, "So, you don't intend to take the initiative?"

Connor shook his head with a wry smile and said, "After the strategy was decided, we only sent fifty guards. Even with mercenaries and adventurers, they can only harass the monsters; how could they possibly launch a proactive attack?"

"What if I bring people and take advantage of the situation?"

"What?"

Connor stared at Anno in disbelief, his eyelids twitching, and said, "President Anno, don't underestimate monsters. Even for me, if I were surrounded by elite monsters, my chances of surviving would be almost zero."

A higher level only means you are stronger than someone with a lower level, but it doesn't mean you are invincible.

He will be injured if stabbed by a weapon; he will get tired if the battle goes on for a long time; he will be unable to use skills after his magic power is exhausted; he will die if his heart is pierced!

Even he, a level 11 warrior, didn't dare to lead his troops in a proactive attack.

Anno, at level 10, going to fight the elite goblins is a death sentence!

"Captain Connor, I'm not joking!"

Anno said with a serious expression, "Even with the support of the Third Prince, who knows how many monsters are on the other side of the Ai'er Mountains?"

Before they all unite, let's take care of some of them first, so that we'll face fewer monster armies in the future!

All adventurers in the Adventurers' Guild are members of Val'kam, and we are willing to fight for it.

Connor stared wide-eyed and said, "But this is suicide!"

"Don't worry, Captain, I'm still young, I won't die prematurely!"

Anno smiled confidently and said, "I just investigated myself. There is a group of about 200 monsters on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. They are my target."

Tomorrow morning, I will lead a group to take down these monsters.

But I need Captain Connor to draw the attention of the town of Gruul and prevent them from going to support those monsters too early!

"Over two hundred monsters?" Connor took a deep breath and said, "That's a lot of monsters. Are you confident?"

Anno nodded and said, "More than 70% chance. Even if something unexpected happens in the end, I have a way to get out unscathed!"

But if we succeed, we'll not only wipe out over two hundred monsters, but any reinforcements that come will also be wiped out one by one!

The way Anno suggested to escape unscathed was through the church's teleportation function.

If we really can't hold out, we'll just teleport to the eastern border.

Connor looked at Anno suspiciously, wondering where Anno got his confidence from.

He shook his head and said, "I still don't agree with your approach!"

Anno: "But I will definitely leave tomorrow morning. If you don't bring any help, our situation will become much more dangerous!"

"you......"

Connor was so angry he wanted to slam his fist on the table. "I just don't understand! Couldn't we just wait patiently for the Third Prince's party to arrive? Why did we have to take such a risk?"

Anno naturally wouldn't mention the church's special characteristics, but instead laughed and said, "We're adventurers! This world is full of powerful monsters; if we humans don't take risks, how will we survive?"

Connor was touched upon hearing this.

Humans are already at a disadvantage in this world. If they don't have the spirit of fighting and taking risks, will the Kingdom of Nigar be overwhelmed again when the demons launch a major attack?

While he was thinking of waiting for reinforcements to arrive before taking action, the young man in front of him was thinking of taking the initiative to reduce the number of enemies.

Connor stared at Anno for a long time, then said in a low voice, "President Anno, you have such achievements and character at such a young age. Your future accomplishments will surely be great!"

I believe you wouldn't be foolish enough to joke about your own life.

Tomorrow morning, I will lead the guards and persuade the mercenaries to work together to buy you as much time as possible.

I hope that if the situation on your side becomes unfavorable, you will immediately use the method you mentioned for escaping to leave!

Hearing Connor say that, Anno breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been quite worried that Connor was a rigid person and that without Viscount Renault's orders, even if Anor set off with his men, he wouldn't choose to help.

Anno stood up, extended his right hand to Connor, and smiled, "Captain Connor, just wait for my good news!"

Connor also extended his right hand, saying sincerely, "Be careful!"

After leaving Connor, Anno returned to the Adventurers' Guild's gathering place.

At this time, all the Iron-rank adventurers who were staying in Falling Rock Town had already gathered together.

Standing at the very front row were Xue Feibai and his group, Mark, the apprentices of the professional mentor, and a host of veteran adventurers such as Shaw and Kahn.

There are fifty-three people in total!

There were also more than a hundred novice adventurers nearby.

Their strength is too weak to participate in this battle.

When Anuo returned, everyone's attention turned to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next we are going to do something very risky, but we have to do it!"

If classified by mission level, it would be at least [Bronze]!

We need to venture somewhere on the edge of the Forbidden Forest to fight a group of over two hundred monsters!

Although the guards will help us hold back the monsters in Gruul Town, there are too few guards. The monsters in Gruul Town may send troops back at any time to block our retreat!

Deep within the Forbidden Forest, reinforcements from the monsters may also arrive.

All I can do is fight alongside you.

Now, I'd like to ask, is there anyone here who wants to quit?

In this battle, Anno plans to select some trusted confidants from among these Iron-rank adventurers.

Those who are willing to come will receive increased resources to train them and eventually become officers of the Adventurers' Guild.

Those who were unwilling to come along, no matter how strong they were, were simply regarded by Anno as adventurers.
