I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

After Anno finished explaining the bronze-level quest, the novice adventurers around him all gasped in astonishment.

No wonder I didn't bring them along this time.

Putting aside the fact that the target is more than two hundred monsters, entering the Forbidden Forest at this time is an extremely risky undertaking. They might be attacked from both sides by the monsters in Gruul Town and the Forbidden Forest.

There were only fifty-three Iron-level adventurers present.

Many of them felt uneasy.

Of course, Shaw and Kahn, the adventurers who had fought alongside Anno, looked nostalgic.

They hadn't fought alongside Anno for a long time.

They were all aware of the dangers of this mission.

But the fact that Anuo, Xue Feibai, and others participated means it definitely wasn't a mission to send them to their deaths.

If that's the case, then what's there to worry about?

Just do it!

"President, take me with you!"

"And me!"

"I'm going too!"

"Damn it, I've been sneaking around killing two monsters these past few days, it's not as fun as hunting monsters in Mil Village. This time I finally have a chance!"

"Opportunities to fight alongside the guild master are rare, so count me in!"

As several veteran adventurers signed up, more and more people chose to accept this mission without a client.

In the end, a total of fifty people participated!

The remaining three, two at level 6 and one at level 8, chose to withdraw, citing danger.

But they are willing to join novice adventurers and the guards tomorrow to distract the monsters in Gruul Town.

Anno didn't say much, but left with the fifty people in front of him to prepare what they would need for tomorrow.

After everything was prepared, everyone went back to sleep and had a good night's rest.

The next day, as the sun rose above the horizon, Anno, along with fifty fully armed men and over a hundred novice adventurers, met up with Connor and his group at the town gate.

In addition to fifty guards, Connor was accompanied by more than twenty mercenaries.

The adventurers' guild didn't have much of a good impression of the mercenaries; having more than twenty of them was already considered quite good.

Mavis walked up to Anno in the crowd, frowning as she asked, "What's gotten into you this time? This isn't how you do adventures! If you get surrounded by monsters, don't expect us to come to your rescue!"

Anno chuckled softly, "I'm already very grateful that you're willing to help keep an eye on the monsters over there in Gruul."

Seeing that Anno didn't take it seriously, Mavis stopped trying to dissuade her.

She thought the same as Connor, believing that Anno wouldn't do something so suicidal.

They guessed that Anno must have some backup plan to make him so confident.

The group began their journey towards the Forbidden Forest.

"Fifty people daring to go to the Forbidden Forest? They're really asking for trouble!"

"It seems the Adventurers' Guild only has this many skilled members. I wonder how many will make it out alive this time?"

"Come out? They'd better all die inside. Because of them, our mercenary group has no commissions now, forcing us to lower our prices. If it weren't for the monsters of the Ai'er Mountains causing trouble and Viscount Reno giving us the commission, we'd probably still be idle!"

"The Adventurers' Guild is a huge menace!"

"..."

Many of the mercenaries who remained in Falling Rock Town were discussing Anno's arrogance and preparing to see him make a fool of himself.

......

After an hour's journey, Connor and his group arrived at a high ground near the south gate of the town of Gruel.

If you go any further, you'll be spotted by the monsters on guard in the town of Gruul.

Next, these two hundred-odd people will appear in the sentry's field of vision, attracting the attention of the monsters in the town and buying time for Anno in the north.

Anno and the others, who had parted ways with Connor halfway through the journey, had also arrived at the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

On the way, Anno told the fifty people the truth about the church.

Everyone was amazed by the existence of the magic return array, while also agreeing with Anno's approach.

If monsters were to take over this thing, who knows what kind of harm it would cause in future battles!

Moreover, Anno said that once they occupied the church, they could teleport away even if they encountered danger, which surprised and delighted everyone.

With a way out, what's there to be afraid of!

The group arrived at the foot of the hill outside the Forbidden Forest. Mark wanted to go forward to investigate, but Anno stopped him.

"I have a flying summon, it's safer to use it."

Anno released the harpy to scout intelligence from the air.

The adventurers were all curious about Anno's summoned creatures.

I had only heard that Anno could summon slimes and goblins before.

But later, it also summoned wind wolves, kobolds, and other creatures.

Anno's usual level 6 Wind Wolf is gone, replaced by a level 9 Black Wind Wolf and a newly summoned Harpy.

"Guild Master, how many summoned creatures do you actually have?"

Mark couldn't help but ask.

Without turning his head, Anno replied, "Not many, only ten!"

We'll be fighting side-by-side soon, so letting them know about it will help with coordination.

"Ten!" Mark's eyes widened in surprise.

Hunters can only learn skills that synergize with their battle pets at level 11, so this class typically starts raising battle pets at level 11.

However, most hunters only keep two battle pets!

I'll raise two for life!

While battle pets can be helpful to hunters, raising one requires a great deal of effort and money.

Those that only focus on quantity and not quality are not included.

After all, what use is it for an 11th-level hunter to raise a bunch of 2nd and 3rd-level battle pets?

"Alright, the situation ahead has been scouted!"

Anno turned to the group and said, "We chose a good route; there are only two monster strongholds on the edge of the forest."

There is one directly in front, containing about twenty low-level monsters, led by a level 6 goblin.

Another one is about 200 meters to the right front, numbering thirty, two of them are level 6!

The harpy was too conspicuous to fly into the forest, making it impossible to assess the situation inside.

However, I estimate that there will be a small group of monsters every so often inside.

Mark, you take a team and deal with that group of monsters directly ahead. Don't make a scene!

"Leave it to me!"

Mark was confident he could quickly deal with a group of low-level monsters.

Led by twenty Iron-level adventurers, Mark crouched low and approached forward.

Anno then led the rest of the group to deal with the monsters on the right front.

Using the dense trees and bushes to conceal themselves, Anno and his group quickly approached their target.

This isn't the route the Black Wind Wolf took yesterday, so the monsters guarding this spot aren't very wary.

When Anno and his group got within twenty meters, they were spotted by a ratman.

call out!

Wang Zixuan loosened her grip, and an arrow swiftly sliced ​​through the air, accurately striking the throat of the level 3 ratman!

Then, the adventurers hiding behind tree trunks and in bushes suddenly erupted and launched an attack on the somewhat bewildered monsters.

A group of low-level monsters had no chance against the Iron-level adventurers.

The two level 6 goblins were immediately killed by the Black Wind Wolf and Boxing Kangaroo summoned by Anno!

After collecting the souls and gathering two level 6 monster summoning materials, Anno waited quietly for Mark.

A few minutes later, Mark arrived with his men.

Lu Zhishang was assigned to Mark's side so that he could perform the ritual of releasing the soul without having to compete with Anno.

After the two sides met, Anno canceled the three summoned monsters and resummoned three level 10 goblins.

Although at the same level, monsters are stronger.

However, in the Forbidden Forest, goblin summons are still more useful.

Send the goblins ahead to scout, while a group of people quietly follow behind.

The monster gathering points I encountered mostly contained low-level monsters, with very few being level 6 or higher.

However, as they got closer to the church, the monsters they encountered became increasingly higher level.

If Anno hadn't used summoning goblins as cover, he would never have been able to eliminate them so quietly.

What should have been a ten-minute walk took the group nearly an hour to find the abandoned church in an open space.

However, the number of monsters surrounding the church was far more than two hundred.

There are so many of them, at least four hundred!

"They've actually reinforced their troops!"

Anno felt a chill run down his spine, but then he came up with a solution.
