I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

While Anno and his group infiltrated the Forbidden Forest, Connor, along with over seventy others, began harassing the town of Gruul.

The guards and the mercenaries brought by Mavis were both quite strong.

With Connor being a level 11 monster, even though the monsters guarding the entrance had spotted Connor and his group beforehand, they were still caught up and killed, with more than a dozen of them killed.

However, the monsters in the town quickly noticed the anomaly and came out in droves.

Connor's main objective was to hold off these monsters and buy Anno time.

Upon seeing the monster emerge, he immediately led his men in retreat.

After the monster left, he returned with his men to continue harassing them.

There are more than a dozen level 10 monsters occupying the town of Gruul.

One of the level 10 clan leaders couldn't resist and led dozens of elites and hundreds of low-level monsters in pursuit.

They caught up.

But the patriarch was killed by Connor in the melee.

The remaining monsters fled back to the town in disarray, no longer daring to underestimate the humans outside.

Connor didn't dare to lead a few dozen people to charge into the town, which was occupied by more than seven hundred monsters.

The two sides remained deadlocked for two or three hours, but there was still no further action taken.

"Anno, the battle should have started over there by now!" Connor sat on a mound, gazing towards the Forbidden Forest, and muttered to himself, "Be careful!"

What he didn't know was that Anno had already destroyed the church.

......

A church on the edge of a forbidden forest.

After half an hour of rest, everyone except the seriously injured adventurer had recovered most of their strength.

As for magic, everyone is at their most abundant!

Anno instructed Mark, the hunter, to lead everyone in setting traps around the church to deal with the monsters in the subsequent battle.

Anno himself led Liz deep into the Forbidden Forest.

In the battle just now, Anno gained nearly two hundred green-level souls, which is why Anno dared to venture deep into the enemy territory alone.

So many souls, plus a whole bag of summoning materials collected.

As long as they are not surrounded, Anno has the confidence to stand firm!

Besides his soul, Anno's experience increased by more than 2,000, and his experience bar now stands at 2534/5000.

This is still the result of other adventurers taking away some of the experience.

However, without them, Anno certainly wouldn't have been able to take the church.

But Anno felt he was better suited to raiding bases than defending them!

The power of [Calamity] was already evident in the battle just now; most of the hundreds of elite goblins were killed by Anno's three [Calamities]!

Since it was a base raid, Anno replaced his summoned creatures with monsters to conceal his identity.

Including that scythe goblin!

Thanks to her previous visit to the core area, and with Liz pointing the way, Anno quickly arrived at the core area.

Looking at the somewhat empty goblin village in front of him, Anno's eyes gradually narrowed.

The goblins in this village are the same ones who ambushed and killed Harry and his mercenaries last time.

A few kilometers further in, you'll reach the Goblin King's territory.

The scythe goblin swaggered into the village, quickly attracting the attention of the monsters inside.

However, most of the monsters in this village are in the town of Gruul, with only five or six level 6 goblins left here to guard the village.

These monsters clearly recognized the scythe goblin, and even bowed their heads and bent over when they saw the latter.

However, at this point, the scythe goblin was already Anno's summoned creature.

Amidst the clanging of chains, the slashing of scythes, and the screams of goblins, several goblins who remained behind died in their home.

Anno led Liz into the village and searched it.

Aside from finding some animal meat and worthless items, there was no other gain.

"As expected, goblins always carry their valuables with them!"

Anno clicked his tongue and turned to leave.

According to previous intelligence, there are about 800 monsters in the town of Gruul, of which 400 are elite!

In the previous battle, Anno encountered two hundred elite monsters!

"There are only about two thousand monsters in the entire Forbidden Forest, and the Goblin King's army seems to consist of only a thousand elite soldiers."

Including the previous losses and those sent to the town of Gruel, there should only be about two hundred left!

Liz walked over to Anno and speculated about the strength of the Goblin King's forces.

Anno tightened his grip on the longsword and continued deeper into the area with his summoned creatures.

In his heart, Anno still hoped that the Goblin King and the remaining elites would separate, so that Anno would have a chance to defeat them one by one.

"Take cover! A monster has emerged!"

Anno saw a group of monsters running out from the depths of the forest, guided by the scythe goblin leading the way.

Liz and Anno immediately hid in the bushes.

Soon, a group of over a hundred elite monsters appeared in Anno's field of vision.

At the very front of this group of monsters was a rat-man covered in blood!

"The ratmen who escaped from the church brought reinforcements, didn't they!"

Anno looked at this group of monsters, the lowest of which were level 8, and an idea came to him.

If you rush out directly, you'll definitely be devoured until there's nothing left but bones.

Using the magical fluctuations of [Poisonous Fungus] and [Calamity] would reveal one's location, so it's not suitable at the moment.

At this point, the effectiveness of Anno summoning goblins and other monsters instead of stronger magical beasts becomes apparent.

As the group of monsters passed by, six summoned level 10 goblins quietly emerged from their hiding place and mingled at the back of the group.

Taking advantage of the monsters ahead not noticing, summon goblins to target the three level 8 goblins running at the very back.

Three summoned goblins covered the mouths of the monsters around them, while the other three quickly slit the monsters' throats with their weapons.

The whole process was very smooth and made very little noise.

After dumping the corpse into the bushes, the six summoned creatures sped up and chased after it again.

The leader of this group of monsters, a level 10 kobold, had just learned from the rat messenger that the outer church was actually a blessed place brimming with magic.

While cursing the scythe goblin for concealing the truth, it also wanted to seize the church.

The kobold leader already disliked the scythe goblins.

The latter thought the kobolds were incredibly stupid, which made the kobolds somewhat happy when they learned of the scythe goblin's death.

In the Forbidden Forest, although the elite monster races live together, there is still a hierarchy of contempt among them.

Goblins think kobolds are stupid, while kobolds think goblins are weak.

As for the rat people...

Aside from the dim-witted trolls, goblins and kobolds look down on the cowardly ratmen!

Earlier, the kobold leader stopped the panicked ratmen.

Upon learning of the human invasion, the kobold leader did not allow the ratmen to report to the Goblin King, and instead had the ratmen lead the way.

According to the rat people, this group of humans consists of only fifty people, but they have magical beasts to help them.

Moreover, it also saw the goblin priest constantly using magic to bombard and help humans.

Humans even have methods similar to plagues, which can cause monsters to grow mushrooms all over their bodies and die in agony.

The dog-headed man scoffed.

He knew that the ratmen were always timid, and that they were probably just exaggerating how powerful humans were.

But if humans were really that powerful, they would have taken back the town of Gruel long ago.

Besides, it's one thing for monsters to help humans, but how could goblin priests possibly help humans?

"Sniff!"

As they ran, the kobold leader twitched his nose and suddenly smelled a faint scent of blood.

"What happened?"

The kobold stopped and glanced ahead, but found nothing amiss.

Then it looked back and suddenly its eyes widened.

Its subordinates, somehow, have been reduced by almost half!
