I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Upon hearing Anno's instructions, the adventurers in the guild quickly began searching for their friends to inform them of the matter.

The most excited were the adventurers who were just one basic quest away from advancing to the beginner level.

Some of them had originally planned to rest today, and only came to the Adventurers' Guild to communicate with other adventurers.

After all, everyone here is talented and speaks very well.

I also took a look at the pretty receptionist.

However, after learning that the minimum requirement for guild quests was to be a beginner adventurer, many people rushed to the quest wall to find quests, hoping to advance to the beginner level today.

Anno walked over to Maggie and told her to hurry up and find a suitable person to take over.

Anno is already planning to open a branch, and Dean, whom he met before, is also gathering intelligence in Glad City, the core city of the Eastern Territory.

Once the Valcalm incident is over, Anno plans to lead a group to Glad City to establish a branch.

While we're at it, let's completely wipe out the Bloodstained Mercenary Group!

The Adventurers' Guild's catering and weapon services are almost ready, and they can officially begin operations in another week.

After gathering this information, Anno went upstairs to continue writing the monster and monster encyclopedia.

It took Anno about an hour to finish writing the illustration.

He called Liz, who was posing seductively in bed, over and instructed her to deliver the illustrated book to Kahn downstairs, and then have him take it to the printing shop to be printed.

Then, Anno wrote down the things to be done on a piece of paper: branch, Laura, Yellow Rank inheritance, guild hidden stronghold, and Divine Array.

The branch needs to be held in Glad City.

Laura's issue is naturally that marriage.

Laura's level isn't very high, only level 5, and her class is mage.

With the Viscount's power, he could naturally force Laura to level 10.

However, Laura has very low talent and learns skills very slowly. To date, she only knows one basic level zero spell—[Arcane Orb].

Even if she forcibly reached level 10, she couldn't learn a first-tier skill and therefore couldn't advance further. According to the information she had gathered during this period, a major advancement for native inhabitants of another world required learning at least one skill from the previous tier.

So the Viscount began to cultivate Laura's political abilities.

In any case, a noblewoman like her is not suited for fighting and killing.

However, it was precisely for this reason that the Viscount prepared to find Laura a powerful spouse.

This matter is somewhat troublesome for Anno, so it has been put aside for the time being.

The Yellow Rank Inheritance is the next place Anno needs to go to improve his strength.

As is customary, Anno must sacrifice 500 Yellow-Rank souls in order to unlock the inheritance.

This reinforcement mission provided Anno with just the right opportunity.

With Anno's strength, getting close to the battlefield shouldn't be life-threatening, and obtaining souls would be very easy.

According to Liz, there are definitely more than 500 level 11-15 monsters in the Aieh Mountains, which is more than enough for Anno.

As for the guild's hidden stronghold, it means building a stronghold centered around the church, firmly controlling the church's mana regeneration and teleportation abilities within the guild's grasp.

The sacred array is naturally a means of protecting the church.

However, setting up the Divine Array requires dozens of materials, including obsidian, blood of yellow-rank magical beasts, magic crystals, and so on, all of which Anno needs to collect or purchase.

After figuring out what to do next, Anuo didn't even eat lunch before lying down to rest.

......

the next day.

The gates of Valcalm.

Groups of professionals gathered here.

Almost all the mercenary groups in Val'kam came here—although many smaller mercenary groups hadn't received any commissions, it didn't stop them from coming to join in the fun.

There were around two thousand mercenaries present.

Each mercenary group occupies a distinct area, but most are small mercenary groups with only about twenty or thirty members.

Among the mercenaries, the most conspicuous are the Fang Wolf Mercenary Group and the Black Widow Mercenary Group.

前者的团长狼人沃里克是12级，带领着140个正式成员以及500人的预备团员——正式成员6-10级，预备团员1-5级。

Linda, the leader of the Black Widows, is a level 12 assassin with over 80 official members and 500 reserve members.

"This is the first time I've seen both major mercenary groups mobilize in full force."

"As expected of one of the top two mercenary groups in Val'kam, what a powerful aura!"

"Yes, they're miles ahead of us in both numbers and strength!"

"Linda, the team leader, is as dazzling as ever today. I wish I could be stepped on by her in her high heels."

"..."

The crowd unconsciously moved a little further away from this person before continuing their discussion.

"I heard the Adventurers' Guild has over a thousand members; they're definitely the largest!"

"Tch, so what if they have a lot of people? They don't even have a single expert!"

"That's right. The Adventurers' Guild got the limelight because the leaders of the two major mercenary groups were absent a while ago."

Now that they're back, what do you think the two raid leaders will do after seeing the Adventurers' Guild take their jobs?

"They'll definitely target the Adventurers' Guild!"

"The Adventurers' Guild doesn't have a single person above level 10, so they're no match for Garo and Black Widow."

"It probably won't work in the next couple of days, since the Third Prince is here too, making it difficult for the two mercenary groups to make a move. But after His Highness leaves..."

"Hehehe, doesn't that mean the Adventurers' Guild won't be around for much longer?"

"Of course. And although we can't openly take action right now, the guild leaders will definitely give that kid named Anno from the Adventurers' Guild a piece of their mind!"

While these small mercenary groups were chatting, a large, dark crowd suddenly appeared on the street in the distance.

At the front of the crowd, three people were holding up three five-meter-high flags.

The fluttering flag was red with an embroidered design—two crossed swords in front of a shield.

That's the emblem of the Adventurers' Guild!

The adventurers' guild that appeared carrying a flag stunned many people.

Only when a thousand men form an army can a flag be raised!

Even Garou and Black Widow were just wearing clothes with mercenary group insignia.

"These guys really know how to show off!"

"Hmph, don't they know that the leader of Garo and Black Widow's faction has returned?"

"Don't rush, don't rush, just watch the show."

The small mercenary group made way for the Adventurers' Guild as they spoke.

Anno rode a horse, leading 1,200 adventurers slowly to the front of the group—the few hundred who hadn't arrived were still basic-level adventurers and weren't qualified to join this mission.

Soon, Anno spotted the two most conspicuous mercenary groups.

Anno sized up the two-meter-tall werewolf and muttered to himself, "Is it an orc of the Order faction? There's probably no other one like it in Val'kam!"

Orcs are divided into the Order faction and the Evil faction.

The latter belong to the monster camp, while the former are allies of humans, working together to resist the Demon King's army.

In developed cities, such as the capital of Nigar, orcs are not uncommon, and you can also see dwarves, elves, and other races.

However, the Walkam is not well-developed.

"Warwick the Werewolf, level 12, Warrior. Linda, level 12, Assassin. And, these two mercenary groups aren't just rumored to have only their leaders who are level 10+ professionals!"

Anno glanced at the people standing next to the two guild leaders and noticed that there was a level 11 professional next to each of them.

Apart from that, the two mercenary groups have no other professionals above level 10.

Having seen through their intelligence, Anno stopped the group and, before the Viscount's guards arrived, led only Mark, Hansen, Xue Feibai, and Liz to the two men.

"It's starting! That kid actually dared to go looking for Commander Warwick and Commander Linda!"

The surrounding mercenaries all stared wide-eyed as the three parties gradually approached, their faces showing expressions of anticipation, looking forward to the scene of the two captains teaching Anno a lesson.
