I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Valkam!

After the zombie army withdrew, the city's chamber of commerce immediately organized its members to evacuate.

The professionals trained by the Chamber of Commerce remained in the city to assist Viscount Renault in defending it.

It wasn't that these merchants were generous; they also wanted to take the professionals with them, otherwise the journey wouldn't be safe.

But the kingdom's third prince is still here.

There are also sixth-tier powerhouses preparing to resolve the cursed inner demons and the cursed land.

These professionals were conscripted to stay here and deal with the zombie army.

On the southern wall of Walkam.

The cursed demon gazed at the walls of Val'kam from several kilometers away, while the black mist rising from the ground beneath its feet continuously seeped into its wounds to heal.

Kun stood on the south city wall, his gaze seemingly transcending distance to meet the gaze of the cursed inner demon.

Tester was standing next to Quinn, explaining what had happened earlier.

From yesterday's contact between the Tenth Army and the remnants of the monsters, to the appearance of the lich, Asar and Jonas going into battle, and then the lich's heart being teleported over after its death.

They eventually escaped back to Valkam.

Tester revealed all the details that were not mentioned in the letter of distress.

After listening, Kun frowned deeply.

"If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any other high-level monsters on the other side besides the Cursed Heart Demon."

Otherwise, the Tenth Army would be annihilated before it even had a chance to engage the remnants of the Demon King's army, once the enemy made their move.

The appearance of a fourth-tier lich on the battlefield can almost change the course of the battle, let alone a sixth-tier lich.

"It seems we were overthinking it!"

Kun looked at Leonard, who was meditating and recovering his magic power not far away, and sighed. "The cursed inner demon should be a casual attack from a higher-level being after that fourth-tier lich sacrificed many souls and flesh."

Apart from the cursed inner demon, there are no other high-level monsters here.

However, we have already missed our chance.

If Kun had known this information from the beginning, he and Leonard would definitely have attacked the cursed inner demon without reservation.

However, because they were worried that there might be a powerful expert hiding behind the cursed inner demon, they dared not attack with all their might.

Furthermore, the Cursed Demon is already quite powerful within the area of ​​the Cursed Land.

During the battle, Quinn and Leonard discovered that in a one-on-one fight, he might not be able to defeat his opponent in a short time.

So even when Leonard had exhausted too much magic and the two had to retreat, they were only injured by the cursed inner demon.

Now, Leonard is regaining his magic.

Once the Cursed Demon recovers from its injuries, it will definitely attack Val'kam at night.

Kun was worried that once the battle began, neither he nor Leonard alone could stop the cursed inner demon.

If the latter disregards everything and rushes into the city to wreak havoc...

Even if they later killed the cursed inner demon, all they saved was a dead city.

This also meant that even after Leonard recovered some of his magic power, he dared not teleport back to the capital to bring more people.

This round trip will take at least half an hour.

If the cursed troll discovers Leonard's use of teleportation magic to leave and attacks immediately afterward, Val'kam will also suffer.

The safest approach would be for him and Leonard to stand atop the city walls to deter the cursed inner demons, and then work together to deal with them after the enemy attacks.

In this way, the tens of thousands of zombies would have to be dealt with by the Val'kam's professionals.

Fortunately, Sylvia is still there.

"Your Highness, Leonard will probably be back to his peak form by nightfall."

Undead creatures are strengthened at night, and the Cursed Inner Demons will also attack Val'kam during this time.

Leonard and I will eliminate the curse and inner demons as soon as possible.

However, those zombies will cause a lot of trouble for Val'kam during this period.

Please organize the city's professionals, under Sylvia's protection, to resist the zombie army.

After saying that, Kun glanced at Viscount Renault standing beside him and said, "Viscount Renault, you should also stay with His Highness the Prince. If you really can't hold them off, Sylvia will protect you both during your retreat."

It's not that Kun doesn't want to consider the common people.

He learned that the strongest beings in Val'kam were now less than ten level 15 second-tier professionals, and all of them were still professional mentors.

They realized they were no match for the zombie army.

Moreover, 300,000 people cannot be evacuated in a short period of time.

Without protection, ordinary people wouldn't even have the ability to fight back if they encountered ferocious monsters on the road.

"Before you evacuate, you have only one mission: hold on! Hold on until Leonard and I kill the Cursed Inner Demon and come back."

Kun looked at Sylvia.

The other person nodded silently and then began to pray.

Viscount Renault thought that the crisis in Valcalm would be resolved once reinforcements arrived.

But who would have thought that the other party actually had a sixth-tier cursed inner demon?

"What a series of misfortunes!"

Viscount Renault discovered that Valckham seemed to have been living under constant threat lately.

From the Forbidden Forest to the Aier Mountains, and now to the Cursed Inner Demon.

"How are we supposed to fight off so many zombies?!"

Although Viscount Renault felt physically and mentally exhausted, he couldn't sleep at all because of the battle he would face that night.

Some of the professionals in the city were lost while defending the city in the morning.

Currently, in addition to the two hundred guards, there are eight hundred professionals in Val'kam, five hundred of whom are Tier 1 professionals.

As for mercenaries and adventurers, only a handful of small fry remained.

Warwick, Linda, and Anno, along with their elite troops, are in grave danger.

Renault walked to the edge of the city wall, looking back at the panicked Val'kam, and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

He has been running this business here for ten years.

Walkam was transformed from ruins into a city of 300,000 people.

He secretly cultivated his power, vowing to avenge his political enemies who had framed him and murdered his wife and children.

But they never expected that they would face the threat of an undead army when the plan was only half completed.

Just as Renault was planning his next move, a soldier climbed the steps up the city wall, knelt before him, and said, "Your Excellency, President Anault has returned!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this name, not only Renault was taken aback, but even Tester next to him was full of surprise.

"That guy not only didn't die, he actually came back!"

Tester's eyes lit up.

If even Anno can come back alive, then is it possible that Selena can also survive?

The two were born to the same queen.

Tester also doted on his sister.

The reason I brought Selena along was because she begged me so much.

"Where is he? Get him up here quickly!"

Tester's tone was somewhat hurried, which puzzled Kun, who was standing next to him.

The soldier who delivered the message left and soon returned with Anno.

Anno came alone, and he sent Liz back to the Adventurers' Guild first.

After all, there are sixth-tier beings here, and Anopalis's identity as a succubus has already been exposed.

"Your Excellency, Your Highness!"

As Anno greeted the two, his gaze also swept over Leonard, Quinn, and Sylvia.

He had already guessed that there would be a big battle tonight.

These are all top talents; let's get acquainted with them first.

However, Tester charged at him as soon as he came up.

He asked urgently, "Anno, how did you escape the zombie horde? Did you see Selena during your escape?"

Tester's second question was purely a desperate attempt to find a solution.

He knew in his heart that if Anno had encountered the zombies chasing Selena, he wouldn't be alive now.

But Tester didn't expect that Anno would give him an affirmative answer to his question.

"Coincidentally, I did encounter Her Highness the Princess while I was on the run."

After the adventurers and I rescued the princess, we had others transport her to the city of Glad in the eastern border overnight. She is currently out of danger.

As she spoke, Anno turned to look at Renault and smiled, "Miss Laura has also been sent there and is safe now."

Anno then recounted the part of the rescue that he could.

Tester was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

He was really just asking casually.

Viscount Renault breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Laura was alright, and looked at Anno with great satisfaction.

He had no idea that the person in front of him, Anno, was the same expert who had used the self-destruct strategy under the city wall earlier!

Upon hearing that Anno had saved Selena, Kun and Sylvia, who were praying nearby, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The former's eyes were full of praise.

The latter glanced at it and then continued to pray with his eyes closed.

"Oh, right, Anno, I have a quest to post with the Adventurers' Guild!"

Renault hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind.

Although there are some dangers, isn't it normal for a son-in-law to protect the family business within his capabilities?

Besides, it's not like he doesn't give rewards.

Moreover, at this time, all professionals will be conscripted.

Anno will not have any special privileges either.

"As expected, the zombie army will attack the city tonight. I want to issue a city defense mission! I wonder what level this mission would be according to the Adventurers' Guild's ranking system?"
