I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Looking at Viscount Renault's serious expression, Anno said speechlessly, "We have no grudge against each other, why would you want to harm me?"

"Hey, how is this harming you?"

Viscount Renault said irritably, "Now you are one of the top experts in Val'kam, and you have the ability to do this."

"If you succeed in the assassination, I'll marry Laura to you!"

"I won't do it!"

Upon hearing this, Anno jumped up from his chair.

Good grief, killing two birds with one stone, huh!

Not only did they marry off their daughter, but they also saved on the bride price.

Besides, is Count Werner so easy to assassinate?

They stay in Glad City every day, and they have a large number of guards when they go out.

Among them were many powerful individuals at the peak of the third tier.

Even if Anno had the ability, he would never have the chance to get close to Count Wei.

"Hmph, I know you're worried that getting involved in my fight with Way Dick will cause others to misunderstand the Adventurers' Guild's stance."

After being decisively rejected by Anno, Viscount Renault understood his intentions.

"But you don't need to worry about this at all. In the past, battles between nobles would be fought by hiring mercenaries."

No one cares who's helping them; all they care about is winning or losing.

But if you help me win this battle, it will actually increase the Adventurers' Guild's reputation.

When you open your Adventurers' Guild in the capital later, even more people will choose to join.

"The problem isn't whether to help or not, but the difficulty of the assassination. If I were to assassinate Count Wei now, I'm afraid I might go and not come back alive."

Who knows what trump cards these nobles have up their sleeves? If Anno dares to head straight to Gray City with dozens of summoned creatures, there's a high chance he'll lose his life there.

Seeing that Renault still wanted to speak, Anno said, "It's not that I won't take on missions. I've already issued the missions you gave to the Adventurers' Guild. Besides, when the war with Glad City starts, the Adventurers' Guild will participate after receiving the commission!"

In Anno's heart, he also didn't want Viscount Renault to lose.

"Okay, okay, that's good!"

Viscount Renault's face immediately lit up with a smile upon receiving Anno's promise.

Ultimately, it was because Viscount Renault's subordinates were too incompetent.

The strongest at present is only at the peak of the second tier.

Without the assistance of Anno's Adventurers' Guild, he lacked confidence in waging war against Glad City.

"Your Excellency, I must return now!"

The war won't break out anytime soon, and Anno doesn't need to face Glad City right now.

"Leaving already? Not staying for lunch?"

Viscount Renault walked to the door, watched Anno's departing figure, and his smile vanished.

He summoned his guards and ordered, "Yale is useless now. Dispose of him. Secretly send his head to Glen City and dump it in the square!"

"yes!"

......

After leaving the Viscount's manor, Anno eventually returned to the Adventurers' Guild.

He is now level 16.

It takes a full 100,000 experience points to advance to the next level.

Killing a level 16 creature only grants 1,000 experience points.

Creatures below Tier 2 no longer provide experience points.

To continue leveling up, you must fight against third-tier creatures.

However, there are basically no Tier 3 creatures near Val'kam now.

In the Ai'er Mountains, besides the remnants of the Demon King's army, there are also a few third-tier magical beasts.

But Liz said there weren't many, otherwise Anno would have already gone to kill them.

There are quite a few Tier 3 powerhouses in Glad City.

You can also gain experience by fighting against strong human opponents.

This is also why Anno intends to participate in the war.

"Once things settle down in Glai City, we'll find a way to get to the front lines and fight the Demon King's army. Even though the great war hasn't started yet, there will still be plenty of powerful demons on the front lines!"

Anno sat in the Adventurers' Guild and began writing a new version of the monster encyclopedia.

For the next two weeks, Anno went to the Valley of Ossans to fight third-tier magical beasts and level up, while also keeping an eye on the battle between Glad City and Valkam.

The sight of Yale's head being thrown into the center of Glen City's largest square completely enraged Earl Webber.

All the clues pointed to his old rival, Viscount Renault.

In order to recruit enough soldiers more quickly, Count Wei improved the soldiers' treatment.

The mercenaries of Glad City had all heard the news and knew that Earl Wayne was going to attack Valcalm in the south.

The people of Glad City were also aware of Valkam's strength.

That was a place where neither official soldiers nor mercenaries had any third-tier professionals.

Moreover, due to a lack of resources, development has been very slow.

In short, Warkam is a poor and weak city.

Given the strength of Glad City, attacking them would be a complete rout, with no danger whatsoever.

As a result, the number of soldiers in Glad City quickly increased from 1,500 to 3,000!

The extra people are all newly recruited.

Increasing the number of soldiers is intended to demonstrate strength and boost morale.

Although the extra people will be stripped of their soldier status after the war ends—Earl Wei wouldn't spend a lot of military funds to support a group of people when there's no war.

In addition to soldiers, Count Wei also commissioned several mercenary groups to participate in the war.

How can nobles go to war without mercenary groups to serve as cannon fodder?

In contrast, news from the spies who entered Valcalm indicated that Viscount Renault now had fewer than five hundred soldiers.

The spies who entered Valcalm were mostly discovered by Renault's men and the Adventurers' Guild.

They arrested most of the spies, leaving only a few behind.

These spies believed their identities had not been exposed.

But the information they gathered each day was all deliberately given to them by Viscount Renault.

In this way, the secret messages sent to Glad City were naturally things that Viscount Renault wanted Count Wey to know.

However, Count Werner had not anticipated this.

The messages from several spies were consistent, so he believed what was written in the secret letter.

Glad City vs. Valcalm!

Three thousand soldiers versus five hundred soldiers!

Don't say that Val'kam doesn't have Tier 3 soldiers.

Even if they did, they would be doomed to defeat against the Glad City army, which had a large number of Tier 3 soldiers.

As for the mercenaries who participated in the war in Val'kam.

The secret letter that Count Werke received stated that only one mercenary group called the Adventurers' Guild participated in the battlefield battle in Val'kam.

"Only one mercenary group is participating in the war. It seems that the mercenaries in Val'kam also know that the situation is not good for them."

Count Wei instructed a maid to pass the secret letter to his generals.

"My lord, how do we explain this to the capital?"

One person in the room asked a question.

With the demons invading from the outside, the capital city naturally did its utmost to prevent wars between nobles.

"My sons have been killed, so it's only right that I seek revenge. Even the King can't interfere!"

As a member of the aristocracy, Count Wei would not stop this invasion just because of the capital's persuasion.

Moreover, the killing of Yale was merely a pretext for sending troops.

The real purpose is to eliminate the problem completely.

"You barely survived last time, I thought you'd live on. But you're still up to no good, this time I'll send you to meet your wife and children! Hahaha..."
