I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Every so often, an explosive monster will fall from the sky.

Soldiers within the blast radius who react slowly or fail to activate their protective abilities will either be killed or seriously injured!

Moreover, the aerial attacks seemed to be able to clearly see the soldiers' positions.

They always target the most densely populated areas.

Although each bombing only kills a few unlucky guys.

But anyone can be the unlucky one.

Gavin was helpless about this.

There wasn't anyone in the entire military camp who could fly.

Among the soldiers who are hunters, quite a few tame flying magical beasts.

However, none of them are particularly strong.

They were wiped out by summoned creatures such as giant eagles and griffins as soon as they took off.

Having lost their only remaining air combat capability, the entire army could only watch helplessly as monster bombs rained down from the sky.

Gavin had considered leading his troops away from the area and hiding in a forest.

However, marching at night is inherently difficult, and there are no forests in the surrounding area.

As the troops began to move, the number of bombs in the sky suddenly increased.

It used to be a wave every half hour, but now it's a wave every two or three minutes.

Soldiers suffered a sharp increase in casualties.

In that case, it would be better to stay where you are and wait to be bombed.

The soldiers, living in constant fear and on high alert for attacks from above, had no time to sleep.

As the sky grew cooler, the soldiers, who hadn't slept all night, suddenly realized that the attack from above had finally stopped.

However, all the soldiers looked exhausted, and their eyes were bloodshot.

Even Gavin seemed somewhat dejected.

Half of the attacks in the latter half of the night were directed at him.

Although he managed to dodge or activate his defensive skills to block the damage each time, he was still quite disgusted by it.

"Renault! This must be one of your tricks!"

Gavin stared in Walkam's direction, gritting his teeth, and said, "Is this your last resort? Hahaha, it's useless!"

The incident resulted in over a hundred casualties overnight.

Now you're out of options, aren't you?

Out of consideration for your noble status, I originally intended to give you a dignified death.

But now, I'm going to make you suffer terribly before you die!

Gavin hated Renault to the core.

Although he didn't know how Renault managed to carry out last night's attack.

However, the fact that the attacks were mainly harassment also shows that Renault had run out of options.

"Sir, shall we rest now, or continue our march?"

The deputy general who walked over from the side asked cautiously.

"Rest? Do you think a team of three thousand needs to be undefeated to win against five hundred?"

Gavin looked at his lieutenant with a gloomy gaze and said in a cold voice, "Have all the soldiers leave now. I need to get to Walkam before noon."

Then, attack!

"How dare you toy with me like this! I can't wait to crush that old bastard Renault under my feet!"

"Yes, sir!" The adjutant knew Gavin was in a bad mood and dared not disobey his orders.

But just as he turned around to give the order, he saw a mercenary rushing towards him from a distance.

"Report...Reporting, sir! A large number of soldiers have appeared ahead. Judging from the patterns on their banners, they are Val'kam soldiers!"

"What?"

Gavin's eyes widened, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

It's about 20 kilometers from here to Warkam.

Instead of defending Val'kam, they actually dared to come here to fight?

"How is this possible?"

Gavin was completely incredulous.

But by then it was already bright daylight, and visibility was no longer obstructed.

Several hundred meters away on the horizon, a large number of blurry human figures did indeed appear.

"All troops, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Upon seeing this, the lieutenant immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.

The soldiers, their eyes red with fear, mustered their strength, reorganized their ranks, and pointed their weapons at the oncoming troops.

Rumble...

As the advancing troops drew closer, surprise appeared in the eyes of the soldiers around Gavin.

Didn't they say that Val'kam only had five hundred soldiers?

But the number of soldiers rushing towards them, dressed in standard armor, looked to be over a thousand!

That's fine.

Three thousand against one thousand – by any measure, they have the advantage.

But who are those professionals next to the Val'kam soldiers?

That number must be over three thousand!

"Are you kidding me!"

Gavin rushed to the front of the group, looking at the flag bearing the Renault family crest held high opposite them, as well as the unknown flags fluttering among the mercenary ranks, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Where did all these people come from? Was the intelligence brought back by the scouts we sent over earlier all false?"

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The lieutenant looked at Gavin, a thought of backing out creeping into his mind.

Their troops had been marching for a day yesterday, and were already exhausted when they were bombed all night.

Walkam's troops were clearly well-prepared, and each one was in high spirits.

Moreover, we are sorry about the enemy's numbers and intelligence.

The number of people on both sides is now equal.

If a fight breaks out, who knows who will come out on the losing end!

"What else can we do? They're already here, are they going to let us leave?"

Gavin drew his greatsword and shouted to the surrounding soldiers, "Soldiers of Glad City, kill the enemies ahead, and endless riches await you!"

"Oh!" the soldiers responded listlessly.

On the other hand, look at the other side.

Viscount Renault, who was personally leading the army, raised his longsword and roared at the soldiers around him, "Soldiers, defeat the invading enemy and defend our city!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Thousands of soldiers roared in unison.

Half of these soldiers were recruits that Renault had picked up from among the adventurers—there are always some professionals who prefer to be noble soldiers rather than adventurers.

Viscount Renault turned to the adventurers led by Anno and said, "Adventurers, I'm counting on you this time too!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Thousands of adventurers raised their weapons and charged forward with thousands of soldiers.

These people are mostly first-order, with only a few hundred second-order individuals.

But when they rushed up, they felt that their various qualities had improved by about 30% compared to before!

Everyone felt as if they had inexhaustible strength at that moment.

"Anno, fighting on the plains results in far greater casualties than defending a city!"

Renault watched the soldiers and adventurers charging forward and said to Anno beside him, "Although I said we need to establish our authority in this battle so we can smoothly take over Glad City later, is it really necessary to do this?"

"Don't worry, I've already scouted the strength of the Glai City soldiers; they pose little threat!"

Anno glanced at Liz beside him and smiled, "You just need to hand over command to me for the time being!"

After all, the reward you gave to the Adventurers' Guild this time adds up to over a thousand gold coins.

No matter what, we have to get our money's worth!

Anno smiled at Reno, then instructed Liz to protect Reno before riding his griffin into battle.

When they reached the center of the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides were still hundreds of meters apart.

"So it was you!"

Gavin, who was at the rear of the army, saw Anno riding a griffin and gritted his teeth.

This griffin appeared more than once last night.

Gavin pointed at Anno and ordered his third-tier subordinates, "Go and kill him!"

"yes!"

The group accepted the order and immediately rushed towards Anno.

Seeing that the two sides' soldiers were about to collide, Anno, who was in mid-air, jumped down from a low altitude.

As soon as he landed, a volley of magic from Geng Qingxue's mage squad swept over him and fell towards the opposite side.

The magicians of Glad City were also about to unleash their magic when a piercing scream suddenly rang out from the sky.

All the magicians felt a moment of mental confusion, and then the magic was interrupted.

"Harpy!"

Someone spotted a harpy flying overhead and exclaimed in alarm.

But then, a series of explosions rang out in front of us.

A large number of soldiers from Glad City were hit by the magic.
