I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The mercenary formation, having lost nearly a hundred men in a single blow by Lu Zhishang, had no courage to continue fighting.

Upon seeing a bald man approaching with a stick, the mercenaries would rather be slashed twice by their opponent than not run away.

These mercenaries are already terrified and will soon be routed.

While Lu Zhishang was dealing with the mercenaries, Xue Feibai led adventurers and Valkam soldiers to attack the soldiers of Glad City.

In terms of quantity, it's 3000 vs 3000.

Although the professionals in Valkam are of a lower rank than those in Glad City.

However, with Liz's [Command] bonus, the early game can still be stabilized.

Moreover, there's Xue Feibai, the battle maniac, and Geng Qingxue, who has already advanced to the third rank.

Geng Qingxue's talent [Magic Amplification] can now amplify magic power by 40%.

With the same [Fire Rain] spell, Geng Qingxue's Fire Rain has a much wider coverage and greater power than that of other mages of the same rank.

Thanks to their exceptional talent, Geng Qingxue and her companions had learned a great deal of skills from their respective mentors over a period of time.

After being amplified in Geng Qingxue's hands, all kinds of fire magic would take away a life with each hit.

On the main battlefield, there was also Xue Feibai, a battle maniac.

With his current strength, dealing with second-tier soldiers is like cutting melons and vegetables.

As a nimble fighter, Xue Feibai was already strong in both strength and speed.

Even though the soldiers who rushed forward were wearing armor, they could not stop Xue Feibai's blade.

Geng Qingxue and Xue Feibai, who caused numerous casualties, naturally caught Gavin's attention.

Ten Tier 3 soldiers have already surrounded the man riding the griffin, and several others have also joined the battle.

Gavin was left with only five Tier 3 guards.

With a wave of his right hand, the three third-tier guards beside him immediately rushed onto the battlefield.

One of them was a warrior wearing heavy armor, level 18.

He and a level 17 mage rushed towards Xue Feibai's location.

Another level 16 thief, as he rushed toward Geng Qingxue's location, gradually disappeared into thin air.

However, if you look closely, you can still see a transparent human-shaped outline.

On the battlefield, no one has time to carefully observe their surroundings.

Taking advantage of his powerful stealth ability, the thief killed several soldiers on his way to find Geng Qingxue.

When the thief infiltrated the mage group where Geng Qingxue was located, less than 100 meters from the front line, he saw the knights guarding the area.

"A bunch of second-tier knights! By the time you spotted me, I had already succeeded in my assassination!"

The thief easily bypassed the outer knights and slowly approached Geng Qingxue, who was casting a spell. The dagger hidden in his sleeve slid into his hand.

Just as he was about to make his move, Lü Yan, who was guarding Geng Qingxue, suddenly turned around and stabbed him with her spear.

"How is that possible?"

The thief had not expected this at all. Although he tried his best to dodge, his abdomen was still pierced by the spear tip.

Seeing Lü Yan's actions and the blood that suddenly dripped onto the open ground, the surrounding knights realized that a thief had broken in.

They immediately looked warily in the direction the blood was dripping.

"Watch out, he's still nearby!"

Lu Yan held up a small shield, his yellowish pupils constantly scanning his surroundings.

She originally intended to charge forward with the main force.

However, Anuo asked her to stay behind and guard Geng Qingxue.

After all, she is now one of the strongest knights in Val'kam.

From his mentor, Lü Yan learned the [Eye of Discipline], a skill that, once activated, allows him to sense stealthy creatures within a five-meter radius.

This is a skill that is extremely effective against thieves, and it is very difficult to learn.

Many knights only learn this skill, which can be learned at the second rank, when they reach the third or even fourth rank.

However, Lü Yan mastered the basics in just ten days.

That's why Anuo arranged for her to protect Geng Qingxue; otherwise, she would have left Lu Zhishang, who had already achieved the "Abstinence from Killing" state, by Geng Qingxue's side.

Geng Qingxue glanced at Lü Yan beside her, then continued casting spells forward.

The forced-away thief covered his wound with his hand to prevent the blood from flowing out and giving him away.

"Damn it, how did this second-tier female knight detect me? There's a yellow light flashing in her pupils, could it be the [Eye of Discipline]? Isn't that skill usually only learned by third-tier knights?"

The thief cursed his bad luck inwardly.

Even if the opponent was only a second-tier knight, with the [Eye of Discipline], it was impossible for him to assassinate him silently.

So, should we abandon the mission and leave?

No, no!

Geng Qingxue was originally a third-tier mage, with third-tier magic plus talent bonuses, plus Liss's [Command] bonus.

As long as she has magic, she is a turret all by herself!

The key point is that Geng Qingxue's magic power limit is also very high, reaching 30,000!

Before Anno obtained Philomena's divinity, he only had 10,000 magic power at level 16.

A third-tier spell costs 1000-2000.

Geng Qingxue can now use second-tier magic to cause effective damage, consuming only 500-1000 points.

Seeing that Geng Qingxue kept casting spells, causing a large number of casualties.

And there was no sign of its magic power running out.

If the thief returns empty-handed, he will surely be blamed by Gavin.

"So what if you're a second-tier knight? Do you think I, a third-tier knight, can't beat you?"

Gritting his teeth, the thief decided to charge straight in.

Kill the female knight first, then the female mage.

Lu Yan held his spear horizontally to the side of his shield, warily observing his surroundings.

"Anno said that the enemy will definitely send a third-tier thief to ambush us, and he wants me to hold them off. Anno believes in my abilities, and I must protect Sister Xue."

Lü Yan took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

Her intuition told her that the thief was still nearby.

A faint yellow light began to appear on the surface of the spear in his hand.

Suddenly, a dagger flew out from an open space, heading straight for Geng Qingxue's left side.

By the time the nearby knight squad reacted, the dagger was already almost in front of Geng Qingxue.

At the critical moment, a tall figure circled around Geng Qingxue and timely raised a shield to block the dagger thrown from the side.

The dagger struck the round shield with a sharp "thud".

Then, Lü Yan's [Eye of Discipline] saw again a few meters ahead, a faint humanoid silhouette rushing towards him.

"Go to hell!"

The thief roared and, gripping the dagger in his backhand, lunged straight for Lü Yan's neck.

"[Shield of Glory]!"

With a sharp shout, Lü Yan's small round shield on his left hand emitted a yellow light that spread outwards, transforming it into a light shield several times larger.

when!

Despite activating her defensive skills, Lü Yan was still knocked back by the third-tier thief's full-force attack, and her body fell backward.

Before the thief could even smile, he saw a long spear, carrying an aura that seemed capable of piercing through anything, hurtling straight toward him.

"[Trial]!"

This is the first time Lü Yan has built up the momentum for the "trial" for ten days.

This was also the first time she had witnessed just how powerful the [Judgment] truly was when it was fully charged.

After Lü Yan threw the spear, its tip tore through the air, creating a series of sonic booms all around.

Like a streak of light.

In an instant, it pierced the thief's body and disappeared into the horizon—the spear, thrown while the thief was in a falling state, flew towards him at an upward angle.

The thief, still in stealth mode, was now in front of everyone.

It only includes the lower body below the abdomen...

A third-tier thief was instantly killed by a second-tier [Judgment] attack that had been fully charged!

As Lü Yan successfully killed the assassinating thief, Xue Feibai, who had activated [Berserk] mode, also cleaved the heavily armored warrior in front of him into pieces.

Surrounded by blood-red energy, Xue Feibai once again displayed the ferocious fighting stance of the [Extreme Ferocious Tiger] to the adventurers.

As for the magician who accompanied the heavily armored warrior to fight Xue Feibai.

From a great distance, Xue Feibai used his [Blood Qi Slash], which he had already practiced to the third level, to cleave it in two.

Xue Feibai's victory greatly inspired the surrounding Valkam soldiers.

Anno, who was surrounded by ten Tier 3 soldiers, made everyone realize why he was the president of the Adventurers' Guild.

Forty summoned creatures appeared simultaneously.

Five level 15 flying summons.

Thirty-two level 16 undead zombie summons.

Three level 16 monster summons.

The ten people surrounding Anno were instantly surrounded.

Then use the [Berserk] skill on the summoned creatures, followed by ten consecutive [Poison Fungus] skills on the enemy.

The summoned creatures have been strengthened, resulting in a surge in combat power.

Of the Tier 3 soldiers in Glad City, all but two knights who used shield skills were affected by the [Poison Fungus].

In just one minute, the ten level 16 and 18 Tier 3 soldiers were torn to pieces by the berserk summons.

"We can recruit the lower-level professionals to our side. We just need to kill all the higher-level professionals, and they will naturally be filled with fear."

Anno glanced at the retreating soldiers of Glad City around him, then looked at Gavin in the distance, a smile playing on his lips.

"It's your turn!"
