I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Anno rode a griffin, with Gavin's corpse hanging beneath it, soaring across the chaotic battlefield and loudly proclaiming Gavin's death.

"Gavin Dick is dead. Surrender and you will not be killed!"

When the smoke cleared, the soldiers of Glad City near the explosion saw the mangled bodies and severed limbs of the knights and warhorses that were exposed, and they all gave up resistance.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield a little further away, the soldiers who were fighting felt a chill run down their spines when they heard Anno's announcement and saw the corpses hanging from the griffin's claws.

If Anno is lying, a messenger will surely come out with Gavin's orders to prove him wrong.

The soldiers of Kegray did not receive the messenger who proved the falsehood.

Instead, the soldiers centered around Gavin's death immediately laid down their weapons and surrendered.

This movement quickly spread to the surrounding area, further confirming the news of Gavin's death.

More and more soldiers dropped their weapons and squatted on the ground to surrender.

In other areas of the battlefield, the adventurers were completely overwhelmed by the soldiers of Glad City due to their level difference.

But upon hearing the message from Anno who flew over, all the adventurers, as if injected with adrenaline, roared and charged towards the enemy.

He saw adventurers, who were clearly lower level than him, surrounding him with fierce expressions.

The soldiers of Glad City eventually surrendered their weapons and put their hands behind their heads.

Surrendering and becoming a prisoner offers a chance of survival.

Continuing to fight will only lead to certain death.

Those who can kill Gavin are definitely no match for him.

As for those mercenaries who were already terrified of being beaten.

Upon hearing of Gavin's death, he immediately knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to the bald man who was chasing after him, begging for mercy.

"My lord, we surrender! We surrender! Please stop killing us!"

"Surrender! Surrender!"

"My lord, spare my life!"

Seeing this, Lu Zhishang naturally stopped.

After all, he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.

Have the adventurers around you gather the surrendered mercenaries together.

He then sat on the ground and began chanting sutras and mantras, performing a collective ritual to help the souls of the people around him find peace.

As more and more soldiers surrendered upon hearing the news of Gavin's death, the battlefield gradually returned to calm.

Of the three thousand soldiers of Glad City and one thousand mercenaries, a total of two thousand five hundred were captured!

The entire battle took less than half an hour.

This is what Anno meant by using absolute strength to achieve a swift victory on the main battlefield.

In fact, if the soldiers of Glad City had not surrendered after learning of Gavin's death...

Anno then prepared to throw the corpses of the Tier 3 soldiers he had previously killed with [Poison Fungus] into the soldiers.

Use [Calamity] directly on the battlefield!

As long as your own people avoid the area in advance, the speed at which the [Disaster] clears out the minions will definitely increase exponentially.

Victory ultimately belonged to Valcalm.

However, killing so many soldiers did not bring much benefit, but rather a lot of harm.

Therefore, Anno was very satisfied with the other party's decisive surrender.

While Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen led the priest team directly to the battlefield from the rear to treat the wounded, Anno came to Viscount Renault's side.

"Your Excellency, mission accomplished!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

Viscount Renault, mounted on his horse, gazed excitedly at the large group of prisoners squatting on the ground ahead.

In this war, both Val'kam's soldiers and adventurers suffered casualties.

But it's only one-third of the size of Glad City.

This is because the professional level in Val'kam is slightly lower.

Otherwise, the casualties could have been reduced even further!

After all, the soldiers of Glad City were exhausted from the very beginning of the battle.

Furthermore, Val'kam's professionals are not only full of energy, but also have the [Command] bonus from Liz.

In addition, Anuo, Xue Feibai and others attracted and killed all the third-tier enemies at the beginning of the battle.

Meng Xin, a thief, also led her team of thieves to assassinate many enemy mages with the help of the harpy, effectively reducing her own casualties.

Gavin's rapid death led to a relatively quick end to the normal war.

Therefore, Valkam suffered only about 500 casualties.

"In a direct confrontation, we defeated three thousand soldiers and so many mercenaries from Glad City. The Adventurers' Guild deserves immense credit!"

Viscount Renault had been observing the battle and naturally knew that it was Anno and his group who were guiding the course of the war.

Those thousand gold coins were definitely well spent!

"With this victory, those nobles who have designs on Valkam will have to think twice about their own worth."

Viscount Renault snorted.

From the very beginning, Valcalm was not favored in the match against Glad City.

If word of the battle here gets out, it will probably shock all the nobles!

No one will ever again think of Walkam as a place where people can be slaughtered.

"What should we do next, Viscount?"

Anno asked at the opportune moment.

Viscount Renault's smile gradually faded as he looked at the thousands of prisoners.

Although the war was won, problems could easily arise if things are not handled properly afterward.

If these prisoners are imprisoned, given their strength, if a riot breaks out, the guards simply won't be able to hold them off.

We can't keep having Anno and his men guarding the area indefinitely.

Should we put them back?

That's even more impossible!

Viscount Renault felt that even if these soldiers were grateful to him in their hearts, they would not dare to disobey an earl's orders the next time Earl Way ordered an attack.

Then, these soldiers will become the enemy again.

After thinking it over, I found another way.

That means killing all these prisoners!

However, the consequence of doing so is that the prisoners will fight to the death.

Even if they are all eventually killed, Viscount Renault and the Adventurers' Guild will be infamous throughout the Kingdom of Nigar.

"Anno, do you have any suggestions?"

Viscount Renault's joy at the victory had faded, and he asked Anno for advice.

Anno turned to look towards the eastern border and asked, "Does Your Excellency know how many soldiers are in Glai City?"

"How many soldiers?"

Renault frowned and replied, "According to the scouts, the soldiers in Glad City usually number 1500. This time, for the attack on Valcalm, Count Weir expanded to 3000, but in reality, there are 3500. Besides the 3000 who went into battle, there are 500 left to defend Glad City!"

"Yes, there are only 500 people in Glad City right now!"

Anno's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he continued, "You have been corresponding with the Third Prince recently, asking him if there are any fourth-tier experts in Glad City."

When the Third Prince left Valcam, he went to Glad City to question Earl Weir and also saw the guards around Earl Weir.

Therefore, we learned that there are no fourth-tier professionals in Glad City!

"Gree City, a place with no fourth-tier professionals and only 500 soldiers guarding it... I think it has great potential!"

Viscount Renault raised an eyebrow, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "You mean...?"

"Given Earl Way's status, I think you can issue a Gold-level quest: [Capture Earl of Gladwell - Way Dick]."

After all, the other party is a count, and assassinating a count would be detrimental to the Adventurers' Guild's future development in the capital.

But capture them first, then let Viscount Renault kill them.

The meaning is different.
