I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

At the center of a volcano.

Red lava flowed everywhere.

Waves of heat swept in, and the air was filled with a pungent smell.

In this active volcano, where there should be no life, a group of people wearing heat-resistant cloaks were gathered around a platform.

Directly in front of the platform, there is a dark monster statue crouching on a stone seat.

This monster had a face like a little devil, pointed ears, fangs, and wings on its back.

Its sharp claws gripped a trident, and its eye sockets even emitted a red glow.

As the red light faded, the figures in front of the statue knelt down in solemn worship.

Then, the leader turned and said, "You are all aware of the divine decree. Now, let us set off immediately for the southern part of the continent of Angoros, which is the territory of the Kingdom of Nigal!"

The cloaked figures nodded silently and then left the volcano.

Within the territory of the Roland Empire, the Holy Church!

The eighth-ranking archbishop convened an emergency meeting and then issued a mission.

Those who received the order set off for the southern border of the Kingdom of Nigar.

In addition to the Holy Church, the eighth-tier Storm Knights of the Discipline Temple also dispatched knights to the Kingdom of Nigar.

Since Philomena's throne appeared in the outside world, all the gods who sensed the aura of the Summoning God issued divine pronouncements to their believers.

Because the awakening of the god of summoning was too absurd, and the gods feared it might be a trap set by the enemy, they sent their followers to test the waters first...

In Glad City, Anno, who had just killed Count Wey, was unaware of the actions taking place thousands of miles away.

Killing Count Weir instantly increased Annu's experience by two-thirds, bringing him one step closer to level 18.

Moreover, he obtained Count Waver's demonic soul.

As Anno expected, the rest of the team also advanced to the third tier!

Lu Yan and the others have been stuck at level 15 for almost half a month, and this is just the final step.

The group's strength has increased further, which means that Anno can...

Anno looked at Augustine and the few Tier 3 soldiers behind him with a regretful expression.

"Why do I get the feeling that he wants to kill me?"

Augustine swallowed hard and involuntarily took two steps back.

Anno watched for a while, then shook his head.

They temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​attacking Augustine.

Although the opponent was seriously injured, Anno himself only had one Tier 3 summon left.

Of course, Anno himself is also very strong.

With Xue Feibai and others around, they wouldn't be afraid of Augustine.

There's simply no need to take the risk.

Moreover, after Count Werner's death, these soldiers could all be recruited by Renault.

Even after acquiring the vast city of Glad, soldiers were still needed to maintain order.

After glancing at Augustine, Anno turned and went into the Count's room.

Ignoring the servants hiding in every nook and cranny of the room, as well as Count Wey's children and wife, Anno returned to Count Wey's bedroom and entered the secret passage.

After a while, Anno emerged from the underground treasure room with a smile and walked up to Augustine, saying, "I don't need to elaborate on Count Weir's fall into darkness and become a demon. I'll tell you something you don't know."

Augustine asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"The forces of Glad City that attacked Valcalm have been defeated. Before long, the army of Valcalm will arrive outside Glad City, and Viscount Renault will take over Glad City."

"What?" Augustine's first reaction upon hearing this was that Anno was lying to him.

But then he realized that Anno had no reason to lie to him.

The outcome of a war cannot be changed by the words of any one person.

Then, considering that Anno and the others were here.

Count Werner was then assassinated, transformed into a demon, and then publicly executed!

Augustine was already certain that Anor was one of Val'kam's men.

As for why Count Weasley turned into a demon, that's no longer important.

Importantly, Anno and his group successfully killed Way Dick, who had turned into a demon and was disguised as a human lord.

"With Earl Wei's death, you, as his henchmen, cannot escape responsibility under the law, and may even be sentenced!"

Upon hearing Anno's words, Augustine's expression changed instantly.

He had already realized what was happening.

Other soldiers are probably fine.

However, as Count Wei's personal bodyguard, he had always protected Count Wei's safety, which could be described as aiding and abetting evil.

Even Count Weasley's rise to level 20 was partly due to his efforts.

If he is punished, his fate could be very tragic.

Although level 20 is already considered top-tier in Glad City.

But in the capital, there are plenty of people who could kill him with a flick of their finger.

If a demon appears in Glad City, the royal capital will definitely send people to investigate.

Since this problem involves a noble family, it will likely be taken very seriously.

If he were to flee, his superiors would certainly send someone to bring him back.

After figuring this out, Augustine's face instantly darkened.

He only stayed here as a guard because Count Wei offered him high pay; he had no idea about the relationship between Count Wei and the demon.

Seeing Augustine's bewildered expression, Anno said, "Let me give you some advice: when Viscount Renault arrives, go and serve him. At this time, serving any other noble is not as effective as serving Viscount Renault."

Augustine instantly understood what Anno meant.

Viscount Renault was, after all, a participant in this battle, and he had many ways to save Augustine.

For example, Viscount Renault had long suspected the relationship between Count Werner and the devil, but lacking sufficient evidence, he sent Augustine as an undercover agent.

Even if there are some flaws in the story, no one can refute this excuse.

After Anno finished speaking with Augustine, he, Xue Feibai, and the others dragged Count Wei's corpse into the castle.

Meng Xin then took the message out of the city.

Augustine ultimately decided to follow the advice Anno had given him and pledge allegiance to Viscount Renault.

the next day.

The residents of Glad City, waking up from their sleep, began discussing the explosion that had occurred the previous night.

Some residents who lived near the scene knew that a battle had taken place near the Earl's castle, but they did not know the final outcome.

At this moment, the personnel who participated in the battle yesterday "appeared".

They began spreading the word among the people of the city that Count Waver was actually a demon.

Last night, a group of experts joined forces to defeat the demon and save Glad City from its control.

At first, no one believed this explanation.

It wasn't until Augustine spoke about it in public that this happened.

He also told the people that the body of the devil Count Waver would be transported to the central square of the inner city.

Today, the restrictions will be lifted, and everyone can enter the inner city to see the lord's true face.

This explosive news spread like wildfire!

Before long, the central square was crowded with residents who had come after hearing the news.

Everyone was shocked when they saw Count Weasley's demonic body, which was separated from its head.

"Is this what a demon is?!"

"It's all true, our lord is a demon!"

"That's terrifying!"

"Who killed the demon and saved us? We should thank him properly!"

......

Three days later, Viscount Renault arrived in Glad with soldiers, adventurers, and thousands of prisoners.

The soldiers inside the city could see the army outside from a great distance.

When Viscount Renault arrived at the city gate, the gate was immediately opened to welcome him.

The city's residents lined the streets with flowers and cheered as Viscount Renault led his men in, feeling as if they were in a dream.

A large city with a population of over 100,000 was taken over so easily!

Moreover, the other party welcomed him in as if he were a hero.

He knew that all of this was thanks to Anno.

The Valcalm soldiers following Reno and the captured Glad City soldiers were not informed of the news beforehand.

I was completely petrified when I saw this.

I don't understand!

When Augustine led his soldiers out of the crowd, knelt before Reno, and recounted the story of Count Werner, many people finally realized what had happened.

"Residents of Glad City, let us warmly welcome our Lord!"

"Oh~!"

The residents of Glad City cheered.

Many people know that Viscount Renault is friendly to his subjects.

The fact that Viscount Renault became the new lord was a wonderful thing for the many commoners.

The biggest contributor to the whole affair, Anno, unexpectedly obtained a startling piece of information from a letter that Count Weir had placed in the treasure room while he was taking stock of the spoils.

A giant dragon has appeared in the land of the setting sun!
