I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Mr. Yarman, let's continue on our way!"

After killing all the robbers and mercenaries, Anno urged Yarman to leave.

"Oh, right, let's go!"

Yarman quickly ordered his men to drive the carriage away—several civilians had died earlier, but the remaining people, realizing that the bandits only killed those who were running away, hid by the carriage and dared not run anymore, and now they had all survived.

When Keith and Masaka saw Anno riding the bandits' horse like an ordinary person, they exchanged a glance and followed him.

They wanted to get to know Anno.

Anno talked with the two for a while and learned about their relationship with Yarman.

The two were from the same hometown as Yarman, and were considered his juniors.

When the two were still at the first rank, they angered the higher-ups of their mercenary group.

They were beaten half to death by the mercenaries, but had no money to treat their injuries.

Finally, Yarman found a priest who rescued them.

To repay the debt of gratitude, the two brothers stayed by Yarman's side as his guards.

Yarman only saved him out of consideration for being from the same hometown, and never expected him to repay the favor.

The reason they were made guards was to give them food to eat.

Who would have thought that in just over five years, both of them would have advanced to the third rank.

After hearing this, Anno looked at Keith and Masaka with new respect.

A level three level of strength is already considered mid-level even in Selby City.

To repay their debt of gratitude, the two not only served as Yarman's guards for five years, but also tried to hold off Ed and the others by covering the rear, creating an opportunity for Yarman to escape.

"Sigh, with my abilities, I used to be able to buy some cultivation resources for the two of them."

However, I cannot afford the cultivation resources they need once they reach the third tier.

If they had left my side, they might have already reached level four by now!

Yarman sighed with regret.

He did try to persuade the two to leave.

However, Keith did not agree.

Anno looked at the two people's information panels and found that they did not have any talent skills.

However, with such a mindset, it wouldn't be bad to recruit him into the Adventurers' Guild.

But that won't work now.

Anno is now being noticed.

Even if he were to open an adventurers' guild in the capital, he must never be found out to be involved as the guild leader.

Otherwise, those unknown enemies will surely take action again upon hearing the news.

While the group was talking, the curtain of the carriage next to them was lifted, revealing two small heads.

They stared at Anno with curiosity.

"He looks so ordinary, but he's incredibly strong!" (Anno's appearance at this moment is formed by [Mimicry])

Tina closed the curtain and said to the elf girl, "Luckily, he was there just now, otherwise we would have been doomed."

"Mmm!" The elf girl Hill raised her little fist to her chest and nodded emphatically.

Tina took Hill's hand and pulled her to a seat inside the carriage, saying, "We're only halfway to the capital. Once we reach the capital and find your people, you'll be safe!"

"Thank you, Tina!"

......

The caravan moved slowly forward.

During the rest of the journey, they encountered two more groups of robbers.

However, these robbers were very weak, with only a few being third-tier professionals.

Without Anno even lifting a finger, Keith and Masaka took care of the man.

However, after driving away the last wave of robbers, the caravan was suddenly surrounded by a group of soldiers.

These soldiers chased after us from the rear.

The insignia on their armor indicate that they are soldiers from Selby.

There were over a hundred people, all at the third rank.

The leader's strength had even reached the fourth rank!

When the caravan was blocked, Yarman looked puzzled.

"What's going on?"

How did the soldiers from Selby City end up here?

Upon hearing Yarman's question, the leading fourth-tier soldier captain pointed to the caravan and said, "Last night, a demon slave escaped. According to the clues, the slave is likely in your caravan!"

"What? This...this can't be!"

Yarman's expression changed drastically.

He was completely unaware of and had not paid any attention to the slave escape incident in the city last night.

However, he knew that once it was discovered that there were demon slaves in the caravan, it would be disastrous.

He would likely be mistaken by these soldiers as an accomplice in helping the demons escape.

And even if they didn't find any demons in the caravan.

However, if the goods he smuggled from the Roland Empire were discovered, he would still face imprisonment.

"Search it for me!"

The captain of the soldiers ignored Yarman's explanation and directly ordered his men to search each of the carriages one by one.

Anno frowned as he watched the soldiers roughly open the cargo on the carriage and dismantle the boxes.

"These guys really have no manners whatsoever."

As the crates containing goods were opened one by one, Yarman's face gradually turned pale.

"Those inside, come out!"

A soldier lifted the curtain of the carriage where Tina was and shouted inside.

Tina, who was hiding inside, trembled and stepped out of the carriage with a look of terror on her face.

"Sir, this is my daughter!"

Yarman quickly went to the carriage and pulled Tina to his side.

The sergeant glanced at Tina but said nothing.

After Tina came out, the soldier who had summoned her climbed into the carriage and checked it out.

Tina's carriage was not only spacious inside, but also had bedding laid out on the wooden planks, and snacks on the table next to it.

The soldiers casually lifted the bedding and did not notice anything unusual.

Just as he was about to get off the bus, he suddenly looked at the wooden board under the bedding.

"Knock knock knock!"

The soldier tapped it and felt that it was hollow underneath.

He immediately drew his short sword, inserted it into the crack in the wooden board, and pressed it down hard.

Squeak!

The wooden planks were lifted up.

A petite, elven girl was revealed.

Ignoring the elven girl's terrified expression, the soldier immediately shouted outside, "Found it!"

Upon hearing his subordinates' shouts, the captain of the soldiers outside the carriage immediately went over.

"not good!"

Tina's face turned pale instantly.

Yarman looked at Tina with a puzzled expression, not understanding why.

Hill was rescued by Tina last night and has been hiding in the carriage ever since.

Yarman had no idea.

When they saw a white-haired, unfamiliar girl being dragged out of a carriage by soldiers.

Yarman and the others were all stunned.

What followed was boundless fear.

The white-haired girl's pointed and long ears were clearly a mark of the elven race.

When did an elf join their caravan?

These soldiers had previously claimed they were there to find escaped slaves.

And they just shouted "Found it!"

This clearly means that the elven girl in front of them is a slave.

God!

Capturing Pokémon is absolutely illegal.

If the elves were to discover this, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Since these soldiers from Selby City had come to capture the elven girl, those who witnessed this scene, including Yarman, had no chance of surviving.

"Mr. Yarman, I think we should run away now!"

Keith walked over to Yarman and whispered.

At this point, there's no need to dwell on why the elven girl the soldiers were looking for was in Tina's carriage.

They need to figure out a solution.

Escape from the encirclement of Tier 3 soldiers.

As expected, upon seeing Hill, the captain immediately ordered his men to silence him.

"Leave no one alive in the caravan!"
