I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

More than 30,000 monsters attacked, while the number of soldiers defending the city was roughly 20,000 to 30,000.

As for the remaining 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers in the city, they are recuperating and building up their strength.

The 100,000-strong undead army has not yet been mobilized; these soldiers are on guard against them.

Besides, with so many people coming, there's not enough room on the city wall.

Anno stood on the city wall, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although the monsters suffered heavy casualties, there were simply too many of them this time!

At first glance, the number of monsters below seemed to have not decreased at all!

Although the city gates have not yet been breached, many monsters have climbed onto the city walls in many areas.

The defending soldiers also suffered heavy casualties.

Soldiers waiting by the city wall kept climbing the steps to reinforce the defenses.

Several small squads of soldiers rushed to the vicinity of Anno to fill the gaps there.

The black mist was still lingering, but the shadows and summoned creatures had already slain all the monsters inside.

As Anno retrieved the fourth-tier sacrificial materials from the corpses at his feet, he said to the approaching soldiers, "I'm leaving this place in your care from now on!"

"Leave it to us!"

A group of soldiers looked at the piles of monster corpses around Anno, a hint of admiration flashing in their eyes.

"Let's go!"

After storing the sacrificial materials in his storage ring, Anno led Liss and Ella into the mist.

The mist shrouded a section of the city wall, spanning fifty meters, and began to slowly move along it.

After the mist cleared, the corpses of dozens of monsters were revealed.

What exactly is inside that fog?

The lead soldier's eyelids twitched.

Not long after this section of the city wall's defenses were breached, reinforcements arrived.

In such a short time, that black mist had already killed so many demons.

Soon, the squad leaders realized what was happening and led their companions to spread out, guarding the city wall and blocking the monsters that wanted to climb up.

Anno, emerging from the black mist, glanced back at the soldiers who were beginning to set up defenses, and continued walking forward.

Not far ahead, the soldiers were exhausted and could no longer hold on.

The replacement team hadn't arrived yet, so Anno planned to go and provide support.

Just then, a powerful surge of magical energy came from behind them and continued to approach.

Anno turned around sharply and saw that the squads of soldiers who had just taken his place were all engulfed in flames!

The soldiers screamed in agony as they fell off the city wall in panic.

"Where? Where?"

Anno immediately looked down at the city walls, searching for the target of the attack.

The fifth-tier Flame Demon on the slope grinned as it looked at the human soldiers falling on the city wall.

He then looked at the mist that had already disappeared, accelerated and rushed to the city wall, then began to inhale, his chest swelling.

"Phew!"

A burst of flame spewed from the Flame Demon's mouth, rapidly expanding two meters away from its body before transforming into a pillar of fire that burned towards the mist.

"They've run up here!"

When Anno realized that the target was a level 26 Flame Demon, his expression changed.

Several fourth-tier magic-type sea creatures within the black mist simultaneously unleashed water-based skills towards the pillar of flame.

Pfft!

When water and fire collide, a large amount of water vapor is released.

But in the end, the Flame Demon's magic prevailed, and the summoned creatures were quickly overwhelmed as a massive wave of flames surged forth.

The mist began to dissipate immediately upon contact with the flames.

boom!

An explosion rang out, and the summoned creatures blocking the way were all blasted far away, some even flying outside the city.

Fortunately, Anno managed to bring them back from the air in time.

"Can we even defeat a fifth-tier Flame Demon?"

Anno stood in the dissipating mist, warily watching the direction of the Flame Demon.

He's still a little way from level 23.

Going to fight a level 5 monster is a bit presumptuous.

However, the Flame Demon is a magic-type monster.

Anno possesses the [Devouring Reincarnation] ability and dozens of fourth-tier summons.

It's not that there's no chance of winning.

The experience gained from defeating enemies of higher levels would probably allow Anno to reach level 23 in an instant!

"kill!"

After the fog completely dissipated, Anno immediately issued the order.

"What's there to hesitate about!"

Shadow muttered a complaint, then mounted Sasser and charged forward first.

The moment he saw the Flame Demon, he wanted to kill it with his sword.

boom!

The explosion lit up the city wall.

Shadow and Sasser flew back at an even faster speed than they had gone, then tumbled several times.

Shadow's helmet was thrown off.

"Is this the power of fifth-tier magic?!"

Anno's expression changed.

Just now, when Shadow led the team to charge forward, Flame Demon spat out pillars of flame at them again.

A fifth-tier spell that can deal up to 50,000 points of damage is truly terrifying in power.

In that instant, seven or eight fourth-tier summoned creatures were unable to dodge in time and were hit by the pillar of fire, instantly turning into white light and disappearing.

Anno didn't even have time to recall them.

The summoned creatures that rushed to the Flame Demon's side were entangled with the monsters that charged up alongside the Flame Demon, and were unable to attack the Flame Demon for the time being.

"Judging from the Flame Demon's remaining mana, it can still unleash more than ten fifth-tier spells! It's not impossible to win, but we need to deal with the other monsters first!"

After a quick mental calculation, Anno ordered his summoned creatures to continue charging.

Sarsil, her hair singed as she got up from the ground, looked at the slope hugging the city wall and asked, "Why hasn't this slope been blasted down yet?"

As long as the slope exists, monsters can keep rushing up it.

Anno knew the problem wasn't the slope, but the monsters that created it.

The slope next to us has been blasted twice, but it rose up again not long after.

There is a magic crystal cannon turret every hundred meters on the city wall!

A single, full-power attack can easily take down a level 6 monster, not to mention destroying the terrain.

Theoretically, the magic crystal cannon should have destroyed the slope long ago.

However, even fifth- and sixth-tier monsters know that the magic crystal cannon is very powerful.

They kept leading the monsters to attack the turret position.

The fifth and sixth tier human soldiers were also guarding the turrets.

Apart from the city walls near the city gates, the fighting was most intense at the gun emplacements.

A few nearby artillery emplacements, posing no immediate threat, were still attacking the distant monster forces.

There are several large creatures approaching the city wall.

Stone giants, troll kings, and cyclops are enormous creatures that are at least five meters tall.

If we don't focus our fire and eliminate them, they will pose a significant threat to the city walls once they get close!

However, if the ramp is left unattended, a large group of monsters will soon be able to climb up the city walls in this area.

"To destroy the slope, at least a fifth-tier spell would be needed! But there aren't any soldiers of that level around!"

Anno thought for a moment, then said to Liz, "Liz, you impersonate me, and then work with me and the Shadow to take down the Flame Demon first!"

Anno couldn't handle the slope; it could only be destroyed when the magic crystal cannon was available, or when soldiers of level five or higher were free to attack.

"Yes, Master!"
