I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Tester was unaware of Anno's current strength.

The Summoner class is too mysterious.

Yesterday, Anno's summoned creatures on the battlefield were almost all hordes of Tier 4.

They are resurrected as soon as they die, and this cycle is almost never interrupted.

Tester had fought alongside Anno before, but back then Anno had fewer summons than he did yesterday, and his strength was also weaker.

Therefore, Tester made a bold assumption in his mind.

Now that Anno is at Tier 5, has the number of summoned creatures increased compared to when he was at Tier 4?

Does the strength of a single summoned creature match that of the summoner, reaching the fifth tier?

If that's the case, then a single fifth-tier Anno could be worth dozens or even hundreds of fifth-tier individuals!

This is really scary!

Anno looked at Tester, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What do you need my help with? Didn't I participate in the war? What, are you afraid I'll run away?"

Tester explained, "The high-ranking professionals who participated in the battle last night brought back some information about the high command of the undead legion."

The Lich King, the supreme leader of the undead army, is level 43.

Below it are two eighth-tier undead overlords, level 41 and 42 respectively.

There are twenty-seven seventh-tier undead lords!

On our side, there's Troy, a level 42, rank 8 priest from the kingdom, who is also Sylvia and Liu Rongrong's mentor.

The Holy Church sent a level 42, eighth-tier cardinal; the Magic Sanctuary sent a level 41 archmage; and the Dark Shadows sent a level 41 thief. Twenty-two seventh-tier professionals!

The headquarters of both the Magic Sanctuary and the Dark Shadows are located in the Kingdom of Nigar, and each has sent one eighth-tier and several seventh-tier members.

The rest are all professionals from the kingdom.

The kingdom also has a level 45 guardian warrior and four level 8 combatants, but none of them can leave the royal city at will.

After receiving news of the Lich King's attack, King Charles actually sent the Guardians to support Volengol via the teleportation array.

Although the warrior was anxious, he also knew that once he, the kingdom's strongest warrior, left the capital, the king's safety would not be guaranteed.

Leaving aside the Demon King himself, the first Demon General known as the "Great Annihilation," the fallen angel Webster Solo, has yet to appear.

According to records, at least four Rank 8 individuals are required to fight the Fallen Angel [Great Annihilation].

If there are fewer than four people, the only result is death!

During wartime, facing a threat like the Great Annihilation, it would be too dangerous for the kingdom's strongest warriors to leave the capital.

Therefore, the warriors who protect the kingdom are still in the kingdom.

No one perished during last night's battle, even among those at the eighth rank.

Two seventh-tier undead lords have fallen.

One of the kingdom's seventh-ranked warriors fell, and the Lich King seized his body, turning him into one of his own.

Then the higher-order numbers for both sides became the numbers Tester mentioned.

"Because the Lich King can convert corpses into his own, all of our high-ranking members dare not risk their lives and fight very conservatively."

Lord Troy and the Cardinal could barely hold up the Lich King.

It can be said that the situation between the higher-ups has reached a stalemate.

To win this war, we must crush the 100,000-strong undead army in a direct confrontation!

Anno shook his head upon hearing this, saying, "That's not easy!"

"Not easy? You're being too conservative. Even with nearly 100,000 troops in the city, the probability of total annihilation in a battle against a legion of 100,000 undead is still very high!"

Tester clenched his fist and said, "During the morning meeting, Simmons used this as a pretext to suggest abandoning Warrenger and withdrawing the troops to the rear."

But if we hand over Warrengol, the other two borders could very well be taken in the same way.

As a result, the northern border of the kingdom fell into the hands of the undead legion.

Relying on the three fortified cities, they can gather more monster troops and then attack the northern border of the kingdom.

It can be used for both offense and defense!

In less than a year, or even half a year, the North will become a paradise for monsters.

The kingdom's 300,000-strong army will be slowly devoured by the undead legion during the war!

The entire kingdom is under threat!

Anno, I know I'm being a bit extreme, but it's not impossible.

The Fifth Demon General, Truman, initially fought his way from the northern border of the kingdom to the southern border because he abandoned the defense of the border.

As a prince of this country, I do not wish to repeat the same mistakes.

I do not want my people to be slaughtered by monsters!

Therefore, I need a victory, a victory in the battle against the undead army.

Use victory to slap the faces of those who want to back down.

Use victory to enhance your influence!

Although Lord Alek of Worengle was a member of the Kingdom faction, he was determined to defend the city and prevent the undead army from entering the Kingdom's territory.

The 100,000 troops currently defending the city, apart from Simmons's Dawn Legion, are all from the Kingdom faction.

However, half of the kingdom's high-level professionals are from the aristocratic faction.

People from other countries and the Six Holy Temples even came to provide support.

They see no hope of winning, and it's impossible for them to risk holding back the Lich King themselves.

As high-ranking individuals, they wield significant influence.

Unless, in tonight's battle, Alek can lead his army to a victory.

Otherwise, if the higher-ups don't want to fight this war, and the lower-level troops insist on continuing, it's just suicide!

What constitutes a victory?

Killing 30,000 enemies while losing 20,000 of our own is not a victory!

Because the undead legion will convert the 20,000 human deaths into their own forces, they only lose 10,000 people!

To win a battle, you need to at least achieve a 1:2 kill ratio.

A soldier's death is only worthwhile if it costs at least two more dead.

Without a large number of priests, the army simply could not do this.

Given the current war situation, abandoning Vöringer is indeed the best course of action.

But learning from history, Tester was really unwilling to give up Warrenger.

However, when facing a unit like the undead legion, a fearless charge will not inspire the soldiers' fighting spirit; it will only strengthen the enemy's power.

Just when Tester was almost in despair, he suddenly thought of Anno.

Anno had fought against the undead before, and he seemed to be able to turn the undead into summoned creatures—Asar's existence proved this.

As long as Anno takes action and uses undead summons to block the undead, there's no need to worry about being scratched.

The priests in the rear don't need to heal the wounded soldiers, which saves a lot of magic and potions, allowing them to focus on dealing with the undead.

Anno understood Tester's thoughts, and shook his head with a wry smile, saying, "You overestimate me. Summoners also have their limits."

"Faced with 100,000 undead, my dozens or hundreds of summoned creatures won't be of much use."

Moreover, the undead army is not stupid.

Once they discover an existence like Anor, given their nature, they'll likely send a horde of sixth-tier undead lords to kill Anor.

"What if I use the entire Sharp Blade Legion to buy you time to improve your strength?"

Ignoring Anno's shocked gaze, Tester looked up at the darkening sky, let out a heavy breath, and said, "Anno, the Adventurers' Guild Master, I'm issuing a Heroic-level quest."

PS: Heroic level is equivalent to Tier 7, above which are Epic and Legendary levels!
