I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Heroic mission: Tonight, assist the defending forces in defeating the invading undead army and achieving victory!"

The kingdom will bear the costs of the war, and upon victory, the kingdom will award the title of Hero of the Nation and the rank of Baron!

Tester's hero-level quest was undoubtedly aimed at Anno personally.

If we can really defeat the undead army and complete the hero-level quest.

Such a great contribution deserves to be recognized as a hero or granted a noble title.

However, the person entrusted with assisting the city's defenders in repelling the attack of a hundred thousand undead legions was merely a professional who had just advanced to the fifth rank.

If word gets out, everyone will think Tester has gone mad.

In the current situation, even if dozens of Tier 6 units joined the battlefield, it wouldn't cause much of a ripple.

However, Tester still wanted to find some hope in Anno.

After hearing Tester's terms, Anno remained silent for a long time.

Conferring titles of hero and granting noble ranks are both very significant.

The latter, in particular, grants even the lowest rank a fiefdom.

It's unrealistic for Tester to give Anno a territory by taking a piece from other noble territories.

He can only do so by giving his own territory, the royal territory, to Anno.

However, neither of these two things can improve Anno's combat power on the battlefield in the slightest.

The most important thing is that "the kingdom will bear the costs of the war".

"The battle between the undead legion and the defending soldiers, totaling nearly 200,000 troops, was far beyond the control of a single mid-level individual."

But if you can provide a large quantity of mana potions and the monster materials I need, I think it's worth a try!

Although Anno had just advanced to the fifth rank and hadn't even learned any fifth-rank skills yet, he wasn't alone.

The undead legion is the Lich King's elite force, with mid-level soldiers making up as much as 30%!

That is to say, the number of mid-level undead creatures is around 30,000.

Of these, there are more than 21,000 fourth-order units, more than 7,000 fifth-order units, and just over 1,000 sixth-order units.

A full complement of 160 level 26 Tier 5 summons, thrown into the battlefield, would probably only cause a tiny splash.

However, as long as there is sufficient magic power and sacrificial materials, Anno can summon infinitely.

The undead army can convert human corpses into their own kind.

Anno can also sacrifice the body parts and souls of the dead to transform them into summoned creatures.

Moreover, Anno now knows which skills to give to his summoned creatures.

[Grant] allows a summoner to grant one non-talent skill to a summoned creature. Once granted, the skill cannot be changed. Upgrading a rank increases the number of skills that can be granted.

Skill already granted: [King's Power]

Currently, the number of skills that can be assigned is 1.

Although Anno has mastered nearly a hundred different skills, there is one skill that can directly double the strength of Anno's summoned creatures!

【Shadow Summoning】—Consumes one-third of your mana to summon a shadow with the same strength as the original body, possessing all of the original body's skills (excluding talent skills). (The shadow cannot summon another shadow!)

The skill 【Poisonous Fungus】 is very effective against monsters of the same level, but it is countered by undead creatures that do not require flesh and blood.

Other skills, while they can also enhance the strength of summoned creatures, are not as effective as [Shadow Summoning].

A full complement of 160 summoned creatures will increase to 320 when using [Shadow Summon]!

Three hundred and twenty fifth-tier individuals could even defeat a ten-person squad whose members were all newly entered sixth-tier.

A sixth-tier skill requires at least 10,000 mana points and deals over 60,000 damage.

The strongest sixth-tier skill can consume 30,000 mana points and deal up to 180,000 damage!

If there were a lich, a magic-based summon with a magic power cap of over 100,000, the power of [King's Might] would be considered average among sixth-tier skills.

The key point is that Anno can also replenish the monsters he consumes at will.

Upon hearing Anno's agreement, Tester excitedly said, "No problem! How many potions do you need? I'll go and mix them for you!"

Since Anno agreed to this, it at least means there's still potential.

If Anno directly rejects the proposal, Tester, having no other option, will be forced to abandon Warrengel.

"I'll take as many as you have! Also... this is something we can only try our best on; even I'm not confident about it, so don't get your hopes up too high!"

Anno sighed.

To ensure that Anno can summon monsters indefinitely on the battlefield, mana potions are essential.

A fourth-tier mana potion can instantly restore 50,000 mana, and is worth a fortune. Tester prepared two hundred bottles for Anno.

A fifth-tier potion that can instantly restore 100,000 mana is worth a fortune, and Tester prepared twenty bottles for Anno!

As for the sixth-tier potion that instantly restores 200,000 mana, it is already priceless and unavailable.

With a magic power cap of 170,000, Anno doesn't need a Tier 6 potion.

But Tester still prepared two bottles for Anno.

During wartime, mid-tier magic potions can be classified as strategic resources.

There is a severe shortage of mage units in all legions.

With a mere wave of their hand, the mage corps can unleash magic with a wider area of ​​effect than combat skills, but it also consumes a great deal of mana.

To keep the mage group active, it's like burning gold coins!

In order to deal with the undead legion, Volunger's stockpile of magic potions had long been distributed to the various legions.

The magic potions Tester prepared for Anno were almost half the supplies of the Blade Legion's five hundred-man mage corps.

Tester did not tell Anno the news.

This was something Anno learned from Selena later on the battlefield, when he saw the Blade Legion's mages, having exhausted their magic, wielding their staffs to fight the undead and buy time.

In addition to mana potions, there are also sacrificial materials.

In the supply depot, the hunting tokens that adventurers used to exchange for merit points were also given access by Tester, allowing Anno to choose them at will.

Before nightfall, Anno selected two thousand usable mid-level sacrificial materials from them.

Most of them are fourth-order, with about two hundred being fifth-order.

This greatly enriches Anno's reserve reserves.

Inside the building behind the Blade Legion, Anno, with the help of Liss, put on his Magic Knight outfit—Anno didn't know how to use the spear, so he had given it to Lü Yan earlier.

The shadow that had just been summoned beside him was wearing the warrior suit provided by Tester.

A magic longsword inlaid with jewels, a pair of shoulder armor and ghost hands, and a pair of combat boots.

The shadow donned the warrior's armor; although its defense was reduced, its agility was increased!

"Glug!"

Stepping outside the room, Anno drank another bottle of fourth-tier mana potion.

With sacrificial materials and purple souls, five tall skeletal knights appeared around Anno.

The fifth-tier skeleton knight's bones were black and gold, and the skeletal horse beneath him was also of fourth-tier strength.

"Greetings, Master!"

As soon as the five skeletal knights appeared, they dismounted and knelt before Anno, their eyes blazing with ghostly fire!

Anno nodded and said, "Return to the team!"

"Yes, sir!"

Five skeletal knights, riding skeleton horses, turned and headed back.

There, rows of summoned creatures were arranged neatly according to their height and breed.

Quantity: 160!

Level: All characters are level 26!

Night had fallen, and Anno had no time to spare.

This is the full squad that Anno managed to assemble after drinking twenty bottles of the fourth-tier mana potion that Tester sent him.

Anno looked at the summoned creature before him and said, "Let's begin!"

As Anno finished speaking, all the summoned creatures shouted in unison, "[Shadow Summoning]!"
