I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Why are the national defenders coming to support Warrenger now?

Tester explained that the First Demon General, the Fallen Angel [Great Annihilation], Webster Solo, had appeared outside the border fortress of the Roland Empire.

This information reached the capital, which is why the king sent the royal warrior Lymens Dorn to provide support.

"Can a level 45 Guardian Warrior, a peak eighth-tier expert, defeat the Lich King?"

Anno didn't know much about Lemens.

However, feeling the tremors from the ground and the sword energy in the sky that seemed to tear space apart, Anno knew that this level of combat was a realm he could not reach at present.

Lymens led a group of high-ranking officials to the Lich King's door.

The latter was forced to fight back.

As the fighting continued, the two sides retreated to the outskirts of the city once again.

"As expected of Lord Leimens! I overheard my father saying that Leimens is only one step away from the ninth rank. It won't be long before the Kingdom of Nigard also has its own ninth-rank member!"

A glint of light flashed in Tester's eyes.

Anno looked away, glanced around, and then asked, "Have the casualty statistics been compiled yet?"

Tester's eyes darkened, and he then told Anno the data.

Anno frowned when he heard that the number of adventurers had been halved.

There were more than 2,000 people when we set off, but now there are only 1,200 left!

With nearly half the staff gone, the losses are considerable.

Tester understood Anno's thoughts and said, "The adventurers fought for the kingdom, and the royal family will not mistreat their families. Upon our return, I will send someone to distribute pensions to them. Their descendants will also receive preferential treatment if they join the army!"

This greatly reduced Anno's pressure.

However, these worries are unnecessary.

The adventurers knew about Worengel's situation before they arrived.

Especially the adventurers who were willing to go to battle with Anno yesterday, they already knew the possibility of death when facing the undead legion.

But faced with the invasion of the undead legion, they were no longer just adventurers, but the people of the kingdom.

Protecting their homeland and defending their country is also their duty and responsibility.

Afterwards, Tester and Anno talked about some battlefield-related topics.

For example, during last night's battle, the Sharp Blade Legion faced the greatest pressure.

However, the Blade Legion did not suffer the greatest losses.

The army that suffered the most casualties was actually Simmons's Dawn Legion.

Many of the people in the Dawn Legion are newly replaced mercenaries.

Where have these people fought in wars?

Most of the adventurers who participated in the battle were merely assisting the Blade Legion in defense.

Moreover, Simmons, as the direct leader of the Dawn Legion, actually left with several Tier 6 mercenaries at a critical moment.

This led to complete chaos in the Dawn Legion's command system.

This has resulted in many unnecessary casualties, with the number of casualties approaching four-fifths!

Ultimately, Alek transferred soldiers from other defensive lines to provide support, preventing the lines from collapsing.

Otherwise, the Dawn Legion's defensive line would have been breached by the undead!

However, this also increased the pressure on other lines of defense.

If Anno's plan hadn't succeeded and he hadn't returned to provide reinforcements, Alek would have ordered a flight.

......

Anno originally thought the battle between Lymens and the Lich King would last a long time.

Before it even got dark, Lemens returned with his men.

Anno was then called to a meeting by Tester.

Upon entering the makeshift meeting room, Anno found that many people had already arrived.

Besides high-ranking officials, there were also noble figures like Tester and Alec.

The unfamiliar warrior sitting next to Alek immediately caught Anno's attention.

The observer cannot see through the other party's information!

It is at least level 43, rank 8.

In this way, the other party's identity becomes obvious.

Level 45 Guardian Warrior, Remn Dorn!

He has the appearance of an average middle-aged man, with a standard square face.

Short brown hair and a full beard.

He was tall and muscular, and wore battle armor.

Just sitting there, he exuded a fierce and imposing aura.

Lemens looked up and met Anno's gaze, then gave him a friendly smile.

"My name is Leimens. You must be the guild master of the Adventurers' Guild, the legendary seventh class, the Summoner Guild Master Anno!"

Anno immediately replied, "Lord Leimens, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Lemons looked at Anno for a while and nodded in satisfaction.

He was unaware of Anno's actions the previous night, so his reaction was limited to this.

I got to know Anno because Anno was causing too much trouble in the royal city.

Previously, during the World's Number One Professional Tournament held in the royal city, Leimens had actually accompanied the king to secretly observe Anno.

"Alright, now that Guild Master Anno, representing the adventurers, is here, let's begin the meeting!"

After Anor arrived, Alec looked at Lymens with a solemn expression and asked, "Lymens, how did your battle with the Lich King go this afternoon?"

"I'm sorry, Count Alek, I was unable to kill the Lich King. This afternoon's battle only resulted in the slaying of four of his seventh-tier undead lords!"

Others were also involved in the battle between Lymens and the Lich King.

Apart from Anno, Tester, and Alec, everyone else present had experienced it firsthand.

Of the four undead high lords killed, two died at the hands of Lymens.

"Although I barely have the upper hand over the Lich King, it still has some trump cards it hasn't used yet."

Lymens revealed information that shocked everyone present: "The Lich King has a highly powerful guard that can teleport to his location at any time. This guard consists of many high-ranking undead."

"What? There are many high-ranking undead in the Royal Guard? How is that possible?"

Alek was somewhat shocked.

If what Lemens said is true, in so many days, if the Lich King had just summoned this Royal Guard, the high-level professionals in Volengol would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Warrengol had already fallen long ago, so how could the stalemate have lasted until now?

Lymens affirmed, "That's true. This Royal Guard has appeared before and helped the Lich King escape from the Blademaster, causing the Blademaster to miss a good opportunity to kill the Demon General!"

As for why it has never been used... unfortunately, no one knows what the Lich King was thinking!

However, its strength is beyond doubt. With the kingdom's current power, the possibility of killing the Lich King is very small!

In fact, none of the Eight Demon Generals should be underestimated.

Even the deceased Truman was no match for me back then!

Leimens readily admitted his lack of ability back then.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Truman to wreak havoc within the kingdom's borders.

The people in the conference room fell silent.

This was also the first time Anno had learned that the Lich King had escaped from the hands of a ninth-tier sword saint.

The Second Demon General, who slaughtered demons, also had this record!

However, the fifth demon general, Truman, was killed by the Sword Saint.

It seems that the sixth, seventh, and eighth are no match for the Sword Saint.

No wonder the First Demon General appeared in the Roland Empire.

It was probably to prevent the Seventh Demon General, the Headless Knight, who had provoked the Roland Empire, from being killed by the Sword Saint.

"However, the Lich King wants to sign a pact with me at the end. Today's meeting is to discuss the feasibility of this pact!"

Seeing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Lymens explained the contents of the contract drafted by the Lich King.

The Gazo River Pact...
