Six days later!

Upon seeing the outline of the royal city in the distance, the adventurers couldn't help but shout loudly.

Adventurers also contributed greatly to the Battle of the Gazelle River.

Once they return to the capital, they will be awarded various honors.

In particular, the birth of the "Number One in the World".

"Your Highness Tester, remember to tally up the champion's prize and the prizes for the top ten members when you get back."

"Don't worry, although it hurts a little, the adventurers made a great contribution this time. The only pity is that they didn't want to join the army."

Tester felt it was a bit of a pity.

On the way back, he kept trying to recruit contestants.

However, the surviving contestants were not very interested in joining the army.

According to Green, he has gradually come to enjoy being an adventurer who constantly takes on quests and travels around.

"Even the other adventurers are preparing to learn from you, aiming to complete a hero-level quest. They have absolutely no intention of joining the army, sigh~!"

Tester sighed.

"Why are you always trying to steal my girlfriend?"

Anno said irritably, "These adventurers who went to war and survived have all improved considerably in strength. I was hoping they would take on more high-level missions in the guild in the future, increasing the guild's influence!"

"What more influence do we need? The Adventurers' Guild is already a household name in the Royal City."

After the "Number One in the World" award ceremony, everyone in the city will know about the adventurers' contributions.

Then I will announce to everyone in public that you have completed a hero-level mission, and bestow upon you a hero's title and rank.

And what about those dragons that just appear out of nowhere? Once you bring them back, won't your adventurer reputation skyrocket?

As he spoke, Tester glanced back at Adelaide on the team's flank.

In his opinion, this dragon has an intelligence problem.

Either they lacked love from a young age.

After Ella intervened, she managed to calm the dragon down with just a few words, and the dragon even agreed to stay by Anno's side and follow Anno alongside Ella.

Please, where is the pride of your dragon race?

Even if you fight Anno, lose, and are then subdued by Anno, I will still respect you as a tough dragon.

In short, looking at Adelaide, Tester felt his image of dragons crumble.

Tester wasn't the only one with this idea!

The adventurers were also completely baffled.

How could a ferocious dragon be subdued so easily?

Of course, Adelaide Udula also has something to say about this.

It's female, not a tough dragon!

"Therefore, I still need these adventurers to absorb the impact of their rising fame."

What if the Adventurers' Guild received a bunch of gold, platinum, or even mithril-level quests, but no one bothered to complete them? Wouldn't that be incredibly awkward?

Anno grinned and replied.

"Come on, with you as the president of the Adventurers' Guild, you can complete any number of mithril-level quests."

"I don't plan to take on any missions recently. I'm going to spend some time cultivating and digesting my increased strength!" This is Anno's plan for the future.

You must learn the fifth and sixth tier summoner skills.

While we're at it, let's continue developing the Adventurers' Guild.

The participants in this World's Number One Professional Player Tournament are not just from the human race.

The one who won the title of "Number One in the World" was Grin, an elf.

These people now have a high degree of acceptance of the adventurer identity, which will make it much easier for them to establish branches in their countries.

Moreover, this is a time of war!

Adventurers' Guild should be able to accept many quests.

"I never imagined someone like you needed to cultivate! I always thought you were the kind of person who could improve your strength even while sleeping!"

Tester deliberately teased Anno in a sarcastic tone.

"hehe!"

......

Before the adventurers even got close to the city wall, they attracted the attention of pedestrians on the official road.

One reason is that there was a giant dragon over twenty meters tall in this group!

Secondly, it's because this group of people all seem to be adventurers; the nameplates on their chests prove their identities, and some are even carrying the flag of the Adventurers' Guild.

"Sigh, isn't this the adventurer team that headed to the northern frontier half a month ago?"

"It seems so. Aren't those Prince Tester and the Adventurers' Guild Master walking in front?"

"I heard that the fall of Wolengor was due to Prince Tester's wrong decision and the Adventurers' Guild's disobedience."

"Wolengol has fallen, but I didn't expect so many adventurers to escape back."

"Adventurers are a group of professionals who work for bounties. The fact that so many of them managed to escape back is probably because they all deserted."

"I even supported the Adventurers' Guild before, but now it seems those established mercenary groups are more reliable!"

"We can't jump to conclusions so quickly; I have a feeling there's something fishy about this."

"What's so strange about this? The news was first revealed by His Highness Simmons, and several mercenary groups can attest to it."

Everyone in the royal city knows that because the Third Prince was too eager for quick success and blindly believed in the strength of the Adventurers' Guild, he ignored Prince Simmons's advice and rashly started a war with the undead legion. Not only did he lose 100,000 defenders, but there has been no news of the high-ranking members.

I've also heard that the undead army has begun its invasion of the North. Many towns have been turned into undead.

"Just like what I heard, if the news were false, the royal family would have already come out to clarify. But until now, no one has come forward to say that the news is false. Alas, the third prince is still too young and not as mature as the eldest prince."

These people spoke in very low voices.

After all, Tester, whom they were discussing, was a member of the royal family.

If someone is caught gossiping behind your back, they could be beheaded.

Therefore, Tester, Anno, and the others only sensed that people around them on the official road were pointing in their direction, but they did not know why.

"I have a bad feeling!"

Tester frowned, looked at the city gate ahead, and strode over.

Anno glanced at the crowd around him and followed Tester with his men.

The guards at the city gate had already spotted Anno and his group.

They even called for backup because of Adelaide's presence.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Tester who had returned.

Tester spoke with the guard for a while, then his face grew increasingly dark.

From the guards, Tester learned that Simmons, who had returned early, had actually joined forces with several large mercenary groups to smear Tester and the Adventurers' Guild in the royal city.

The talk of the city is now mostly about how Worengle was breached by the undead legion due to Tester's poor command and the adventurers' disobedience.

"That coward Simmons has a knack for twisting the truth!"

Tester gritted his teeth in anger.

If Simmons hadn't escaped beforehand and taken another seventh-tier demon-sealing crystal, the war weapons issue could have been resolved much faster, thus stabilizing the war situation sooner.

Moreover, due to Simmons' poor command, the Dawn Legion also made many mistakes, almost causing the defensive line to collapse.

The mistakes Simmons made were ultimately averted only by the desperate fighting of tens of thousands of defenders and adventurers.

Instead of showing remorse, this guy went so far as to slander the adventurer who had made great contributions, damaging the adventurer's reputation.

Previously, almost every professional in the royal city wore a nameplate.

But now, as long as you wear the name tag, you'll be pointed at and talked about on the street.

This has led many people to remove their nameplates.

Many people even went to the Adventurers' Guild to cancel their registration.

"Anno, don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this!"

Tester turned to leave, but was called aside by Anno.

"Your Highness, I think there's something wrong with this. His Majesty the King couldn't possibly be unaware that Wolengor hadn't fallen, nor could he be unaware of the rumors circulating in the capital that completely contradict the facts. Yet, the King didn't step in to stop it."

"My father..." Tester's eyes dimmed, and he looked somewhat aggrieved.

He felt that the king was favoring Simmons.

But then Tester thought about it again and was puzzled.

"No, no matter how rumors spread, they're still just rumors. The fact is, Warrenger hasn't fallen, and the rumors will naturally be debunked once we return. The more Simmons jumped around before, the harder he'll fall after the rumors are exposed!"

As he finished speaking, Tester's eyes gradually lit up.

"As the first in line to the throne, he deserted in the face of battle, disregarded the facts, and deceived the people! This...this guy's good days are over!"

"So, His Majesty's allowing this to develop is probably giving you an opportunity!"

Anno added from the side.

"I knew it, my father loves me!"

Tester's expression brightened, his heart pounding with excitement.

"Anno, I'll go back and take care of this first. The awards ceremony is the day to vindicate the Adventurers' Guild!"

"Don't let your guard down; Simmons has quite a few supporters."

Don't worry!

Watching Tester leave with the guards, Anno walked towards the Adventurers' Guild.

"Let's go home too!"

......

Adventurers' Guild.

The bunny girl hid behind the wolf girl, her big eyes filled with terror.

In front of the wolf girl, a fierce-looking mercenary sat down in a chair with a large, imposing scythe.

There were also many mercenaries around them, looking at them with wicked smiles.

Click!

The mercenary, seated in a chair, took a bite of his apple, chewed it a few times with his yellowed teeth, swallowed, and then said, "The Adventurers' Guild is trash; it shouldn't exist. Smash it!"

"yes!"

A group of mercenaries immediately began sabotaging the guild's interior!

Broken tables and chairs, and torn task sheets were scattered all over the floor.

These adventurers are all at the third or even fourth tier, with the leader being at the fifth tier!

Wolf Girl, Bunny Girl, and the guild's receptionist had no power to resist.

Wolf Girl watched all this and said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation when the president returns if you do this?"

"Revenge? Hahaha... Just a useless guild leader who acts like a ghost all day, I heard he's only at level five. He's probably a ghost by now!"

Kershaw laughed loudly, arrogantly saying, "What a pity, I didn't get the chance to fight the legendary Anno, otherwise I would have made him kneel before me!"

Just as the bunny girl was about to cry from anger, the mercenary guarding the door suddenly rushed in in a panic.

"It's bad, Captain Kershaw! Outside...outside...they're back!"
