I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Roland Empire, border city of Blaise.

The battlefield, shrouded in smoke and reeking of blood, was littered with the corpses of human soldiers and monsters.

The war, initiated by the Seventh Demon General, the Headless Knight, had been going on for more than ten hours. Finally, after reinforcements from Blaise City arrived, the Headless Knight led his troops to retreat.

A ghoul, dragging its weary body, followed the retreating monster army.

It was dragging the corpse of a human soldier in its hands.

The monsters around them deliberately kept a distance from the ghoul, afraid that the guy would bite them.

If Anno were here, he would definitely recognize that this ghoul is the same one that appeared in Worengle before, the one with the [Ghoul] talent.

Since the formation of the High-Level Cursed Lands and the subsequent offensive by the undead legions, intelligent monsters such as ghouls have all withdrawn from the battlefield of Worengle.

If they stay, they will be transformed into undead.

In order to increase its strength, the ghoul traveled thousands of miles to come here after learning that the headless knight was confronting the human army on the border of the Roland Empire.

This is the second battle it has participated in since arriving here.

But this battle, which lasted for more than ten hours, was taking its toll on the ghouls.

He nearly died on the battlefield several times during that period.

However, it eventually survived and leveled up to level 28.

Back at the camp, the ghouls suddenly discovered that a group of monsters had started discussing the battle on Warren's side.

The gist of it is that after the undead army occupied half of the city, they temporarily ceased hostilities with the Kingdom of Nigar.

The specific reason was unknown to the demons.

However, they didn't care about that; instead, they were discussing a human named Grimm who was wanted by the Demon King's army.

"This human actually issued a kill order against all the monsters? Is he really that powerful?"

The ghoul was curious, so it began to inquire about the human.

"To be able to summon the dead back to fight for you? This familiar fighting method... could it be that despicable guy?" The ghoul instantly recalled his previous battle with Anno.

"Well, so your name is Green. Just you wait, I'll come looking for you one day, and I hope you'll still be alive then!"

scoff!

After tearing a piece off the corpse in its hands, the ghoul began to devour the flesh to heal its injuries.

"Hey, you ghoul over there, come here for a second."

The ghoul, its mouth full of blood, looked up at the shout and saw a heavily armored monster calling to it.

Judging from their attire, the other party is a guard of the Headless Horseman, with a strength of level six.

The ghoul quickly wiped the blood from the corner of its mouth and said respectfully, "My lord, is there...what is it?"

"You performed well on the battlefield. Lord Malthus wishes to see you. Follow me!"

The seventh demon general, the headless horseman, Edmund Malthus.

Upon hearing that this person wanted to see him, the ghoul immediately became excited and quickly followed.

......

Royal City of Sodar!

King Charles listened to the intelligence officer's report on the latest battle situation of the Allied Nations and sighed, "Since escaping the siege, the Human Slayer has been hiding within the territory of the Duchy of Aurel, and his whereabouts are unknown."

On the Roland Empire's side, the First Demon General led an army of hundreds of thousands of demons to support the Headless Knight, and the war has lasted for almost half a month with no end in sight.

Of the three human nations, we, the ones who were the first to be affected, had already stopped the war.

"Your Majesty, we should not be too optimistic about the situation."

The intelligence officer compiled the latest information about the border and handed it to Charles XI, then said, "According to intelligence, although the undead legion of Worengel has not made any moves for the time being, there are signs that the number of monsters in the vicinity of Kanafon and Kerling is gradually increasing, and it is very likely that we will face a new round of offensives."

Kanafen, Kerling, and Volengol are the three border cities in the northern part of the kingdom.

"Have the reinforcements from the North arrived yet?" King Charles asked, rubbing his head after reviewing the documents.

"The reinforcements arrived in both cities two days ago, but Kanafon and Kerling had already deployed most of their forces to reinforce Worengl. Based on Worengl's experience, even with 30,000 reinforcements to each fortress, that's only 50,000. That's far from enough."

"Then the third and fourth army groups, totaling 100,000 men, were sent out to guard the border."

King Charles looked at Lymens beside him and said, "The enemy is the undead legion. The North cannot be lost. Lymens, go to the military camp in the capital and issue my orders."

Leimens wanted to persuade the king that the army guarding the royal city should not be sent out, as it was there to protect the royal family.

But seeing the king's expression, Lymens finally nodded and said, "Yes, sir!"

After all the kingdom's officials had left the council hall, King Charles, in a weary tone, said to Lymens, "Lemens, if the undead legion were to invade the border again, do you think we could hold it?"

"able!"

Recalling Anno's figure, Leimens affirmed, "Your Majesty, you can definitely do it. The kingdom's new generation is very strong. Not only are there Sylvia, Okachi, and Salom, but the Adventurers' Guild's president and several vice presidents are also very powerful. After they have experienced the baptism of war and grown up, they will become the backbone of the kingdom."

"I never expected you to evaluate those people like that."

King Charles suddenly remembered Tester's good relationship with the Adventurers' Guild, and a smile crept onto his lips. "I hope Tester's supporters can lend him a hand in the future."

During this period, several countries were embroiled in continuous warfare.

Many non-human adventurers returned to their countries through various channels to help resist the Demon King's army.

Some adventurers accepted the commission and followed them to the Elf Forest, the Orc Federation, and the Dwarf Kingdom—not only did the Elf King send the commission to the Adventurers' Guild through the embassy, ​​but the Dwarf King and the Beast King did the same.

Because of the long distance and extreme danger, the reward for the mission is several times that of the previous reward!

After registering his mercenary group as the Lion Adventurer Group, Khalifa accepted the Beast King's mission and returned home, also bringing along Berkeley's Steel Rider Adventurer Group.

Three days have passed since Anuo entered the manor to cultivate.

In order to accelerate the progress of the [Fusion] cultivation, Anuo only rested for a short while each day, and his cultivation time was nearly eighteen hours.

Finally, after a total of fifty hours of cultivation, Anno completely fused with the lich's soul.

At the very moment of fusion, the lich sitting in front of Anno vanished instantly, and Anno's body suddenly changed.

His flesh was shriveled and dry, his skin was somewhat grayish, and he was wearing the cloak that liches always wore.

Anno stretched out his hands, looking at the changes in his body, and muttered to himself, "I've become a lich?"
