I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Nip Town!

It is a small town within the territory of Helsinki, a border city of the Roland Empire.

The people here work hard, and although they are not very wealthy, at least they don't go hungry.

The town has several thousand inhabitants, and besides the soldiers guarding it, there are also more than twenty independent professional workers.

But today, as the sun was about to set, most of the residents of Nip Town hid inside their homes.

More than a hundred young and strong men stood nervously behind a dozen or so workers wearing poor-quality equipment and wrapped in bandages, each holding a torch in one hand and an iron farm tool in the other.

In front of the professional were a dozen or so Imperial soldiers wearing standard equipment.

However, quite a few people were also wrapped in blood-stained bandages.

"Lady Leia, we're hearing wolf howls coming from the south of the village. It looks like that pack of wolves is coming again!"

A hunter dressed in coarse cloth ran up to a masked knight soldier, panting as he reported intelligence.

"Prepare for battle!"

The soldier captain known as Leia is a female knight with short, ear-length hair.

He is level 11 and the only Tier 2 soldier in the town.

The wolf pack the hunters spoke of was actually a pack of magical beasts that had always lived on this grassland.

The number is approximately fifty.

Every year around November, they attack the town of Nip.

The same is true this year.

The town of Nip has only twenty garrison soldiers.

Even including those first-tier professionals, there are fewer than forty professionals with combat strength.

So every year at this time, the able-bodied men in the town would volunteer to help fend off the wolf packs.

However, the wolf pack's strength has increased significantly this year, with the wolf king even breaking through to the second tier.

Several soldiers have already been killed in the attack a few days ago in Nip Town.

"Sir, our distress message has been sent out for three days, why haven't we received a reply? Could it be that the message never even reached Helsinki?"

The soldiers beside Leia showed a hint of worry in their eyes.

He is the deputy captain here and knows the distance between the two places very well.

It only takes one day at a fast pace.

Three days is a long time; reinforcements should have arrived by now.

But tonight, the first to arrive were still the wolf pack!

"Awoo~!"

A loud wolf howl that came right up to them instantly put everyone at the village entrance on alert.

"Everyone, cheer up! We've driven the wolves away several times before, and this time we'll definitely protect the people of town too!"

"Since Lady Leia has said so, then I will risk my life to stop a wolf!"

"Then I'll block both of them!"

"Don't talk big. It would be embarrassing if you ended up as food for the dire wolves."

A group of professionals and soldiers used dry humor to relieve their tension.

Time passed second by second.

All the soldiers, including Leia, had a layer of cold sweat on their foreheads.

Pfft!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a giant demonic wolf leaped onto a small hill a hundred meters outside the village and let out a long howl at the bright moon!

Although they were a hundred meters apart, everyone still felt a sense of oppression from that demonic wolf.

"How could this happen?"

Leia almost bit her lip until it bled.

Even the wolf alpha that attacked us a few days ago wasn't as big as this one!

Judging from its size, this wolf is at least a fourth-tier magical beast.

What made Leia most desperate was that the wolf seemed to have spotted the group at the village entrance and was rushing towards them at high speed.

Sassiel, who has already reached the fifth rank, is about 2.5 meters tall and more than 5 meters long in her normal form.

The pressure is immense when it runs.

When Sasser stopped in front of Leia and the others, many ordinary people were so frightened that they cried out for their parents, turned around and ran away, and some even tripped and fell.

The soldiers and professionals gathered around Leia did not run away, but their trembling legs showed that they were also very afraid.

"Excuse me, I am the adventurer Ann. I have traveled a long way to get here. May I ask if I could stay the night?"

A gentle male voice came from the giant wolf.

This surprised everyone who heard the sounds.

But Leia soon realized that the one who had spoken was not the giant wolf, but the human on the giant wolf.

Yes, Leia just discovered that there were three humans on the giant wolf—actually, it was Anno and two succubi.

"Is this wolf a battle pet?"

Leia was shocked, but also relieved.

Thankfully, they weren't enemies.

Otherwise, the entire village of Nip might be wiped out tonight.

"Lord An, please feel free to stay as long as you like!"

Upon hearing that Anno was only staying temporarily, Leia immediately became excited.

If Anno moves into town, then if the wolves come again tonight, he'll be sent to his death.

After all, the wolf pack's alpha is only level 11.

The professionals narrating the scene immediately realized what was happening and all warmly invited Anno to stay.

"These people are so enthusiastic!"

Looking at the soldiers and professionals with their enthusiastic smiles, Anno felt a little curious.

However, there's something I need to mention beforehand.

"Thank you all very much, but I have a pet that is very large. I'm letting you know in advance so as not to scare you later."

"Very large?"

Leia and the person next to her exchanged a glance, their minds filled with questions.

Is Lord An referring to his wolf?

But the wolf was already in front of everyone, wasn't it?

Amidst everyone's confusion, Anno turned and glanced at Ella.

The latter put his hand to his mouth and whistled loudly.

Not long after, Leia suddenly noticed that a dark shadow on the moon in the sky was growing larger and larger.

Whoosh whoosh!

Adelaide flapped her wings and slowly descended from the sky.

In each of its two hands, it held a gray-blue demonic wolf.

It also had a larger gray-blue demon wolf in its mouth.

quack quack!

As Adelaide chewed, the wolf in her mouth was gradually swallowed.

The vice-captain nudged the still-shocked Leia and said in a trembling voice, "Captain, the wolf king that attacked the town yesterday... seems to have been swallowed by this dragon! Um... I mean, Captain, there's a dragon in front of us!"

"Just now, Lord An mentioned he had another rather large pet; I think he was referring to this dragon!"

Leia swallowed hard, watching Adelaide bow her head respectfully before Anno.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

By the God of Knights, I have actually encountered a dragon knight!

Aside from Adelaide chewing on the wolf's mouth, the scene fell into a brief silence.

Just then, a short man ran out of the town, holding an object that emitted a strange fluctuation in his hand, shouting as he ran.

"Lady Leia, I've come to save you!"
