I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Wen Ze, the mercenary who was stopped by Anuo, took the gold coin that Anuo threw to him and frowned slightly.

They do engage in the business of selling intelligence, too.

However, Anno's attitude was somewhat arrogant, which made him very uncomfortable.

However, upon seeing the excellent equipment beneath Anno's cloak and Sassi beside him, Wenze immediately realized that Anno's strength was probably not to be trifled with.

"Well, who can turn down money?"

Wen Ze put the gold coins into his pocket, looked at Anuo, and said, "Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"The situation regarding the battle in the Dwarf Kingdom!"

"Oh, that's what you're asking about!"

Wen Ze narrowed his eyes, looked Anuo up and down, and then said, "It's not exactly a secret. Anyone with a little connection can find out. I won't cheat you; I'll tell you for five hundred gold coins."

While 500 gold coins is a lot for ordinary people, it is indeed not much for a fifth-tier professional like Wen Ze.

If placed in the Adventurers' Guild, these rewards would only be enough to issue a low-level silver-tier quest.

Without saying a word, Anuo took out a money bag from his storage ring, counted the gold coins, and threw it to Wenze.

"readily!"

Wenze caught the clattering money bag and said to Anno with a smile, "Brother, if you've heard about the Dwarf King's employment mission, I suggest you don't go to Stanlo, the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom. It's better to help fight in other areas of the Dwarf Kingdom."

According to my intelligence, in addition to the regular Demon King's army, the forces that attacked the Dwarf Kingdom earlier also included the troops of the Sixth Demon General, the Ghost King.

Rumor has it that the Ghost Souls appeared directly in Stanlo.

The dwarven army was overwhelmed with work dealing with the city's hordes of ghosts.

However, the Ghost is almost immune to physical attacks, and melee units are at a disadvantage when dealing with it.

Judging from your full armor and the mount beside you, you must be a knight.

Although the dwarves are quite wealthy, the mercenaries they hire in the Roland Empire are mainly mage professionals. As a knight, if you don't have a way to deal with the ghosts, you'll likely lose your life if you go to Stanlos!

Seeing Anno deep in thought, Wen Ze's eyes lit up and he invited, "My name is Wen Ze. If you really want to go to the Dwarf Kingdom, why don't you come with our mercenary group?"

Because of the attack on Stanlo, the Dwarf Kingdom did not initially form a command system to resist the Demon King's army, and many Dwarf cities were captured by the Demon King's army in the early stages.

Many dwarf tribe leaders are currently gathering troops to retake the city and have hired numerous human mercenaries.

Our mercenary group has received a mission to assist a dwarf tribe. Want to come along?

Wen Ze wanted to win over An Nuo because he thought An Nuo was very capable.

However, Anno rejected the offer.

"Wasn't the Roland Empire also attacked by the Demon King's army? Why aren't you mercenaries going to the front lines to help, but instead preparing to go to a neighboring country to help?" Anno looked at Wenze with some doubt.

Wen Ze was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then laughed with his companion.

"You're probably not from the Empire, are you? With the Sword Saint here and hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front lines, the war doesn't need us ragtag mercenaries at all. The Demon King's army attacking the Empire has no chance of conquering it; their role is probably just to hold us back."

Anno knew the Sword Saint's influence within the empire from the other party's reaction.

However, upon closer reflection, if the Kingdom of Nigal had a ninth-tier powerhouse, Tester probably wouldn't be too worried about the Lich King launching a full-scale attack.

Even a top-tier expert cannot face an army of hundreds of thousands of people alone.

However, taking the head of an enemy general from among ten thousand men is not a difficult task.

Even the Eight Demon Generals could only flee when faced with a ninth-tier Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint hasn't made a move yet, probably because the Demon King hasn't made a move either.

If the Sword Saint makes the first move, the Demon King will certainly not stand idly by.

"Since you're not willing, then we'll be leaving!"

Unable to invite Anno, Wenze lost interest in staying any longer and left with his entourage.

"The Ghost King is directly attacking the royal city, which means there are many ghosts in Stanlo now!"

For Anno, the Ghost Soul is a very useful summon.

Because of its high magic limit, the self-destruction of the Ghost Soul is extremely powerful.

Anno also has the array blueprints he obtained from Gray Dream Town.

Greydream Town was a town that Anno passed through when he traveled as Anno to avoid the search of the Six Temples.

There is a magic array in this town that connects to the Demon Realm, and on the other side is the Ghost Soul.

However, the formation at that time could only allow low-level spirits to pass through.

Now, there are probably plenty of mid-level Nether Souls in Stanlo.

But it's also very dangerous, since the Ghost King is there too.

Therefore, Anno does not intend to act rashly until the situation in Stanlo improves.

"Sasil, let's go!"

Anno flipped over and straddled Sasser, then ran toward the city gate.

As Anno arrived at the gate, he didn't notice a figure carrying a large sword among the crowd entering the city next to him.

The large sword was wrapped in bandages.

Both were wearing hoods and passed each other.

"There are more and more people coming looking for the key lately, and I'm struggling to keep up. That Philomena is really good at hiding; even I couldn't find her. Since she's still alive, she'd better hurry up and help me!"

After entering the city, He Zeng muttered a complaint to himself and headed straight for the location of the lord's castle.

There was the aura of a [Godwalker] descending there.

......

Upon returning to the meeting point outside the city, Anno immediately led everyone to ride on Adelaide's back and fly across the mountains toward the Dwarf Kingdom.

It wasn't that Anno wanted to save dozens of silver coins on the passage fee, but rather that this method was more convenient.

Anyway, the summoned unit is already at full strength.

There are still some mid-tier materials left.

"Whoa~!"

When Gulisha was riding the dragon for the first time, she almost got thrown off several times while standing on its back.

However, there was another thing that shocked Gulsa: Sassi, who had transformed into human form.

It is rumored that only high-level magical beasts can transform into human form. Could it be that Sassi is a high-level magical beast?

Gulisha didn't know, and she didn't dare to ask.

Adelaide was very fast; after flying for just over an hour, they could see the dwarf city below.

However, the dwarf city here was not attacked by the Demon King's army.

Adelaide is currently flying towards a place called Steel Fortress.

The Ernest family lived in Iron Castle.

The location of Steel Fortress is about two hundred kilometers away from the territory of the Demon Realm.

While it's not exactly close to the Demon Realm, it's not exactly in the heartland either.

With the outlying cities already captured, there is a high probability that Steel Fortress will also clash with the Demon King's army.

The closer they got to Steel Fortress, the more worried Gulisa became, and she kept praying to the God of Forging in her heart.

After three days of flying, Anno finally arrived at Steel Fortress.

But from the air, Steel Fortress had become a ruin!

Smoke signals were still rising from many places within the city.

"This can't be real! How could this happen?"

Gulisha stared blankly at the scene before her.
