I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

This underground passage was built in a small hill in the western district of Iron Fortress. After being dug underground, it connected to an abandoned mine outside the city. It was once used as an underground passage for transporting minerals, and mine cart tracks were laid inside.

While passing through the secret passage, Anno and Austin also encountered scattered monsters guarding the lower levels.

However, they are all just low-level minions, with the highest level being only third rank.

After a long and arduous journey, Anno emerged from the mines outside the city and followed the trail left on the ground.

To speed up their journey, Anno also summoned two fifth-tier magical beasts.

Leopold attacked Iron Fortress yesterday afternoon and captured it by midnight—the dwarves were able to hold out for so long mainly because they had more equipment and magic cannons.

In other words, the retreating dwarves had already been running for six or seven hours by the time the monster forces discovered the secret passage.

However, considering that many dwarves are ordinary people, their speed is definitely slower than that of the pursuing monster army.

So it's only a matter of time before they catch up.

Austin deduced from the trails that his fleeing compatriots were planning to seek refuge in a nearby city.

The two chased after each other for more than five hours, and suddenly discovered the corpses of dwarf soldiers and monsters on the grass ahead.

This moment excited Austin.

"Damn monsters, Lord Anno, we need to speed things up!"

"Hmm, it seems we're very close."

Anno observed the corpses around him and guessed that the battle must have taken place two or three hours earlier.

After chasing for another half hour, Anno, with the help of [Far Vision], discovered the battle taking place several kilometers ahead.

"in front of!"

After spotting the target, Anno sped up and rushed towards it.

"Where?" Austin, looking completely bewildered, was left behind.

On the plains, the remaining hundred or so dwarf soldiers are fighting to the death against more than a thousand monsters.

Of these thousand-plus monsters, over a hundred were mid-tier monsters, and the dwarf soldiers were no match for them.

As they approached the battlefield, Anno discovered several skilled fighters among the resisting dwarf soldiers, including some he knew.

They are the brothers Kim and Eun-m.

When the dwarves living in Sodar heard that the dwarf kingdom had been attacked by monsters, many of them decided to return.

Kim and Eun-eum also returned with their friends.

They left Sodar earlier than Anno, but they were much slower.

Kim and Silver arrived in the nearby dwarf city of Sagunto yesterday.

Neither of them expected that on their way to their hometown of Steel Fortress, they would encounter their fleeing clansmen.

After questioning them, the two learned that Steel Fortress had fallen, and monsters were chasing them. The remaining soldiers were holding off the enemy.

Upon receiving the news, Kim and Gin immediately rushed to the battlefield and fought against the monsters.

The two brothers had already broken through to the fifth rank in the Battle of the Gaz River.

Their arrival slightly relieved the pressure on the dwarf soldiers.

However, there were a few fifth-tier monsters among them, and given the difference in numbers, the dwarf soldiers were bound to be wiped out sooner or later.

Yinmu, wielding her short axe, was already bloodthirsty.

Kim looked at his compatriots falling one after another and the monsters surging up around him, pondering a way out of the predicament.

"Everyone hasn't retreated to a safe distance yet, we have to stay here and hold them off."

Kim used [Heavy Hammer Spark] to smash a charging fourth-tier monster into a pulp, then charged towards a fifth-tier monster that was slaughtering dwarf soldiers.

"If the student council president were here right now..."

Kim suddenly thought of Anno during the battle.

With Anno's abilities, he wouldn't even need to lift a finger to deal with these monsters.

"However, even if I don't have the guild leader's strength, I must hold off the enemy here today and protect my people!"

Kim roared and leaped up as he approached the enemy, bringing his hammer down with him.

Boom!

A huge explosion rang out.

Kim and his opponent were both taken aback for a moment.

Because the noise came from the periphery of the battlefield.

They all looked in the direction from which the explosion came, and then they saw a row of monsters flying into the sky.

Judging from the trajectory of the monster's flight, the guy who made the commotion is rushing towards the center of the battlefield.

"Reinforcements!"

Kim's eyes lit up.

Those that were knocked into the air were all monsters, not dwarf soldiers.

This must be reinforcements.

boom!

A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of Kim.

The enemy standing opposite Kim was instantly blown apart by the shadowy figure, his flesh and blood scattered all over the ground.

The sixth-tier Bone Demon Commander, whose bones radiated a black light, tilted his head and glanced at Kim, who was standing there in a daze, before continuing to attack the surrounding monsters.

At the same time, Anno summoned all his summoned creatures to join the battle.

Faced with summons starting at the fourth tier and dozens of sixth-tier life harvesters, the thousand-strong monster army was almost completely routed within two minutes.

when!

Covered in blood, Silveram swung his axe at the Vajra zombie that had come to his rescue.

After realizing she couldn't cut any more, Yinmu raised her axe to try again, but the Vajra Zombie grabbed the axe with its hand.

"Go ahead and let go if you dare!"

When Eun-mu realized she couldn't budge the axe, she was about to spit out the Vajra Zombie when Kim-mu, who had arrived, slapped her away.

"Can't you use your eyes? Can't you see this is the guild master's summoned creature? How could the Ernest family produce such an idiot as you?"

"President?"

With her face swollen, Yinmu scrambled to her feet and asked in confusion, "Big brother, are you crazy? The guild leader is in the Kingdom of Nigar! How did he end up here?"

Kim, suppressing his urge to beat up Eun-mu, bowed respectfully towards the direction behind Eun-mu and said, "President, thank you so much for your rescue!"

Anno glanced at the gradually gathering dwarven soldiers and said to Kim and Silver, who were wearing the [Adventurer's Star] badges, "Long time no see, you two!"

Kim and Du are both finalists in the "Number One in the World" competition, and both have the title of "Adventurer's Star".

"Hey? Big brother, look! It's the student council president! We're saved!"

Eun-mu belatedly put her arm around Kim-mu's shoulder, looking excited.

When the dwarves who had gathered saw Yinmu's behavior, they couldn't help but bow their heads in front of their savior, Anno.

I'm so sorry that such a stupid dwarf comes from Ironforge!

"President, you've arrived just in time."

Yinmu swaggered up to Anno, pulled a large chicken leg from his pouch, wiped off his own blood, and handed it to him with a pained expression: "I bought this in Sagonto. It's delicious. Thank you, Guild Master, for saving us."

Seeing this, Kim couldn't help but pat her forehead.

The dwarves around them lowered their heads even further.

I'm so sorry!

"Haha, I'll try it!"

Anno didn't mind and took a bite.

Seeing Anno's approachable demeanor, Augusc Clement, a dwarf soldier behind Kim, stepped forward and asked, "Kim, are you familiar with this gentleman?"

Kim thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "Is he our leader?"

Augus stared wide-eyed at Kim: "???"

Why are you asking me?

Kim suddenly remembered something important and said to Anno, "Guild Master, Steel Fortress has been attacked by monsters, and we need your help."

"Lord Anno has already dealt with the monsters in Steel Fortress!"

Austin, emerging from the crowd, delivered news that thrilled all the dwarves present: "That terrible monster has also been slain by Lord Anno!"
