I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The Demon Realm!

In a misty swamp, mud bubbles would occasionally rise from the muddy ground, bursting open and releasing green gas.

The monsters that inhabit this area are mostly of mid-level strength.

Tick-tock...

Blood kept flowing down his arm and onto the ground.

The smell of blood wafted out, attracting many monsters to gather around.

"Foolish creatures of this land, they truly have no regard for their own lives!"

Fred stared at the pairs of scarlet pupils emerging from the mist, and a series of arcs of electricity appeared on his arm.

Stab it!

Centered on Fred, a hemispherical electric field rapidly expanded, encompassing an area within a radius of several hundred meters.

Before any sound could be heard, a large number of monsters were reduced to black charcoal.

ta ta ta ......

The heavy footsteps were jarring in the silent swamp, and Fred turned around instantly, adopting a defensive posture.

"Damn it, have they caught up with us yet?"

"You mean Hephaestus? He won't be chasing us!"

A tall, dark figure loomed in and out of the mist, stopping about thirty meters away from Fred. "He should be in the realm of the gods now!"

Hephaestus, who had only recently arrived in the mortal realm, was in the realm of the gods, which meant that the other party's winged body was already dead!

"Adonis Elfando!" Fred became even more wary after seeing the figure of the approaching person.

Although he was able to escape before, it was because the person in front of him had attracted the attention of Hephaestus and the two hunters.

The two sides are currently considered allies.

But that doesn’t mean the other party won’t kill its own body.

Because the other party is the Demon King of the Demon Realm!

In his presence, the identity of a god was of little use.

He not only doesn't care whether you're a god or not, he also has the power to kill gods!

"Fred, it seems your plan has failed miserably!"

The Demon King's voice came again from the mist, "Of all these Swift Walkers, only you survived, and only after I arrived!"

What puzzles me is that you should have appeared in Sagunto, and broken the seal of Sagunto.

But it turned out that you didn't go there, and a group of people died in some inexplicable place.

Fred, if you could, could you tell me what you gods are doing?

When Fred first approached Adonis, he made it clear that his goal was to break the seal on Sagonto and release the ancient monsters inside.

According to information Fred obtained while exploring a ruin, the sealed ancient monster has a Pandora's Box!

However, Fred did not tell the Demon King about the information that Pandora's Box was sealed inside.

If the other party finds out and tries to take the magic box for themselves, Fred will suffer a huge loss.

Snatching the magic box from the Demon King is far more difficult than directly becoming a mid-level god.

Collecting all the Pandora's Boxes will give you the coordinates of a mysterious treasure location.

Once the coordinates are found, it's not impossible to become a mid-level god, or even a high-level god!

Under normal circumstances, one needs to accumulate hundreds or thousands of years of faith power to advance in an application, and that is without consuming any faith power.

Faced with such a great temptation, practically no god could resist.

This is also why Fred was able to win over a group of lower-ranking gods as allies.

"The plan went wrong; Leopold encountered a formidable enemy when he attacked the dwarf city."

After unleashing his divinity, he not only failed to defeat his opponent but was also killed, thus exposing the existence of the Godwalker.

This attracted Hephaestus and the hunters, causing the plan to fail!

Fred didn't want the Demon King to know that a sixth-order human might possess a Pandora's box.

As gods, they have plenty of time and patience to accomplish something.

Their failure in this matter was only temporary.

Sooner or later, they will take the Pandora's Box from that human summoner!

"Was the one who killed the Swiftwalker a high-ranking dwarf? Leopold is really unlucky!"

A slight smile appeared on Adonis's lips, but he did not expose Fred's lie.

"Although your plan has failed, I have started the war as agreed, and it will be a long time before it ends. The promised payment, excluding the deposit, must be paid in full!"

Upon hearing this, Fred breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Don't worry, we are gods. The divine realm is rich in resources and we won't renege on your debt."

"Well, I was just mentioning it. If you really refuse to pay, then I'll have to come to you myself to collect it."

Fred's lips twitched slightly. "Heh, that scenario will absolutely not happen!"

"Alright, you seem to be in good spirits, so I'll be going now!" Adonis turned and disappeared into the mist.

"By the way, it seems I was followed by those two God Hunters when I came here. They should find this place soon."

"Damn creatures of this land!"

After Fred sensed the Demon King's aura dissipate, he couldn't help but curse loudly.

In his current state, if the two God Hunters catch up with him, he might not even have a chance to escape.

So Fred continued his escape into the depths of the Demon Realm.

......

Steel Fortress.

Adventurers' Guild!

"President Anno, this is a request from Sagunto. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Gustav handed the letter of commission to Anno and explained, "After learning that the leader of the Adventurers' Guild was here, the city lord very much wanted to meet you. However, the war is not over yet, so he could only ask me to convey his regards."

Because of the previous war, the border cities of the Dwarf Kingdom have been flooded with too many monsters.

Now that the Swift Walkers had been dealt with, Sagunto prepared to reclaim the lost territory and drive the invading demons back to the Demon Realm.

However, we have lost too much territory, and the city lord hopes that you will assist the army in recovering it.

While Gustav was explaining, Anno was also looking at the contents of the commission agreement.

There was no requirement to kill a certain number of monsters; Anno would be rewarded with a certain amount of gold coins for each piece of dwarven land he reclaimed.

Land is classified into villages, towns, and small cities according to its size.

Small towns refer to cities like Ironforge, such as Ironforge which was occupied by Monissa.

One village, ten thousand gold coins.

One town has 100,000 gold coins.

A small town worth ten million gold coins!

The invading demon army was actually the followers of the gods, and had nothing to do with the Demon King's army.

Without the leadership of the Swift Walkers, Sagunto has the strength to slowly drive them out of the border.

But it will take time.

The dwarven lord of Saguntor entrusted Anno with his help, hoping to speed things up as much as possible.

The sooner we can drive the monsters out, the sooner we'll get them out!

"That's possible, but I still have a mission to complete!"

Anno looked up at Gustav and said, "There are seven days left until the mission to protect Iron Fortress."

"Regarding this, after discussion, we've decided to let the president complete the mission ahead of schedule!" Kim and the other two said to Anno with smiles.

Anno asked the three of them, "Hmm? Is this alright?"

"Driving the monsters back to the Demon Realm is, in essence, protecting Iron Fortress, isn't it?" Austin said. "Lord Anno, I beg you!"

Gustav looked at Anno expectantly and asked, "Lord Anno, how was it?"

If Anno agrees, the army he will assist will be his own troops.

Although the two thousand dwarf soldiers he brought with him suffered heavy losses, Sagunto sent another batch of dwarf soldiers, replenishing the force to three thousand men to reclaim the lost territory!

With the addition of a powerful figure like Anno, Gustav was confident of exceeding expectations in completing the mission.

"Since Kim has put it that way, then I'll accept this commission."

Anno put the commission into his ring and said to Gustav, "The sooner the better. Let's set off now!"

"The army is ready to deploy!"

Gustav exclaimed excitedly, "Our first task is to clear the monsters from the villages and towns surrounding Ironforge. Our first target city to recapture is Ironforge!"
