I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.
Chapter 440 We Don't Agree
"Lord Anno, although it's a bit embarrassing to say, I still want to discuss this matter with you."
On the earthen slope at the edge of the village, Anno heard Gustav's voice behind him and turned around to ask in confusion, "What is it?"
Gustav told Anno about Monroe and Barnett's decision to exclude Anno and reclaim Ironforge with the dwarves' own strength.
"Neither of them had witnessed the power of the Swiftwalkers, and they simply believed that they could reclaim Ironforge on their own."
Anno was not angry after hearing this.
The reason Monroe and his partner did this was simply because they had different positions.
From the dwarves' perspective, if they could save ten million gold coins, they could settle a large number of their suffering dwarf brethren.
The key issue is that Monissa's strength is far beyond what a sixth-tier dwarf can handle.
The reason Saguntor entrusted Anno with this task was because their high-ranking dwarves were stationed in Saguntor and dared not leave their homes.
There is still one ninth-tier Swift Walker left to deal with.
According to intelligence provided by the God Hunters, the Demon King has also appeared on the Dwarven border.
If high-ranking dwarves are sent out, they may be easily killed by the enemy if they are alone.
Knowing that the Swiftwalkers' goal was to break the seal on Saguntor, the latter could not send a large number of high-ranking dwarves to reclaim lost territory.
If the enemy obtains intelligence, they are likely to take advantage of the situation and launch an attack.
Therefore, Anno, an adventurer with extraordinary strength, gave Lord Sagunto a choice.
"So what do you mean?"
Anno looked at Gustav and asked, "You've seen that Swiftwalker covered in bandages. Do you think your partner is a match for someone of that strength?"
As for the Swift Walker in Ironforge, Yinmu had seen him in person.
Although several days have passed, the other party has most likely already left.
However, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that the other party is not present.
Anno knew that Monissa was in Ironforge because she had been trying to bring him there, claiming she wanted him to take refuge there.
Gustav shook his head and said, "So I want you to hold back while we're attacking the city. Wait until the Swiftwalkers, as you mentioned, make their move, and Monroe and Barnett have witnessed the difference in strength before you come and defeat them."
If this is done, Anno will not receive a single penny after Monroe leads his troops to capture Ironforge, provided Monroe has already left.
But if Monissa hadn't left, and Monroe had suffered a little, then Anno could have come to the rescue.
This approach is truly unreasonable.
That's why Gustav said it was a bit difficult to talk about.
However, he was unable to command Monroe and the other man to follow his instructions.
On the surface, Monroe is the commander-in-chief of the three thousand dwarf soldiers.
Anno didn't answer, but looked up at the outside of the village.
Standing beside her, Ella spoke up: "The commission letter was sent to you by Sagonto. The Adventurers' Guild has never had a case where a commissioner cancels a commission halfway through because they don't want to pay the fee."
Once the mission officially begins, we will do our best to complete it.
Previously entrusted with guarding Steel Fortress, the master fought to the point of serious injury but never said he would abandon Steel Fortress.
Moreover, neither you nor those two dwarf commanders are the commissioners and have no right to modify or interrupt the commission.
Gustav, although we are comrades who have fought side by side, your request does not comply with the rules of the Adventurers' Guild.
Therefore, we cannot grant your request.
We will participate in the retake of Ironforge; it's in our professional duty as adventurers.
How could I possibly give up ten million gold coins that I've already got?
Whether Monissa is here or not, Anno is determined to have those ten million gold coins.
It's not that Anno is heartless.
Since Sagunto dared to offer such a reward, he certainly wouldn't feel like he was losing out.
Those dwarves who were displaced by the war will surely be resettled with appropriate policies after the demons are driven back to the Demon Realm.
"Is that so? President Anno, excuse me!"
Although Anno didn't say the words himself, his attitude was clearly conveyed to Gustav through Ella.
Gustav sighed and left.
He was caught in the middle and was quite frustrated.
"These dwarves aren't stupid at all. They use us when they need us and ignore us when they don't. They really treat us like beggars!"
After Gustav left, Liz muttered unhappily, "I really wish Monissa hadn't left."
Ella put her arm around her sister's waist and said softly, "The commission was issued by the lord of Sagunto, not something Gustav and the other two could decide. We don't need to worry about them; after all, we can't afford to mess with money!"
Anno smiled at Liz and said, "That's right, we don't need to have a conflict with the dwarves. We just need to complete the task, get paid, and leave."
As planned, the troops set off for Ironforge the following morning.
It took two hours to reach the vicinity of Ironforge.
The troops rested two kilometers away.
The monsters within the city have already sent out scouts to observe the surrounding area.
Monroe and Barnett, standing in the center of the group, glanced at the black-armored knight riding a huge wolf-like magical beast not far away, a hint of disgust flashing in their eyes.
"Monroe, we'll show this human the strength of a dwarf warrior in a moment. We must not let humans underestimate the dwarves!"
"Ideally, the Swift Walkers Anno mentioned should also be in the city; that way, we can demonstrate our strength!"
"That's right!"
The two are ready to prove Anno wrong with their record.
"All personnel, prepare to attack the city!"
As Monroe roared, the bugler beside him sounded the charge.
The dwarven army of three thousand men split into several groups and began charging toward Ironforge.
Ironforge.
Monissa, covered in scales, stood on the city wall in her original form.
Looking at the soldiers rushing towards her below, Monissa muttered to herself, "It seems they have failed. How ruthless! Not a single ally came to pass on intelligence to me."
However, although the plan failed, my trip to this territory was not entirely fruitless.
Monissa's mind conjured up Anno's image, and she couldn't help but lick her green lips.
"After dealing with these dwarves, I'll head back to the Kingdom of Nigar to find my precious treasure!"
