I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

After the fire magic bombardment ended, the dragon scorpion, its shell somewhat charred, angrily charged out of the fire.

But at this point, apart from the dragon scorpion, there was no trace of those humans left at the scene.

Based on the direction the little dragon scorpions were chasing, the seventh-tier dragon scorpion realized that the other party had escaped.

It immediately led the Dragon Scorpion Force in pursuit of the direction Anno and the others had gone.

As the seventh-tier dragon scorpion moved, the soldiers in the defensive line deployed by Owen retreated frantically.

Before the seventh-tier dwarves arrive, trying to resist the seventh-tier dragon scorpion is suicide.

When the seventh-tier dragon scorpion moved to within 500 meters of the city wall, a row of magical light suddenly shone on the city wall.

bang bang bang...

One after another, the city's defensive magic cannons were activated.

As the race most skilled in forging, the magic cannons forged by dwarves, when operating at full power, each shell is equivalent to a peak sixth-tier area-of-effect spell.

One or two shells are no match for the highly defensive dragon scorpion.

But even a seventh-tier dragon scorpion can't withstand being bombarded too much!

The only downside is that it's expensive.

That's too expensive!

Standing beside the cannon on the city wall, Anno saw that every time the cannon was fired, a high-quality magic crystal, about the length of a forearm and the thickness of a thigh, had to be taken out from the magic energy conversion device and replaced with a new magic crystal.

Such a large magic crystal must cost at least ten thousand gold coins!

But you can only fire one shot!

The previous barrage alone consumed ten large magic crystals.

In the truest sense, when the cannons roar, gold pours in!

However, the effect is also very significant.

After the magic cannonballs landed, they instantly lit up with streaks of white light.

The low-level dragon scorpions didn't even have time to escape the bombardment range and were instantly blasted into dust.

The mid-level dragon scorpions were hiding and dodging, but only a small number managed to stay at a safe distance.

As for the seventh-tier dragon scorpion below, while dodging the cannonballs, it also fired a [tail spike cannon] towards the city wall.

Boom!

The [Tail Spike Cannon] missed its target and blasted a large crater dozens of meters away from the city wall.

Even so, the city wall trembled, and numerous cracks appeared on its surface.

"Quickly, keep the pressure on and force that big guy out of attack range!"

The artillery captain on the city wall immediately ordered the dwarf soldiers to change the magic crystals and then re-aimed.

Then came five more cannon shots, followed by another five shots after a fifteen-second interval. Each cannon shot required half a minute to charge and convert its power. The ten cannons in the nearby city section fired in two waves to prevent the Dragon Scorpion from rushing up during the lull in firepower.

The main target of the magic cannon is the seventh-tier dragon scorpion.

Faced with the incoming magic cannonballs, the seventh-tier dragon scorpion could only retreat temporarily, moving out of the magic cannon's attack range.

In fact, gunners have eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary people, and the maximum accurate firing range of the magic cannon is three kilometers.

However, the magic cannonball was too obvious during its flight. By the time it flew three kilometers and landed where the dragon scorpion was, the dragon scorpion had already run away.

Just drive the dragon scorpion a kilometer away and keep it occupied; firing at it further would be a waste.

"Report to the captain, a large number of dragon scorpions have been detected approaching."

Upon hearing the observer's report, the artillery captain immediately issued the order: "Reduce the output power of five cannons to assist the troops on the city wall in their counterattack. The other five cannons should keep a close watch on the seventh-tier dragon scorpion. If any unusual movement is detected, fire immediately!"

The messenger quickly relayed the artillery captain's instructions to the gunner squads of the ten nearby magic cannons.

Subsequently, the magic cannonballs fired by the cannon became much smaller, but their firing rate increased significantly.

Moreover, the dwarf soldiers on the city wall were already on high alert, ready to fight the dragon scorpion if it dared to charge up.

"It seems there won't be any danger for the time being!"

Anno breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the seventh-tier dragon scorpion being driven away.

The subsequent defensive battle can be left to the dwarf soldiers.

Then, Anno looked at the humans around him... the six profession gods who came to the earth through the bodies of believers.

Camilla has already met twice, and the Swiftwalker body is still Smedley, whom Anno knows.

But Anno didn't recognize any of the other five Swiftwalker bodies.

However, in terms of strength and talent, he shouldn't be too far behind Smedley.

"Thank you so much for your help just now."

Anno once again expressed his gratitude in front of everyone.

On the surface, Anuo appears to be unharmed, but he is merely outwardly strong but inwardly weak.

Anno, who lacks magic, is only adequate for dealing with sixth-tier dragon scorpions.

However, when facing a sixth-tier opponent like Camilla, the only option is to run away.

Camilla's five companions have been observing Anno ever since they returned to the city walls.

About half a year has passed since Anno was investigated and tracked by the believers and followers of the gods because of his identity as a summoner.

No one expected that Anno, who was forced to leave the adventurers' guild he founded and went into hiding, would now be able to kill a sixth-tier Swift Walker!

Although they didn't quite believe it, Camilla, who had been in contact with Anno, thought the rumors were very likely true.

The most direct evidence that the gods believed Anno had the ability to kill a sixth-tier Divine Walker was that when Anno faced a seventh-tier Dragon Scorpion, he was able to survive unscathed until the rescue arrived—no one knows yet that Anno successfully hunted down a seventh-tier Dragon Scorpion.

Even without unleashing their divinity, the six Swift Walkers were extremely cautious when fighting the seventh-tier dragon scorpion.

Moreover, if this drags on, they will definitely be forced to unleash their divinity.

Even if the seventh-tier dragon scorpion is finally killed, the Swift Walker's body will still die.

However, Anno, who single-handedly held off the seventh-tier dragon scorpion, did not suffer any loss of vitality.

In the eyes of the six Swift Walkers, Anno, who was smiling in front of them, was capable of killing everyone present.

Camilla addressed the five people beside her, saying, "Now you believe it, right? The rumors that Anno killed several Swiftwalkers in Iron Fortress are not an exaggeration at all!"

A burly warrior with explosively large muscles stepped forward, his voice booming, "You brat, you're a Protector, aren't you!"

"Anno worships the God of Summoning; how could he possibly tell you something like this?"

The mage, completely concealed beneath his robes, pulled down the brim of his wide magic hat and said with his head bowed, "But he is a Protector, isn't that 100% certain? Only a Protector can defeat, or even kill, a Swiftwalker."

"Philomena is very lucky to have gained a follower like Anno, having grown to this level in such a short time."

Just by hearing the voice of a knight who always wears a full-coverage helmet, one can imagine a tall, blond, blue-eyed gentleman standing in front of them.

However, after him, the petite female thief said coldly, "What's the use? As long as Philomena doesn't reveal the secret, the gods of the divine realm will keep searching for her."

The stronger Philomena's followers are, the greater the probability that they will attract the attention of the gods.

Rather, he has likely already attracted the attention of many gods.

At least those gods whose bodies he destroyed will definitely not let him go.

Next, many of the gods' followers on the continent of Un'gomolos will surely target him for assassination.
