I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Master, our luxury vehicle is gone!"

On the way back to Steel Castle, Liz was a little unhappy.

Since Sassiel had not yet recovered, Anno summoned a mid-level magical beast to carry the group on their journey.

The ride on the monster was rather bumpy, not as comfortable as the carriage that the dwarves of Ironforge specially built for Anor.

But the carriage stopped at Sagunto, and even though it wasn't completely destroyed, Anno didn't dare to move it out.

Anno sighed as he watched the dwarven civilians fleeing Sagunto in the dark, braving the cold wind and snow.

In the dead of winter, these dwarf civilians were ordered to evacuate urgently after packing only a few belongings.

Forty to fifty thousand people evacuated from the south gate.

It is estimated that no one survived at the east gate, but the other two directions combined are estimated to have around 100,000 people.

Sagunto, a city of over 200,000 people, has over 100,000 refugees.

Most importantly, at this time, the border cities had basically all experienced war.

No city can accommodate hundreds of thousands of refugees.

"Even the Dwarf King is probably in a terrible predicament right now."

The capital city had just experienced an invasion by the Ghost Army, and the border was almost completely destroyed by the followers led by the Swift Walker. Then, the Dragon Scorpion captured the central city of the border.

If the Dragon Scorpion God cannot be dealt with, the Dwarf Kingdom's borders will be practically nonexistent, and they may even face invasions from the Dragon Scorpion.

However, their opponents are the Dragon Scorpion God and the entire Dragon Scorpion clan.

Without the help of the God Hunters, the Dwarf King could only watch helplessly as the border fell.

And indeed, things turned out just as Anno had imagined.

When Malip used special means to convey what had happened to Sagunto to the Dwarf King's capital, the Dwarf King remained silent for a long time before finally sending troops and aid supplies.

This group of troops will head to Rock Fortress, the closest major city to Sagunto.

If the dragon scorpions show signs of continuing to spread, the troops will use the Rock Fortress as a base to resist their attack.

As for reclaiming Sagunto, it depends on when the two hunters are ready to make their move.

After careful consideration, the Dwarf King decided to inform the other members of the six allied nations about what had happened in the Dwarf Kingdom.

Previously, news of the Swiftwalker's appearance had already spread from the Dwarf Kingdom.

The news that the gods of the divine realm had personally come to the mortal realm to break the seal on the Dragon Scorpion Clan left the intelligence officers of the other five countries stunned.

It has been more than two months since the Demon King's army first made its move.

Most countries have stabilized the situation and are now in a standoff with the Demon King's army.

While they were still locked in a stalemate, a divine war had already broken out in the dwarf kingdom!

However, after hearing the dwarf king's account, the other five nations immediately began to take action.

The rulers of the country began to have their subordinates gather intelligence extensively, searching for any seals similar to those in the city of Sagunto within the country's borders.

According to Malip, there are many seals on the continent of Angomulos.

Generally speaking, where there is a seal, there will definitely be a god hunter.

In other words, finding the God Hunter will reveal the location of the seal.

However, the God Hunter is a loner and never takes the initiative to contact others.

Previously, none of the six royal families knew of the existence of the God Hunters.

The Swift Walker likely knows some of this information as well.

This will be the most important source of information for everyone investigating the seal.

However, when communicating with the Godwalkers, human kings can only entrust their responsibilities to the Six Temples.

Only fanatical followers of the Six Holy Temples can communicate with the professional gods of the divine realm.

While the six nations of the Alliance began their operations, Anno, after a day of rapid travel, arrived at Iron Fortress and joined forces with the red dragon Adelaide, who had remained there.

Previously, because Adelaide was seriously injured, Anno had been letting her rest and recuperate during the mission to reclaim lost territory.

Anno did not bring Adelaide with him when he went to Sagunto to collect the bounty.

However, it was precisely because of this that Adelaide escaped a disaster.

After all, dragon scorpions feed on dragons.

If a red dragon appears on the battlefield, who knows what will happen?

Who knows, even the Dragon Scorpion God might target Adelaide and try to get a taste of her.

Because of Anno, Adelaide lived a very comfortable life in Steel Castle.

During the month that Anno was away, Adelaide even took on a mission commissioned by Kim and his group as an adventurer, earning a small fortune.

Adelaide's happiest moment each day is counting her glittering gold coins over and over again in a huge abandoned mine—which she has requisitioned as her nest.

Although the tasks she did were all silver and gold level, she didn't earn even 10,000 coins.

But whose savings aren't accumulated little by little?

Adelaide vowed that one day she would become the richest dragon on the continent!

This ambition persisted until Anno returned...

Anno walked into the abandoned mine shaft and, seeing Adelaide lying on the ground acting suspiciously, asked Ella with a puzzled look, "What's she doing?"

Ella looked puzzled as she saw Adelaide frantically giving her meaningful glances.

"I don't know!"

Upon hearing this, Anno circled around Adelaide to observe her.

[Observer] It shows that Adelaide has fully recovered now, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Could it be that I left her here for too long and she's angry?"

Anno shook his head and walked out of the cave with his back to Adelaide.

Seeing this, Adelaide, who was behind, gradually stretched her mouth into a wide grin that reached all the way to her ears.

If Anno saw that he had so many gold coins under him, he would definitely rob him of everything.

Anno whispered to Ella beside him, "By the way, I heard that Adelaide helped Kim with some things, and Kim gave her some compensation in return."

Ella, find out later where she hid the money. The Dragon Scorpion Clan might expand their territory, so Iron Fortress might not be safe.

It's safer for her to keep that money in my spatial ring.

"Yes...yes, Master!"

Ella glanced back at the oblivious Adelaide and silently said to herself: My dearest friend, I'm sorry, but it was my master's order after all.

Anno came to Adelaide mainly to check on the latter's injuries, and he was now preparing to share information with Kim.

When he returned, soldiers went to inform Kim and the other two.

When Anno returned to the Ernest family from the abandoned mine, Kim, Austin, and Augus had already arrived.

"President Anno, please provide us with a detailed battle report on Sagunto."

Kim looked at Anno with a serious expression.

When Orn decided to abandon Saguntor, he sent a group of soldiers to notify several dwarven cities on the border to prepare to receive refugees.

However, the dwarf soldier who delivered the message was not entirely clear about the truth of the matter.

All he knew was that Sagunto had encountered an attack by powerful enemies and monsters.

Sagunto has fallen!

If it weren't for the messenger having a document stamped by the city lord, Kim would have thought he was a monster in disguise, an enemy spreading panic.

At this moment, Anno returned, and Kim and the others were eager to get detailed information from him.

"This could be a disaster for you..."

After recounting the events at Sagunto, Anno continued, "Hundreds of thousands of dwarf refugees are currently fleeing to the surrounding areas of Sagunto, and some of them will certainly be diverted from here as well."

Kim, Austin, and Augusg exchanged a bitter glance.

The Iron Fortress itself doesn't have enough supplies, so settling the refugees is proving to be quite difficult.

After hearing Austin raise this question, Anno pondered for a while.

Storage equipment is generally small and is only used to store personal belongings.

For general war supplies and support materials, such massive quantities of supplies can only be transported by transport teams.

However, this would take a long time, and the journey would be long, so accidents could easily happen.

However, Anno recently discovered that the Evil King's Domain also has a storage function.

Pandora's Box and the corpse of the seventh-tier dragon scorpion are still inside.

The Evil King's domain is vast, with a diameter of five kilometers and a height of five hundred meters.

There is absolutely no problem with letting the relief supplies in.

"How about I buy supplies elsewhere and then transport them here to sell?"

An idea formed in Anno's mind.
