I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Mount Ayer!

"Have strong humans already appeared?"

Upon hearing the news that the first scouting party had been completely wiped out, the marlin frowned and said, "Such a swift reaction?"

According to intelligence previously sent back by Rutherford, the distance from Nigal's royal city to Warkam is approximately a thousand kilometers.

If the people of the capital can send people in such a short time, then their subsequent plans will be at great risk.

"Things have already developed to this point, there's no point in hesitating anymore."

The catfish-man standing next to him stood up and said, "Humans are not weak in combat. If I want to accomplish great things, I must make sacrifices."

I think we should send troops to find out how many high-level forces are in that town, and then launch an attack.

I'll lead the way!

As soon as the catfish man finished speaking, a group of high-ranking sea creatures walked into the tent.

One of the old men, carrying a tortoise shell and sporting a white beard, coughed and said to the catfish-man, "Mansfield, do you really want to return to the embrace of the sea god with Rutherford?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, both the catfish and the marlin bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Lord Pop."

"Um!"

Pope nodded, then walked to the head of the table and said to the gunfish, "Haskin, now that high-ranking humans have appeared in the southern town, it means our plan is halfway to success."

However, although the Kingdom of Nigar does not have any ninth-tier experts, it does have a few eighth-tier experts.

This time, with our grand landing, they will at least send an eighth-rank official over.

So let me take the lead this time.

Haskin, prepare the troops. Tomorrow morning, advance the troops directly.

We must put immense pressure on them before the main human force arrives.

This will keep them too busy to pay attention to anything else!

Notify Harvey that once we begin our battle, they should take immediate action!

Huggins, Mansfield, and the other high-ranking sea creatures bowed simultaneously and said in unison, "As you command!"

Pop watched the departing figures of the group, then turned to look at Storm Sea, thinking to himself: The hunters on the human side are counting on you, Lord Sea King!

The sea creatures' journey ashore this time was fraught with enormous risks.

If their sea tribe fails in this battle, the sea tribes of the Storm Sea will have to recuperate for at least several decades.

However, Angomulos is currently in a state of chaos, with constant warfare.

At this time, the Kingdom of Nigar also had to confront the Lich King's forces in the north.

Coupled with the previous continuous attempts and accumulated intelligence, as well as the increase in the number of half-dragons, the high-ranking members of the sea race felt that this was a golden opportunity.

......

The town of Grür.

After the battlefield was cleaned up, everyone began to carry out their tasks according to plan.

Those who need to be on guard should be on patrol, and those who need to rest should rest.

Anno was assigned to be on guard during the first half of the night.

He sat atop the dragon's head, his mind constantly processing the intelligence he possessed.

"No, I have a feeling that the sea creatures' real goal this time is to seal the underground city."

Anno summoned his shadow, then had it ride Adelaide and fly towards the Forbidden Forest.

Having two plans makes you feel more at ease.

"Hopefully we make it in time!"

After withdrawing his gaze, Anno looked back towards the direction of the Aiers Mountains.

Athena wiggled her snake tail and quietly came to Anno's side, handing him a bearskin coat.

"Master, it's cold at night!"

"Okay, thank you!"

Anno casually wrapped the coat around her body.

"Master, may I ask a question?"

Athena asked疑惑地问道, "Given the current situation, why not have the royal family seek help from the Church and have the Swiftwalkers come to assist?"

"The Swift Walker?"

Anno shook his head and said, "They couldn't possibly be unaware of the kingdom's situation. Who knows what those gods are busy doing right now?"

Speaking of this, Anno thought of Philomena again.

There has been no news for six months.

If it weren't for the fact that they could continue to offer sacrifices, Anno would have suspected that the other party had been killed by some god!

"Moreover, there is also open and covert struggle between royal power and divine power, which is unavoidable in every country."

Anno turned to ask, "Athena, Monissa is your race's goddess, right? Do you know about her deeds?"

Upon hearing this, Athena shook her head and explained, "I've known about the snake goddess Monissa since I was old enough to understand, but I don't know much about her deeds."

Anno didn't press the matter further.

Because if he were to randomly ask any priest or thief about the deeds of Camilla, the goddess of priests, and Max, the god of thieves, they would probably know nothing about it.

But this does not prevent them from being followers of Camilla or Max.

During his shift, Anno began practicing his Summoner Spells in front of a rock.

Although he is already at Tier 7, Anno still hasn't learned the Tier 6 Summoner Skills [Mark] and [Substitute Straw Doll].

[Mark] A five-pointed star-shaped mark needs to be left on the target.

The markings are tiny and difficult to detect, and the magic runes are also extremely intricate.

Moreover, it requires using magic to inscribe a complete mark within a mere second and then attaching the mark to the target.

If it takes more than one second, the skill fails!

At level six, Anno couldn't even finish drawing one-fifth of it in a second.

After entering the seventh tier, the speed of magic inscription increased significantly because I learned the seventh tier magic array skill.

However, at present, only half of the magic rune can be drawn within one second.

Anno felt that he might need to level up and increase his latent attribute, mental strength, in order to learn this skill.

As for life-saving skills like [Substitute Straw Man], Anno's progress is equally slow.

Of course, there is another reason why skill training is slow, which is that Anno basically has no free time.

"Anno, it's time to change shifts, you should go and rest!"

Time always flies when you're cultivating. Before Anuo could even feel anything, a seventh-level warrior came to take over.

However, his cultivation was interrupted, and the mental fatigue brought on by the cultivation gradually became apparent.

After greeting the other party, Anno returned to his tent to rest.

Athena consciously stayed outside the tent, curled up in a ball to rest.

At dawn.

Many adventurers in the town have woken up and are spontaneously dispersing to assist the soldiers in their patrols.

Compared to yesterday, both the soldiers and the adventurers looked much more relaxed.

So many high-level experts came last night.

Although the town is currently defended by a small number of people, the sea tribe's army would have a hard time getting into the town if they didn't have at least ten thousand men.

Boom!

A loud explosion came from the south of the town, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

All the patrolmen looked in the direction from which the thick smoke was rising and blew their whistles.

Anno, Troy, and other high-ranking members flew out of the town immediately after the explosion to check the situation.

Everyone knew at a glance that the commotion in the distance was the work of a high-ranking official.

There is only one possibility for a battle to break out now.

Roger, who infiltrated the Aier Mountains yesterday, was discovered and is being pursued by the enemy.
