I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

"Attention all team captains! Once the areas to be defended are assigned, you must be fully focused!"

"Each team is at least several hundred meters apart. This means you'll need to further divide into several smaller teams and continuously patrol your assigned areas!"

"At the same time, this also means that once a monster launches an attack from a certain direction, the team responsible for that area will have to fight alone until the others arrive. Therefore, the captain must release a signal flare the moment the monster is spotted!"

"Adventurers, do you understand?"

The twelve captains and vice-captains standing before Anuo solemnly replied, "Understood!"

Anno's gaze swept over the crowd, and he said in a low voice, "Tell all adventurers that if you survive tonight, everyone is a hero!"

"Haha, I thought only the strong could be heroes, but I, at level 4, actually have a chance!"

Kahn, the vice-captain of Geng Qingxue's team, laughed heartily: "Guild Master, although I have just arrived at the Adventurers' Guild, the mutual help and support when killing slimes and the trust in entrusting our backs to our teammates is really great."

"After tomorrow's event, I definitely want to treat the president to a glass of buckwheat sake. It can only be cheap buckwheat sake, since I don't have much money!"

"Hahaha, I saw you carrying a knife and thought you were rich, but it turns out you're just a pauper!"

Another level 4 hunter adventurer said, "I'm different. I'll treat the guild leader to two drinks tomorrow!"

Looking at their smiling faces, Anuo was somewhat moved and said, "In that case, after tomorrow's event, I'll treat everyone to a glass of buckwheat wine!"

"Then it's settled!"

Xiao turned around and shouted to the group of adventurers behind him, "Did you all hear that? The guild leader is treating us to drinks tomorrow!"

"We heard that!" everyone shouted in unison.

The noise even alerted the townspeople and mercenaries not far away.

Anno looked at the many adventurers holding torches and shouted, "Gentlemen, although we are on guard duty in this defensive battle, and we don't need to fight the high-level monsters—the guards and mercenary groups will handle that—we still need to fight the low-level monsters!"

But this is also an opportunity for us to become stronger.

The experience gained in battle will nourish us!

This afternoon, many people leveled up by hunting slimes.

If the monsters really attack, then we'll defeat them and level up!

In this operation, the guards and mercenary groups will assign one level 6 professional to each team.

They will also rush to the scene as soon as they discover the monster.

So don't be afraid.

Our side is just as strong!

Many adventurers were forcibly conscripted by the law.

Many people still harbored some fear.

After all, this isn't the first time monster attacks have happened.

Some of them even experienced their villages being attacked by monsters.

After being comforted by Anuo, the fear in his heart, though not completely dissipated, was much better than before!

Anno and the other captains exchanged glances, then shouted, "Let's go!"

Six teams, each with 36 members, led by their respective team leaders, carried various supplies that might be needed to their designated locations.

Behind Anno were six other professionals.

Two people dressed in standard uniforms, holding longswords, and wearing armor.

These were acquaintances of Anno's, guards Brook and Owen, who had volunteered to help the adventurers from Rodney.

The remaining four people, two from the Bloodstained Mercenary Group and two from the Black Widow Mercenary Group.

All six are either warriors or knights.

Anno assigned both members of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group to Xue Feibai's team, while the other four were assigned to four different teams according to their needs.

To be honest, Anno didn't trust the Bloodstained Mercenary Group.

The reason for assigning Xue Feibai to his team was to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Because Xue Feibai's team was to guard the main gate, which was also the place everyone was most concerned about.

Even if other guards and mercenary groups don't participate in the battle in the early stages, it will still draw attention to this direction.

Even the Bloodstained Mercenary Group dared not make any small moves here.

Anuo himself moved to the right of Xue Feibai's team.

The team's captain is Lu Zhishang, whose current strength is only level 3. The vice-captain is also level 3, and the rest are mainly level 2.

Their overall strength is somewhat lacking, which is why Anno came here.

The other weaker team is Lü Yan. Neither he nor Lu Zhishang participated in the Gran Village missions, and they are currently at level 3.

However, with Brooke on their team, and right to Lu Zhishang's right, Anno could quickly get there if anything happened.

Moreover, Anno also gave Lü Yan a level 5 wind wolf as a mount, turning Lü Yan into a true knight!

Upon arriving at the designated location, Anno instructed the adventurers to light a bonfire and set up straw figures nearby—this was Anno's prior instruction to confuse the monsters. The other teams had also obtained a number of straw figures from the townspeople before leaving.

In addition, Anno also had everyone quickly dig soil and pile it into long, narrow earthen walls and trenches.

In this way, if you encounter a monster with ranged attack capabilities, you can hide behind cover.

Anno himself also participated in the construction of the earthen wall.

As time passed, everyone grew increasingly tense.

In the darkness, only the crackling sound of the burning fire could be heard.

Although it is separated from the grassland by a ten-meter-wide moat, and there are only two wooden bridges—one to the south of the town and the other to the north.

Xue Feibai was guarding the main gate, which was directly to the north.

The south gate was guarded by Geng Qingxue's team.

Although both bridges have been raised, who knows if the monsters have other ways to cross the river?

The villages and towns that were destroyed before were not without protective moats.

I heard that during the battle planning, someone suggested destroying the wooden bridge to prevent the monsters from sneaking across and then lowering it to allow the monster army to rush in quickly.

But this was unanimously rejected by all three team leaders.

The reason is that if both bridges are destroyed, the town of Grür will be isolated from the outside world by a ten-meter-wide moat.

If the battle turns against them, the townspeople will have no way to retreat.

A ten-meter stretch of river is not an easy task to swim across, not to mention the many elderly, weak, young and other townspeople.

As all the adventurer teams waited quietly, on the grassland not far away, in front of the colossal slime protected by numerous large slimes, a cloaked figure emerged from the darkness.

The night wind lifted the cloak, revealing two backward-curving horns on the cloaked figure's head.

Sensing the arrival of the cloaked figure, the giant slime rolled its round body.

Judging from the gesture, it looks like they are bowing in worship to the cloaked figure.

"King Slime!"

The cloaked figure stroked the colossal slime and spoke in the demon language, "Begin the attack!"

Although King Slime is a king, his intelligence is still not high.

However, it could still understand the simple attack commands from the higher-ranking demons.

"Roar!"

The Slime King's body split open from the middle, revealing a mouth, and it roared.

The slimes covering the surrounding hills immediately began to hop and skip towards the town of Gruul.

……

"Chirp!"

At first, Anno only heard a few occasional squeals from the slime.

But soon, the sounds merged into one, and became incredibly powerful.

Judging from the sound alone, there were definitely hundreds or thousands of slimes rushing towards them.

"They're here! Prepare for battle!"

Anno peeked out from behind the earthen wall, looking at the opposite bank of the river in the dim moonlight.

By observing the summoned goblins scattered around, Anno learned that only the main gate and nearby areas were currently under attack by slimes.

Only Xue Feibai's team, Anuo's team to Xue Feibai's right, and Meng Xin's team to Xue Feibai's left were affected.

There has been no movement in other areas for the time being.

Moreover, there was no trace of monster goblins.

Therefore, Anno did not immediately release the signal flare.

Other teams probably didn't see the goblins either, so Anno didn't see the flare go off.
