I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

When Anno was informed about the Adventurers' Academy, the facilities were basically in place.

Anno and Tester only need to agree on the start date of the school year.

After it was confirmed that school would start on September 1st, the news was quickly spread by the Adventurers' Guild to all guild locations within the kingdom.

With the cooperation of lords from all over the country, the news that the Adventurers' Academy was about to enroll and open for business spread throughout the country in just a few days.

When adventurer academies were established in various places before, many people had already heard about it.

After all, apart from clerical teachers, the teachers recruited were mostly adventurers and retired soldiers.

After being hired, these people naturally learned what their future jobs would be like.

Without any directive prohibiting the dissemination of this information, many teachers would have already spread the word.

With the official opening of the Adventurers' Academy imminent, interested families have already begun preparations.

According to the registration requirements, anyone over the age of twelve only needs to prepare a registration fee of 50 silver coins per semester (four months)!

50 silver coins is not a small amount for an ordinary family; it's equivalent to half a year's expenses.

In the past, ordinary families would not have spent 5 silver coins to send their children to learn basic vocational skills.

Because there's a possibility of not being able to learn it, the 5 silver coins would be wasted, and half a month's living expenses would be gone.

Now, thanks to the existence of the Adventurers' Guild, the entire country has a martial spirit.

Furthermore, with a tuition fee of 50 silver coins, one can study at the academy for a year, which makes many people willing to send their children to school.

The Adventurers' Academy set this tuition fee not to recoup its costs.

The cost of building the academy, the teachers' salaries, various training equipment, and the manpower and resources required for future combat training all amount to a large sum of money.

It's impossible to break even; you'll only lose more and more!

However, since Anno and Tester have decided to target the general public, they are not thinking about making money from it.

He simply wanted to use the money to let the children who came to school know that they carried their parents' expectations.

At the very least, it can correct their attitude towards learning.

According to Anno's calculations, once they officially graduate from the academy, they will at least be level zero professionals.

With this capability, they are at least capable of self-reliance and achieving a better life than before.

While the Adventurers' Academy was being discussed throughout the kingdom, a piece of information reached Tester's ears.

The northern fortress of Volengol lost ownership of its northern half after the great battle with the Lich King's undead army.

Since then, both sides have engaged in numerous battles, large and small. However, due to the "Gaz River Pact" signed by both sides—the Gaz River, which runs through the city, serves as the dividing line in the Volengol region—high-ranking demon lord armies, including the undead legions, will not cross the Gaz River. Conversely, high-ranking humans from the Kingdom of Nigar are also prohibited from crossing the Gaz River—there have been no major wars in the past year.

However, the garrison in the southern half of the city suddenly discovered that a large number of monsters had appeared in the area around Worngol.

There is reliable intelligence that monsters are gathering near Volengol.

Anno, who had just returned from the royal city a few days earlier, was summoned back to the royal city by Tester.

"If I remember correctly, the [City of Locked River] was originally signed by Lord Lymens and the Lich King."

When the warrior Lymens, who was inside the hall, heard Anno's question, he nodded.

When the contract was signed, Anno was only at the sixth level, but he became the key figure in turning the tide of the battle and became famous overnight!

Today, Anno's status is even higher than Lemens'.

Even the powerful Lemons felt he would be completely crushed by Anno.

However, Lemens was not jealous of Anno.

On the contrary, they were genuinely happy that such a strong person had appeared in the kingdom.

"The signed contract is not a written agreement or a verbal agreement, but a vow made to the god of contracts!"

Leimens analyzed, "If any high-ranking members of the Demon King's army cross the Gasso River in Worengard, the Lich King will be instantly punished by the God of Contracts!"

Our contract at the time stipulated... anyone who violated it would die!

As a god of a neutral faction, Anno estimated that the God of Contracts was at least a mid-level god.

There's a 95% chance it's a rare high-ranking god!

After all, anyone of any race can enter into a contract, and can be considered a follower of the God of Contracts.

"Actually, I've always had a question about this contract!"

Bringing up last year's war again, Anno raised a question.

"With the strength of the undead army led by the Lich King back then, if all of them were deployed, they could have completely crushed Volengol, and even turned the northern border of the kingdom into a paradise for the undead."

However, the Lich King signed a treaty with us that was supposedly a truce that limited both sides, but in reality it was a complete restriction on the undead army.

It felt like the Lich King, after putting us under enough pressure, was deliberately giving us a chance to breathe!

Anno's words caused all the high-ranking officials of the kingdom present to turn pale.

What Anno could think of, the kingdom's high-ranking officials in the council hall had already thought of when the war ended.

But they couldn't directly ask the Lich King what he meant by doing this.

The only explanation is that the Lich King had other things he had to do, which is why he gave up the attack.

But now, only about a year later, the Demon King's army has started to make moves again.

Although the contract still exists, the restricted area is limited to the city of Warrengle.

The dangerous mountain ranges on both sides are not included.

If the Demon King's army disregards the danger and circles around from both sides to the rear of Worengel, completely surrounding Worengel and turning it into an isolated city.

Although there are still a few high-level professionals guarding the South District, even the high-level members of the Demon King's army cannot take action due to contractual obligations.

But with countless undead armies and monster forces, it was only a matter of time before Worengle fell.

The two eighth-tier kingdom experts who were once able to hold sway over Worenger were found dead in their homes: Troy, from the kingdom faction, died in the war against the sea tribes, and Grand Duke Priss from the noble faction, was found to have committed suicide.

As the war god who protects the nation, Leimens must guard the royal city!

"Anno, I can only rely on you now!" Tester took a deep breath and looked at Anno with a serious expression.
