I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Whizzing!

Boom!

The sounds of arrows flying and magical explosions rang out continuously, and five magical butterflies in the air were instantly killed.

However, after being attacked, the Magic Butterfly not only increased its flight altitude, but also began to fly erratically without any pattern.

Even though there are four hunters and six mages in the three teams, they can still form a network of firepower.

However, the vast majority of attacks missed.

That's what makes flying monsters so troublesome.

If they don't pounce, the mercenaries on the ground are basically helpless given their level.

Pfft!

Two horses that had inhaled the paralyzing powder fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, before falling into a deep sleep.

Charlie and the others looked extremely grim upon seeing this.

Nearly twenty magical butterflies were constantly sprinkling gold dust overhead, and the wind around them also happened to weaken, causing large amounts of paralyzing and sleeping powder to fall from above the convoy!

"Freeman, look what your men have done!" Mavis turned and glared at Freeman, yelling, "Don't your men know how troublesome the Magic Butterfly is?"

The hunter from the Bloodstained Mercenary Group was the one who fired the first arrow at the Magic Butterfly.

Freeman's face was grim. He glanced at his men, who were firing arrows into the air with all their might, and gritted his teeth, saying, "There's no use talking about this now. Either we find a way to drive them away, or we kill them all!"

"You make it sound easy, but how do you kill him?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Croft, who was in the carriage, heard the arguing outside and thought to himself that he was in for a rude awakening.

With the magic butterfly causing this, the convoy will definitely have to travel at night.

Croft could only console himself: With three mercenary groups around, traveling at night shouldn't be a problem!

While Anno was spreading powder across a large area with the Magic Butterfly, he rode the Wind Wolf away from the convoy to avoid accidentally inhaling it.

When he saw that even the combination of hunters and mages couldn't threaten the magical butterflies in the air, Anno quietly summoned a harpy.

"Master, didn't you say you didn't want to be exposed? If we release the harpies now, won't they guess that it was us?"

Liz was somewhat confused when she saw this.

The master had just told her to pretend her level was 6.

"Sigh, I didn't expect these people to be so unhelpful!"

Anno sighed.

Of all the people who knew Anno had harpies during the last battle, only Brook knew.

Brooke will definitely report to the Viscount, but Anno doesn't know whether the Viscount relayed the message to the Black Widow mercenary group.

However, we can't just let the situation go on like this.

Although it will not cause any casualties, it will affect the convoy's progress.

Anno had picked up this escort mission along the way, and he didn't want to waste any time.

However, letting these people know too much about his information is not a good thing for him either, as it could get out.

"These people seem like they're more trouble than they're worth. Will entering the Forbidden Forest at the same time as them affect me?"

Anno looked at Freeman and the others in the distance and murmured, "Why don't we wait until they enter the Forbidden Forest and then find a chance to take them all out? They're hostile to me anyway."

After the harpy appeared, it flew into the air.

Before long, they arrived around the Magic Butterfly.

When the magic butterflies saw the harpy flying over, they stopped sprinkling powder and stared at the harpy, as if asking her what she was up to.

The harpy immediately activated [Spellbreaker Scream], and several nearby magic discs instantly stopped flapping their wings and fell from the sky.

Then, the harpy brandished her sharp claws and pounced on the magic butterfly.

The magic butterflies were no match for the harpies in terms of combat power, and more than a dozen of them were killed in no time.

The mercenaries below also noticed the anomaly above.

Charlie tugged at his beard, looking puzzled. "Magic butterflies are rare enough, and now even rarer harpies have appeared. And they're even fighting! This is really strange!"

"What a strange thing! This is a good thing!"

Freeman smiled excitedly and said, "Once the harpy helps us deal with the magic butterfly, we'll find another opportunity to lure the harpy down and kill it."

I heard that the harpy corpse Anno brought back last time sold for 1 gold coin! This harpy's aura was only level 8; once it landed, it would definitely be no match for us.

"We'll have to wait until it lands!"

Charlie glanced at Freeman and thought to himself: No wonder that hunter made a move earlier; it turns out his captain, Freeman, is just like that.

Of the three, only Mavis, watching the harpy fighting the magic butterfly, thought of Anno.

"This harpy is definitely Anno's summon!"

Mavis looked at Anno riding the wind wolf in the distance, and felt extremely certain.

Although she knew very little about the Summoner class, she had been gathering information about Anno for the past few days.

When Anno first appeared in public, he summoned both slimes and goblins.

But later, Anno summoned the Wind Wolf.

During the battle in Gruul Town, many adventurers saw Anno summon fire slimes and poison slimes to fight—Mavis learned that these two slimes were killed in front of many people.

From the last bit of information, Mavis deduced that Anno should be able to summon dead monsters and make them his own summons.

Among the monsters that Anno hunted down was a harpy.

Based on the above speculation, Anno must have a harpy summon.

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen?

Just as the group was being harassed by the Magic Butterfly, a Harpy appeared and started fighting with the Magic Butterfly.

"No, I must find a way to team up with Anno, even if it means turning against Charlie!"

Mavis is increasingly convinced that she will be safer with Anno in the Forbidden Forest.

Compared to Anno, Freeman, despite being level 10, was a terrible teammate.

A group of magical butterflies, which had little combat ability other than sprinkling powder, were quickly wiped out by the harpies.

Several tried to escape, but were chased far away by the harpies and then torn to pieces.

After killing all the magical butterflies, the harpy flew away into the distance, and was then taken back by Anno, out of Charlie's and the others' sight.

Although the decision has been made to eliminate these people, it's best to keep it a secret for as long as possible.

What if they didn't realize that the harpy was related to him?

"What a pity!" Freeman licked his lips, watching the direction the harpy had left. "But these spoils are ours!"

A pair of magic butterfly wings can be sold for 2 silver coins, and there are as many as 25 magic butterfly corpses on the ground.

Mavis's expression changed slightly upon hearing Freeman's words.

Strictly speaking, these are all Anno's spoils of war.

If Freeman takes these things away, he'll definitely offend Anno.

To Mavis's surprise, Anno, who had ridden back on a wind wolf from afar, didn't even glance at Freeman, who was collecting the wings of the magic butterflies, and went straight to the horses that were lying on the ground sleeping.

"This..." Mavis, who was about to stop Freeman, was stunned.

Is Anno not interested in the spoils, or does Anno not want to expose the harpy?

After thinking for a while, Mavis felt that the latter was more likely.

Having decided to befriend Anno, Mavis naturally wouldn't expose him when he tried to hide something.

Ignoring Freeman and Charlie, Mavis called Croft off the carriage and then caught up with Anno.

Liz tapped Anno's back and asked softly, "Master, why aren't you taking the spoils?"

Anno chuckled, "They have quite big wings, let them help carry them!"

A red light flashed in Liz's eyes beneath her cloak, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing two demonic fangs!
