I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The Investigators, who are directly under the leader of the Adventurers' Guild, have grown rapidly in both size and strength.

The members included not only humans, but also orcs and dwarves.

Zebra Man Sen and Leopard Woman Miao are both Sun's good friends.

When Anno held its first professional tournament, Sen and Miao both participated and left an impression on Anno.

That's when they met Sun.

After the match, Sen and Miao took Sun to the Orc Federation, saying they wanted to save the village.

However, after Sun was wanted by the Orc Federation, he brought Sen and Miao to the Kingdom of Nigar to seek refuge with Anno.

Sun was later chosen by Anno as one of the twelve kings.

Mori and Miao were also recruited into the [Investigators] team.

The two of them currently have no new assignments and have been given a day off by their superiors.

After training at the training ground for half a day, Sen and Miao prepared to go shopping.

On the street, Leopard Woman Miao was picking out food next to a snack stall.

"Hiccup~~~!"

Zebra Man, following behind with a bunch of snacks in his arms, let out a long burp, looking utterly hopeless.

Mori used to have a carefree and outgoing personality.

But after experiencing all sorts of things, especially after joining the [Investigator], he has now become more composed.

"Mori, this is delicious too, you should try some."

Miao held a box in her hand, picked out a piece of meat with a skewer, and put it to Sen's mouth, looking at Sen with a big smile.

"I'm absolutely certain it won't work!"

Sen shook his head like a rattle drum.

His stomach was already full of food, and he couldn't eat anything else.

"Hmph! Fine, don't eat it then!"

Miao pouted, turned her face away, and started eating as she walked.

"Ugh!"

Sen breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Then, holding the food in his arms, he watched Miao's back and glanced at the smiling residents on the street, thinking to himself: These happy smiles are rarely seen in most tribes of the Orc Federation.

We owe our current lives to President Anno!

In the resource-scarce Orc Federation, having enough to eat is a luxury for most tribes.

How could things have turned out this way, with everyone facing dire consequences?

"Sen, Miao, we have an urgent mission!"

As the two continued shopping, a hooded investigator passed by them and said in a very low voice and at a rapid pace, "Go back and report immediately!"

Sen and Miao watched their colleague disappear into the crowd, exchanged a glance, then went home, put on their gear, and rushed to the Investigator's base.

Soon after, the two left the stronghold, accompanied by two silent, masked men.

"I never expected the president to give us the order directly this time, Mori! We'd better do our best this time!"

"Miao, although we are in charge, we are the weakest in the team. Don't be arrogant!"

Sen glared at the somewhat excited Miao, then turned to the masked man behind him and said, "My lords, the journey is long, thank you for your trouble."

"It's my duty!"

One of the masked men gave the other a signal.

The latter's body suddenly began to swell, and its cloak was torn apart.

To Sen and Miao's astonishment, a giant dragon appeared before them and crouched down.

"Aksai, thank you for your hard work!"

"Oh, partners, and you two too, come on up!"

After the three dragons, including Aksai, boarded his back, they flapped their wings and left Xuelong City, flying towards the Orc Federation.

......

After sending Sen and Miao to contact Lei Qi, Anno began planning what to do next.

"There's not much of a problem with the Orc Federation. As long as we invite Leichi, he will definitely join the expedition plan."

The individual combat strength of the orcs is quite formidable.

If you add armor crafted by humans or dwarves, they'd be like tanks on the battlefield.

Orc legions rarely wear full armor because the Orcish Federation is extremely resource-poor, and resources were previously controlled by Orc lords.

However, once the expedition begins, the orcs' combat strength will also be needed by Anno, and he will provide some equipment to Rachel as appropriate.

"Now, with the addition of the Dragon Clan, there are five clans and seven kingdoms."

Such an alliance could easily assemble over a million soldiers.

The thought of this number filled Anno with both joy and a headache.

With so many people, the expenses for food, drink, and sanitation would be enormous if war broke out.

It's no wonder that when other worlds invade, most planes only send out two or three hundred thousand troops.

On the one hand, there is a shortage of elite troops, and on the other hand, military spending is very high.

"Ella, find out what those four merchant guilds are capable of doing if the expedition begins."

War is not just a matter for nations; these chambers of commerce can also play a significant role.

At the very least, they can help with logistics.

Moreover, Anno wasn't afraid of them making money, since once the transport ships appeared, these merchant guilds would definitely scramble to buy them.

After considering many plans, Anno remembered the dragon language magic that the Dragon King had given him.

"I remember there's a sea creature called something like a mother-and-child snail, which can communicate over long distances!"

Anno suddenly remembered that when the sea creatures were searching for the seal of the Deep Sea Fairy, the sea creatures hiding in Sunset City (a human city above Hidden Dragon City, which has now been destroyed) used a special sea creature—the Mother-Child Demon Sound Conch—to communicate with the main force.

But this thing seems to be quite rare.

Only some mid- to high-ranking sea race generals possess it.

Currently, most of the mid-level elite adventurers are engaged in development in other worlds.

After pondering for a moment, Anno still had someone post a commission on the Adventurers' Guild: [Capture the Mother and Child Demonic Conch].

The rewards are extremely generous, and there are even magical equipment included.

The adventurers of Val'kam have always been fighting against the sea creatures near the coastline.

Both sides traded blows, but both exercised restraint and tried their best to avoid a large-scale war.

However, once Anno's request was shared with all adventurer guilds, many adventurers gathered in Val'kam.

Many of them are even intermediate level!

These were all adventurers from the Elven race and other countries.

Those of them who did not go to the other world all began to devise ways to hunt down mid-level sea monster generals and obtain the Mother-Child Demonic Conch.

The adventurers' unusual movements led even the sea creatures near the coastline to believe that the humans were preparing to start a war.

After the news reached Atlantis, many powerful figures believed that war was imminent.

The reason why the human race and the dragon race formed an alliance has now been found.

It's most likely for dealing with the sea creatures!

"Gentlemen, the unusual movements of the human race indicate that they intend to wage war again."

Princess Rebecca, the mermaid, now wields immense influence among the sea creatures due to her merit in rescuing the Deep Sea Demoness.

"All sea tribes must prepare!"
