I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Boom!

The intercity teleportation array was casually destroyed by the enemy's god-level powerhouse, and then a battle ensued with He Zeng.

However, neither side used any particularly powerful attacks when they were close to Anno, clearly not wanting to accidentally injure Anno.

"Anno, it seems they really want to kidnap you!"

Looking at the battlefield gradually widening in distance, Leimens nervously asked Anno, "Now that the portal is gone, how do we get back?"

"Go back? Going back now isn't so easy."

Anno looked at the dark figures descending from all sides. The [Armor of Retribution] emerged from his body, and the Dragon Scorpion Tail Cannon Sword appeared in his hand. After roughly estimating the number of enemies, he said with a grim face:

"However, we had anticipated this situation beforehand."

The number of high-ranking beings that invaded Ungomulos along with hundreds of gods is countless.

Ten thousand? One hundred thousand?

There are too many to count.

This is just an advance team, not the main force of the gods.

This is clearly a show of force by the other side to Angomulos.

With so many high-level creatures, an expeditionary alliance is simply no match for them.

Of course, this is excluding Anno as a combatant.

"Brothers, this is going to be a fierce battle!"

Anno looked at the assembled soldiers of Xuelong City and investigators from the Adventurers' Guild, lifted his mask to reveal a slight smile, and said, "Their target is me."

They want to capture me alive and use me as a tool for their world domination.

Before them stood tens of thousands of high-ranking experts from the divine realm.

The enemy's strength far surpasses yours.

If you are afraid, you can retreat now.

"Anno, are you crazy?"

When Lemons heard Anno suddenly say such things to his subordinates, his face was full of confusion.

In his view, Anno might be trying to protect his men by having them surrender now to save their lives.

The soldiers were kept at a distance during the meeting.

Moreover, without orders, they dared not eavesdrop on the conversations at the meeting.

Therefore, neither the soldiers and investigators from Xuelong City brought by Anno nor the royal guards brought by Tester know the enemy's purpose for the time being.

According to the information gathered at the meeting, if the god-level being had truly obtained the core of the world, he would not have given Angomulos any chance of survival.

These soldiers are doomed even if they surrender now!

Bang bang bang!

The cannonballs from the magic crystal cannons swept past and flew into the center of the vanguard of the divine realm, then exploded into huge, dazzling orbs of light.

Lemons turned around in shock to see the Xuelong City soldiers, who were already in position on the magic airship, hovering to the side and rear of Anno.

On the other side of the ground, there was a row of investigators.

They drew their weapons and faced the enemy head-on.

Under the leadership of investigator leader Steinbeck and city garrison commander William, Anno's men silently prepared for battle.

"Hahaha......"

Anno let out a hearty laugh, then said to Tester beside Lymens, "Your Highness Tester, these are my soldiers!"

Upon hearing this, Lemens' eyes widened as if he had been provoked, and he immediately raised his arm and shouted, "Where is the King's Guard?"

Swish!

thump thump...

Hundreds of guards rushed forward and surrounded Tester, shouting in unison, "We swear to protect our king to the death!"

The fear and unease that had been on the faces of each guard vanished, replaced by expressions of utter defiance.

Anno's words, "These are my soldiers," had deeply resonated with them.

The soldiers of Xuelong City, facing an overwhelming enemy force, had already begun to launch attacks using their magical airships, yet they remained frozen in place.

What a shame!

It's not that they're disgracing themselves, it's that Tester is disgracing himself.

It's a disgrace to the Kingdom of Niger.

Now, they must uphold the honor of the royal family through their achievements.

"That's not bad, that's more like His Highness Tester's personal guard!"

Anno's smile vanished abruptly, and he glared at Leimens, saying, "The Royal Guard's dereliction of duty just now is your dereliction of duty!"

Lemons, you better remember this.

As Tester's bodyguard, he was ready to act anytime, anywhere, and towards anyone.

Whenever he is in danger, you must immediately have your men stand in front of the king you are loyal to.

Let your enemies know your resolve—anyone who wants to harm your king must step over your dead bodies.

Do you understand?

"knew!"

Leimens's face was filled with frustration and self-blame, while the other members of the royal guard pursed their lips and remained silent.

The performance of the Royal Guard just now was indeed far inferior to that of the soldiers in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor.

"Testist, you'd better be careful from now on."

After teaching Lemons a lesson, Anno looked at Tester and said, "You follow Lemons and retreat from the battlefield first. The advance team's target is me; they won't spend too much energy chasing you."

Seeing that Anno didn't seem to have any intention of retreating, Tester asked with a worried expression, "Anno, what are you going to do?"

"If the Seventh Apostle of Time and Space disrupted our meeting and declared war on us, thus initiating World War III."

"This advance force from the divine realm is the first battle of the Three Wars!"

Anno lowered the visor from his helmet, climbed onto Sassi, who had transformed into wolf form and was lying down, and then walked up to the Investigator, shouting, "The enemy is prepared to crush us with absolute power, wanting to instill fear in us at the very beginning of the alliance and make us give up the fight."

But I want to prove it to them with my actions.

The Expeditionary Alliance is no pushover, and I, Anno, am not one to be trifled with.

My soldiers, are you ready to die for me on the battlefield?

The moment Anno's voice fell, both the soldiers of Xuelong City and the investigators shouted in unison, "Be prepared!"

"Follow me, charge!"

"Awooo~!!!"

Sassi let out a loud howl, then strode off like an arrow.

"Roar~!"

Almost simultaneously, Adelaide transformed into a dragon and flew close to the ground, keeping pace with Sasser.

And in Adelaide, there is also an Anor wearing the Armor of Wrath.

However, this is just a high-level simulation of the Wrath of Armor using the [Shadow Summoning] technique.

"Gentlemen, follow us and charge!"

Xue Feibai rode a white tiger mount, with Lü Yan riding a giant dragon and the investigators following closely behind Anuo.

The magic spaceship was already hovering in the air, continuously firing into the enemy ranks.

Rajel was filled with excitement. He quickly jumped onto Little Grey's pig head, pointed ahead, and said, "Little Grey, dinner's ready!"

I'm hungry!

Little Grey raised its head, and its fleshy wings unfurled with a 'bang,' carrying its massive body at an abruptly disproportionate speed as it caught up with Xue Feibai and the others.

......

"Don't focus fire yet, get close and attack, don't kill Anno!"

The divine retinues of the various gods who rushed over dodged the incoming magic crystal projectiles while refraining from using ranged skills, fearing that the mission to capture Anno alive would not be completed.

"I see! The one riding the wolf at the front is Anno!"

"I saw it too! The red dragon flying low in the sky also has Anno on it, exactly the same Anno as on the memory stone!"
