Ever since he obtained the [Toxic Fungus] and [Disaster], Annuo had a plan in mind.

He will lead people to guard the church, and by utilizing the church's mana recovery, they can continuously use [Toxic Germs] and [Disaster].

As long as there are enough defenders, the goblins won't be able to rush in.

Under the attack of [Toxic Fungi] and [Disaster], no matter how many monsters come, they will die.

But this plan has two prerequisites.

First, Anno must be able to enter the church.

Secondly, there must be enough troops to defend the church so that it cannot be destroyed by a wave of monsters.

Now, Annuo needs to eliminate or lure out the more than 200 goblins that have occupied the church.

According to the intelligence we just received, the goblins occupying the church mainly rely on melee combat, and there are only a dozen or so long-range archers.

Annuo has not seen a second goblin priest who can cast magic, except the one that has become a summoned creature.

"Brother Xue, go and call all the adventurers from Luoshi Town over here!"

"good!"

Xue Feibai immediately stood up and went outside to gather adventurers.

"We still need help from others!" Annuo said, and stood up and went out.

He found Brook, and under the latter's guidance he met the 11th-level guard captain Connor Bowen.

"President An Nuo, what's the matter so late?"

Connor is a man in his thirties with a standard square face and a sturdy body of 1.8 meters that fits the image of a warrior very well.

An Nuo did not tell his plan right away, but asked: "I want to ask, what are you going to do with the monsters in the forbidden forest?"

"How to deal with it?"

Connor wiped his chin, organized his words for a while, and said, "This is not a secret. We originally planned to lead our troops directly to the Forbidden Forest to wipe out these monsters and reduce their number as much as possible.

However, fighting on the Goblins' home turf would certainly result in heavy casualties.

Fortunately, the third prince will bring troops to support Valkham, so our task now is to delay.

When the Third Prince's troops arrive, we won't be afraid even if the monsters from the Aier Mountains and the Forbidden Forest join forces!"

Hearing this, An Nuo asked, "So you don't plan to take the initiative to attack?"

Connor smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "After the strategy was decided, only fifty guards were sent here. Even with the addition of mercenaries and adventurers, they can only harass the monsters. How can they take the initiative to attack?"

"What if I take the initiative to seize the opportunity with my men?"

"What?"

Connor looked at An Nuo in disbelief, his eyelids twitching, and said, "President An Nuo, don't underestimate the monsters. Even if it's me, if I get surrounded by elite monsters, the possibility of coming out alive is almost zero."

Having a high level only means that one is stronger than those with a lower level, but not invincible.

He will be injured if stabbed by a weapon; he will get tired after a long battle; he will not be able to release skills after his magic power is consumed; he will die if his heart is pierced!

Even he, a level 11 warrior, didn't dare to lead his troops to attack.

If Anno, a level 10 warrior, goes to fight against the elite goblins, he will surely die!

"Captain Connor, I'm not kidding!"

An Nuo said seriously: "Even if we have the support of the three princes, who knows how many monsters there are in the Aiye Mountains?

Let's get rid of some of them before they gather together, so that we will face fewer monster armies in the future!

All adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild are members of Valkham, and we are willing to fight for this."

Connor glared and said, "But this is suicide!"

"Don't worry, Captain. I'm still young and I won't die early!"

An Nuo smiled and said confidently: "I just checked it myself. There is a group of about 200 monsters on the edge of the forbidden forest. They are my target.

Tomorrow morning, I will lead people to kill these monsters.

But I need Captain Connor to attract the attention of the town of Gruul and prevent them from supporting the monsters too early!"

"More than 200 monsters?" Connor took a deep breath and said, "This number of monsters is already a lot. Are you sure?"

An Nuo nodded and said, "More than 70% chance. Even if something unexpected happens, I will be able to escape unscathed!

But if we succeed, we will not only be able to kill more than 200 monsters, but also kill any monsters that come to support us later!"

The way to escape unscathed that Annuo mentioned was the church's teleportation function.

If you really can't hold it, just teleport to the east border.

Connor looked at Anno suspiciously, not understanding where Anno got the confidence from.

He shook his head and said, "I still don't agree with your approach!"

An Nuo: "But I will definitely set off tomorrow morning. If you don't bring anyone to help us, our danger will increase a lot!"

"you……"

Connor was so angry that he wanted to slam the table. "I just don't understand. Can't we just wait for the Third Prince's team to arrive? Why do we have to take risks?"

An Nuo naturally wouldn't tell anyone about the church's specialness, but smiled and said, "We are adventurers! The monsters in this world are already powerful. If we humans don't take risks, how can we survive?"

After hearing this, Connor felt a little touched.

Humans are already in a weak position in this world. If they do not have the spirit of struggle and adventure, then when the demons launch a massive attack next time, will the Kingdom of Nigar be defeated again?

While he was thinking about waiting for support before taking action, the young man in front of him was thinking about taking the initiative to attack and reduce the number of enemies.

Connor stared at An Nuo for a long time, and said in a low voice: "President An Nuo, you are so young and have such achievements and character, you will definitely achieve great things in the future!

I believe you are not stupid enough to joke with your own life.

Tomorrow morning, I will lead the guards and persuade the mercenaries to work together to buy you as much time as possible.

I hope that if the situation on your side becomes unfavorable, you will immediately leave using the method you mentioned to get out of this situation!"

Hearing Connor say this, Anno breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that Connor was a rigid person and would not choose to help even if Annuo led his men to set off without Viscount Renault's order.

An Nuo stood up, stretched out his right hand towards Connor, and said with a smile: "Captain Connor, just wait for my good news!"

Connor also stretched out his right hand and said sincerely: "Be careful!"

After leaving Connor, Annuo returned to the gathering place of the Adventurer's Guild.

At this time, all the Black Iron-level adventurers who were staying in Luoshi Town had gathered together.

Standing in the front row were Xue Feibai and his companions, Mark, the professional mentor's disciple, and a group of experienced adventurers such as Xiao and Kahn.

Fifty-three people in total!

There are more than a hundred entry-level adventurers nearby.

They are too weak to participate in this battle.

When they saw An Nuo coming back, everyone's attention shifted over.

"Everyone, next, we are going to do something very risky but necessary!

If it is divided according to the task level, it is at least [Bronze Level]!

We need to enter somewhere on the edge of the Forbidden Forest and fight a group of monsters numbering over two hundred!

Although the guards will help us contain the monsters in Gruul Town, the number of guards is too small. The monsters in Gruul Town may send troops back at any time to block our retreat!

Deep in the forbidden forest, there might be reinforcements from monsters arriving.

All I can do is fight with you.

Now, I want to ask, are there any of you who want to quit?"

For this battle, Annuo planned to select some confidants from these Black Iron-level adventurers.

If they are willing to follow, Annuo will increase resources to train them and make them cadres of the Adventurer's Guild in the future.

For those who are unwilling to follow, no matter how strong they are, Annuo will only treat them as adventurers.
