The town of Gruul!

Among a group of monster corpses, a group of guards and mercenaries were finishing off the monsters that were still breathing.

"I was careless!"

Connor looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

He promised Annuo that he would try his best to delay the monster troops stationed in Gruul.

However, when so many monsters in the monster army retreated, they didn't even notice it.

If Mavis hadn't ventured into the town and discovered that there weren't many monsters inside, Connor probably wouldn't have noticed the monsters' retreat yet.

"These monsters are too cunning. They clearly sent more than a hundred monsters to the South Gate, as if they were going to attack. But they didn't expect that these were just low-level monsters, abandoned pawns! The main force actually sneaked away from the North Gate!"

Brook kicked the corpse of the monster next to him away and cursed through gritted teeth: "Damn it!"

Anno is still in the forbidden forest with fifty adventurers, and they might be fighting a group of monsters right now.

If the retreat is cut off, there is almost no chance of survival.

Mavis beside him sighed and said with a complicated expression: "We deliberately appeared at the south gate to attract the monsters' attention in order to cover Anno in the north. I didn't expect that in the end, the monsters would return."

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Brooke looked at Connor, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Several hours have passed and no one knows how long the monster troops have been retreating.

"What else can we do? Let's retreat!"

Connor sighed and began to call on the nearby guards to retreat.

Mavis nodded helplessly.

Yeah, what else can we do?

The return of the monster army has doomed Annuo and others to a dead end.

Those who rushed in to save people were just like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Gruul can't stay either.

If the monster troops return, it will not be so easy to break out.

"Captain, Captain, reinforcements have arrived! Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Connor was packing up to leave when he suddenly heard a guard running and shouting in the distance.

"What reinforcements?"

Connor was a little weird.

Apart from the adventurers present and those taken away by Annuo, the only professionals left in Luoshi Town were a group of mercenaries.

To Connor, those mercenaries were not reinforcements.

“Huff! Huff!”

The guard who brought the news ran all the way to Connor and said, panting, "It's the army! The Third Prince's army has arrived!"

"The Third Prince's army!"

The eyes of the nearby guards and mercenaries all lit up, and then they followed Connor all the way to the town gate.

Looking towards the grassland in the distance, there was indeed an army advancing towards the town, only a few hundred meters away.

Connor quickly took the reins of the warhorse from his subordinates, jumped on the horse, and rushed towards the direction of the army.

The warhorse rushed out of the wooden bridge protecting the river and galloped all the way.

When he was only a few dozen meters away from the army, Connor slowed down, dismounted, and came to the front of the army.

Although Connor was only a guard of Valkham, he still recognized the flag of the Tenth Army of the Kingdom of Nergal!

After being stopped by several guards, Connor quickly shouted to the front.

"I am Connor, the captain of the guards of Viscount Renault, the Lord of Valkham!"

The guards in front automatically made way, and then a warrior riding a warhorse, with a handsome face, noble temperament, tall and burly, and wearing armor, walked out.

It was the third prince Test.

A knight wearing a full-coverage helmet ran up to Tester and explained, "Your Highness, Connor was sent to Rockfall some time ago!"

"Connor, you seem to be coming out of the town of Gruul. How come the information I got from Viscount Renault said that the town of Gruul has been occupied by monsters from the Forbidden Forest?"

Tester looked down at Connor who was half-kneeling in front of him and asked with a frown.

He arrived at Valkham with his army early this morning. After exchanging the current intelligence with Viscount Renault, he set off with his troops.

Accompanying them were the guards sent by Viscount Renault and the captain of the guards, the latter of whom was the knight in front of Tester.

Viscount Renault suggested that Test take a detour to Rockfall Town first, and then use Rockfall Town as a base to capture Gruul.

However, after Test learned that the monsters in the Forbidden Forest were below level 10 and only the Goblin King had a combat power above level 10, he decided to go straight to the town of Gruul and attack it as quickly as possible.

Then organize the army to deal with the monsters in the Aie Mountains.

But now, the town of Gruul seems to have been captured by Connor!

"Your Highness, the situation is like this..."

Connor quickly told Test what had happened.

It briefly recounts the whole process from An Nuo's proposal to take the initiative to attack to the current situation where the monster troops have withdrawn to the Forbidden Forest.

"Anno? Adventurer's Guild? Take the initiative?"

Although Tester had never met Anno, he had already developed a great interest in him at this time.

A person who is willing to take the initiative, regardless of his or her strength, is worthy of Test's attention.

"That is to say, the monsters took the initiative to withdraw from the town of Gruul, but we don't know when they withdrew. And this person named Anno, is it possible that he is still trapped in the Forbidden Forest at this time?"

Seeing Tester asking the question, Connor nodded quickly.

His purpose was to let the third prince lead his troops into the forbidden forest to rescue people.

If An Nuo and the others can hold on until they are rescued＞

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Tester glanced back at the army behind him and shouted, "Everyone, speed up and rush into the Forbidden Forest. Clear out the monsters inside and rescue the trapped warriors!"

“Roar!” “Roar!” “Roar!”

The army roared three times, then changed direction and ran towards the Forbidden Forest.

When Connor saw the majestic army, he suddenly felt hopeful again.

The lowest level of the troops coming from the kingdom is 11!

With these thousands of people, we can easily conquer the Forbidden Forest.

"Anno, you must hold on, we are here to rescue you!" Connor jumped on his horse, clenched his fists, and led the way in front of the army.

"Your Highness, are we going in to rescue people or to kill the Goblin King?"

Next to Test, a warrior with three scars on his right cheek asked in a deep voice.

This is the guard sent by the king to protect Test, and his level is as high as 25!

"It is estimated that the person cannot be saved."

Tester said expressionlessly: “It is impossible for a group of professionals who are not even at level 11 to survive among hundreds of monsters.

Our goal this time is to clear out the monsters in the Forbidden Forest, and then use the town of Gruul as a base to fight against the monster team in the Aie Mountains.

Thomas, take a few scouts to the direction of the Aier Mountains to check the situation."

"Yes, sir!"

A guard behind Tester responded and left the team with a group of people, heading towards the Aie Mountains in the south.

Boom!

Thousands of soldiers started running, and the earth was shaking.

At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, just as Tester gave the order to enter the forest, dozens of figures suddenly walked out from inside.

Then, in front of Connor and everyone else's gaze, a group of professionals, their bodies covered in blood and with torn clothes, came out pulling large and small bags.

When these people walked out of the forest and saw the dark army outside, they also stood there in a daze.
