Graeme Barracks.

Thousands of soldiers were sorting their equipment, cleaning their guns and sharpening their swords.

Earl Wei, surrounded by a group of guards, rode a tall warhorse to the high platform in front of the barracks.

Today, Earl Wei put on the armor that had been kept in the treasury.

The heavy knight armor looked very funny on Earl Wei's fat body.

This set of armor was worn by the ancestor of the Dick family and has been passed down to this day.

Earl Wei believed that this armor could bring him good luck.

However, he had been neglecting his training, and after walking a few steps after getting off the horse, he was already out of breath.

So he casually said a few words of mobilization, symbolically encouraged the soldiers, walked off the stage, and mounted his horse with the help of his entourage.

"Don't worry, father. With our current strength, Viscount Renault is simply not someone we can resist. We will win this battle!"

Gavin Dick rode beside Earl Webb.

As the eldest son of the Earl and the first heir to the title, Gavin has always been strict with himself.

He is now 32 years old and a level 19, third-order knight!

The bulging muscles on his body showed that this knight was no good-for-nothing.

Gavin was the most accomplished of Earl Webb's sons.

This time, Gavin will serve as the supreme commander in the war against Valkham.

"Well, remember, no surrender will be accepted. Kill Renault, his descendants, and all the people related to him."

Count Wei twisted his mustache with his hands, with a greedy smile on his face. "Although Valkham is very poor, their population is one hundred thousand more than that of Grae City. After occupying Valkham, we must find a way to impose more taxes and squeeze those untouchables dry!"

"Father, with my strength, no one in Valkham can rival me. Please wait for my good news at home!"

Gavin has always been influenced by Earl Wei, so naturally he has the common problems of aristocrats.

Arrogant and conceited!

However, this was a war without any suspense.

After seeing off Earl Wei, Gavin immediately drove his horse back to the barracks and urged the soldiers to take action.

Grae City is two hundred kilometers away from Valkham.

It would take the main force four days to reach Valkham.

Therefore, in addition to the three thousand soldiers, there was also a baggage train of one thousand people in this battle.

There were also about a thousand mercenaries traveling with them.

However, they have to take care of their own food and accommodation, and the baggage train does not take care of the mercenaries.

When a force of several thousand men left from the gate of Gray City, the residents and professionals in the city began to talk about it.

The news that Gray City was going to attack Valkham had spread within the past half month.

In order to boost morale, Earl Wei also announced the strength comparison between the two sides.

When he learned that Valkham only had 500 soldiers, and none of them were very strong.

Everyone understands the outcome of this war.

Many people sighed, saying that Viscount Renault was one of the few good lords.

It would be a real pity if he died at the hands of Earl Wei.

However, this world always respects strength.

…

Orsans Valley.

Anno, who was hunting the third-level monster Green Goblin inside, suddenly saw the scene of Gray City soldiers leaving the city from his summoned Firebird.

The Fiery Bird was a summoned creature that Annuo specially arranged near the city of Gray.

Along with it are giant killer bees and griffins.

From time to time they would fly a few kilometers near Grae City to observe.

Its function is to monitor the movements in the city of Grae.

“Finally, there’s some action!”

An Nuo murmured something in a low voice, then set his eyes forward.

Surrounded by more than thirty third-level summons.

The petite Liz was engaged in a one-on-one battle with a green humanoid creature.

The Green Goblin is a monster transformed from plants, with a body made up of vines and leaves.

Anno did not let all the summons take action, mainly to hone Liz's strength.

After all, it is Annuo's only contract object at present, and its own strength must keep up.

Of course, Liz's most important ability is [Commander].

After entering the third stage, the [Commander] strengthens the friendly units under Liz's command by 30%.

Plus Anno’s summoner skill [Frenzy].

Even if the summoned creature is only level 16, after the strength is increased by 130%, a level 17 creature may not be able to defeat it.

“Ouch~!”

Although the Green Goblin had a strong regenerative ability, he was still no match for Liz and fell to the ground with a whimper.

Liz retracted the long whip with a sharp blade at the tip, wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned back and smiled at An Nuo: "Master, successful kill!"

"good!"

Anno received the soul of the green goblin and gave Liz a thumbs up.

The Green Goblin was the 72nd third-level monster hunted by Annuo in the past half month.

One reason is that each third-level monster has its own territory in the Orshens Valley and they do not appear in groups.

Another reason is that the number of third-level monsters is far less than that of second-level monsters!

There are seventy-two third-level monsters, the highest level of which is the level 18 giant swamp crocodile.

A total of more than 80,000 experience points were provided to Anno, which was still a long way from the 100,000-point upgrade.

However, since Earl Wei has already started to act, Annuo can no longer continue to kill monsters in the valley.

After taking out the wooden core from the Green Goblin's body and collecting the green flower growing on its head - the summoning material, Annuo took Liz back to the church outside.

During this period, probably because Earl Wei was preparing to start a war, the number of mercenaries heading to the Orsan Valley decreased a lot, and basically no one discovered the church.

Back in the Forbidden Forest, Anno's body appeared in the church here.

Compared with before, the church here is surrounded by a tall house, and the church itself has been cleaned up again.

Not only were the surrounding walls rebuilt, but the broken stone pillars were also replaced.

Because the heritage of the broken stone statue had been obtained by Annuo and there was no point in keeping it, Annuo asked the stonemasons in the town of Gruul to build a new stone statue to replace the original one.

Many decorations were added to the church.

Overall, this church has taken on a real look.

The reason for doing all this is that Philomena exchanged a technology with Anno.

This technology is to 'charge' the teleportation array.

You just need to add a small soul storage array and place the soul in the array in advance.

After that, even if Annuo is not there, others can use the teleportation array!

When An Nuo heard this, he immediately agreed.

After all, when the guild's cadres use the teleportation array to go to various branches in the future, Annuo, the president, can't always stay in the adventurer's hut to open the teleportation array for them.

With the soul storage array, everything will be much better.

Of course, the divine protection formation has been engraved on the bluestone slab on the ground!

Walking out of the huge room where the church was located, Anno came to the hall of the adventurer's hut.

After investing a lot of manpower, the first phase of the Adventurer's Hut has been completed.

The overall outline has been completed, and all that remains is decoration.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the hall.

They are all bronze-level adventurers who have always followed Annuo.

Such as Mark, Hansen, Lunn and others.

They have been exploring the Eie Mountains these days, and after completing their missions, they will return to the town of Gruul to rest or visit the Adventurer's Hut.

Seeing An Nuo coming back, everyone was shocked.

A week has passed since An Nuo last left.

Before leaving, Anno said that he would only come back when there was action in Gray City.

"Glai City's soldiers have already been dispatched, and the war between Valkham and Grai City is about to begin.

Many people will pay attention to this noble war.

Since the Adventurer's Guild has accepted the Viscount's commission, it must demonstrate well and make the Adventurer's Guild famous! "
