Today is the day when the participating teams and support troops prepare to head to Warrengle.
The participating teams and adventurers who want to go to Warrengel need to line up in front of the tournament hall and wait.
Then, under the guidance of the soldiers, go to where the portal is located - the military camp!
This journey is nearly several kilometers long, and its purpose is to let people in the royal city know that these contestants are about to go to the front line to compete for the title of "Number One in the World".
In a tavern near the martial arts arena, several ordinary people were discussing.
"I heard that the battles in Warrengel are getting more frequent. Although many monsters have died on the side of the Demon King's army, the attack has never stopped. A section of the city wall was broken, but fortunately it was repaired later."
"How did you, an ordinary person, get this information?"
"Hey, I heard about it in the Adventurer's Guild. The adventurers there discussed it. These past two days, I also saw the guild issue a collective mission, calling on adventurers to go to Warrengel to hunt monsters!"
"Didn't they say that the world's best finals would be held in Warrengel? The mercenaries won't go, and some even withdrew from the finals. Will there be adventurers going to the front lines?"
"I'm not sure about that. Anyway, when the mission was posted, I saw some adventurers signing up!"
"Is there really anyone going? In that case, adventurers are more responsible than mercenaries!"
"Nonsense, the vast majority of adventurers are from our country. Compared to those mercenaries who try every means to charge high fees, the Adventurer's Guild is an organization that benefits the people."
"I heard that when the guild was first established, it had the support of His Highness Tester, which deterred the mercenaries who came to cause trouble."
"When I went to watch the game, I also saw His Highness Tester's face. He was indeed handsome and majestic!"
"Mercenaries caused trouble when the guild was founded. Is this true?"
"Those mercenaries stayed behind when fighting to defend their country, but rushed to the front when fighting for money."
"I'm just a passerby. I don't have any favorable impression on mercenaries! Especially those mercenary groups that withdrew from the competition. Sigh~, which mercenary groups were they?"
As the man was speaking, he suddenly saw a group of mercenaries walking in from outside the tavern.
The man pointed at the pattern on the mercenary's chest and said loudly, "Yes, yes, yes... It's this pattern. It's this mercenary group that gave up because they were afraid to go to Warrengel!"
Just as he finished speaking, he noticed that the mercenary at the door was staring at him fiercely, and he was so scared that he quickly buried his head in eating.
Bang!
One of the mercenaries walked over, slapped the table, and said viciously: "Since when did even a scum like you dare to talk about our Black Python Mercenary Group? Don't you know that we are the seventh-ranked mercenary group in the Royal City?"
"My lord, I was wrong!"
Faced with ordinary people who were trembling all over and apologizing in fear, the leading mercenary snorted coldly and glanced at the people watching the show in the tavern with a cold gaze.
"To put it bluntly, adventurers are a group of people who want to join a mercenary group but don't have the strength. Some of them are from small mercenary groups. I am shocked that such a bunch of idiots like you can praise them like this!"
"If it weren't for the World's No. 1 Professional Competition, how many mid-level professionals would the Adventurer's Guild have before? There are so many adventurers now, and they all got this identity just to sign up. Now that they know we have to go to Warrengel for support, those adventurers may have taken down the broken nameplate and thrown it away!"
"Didn't the president of the Adventurer's Guild call on adventurers to go and support Warrengel? Since everyone is saying that the Black Python Mercenary Group is cowardly and afraid of fighting, I want to see how many people in the Adventurer's Guild you praise are willing to die!"
"Hahaha……"
Several mercenaries found a table and sat down, ready to watch the adventurers make fun of them.
In their view, most adventurers are professionals who have been screened out by mercenary groups or are from small mercenary groups that have no business.
Putting aside their strength, these adventurers have no sense of justice!
A group of adventurers who do quests for rewards are no different from them.
How could such a person go to the front line where the mortality rate is extremely high?
They came here just to see the Adventurer's Guild make a fool of itself.
Not long after, shouts from residents outside were heard.
"Here they come, the participating teams are coming!"
Hearing the sound, people in the tavern ran out.
People pouring out of the buildings on both sides filled both roads.
Everyone wanted to see how many adventurers Guild Master Anno could mobilize to support Warrengel.
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Anno rode Sasir, followed by Ruth, Xue Feibai and Lajil, to the guards in front of the guild hall, waiting for the arrival of others.
Afterwards, more and more contestants arrived, and half an hour before the agreed time, all fifty contestants had arrived.
Apart from them, no other adventurers came.
"Hahaha... I'm dying of laughter. After all this time, not even one person is willing to come?"
"Is this the Adventurer's Guild? Is this the appeal of the Adventurer's Guild's president? That's amazing!"
"Even among the adventurers participating in the competition, more than half of the fifth and sixth level adventurers are from the mercenary group! It is obvious that the people who supported Warrengel this time were mercenaries. If the Adventurer's Guild takes all the credit for itself, it would be too shameless!"
"How dare you make fun of us! How ridiculous!"
The mercenaries who were watching the conversation became more and more excited, as if they wanted to vent all the frustration they had endured in the past two days, and they kept mocking the Adventurer's Guild.
Even the residents watching nearby had some disappointment in their eyes.
There are tens of thousands of adventurers, even if we can just gather a few dozen people together!
No one expected that apart from the contestants, not a single adventurer would come.
On the other side, An Nuo walked up to the guards and said, "Everyone is here, we can go!"
The guards also knew that the Blood Wolf Knight was now a member of the Adventurer's Guild.
He looked at the contestants behind him and couldn't help asking, "Didn't they say the Adventurer's Guild would also send people? Why haven't they arrived yet?"
Xue Feibai smiled and shook his head, saying, "The martial arts arena takes up too much space, and there are too many buildings nearby, so there is not enough open space. So our people followed the president and waited in the square in front."
“Not enough open space?”
The soldier looked around in confusion.
Although there is no square, there is no problem in cramming hundreds of people into the entire street.
"Could it be?" The two soldiers' eyes lit up and they looked at each other.
"In that case, everyone please follow me!"
The soldier walked in front and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
They wanted to get to the square as soon as possible.
"Leaving now? It seems that no adventurer is willing to go to Warrengel!"
"That shouldn't be the case. I clearly saw quite a few people signing up in the guild!"
When a mercenary heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Haha...I'm afraid you were impulsive at the moment and regretted it after you calmed down!"
"Come on, let's follow them. They were arranged to set out from the guild hall so that everyone in the city would know about their 'feat'. Now it seems that walking all the way to the military camp is just a slap in the face of the Adventurer's Guild!"
A group of mercenaries followed the participants of the competition happily as if they had picked up money.
However, when the team was about to reach the square, the mercenary who followed them suddenly froze in place.
In front of the square, the flags of the three adventurer guilds were erected high, fluttering in the wind.
Around the flag were adventurers who were either squatting, sitting, adjusting their weapons, or stretching.
They wore nameplates of different levels on their chests.
From as low as Black Iron and Bronze to as high as Gold and Platinum!
The number of people is not just ten or twenty, not just one or two hundred!
The entire square was crowded with adventurers of different levels.
According to rough estimates, there are more than two thousand people!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The mercenaries who followed seemed to be stimulated by the sight of the dense crowds of adventurers.
He pointed at the adventurers in the square and yelled, "We are going to the front line to fight. How could so many people be willing to go? This is different from doing a mission. Don't they know the probability of death in a battle with the Demon King's army?"
"Asshole, what are you talking about?"
Several soldiers nearby immediately rushed over, escorted the mercenary who was shouting, and said sternly: "You disturbed the morale of the army. You will be thrown into prison and detained for fifteen days!"
