“Kill!”

“Here, here!”

"Don't miss any monsters, kill all these hateful invaders!"

Fierce shouts and cries of killing were heard from the small town surrounded by dwarf soldiers.

In the center of the town, the black-armored knight looked at the battle around him with some boredom.

"I didn't expect that the place we just cleaned up a few days ago is now occupied by monsters again. How many monsters took advantage of the chaos to sneak in from the Demon Realm?"

When Annuo went out with Yinmu before, they cleared out the monsters in the town.

At that time, Anno was still known as the "Man-eating Moving Magic Mist".

"Master, the battle here ended easily!"

Ella, who was beside Anno, immediately took out a notebook and added a record in the column of the recaptured town.

In five days, the dwarf team that Annuo followed had recaptured eleven villages and three towns.

As an assistant, Anno will be able to receive a reward of 410,000 gold coins from Sagunto in the future.

"There are only less than two hundred monsters. The one thousand dwarf soldiers led by Gustav are quite powerful."

After the plan to recover the lost territory began, for the sake of efficiency, the 3,000 dwarf soldiers of the Iron Fort were divided into three groups and approached the target railway fort from different directions.

The troop that Anno followed was led by Gustav.

Most of the dwarves in this army were the ones who had defended the city with Annuo before, and they respected Annuo very much.

During the process of retaking villages and towns, Annuo would usually rush in first to check out the situation.

If there are powerful monsters that pose a greater threat to the dwarf soldiers, Annuo will deal with them in advance.

The remaining monsters were all dealt with by the dwarf soldiers.

This was also Gustav's request.

Experiencing more battles can improve the strength of the dwarf soldiers.

Anyway, with people like An Nuo around, he can be rescued in time if he encounters danger.

However, I have been following the army for five days and only encountered a sixth-level monster in the last town.

In most cases, Annuo plays the role of a nanny.

If you see a dwarf soldier in danger, immediately step forward to rescue him.

It is also because of Annuo's presence that Gustav's subordinates have not suffered any casualties so far.

"President An Nuo, you have worked hard today!"

After the battle, Gustav asked his men to clean up the battlefield, and he came to Anno.

"Gustav, the next location is the village where the three armies agreed to gather. After retaking that village, we will have to face the monsters that occupied Ironforge."

An Nuo glanced at the map, pointed to the location of everyone on it, then moved to the next location and said, "How is the progress of the other two troops?"

“President Anno, don’t worry. Monroe and Barnett were both sent by Sagunto. They are dwarf generals who are better than me.

The agreed time is five days, and they will definitely reach Kehu Village. Without further ado, let's take a short rest and then continue on our journey!"

Kehu Village is the agreed gathering place for the three dwarf armies.

An Nuo nodded and said, "I'm available anytime!"

Ten minutes later, Gustav left two decile squadrons to guard the town, and the rest of the troops began to advance towards the village of Kehu.

After nearly five hours of travel, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally arrived at Kehu Village.

From a distance, Annuo and Gustav saw groups of dwarf soldiers patrolling near the village of Kehu.

"It looks like they've arrived early!"

Gustav smiled and led Anno into the village.

At this time, in the temporary command tent in the village, two dwarves wearing sophisticated armor were discussing the intelligence on the table.

These are the intelligence about Ironforge collected by scouts.

"Monroe, Barnett, you guys are moving pretty fast. I didn't expect that I would be the last one to arrive."

Gustav walked into the tent alone and said with a smile to the two people inside.

Among them, the brown-haired dwarf is called Monroe, and he has a scar on his nose.

Barnett had a bald head and a face full of flesh.

Monroe looked up at Gustav and said with some dissatisfaction: "We got here last night! Don't you have the president of the Adventurer's Guild here? The number of villages and towns to be recovered is not more than ours, so why are you so slow?"

Monroe and Barnett are both sixth-level dwarves, with the same strength and status as Gustav.

Hearing Monroe's question, Gustav explained: "President Anno mainly cleared out the threatening targets, and the remaining dwarves were killed by the soldiers. Take this opportunity to improve the strength of the soldiers!"

"Only clear out threatening targets?"

Barnett's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "The only thing that can pose a threat to us is a level 6 monster. But how many level 6 monsters are there along the way? Isn't he just taking the money and not doing the job?"

According to the commission, Anno will receive a bounty for every village or town he helps the dwarf soldiers recapture.

But now Annuo hasn't made any move, so isn't this money just taken for nothing?

"Barnett, please understand one thing. President Anno is not idle. He has participated in every battle. He has saved many dwarf soldiers in the battles, so our team has no casualties."

Gustav said angrily, "Lord Anno was able to kill the Strider and helped us defend the Iron Fortress. Do you think he would take advantage of us?"

"Tsk, kill the Strider?"

Barnett looked at the door of the tent with disdain and said with a curled lip, "How could a legendary being like the Strider be killed so easily? I heard that Lord Hephaestus couldn't decide the winner in a short time when facing three Striders. How can a human like him kill the Striders?"

"Didn't I tell you before that Striders are also divided into intermediate and advanced levels! The ones attacking the Iron Fortress are level 6 Striders, but their strength is far beyond what we level 6 can handle. Only President An Nuo can fight them and win."

"Gustav, if they are really the legendary Striders, do you think they can be killed so easily?"

Monroe on the side interrupted and said, “Although I came to Iron Fortress after the war, according to the information you told us, the so-called Strider disappeared on the battlefield without showing any powerful strength.

Could it be that the God Walker that humans are talking about is just a slightly more powerful sixth-level monster?"

“Huh~!”

Faced with his best friend's doubt, Gustav took a deep breath, tried to control his anger, and asked, "What do you mean by saying this now?"

Monroe and Barnett looked at each other and said, "According to the commission, if that human helps us capture Ironforge, we will pay him 10 million gold coins!

Gustav, not one thousand gold coins, not ten thousand gold coins!

That’s 10 million gold coins!

Although we know that the value of taking a city is far higher than this reward, if we can take the city ourselves, why should we spend so much money on Anno?"

Gustav said speechlessly: "So, before the action, didn't President Anno tell us that there is a sixth-level Strider in Ironforge? It is impossible for the three of us to defeat a sixth-level Strider!"

"If he says there is, then it's there? What's more..." Barnett said with a fighting look on his face: "Even if there is, how do you know we are no match for him without fighting?"

Monroe agreed, "That's right. If we can take back Ironforge by ourselves, these 10 million gold coins can help many compatriots who lost their homes in the war to rebuild. We can't just let a human take it away!"
