[Guild crusade mission: A large number of slimes have appeared on the grassland outside the town of Gruul. All members of the Adventurer's Guild are now responsible for the crusade.]
[Quest level: Special guild quest. Recommended adventurer level is 0 to 5]
[Mission objective: Clear out the slimes and resolve the crisis in Gruul Town]
[Task Reward: 2 Gold]
[Guild crusade benefit: If you are hit by Slime Acid, you can ask Guild members Liu Rongrong and Ning Wen for free treatment]
The reward of two gold coins seems to be quite a lot, but converted into copper coins, it is a full 20,000 copper coins!
But if it was divided among more than two hundred people, each person wouldn't even get a hundred coppers.
But it was because Annuo wanted to take the opportunity to improve the overall strength of the adventurers that he let everyone participate.
As the number of people increases, the reward will naturally be less.
In fact, An Nuo can complete this task with Xue Feibai and others.
It’s just that there are a lot of slimes, so it takes longer to clean them up.
The adventurers who participated in this mission were excited when they saw the guild mission benefits.
As a healing profession, priests are quite special and are generally absorbed by major forces.
There is not a single priest among the adventurers before him.
Some people used to worry that the cost of treatment would be too high if they were accidentally injured.
Now that this worry is gone, all the adventurers participating in the mission rushed back to prepare.
Those who have not become adventurers also quickly find Maggie and the others to register.
The day goes by quickly.
Annuo handed the Adventurer's Guild headquarters to Maggie for guarding, and then led the gathered adventurers to the town of Gruul.
Early in the morning, the people of Valkham saw a group of people walking out of the city gate in a mighty manner.
People who didn't know the truth thought that it was a medium-sized mercenary group going out in groups.
Some people who were more informed, seeing Anno at the front of the team and the nameplates worn by everyone, realized that the Adventurer's Guild was causing trouble.
"Has Lord Viscount made any moves recently? I saw two teams of fully armed guards leaving the city yesterday, and today the people from the Adventurer's Guild also left the city!"
"Could it be that the monsters are attacking the surrounding villages and towns again?"
"No way. It's only been a short time since the winter this year, and Gran Village and Lado Town fell. Now another village or town is being attacked by monsters?"
"Well, it's better to stay in Valkham. Although the pressure of survival is getting greater and greater, at least life can be guaranteed."
"Compared to this, don't you think the Adventurer's Guild has grown too fast? Wasn't it just established a few days ago? How come there are already hundreds of people now?"
"Hey, you don't know this.
Although the Adventurer's Guild was founded by a man named Anno who was supported by the Viscount.
But in fact, anyone who is a professional can register as an adventurer.
Looking at so many people, they are actually a group of low-level professionals.
Look at what equipment they are holding?
A random stick picked up from the roadside?
Are you planning to use the wooden basin as a shield?
These people are simply hilarious.
In my opinion, the Adventurer's Guild is just a gathering place for a bunch of rabble, and it cannot be compared with a mercenary group at all.
It won’t be long before they disband.”
"I heard that as long as you register as an adventurer, you can accept commissions and get a reward without fighting? And the guild only charges a 5% handling fee, which is equivalent to getting the full reward."
"What's the use of that? All the commissions we accept are rubbish, and the rewards are just that little. The rewards for the missions issued to the mercenary group are at least in silver coins!
Moreover, some mercenary groups in the city are already dissatisfied with the actions of the Adventurer's Guild. Although they have to give face to the Viscount on the surface, the Adventurer's Guild will definitely not have an easy time in private! "
"Hiss~, there is such a thing?"
"Of course, I am a reserve member of the Mane Hound Mercenary Group. The leader gave the order yesterday that if we meet people from the Adventurer's Guild outside, we should teach them a lesson. It's a pity that they all left today. Otherwise, I, Carol, a Level 5 Apprentice Knight, would definitely teach these adventurers a lesson!"
…
Anno rode a level 6 wind wolf at the front of the team, followed by the adventurers who were marching quickly.
Following An Nuo were Xue Feibai and others.
Several people were discussing how to lead this group of rookie adventurers into battle.
Meng Xin led the adventurers with the thief profession to explore the way ahead.
The journey to the small town of Gruul is long.
A journey of forty kilometers would still take seven or eight hours, even if the professionals brought dry food and traveled light and marched quickly.
"Anno, these adventurers don't even have a decent weapon, can they really fight against the slime?"
The person who spoke was Ning Wen.
Among the nine people now, she is the only one still at level 0.
She said this because the equipment of the adventurers following behind her was so poor.
Except for a few adventurers above level 3 who had iron weapons, the rest of the people were holding hammers, long sticks and the like.
Anyone who can come out with a shovel is already considered good!
There were even some people who came out empty-handed, carrying only a wooden basin!
An Nuo rode on the Wind Wolf and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "Slimes aren't very strong to begin with, minus the acid. I also went to the grasslands to fight with just a club!"
"Conquer...all directions!"
Ning Wen's mouth twitched unconsciously, "But they are different from you!"
"Don't worry, don't think they are that weak. These people are professionals who joined the Adventurer's Guild three days before it opened!"
Ning Wen didn't quite understand what An Nuo meant, so she asked, "Is there anything special about this?"
"Haha, this shows that their hearts have not been smoothed out until now, and they still have a desire to become stronger!"
Xue Feibai, who was standing beside him, smiled and explained for An Nuo: "If it were an ordinary person, they would just wait and see, and would not make such a quick decision!"
"Yes, whether they valued the bounty of the mission or felt that we had the Viscount standing behind us and wanted to take advantage of the situation, at least they made the decision in a short time.
In terms of action, it has surpassed most people.
And the purpose, of course, is to become stronger.
Among them, there may be some people who want to take advantage of the situation, but it has no impact on us.
As a guild, our main task is to provide them with task commissions.
The adventurers' affairs have nothing to do with us.
It’s just that it’s still in the early stages, and we need to find some potential talents to train and expand the reputation of the guild.
Brother Bai, when you lead the team, pay attention to whether there are any potential talents."
"no problem!"
The rest of the journey was a bit boring. I encountered no monsters or beasts.
Therefore, everyone moved very quickly.
We left Valkham at eight in the morning and saw the outline of the town of Gruul around three in the afternoon.
The adventurers looked at the grassland and the town from a distance.
When I saw the slimes everywhere, I couldn't help swallowing.
Only a few people had fighting spirit in their eyes.
"By God Artemis, there are too many slimes!"
"There's one almost every three to five meters. At a glance, there are at least a thousand of them. There must be even more in the grassland!"
"What are you afraid of? We have hundreds of people too. The president is here too!"
"The crops in the west are almost all destroyed! The town of Gruul is going to have a hard time this year!"
"My sword is thirsty!"
…
Listening to the discussions of the adventurers around him, Annuo rode the wind wolf to the front of the team and observed for a while.
There are indeed a lot of slimes.
But they are basically below level 3.
The problem now is that the road leading to the town of Gruul is already filled with slimes.
If you want to enter the town, you must first clear a path out!
Anuo looked back at the adventurers with different expressions and shouted, "Everyone, rest here for half an hour. After half an hour, rush into the town of Gruul with me!"
