Kingdom of Nergal.
The Royal City of Sodar!
It took An Nuo and his group a whole month to return from Zijinlan City and finally they returned.
Because the scouts notified him in advance, Tester got the news.
When the convoy arrived, Tester and his soldiers were already waiting in the square near the entrance of the royal city.
There were many onlookers and adventurers nearby.
"Annuo, if you don't come back, I will send someone to look for you!"
Seeing Anno getting off the carriage, Test walked over happily and gave Anno a bear hug.
It's no wonder Tester said that. Under normal circumstances, with the speed of Annuo and others, they can get back in half a month at most.
It ended up taking a full month!
Tester almost thought that something happened to Annuo on his way back.
An Nuo pushed Tester away and said with a smile: "It's a little slow, but good things come to those who wait!"
"Your safe return is the best thing!"
Tester looked at the group of people behind Anno with a smile.
Among the adventurers, there was a group of soldiers wearing damaged Kingdom uniforms.
As the guards originally selected by Test, Reiner brought his surviving teammates, a total of 29 people, lined up in front of Test and half-knelt on the ground.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Tester looked at the guards, whose numbers had been greatly reduced, his face froze and he sighed.
According to the information told by the Dwarf King, Test knew that it was already good enough if half of the people came back alive.
After all, there were more than a dozen god-level warriors involved in that war!
"Everyone!"
Seeing that Tester had a melancholy look on his face, Reiner led all the guards to perform a standard knight's salute in order to make his master happy, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the square.
“Reporting to Your Highness, the Guards’ first elite training camp should have 50 members, but the actual number is 29.
Now that they have completed their studies, all members have made a breakthrough and advanced to a higher level.
Please review it! "
After the last word fell, Reiner immediately released the magical fluctuations in his body.
The remaining twenty-eight members of the guards also released magical fluctuations shortly afterwards.
A moment.
The square was covered by powerful magical fluctuations.
Ordinary civilians couldn't help but tremble in their legs under the tremendous pressure.
But the crowd watching was more shocked.
What did the soldier say just now?
Complete your studies?
All members advanced to advanced levels?
Twenty-nine high-level warriors?
This is too scary!
But after the shock, excitement came over me.
In the past, whenever a high-ranking person appeared, the kingdom would publicize and celebrate with great fanfare.
Now the kingdom suddenly has nearly thirty more high-level warriors.
This is such a great joy!
This is the most direct manifestation of a country’s strength!
whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
Several figures flew over from the direction of the inner city.
These people had already started fighting on their way here.
They only felt that dozens of seventh-level magic fluctuations suddenly appeared in the city, and they thought that enemies had invaded the royal city.
However, after arriving at the scene, they found that the ones emitting these magical fluctuations were a group of soldiers wearing the kingdom's standard equipment.
At this time, these seventh-level soldiers were standing in front of Tester, looking like they were being inspected.
"Damn it, am I entering a fantasy world?"
The high-level warriors who rushed over looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
What the hell?
The seventh-level strongmen have started to wholesale?
The most excited person in the venue was Test.
Ever since we learned that Anno went to the Dwarf Kingdom to participate in the war, various unexpected situations have occurred on the battlefield.
Tester was extremely worried.
I thought it would be good enough if a group of people could come back alive.
Unexpectedly, those who came back alive have already broken through to a higher level!
“This, this, this…”
Test pointed at Reiner and the others and looked at Anno.
An Nuo smiled and nodded, "I told you, good things take time!"
The reason why it took a month to get back was because everyone was busy on the way.
Anno needs to replenish the number of summons.
Those soldiers and adventurers at the peak of level six need combat experience to break through.
Therefore, every time the convoy went into the uninhabited mountains or plains, it would often encounter attacks from unknown enemies.
And they come in a group.
A bunch of peak level six warriors, plus a few peak level seven warriors taking the lead!
Every time An Nuo arranged an enemy, it was after rough calculation.
It is just within the tolerance range of everyone and will not cause any injuries, but it still requires one to do one's best.
Along the way, the soldiers and adventurers who were given clear arrangements had some guesses in their minds.
But they really couldn't understand how Annuo created so many enemies.
However, everyone guessed that this had a lot to do with the confidentiality agreement signed previously - Annuo made everyone sign a confidentiality agreement, and they must not tell anyone else about their experience in the training camp.
Now, not only Reiner but also the others have all advanced to the seventh level.
The thirty-five investigators who are still alive are now all seventh-level powerhouses!
It’s just that Steinbeck and others didn’t show it.
Just like Reiner and the others, if they hadn't actively released magical fluctuations, who would have thought that all these soldiers were level seven?
The people around him naturally could not have imagined that the group of "Investigators" dressed in black and standing silently behind Annuo were also seventh-level powerhouses at this moment.
Among them there is a branch president who was originally at the sixth level, and now he has broken through to the seventh level!
Although there were some unexpected events in the first elite training camp.
But Tester got twenty-nine seventh-level subordinates.
An Nuo obtained thirty-five seventh-level [Investigators].
And a group of branch presidents who have seen a lot of storms, and they are at least level four!
At the same time, Xue Feibai and others who had advanced to the seventh rank also formally formed the Twelve Kings and planned to make a name for themselves next.
As for how to make a name for yourself...
"Anno, I have some commissions here. Can you recommend some adventurers for me?"
After dinner, Tester asked his servant to hand over a stack of commissions to Annuo.
[Commission - Investigate the number of Sea Tribe's strongholds in the Aie Mountains! ]
[Commission—Hunting down the sixth-level sea creature Dilman! Mission description…]
[Commission—Hunting down the sixth-level sea creature Madeline! Mission description…]
【……】
[Commission - Hunt down the seventh-level sea tribe Kaner! Mission description: The sea tribe general, Crab Man, who is in the sea tribe stronghold on the coastline of the Aier Mountains, has led his troops to attack the kingdom's army several times, causing huge casualties to the army! ]
[Commission—Hunting down the seventh-level sea creature Badas! Mission description…]
[Commission - Hunt down the seventh-level sea creature Cecil! Mission description...]
[Commission—Hunting down the eighth-rank sea clan commander Sachs! Mission description…]
…
Anno lowered his head and read Tester's commission, frowning.
"Is the sea tribe's attack so fierce?"
"Alas, I sent most of the kingdom's high-ranking officers to Valkham, but we are still at a disadvantage. If you hadn't rushed back this time and brought me so many high-ranking officers, I might have really asked the Roland Empire for help."
"Most of these missions have high-level enemies as their targets, and the mission rating is at least heroic. If you are the one who entrusts me with this, you will have to pay a lot!"
"So, your people can complete the mission?"
"Prepare the reward, I'll post the commission."
Apart from the eighth-level target he was going to hunt, Annuo did not intend to complete the other commissions by himself.
After training for so long, it’s time to show your talents!
Since you want to form the Twelve Kings, I will provide you with the stage.
…
Adventurer's Guild.
Xue Feibai and his group looked at the commission handed to them by An Nuo and raised their heads one by one.
"Test had wanted to entrust these commissions to the Adventurer's Guild a long time ago, but he was worried that the guild would not have enough combat power to accept the commissions in our absence, and that too many high-level enemies would cause panic.
Now, he has handed the commission to me.
See if there is any commission you can accept.
The sea creatures on the coastline are so rampant, you should stay in Valkham for the next period of time."
Xue Feibai put away the commission, smiled, and said, "His Highness Tester is really generous. I wonder if we can make back his small treasury this time."
Lu Zhishang laughed and said, "After all, he is the next king, so he should have a lot of funds to spend now!"
Lu Yan placed a commission on the table and said while wiping his spear, "Valkham, it's been a while since I last came back!"
The others also looked nostalgic after hearing this.
There, is their original starting point!
