Dart wanted to run very much at this point.
But reason told him that if he ran now, he would have no chance at all.
Although Dart had been optimistic before, he was not stupid.
Since he has been discovered by An Nuo, if he shows any resistance, An Nuo will most likely want to kill him.
By then, he would most likely be easily dealt with by Annuo's summons, just like the monsters he encountered in the dungeon.
Dart figured it all out in a very short time, gave up the idea of escaping, rubbed his face, took a deep breath, and walked out of the base with a smile on his face.
As he walked, he said, "An... Lord, why didn't you inform me in advance that you were coming so that I could welcome you."
Dart's humble appearance instantly stunned the people around him.
When did they see Dart's face like this?
Even when facing the Earl of Sambir, Dart, who had entered the seventh level, was indifferent.
Now, facing a young man, he is so servile!
Everyone instantly thought that the young man who came to the Jackal Mercenaries to cause trouble was not of simple status.
The most nervous person among all the people present was the sixth-level hunter who had just spoken harshly to An Nuo.
Even his own captain, Dat, was so respectful to An Nuo.
Why does he threaten others?
Especially when he saw Anno giving him an ambiguous smile, the hunter felt more and more uneasy.
Shadow Anno watched Dart come out, and he stopped paying attention to Rab, and smiled at Dart and said, "I thought you would keep running!"
"How...how could that be?"
Dart's forehead was covered with sweat, and he stammered, "See...seeing you, my Lord...I am so happy."
After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly popped into Dart's mind.
He straightened his back and reported to Anno with a serious face: "My Lord, I have been working hard to develop and expand my power and influence in Sanbir for several months, with the purpose of exploring the way for your Adventurer's Guild in advance.
Now the Jackal Mercenary Group that I founded has become the number one mercenary group in Sanbir.
I have also laid the foundation for the development of the Adventurer's Guild in the Principality of Orebor.
I should have reported this to you in advance, but the Principality has encountered some difficulties recently, and I was delayed.
Since you, Lord, have come in person, the Jackal Mercenaries' territory should be returned to the Adventurer's Guild."
The members of the Jackal Mercenaries around listened to Dart's words with a look of disbelief on their faces.
Now, it seems that the most powerful mercenary group in Zambier City is about to be handed over to the Adventurer's Guild?
This is so magical!
But for Dart, as long as he can make Anno happy, stop pursuing previous responsibilities, and save his life, nothing else matters.
Compared to the shock of the mercenaries around him, there was no change on Shadow Annuo's face.
This made Dart very uneasy, and he couldn't figure out what Annuo meant.
Just when the scene fell into an eerie silence, the arrival of a group of people broke the situation.
"Captain Dart, as the strongest mercenary force in Sambier City, what do you want to do by mobilizing so many troops?"
A middle-aged man with short grey curly hair walked over surrounded by a group of soldiers.
The middle-aged man was the lord of the city of Sambir, Sam Douglas.
After Earl Sam came over, he said to Dart with a smile on his face: "There are so many strong men in the Jackal Mercenaries. If they have energy but nowhere to use it, why don't they go and clean up the missionaries around?"
Although Earl Sam's words were meant to praise the Jackal Mercenaries, everyone could hear the sarcasm in his tone.
An Nuo also understood immediately that the newcomer did not get along with Dart.
"I'm not saying you're not doing well here!"
An Nuo looked at Dart with disdain and said, "Anyone can be sarcastic to you!"
"Bold, this is our lord, Earl Sam!"
The soldier next to Sam heard what Anno said and said angrily: "The lord was merciful and came to save you, and you dare to speak like this!"
"How dare you! This is my lord, Baron Anno!"
Dart saw that his chance to show off had come, so he rushed to Anno, pointed at the soldier who had just spoken with an angry face and said, "Apologize to the Baron immediately, or I will be rude to you!"
"Well……"
The soldier froze and looked back at Sam.
Sam was also confused.
Didn't the news just now report that a powerful young man instantly knocked down Lab of the Jackal Mercenaries?
And they were preparing to cause trouble at the Jackal Mercenaries' base.
Sam, who was worried that he had no generals available, immediately decided to save Annuo after hearing this.
His original plan was to ask Dart to give him some face.
Then he recruited young people himself.
But things seem to be very different from what I thought.
“Good dog!”
Anno's laughter suddenly rang out in the venue.
He laughed and clapped his hands.
When everyone's attention was focused on Anno, the latter walked to Dart's side and said in a very soft voice that Dart could hear:
"For a disloyal thing like you, I was planning to get rid of you."
When Dart heard this, he instantly felt a cold murderous intent emanating from Anno.
But the next moment, the murderous intent receded like the tide.
A smile also appeared on An Nuo's face.
“But you behaved well, like a proper dog.
But you have to remember, from today on..."
Anno leaned close to Dart's ear and said, "You can only live like a dog!"
I don't know why.
Dart felt that Anno was even more terrifying now than before.
But no matter what Annuo said, he could only obey at this moment.
After all, the icy murderous intent just now made Dart clearly understand that Anno could easily crush him to death.
He speculated that An Nuo might have already entered the eighth level at this time!
"I am the Earl of the Principality of Orebor and the Lord of the City of Sambir, Sam Douglas. What is your name, my friend?"
Seeing that he was left aside, Sam didn't get angry, but greeted Annuo with a gentle face.
"Wow, big shot!"
After hearing this, Anno signaled Dart to step back and said to Sam: "My name is Anno!"
"Anno!?"
Sam frowned and looked at the young man in front of him again.
A young man with black hair and black eyes.
He looks exactly like the rumored leader of the Adventurer's Guild.
"Are you the president of the Adventurer's Guild of the Principality of Nigar, Anno?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Although it is just a shadow, it is still Anno.
Moreover, Anno came to Sambir City with the purpose of finding the lord here.
"Earl Sam, right? I just happen to have something to ask you."
Anno walked up to Earl Sam and asked, "I want to meet with a member of your country's royal family. Can you inform them for me?"
The main reason why Shadow Annolo came to the Principality was actually to borrow something called "Eye of the Ocean" from the royal family.
This thing is a treasure that is strictly controlled by the royal family of the Principality of Oreber.
The appearance is a transparent hexagonal crystal.
The small ones are only as big as a fist, while the big ones are three meters tall!
When the Eye of the Ocean is placed in the sea water, it can scan the surrounding sea monsters like a radar!
What makes it precious is that the scanning radius of the Large Ocean Heart is as much as twenty kilometers!
If it is charged with external magic power and operated at full power, it can even scan an area of 50 kilometers!
This thing is a must-have "high-tech" for royal maritime merchant ships and is very precious.
But it has no effect on land.
Shadow came here just to borrow one.
After the sea creatures are repelled, release them into the sea next to the Aie Mountains.
From now on, if there is any movement from the sea creatures, we can take precautions in advance.
