Valkham!

When the first light of dawn shone on the earth, countless people stood up.

"What the hell, I haven't seen so many people in the royal city!"

The lion-headed orc Khalifa glanced at the crowded crowd in front of him and couldn't help but complain: "It's just a scene of execution, why are you so anxious!"

The weather in June is getting hot.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Khalifa felt even hotter!

"But Boss, the person being executed this time is a member of the eighth-rank sea tribe. I heard he is the king of a tribe. If we make an analogy, the person being executed this time is equivalent to the king of a small country!"

The person who took over the conversation was a catwoman wearing the same type of costume as Khalifa.

Behind the two of them, there are several tall orcs!

They are all orc adventurers from the Lion Adventure Group.

Although their number is small, they are the elite among the elites selected by the Khalifa.

The weakest ones are at level five, and there are three at level six, including Khalifa.

In addition to the sexy and hot Catwoman, there is also a rhino who stands at the end of the team and doesn't talk much.

Catwoman turned around and winked at Khalifa, smiling and said, "Besides, Boss, you got up so early just to get a good seat. Usually you sleep until the sun is shining on your butt."

"Go! Go! Go!"

Khalifa waved his hand and said to the crowd, "Everyone, move closer together, don't get separated by the crowd!"

As he spoke, he led his team members into the crowd and followed the flow of people towards the central square.

There were many level six warriors like Khalifa who came to watch the fun.

Even the seventh level from the royal city came over.

It’s not that they haven’t seen eighth-level people being killed before; they have experienced it on the battlefield.

But the king of one of the sea tribes was captured and beheaded in public.

They also wanted to see such an exciting scene.

"Damn, where did this lion man come from? You're so big and yet you're so close to the front, blocking us!"

Hearing the protest behind him, Khalifa, who had finally squeezed to the front, turned around and glared.

The thick mane moved without wind, and the knife wound across his eyebrow made Khalifa look even more ferocious.

There was a sudden silence behind me.

“Tsk~!”

Khalifa smacked his lips, turned his head to look at the wooden house in the central square, and continued to wait.

"Khalifa, don't be so arrogant here today, or you might get invited to have tea by the [Investigator]."

Hearing the familiar voice, Khalifa looked down to his side.

A handsome human in casual clothes was looking at him with his arms folded across his chest.

"Berkeley!"

Khalifa burst into laughter when he spotted his acquaintance.

By the way, he, Berkeley, and the elf Green who won the [World's No. 1 Professional Championship], had all met Anno before.

That was also an invasion by the sea tribe, but the leaders were Ella and Adelaide - that was also when O'Casey and Salom met Anno.

The mercenary group led by the two at the time was also quite strong.

Finally, when Annuo allowed the establishment of an adventure group, the two of them acted decisively and immediately transformed.

Now Khalifa and Berkeley have not seen each other for some time.

"I'm just teasing those guys, I won't do anything!"

Khalifa knew that Berkeley was referring to his previous threat to the adventurer behind him, and then he said, "I didn't expect you to come too!"

Berkeley looked around Khalifa and asked in confusion, "Are you alone now?"

"No, the others got lost while walking!" Berkeley asked back, "Are you alone now?"

Berkeley shook his head and said, "Like you, all of my teammates are lost."

Then the two of them looked past the city defense soldiers who were setting up the cordon and looked towards the huge wooden house in the central square.

After a moment of silence, Khalifa asked, "How's business lately?"

Berkeley said calmly, "It's OK. Large orders of platinum and mithril levels only appear occasionally, and they are quite dangerous. However, small orders of gold level and below are continuous."

Berkeley's Steel Cavalry Adventure Group was also the elite of the mercenary group, with two at the sixth level.

Not long ago, they just obtained the title of Mithril-level adventure group.

The Mithril-level tasks that require a Level 6 to complete are basically issued by Warrengel in the North and Valkham in the South.

Either fighting against the demons or fighting against the sea tribe.

The risk is quite high.

In order to advance to the Mithril level, many members of their adventure team were injured while doing commissions in the North and are currently recuperating.

"It seems that our situations are similar!"

Khalifa complained: “The number of adventurers in the Kingdom of Nigal has basically stabilized. After all, there are only so many professionals in this country at present.

However, the strength of these adventurers is increasing, and the guild's mid-level commissions are gradually becoming insufficient.

I’ve even started doing business overseas.”

Berkeley raised his eyebrows and said, "Abroad?"

"Escort some merchants to the Orcs United!"

"Aren't you from the Orc Union?"

"Don't mention it. That country...if no orcs stand up to change the status quo, things will get worse and worse."

Speaking of the Orc Union, Khalifa's expression became a little unhappy.

At present, the group that has suffered the most internal wars is probably the Orcs United.

While other countries are developing rapidly, those brainless orcs are still fighting among themselves!

Khalifa shook his head, as if to shake off these unhappy things.

"In my opinion, the development of the Adventurer's Guild has also reached a bottleneck. Nowadays, powerful adventurers can only accept a few commissions.

Moreover, with so many adventurers, the resources of the Kingdom of Nigar alone are already stretched to the limit.

If it wants to continue to develop, it has to look to other countries.

But if this happens, the Kingdom of Nergal and the Adventurer's Guild will inevitably become the target of public criticism.

Oh, it’s difficult! "

Hearing this, Berkeley smiled and shook his head: "Not necessarily!"

Khalifa looked at Berkeley in confusion.

“Although I don’t know what the Adventurer’s Guild is going to do, I accepted a mission issued by the guild in the Western Territory before.

The mission requires us to capture various types of monsters alive.

From the zero-level slimes and goblins to the three great monsters, we want them all!"

Khalifa frowned and asked, "What's the problem with this?"

“They plan to keep the monsters in captivity in a mountain forest not far from a small town!

I felt something was wrong, so I observed a little, and then I found out that they were preparing for the students of the Adventurer Academy.

The Adventurer's Guild plans to build a Warcraft training ground for future students to use!"

"Adventurer Academy?"

"My intuition tells me that the Adventurer's Guild is planning something big, and the development of the Kingdom of Nergal and the adventurers will not be curbed!"

Boom boom boom…

The two people who were talking were suddenly attracted by the sound of war drums.

Then they and the people in the central square and in the windows and rooftops of nearby buildings all looked up at the sky.

I saw a birdman with his tongue hanging out, riding on a flying monster, flapping his wings and flying down.

Afterwards, more flying summons with the Adventurer's Guild logo on them, escorting a group of sea creatures, flew over from the distant sky and landed in the central square.

At this time, the two noticed that there were many more "investigators" wearing masks around them.

They and some summoned creatures that landed scattered around the square.

There is no doubt that they came to prevent riots.

When I saw a familiar black-haired young man riding a Silver Moon Blood Wolf walking along the pre-reserved path.

Khalifa and Berkeley said in their hearts at the same time: "It's about to begin!"
