As soon as the last goblin that crossed the bridge came into Anno's view, Anno knew that he couldn't stay any longer.

"Everyone, retreat quickly towards the north gate and bring them all to the north gate!"

Six dogfolks, over thirty goblins plus a level 7 goblin with a profession.

This strength could easily wipe out Bande's entire squad!

The adventurers, who were already a little scared, heard Anno's order to retreat and hurriedly ran towards the north gate.

According to the results of Rodney's discussion earlier, it was best to gather the goblins together to prevent them from scattering all over the town.

"Kiki!"

A few level 4 slimes jumped in front of Anno and were slapped to death twice by the wind wolf Anno was riding.

Behind them were troops of goblins that let out a strange laugh.

The fastest of them all was the level 7 warrior goblin.

The town was surrounded by a wall more than five meters high.

Although the goblin and other magical creatures could climb up with the help of tools, they were given orders to hunt down and kill humans.

The warrior goblin looked close to catching up with one of the slowest running humans when a figure suddenly came out from the side and knocked it out of the way.

The wind wolf shrugged it off, then carried Anno on its escape.

If she had faced the goblin alone, with his many summons, Anno would have had the confidence to finish it off.

But behind it, there were more than thirty goblins.

Anno did not want to be surrounded by them.

"Wind Wolf, activate [Wind Blade]!"

The running wind wolf spat out a wind blade towards a goblin in the back who had raised its bow to shoot.

The latter was so frightened that he dodged to the side, but he still got his arm cut off by the wind blade.

"Ow~!"

The level 7 goblin got up from the ground and charged up again.

But after being delayed by Anno, the adventurer had already run away for some distance.

Moreover, Anno kept asking the Wind Wolf to interfere with it with [Wind Blade].

The goblin could only watch as the distance between the two sides grew further and further apart.

On her way to retreat, Anno looked at his panel.

Name: Anno

Race: Human

Level: 6

Experience: 677/1000

Profession: Summoner

Magic: 432/600

Talent: [Sacrifice Spirit (Green Level)] [Five Vision Omnipotence (Green Level)]

Skills: [Magic Eater] [Low Level Self Healing] [Medium Level Perception] (+) [High Pressure Acid Burst] (+)

Anno is also currently rich in soul reserves.

[Large Slime Soul (Green) × 33]

[Slime Soul (White) × 5200]

[Wind Wolf Soul (White) × 2]

[goblin Soul (white) × 45

[Dogfolk Soul (White) × 26

[Ratmen Soul (White) × 24]

After more than three hours of fighting, Anno harvested more than 5000 Slime Souls and collected 83 Large Slime Souls.

Of the 5000 slimes, at least a thousand of them were killed by Anno.

The large slimes were basically all killed by Anno alone.

Only, magical creatures that are two levels below Anno's level do not provide experience to Anno.

So Slimes don't provide Anno with much experience, it's mainly the Large Slimes that provide the experience.

[Low-Level Self-Healing] is also learned by consuming 50 Large Slime souls.

However, [Middle-Level Perception] and [High-Pressure Acid Burst] can be upgraded by consuming 5,000 Slime Souls.

Considering that it was now nighttime combat, Anno upgraded [Mid-Level Perception] to [High-Level Perception].

The perception range changed from ten meters to twenty meters and consumed 5 magic points per second when it was turned on.

"Not bad!"

Anno nodded his head in satisfaction.

Now that he had [Low-Level Self Healing] in addition to [Magic Eater], his survivability had increased once again.

As long as he wasn't caught in a siege of too many monsters, he should be able to deal with it all.

After a few minutes of running, Anno and the others finally arrived near the town's main gate - the northern gate, that is.

The battle here was equally scorching.

Over thirty monsters were battling with the adventurers at the north gate.

At present, no adventurers were below level 2.

But they were no match for the well-armed goblins.

When Anno brought his men over, they had already been beaten by the goblins and retreated inside the gate.

Luckily, there were two level 6 mercenaries from the Bloodstained mercenary group here.

Otherwise, the monsters would probably have attacked inside by now.

The monsters that were attacking the gate suddenly saw a group of humans coming from the side.

There was a level 6 dog-head that immediately charged at Bande and the others wielding a cross ax.

While this was happening, a series of battle cries suddenly rang out from the main gate.

The dogfolks noticed that their compatriots in front of the gate were actually backing away.

They were being beaten back!

Boom!

A figure killed out of the monsters, and all the monsters around them were knocked back.

"Adventurers, your mission is complete! We'll take care of the rest!"

Rodney flung his lance in his hand and went straight for a level 6 goblin.

The goblin had just raised the weapon in its hand when it was picked off by the lance.

In the next instant, its throat was not protected by plate armor. It was stabbed by the lance and its body was picked up by Rodney into the air.

Poof!

The goblin's body landed on the ground and struggled for a moment before it was lifeless.

The next moment, all the guards and mercenaries led by Rodney, Mavis, and Sharp, began to attack the demon troops.

[Gained goblin soul (green) x 1]

Anno, who had picked up a green-ranked soul for nothing, looked dumbfounded.

A level 6 goblin had actually been dealt with so easily by Rodney.

Was a level 10 knight that strong?

However, he quickly came back to his senses.

Under the cover of Rodney and the others, he led the adventurers to retreat inside the gate.

At the same time, Lily also ran back from the other side with the adventurers.

Anno glanced over and noticed that Lily's group was considerably smaller in number.

Covering her arm, Lily withdrew back and saw Anno's figure as well.

"I'm sorry I couldn't bring everyone back!"

Lily's expression was a little dejected.

Anno patted her on the shoulder and reassured her, "You've done a good job, leave the rest to them after that!"

Over one hundred and twenty magical creatures had already gathered in front of the main gate.

But the number of level 6 or above monsters was only a few.

Although they were well equipped, they were simply no match for Rodney and the others.

In a matter of moments, half of the monster army had been reduced!

Anno, who was watching the battle from the rear, frowned slightly as she watched the demon souls that continued to rise up and merge into his body.

"That's something wrong, why are they all level 5 or below monsters? Didn't it say there were dozens of level 6 or above demons?"

Just thinking about this, one of the summoned goblins scattered around the periphery suddenly saw a group of blackish magical creatures running towards the direction of the south gate.

Shifting her consciousness to the summoned goblin lying in the grass not far from the south gate, Anno saw hundreds of goblins, half of which were level 6 or above.

There were even a few level 10 goblins!

"Not good!"

Anno's face changed and she immediately rushed towards the gate, shouting to Rodney and the others who were fighting the demons, "Captain Rodney, my summons have detected the main force of monsters at the south gate! Hundreds of monsters have now rushed over, and among them are level ten beings!"

"What?"

Rodney, who was also wondering why there were no high-level demons in the demon force, froze, then jolted awake and ran for the south gate with his men.

"Anno, take your men and guard the north gate. The rest of you follow me to the south gate!"

"Are there still over a hundred at the south gate?" Sharp kicked one of the demons away and yelled at Rodney, "The number of monsters doesn't match!"

"Bastard, where are all these demons come from?"

Mavis slashed her dagger across a goblin's throat and cursed lowly, "And transferring our attention, these monsters are getting more and more cunning!"

There were still over two thousand townsfolk in the center of town.

They had to get back in time to intercept the main force of the monsters.

The monsters on this side had been cleared by them quite a bit earlier anyway.

Of the less than fifty demons left, they were all below level 6 as well.

Anno looked at the adventurers with injuries on everyone and cursed in his heart, "We've been fighting for three hours! How can we block them now?!"

But he also knew in his heart that Rodney would not necessarily be a match for the main force of the magical creatures even if he took everyone with him.

"President, we're coming!"

At that very moment, Lu Yan, Chloe, and Sunow rushed over with hundreds of people.

The troops of monsters that almost rushed through the gate were blocked back again.
