Those who reincarnate must die.

With six heroic figures stepping forward, the many sacrifices felt much more at ease.

After all, according to the mission rules, the strongest group should be the ones who truly determine the progress of the dungeon! With hero-level characters joining, these ordinary sacrifices can earn a considerable income even without lifting a finger!

But the introductions of these heroes didn't end there.

"Since everyone has come to participate in this mission, I presume you're all here for the generous rewards!"

Olissis, a handsome blond man dressed in classic armor, laughed and said, "We're all comrades-in-arms. As heroes, we'll definitely lead everyone to the richest rewards!"

"I believe that every reincarnator will gain something satisfying!"

After hearing his speech, the many offerings were greatly encouraged.

But Olissis changed the subject: "However, I hope that other experts present will step forward and share the responsibility with us!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the hundreds of reincarnators: "Are there any hero-level beings here?"

The reincarnators looked at each other in bewilderment. Was there another expert hiding?

"Hehehehe..." With a chilling laugh, a thin, middle-aged man with a gloomy demeanor and a small mustache walked out from the crowd.

"The newbies at Altar Thirty-Six probably don't have many opportunities to meet other heroes..." the mustachioed man chuckled. "You didn't recognize me by my face, how did you know?"

Olissis shook her head, not answering the man's question: "Since we're here on a mission, we'd better be honest with each other and cooperate!"

"Very well!" The man raised his hand and took off his hood, revealing a face with dark skin but distinctly Caucasian features. These were typical characteristics of a place of exile.

"My name is Maned Wolf, and I come from Altar Seventeen!"

Number 17! This isn't a newbie; this is someone who has passed the screening process, a reincarnated being from the previous altar!

"So you're a senior!" Upon confirming the other party's identity, Olissis and the other heroes from the beginner village all showed great respect.

This is not only because the other party comes from the former altar, but also because it is an acknowledgment of the other party's strength!

Within 25 matches, he not only advanced but also passed the review, indicating that his average score per game was higher than theirs! His strength is naturally greater!

Xu also explained to Zhang Lang: "For altars before number 30, when selecting new members, the altars with the highest numbers take priority, like drawing cards, and they take turns choosing. So, the altars with higher numbers are relatively stronger... This guy should be a new member who was just promoted in the last selection. The fact that he was chosen by altar number 17 means he has decent qualities."

"I see," Zhang Lang nodded.

Many of the sacrifices had heard rumors of the hero-level promotion and review process. Now, seeing an even stronger former altar master appear, they were even more confident, clapping and cheering. Many began to fantasize about the generous rewards they were about to receive.

At this point, the seven heroes stood in the center of the group, naturally becoming the leaders of the sacrifices.

Just then, a loud horn sounded in the ears of all the reincarnators.

Everyone turned to look and saw a court official leading two squads of tall guards out of the palace and into the square, standing on the high platform at the base of the statue.

"Warriors!" The court official stood on high, his expression arrogant, holding a scroll and speaking loudly: "Warriors, you have all come from all corners of the continent, responding to the signs of the great king, to the City of Radiance, under the witness of the goddess..."

The official, halfway through his sentence, suddenly blinked and pointed to the corpses in the crowd: "What happened there? How come people are dead?"

The previous battle had been extremely swift, and taking place amidst a large number of reincarnators, so the indigenous residents watching from outside the square hadn't noticed it at all. Now, standing on higher ground, the official realized that bloodshed had occurred!

At this moment, Olissis stepped forward: "Reporting, sir, during the gathering just now, I discovered that these people were wanted fugitives. Fearing they would disrupt the City of Radiance, I killed them!"

"Nonsense!" The court official's fingers trembled. "Every warrior entering the city undergoes rigorous screening. How could there possibly be a wanted criminal! You dare to kill someone in the street, defying imperial law! Guards!"

With that, the official beckoned the guards on both sides to step forward: "Seize this arrogant scoundrel!"

"What?" This reaction was completely unexpected by Olissis!

Based on past experience, the altar usually helps to cover up the reincarnators' unusual behavior when they first enter the mission world. But this time, it seems like things are suddenly much stricter! The bounty offered by the altar is completely ignored by the government of the mission world!

At this moment, the reincarnators remembered that the mission instructions seemed to have vaguely hinted at something, such as trying not to break the laws of this country...

What to do... Olissis frowned as the guards pushed through the crowd to arrest him.

Should he resist? He was confident he could defeat a few ordinary ancient guards, but what would happen after that? He would definitely be wanted by the empire, and forget about receiving the subsequent rewards; he himself might become the reward!

Did I make a mistake from the very first step of this mission?

Elysis secretly placed her hand on the hilt of her sword at her waist, while her teammates were also in a dilemma: should they join Elysis in rebellion, or pretend they didn't know her...

This isn't heartless. Olissis wouldn't be in any danger against these ordinary guards and could always escape. But if she helped them, her teammates from Altar Thirty-Six would become accomplices and lose the huge reward to come!

What should we do? Is there any way to reverse the current situation?

Just as the hero was facing a dilemma, someone in the front row of the crowd suddenly raised their hand.

"I can testify that those who died were indeed villains!"

The heroes turned to look and saw a tall man in a long black leather coat standing below the platform, his back to them, raising his hand to the official.

Who is that? The heroes were all puzzled. They didn't seem to recognize this person. Why would he suddenly stand up for them? Doing so would only make him seem like an accomplice. What was he after?

But to everyone's surprise, after the court official recognized the man who had raised his hand, his previously arrogant expression suddenly turned humble. He even jogged down from the high platform and came to the man to bow.

"Oh my, isn't this Earl the Hunter? What brings you here?"

The man nodded: "I was also conscripted here, wanting to do my part for His Majesty! Not welcome?"

"By the goddess above, how could that be!" the official said with a beaming smile. "Your Excellency's loyalty to His Majesty is as unwavering as the Pampas; it is truly admirable!"

With that, the official waved to the guards, "Since the Earl is vouching for them, don't make things difficult for them!"

Seeing the guards leave, the heroes breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at the man. But the man didn't even turn his head, only showing them the back of his head.

The officials returned to the platform and continued reading the kingdom's bounty missions, which were largely similar to those stipulated at the altar. However, besides the Rat Emperor Carest, there were also bounties for other monsters, though these were mostly cheap kills worth a few to a few dozen gold coins—still a decent profit for the reincarnators.

Le Xinyi and Ye Peng squeezed through the crowd and came to the "Hunter Earl".

"How did you do that?" The two exclaimed in amazement. "You have such a distinguished background? Is it some kind of special enhancement?"

Zhang Lang chuckled and glanced at the two of them: "The others didn't come?"

The two sighed, "They couldn't find a merchant. Besides the two of us, the only one who meets the criteria is Su Mingda, who's over there!"

Zhang Lang followed the two men's fingers and saw a handsome, tall man, dressed casually but appropriately, standing there.

Zhang Lang remembered him: "I think he was... a salesman?"

"He's a sales manager at a big company!" Ye Peng laughed. "And he was recently promoted; he's now managing a branch office on his own—a proper General Manager Su!"
