"Dietrich, the Assembly Hall here might need some more time. Now, I’m entrusting command of the troops to you. Help me set up the internal defenses of the Screaming Castle for the time being."

Watching as his subordinates took over the interior of the Screaming Castle step by step, Gu Xi knew he couldn’t delay any longer.

He handed this task over to Dietrich, hoping he could assist in handling the castle’s immediate security issues.

For Gu Xi’s request, Dietrich responded without a second thought.

In terms of various command capabilities, Dietrich was better than both Di Mi and Amirka.

At the very least, his abilities were relatively comprehensive.

If it weren’t for his level surpassing Level 20, Gu Xi had even considered keeping him behind to manage Screaming Castle.

And at this time, Amirka made contact with nearby player forces.

This territory was allocated to the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild by Bailian City.

They dispatched a large number of players, effectively controlling the chaotic situation.

However, this game originally belonged to the Steel Ghost Claw Guild.

Earlier, when Gu Xi dealt with the Blood Dragon, he released a Flame Storm into the sky.

The illuminated range was vast enough that the players from the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild were at a loss about what had happened.

Some players nearby could only report the issue to the Rotten Forest, seeking a solution.

The Rotten Forest finally had to dispatch forces to investigate, concerned the area might have been conquered by Black Players.

By the time the message circulated several rounds, time had been delayed.

For the players of the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild to arrive by then was already considered a prompt response.

To ensure their own safety, the players of the Corpse Bone Fish Dragon Guild came with their elite troops.

Even though they knew taking elite troops might affect subsequent tasks, their mentality was more organized and disciplined compared to smaller guilds like Sunshine Ray.

Even aware of the difficulties, they were committed to accomplishing their objectives.

Upon nearing the Screaming Castle, they were blocked by Amirka.

Seeing Amirka approach, these players immediately tensed up, as situations like these required vigilance.

Amirka’s over a thousand Cyan Knights appearing directly on the battlefield were incredibly intimidating.

More so after Gu Xi had just added three hundred more new Cyan Knights.

All of these were entities above Level 15.

Such strength was beyond what these lower-level players, or even some mid-level players, had ever seen.

After all, in the game, the Undead Mage might have their own Bone Dragon Corps, but never their own Death Knight Corps.

These pseudo-Death Knights would only be among the core members of large guilds or families in small numbers.

It was unimaginable to see such a number, nearly two thousand, gathered like Amirka’s.

Seeing such a situation, several Corpse Bone Fish Dragon players chickened out.

Fortunately, they understood this task was given by Bailian City.

They still had the opportunity to ask Bailian City for reinforcements.

One player quickly reached for his waist.

But before he could act, the player next to him stopped him.

"Su Yong, now is not the time to act; we need to first confirm the opponent’s identity."

"What’s there to confirm? Look at the troops in front; are these something normal players can have?" Su Yong shouted, "It’s clear these are the Black Players we have to guard against."

"I’ve already investigated, and I’m here to block the Black Players."

"As long as we capture the Black Players, the rewards will multiply. If you don’t want to act, don’t stop me from earning those rewards."

"Wait, if you call them over now and they’re not Black Players, then what? You should know that the White Knight Order is severely understaffed, that’s why they asked us to keep watch."

Su Yong dismissively said, "How could they not be? Haven’t you noticed the many pseudo-Death Knights? Those three hundred up front are clearly above Level 15.

That’s enough evidence.

Moreover, if we call them over and they’re not, what are they going to do to me?"

Then Su Yong took out a flare from his waist and shot it into the sky.

The flare exploded in the sky with a small red signal.

Amirka saw it but didn’t pay much attention.

He actually didn’t realize that the flare wasn’t meant to attract people with its light when it reached the sky.

But to send a signal to identify the issue’s location for nearby White Knight Order members.

After the flare was launched, the player who advised Su Yong immediately stepped back.

"This has nothing to do with me; I’m retreating. Su Yong, your actions will be reported, and you should consider how to respond to the superiors’ inquiries."

Before he finished his words, the other players also responded similarly.

They realized that Amirka, who hadn’t acted, wasn’t an underling of Black Players.

Previously, they might still have had a chance to communicate with Amirka.

Now, there was likely no chance for dialogue.

If they didn’t retreat now, their troops would be dragged into Su Yong’s attack on Amirka.

No matter Amirka’s strength, they wouldn’t gain anything.

Moreover, if a fight broke out, all the benefits would go to Su Yong, and they would gain nothing.

Why would they throw themselves into such a situation?

So, they retreated quickly, but not without keeping an eye on Amirka’s direction.

They were wary of Amirka launching an attack on them if he noticed something wrong.

Unbeknownst to them, when they first arrived, Amirka did have the intention to attack.

But once the flare went up, Amirka suppressed his urge to act.

In Amirka’s perspective, with the flare up, any action on his part would result in the incoming reinforcements not assisting him.

To avoid unnecessary conflict with reinforcements, he decided to stay put and observe who was coming over.

If, upon arrival, they attacked Amirka, well, Amirka didn’t care whether they were players or something else; he would fight.

Ever since acquiring over three hundred Advanced Cyan Knights, Amirka hadn’t fully showcased the power of his Cyan Knights.

Now was a rare opportunity for him, and he intended to perform well.
