Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was not that Mike did not want to say anything, but the following discussion was no longer meaningful.

Everyone did not believe that Mike could actually do it.

At this moment, Mike continued, “The Dragon Castle will fall all the way to hell. The Dark Church will be pushed to a height that it will not be able to handle. Finally, as the Dragon Castle fail, and it will fall heavily. At that time, the Dark Church will fall even more miserably than the Dragon Castle. Old man, wake up. You should think about it clearly. Between the imperial palace and the Dragon Castle, who is your true ally? Is it really the imperial palace? Think about it carefully. While we still have the leverage to negotiate with the imperial palace, we are still allies in name.”

The Castle Lord sat back on his chair heavily. He looked at Mike and did not say anything for a long time.

Mike looked at the Castle Lord and shook his head.

“The scenery is very beautiful, Castle Lord. You can stay here for a few more days and enjoy it.”

After Mike said that, he left the room.

The Castle Lord smiled bitterly. “I came here to teach you a lesson. I didn’t expect to be taught a lesson by you instead.”

Mike had already made his words very clear. The Castle Lord did not doubt Mike’s words at all. This was because Mike was not the only one who had such thoughts. The four elders of the Dark Church all had the same thoughts. However, they were in the imperial capital and they had no room to negotiate. They did not dare to make a move. It was not until the Ruler gave this order that they sent the Castle Lord here to find an opportunity.

Many things flashed through the Castle Lord’s mind in an instant, but nothing could calm him down.

Little Jerry asked Mike, “How was the discussion?”

Mike’s face was serious as he said, “Actually, the outcome of the matter is not difficult to guess.”

Little Jerry nodded and said to Mike, “The Castle Lord has been here for more than a month. The reason why he can stay here and wait for you means that this matter still has a chance to ease up. The problem is how we can seize this opportunity and not let it slip away.”

Mike shook his head and said, “The choice has never been in our hands. I have already made it very clear to the Castle Lord, and I’m afraid that they are also very clear in their hearts. The question now is not whether we should continue to maintain the alliance relationship, but what we can do after maintaining the alliance relationship. We must let them see the hope of the future, and only then will they feel at ease in forming an alliance with us.”

Little Jerry looked at Mike and said, “No matter what we do, the Dark Church won’t be able to escape the eyes of the imperial palace. So, if we really form an alliance, it won’t be because of what they can do, but because of what we can do.”

Mike nodded. He sighed and said, “Yes, although our fists are small, they are used to protect our own people.”

Little Jerry pondered for a moment and said to Mike, “Let’s not underestimate the wisdom of others. Things will turn around. What we need to do now is to accumulate as much power as possible.”

Soon, the eternal sky of Dragon Castle ushered in the first night that it had not seen in a long time.

The Castle Lord thought for a long time. He talked for a long time with Mike, Little Jerry, and the other two. They had a full exchange of views and finally reached a consensus.

After the consensus was reached, the Castle Lord returned to the Otherworld with satisfaction. Meanwhile, the actions of the Dragon Castle became even more covert.

More and more high-level magical beasts came to the Dragon Castle. They surrounded the Dragon Castle and cast a layer of covert and powerful defense for the Dragon Castle.

Mike held the first high-level meeting of the Dragon Castle. The meeting decided the first team of leaders of the Dragon Castle.

Among them, Mike naturally became the Castle Lord. Snow Fox, Frost Giant, Akari, and Little Jerry became the deputy Castle Lord. The Lord of Storm was the commander of the city’s defense, and Nota was the head of the forging department.

Akari was also the dean of the Summoning Academy of the Dragon Castle. The Lord of Storm was also the deputy dean of the Summoning Academy. Little Jerry was also the head of the finance department, and William was the head of the Intelligence Department. Snow Fox and the Frost Giant were also the high priests.

With the order given, the more than 1,200 heaven-tier powerhouses that originally belonged to the Dragon Castle were immediately reorganized. Soon, everyone had new jobs, and everything began to operate according to schedule.

Half a month later, the three of them appeared in front of the Dragon Castle. mike looked at the three people in front of him and raised his eyebrows. He asked, “The three of you came here specifically to seek refuge with us?”

Acilio looked at Mike and widened his eyes. He said, “That’s right. Otherwise, why would I bring my two disciples through the Divine Powerless Zone, through the Beast Circle, and come to your door?”

Hearing that, Mike immediately beamed with joy. He said, “Welcome, welcome. We still have many positions. Please feel free to choose.”

Acilio pondered for a moment and said, “Actually, I don’t care about these things. I just don’t want to live under someone else’s roof. Although it can be considered living under someone else’s roof here, it’s still much more comfortable than living under the eyes of the Ruler.”

Mike smiled and said, “There’s no need to say anything else. As long as you’re willing, you’re one of us.”

Acilio nodded and said, “Kid, you’re still as talkative as ever. It’s up to you. Just arrange some work for us.”

Mike nodded.

This Acilio was the divine-tier expert that Mike had met back when he was wandering in the Western Regions. However, later on, when the Western Regions fell, the old man had actually escaped to the Dark Church. This could be considered a trick of fate.

The arrival of these three people indicated one thing. Firstly, the Castle Lord and the others had already made their positions clear to Mike. Secondly, they had asked Mike for an answer.

Mike and Little Jerry discussed for a long time before finally deciding to place the three of them into Little Jerry’s financial department. They would be in charge of collecting and hunting, and all their actions would be at their own discretion.

In this way, everything was settled, the Dragon Castle began to operate. Everything began to develop in a good direction.

Mike squeezed out a drop of his blood. He used this drop of blood to make 20 million tokens, and gave a part of it to the natives in the castle.

After doing all this, Mike nodded. With an order, all the defensive barriers of the Dragon Castle were opened, and the city that stood on the snowy plains was finally able to stand firm.

Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. The situation of the Otherworld had changed drastically.

The Dark Magi attacked from both east and west. The otherworld was in constant retreat. Every day, countless new undead were born. Every day, there were people who died. As the situation worsened, the difference in strength between the two sides gradually decreased.
