Upon entering the fortress, Li Yao and his companions split from the supply team, and with the alarm sounding, the players within the fortress instantly erupted into action.
Then, two messengers ran up to the high platforms in the Fortress Plaza.
"Undead are attacking from outside again. We are now recruiting armies proficient in raids to resolve the threat outside. Those who wish to fight, sign up quickly."
In both camps, a herald appeared and began announcing the order, after which players crowded in a frenzy to sign up, with Li Yao and his group unable to push through the throng.
"Is all this excitement really necessary?" Li Yao and a few close-combat teammates formed a perimeter on the outskirts of the crowd, preventing other players from scattering them, with another task being to protect the female players in their team, ensuring they weren't taken advantage of in the chaos. After all, in such a tumult, physical contact wouldn't be penalized.
