"What you need to do is quite simple: utilize these blueprints to construct the defensive structures as quickly as possible. I will get you the materials you need as fast as I can. You must work continuously over the next three days. If anyone can\'t keep up, have someone else take their place. Our time is extremely valuable, and we cannot afford any waste," James declared in a very serious tone.

His subordinates grumbled a bit, but they understood the importance of the upcoming operation. So each of James\'s subordinates began to work at the fastest pace possible to build the defenses around the castle.

While James\'s team was busy constructing the defenses, Aron arrived with members of the Angel Guild.

"How\'s it going? Why did Irving just message me saying he wants our Angel Guild members to familiarize themselves with the area around the castle as soon as possible?" Aron asked James directly.

The Angel Guild and the Green Ivy Group had previously collaborated, so Aron and James were relatively familiar with each other.

James replied candidly, "To be honest, I\'m not entirely sure. I suspect that the recent events made Irving realize that the previous plan had some shortcomings. That\'s likely why he\'s revising it."

James\'s guess was very close to the truth. Irving indeed felt that his earlier plan was not sufficiently robust, which is why he was not only sealing the defense vulnerabilities around the shelter but also refining his overall strategy.

In Irving\'s view, he had been too focused on the safety during the relocation of the shelter, somewhat neglecting the security of the original location and the new shelter site. Therefore, in his updated plan, he made a point to reinforce the defensive structures at both locations.

To ensure that all the defensive structures could be completed on time, James specifically sought the help of the Angel Guild. He directly informed the members of the Angel Guild about the location of the castle. Aside from trusting Aron and the others, he had no better options available. Without the Angel Guild\'s assistance, he wouldn\'t be able to find enough manpower in such a short time.

After hearing James\'s words, Aron nodded slowly. "You\'re right; I think the same. Let\'s not waste any more time. I\'ve brought all the strongest members of the Angel Guild with me. What should we do next?"

As Aron spoke, Nick and Anna were wandering around the castle with other members of the Angel Guild. They were trying to get a better understanding of the area surrounding the castle. Although Nick had visited the castle before, he still wanted to familiarize himself with it again.

James glanced at the Angel Guild members wandering around. "What you need to do is quite simple: do your utmost to help us complete the construction of these defensive measures as quickly as possible."

As James spoke, he pointed towards the direction behind the castle. Aron followed James\'s finger and indeed saw the defensive structures under construction.

Aron sighed. "I thought Irving called us here for a battle. I never expected it was just to build defensive structures. Isn\'t this somewhat overkill? He could have had weaker individuals handle this task!"

In response to Aron\'s complaint, James could only reply helplessly, "While constructing defensive structures doesn\'t require extremely strong capabilities, what if we encounter the Night Blades during the construction? Don\'t you think such an unexpected situation could arise?"

Aron quickly said, "You\'re right; I did overlook that risk. Let\'s get moving right away."

After discussing the action plan with James, Aron led his subordinates to assist James\'s team in constructing the defensive structures around the castle.

With the help of the Angel Guild, James\'s progress was significantly faster than before. In less than half a day, James successfully completed the first defensive structure around the castle: a tower with magical attack capabilities. If the Night Blades were to launch an attack on the castle, the tower would serve as the first line of defense against their onslaught.

"How long do you think this defense line can hold?" After the construction of the tower with magical attack capabilities was completed, James hesitantly asked Aron.

Aron did not respond immediately; instead, he walked around the tower twice. "While the tower is a strong defensive structure with impressive attack capabilities, I don\'t think it will be very effective against a Night Blades assault. The real force that can make a difference is us. I believe Irving thinks the same way.

Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have gathered all of us together and included us in his plans."

Both Aron and James were intelligent individuals. During their conversation, they quickly grasped Irving\'s true intentions. However, Irving was not concerned about this. He had never hidden his real thoughts. Irving was eager to cooperate with anyone willing to help him. Even when dealing with certain members of the Angel Guild, he was open to temporary collaborations.

"We can only support Irving\'s actions. Because if Irving fails, we have no hope of facing the threat posed by the Night Blades," James stated firmly.

In James\'s view, given the current situation, it was best for them not to conflict with Irving. Any discord with him would only benefit the Night Blades, who were enemies of them all.

Aron nodded. "You\'re absolutely right. We must work closely with Irving. And I\'ve always been among those most eager to eliminate the Night Blades. So, there\'s no point in wasting more time here. There are still many defensive structures that need to be built.

Let\'s get to it."

Under Aron\'s urging, James immediately began constructing the second defensive structure. Meanwhile, Irving was methodically addressing all the defense vulnerabilities at the original shelter.

James and Aron were busy building new defensive structures around the castle. Both parties were moving at a steady pace and were not overly anxious. They were progressing methodically with the overall plan.

After a long day of hard work, Irving finally finished addressing all the defense vulnerabilities around the shelter.

"We\'ve successfully sealed all the defense vulnerabilities. We can take a break for now!" Irving said with a smile to Vicky, Sophia, and Wendy.

At that moment, the three of them were too exhausted to speak. Vicky and Wendy were resting while sipping water. Only Sophia approached Irving and asked, "You\'ve managed to secure three precious days. Shouldn\'t you consider moving the shelter sooner? If you can advance the relocation by one or two days, it might catch the Night Blades off guard."

In response to Sophia\'s suggestion, Irving shook his head slowly. "I don\'t think that would be meaningful. You\'ve got a point—if I could move the shelter earlier, the Night Blades would indeed be caught off guard. However, our preparations would be lacking. The Night Blades are very quick; they can be ready for battle in no time. We need to focus on our own plan.

As long as we have a well-thought-out strategy, the Night Blades\' attack won\'t be effective. That\'s the most rational course of action."

Irving had already considered many possibilities. After weighing all the options, he concluded that only a stable and cautious plan could lead to success. Risky strategies often failed for various reasons.

After hearing Irving\'s response, Sophia nodded slowly. "You\'re right; I\'ve been too simplistic in my thinking. We can only ensure the success of our plan by focusing on our own tasks."

Sophia ultimately agreed with Irving\'s judgment and decided not to say anything further. After resting for a bit, Irving addressed the three of them again. "We have sealed the defense vulnerabilities of the central shelter. However, there are still some defensive gaps in the surrounding shelters. You need to continue sealing those vulnerabilities."

Irving\'s words elicited sighs from the three of them. However, they all understood the importance of the task ahead. It was crucial to ensure that no defense vulnerabilities remained. Therefore, under Irving\'s direction, they immediately got back to work.

Irving didn\'t remain idle either; he joined the three of them in sealing the defense gaps. Throughout the process, he also carefully inspected the area surrounding the shelter. Irving was aware that there were still some exotic beasts in the vicinity. If these exotic beasts posed a threat to them, Irving would take the initiative to eliminate them.

However, if the exotic beasts did not pose a threat, Irving would refrain from taking unnecessary action.
