The fierce battle alerted everyone in Red Pine Castle. All the Knight Orders stationed nearby rushed to the Griffin Platform, forming a tight perimeter several layers deep, leaving no way through.
At Garrett's shout, the Knights in the inner rings drew their Longswords, their bodies gleaming with Fighting Qi. Most of them were mid to Advanced Level Knights, and there were even Silver Level and Golden Level Knights among them.
A combined attack from that many people would be enough to give Ridder a world of trouble, even if he didn't fight back.
Just as Garrett was about to lead the men to attack, a voice as deep and sudden as a clap of thunder resounded through Red Pine Castle.
"Everyone, stop this at once!"
The voice lingered, echoing for a long time. The Knights who were about to attack were all stunned into submission, extinguishing the Fighting Qi on their Longswords.
