"No wonder there are so many people here." Zheng Yichen looked at the Dusk Cathedral seats filled to capacity. He couldn't find a place to set foot. Dusk mercenaries? Maybe they're hiding somewhere, or perhaps they've just left, thinking there's no hope anymore.
After all, once Proxy Agents are involved, their mission rewards are drastically reduced—getting even a bit of merit points is already quite difficult.

Dusk's intentions were clear: with Proxy Agents involved, you mercenaries can leave the stage now.
For Dusk mercenaries, there's no point risking failure alongside Proxy Agents. Before the Proxy Agents arrive, they still have some time to collect items from the local area—that's sufficient.
The time wasted here could be better spent in another world.
