《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Everyone was taken aback. Those were truly bold words. After all, a few of the leaders were even in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. How does she expect to beat all of them with her Initial Stage of the Core Formation Realm cultivation?
However, Via soon noticed the loophole behind those words.
"Wait... You said you would prove that you are a better commander, so a direct battle is useless. How do you expect to do it, then?"
Calina smiled before responding.
"The idea was for me to command a unit against a unit controlled by you all. However, you all have your own way of leading your teams. If I really asked you guys for something like that, I would have the advantage since there would be no divergence of opinions and orders."
"That being said, we have two options. First, you can all select a leader who will represent your units and control a team against me. However, can all of you decide on who you'll put your trust in?"
Immediately, everyone went silent. Not a single one of them would select someone else. They all wanted to be the representative of the Units. Obviously, there would never be a decision in the end.
"This won't work. What's the second option?"
Calina shrugged her shoulders.
"The game that almost any cultivator who likes to command knows about, Sisca. With that, you can all discuss your commands and reach a decision together on how to move. As you all know, Sisca is a good way to test someone's ability to command. How about that? All your heads together against mine."
Roan had to admit that he liked this game called Sisca quite a lot. That being said, he also brought a Sisca Board with him inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Every now and then, he would use Sisca to measure Calina's current progress other than just real battles. Even the map they used to check the terrain was used with Sisca game pieces.

The longer you spent on the planning table, the higher your chances of success. Roan truly believed in this saying. Other than Calina, he played several times against Rean too. Last but not least, he forced Malaka to learn how to play it. The girl didn't like to think that much, but she had to since the punishment for poor display wasn't anything funny. To a certain extent, Malaka had a good understanding of tactics now.
Unfortunately, it was just that Roan was way too good at this kind of thing. And so, he always crushed Calina, Rean, and Malaka.
At the moment, this was the only way Calina thought where she could defeat all the leaders of the other Units together in a small amount of time.
"Sisca? You want to bet the command of the elite Units in a game? That's ridiculous."
"That might sound idiotic. However, that would indeed prove her ability if she wins. Besides, suppose we don't accept anything. In that case, she can simply tell the Main Commander, Senior Kassie, that we are not following her orders."
"He's right. In any case, do you think she can win against all of us together? I don't know about you guys, but I've played Sisca with my grandfather hundreds of times. That's why I like being in command. If you want, I can play with her on your behalfs."
"Hmph! Do you think you're the only one good at this game? Forget it, I'll play with her. I doubt she would be better than me."
"Enough! There is no need for us to select a representative. We can all play together since we can take our time to discuss the best moves. As long as we don't need to follow her orders tomorrow, I don't mind what method we use."

In the end, they all nodded. Calina was right. Most of the cultivators who like to lead were also players of Sisca. Only one of the Elite Units had a leader that hasn't played the game before. The rest thought that they were very good at it.
Finally, they all reached the same agreement and accepted Calina's offer.
"Very well, but on one condition. Neither side can receive external help. Let's use a Spiritual Sense Alerting formation. That way, no one can send hidden strategies to others."
There were Anti-Spiritual Sense formations out there. However, those were harder to build and more expensive. However, if it was just a simple alert formation, then it was more simple. Even Rean could build one in just a few minutes. Of course, if the Spiritual Sense Level was too high, a simple formation wouldn't work. Fortunately, the highest cultivation in the middle of the elite teams was only the Core and Soul Fusion Realm.
Rean and a few more cultivators of the other teams quickly built a Spiritual Sense Alert formation. Sure enough, in the middle of over three thousand cultivators, there was bound to be a few who had Formation Master as a side occupation. With them working together, building the formation was faster, with higher quality, and prevented someone from playing some tricks.
"Wait! Does anyone have a Sisca Board?"
Suddenly, a white-haired young man appeared with the big board above his head. Naturally, it was Rean. The moment Calina brought her idea up, he retreated to somewhere hidden and took the board out of the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. He then placed it close by before he helped in building the Spiritual Sense Alerting Formation.
'Where the hell did this guy keep this board?'
Rean smiled but didn't say anything. He simply placed the board in the middle of the formation.
"Alright. Here are the board and the pieces."
Calina smiled and couldn't help but send him a Spiritual Sense message.
'So, you don't think this is a bad idea?'
Rean shook his head.
'Nope. It's just as you said, we couldn't have all of them become commanders at the same time to fight you. Sisca is indeed a quick way to prove your side without them complaining.'
Calina then looked away before asking.
'Do you think Roan would approve this idea?'
Rean laughed after hearing that.
'Probably.'
Far away in the sky, Roan glanced at Calina's group. A faint smile appeared on his lips for a second before it disappeared.
