"What do you mean?" Elmont and Osborne asked in unison, curious to know what was wrong with what Elmont had just said. 

"Evidently, all the remaining players would be going to the center of the map as none of us are excepted from the threat of the incoming avalanche. This means to say that all the alliances could finally gather all of their members together. So contrary to what you have just said, there might be three of us, but there are more of them!"

"And because of that, we will no doubt become the primary target of those alliances with numerical advantages in order for them to eliminate those alliances with the lowest amount of players and prevent them from benefiting from the chaos!"

"If you still thought that wasn't enough proof, then think about how our respective teams have been performing from all the previous games of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. To be more precise, what we have done, brother Elmont, is we have undoubtedly offended all the existing alliances, specifically a total of ten alliances!"

"Even though some of those alliances only have a few remaining members left, and a few of them are even below three players, that still doesn't change the fact that we have caused them a lot of trouble! Therefore, there is a really high chance for us to become their primary targets,"

"And now taking into consideration that they are also well equipped similarly to us. Hence we have no slightest advantage compared to all of them!" Leo finished explaining. 

Instantly, Elmont and Osborne's faces turned ugly. It is really out of their expectations that their good performance in the previous games would backfire on them. 

"But we can't really do anything to help that since that was unavoidable due to our goal of eliminating members of the Naughty Elves organization. As such, we have no other choice left but to face all the consequences of our actions," Leo expresses their helplessness. 

"Considering that you have spent an effort of explaining all of this to us, I am assuming that you already have a plan in mind, right?" Elmont asked. 

"Why else would I bother explaining if I don't have any?" Leo said as his lips slowly formed into a mischievous smile. 

"Wait! I have heard about this before. Is that smile perhaps the rumored smile of the Mischievous Lion Guild?" Elmont asked, really intrigued of seeing such a mischievous smile from Leo for the first time. According to the information he had received, back then when the Mischievous Lion Guild had sold all of their points to everyone in the Emerald Event that soon after caused significant changes to the top 100 rankings, it was said that all the core members of the Mischievous Lion Guild were also wearing such mischievous smile similar to Leo's on their faces as if to tease everyone for falling into their mischievous scheme. At that time, rumors were spread that whenever a member of the Mischievous Lion Guild smiled mischievously, one should expect already that they have a scheme in mind either for them or for someone else. 

"Oh damn! I didn't expect that I would one day be able to be a part of a scheme from the Mischievous Lion Guild. And on top of that, it is a scheme planned by the Guild Leader himself!" Osborne expressed excitingly. 

Leo furrowed his brows together, feeling really strange about Elmont and Osborne's reaction. He can see the reason why they are happy right now, since he has a solution to fix their predicament. But why are they also acting like it is such a great honor to be a part of his scheme? Or basing on what Osborne had just said, schemes done by the Mischievous Lion Guild in general. 

"Don't mind us, just go on with what you are going to say," Elmont waved his hand as if telling Leo that he should just ignore what they have just said and there is nothing wrong. 

Osborne nod his head and add, "Yeah, let us hear what plan you have in mind,"

"Okay..." Leo muttered helplessly before he started explaining his plan, "My plan is actually very simple. As we all know already, no players aside from us know clearly well just how many players exactly are eliminated in the Survival Games at this moment. So, my plan is we use this to our advantage,"

"How?" Elmont really wondered.

"Easy, we won't appear until those powerful alliances don't start fighting themselves. And once they began, we will try to benefit from the chaos that they are making," Leo replied. 

"But how can you really be certain that the remaining twenty-three players will indeed reveal their presence to everyone?" Osborne curiously asked. 

"Just like what I have said, they don't know how many players exactly are eliminated at this point in time. So, in order for them to know that, they will naturally have to reveal themselves in order to see other players," Leo explained. 

"But wouldn't just searching for players also work the same? After all, once there are only ten players remaining in the Survival Games, it would naturally come to an end," Elmont still doubts the feasibility of Leo's plan. 

"Tell me, have you ever tried making a plan without actually seeing your enemies? Obviously, you have not, since that would be very stupid!" Leo chuckled. He then continued, "And don't forget, all players would have to search for their allies, right? And how else can they easily find their allies if they don't reveal their current whereabouts to them? Especially if we consider the fact that no players will deliberately or voluntarily reveal themselves to anyone unless if there is a good reason for them to risk doing that,"

"Besides that possibility, some alliances have been formed temporarily due to the location where the players have entered the map. So, once those temporary alliances are disbanded, and their members are going to their actual alliances, they would naturally reveal the information of their previous allies to them. In such a way, all alliances will learn of the exact number of remaining players in the Survival Games,"

"Fortunately for us, no one has seen us nor knew about us still being in the Survival Games. So, we will keep it that way until the perfect opportunity comes for us to reveal ourselves," Leo finished explaining his plan.
