"You can do the honor," Illiad waved his hand to express that Brad could have the first prey.
"Thank you," Brad delightfully smiled in response.
"Here comes the first target," Leo said through the communicators, "There are three people from the top 92 to your 12 o\'clock. Two of them are members of the Naughty Elves organization,"
"Any Support Tools?" Ahmed asked while turning the bronze telescope towards their 12 o\'clock to have a look at their first target.
"Yes, but no worries, it is merely a wooden telescope, probably one of the items that they have brought along with them and not from the chest," Leo responded.
"I can finally show to Guild Leader Loki how much I\'ve improved throughout the months," Brad said excitedly.
"Less talk, more action," Ahmed prompted to make Brad start moving.
"Shine bright sunshine," Illiad jokingly said as he pushed Brad forward.
"What sunshine?! Tch, I\'ll show it to the both of you how strong I am now!" Brad sneered before starting to make his way towards their target.
"Don\'t get lost," Ahmed didn\'t forget to tease.
"You..." Brad decided to completely ignore the two, as there seems to be nothing good that comes out from both of their mouths.
Meanwhile, in the control room, Orcborg, Bagley, and Selina finally arrived.
The moment Orcborg saw Leo, he immediately expressed his envy to Ahmed\'s team, "Damn! Why do we have dog-shit luck compared to yours? Did the Evergreen royal family perhaps decided to be biased against us?"
"You can ask Luke, I also don\'t know anything," Leo quietly used the art of deflection.
"They definitely did!" Selina nodded, she then added, "Think about it, even after tens of minutes have already passed, both of our teams still haven\'t found any chest. Aside from traps, we only stumbled upon even more traps, and more, and more! When would it end? Elmont, answer me?!"
"Eh? What does it have anything got to do with me?" Elmont replied, with helplessness evident in his voice.
"Of course it got to do with you. You are a member of the Evergreen royal family. And the people who had invented both the Emerald Event and Emerald Elven Battle Competition coincidentally turned out to just be your family," Selina reasonably explained.
"But that doesn\'t necessarily mean it\'s my fault, right?" Elmont tried asking for others to help him. Unfortunately, Leo, Luke, Orcborg, and Bagley all remained silent, evidently implying that they don\'t want to get into trouble. Since it was like that, he could only explain, "Honestly, I wasn\'t even present when father and all the important members of the Evergreen royal family had a meeting about what games should be chosen for this year\'s Emerald Elven Battle Competition. So I\'m really innocent here,"
"I don\'t believe you! If you don\'t tell me the truth right now, I\'m going to ignore you! Hmph!" Selina crossed her arms together and coldly harrumph.
Seeing Selina\'s unreasonable demand, Leo and the others can\'t help but feel relieved about their decision to not help Elmont. Sorry brother, you might be a prince, but women are incarnations of the devils!
Smiling wryly, Luke said, "Take a seat, everyone, let\'s begin with the operation,"
After everyone sat down on their respective seats, Luke proceeded to wave his hand to take out dozens of documents from his Storage Ring again before he handed them to Leo and the others. He then said, "These are the members of the Naughty Elves organization that had participated in the second game \'The Maze\',"
Luke turned to look at Leo as he asked, "Guild Leader Loki if you have more to add, you are free to present them just like the last time,"
"I know," Leo nodded his head while beginning to search for the other members of the Naughty Elves organization that were not listed in the document that Luke had handed to them. After a few minutes, he began clicking the red dots on the Mirror Map Table, showing to everyone the rest of the members of the Naughty Elves organization as he then returned back to his seat.
At the side, Luke and the others can\'t help but applaud Leo\'s great efficiency.
"Damn! My team has the most of our targets!" Orcborg suddenly exclaimed after looking at the red dots located in the northern region that Leo had clicked on the Mirror Map Table.
"No worries, my team is nearby, so we can divide the work in cleaning these trashes," Selina gladly offered to lend a hand. Her team is currently at the east, so lending a hand wouldn\'t be that difficult. Unlike Guild Leader Loki\'s team who are unfortunately in the southern region.
However, Elmont, who was just listening to their conversation from the communicator, quickly objected, "No, no, no, no, absolutely a no! This time, we don\'t need to gather our teams together in a single region. Just focus on your region and kill as many targets as possible,"
"Why?" Leo asked in curiosity. Wouldn\'t it be much more efficient for them if both Orcborg and Selina\'s team gathered in the northern region? The eastern region only has a few..., to be more precise, four targets. On the other hand, the northern region has more than ten of them. Comparing these two regions, it is without any doubt much better for them to just simply choose to go to the northern region and focus their operation over there. Anyways, his team could deal with both the southern region and western region at the same time, so nothing to worry about on his side.
Instead of Elmont, it was Luke that answered Leo\'s question, "We cannot afford to cause even more suspicious to us this time. Don\'t be mistaken, we are still going to eliminate all the teams that have secret members of the Naughty Elves organization on them as best as we could, but as of now, we need to do exactly what the other alliances are doing to avoid any suspicion,"
Hearing Luke\'s words, Leo and the others immediately began observing the Mirror Map Table closely.
Eventually, they finally understood the reason why.
On the map, each of the teams that belonged in the same alliance didn\'t bother on gathering together in a single location just like in the first game \'Hide and Seek\' anymore.
Other teams who were fortunate enough to meet teams that belonged in the same alliance naturally gathered together. After all, that is such a good opportunity for them to waste. But for those teams that weren\'t as fortunate as them to stumble on their allies, they merely focused on either eliminating other teams or finding the exit of the maze.
It isn\'t really that difficult to guess that the exact reason for such an action from all the teams is because they don\'t know where their other allies are. Not to mention, even if they actually agreed to meet up in a certain location just like the last game, it would still be very difficult to gather together, considering that this is a maze and not a flat land like the miniature replica of the Mountain Wall range from before.
Rather than waste their time gathering with their fellow allies, it is much better for them to just choose to look for the exit and try their very best not to be eliminated in the second game \'The Maze\'. In other words, it is every team for themselves.
That\'s why, if Orcborg and Selina\'s team really gathered together in the northern region, not only would the Naughty Elves organization become even more suspicious of their action, but also once they begin killing their targets, it would no longer be a question anymore whether they are specifically targeting them or not, because the answer is already very obvious and plain sight for even someone really stupid to not see.
To begin with, it\'s already very suspicious about how exactly they knew about each other\'s location in this huge maze, especially without using any tools to locate one another. In addition to that, both of their cooperation would probably seem so flawless, as if they had some kind of bird\'s-eye view from the sky. And who exactly could provide them that aside from Elmont, Tifa, and Tila? All three being members of the Evergreen royal family that are currently preparing for a war against the Naughty Elves organization.
"We understand," Leo and the others nodded their heads in unison.
"No worries, in the next game there would no longer be a need for any of us to hold back. We would already be at the halfway point at that time, so what\'s use is there in hiding, right? Whether the Naughty Elves organization would find out or not, it is pretty much too late for them to save themselves," Elmont said with a cunning smile on his face.
It is already a very known fact for Leo and the others gathered in the control room right now that in the third game all the remaining participants could only send the last remaining and the best team that they have. This is because there could only be one person to participate in the fourth game, which that same person would also be the one to participate in the fifth game.
In other words, even if the remaining hiding members of the Naughty Elves organization don\'t want to participate anymore in fear of dying from Leo and the other team\'s hands, they can\'t choose to back out, since that would cause an immediate disqualification for the teams that they belonged to.
Either they participate or not, they would still end up dying one way or another. The only difference is to die on their own team\'s hands or to die on Leo and the other team\'s hands.
It\'s pretty much a dead end for them the moment they decided to participate in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition secretly.
"Anyways, let\'s begin with the operation," Elmont announced.
