In the headquarters of the Alchemy Guild, Nelsen stood on a podium, and in front of him sat Ellie and ten chief elders!
With a solemn expression, Nelsen stated, "As always, the three hegemonies will form an All Alive Alliance a week prior to the trial plain, and it will last until the end of the trial plain!
"The All Alive Alliance is formed with the purpose of winning the trial plain before the Dark Beings could or at least win a spot to save ourselves a complete loss and stop the Dark Beings from having the rights to use 'Three Plain Authorities.'
"The last time, we somehow managed to tie in with the dark beings because the plain trial was a puzzle-type trial plain. As always, we will be first blocking the entire entrance to the trial plain so no civilian or unauthorized personnel can enter.
"The second thing will be sending the vanguard guard unit built upon the Combat Sector and our Intelligence Sector to figure out the nature of the trial before forming an accurate Expatiation Unit for the trial.
"This will be our foremost priority in the first five years after the start of the trial. Remember, the dark beings will be doing the same, and a clash with them is unavoidable.
"Both sides will be looking for stealing each other collection of data, and this data will always be in the possession of someone from the Intelligence Sector's hand, which means us!n(.O.-v-/e.-l--b)-I(-n
"The rule is simple; in case you can't protect the date, just destroy the data if you can't protect it. Even if it costs you your life, the dark beings can't have the fruits of our labor!
"The Intelligence Sector's other main purpose is to stop the emergence of a sole champion, especially if an outsider tried to claim one of the positions. If someone managed to achieve this, as the Intelligence Sector of the All Alive Alliance, it's our duty to track this person down and make sure to eliminate this error.
"Although such a thing had never happened before, this time, it might be a different case. This also brings me to the changes we have made in the All Alive Alliance because of a single threat, the terrorist, Faceless Ancient!"
Ellie showed killing intent when that name, which has been haunting her nightmares, was mentioned while the ten chief elders also wore grave expressions. They all knew just how much threat Faceless Ancient possessed.
Before, they were always fully confident that no one could rival the three hegemonies. But it all changed in these last few months when the Society Killer started a one-sided massacre with Faceless Ancient technology.
No one knows how he got his hands on so many atomic grenades, but that guy clearly has enough to cause a nationwide panic. Furthermore, Faceless Ancient has vanished since the Society Killer started his conquest against the Killer Skull Society.
Now, many people believe that the Society Killer has either captured Faceless Ancient or was in a cohort with him. Whichever the case had been, it was not good for the three hegemonies since the Society Killer was a sociopath who only wanted to end the Killer Skull Society, even if it meant killing everyone in the process!
In truth, the Society Killer was like the Faceless Ancient but was far worse. But he seemed to have vanished mysteriously over two decades ago, and everything thought he was dead until over a year ago.
Nelsen continued, "Like you, I don't know if Faceless Ancient is caught or killed by the Society Killer. But something tells me that he's still alive and probably in some partnership with the Society Killer.
"That's why our biggest concern is still the Faceless Ancient. Because he is nothing but simple. As well as being an astute fellow and talented alchemist, he is also the sole champion of the last rare trial plain!
"That's right, he became the sole champion of the rare trial plain in less than seven months, and that trial plain was also a puzzle-type trial plain, no less. Now you guys could imagine just why we all wanted him dead and how many secrets he's been hiding.
"So, he wasn't something to get caught by the likes of the Society Killer. If anything, my guess is he's preparing for someone in the shadows, and my guess is he's also aiming to be the sole champion of the epic trial plain as well.
"That's why, by keeping this in mind, this time, we have put many resources into sealing the entrance. If, by some miracle, he manages to bypass all that, then our top priority will be to end him within the trial plain.
"He might not know, but in the epic trial plain, as long as you complete a trial condition, your star ID will be announced in the entire trial plain. At that time, the dark beings will also join the fray to hunt him down if he dares to poke his nose where it won't belong.
"Or if luck is on our side, the trial plain type might be a tournament type or royal type. If this were to happen, we don't even need to seal the entrance, and he'll be doing us a favor by entering the trial." Nelsen chuckled darkly while the other chief elders also smiled evilly.
Nelsen still wasn't done as he spoke, "Other than that, I have another good news: I had persuaded three Dark Earls from the Dark City in the neutral zone to join our All Alive Alliance with their personal armies.
"So, this will be a rememberable plain trial because too much is on the line here, and I won't accept any errors. Further details are sent to your star network IDs, and you can look for Vice Guild Leader if you have doubts. It's time to start the preparations. I'll be seeing you all on the day of the alliance formation ceremony!"
Nelsen smiled mysteriously, and the next moment, he vanished from the podium like a ghost, but before that, he winked at Ellie.
Ellie pursed her lips, 'What a show-off!'
