Not long after Leo and the others finished planning, the barrier pushing the avalanche finally came to a stop precisely after covering thirty square kilometers of area in the map, thus leaving only thirty-five square kilometers of area.

The avalanche soon gushed forth for around ten minutes or so before it eventually started calming down.

Contrary to what Leo and the other had expected before, the avalanche only covered an extra ten square kilometers of area. It was because the avalanche was carrying various kinds of debris of different sizes, which caused the avalanche to be unable to move that far as those debris have constantly made some rough walls that hold the snow in one place and slow the rest down the way.

Leo and the others aren’t really that knowledgeable when it comes to snowy terrain, just like what they have mentioned before. As such, it was only natural for their expectations to be so far off from the actual result.

After waiting for a bit to confirm that the snowy mountain created by the avalanche had calmed down, Leo turned to look at Elmont and Osborne as he informed them, “It’s time for us to hide,”

With that being said, Leo and the others started climbing up the snowy mountain in a careful and cautious manner in order for them to avoid any accidents from happening. After all, the avalanche has ended not so long ago, so the snowy mountain is not yet considered really safe for them to climb.

Regardless of that, climbing up the snowy mountain was what they planned to do from the start, as this place would undoubtedly be the safest area for them to hide. They could already expect that no other players would try to climb this mountain due to the fact that it is troublesome to do so and that they have other important things to do like looking for their allies and confirming the exact number of remaining players in the Survival Games.

Leo and the others used the ropes and grappling hooks to climb up the snowy mountain as they slowly made their way up to the top. Along the way, they sometimes use the debris they stumble upon to hold their weight down while making their way up or to use it to pull themselves upward.

Also, in preparation for the time when they need to go down the snowy mountain due to the barrier reducing the size of the map once again, they tied a rope and hide them in inconspicuous places, which they would use later on to go from the snowy mountain down easily.

They have many ropes inside their respective Storage Rings already, so there was no problem of running out of it anytime soon.

After ten minutes or so of traversing the snowy mountain, Leo and the others finally arrived at the location good enough for them to see the center of the map and the areas close to the northwest where they are located right now, specifically both the north and west regions of the map.

As soon as they arrived and looked in front of them, they immediately noticed that all the players had now revealed themselves and were currently observing each and everyone’s actions.

Not only that, but all the players seem to have also already gathered together along with their respective allies and positioned themselves in places that give them advantages for the moment that everything would finally go down for the worst.

“Oh, it seems like those alliances plan to settle down everything in an open and imposing manner instead of hiding and to do things in secret,” Leo said, a bit intrigued by the scene he was looking at.

“Yeah, but also look at that!” Elmont said as he pointed at the alliances with the smallest number of players remaining and continued, “Those small alliances are gathered together in order to increase their number of players,”

“What a smart move,” Osborne complimented. But then he quickly added, “Though it seems like they have not entirely made their situation really better yet, as those big alliances have also formed a temporary alliance with each other and aim to eliminate the small alliances first,”

“Things have thoroughly developed more than what we have expected,” Leo really can’t wait to see how the battle of alliances would surprise them.

“Let’s stop talking and see how things would develop from here,” Elmont also has the same thoughts as Leo.

“Understood,” Osborne nodded his head in affirmation.

…..

At this moment, a total of three temporary alliances has been formed by the twenty players in the scene.

The first and most powerful alliance has a total of nine players, which are from the alliance of the top 1 to top 10, and top 11 to top 20. Their leaders are Edgar Pierce, Eme Clarity, and Eben Nero, respectively representing the teams from the Pierce Noble Household, Clarity Noble Household, and Nero Noble Household, specifically the three major Noble Households in the Emerald Tree Kingdom.

The second alliance has a total of seven players, which are from the alliance of the top 21 to top 30, top 31 to top 40, and top 41 to top 50. Their leaders are a person of the Elf race, Emil, a person of the Dwarf race, Dominic, and a person from the Fairy race, Faye, all three of them representing the major independent Guilds in the Emerald Tree Kingdom, albeit excluding the Red Fist Guild, specifically they are the Cross Blade Guild, Flying Hammer Guild, and Light Magic Guild.

Lastly, the weakest alliance merely has a total of four players, which respectively belong to those alliances that have been destroyed during the first game, second game, and third game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, and they have no leader to represent them at all. In other words, the current circumstances have forced them to form an alliance so as to not become the primary target.

Unfortunately for the weakest alliance, though, they still stand the lowest chance to possibly win this battle of alliances even after gathering together.

Nevertheless, the four players of the weakest alliance are not going to give up that easily without a fight. There is a saying that they are familiar with, “A chance is still considered a chance no matter how small it is!” This means to say that as long as things have not ended yet, then there is no telling for certain yet whether they have really lost the fight or not.
