Contrary to what everyone was saying, though, Leo said, "Not necessarily,"

If it were only Orcborg, Selina, Luke, and Bagley present in this room right now, or even if Elmont, Tifa, and Tila were also here, then it would indeed be really difficult for them to use those members of the Naughty Elves organization that they have already identified to look for their other comrades that have secretly participated in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. However, with him being present here, it would no doubt be a completely different story. 

At this moment, Leo is constantly changing the scenes of the light screens in front of him to all the different teams, as if he was trying to look for something. Well, he was indeed searching, but what the others don't know about was he is now using his unique capability to see the String of Fate to find those people with a black-colored String of Fate attached to them. 

His action doesn't necessarily mean that he was willing to reveal to others his unique capability. After all, he could always just say that he has done his own investigation. This would certainly sound reasonable since it is not strange for a member of the alliance to fight against the Naughty Elves organization to investigate about their enemy.

By using such an excuse, no one would suspect a thing about his unique capability, thus his secrets would have fewer chances of being discovered by anyone else.

"What do you exactly mean, Guild Leader Loki?" Luke asked curiously.

Observing Loki's action, Orcborg quickly assumed, "It seems like you have a solution to fix our problem?"

Both Selina and Bagley remained silent and just choose to watch Loki. 

While constantly switching from one team to another, Leo asked, "Is there any limit to how many members of the Naughty Elves organization we should be eliminating in this round of a game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition?"

"The more the better, because once they escaped from this net, it will be extremely difficult for us to have another perfect opportunity to eliminate them," Luke replied. 

"Okay," Leo nodded his head before standing up from his seat and moving around the table. He was already done checking all the hundred or so of teams participating in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition and had discovered all the secret members of the Naughty Elves organization.

Every now and then, Leo would stop walking and tap one of the red dots to switch the light screens in front of everyone to a specific team. 

He continued doing this for more than five minutes before eventually stopping. 

Since he was done, Leo then went back to his seat and sat down before informing everyone. "Aside from those people in the documents that Luke had handed to us, these are the rest of teams that have members of the Naughty Elves organization,"

Leo pointed at one of the light screens and asked, "In that team, there is only a single person who is a member of the Naughty Elves organization, while the other two are purely innocent. In such a situation, do we really have to eliminate everyone?"

Selina wanted to say something, but before she could even say a single word, Elmont suddenly interrupted through the communicators as he said, "Base on what father had instructed before, we should not have any mercy on anyone,"

"As long as they have a member of the Naughty Elves organization in their team, then everyone along with that person should die. This is the price that they should pay for their ignorance and carelessness,"

"Moreover, we shouldn't just overlook the possibility, even if it is only considered to be small, that these people might have been bribed by the Naughty Elves organization to allow their men to be part of their team,"

"If that really turns out to be the case, then killing all of their men can also be regarded as us sending a message to warn them that if they really choose to do this for a second time, then we will not only be killing the members of their team, but we will also be killing all of them,"

"There's also a huge possibility that we could discourage them from doing anything similar to this in the future Emerald Elven Battle Competition, thus preventing more and more members of the Naughty Elves organization from secretly participating through such a method," Elmont finally finished explaining. But he also didn't forget to add, "Of course, if other teams attacked us, then we will also kill all of them, regardless of the fact that they are likely innocent. Otherwise, our secret operation would easily be discovered by the Naughty Elves organization,"

Honestly, Leo had long already expected Elmont's response. Even Orcborg and the others also thought the same. They were mainly asking as a means to confirm the information, or at least to confirm if there were no changes to the plan at all. In other words, this was considered as an assurance for everyone.

"Okay, then let's inform everyone about the plan and wait until the Seekers are finally released," Luke said before nodding his head to everyone. 

In the next moment, Leo and the others quickly informed their respective teams about the plan. 

.....

After nearly an hour of waiting and preparing, the Seekers were finally released all over the map of the miniature replica of the Mountain Wall range. 

All the Seekers were dispatched in a group of three people each, and there were a total of ten groups. 

These Seekers also have communicators similar to Leo and the others with them, the only difference is, their channels are only connected with Elmont, Tifa, and Tila. This was because not all of them were clearly aware of this secret operation of helping their allies. As for those who are aware, they are the loyal and trustworthy soldiers specifically dispatched to kill the Seekers who actually turn out to be members of the Naughty Elves organization. 

Before finally moving, Leo and the others informed their respective teams about the current arrangements of the map of the miniature replica of the Mountain Wall range first. 

As of this moment, the north of the miniature replica of the Mountain Wall range is now the territory of the strongest alliance in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, specifically, the alliance made up of the top 1 to the top 10. 

The south is the territory of the alliance made up of the participants from the top 11 to top 20. 

The west is the territory of the alliance made up of the participants from the top 21 to top 30. 

The east is the territory of the alliance made up of the participants from the top 31 to top 40. 

Last but not the least, the remaining other unoccupied locations were shared randomly amongst the remaining six alliances made up of participants from the top 41 to the top 100. 

The reason why they are gathered together on a specific location is so that they can cooperate with one another when fighting against the Seekers. They could also guard each other's back much easier against the other alliances in case their Hiders would come to attack them.

Aside from them, there were also other few people that could be counted using one hand that didn't bother to follow such agreed arrangements from the ten alliances. Including the Mischievous Lion Guild, Red Fist Guild, and Battle Maniac team, the others were those participants that were granted to qualify to participate in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition by the Evergreen royal family through secret dealings, such as exchanging Galaxy-level Magical Beasts.

These people thought weren't really someone that their alliance should pay that much attention to because aside from they don't have any secret members of the Naughty Elves organization amongst their team, there's also no black-colored String of Fate attached to them, and it also seems like they mainly care about their own interest, specifically to qualify for the fifth game. 

Although they have indeed caused some of those participants that were eliminated earlier in the game, their alliance still doesn't have that much of a problem when it comes to dealing against them since there are only three people on their respective teams, while there are a total of nine on their side. In addition to that, Veronica and the others are also people that shouldn't be underestimated as they aren't any weaker than them. If a fight really breaks out against them, then it is much better for the former to just retreat, or else they would be eliminated in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. 

Those people are probably more than aware of that, so there's no doubt that they will not be careless when they encounter their alliance.

After informing everyone about that, it was now time to begin the hunt on the members of the Naughty Elves organization!

"Our first target would be the team nearest to your location, the northwest, which is the alliance made up of the participants from the top 81 to top 90. As long as all of you aren't careless, then it should just be a piece of cake to eliminate all of them," Elmont informed Veronica and the others. He also added, "I'm sending two Seeker groups to indirectly assist you. But don't forget that they aren't necessarily there to help you, so better remain cautious and watch out against them. And lastly, good luck to all of you!"

"Okay!" Veronica, Vannessa, and Jessica responded. 

"Roger that!" Oman, Ofin, and Olok nodded their heads. 

"Affirmative, Seventh Prince Elmont, sir!" Egot, Elreen, and Erika acknowledged. 

After expressing their understanding of Elmont's order, Veronica and everyone quickly made their way towards the northwest.
