Edgar Pierce also didn't forget to remind the four players, "By the way, I hope that all of you won't take a lot of time to decide your choice. If ever they come first before any of you give me an answer, then we'll have no other choice but to act as we deemed fit for the situation,"

Hearing the reminder of Edgar Pierce, the four players quickly came to a decision. 

"We choose to fight, as none of us are cowards here!"

"How dare they try to steal the fruits of our hard labor!"

"We'll show to them just how wrong their decision was!"

"Exactly! The moment I see their faces, I'll be the first one to bash them with my battle-axe! Mark my word!"

"It's truly great to see that the people living in the great nation of the Emerald Tree Kingdom aren't a bunch of cowards," Edgar Pierce commended, though inside of his mind right now, he is secretly calling these four players as idiots and fools. 

In Edgar Pierce's opinion, if he was in their shoes right now, then he'd definitely choose to fight against the groups of Vine-arm Chimpanzees instead. The main reason for that choice is that the enemies of these four players aren't only those other unknown players currently hiding in the dark, but also them. 

If ever the enemies they'd have to face are troublesome to handle, in that case, it is much better to eliminate these weak and vulnerable four players, rather than to waste their energy and stamina fighting a battle which they can just choose to settle in the fifth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition. 

"Then let's prepare ourselves," Edgar Pierce informed everyone to be ready for the appearance of those other unknown players. All of them could already guess that those players would come here any moment from now so as to bring the Survival Games to its eventful end. And truthfully speaking, they actually have a suspicion as to who exactly these players are. 

Well, it isn't really that difficult to guess who they are, as they are the only players whom they can expect and believe in having such capabilities to achieve this kind of result, especially with the presence of that certain Guild Leader...

Just like what everyone was expecting, after ten minutes or so had passed, the other unknown players finally arrived and revealed themselves to everyone present in the scene. To be more precise, there were three players that appeared out from the shadows.

With their appearance, the four players immediately express their surprise, shock, and disbelief. 

"You... your Highness, Elmont!"

"Eh? Is that Osborne? That genius trained by the Red Fist Guild? But I thought that he was already eliminated!"

"The... the... the... Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild... Guild Leader Loki?!"

"Why the heck did it turn out to be them?!"

Evidently, the appearance of Leo and the others was more than enough to send the four players into despair. 

What else could be the reason aside from the fact that these three players are well-known to be not only strong but also really capable? 

In addition to that, they have already seen with their very own eyes just how the teams of these three people have dominated the entire Emerald Elven Battle Competition from the first game until the third game, eliminating more than half of the total one hundred participants. 

And if that is not yet enough to make them feel despair, then there is also the information about these three; 

Firstly, Osborne, a genius Orc trained by the Red Fist Guild. He was handpicked personally by Guild Leader Orcborg himself to participate in the Emerald Elven Battle Competition and lead the team from the Red Fist Guild. 

Secondly, his Highness, Elmont. Anyone who lives in the Emerald Tree Kingdom and has visited the arenas in any city of the territory, even on rare occasions, would have definitely heard by now how people always call him the Battle Fanatic. This name was bestowed to him because he always fought in the battle arena across the Emerald Tree Kingdom and challenged any strong people he could find. It even came to the point in time that he treated the arena as his second home and didn't bother returning to the castle of the Evergreen royal family. As long as a person has the slightest level of common sense, he'd absolutely know that his Highness, Elmont, is not a person to easily mess with. 

Last but certainly not the least amongst the three, Guild Leader Loki. There is not that much information about the Guild Leader of the Mischievous Lion Guild, other than he is a capable young man with four people who has the cultivation of 9-Star level and a Galaxy-level Mage under his command. In other words, he is a mysterious man with an unknown origin. Though there is one thing for certain without even needing for anyone to say, he's undoubtedly strong, intelligent, and a capable person. 

"My, my, what a surprise! I really didn't expect that it would turn out to be you guys," Edgar Pierce said with a sarcastic tone in his voice. Needless to say, he was insulting them for being cowards as they chose to hide their selves despite having such great capabilities.

"As always, your words say the otherwise of what you truly want to express, Edgar Pierce," Elmont said before quickly arriving in front of the four players. Completely disregarding the panic within the four players' eyes, he explained, "Though I don't have any reason to say in order for the four of you to trust me. But I recommend that all of you should go behind us, or else this place would turn to be the place where all of you, or at least three of you, will die,"

"To better explain the words of his Highness, Elmont; Edgar Pierce would kill three of you in order to save him from the trouble of fighting the three of us," Osborne clarified. 

"Don't worry, unlike them, our main intention is very open to the point that you can literally see it through our eyes or our actions. To be more precise, all we want to do is to eliminate three players out of the six of them for the purpose of reducing the difficulty of the fifth game of the Emerald Elven Battle Competition, thus being able to easily become the champion," Leo added.
