"Now, let explain the courses." The man paused for a mont as the screen was projected on the wall behind him. "This is the forest and the location of the mine.
"Our objective is to clear out the entire forest and the mine. As the original owner of the mine, our country will get 20% of the mining rights. And the remaining 80% will be distributed according to the contribution of each country, including mine.
"All of you have received the starting location. You are free to do whatever you want after we begin. However, conflicts between two nations have to be solved as quietly as possible so as not to jeopardize this alliance.
"The starting ti will be 9 am tomorrow. If any country is found to intentionally start before this ti, they will forfeit their right to fight for the mining rights.
"Regarding the contributions, our country has given you the list of points, starting from Tier 0 beasts.
"We will combine all the points and distribute the remaining 80% accordingly.
"All countries can check the authenticity of other countries’ proof to ensure that the counting is correct.
"Any questions up to this point?" The man looked around.
Since no one was raising their hands yet, he continued, "All right. Let’s talk about the proof. We’ll be distributing the drones that will be used to capture the video of you killing the beasts. It will be stored within both our cloud as well as the device.
"Each country will be given 200 drones to spare, so you may proceed accordingly. However, no one will help you manage the drones, so you have to take care of them yourself.
"Any drones that are not from us will not be admissible to this hunt. I’m sure that you have checked the quality of the drones after coming here, so if you still have any problem with the quality, you may co to us for a replacent."
He paused again, asking if anyone had any questions. Everything had been briefly explained before this, so they were already aware of what he wanted to say.
The only thing that mattered to them was snatching the beasts from other countries.
Even though they had split them into eight, one area would definitely have more Tier 8 beasts than the others.
That was why people would definitely cross over other people’s areas to get more.
Ultimately, they would clash with the other countries. That was why this assembly was quite dangerous. Only the best could join.
They would also have to resolve the death quietly since there was already an agreent beforehand.
Nevertheless, Clovis had to move fast. He didn’t know what kind of effect other countries would bring, especially for the fight against the Prophet.
The man continued, "There are only two things that I want you to rember. The priority is to secure the mine, not to settle personal grudges. And you can always drop out of this hunting event at any ti you want. Once you do, our people will register you as leaving, aning you are not entitled to participate any more.
"The hunt will last for seven days. It will end next Monday at 9 am. Anything submitted after that won’t be counted.
"Once the hunt is done, you can return to this hotel. Of course, if you’d like another accommodation, our country is willing to accommodate your request.
"That’s all. I hope you have a good hunt."
Clovis squinted his eyes. There were indeed a few things that he needed to consider.
With enough power, people could force other countries to drop out of this hunt. On the other hand, pushing others into a corner might also lead to a bad outco for them.
After all, they might lose lives, which would also lower their ability to hunt more beasts.
Of course, the countries had been allying themselves with each other. Even Absalom had joined hands with another country. There was also a truce with one more country.
Still, if they wanted to win, even Raven would have to venture into another country’s territory.
Clovis already had a plan in mind, so he just had to see how the enemy was moving this ti.
...
After the announcent was over, the group started to leave one after another as they had no point in continuing the banquet.
This banquet had only two main purposes. The first one was to know their soon-to-be allies or enemies. The second one was to challenge them.
Although they could play dirty, it would cause a lot of problems for themselves.
So, the banquet managed to finish without any big ss. Even Clovis brought his team back as soon as they were done.
The next day, Clovis had grouped up with the rest of the people from his country.
"As you may already know, I’ll be moving ahead, both for your safety and mine. However, we will not neglect our contribution to this hunting event as well, so you don’t have to worry about it.
"However, I have to warn you about sothing. Other countries might not look at us fondly. Maybe it’s because of . Maybe it’s because of sothing else.
"So, I can only assure you of this one thing. Until the last mont, my team will continue making its contribution to the event.
"Also, don’t forget that we have an ally. I’m pretty sure that you, especially the military, have talked to them."
The generals nodded.
Clovis ended his speech with a bow. "Thank you for not saying anything regarding my selfishness in this hunting event. I hope that we are able to return without anyone missing. In case you need my help to challenge a Tier 8 beast, you know how to contact ."
The people’s expressions were quite serious. They knew having soone like Clovis would be like having a double-edged sword.
This was the risk that the governnt had accepted, so there was nothing to say.
Clovis then returned to his group while checking the clock. "Five more minutes. Is everyone ready?"
"Of course."
"This ti, our enemy is related to the Prophet. Spare no one."
