"Emir, I see that your skills are more outstanding than I expected. That's why I'm switching you to another group. I'm sure you will demonstrate greater performance alongside them."
'- I can't let him escape from my sight.'
'Hey, I read your look.'
After the conversation with Leandro, Fabio approached us to make known what was agreed... Or rather, to reiterate. The 10-member fights will be an unbreakable rule regardless of location. In this way, they will avoid what has happened before.
"Everyone must leave immediately for the obstacle space without any delay....... Wait, Emir..."
I was walking with the others when Fabio stopped me, and the previous conversation came up.
From the group of rookies, I was changed to an experienced one. But not the strongest group of all, but rather those who are at the center of the power pyramid. And, by their looks, they seem to be the most loyal members of Fabio.
In other words, they won't let me move freely.
"Just follow my instructions, and we'll be the group with the most victories."
"Yes, captain!"
Somehow, I managed to catch up and chant the phrase along with the others.
Before we moved away from Fabio, I put a personalized marker on his blue dot with his name on it. That way, I'll know where he is...
'Just in case.'

We walked for about 15 minutes, and then we arrived at our destination.
The space with obstacles is just as they described it. It has big trees and rocks, plus different types of vegetation that prevent many people from traveling simultaneously. And I can't help but think it's a beautiful place.
The shade of the trees covers large spaces, and the vegetation may seem extensive at some moments, but less than a minute later it disappears.
"Emir, do you know how many guild wars have taken place in the last few days?"
"No, captain. To be honest, I know very little about the wars between guilds."
The recon group is a place where there are only lone wolves. So far, all the exploration I've done in enemy territory has been solo. Up-to-date information? Dream on! I don't even have a partner to talk to, let alone someone to get information from.
With a smile on his face, he explained, "So far, 15 guilds have battled, and only one of those wars allowed assassination."
"Why? That would reduce their numbers."
"They were forced to do so. The opposing guild had members targeted by both kingdoms. The middle and small guilds are under the orders of the adventurer’s guild and, as such, under the orders of the king. Disobeying the adventurer's guild is no different from disobeying the king."
That reminds me of the emergency mission on which Alessia fell into slavery. After the failure of this one, the Solus Temple punished those involved severely. If the king is above the Solus Temple, then the latter is above all others in the pyramid of power.
This gave the Solus Temple the privilege to punish under its own rules.
"But that's too unfair. No one would want to form a guild if tomorrow the King or the Temple could be enraged and take it out on the guild's members."
"Will we fight them? Will it be a surprise attack or will we go head-on?" I whispered with my chest heaving, indicating that I was ready to go to war at any time.
"Are you crazy?!" He said angrily, "Just look at them! Don't you recognize them?"
"No, captain."
"Of course, you don't remember them... That's the most experienced group in the Red Flag guild. They didn't even look at you when you arrogantly stood in front of their guild looking for a fight."
'Most experienced?'
With the captain's words, I looked over their heads to see their status.
Emir: "!!!"
It was my surprise when I realized that their classes are split between Knight Swordsman and Great Adventurer. Not only that, but their levels are between levels 20 and 30. What does this mean? I just need to remember that Fabio is Knight Lvl 31 to understand the magnitude of the matter.
'Practically, their levels are on par with a guild master!'
"Let's go. If we don't draw too much attention, we can avoid them. They won't bother to fight us once they realize our strength."
With such words, the captain walked the long way around in order to avoid them.
*Crack*
'- Huh? Why was the sound of that wood heard so close to here? Could it be that this Emir guy went to pick a fight with them? N- Nah, even that man wouldn't be that stupid-... ... ... ... ... Holy Solus!'
"Emir! Come back here!"
I was walking in the direction of the enemy group when I heard the captain's shout, which made the enemies notice us.
"Enemies?" Said a Lvl 25 Knight.
"... No. They are just rookies before my eyes. Let them be," said a Lvl 30 Swordsman.
"Now that you mention it, you're right. There's no need to even bother" Said a Great Adventurer Lvl 28.
The enemy group just casually glanced at us and then continued with their camping preparations as if nothing had happened.
"Come on, Emir, we should be thankful they weren't interested in us."
"But Captain, it's the enemy of the Golden Lion Guild! We can't allow them to continue living! They will cause lethal damage to our guild if they remain alive!"
'- You can't say 'our' guild! You don't even belong to the guild, dammit!'
With my words, the captain looked noticeably enraged and then looked at his teammates.
"Hold him. We'll take him by force!"
"Huh?! No! What are you doing?!"
Without mediating the matter, they quickly came up to me and held me down, forcibly dragging me along with them.
"Let me go! I must prove my loyalty!!!"
