In the grand competitions of the Alliance, the venue was never set within its subordinate cities.
Historically, these events unfolded near the realms of major powers, serving as a display of the Alliance's might.
It was a flexing of muscles before these elite forces, a silent warning against rebellion.
However, this year's agenda harbored a different purpose: to ensnare extraplanar beings in a strategic counter-encirclement.
The chosen battleground was an extensively explored set of Ruins, bearing unique constraints.
Once spatial fluctuations hit a certain threshold, these Ruins would seal off the area entirely.
Without such a safeguard, how could the Alliance dare to challenge multiple extraplanar species simultaneously with just their own forces?
The plan was to bait the extraplanar entities into opening a space channel.
As they attempted to besiege the human race, they would unwittingly trigger the Ruins' restrictions.
