Teng Xiong offered his analysis, "Even though the Jutrelians have the largest number of people present, there's an even greater number who harbor discontent towards them. If we band together and form a united front, the Jutrelians will be inconsequential."
The thought of eliminating all the Jutrelians present and diminishing their power immediately enticed Pami.
"You're absolutely right. Our nations, Zefraoce and Plioya, can join forces. I can sway some countries in South Asia, while you can influence several in East Asia. Together, our combined strength can eclipse that of Jutrela," Pami said with palpable excitement.
Plioya wielded a measure of influence over other East Asian nations. Even though countries like Ushos and Setheyso often clashed with Plioya, they were accustomed to uniting against a common adversary like Jutrela.
"However, our combined forces still aren't sufficient to decisively defeat the Jutrelians. We must enlist Amirek's support!" Teng Xiong schemed further.
"Indeed, Amirek's participation is essential," Pami concurred with Teng Xiong's strategy.
So, Pami and Teng Xiong approached the Amirek leader, Qiao Xi, who was also at the event.
Qiao Xi, a level 27 with a fighting capacity of 28,000, was second only to Pami in strength.
But as a distinguished Amirek, a Magi among Magi, Qiao Xi carried an air of superiority that made him somewhat aloof.
Once they shared their plan to unite against the Jutrelians, Qiao Xi instantly endorsed their strategy.
"You've hit the nail on the head. A primitive country like Jutrela deserves to be ground into the dust. Their audacity is simply unbearable," Qiao Xi declared decisively. "Together, we'll wait for the opportune moment to annihilate Jutrela's trial challengers."
Thus, the tripartite alliance of Pami, Teng Xiong, and Qiao Xi was formed. Their coalition grew like a rolling snowball, garnering the support of nearly everyone outside of Jutrela.
Their actions were hardly a secret. Once united, the group of over eight hundred faced off against the Jutrelians, numbering just over a hundred. The Jutrelians were no fools; they were well aware of the opposing group's intentions.
Outnumbered and outmatched in strength, and unable to abandon their professional missions, the smaller group had no choice but to band together even tighter.
The members of the Anti Jutrela Alliance, numbering more than eight hundred, had been itching to take action for quite some time. However, with trial challengers still arriving, they hesitated. A premature confrontation could turn disastrous should legendary Jutrelian experts arrive on the scene.
They decided to wait until all challengers had gathered and it was confirmed that no legendary experts from Jutrela were present. Then, and only then, would it be safe to strike.
Despite their arrogance, the three leaders of the Anti Jutrela Alliance exercised extreme caution in their actions.
"So it's like that, Brother Wang. It looks like we're at a serious disadvantage," Chen Guo remarked.
"You're telling me," Wang Mingze sighed. "Let's just hope they keep their cool and don't attack us. Otherwise, we'll have no choice but to flee."
"What about our professional mission?" Chen Guo inquired.
"When it comes down to it, our lives are far more important than any mission," Wang Mingze replied.
"Right..." Chen Guo conceded. "That makes sense."
Assuming the identity of Lee Xiaoyao, Chen Guo seamlessly integrated into the Jutrelian ranks, though this offered no apparent advantage to the Jutrelians.
The Jutrelian contingent was small, with few trial challengers among their numbers, while a multitude of challengers from other nations continued to arrive.
These new arrivals swiftly aligned themselves with the Anti Jutrela Alliance, further highlighting the vulnerability of the Jutrelian side.
Eventually, the influx of challengers ceased, and the numbers were set. The Anti Jutrela Alliance boasted a total of nine hundred and forty-three individuals from various countries, including A Maiqi, Zefraoce, and Plioya.
The Jutrelians, on the other hand, had a mere one hundred and seventy-four people.
This meant that in the event of a melee, each Jutrelian would effectively be battling against nine opponents—a fight they were bound to lose.
Expressions soured all around.
"Jutrelians, you're nothing but trash, unworthy of professional missions! Lately, you've been strutting around, too arrogant by half. Do you even consider our A Maiqi a threat?" Qiao Xi closed in on the Jutrelians, backed by a throng of supporters. "It's time we put you in your place!"
Teng Xiong bellowed, "You resorted to deceit and treachery, targeting our Plioya's esteemed Shan Brothers. You will pay for this!"
"We in Zefraoce have had enough of you. Your actions have sparked a collective fury, and now, nations are united against you!" Pami declared. "However, if you grovel and give me three resounding kowtows, I might just spare your lives, haha!"
With the leaders' words hanging in the air, the Anti Jutrela Alliance erupted in laughter.
"Hahaha, let the Jutrelians boast on the leaderboards for a while. They think they're close to ruling it, but now they won't even muster a tear!"
"How dare a backward nation like yours presume to rise above our Mighty Yin Empire? You will pay a steep price!"
"Enough chit-chat. Let's wipe them out! I've had it with these Jutrelians!"
The morale of the Anti Jutrela Alliance soared. Despite their internal discord, their numerical superiority gave them a psychological edge.
Wang Mingze assessed the opposing numbers and clenched his jaw. "Don't get cocky. We Jutrelians won't bow down. If you insist on violence, be prepared for casualties. We're all here on professional missions; there's no real clash of interests. Targeting us like this is far from smart."
"It's simple—I can't stand the sight of Jutrelians, and that's why you must be eliminated!" Qiao Xi commanded. "Brothers, encircle these Jutrelians. I intend to take my time making them suffer!"
