"Think about it. There is sothing wrong with that situation", Big Three stated.
The others thought for a second before frowns started to appear on their faces. Seeing their faces, Big Three could guess that the others too felt that sothing was wrong with the events that transpired.
How could the supre who was at the peak of Rank-9 fall to a bunch of low-ranking professionals?
There were not enough mbers in the first place to threaten him. The formation, which may have boosted their enemies and reduced the Supre’s power, still, he played with them.
So, why did he suddenly fall?
There could be only a few reasons behind the capture.
"Wait, don’t tell that...." one of them was speaking when the other completed the sentence, "that there was so secret behind the capture, sothing that can damage us".
"Yes, and we all know what that secret is, though we don’t exactly know what the secret is", Big Three said.
The others quickly sullened when they heard that.
"I don’t believe that the supre would..."
"You don’t believe what? Did you forget that’s exactly what we do to our subordinates? We sacrifice anything for our goals", Big Three countered them all.
Though they don’t want to believe it to be true, a doubt was planted in their minds and no matter what, it can’t be removed.
"I understand what you are saying, but there could be another reason behind his capture. He simply wants to infiltrate the alliance, and what’s the best way to do so? Getting captured and maybe get all the alliance leaders together so that he can eliminate them once and for all", Big One tried his best to cover for the supre, though even he started to have so doubts.
"It matters not. Whatever purpose he had in getting caught, it may most likely doesn’t bode well for us. He is a high-value target, and they would keep him alive as long as he feeds them information, and whatever he was seeking, he would bury us without a thought", Big Three stated.
"We need to prepare for what’s to co", Big Three said, but no one said anything against those words.
Bit by bit, they started to believe that the Supre got caught on purpose.
As soone who was at the beginning of the Cult, they knew that the supre wanted to achieve sothing. Everyone in the cult wanted to gain strength, or so are maniacs who love to kill, but what Supre wanted was a secret.
Not even the five knew what it was, but they knew that the cult was created for sothing, and they believed that the supre had finally made his move to gain what he wanted.
If that was true, as Big Three said, it won’t end well for them.
"So, what do you want us to do?" Big One asked.
"We need to prepare for everything. First, we need to transfer every important asset we have from where they are now. We can’t lose such assets as they might help us to re-establish ourselves", Big Three responded.
One by one, they moved, trying to save whatever they can before it was too late.

City of Valora...Alliance HQ...
The higher-ups of the alliance, headmasters of the academies and heads of various organisations that have allied with the Alliance, were all seated, having the montous conversation that they believed would change the course of the world.
"Haha, we have finally secured the leader of the cults, the supre is under our custody. It won’t be long before we could bring down the Cult, once and for all", one of the mbers scread in joy.
A few mbers joined as well, but not everyone is happy with the outco of the operation, especially those who sent their mbers for the exploration. They lost almost everyone that they sent.
Headmaster Viren stood up, silencing everyone,"We are celebrating that we got the Supre, and soon we may get the chance to break the cult for good, but you all seem to be forgetting sothing. First, we need to break the supre to get the information that we need to dismantle the cult".
"Second, even if Supre gives us the information, there is no guarantee that he would give us correct information regarding the cult. If we act on the information, we may suffer even more".
"Third, the Cult should have already been inford that the Supre was caught. They would change everything that they had before. New bases, new resource points. Everything would be changed, especially with the newly spawning dungeons and secret realms everywhere, due to the world going through an upgrade. So, before we can break the supre and get information, that could be old news".
"Fourth and final point, the most important, which needs imdiate attention. The cults could try to liberate their leader, which ans there would be even more attacks from now on. It would be a full-scale war, not like those battles we experienced in the last few months, but full-on full war", he laid everything bare on the table.
The entire council turned silent when they heard the headmaster’s words.
What he said was true.
Though they have won sothing, it ca at a great cost, and whatever can be achieved from this, that won’t co so easily. It would take a lot of ti and resources, more than that, sacrifices.
The cost would not be small.
"Also, rember that there are monsters. They would obliterate us if they sll weakness among us. So, before you celebrate for capturing the supre, think about what lies ahead. It is not so simple", Viren said.
"What Viren said is true. We may have gained a small victory, but that ca at a great cost. The supre was caught, but getting information from him, that could take ti and resources that we lack. Even if the Supre gives us information, by now, the cults should have started moving. It can beco old before we take action".
"Even with the information, there could be traps laid for us. The complete victory we have been waiting for could take a long ti and with a lot of sacrifices. So, let’s prepare for the battles ahead before we celebrate this small victory".
Once everyone had settled down, they started to make plans and backup plans for the near future, where they had to raid or face raids from cult mbers and the monsters.
They started to prepare every scenario that they might have to face in the near future and prepare the bases for those scenarios. If too many people die because they failed to predict sothing, the cracks present in the alliance would expand and that is not good for anyone.
