Since the beginning of the Dominion Skirmish, aside from the major alliances involved, there had also been independent lords operating on their own. Other than Atlas, there were originally three Scout-Rank Lords and four Seeker-Rank Lords competing independently. It was quite impressive that four Seeker-Rank Lords, excluding Atlas, had decided to make it onto this island.
However, as the skirmish progressed, that composition had shifted dramatically. Three of the Seeker-Rank Lords had already retreated, while another had been eliminated by Alliance B.
As for the three Scout-Rank Lords, one had been completely defeated by Alliance A, leaving only two remaining. Interestingly, those two had now formed an alliance of their own.
Yet, based on Atlas's observations, they had taken a highly cautious approach, avoiding direct confrontation with anyone, and focusing solely on hunting monsters across the island.
For now, Atlas considered them a lesser concern.
