The weak teaming up, gathering their strength to topple the strong. That is a staple in stories, where the injustices are resolved by everyone putting in the effort to change the status quo.

That's right. After Clive and Christina's discussion, this sly woman contacted the other guild leaders in the top 10 to strike up an agreement. The contents of the agreement were nothing grand-.
"Pride? That's useless. If you don't want to join, then you can just do as you will. However, I am not willing to risk it. Should those scrubs do it, then why can't we?"
Christina's deliberation made it clear, she didn't want to fight hard battles unnecessarily. Best Guild? Strongest of the bunch? That's all well and good, but achieving that rank was never easy, and it much harder to maintain.
