"The idea behind the summoning of the flesh golems had been the milestone to breaking the traditional idea of the presence of rock in a golem. The dark wizards came together and used the corpses they had gathered to create an abomination which would listen to their commands. However, once the dark wizards are long gone, came the reckoning of the master-less flesh golems before it was finally banished to the Abyss..."

- Book of Legends

"Flesh Golems, as compared to the Rotting Golems, are weaker in many sense. Flesh Golems are simply made of human flesh, magically strengthened to withstand strong attacks from its opponents. Once the seal that bind the pieces of flesh are broken, it self-destructs in a harmless fashion."

After much persuasion and pressure from several divisions and communities, the Republic Council has finally given us the nod to release the details of the secret message that was sent over to them allegedly from the Grandmaster of OZ).

Our guess were right, the previous text that we published earlier were just an fragment of the message. The Republic had apparently divided messages into parts so as to prevent thieves, such as those who got hold of the first part, from understanding the full message intended for the recipients.

The Republic have, of course, generously supplied us the entire message so as to give a full and detailed report on it. The full message is rather written in a haste and therefore, it is not very logical of us to show them here. As we can see from the first part already, the author used a lot of acronyms. As such, after interpreting the message, we believe that:

1. The Abyssia Army had reached Elemental Realm
2. Apparently, not everyone there supported the presence of the Abyssia Army
3. Plan to stir some commotion to create a divided state with two camps:
   1. Those who supported the rule of the Abyss
   2. Those who oppose the rule of the Abyss
      
4. The ulterior motive is to sought for allies in there and ultimately buy time for us to build up defences.

There, we have summarised one-lengthy-page message into a few points!

Hopefully, which is the Republic's and our's objective, this has helped in understanding what lies ahead for us.

People, the threat of war is real, do not be complacent.

7. Faint Pink

War efforts are under way for a few weeks now and many are starting to doubt the feasibility of war.

Then at this dark times, came a message from the Elemental Realm:

This is Grandmaster from OZ). Abyssia Army reached E.Gates, will try to buy time

The message is not very detailed and had caused some sort of commotion on its reliability. Nevertheless, this message was leaked out by the Voluntary Intelligence Branch which stole the message from its intended recipient.
Which means that we have actually no permission to publish this publicly but we were getting bored from the silent press, which were revealing nothing.
However, case in mind, there's another possibility, this could just be the first part of the message. Like I say, this is all guesswork but one thing's for sure, or so we hope, war is upon us.

The signs are clear, even without the latest retrieval of the secret message, tribes are gathering arms, sparking some sort of arms race. Whether it was out of fear of the Abyssia Army or the fear of being outgunned by other tribes, war will ignite sooner or later. The crisis now is about whether a war occur between the tribes or a united voice against the looming Abyssia Army.

ChangeLog:

• Change of Template Layout.
• Removed several redundant sections.

• Merged Sections
• "Best Viewed in" Image removed as it is no longer needed.

In-line with Combineset's 10th Birthday, we're changing our website's layout design(yes, like finally..)
Like Combineset, this website has changed much since its creation with this latest change, we're moving from the notebook theme to LightHouse Theme to SunRay Theme.
Together with the Combineset Expiry Board, the websites get a major makeover with better functions and hopefully faster loading times!

Of course, I will have to thank those who beta-test the layout beforehand, they helped in making this change a success! ^^

Lastly, I, on the behalf of Combineset.co, thank you all for the support for the past 10 years!!!
