"It's [the army]. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info," Clyde said.

All are swordsmen by profession. Wears the same bronze metal armor and dark green combat uniform. The equipment is all quite practical, but the large shield held by the six people in front of them has a fairly obvious castle motif carved into it.

The weapon of the avant-garde six is a one-handed sword. The six guards were armed with huge axes and guns. Because everyone pressed the edge of their helmets quite low, there was no way to see their expressions. Looking at them in such a uniform way, it felt as if these twelve people were all the same kind of NPC controlled by the system.

Seeing this, it can already be determined that they are members of the super huge guild [army] based on the bottom floor.

To the average player, they are definitely not a hostile existence. It can even be said that they are the most enthusiastic groups in promoting the prevention of criminal acts.

However, their methods are too extreme, as soon as they find a player with the symbol of the offender - because of the color of the arrow, it is also commonly known as the "orange player" - immediately launch an indiscriminate attack, disarm those who surrender, and send them to the prison area of the Black Iron Palace, where they are imprisoned.

As for the treatment of those who do not surrender and fail to escape, all kinds of horror rumors have long been spread in the streets and alleys.

In addition, because they often move in large teams and occupy the practice area for a long time, there is a consensus among the general player that "don't approach [the army] easily". Originally, this group of people was mainly in the low-level areas below the 50th floor, carrying out the work of maintaining law and order and expanding the territory, and they were rarely seen at the front line. But now—

As the three of them watched with bated breath, the twelve heavily armed warriors made a metallic sound of their armor rubbing against each other, and the footsteps of their heavy boots strode across the path below the three of them, and finally disappeared into the dense forest.

The thousands of players who are now imprisoned in SAO are probably super gamers who bought the game on the day of release. And these game maniacs should be the group that has the least to do with the term [discipline].

It's been two years, but it's remarkable that they're able to move so consistently. They should be the most elite troops in the army.

After confirming on the map that they were out of range, Kirito and Asuna remained in a crouching position, greatly relieved, while Clyde slowly stood up, looking in the direction of the men and wondering what they were thinking.

“…… It seems that the rumor is true......"

"Rumors?" Kirito was stunned when he heard this.

"Hmm. I heard it at the guild's regular meeting, and I heard that the [army] had changed its policy and was preparing to move to the upper areas. Originally, they were also guilds with the goal of complete raids, but they suffered a lot of damage when they raided the twenty-fifth layer, so they changed their policy from a strategy game to strengthening the organization, and they did not come back to the front line. As a result, I heard that there have been voices of dissatisfaction within the country recently. Therefore, the policy has changed again, and it is said that their current idea is that instead of sending many people into the labyrinth like last time, which will lead to chaos, it is better to send a small number of elite troops and rely on the results they have obtained to show the guild's will to completely attack the game. Reports at the time also said that their first troops should have been on the verge of appearing. ”

"Do you rely on practical actions to promote your guild? But doesn't it really matter if you're on a level like this that you haven't been to yet......?

"Maybe...... I'm just going to attack the boss......"

In the labyrinth area of each floor, there will definitely be boss monsters guarding the stairs that connect to the upper floors. Although there is only one such boss-level monster, because it has very terrifying strength, defeating it can indeed cause a lot of discussion. This must be a very effective propaganda campaign.

"That's why so many people came...... But it's still too messy. No one has ever seen the boss of the seventy-fourth floor. Usually, after constant reconnaissance and confirmation of the boss's combat power and tendencies, a huge team will be recruited to attack the strategy, right? ”

"It's only when you're doing boss strategies that you need to help each other with each other. Those people don't know if they mean it......"

"It's hard to say...... But those guys should also know that they can't just challenge the boss. Let's hurry up and go. I hope I don't run into them in there......"

———————————————— dividing lines————————————————

Everyone has recognized the Blood Alliance Knights as the strongest guild for more than a year.

From that time on, it was needless to say that the head of the knights, known as the [Legendary Man], and even the skills of the deputy head Asuna's top swordsman were known to everyone, and the alias of [Flash] could be said to be known to everyone among Aingrant.

Now I finally have this opportunity, and I can see Asuna, who is of a higher level and has completed the skill of the Rapier Skill, at close range, when fighting against ordinary monsters.

The three of them are now located near the top of the labyrinth area on the seventy-fourth floor, with columns on the left and right sides of the middle of the corridor.

The three of them are currently fighting, and the enemy is a skeleton swordsman named [Demon Servant]. Measuring more than two meters in size, he holds a long straight sword in his right hand and a round metal shield in his left hand. Although it doesn't have any muscles on its body, its tendon value is extraordinary, and it can be said to be quite a tricky monster. However, even in the face of such a strong enemy, Asuna still did not back down.

purr purr··········

With a strange roar, the sword in the skeleton's hand pulled out a blue afterglow and swung it down from above. This is a four-in-a-row [Vertical Quad Slash]. Kirito watched the situation uneasily a few steps behind, only to see Asuna stepping on a gorgeous step from left to right, completely dodging all the opponent's attacks.

Even if it's a three-on-one situation now, as long as you encounter an enemy with a weapon equipped, you can't attack two people at the same time. It's not that the system doesn't allow it, but under the shadow of the high-speed sword light invisible to the naked eye, the biggest disadvantage of two people attacking at the same time is that it will hinder each other's sword skills, let alone three people.

Therefore, when fighting in a team, you have to use the skill of [Switch], which requires a high degree of cooperation.

The Demon Servant lost his balance slightly after the final slash of the four-hit combo was dodged. Asuna took advantage of this opportunity to immediately launch a counterattack.

A thin sword that glows with silver light, piercing the enemy's body from the midsection. Each attack she unleashes hits the enemy, and the skeleton's HP decreases. Although the power of one hit is not very large, the number of attacks can be said to be too large to calculate.

After three mid-thrusts in a row, it transforms into repeated slashes on the lower body of the enemy who is preparing for defense, and then the tip of the sword that is slanted upwards emits a pure white effect light, and performs two powerful thrust attacks on the enemy.

She actually used eight consecutive attack sword skills!

"Kirito, get ready to switch!"

"Okay!"
