This encirclement and suppression operation,Under everyone's hard fighting,,It's still a successful completion.,The living force of the smiling coffin has been greatly contained.,Almost all the elite members were wiped out.,Only its president and the people around him are nowhere to be found.,But the smiling coffin was almost removed from SAO.,There's no longer this power to make waves.,The strategy team also released the players they were imprisoned.。 Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, although the equipment of the members of the strategy team has a very big advantage, there are still 6 deaths, because the sneak attackers of the smiling coffin have mostly changed to assassin-type professions in pursuit of the power of killing, with less blood and high damage, plus the equipment on the body has increased agility and strength to the highest because it is a desperate fight, completely ignoring defense.

There are also some people who completely lose their minds and are unmoved when persuaded to surrender, directly killing the player in front of them, which is the cause of most deaths.

The operation ended with more than thirty players in the smiling coffin and fourteen killed, three of which I did on my own.

"I feel ten years old in an instant, brother!" said Celica took a white cloth-wrapped bento from her backpack and handed it to me.

"It's... What do you mean?" There are some doubts.

"That's what it looks like!" Silica handed me the bento, then took one out of her own and began to eat it.

After this war, my physical strength was exhausted, and I ate:

"Is this what you did?"

"Yes, but because of my lack of cooking skills, it may not taste as good, and the effect is not as good as that of Asuna and Yuki, but I will work on my cooking skills!" Cilica nodded.

"Chirp!" said Bina, sleepy-eyed as she poked out of Celica's hair.

"Yes, hello Bina, Silika, thank you!" he touched Silica's head and thanked him.

"Don't be so outward, you're my brother. Sirika looked at me dissatisfied.

Asuna watched the interaction between her brother and sister from a distance with some envy, looked down at her feet, and then shook her head, pushing out the superfluous thoughts that had just popped into her head.

This is the end of the matter of the smiling coffin, and the players continue to work on the remaining twenty-six floors, perhaps the future is still bumpy, but I believe that with the efforts of the strategy team and all players, the game's clearance is just around the corner.

..................................................... Dividing line ......................................................

"The reconnaissance team is all wiped out—?"

After returning to the headquarters of the Blood Alliance Knights after two days, what awaited Asuna and me was a shocking notification.

I'm currently on the upper level of the steel tower at the guild headquarters, in the glass-walled conference room that Asuna and Heathcliff used to meet. In the center of the large semicircular table was the figure of Heathcliff in a sage-like robe, and although the guild officials sat on the left and right sides, this time there was no such person as Kratir.

Heathcliff closed his bony hands in front of his face, a deep valley carved between his eyebrows, and nodded slowly.

"It was yesterday. Although it took a lot of time to collect the map files of the 75th layer of the labyrinth area, it was finally completed without the appearance of victims. However, it was already expected that there would be a tough battle against the boss......"

Of course, I didn't think this would happen. Because among the countless floors that have been conquered so far, only the boss monsters on the twenty-fifth and fiftieth floors have outstanding huge bodies and powerful combat power, so they have paid a lot of sacrifices when attacking these two floors.

The 25th layer of the two-headed giant-type leader has almost wiped out the elite of the army, and this is the main reason why their organization is now weakened. Then, on the fiftieth floor, the multi-armed boss who looked like a metal Buddha statue launched a fierce attack, which made many players timid, so they urgently moved away from the battlefield without authorization, causing the battle line to collapse for a while, and if the rescue force came a little later, the raider team may not escape the fate of total destruction. And at that time, the one who independently supported the front was the man who was now in front of everyone.

If a powerful boss appears every twenty-fifth floor, then the possibility of a strong boss appearing on the seventy-fifth floor should also be quite high this time.

“…… So we sent out a team of five guilds with a total of twenty people. ”

Heathcliff continued in a voice that lacked intonation. Since his eyes were half-closed, it was impossible to tell his current mood from his brass-colored pupils.

"The investigation was carried out with great caution. We sent ten men as guards to stand by at the entrance to the boss's room...... The first ten people to enter reached the center of the room, and the door to the entrance closed the moment the leader appeared. The next thing was reported by the 10 people who played as defenders. They said that the door was closed for more than five minutes, and at that time, there was no way to make the door open, whether it was a lock-picking skill or a direct blow. When the door finally opens—"

The corners of Heatscliffe's mouth pursed tightly. After closing his eyes for a moment, he continued:

"There was nothing left in the room. The figures of the ten men and the leader all disappeared. There were also no traces of detachment at the scene. And they didn't come back...... In order to confirm, we also sent someone to the Black Iron Palace on the ground floor to confirm the death list on the metal tablet, and the result was ......"

He didn't continue, just shook his head from side to side. Asuna next to me first held her breath, and then immediately whispered a sentence out of her mouth:

"Ten...... Individuals ...... How can this be ......?"

"Is it ...... crystal nullification space?" I guessed, but I didn't know if Akihiko Kayaba was in the way, and I thought to myself, and I looked at Heathcliff.

"That's the only possibility. According to Asuna's report, the same seems to be true on the seventy-fourth floor, so I think it will probably be the case for all boss rooms in the future. Heathcliff shrugged his shoulders, not paying any attention to my inquiring eyes

"How could it be ......" Asuna said with a little fear as she took two steps back and collapsed on the soft couch.

I couldn't help but sigh. If you can't get out of the accident urgently, the number of people who die due to unexpected accidents will increase dramatically. "No victims" is the biggest premise when playing this game. But if you don't defeat the boss, you won't be able to completely attack the game......

"It's starting to look more and more like a game of death......"

"But you can't give up on the strategy ......"

Heathcliff closed his eyes and said in a voice that sounded like a murmur but was categorical:

"Aside from the fact that there is no way to get out with crystals, this room seems to be structurally constructed as a leader who will cut off the retreat from the back at the same time. In this case, the only way left to be sent to attack the largest number of troops in the area of command is favorable. I'm sorry to ask you and your buddies to help!"

I shrugged my shoulders and replied:

"Let's help. However, I will give top priority to the safety of my teammates. If I encounter a dangerous situation, I will choose to protect my own people first rather than the whole team. ”

A slight smile appeared on Heathcliff's face.

At my words, a slight smile appeared on Heathcliff's face.

"When a person has someone they want to protect, they always have a lot of power. I'm looking forward to your combat prowess. We'll start the walkthrough in three hours. The number of participants plus your team members is thirty-two. I'll give you three days to recuperate, and three days later at 1 p.m. in front of the transfer gate of Corinia City on the 75th floor. Well, dissolve. ”

After saying these words, the cardinal and the men under him stood up and walked out of the room.
