Just when the preparations for the combination of Yuna and Sirika and others were in full swing, the SAO No. 1 intelligence dealer Rat brought a piece of information to Makino.

The Ayn Grant Liberation Team was badly injured when they attacked the 25th floor and had to withdraw from the Raiders group.

This is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the Raiders team on the front line.

The number of raiders is not large, and the Aingrunte Liberation Team, although the members are not the most elite, is the largest in number.

It is precisely because of this that the Ayn Grant Liberation Team is also called the "army", which shows its influence.

Hearing this news, Makino's expression couldn't help but be a little complicated.

Because, the president of the Ayn Grant Liberation Team is...... Tooth King!

That's right, it's the same brother Zuan who roared on the first layer to get the closed beta players to hand over the money and items.

Looking at the performance of the tooth king before and after, you really can't judge people by their appearance.

Although the Tooth King is a "Zu'an brother", he is indeed a rare brave.

Even in the strategy group, he has always been at the forefront.

Even Makino can't deny the dedication and contribution of the Tooth King.

However, the Tooth King is also a person with great character flaws.

Competitive and rejoicing, this time the Ain Grant Liberation Team sacrificed so many people, which is absolutely inseparable from the greed and recklessness of the Tooth King.

Makino couldn't help but think of what happened in the original time and space, after the Aingrunte Liberation Team withdrew from the 25th floor.

After the Ayngrunt Liberation Force withdrew from the front lines, it merged with MMOTODAY, a mutual aid organization in the Town of Initiation, to form a new guild, the Ayngrunte Liberation Force (ALF).

MMOTODAY is an active strategy magazine for real-world online MMORPG games, and was founded when founder Sinka and his companions were trapped in SAO.

Xinka, on the other hand, is a representative of the Mutual Aid + Waiting for Rescue faction.

In SAO, the number of people is the largest, accounting for almost half of SAO, and its influence is very large.

After the formation of the Ayn Grant Liberation Force (ALF), Sinka remained as its president, while Tooth King served as its vice-president.

Based in the town of Start, ALF aims to maintain order and safety among mid-tier and lower-tier players.

The guild's original intentions were originally good, but it quickly turned sour.

In order to compete for power, the Tooth King even used the cloister crystal to lock the president Xinka in the underground labyrinth of the Black Iron Palace.

If it weren't for Kirito and Asuna to save him at the critical moment, Xinka would probably have fallen because of this.

But in the very short time that Sinka was trapped, the Tooth King quickly took control of the Ayngrunte Liberation Army.

Once in power, the Tooth King began to frantically oppress and exploit the low-level players in the Origin Town, and even imposed heavy taxes on ordinary players.

Of course, this move has also caused dissatisfaction among many ALF managers.

In order to eliminate dissidents, the Tooth King even sent the most elite troops of the ALF to the 74th floor to raid the boss.

And this move has caused the ALF elite to lose everything......

I have to say that the speed of the fall of the Tooth King is far beyond everyone's imagination.

The sinister nature of human nature is vividly displayed in the tooth king.

However, for the time being, none of this has anything to do with the current situation.

Makino can't kill the Tooth King just because he will sin in the future.

The most important thing now is to regain the confidence of the Raiders team...... It's time for a new round of boss battles!

25 floors, you must also get rid of them as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, the little confidence that has been built up with great difficulty will be shattered again.

......

24th floor of Ayn Grant.

Panareze.

Temporary Stronghold of the Wings of Liberty Guild.

Just when Makino returned to his base, the members of the Freedom Wings Guild had already gathered.

"President!"

"It's really good that the president is back!"

"With the president here, there is nothing to fear!"

"Well said!"

“......”

Seeing Makino's return, the members of the guild who were still a little depressed just now immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo said that it was someone else, and even Diabel couldn't help but have the same thought.

It seems that Makino's existence is like a needle that fixes the sea.

As long as you can see Makino, the fear in everyone's hearts will automatically disappear.

Diabel couldn't help but smile bitterly, if you really want to pay, he actually worries more than Makino.

In every strategy battle, he also collects intelligence with one hand and formulates a strategy plan with the other.

Fight the boss, and he also has full command.

In terms of prestige alone, he still has it.

However, Diabel was completely unable to give the guild members safety and confidence like Makino.

I have to say that Makino is special.

It seems that if he wants to seize power, he can't do it at all!

Mo said that it was Diabel, and even Kirito was a little envious, jealous and hateful.

Kirito is definitely one of the pillars of the Freedom Wings Guild.

In terms of swordsmanship, Kirito is one of the few existences that many members of the Wings of Freedom admire.

But.

In terms of prestige and influence, Kirito is really not as good as Makino.

Let's take Makino "on vacation" this time, among which Kirito also made a big effort.

Because, he also wants to give himself a vacation.

Although trapped in SAO, Kirito's mentality is actually very good.

Compared with the original book, in the world where Makino is there, Kirito is not isolated, let alone targeted, and even has a friend like Makino, so his personality is more cheerful.

But even with his cheerful and optimistic attitude, he can't withstand Makino's high-intensity strategy battle.

You can imagine the mentality of other guild members!

The most important thing for him to take this vacation is to relax.

I have to say that our Kirito master is lucky.

Although the wings of the butterfly are very powerful, many general trends are still on the original track, moving forward in an orderly manner.

When he got to the lower level, Kirito unsurprisingly got acquainted with a very interesting guild like the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night, and even saved Sirika's life.

Unlike in the original book, because of Makino's relationship, Kirito did not join the black cat group on a moonlit night.

The time spent in the black cat group on a moonlit night was far less than in the original book.

Therefore, the tragedy of the annihilation of the Black Cat Regiment did not happen.

During the time spent with the members of the Black Cat Group on a moonlit night, Kirito felt like he had entered a new world.

He had never imagined that the life of the players at the bottom would be like this.

I have never experienced the harmony and beauty of the black cat group that is almost like a family.

Kirito's heart feels like he's been baptized!

But.

What Kirito didn't expect was that Makino, who was on vacation, turned his face and made an idol group.

also swept away Yuna, Celica, and Yuki, these beautiful and cute female players.

O livestock!

Kirito's mentality has always been very good.

But this time, Makino's approach of catching them all still made Kirito a little annoyed.

Kirito even had some doubts that Makino was specifically targeting him and deliberately caught him digging the foot of the wall alone.

Although, Kirito is not in love with the two girls, Yuki and Silica.

However, after all, he is also an adolescent boy, and he is not an ascetic monk.

The cute girl player who was chatting with him very happily just now, was poached by Makino when he turned his face, and he worshiped Makino in a mess, who can stand this?

Especially Sirika, but it's very similar to her sister Naoba!

Sensing Kirito's resentful eyes like a deep resentful woman, Makino couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

In fact, when he proposed to invite Yuki and Sirika, he really didn't expect that Kirito would have a bond with them so quickly.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's start the 25th floor strategy meeting directly!"

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little weird, Makino directly diverted the topic.

Sure enough, as soon as this topic came out, everyone's attention suddenly shifted to the strategy meeting.

The 25th floor, a quarter of the progress of the Ain Grant Raiders, is completely different from other floors.

After sitting down at the top of the list, Makino said directly, "Diabel, let's summarize the information we have gathered first!" ”

Diabel looked serious and immediately took out the information he had gathered.

"Floor 25, aka the Guildland, is one of the few metropolitan towns in Ayngrun based on known information......"

"According to known intelligence analysis, the difficulty of the 25th floor is about 15% higher than that of the 24th floor......"

"At present, except for the Freedom Wings Guild, almost all the guilds in the Raiders group have been damaged on the 25th floor. Among them, the Ayn Grant Liberation Team suffered the greatest loss......"

Hearing this, the members of the Freedom Wings Guild couldn't help but gasp.

On the 25th floor, so many players have died.

Everyone's faces sank like water, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox!

I don't know when, they died directly in the strategy battle.

The members of the Freedom Wings Guild couldn't help but look at Makino.

When I saw that President Makino was still calm, my nervous mood was relieved a lot.

"We speculate that the main reason why the difficulty of the 25th floor has increased so much is that the progress of the strategy has progressed by a quarter. In the 50th and 75th floors behind, there may also be a big jump in difficulty......"

"Of course, the significance of the 25th floor under the strategy is definitely a major ......"

With Diabel's words, everyone who had just returned from vacation had a clearer understanding of the 25th floor.

Many people immediately thought of the Town of Beginning, the land of the guild, which should be a new starting point.

As the guild that SAO has traveled farthest, Wings of Freedom still has a clear understanding of the various floors of Ayn Grant.

Almost every few floors of Ayn Grant will have a relatively difficult floor.

On the other hand, this level is also the key to continuing to go down.

For example, the eleventh layer of Tafto.

This floor is one of the few town-type floors, and the quality of NPCs is very high, and it is also very helpful to players.

It is on the eleventh floor that the subclass system is turned on.

In addition to the main class swordsman, players have a new way to make money.

Weapons, armor, props...... With a new way, the possibility of going to a higher level has been greatly enhanced.

Obviously, such a floor is specially designed by Akihiko Kayaba to replenish players and boost their confidence.

Although this is just to satisfy the purpose of Akihiko Kayaba's play, for the players, the meaning is indeed extraordinary.

With Diabel's narration, everyone became more and more eager for the 25th floor.

However, if you want to attack the 25th floor, the difficulty is indeed a bit high.

The main reason is still - lack of intelligence!

Until now, the crowd has not even found the location of the boss on the 25th floor.

Just to lay 25 floors, it paid a considerable price.

At that moment, Diabel spoke.

"President, not long ago, the head of the Blood Alliance Knights, Heathcliff, launched an invitation to all the guilds of the Raiders Group, hoping to hold a joint meeting to share information and attack the 25th floor boss together."

Knights of the Blood Pact and Captain Heathcliff?

Hearing Diabel's words, the members of the Wings of Freedom Guild were in an uproar.

Although the Wings of Freedom is now recognized as the first guild of the SAO, the Knights of the Blood Alliance are also extremely powerful and are always chasing after them.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Knights of the Blood Alliance is the biggest challenger to the position of the First Guild of Freedom Wings!

Because of resources, there are even many disputes between the two guilds.

As the saying goes, what knows you best is your enemy.

The Knights of the Blood Alliance, whose leader is named Heathcliff, is not smiling, he is only interested in the things of the upper echelons of the strategy, and he is a complete strategy maniac.

At this point, the members of Freedom Wings were not too surprised.

Because their president, Makino, is also a complete "raider machine"!

This makes the members of the Freedom Wings Guild naturally think that the presidents of the Raiders Guild are all the same.

What really surprised the members of the Freedom Wings Guild was the strength of Heathcliff, the leader of the Blood Alliance Knights.

As the biggest enemy of the Freedom Wings Guild, the Freedom Wings naturally attach great importance to Heathcliff's intelligence.

But.

To everyone's surprise, even in such a dangerous strategy battle that cost him his life at every turn, Heathcliff remained motionless.

It is rumored that Heatscliffe's HP has never dropped by half.

On top of this, even Chairman Makino can't do it, so you can imagine how powerful Heatscliff is.

As for how strong Heatscliffe really is, it is an unsolved mystery!

Of course.

The most famous of the Blood Alliance Knights is not the leader of the Knights, Heathcliff, but the deputy leader Asuna.

There are very few female players in SAO, not to mention that Asuna is still an extremely beautiful beauty, and she is naturally more eye-catching than other players.

If that's all there is to it, Asuna is just a beautiful vase.

But.

Asuna can eat with her face, but she relies on her skills!

As a beautiful girl, Asuna is not only active in the front-line strategy group, but also extremely crazy in terms of strategy.

It is even called the "ghost of the raiders"!

In this regard, it is even comparable to Makino and Heathcliff.

It's all the strategy maniac of the raiders, which is daunting!

Asuna not only has strong sword skills, but also has extremely strong strategic and tactical literacy.

Many of the strategy battles were actually completed under the command of Asuna.

Not only has he won the respect of the members of the Blood Alliance Knights, but even the members of the Wings of Freedom.

Asuna is one of the few news figures like Makino who is often in the newspapers.

It is the signboard of the Blood Alliance Knights, and many members of the Blood Alliance Knights joined the Blood Alliance Knights because of Asuna's name.

Hearing Diabel's words, the members of the Wings of Freedom Guild were all surprised.

You must know that there are many contradictions between the Knights of the Blood Alliance and the Wings of Freedom, and there is competition on all sides.

No one expected that the president of the Blood Alliance Knights would take the initiative to invite the Wings of Freedom to hold a strategy meeting.

What's to be done?

Can't wait for a "showdown" with Wings of Freedom?

At this moment, the members of the Freedom Wings Guild were thinking about it.

The strategy group, the major guilds, although they are the same in terms of core goals, but who is not a little selfish?

Now that the Knights of the Blood Alliance have launched a call, if the Wings of Liberty respond, doesn't that mean that the Wings of Freedom have been crushed by the Knights of the Blood?

Seeing everyone's weighing, thinking, and tangled appearances, Makino couldn't help but smile secretly.

These little guys, one by one, think a lot.

Knights of the Blood Alliance, that must be contacted.

If you don't cancel, how can you quickly go to a higher floor?

Are you going to meet with Akihiko Kayaba, the final boss of SAO?

Makino suddenly looked forward to it!
