Early the next morning, Ling Yun and his party came to a square. There were already quite a few people waiting in the square, after all, this was an important meeting that had never been seen before in this world, and the future of nearly 50,000 people in this world was at stake.

"There are a lot of people." Luo Yexi looked around and whispered to Ling Yun.

"yes, after all, this is a meeting about their future." Ling Yun shrugged.

"What does it mean to be about their future? Lingyun, aren't you one of us? Kiriko said with some dissatisfaction.

In this regard, Ling Yun could only express his helplessness, after all, their group of people is really different from the gamers in this world. They can leave this world at any time, and they come here for a different purpose than the players in this world, their goal is to destroy the power of the end of Hades in this world, and at the same time prevent this half-plane from colliding with the real world. However, this kind of thing can't be told to Kiriko at all now.

By the way, there is also a young man beside Kiriko, who has a down-and-out samurai face and looks quite impressive. This person's name is Klein, and he is a friend that Kiriko met in the game on her first day in the game.

After Akihiko Kayaba gave that speech in the central square, Klein left her on the grounds of avoiding delaying Kiriko's promotion, for which Kiriko felt guilty for a while. However, Klein is too shy to stumble when talking to a girl. So when he saw Kiriko again in this place, it took a lot of effort for him to make what he wanted to say clear.

Kiriko was also quite happy to meet Klein here, after all, this was the first friend she had met in SAO. However, there are several people around Klein, who are friends who have entered this world with him, and have formed a small group, and it seems that life is not bad.

Just as Lingyun and Kiriko were talking, a crisp slap spread out in the speech square, attracting the attention of everyone present.

"Okay, so it's almost time to start." On a small platform in the center of the oratory square, a player stands.

The player has short blue hair and is equipped to look like a city guard. And these equipment still have a glimmer of light, it looks like it is obviously not ordinary equipment, it is estimated that it is a group of people who are better mixed in this world.

"Thank you for being invited today, I'm Tiaberu, profession, I consider myself a knight!" The man named Tiaberu said with a smile on his face, as he raised his hand and smacked his chest with his fist.

Tiabelu's words caused a burst of laughter from the players present.

"There's no career setting in this game, right?"

"What do you say knight ......"

"This meeting is a joke, right?"

“……”

Although Tiaberu's words caused a lot of people to laugh, no matter what, he still mobilized the atmosphere of the players here.

After everyone laughed for a while, Tiabero raised his hands half-up, and pressed his palms downward, signaling the silence of everyone present.

After everyone present quieted down, he said in a serious and serious voice: "A few days ago, my team found the room where the guard boss was located on the top floor of that tower!" ”

"Really?"

"It can't be a lie, right?"

"Judging by the way he dared to hold a so-called strategy meeting, it shouldn't be fake."

As soon as these words sounded, the faces of the people present became serious, revealing serious looks.

"We must defeat the boss and reach the second floor! Tell those of you who are still waiting in the Town of Initiation that this game of death will end one day! That's our obligation to gather here now, right, everybody! Tiabelu exclaimed impassionedly.

Tiaberu's words resonated with many of those present, after all, they also had a desire to get out of this terrible death game.

"Master, this person still looks very good!" Luo Yexi lowered his voice and said to Ling Yun. "If he hadn't died in the first-tier boss battle, maybe he would have been a leader in the future."

"Yes, if you follow the original plot, this guy will die in the hands of the boss on the first layer because he wants to get the equipment that the boss bursts out, which is really a pity. Save his life when the time comes, with such a leader, maybe there will be fewer people in this world who sacrifice. Ling Yun nodded slightly.

"Good!" Luo Yexi nodded slightly.

After the two decided Tiaberu's future life and death during the conversation, they heard him say loudly: "Okay, now, first of all, please form a team of six people, the strength of the boss of the defending layer is not something that ordinary teams can fight, and it is necessary to gather a team and form a company to resist the attack of the boss." ”

As soon as Tiabeglu's words fell, the people present began to talk, and at the same time looked for people they knew or close to them to form a team.

"Teaming up?" Luo Yexi swept the people around, and many people sent over to apply for a team, after all, her equipment seemed to be much better than the people present, and she must be a master. If there is a master in the team, it will be relatively much safer.

"Master, let's team up." Ignoring the other people's invitations, Luo Yexi directly sent a request to Ling Yun to form a team.

Ling Yun smiled and formed into Luo Yexi's team.

Ling Yun, Luo Yexi, Poison Island Tsuneko, Alice, Ling Qi, and later Naoba Kiritani, the six of them just formed a team.

"Uh, wait, where's my sister?" Naoba said suddenly.

Kiriko on the side is in an awkward situation, after all, she has always been a lone player, and she has never teamed up with others. Ling Yun, the only one who was familiar here, had already formed a team of six people, and it was full.

Quickly scanning the surroundings, Kiriko noticed a cloaked player sitting not far away. This player doesn't have anyone around him, and it seems that he can't find a lone player on the team.

Kiriko quickly moved to the side of the player and asked softly, "Are you also alone?" ”

"I'm not alone." A cold voice came from the cloaked player's mouth, and although the voice was cold, it was obvious that it was a girl's voice. "It's just that the people around me are acting like companions, so I avoid it myself."

"Solo traveler?" Kiriko muttered in a low voice. "So, do you want to team up with me?"

The cloaked player glanced up at Kiriko, but it made Kiriko feel nervous, and she hurriedly explained: "Tiabero said just now that the boss can't be attacked alone, just this time. ”

Seeing that the player in front of him nodded slightly after muttering for a while, Kiriko immediately sent a team request to go over.

After the player in front of her joined the team, Kiriko quietly glanced at the other party's name: "Asuna?" ”

Ling Yun, who was on the side, looked in the direction of Kiriko and happened to see the scene of her teaming up with Asuna.

"Did the protagonist meet?" Ling Yun nodded.

"Alright, you should all have your team. Well, the strategy session continues. Tiabelu brings the conversation back to the point.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a voice interrupted Tiaberu's words, and a figure appeared above the square.
