Chapter 24: The Battle of Redemption
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still an hour before the official start of the strategy meeting, but hundreds of players had already gathered at the water spray plaza where the strategy meeting was scheduled to be held.
"There are so many people."
Asuna's voice was full of amazement and joy, the strategy boss was destined to be a dangerous battle, but now that so many people came, it made Asuna's heart full of excitement.
Xia Qianshi said: "If the time is delayed a little further, there will be more people coming." ”
"What do you mean?"
Kirito explained in place of Xia Qianshi: "If you look closely, these people are just wandering around the square, and only a very small number of people actually enter the circular staircase square in the center - in other words, the vast majority of people come to see the excitement. ”
“……”
Asuna was silent.
"Alright, let's go in first."
Xia Qianshi led the two of them through the crowd, and when they entered the circular square, the players erupted in applause - this is a respect for the brave.
This makes Asuna feel honored, but also has a feeling of a heavy burden on her shoulders - she is now shouldering the expectations of thousands of players!
Entering the circular plaza, there were already more than a dozen people inside, the most conspicuous of which was probably a player with dyed blue hair and dressed as a knight.
The atmosphere at the scene was very dull, and everyone had no desire to talk, and after nodding to each other, they each found a stone step in front of them and sat down, waiting for the start of the strategy meeting.
Soon, an hour passed quickly, and Xia Qianshi counted the players around him, including him, the total number of people was 45, and there were still three people short of the maximum number of people in the team, but since the scheduled time had arrived, there was no need to wait any longer.
Standing up from the stone steps, Xia Qianshi walked to the center of the circular square, stood still, and then turned around, and in front of him, there were 44 players at the peak, and it would not be long before he would lead these people to the pinnacle battle in "SAO"!
Taking a deep breath, Xia Qianshi stretched out his fist and said: "I'm very glad that everyone can respond to my call to come here, I am the organizer of this raid, you can call me Xia Qianshi." ”
There was still silence on the circular steps, and everyone was waiting for his next step.
"Before I start the strategy meeting, I would like to ask everyone in this room some questions." Xia Qianshi's gaze patrolled over the 45 players: "First of all, what is everyone's level. ”
"I'm level 9!"
"I'm level 10!"
"Haha, it seems that my level is the highest, I'm level 11!"
“……”
"In other words, even the lowest-level friends have already reached level 9, right?" Xia Qianshi nodded, "Then, what about the enhancement of your equipment?" ”
Although the question was somewhat private, players replied:
“+4!”
“+3!”
"I'm +5 already!"
“……”
"Minimum level 9 and minimum equipment enhancement 3......"
Xia Qianshi lowered his head and muttered these two key values, and when he raised his head again, his expression had changed from calm to an infectious confident smile, and he said, "Then, this victory is already an easy thing for us. ”
"If you want to ask why, I believe players with channels have already learned that during the closed beta period, the level of players breaking through the first layer is 6, and the equipment level is uneven...... With such a boss that a team can defeat, I really can't think of a reason why we'd fail. ”
"So, we are...... Victory! ”
"Boom!"
Thunderous cheers and shouts exploded on the circular steps, and even Kirito, who was relatively quiet, couldn't help but take a deep breath, and there was a fiery feeling that every breath felt like a flame beating in his chest.
In just a few words, the players' self-confidence and fighting spirit were fully aroused, and Kirito had to admire the leadership of this friend who he considered 'big brother'.
After the player's cheers subsided slightly, Xia Qianshi pressed his hands down, and after the scene became quiet again, he patted the strategy manual in his hand and said: "Regarding the strength of the boss, it has been explained in great detail in this booklet, I believe everyone should have read it no less than ten times before coming over, right?" ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Then I won't spend time going into detail about the introduction of the boss, and now, I'll start assigning teams."
In addition to the three of Xia Qianshi, there were a total of 42 people at the scene, just forming 7 teams of 6 people.
Xia Qianshi broke up the players' original teams, and then divided them into two heavy meat shields (AB team), three attack teams with high mobility and high firepower (CDE team), and one support team equipped with long weapons (F team) according to their weapons and equipment and bonus point allocation.
"Team AB alternately bears the attacks of the boss, the CD team is responsible for attacking the boss, the E team is the first to prioritize the elimination of the surrounding guards, and the F team uses a variety of action delay skills attached to the long weapon to block the attack of the boss or the surrounding boss guards as much as possible."
Although this set of combat plans that Xia Qianshi came up with in a short period of time was simple, it was extremely practical, and no one on the scene could come up with a more suitable plan than this, so they were convinced.
At this time, the captain of Team A, the blue-haired player known as Tilberu, raised his hand and said, "And what about the remaining three of you, captains?" ”
"We are 'free men.'"
A free man, a term derived from football, refers to a person who flexibly changes his position according to the situation on the field.
"The tide of battle is changing rapidly, and no one can really predict the trend of the battle, and in the event of an accident, we will be able to give you shelter and a spear to break through the accident; No one will die until the three of us die! ”
In the silence of the audience, Kirito and Asuna came to Xia Qianshi's side, and the three of them raised their long swords into the air in a vow-like attitude.
The three long swords colliding together, intertwined with colorful colors in the light of the setting sun, I don't know who started it, and the deafening applause resounded throughout the circular square in an instant.
In the midst of the huge cheers, Xia Qianshi pressed down the three swords and aimed them at the maze that could be seen in the distance, and said in a loud voice: "Let's go!" Defeat the boss waiting there and usher in redemption for ourselves and the players waiting on the Initial Street! ”
"Oooh oh !!"
Greeted by thousands of players, Xia Qianshi led the team of 45 people through the streets in a heroic manner, heading towards the dark labyrinth located in the north.
There are countless monsters along the way, but in front of this high-spirited and elite team, these monsters' obstacles are nothing more than mantis arms as cars, and they turn to ashes in an instant.
It only took them an hour and a half before they came to the black bronze door carved with the beast's head.
"I won't say anything superfluous...... In short, let's go home triumphant! Let's go! ”
After saying this, Xia Qianshi pushed open the huge pitch-black door and was the first to rush in!
