The news released by the Knights of the Blood Alliance quickly caused an uproar among players.

Who is stronger between Xia Qianshi and Heathcliff is the most enthusiastic gossip for players.

Now Xia Qianshi took the initiative to retreat, as if he was afraid of Heathcliff.

For a while, the remark that 'Xia Qianshi is not Heathcliff's opponent' was noisy.

Xia Qianshi himself didn't care about this.

He is a thorough consequentialist who can give up his glorious identity in order to extinguish the coffin of the smile.

Naturally, he will not go to Heathcliff for trouble because of face.

However, he soon discovered that he was no longer alone in the game......

The first to stand up is Yuki.

As the current leader of the First Guild, she said in a very high-profile manner that the Blood Alliance Knights, as a guild with a head and face, was really immature to release such remarks, and declared that if the head of the Heathcliff Regiment really wanted to find an opponent, they [Ayngrant] PLA could accompany them.

Then there was Asuna, who got the news.

Don't look at Asuna as a gentle and reliable virtuous helper in front of Xia Qianshi, but her title of mad swordsman [flash] Asuna is also spelled out by herself with one sword and one sword, if she really wants to start a surge, Xia Qianshi has to scare her for three points.

All in all, Asuna didn't go home with Xia Qianshi after getting the news, and went directly to the guild to make a fuss, and even shouted the words 'quit the guild'.

According to people familiar with the matter, Heathcliff was stunned by her yelling at the time, and apologized to Asuna with a wry smile afterwards.

Finally, there is Kirito, although he is a lone ranger, he has also helped many players who have encountered difficulties during his journey, so he has a high reputation among players, and has earned the title of [Black Swordsman].

He said that he was not the opponent of Brother Qianshi, and if Heathcliffe wanted to challenge Xia Qianshi, he would defeat me first!

……

Probably even Heathcliff himself did not expect that he had acquiesced to the actions of his subordinates just because he was depressed for a while, and in the end, he seemed to be the enemy of the world at the best of his ability.

Heathcliff is not the kind of protagonist who goes against the sky in online novels, and finally stood up and spoke under such tremendous pressure:

"I'm sorry for causing so much trouble to everyone, everything is caused by my poor supervision, and I apologize to everyone."

With the activity of intelligence merchants, this phrase quickly spread throughout Ian Grant.

"I didn't expect Heathcliff to soften so easily......"

"What if you don't give in? Is it really against the [Ayn Grant Liberation Army]? There were more than 2,000 of them! ”

"I'm counting on the Blood Alliance Knights and the Ayngrant Liberation Army to fight a guild war......"

"You're stupid, SAO is a game of death, how could something like a guild war happen?"

"Captain Heathcliff is quite responsible, and he takes the initiative to take responsibility for himself."

"But even if Heathcliff is soft, it's true that Xia Qianshi doesn't dare to accept his challenge, right?"

“……”

In this death game, although there are Xia Qianshi and others who are struggling at the forefront of the game, there are also quite a few players who are curled up in the street of Initiation and dare not come out.

It is unimaginable to many people that they would rather stay under a fruit tree and wait for the fruit worth 5 kor that will only fall three times a day, rather than dare to face a monster outside the city that is only one level.

Keep in mind that even the lowest-ranking Berserk Boars can provide a minimum of 30 kor each.

In this case, their only daily amusement is probably the newspaper sold by the tipster.

However, even a newspaper of 50 kor is a luxury for them, and they often have dozens of people who buy it and take turns to read it.

Now there are dozens of players coming together to talk about the hot news that just came out today.

Xia Qianshi and Heathcliff are both extremely distant and lofty figures to them, and being able to talk about such characters gives them a refreshing sense of pointing out the country, and even the usual decadence has dissipated a lot.

It is the so-called lust to strengthen the body.

But at this moment, a player who was standing by the item shop because he was bored suddenly wondered: "There is a new newspaper so soon?" ”

He glanced at the headline that was deliberately displayed outside to attract customers, and read slowly:

[If His Excellency Heathcliff is eager to fight, he will accompany him to the end!] 】

Xia Qianshi and Heathcliff have made an appointment!

The location is on the 60th floor of the Colosseum!

These two pieces of news detonated in an instant in the entire Axis Grant!

"Haha, I know that President Xia Qianshi is my idol, how can he avoid fighting without fighting?"

"I have to go to the scene!"

"This duel is organized by the Ayngrant Liberation Army, and the ticket fee for the last row is 1,000 kels, can you afford it?"

"I can't afford it, but there are so many of us, it's a big deal to scrape together money! Each person has 5 kels, and it only takes 200 people to get together 1,000 kels, and the people who go will record the whole duel, and I can watch it for a year! ”

"Ask for a group!"

"Add me one, I'll get in the car too!"

The whole process may seem like a long time, but it's actually just a day.

When Xia Qianshi and Asuna were still dating, the battle of words outside had already started, and the next morning Heathcliff came forward to apologize, and in the afternoon the two made an appointment for the duel.

When there was a commotion outside because of this incident, Xia Qianshi's home was also in an uproar.

"What a ——! you stupid idiot!"

Asuna knelt on the sofa and used her small fist to beat Xia Qianshi, who had been forced into the corner of the sofa.

"Obviously, the other party has already taken the initiative to back down, why do you still propose this kind of duel!"

Xia Qianshi, who didn't dare to defend himself, leaned back and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I'm going to lose?" ”

"I just think that such a duel is meaningless at all, there is no benefit in winning, and losing will only bring you into disrepute!"

Asuna pouted unhappily and said, "...... When I saw your [Sword Art Online] before, I really felt like the strength of another dimension, but the regimental leader's [Divine Sword] was not bad, and dealing with sharp attacks was exactly his specialty...... To be honest, although I have confidence in you, I feel that the head of the regiment is not without the possibility of winning. ”

"Have more faith in me."

Xia Qianshi smiled and pressed Asuna's pink fist, pressing her little face, which had turned red from shyness, to her chest.

"What's more, didn't you say before that I must be accompanied by Heathcliff and others before I am allowed to crusade against the Smile Coffin?"

"As for me, I don't like to beg people, and I don't like to owe favors, so what about ...... I'll use my sword and sword to talk to him. ”
