When Asuna touched Yui's hair and fell into deep thought, Lin Yiyan put down the teacup and said thoughtfully, "Miss Sasha! ”

"Yes?"

"I want to ask about the army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs far as I can tell, the group is overbearing, but they are still enthusiastic about maintaining law and order. But the group of people I saw yesterday is already equal to the perpetrators...... When did it start to become like this? After Lin Yiyan finished asking, he whispered, "This is impossible according to the past?" ”

The corners of Sasha's mouth twitched, and she replied with a sigh, "It was about two months ago that I started to feel a change in their approach...... There are those who have begun to commit acts of intimidation in the name of taxation, and there are those who have in turn banned such acts. Scenes of members of the army pitting against each other are constantly staged. I heard that it was because of a power struggle at the top......"

"Hmm...... After all, the current army is already a huge group with more than 1,000 members, and it is difficult not to completely divide and oppose each other...... But if that kind of behavior becomes the norm yesterday, then you can't just leave it alone......" Lin Yiyan frowned in embarrassment, "But with just a few people in our guild, we can't manage it at all!" ”

"Unless Xiao Yi unites with other guild members, you will face this kind of guild of thousands of people...... "Poison Island Tsuneko said, "There is only a limit to what we can do if we are the only ones!" ”

"That's right! And now most guilds are worried about the strategy, and it is estimated that they will not care about this kind of thing! Asuna said, "And we can't do the same as the last time we fought against the Killer Guild 'Smile Coffin' and the Rogue Guild 'Brigandia', after all, the army is ......."

At this moment, Lin Yiyan, who was frowning and about to take a sip of tea, suddenly picked up his head, looked in the direction of the entrance of the church, and said strangely, "Someone is coming!" And also a person! ”

"Huh? Are there any more guests? A loud knock on the door overlapped with Sasha's words, resounding throughout the room. In the end, for the sake of prudence, Lin Yiyan and Sasha, who had a short sword hanging from their waists, walked out of the restaurant to open the door, but when the two returned, they were followed by a slender female player.

The player has long silver hair tied into a ponytail, and the sky-blue eyes on his upright face, which can be described as smart, glow impressively. Although in SAO, hairstyles, hair colors, and even eye colors can be changed freely, but after all, they are still Asian, and it can be said that players who are suitable for such a strong color setting can be said to be very rare.

Asuna herself dyed her hair cherry pink and switched back to chestnut after finding that it didn't fit, which is not an inhumane past. Asuna's first impression of this female player contains the longing that she feels that the other party is really beautiful and mature. Later, when I looked at her gear, I couldn't help but stiffen. And the people who seemed to be aware of something were also on guard, staring at each other tightly.

Although the player who suddenly appeared was covered by an iron-gray cloak, the dark green top worn by the female player, loose pants on the thighs, and metal armor that shone faintly like stainless steel were the uniforms of the 'army'. On the right hangs a short sword from his waist, and on the left hangs a circle of bound black leather whips.

The children, who had noticed the women's dress, also closed their mouths, and stopped moving with a wary look in their eyes. However, Sasha smiled at the children, and then said as if to reassure them, "Don't be afraid of this person, let's continue eating." ”

Although it didn't seem very reliable at first, Sasha, who was absolutely trusted by the children, said this, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the restaurant instantly resumed its noise. At this time, the female player who walked to the round table bowed lightly to Sasha, who invited her to sit down, and then sat down on the chair.

Asuna, who was a little unclear about the situation, and Poison Island asked Lin Yiyan with their eyes, as if asking what was going on, Lin Yiyan, who understood the eyes of the two, tilted his head and said to the two, "Uh-she's Miss Liyeer, it seems that something is looking for us." ”

The silver-haired whip envoy named Yuriel first looked directly at Asuna, and at the same time took a deep look at Poison Island Tsunza, then nodded and said, "The first time we met, I am Yuriyer who belongs to the guild ALF!" ”

“ALF？” Asuna **** the name she heard for the first time, looked at Poison Island and Lin Yiyan with a puzzled expression, and used her eyes to confirm whether the two of them had also heard such a name. Seeing the confused appearance of the three of them, the woman shrunk her neck slightly and explained to Lin Yiyan and the others, "Ah, I'm sorry, this is the abbreviation of the Aingrun Liberation Army. Because the official name is quite tricky for me......"

Yuriel said this to everyone in a smooth and beautiful bass, but when she heard that the other party had already introduced herself, Asuna also greeted her at the same time, "First time we met, I am a member of the guild's 'Wings of Freedom', my name is Asuna!" As for the one next to me, he is also a member of the 'Wings of Freedom'! This kid is Yui! ”

Poison Island Tsuneko smiled at Yuriyeer, and said hello. As for Yui, it took a long time to empty the plate with the soup, and Yui, who was now challenging the juice, raised her face and looked at Yuriel after hearing Asuna's words. Yui was a little suspicious, but immediately smiled and turned her gaze back again.

And the moment Yuriel heard the name 'Wings of Freedom', her azure eyes suddenly widened. I only heard her mutter, "I see, no wonder I can easily solve that group of people, I can't think of it......" After speaking, she set her eyes on the only man present, that is, Lin Yiyan, "Then, you are Lin Yiyan, the vice president of the 'Wings of Freedom'!" ”

“…… I am! Lin Yiyan nodded.

"Unexpected... I met you here, how did you come to this level? Yuriel, who seemed to have heard of Wings of Freedom, said in astonishment, "No wonder you can solve that group of people so easily......"

"The Wings of Liberty Guild, it's powerful?" Seeing Yuriyer's surprised expression, Sasha asked in a whisper on the side, her face full of curiosity.

"Yes!" Yuriel looked at Sasha and replied, "This is a guild with only a dozen or more than twenty people, but each one of them is very powerful, and at the top level, it is also the guild with the most bosses in their strategy!" It can be said that most of the bosses are raided by the 'Wings of Freedom' guild! ”

“！！” Sasha looked at Lin Yiyan in surprise, as well as Poison Island Tsuneko and Asuna, it was really hard to imagine that such an easy-going young man would actually be the most powerful member of the strategy group!

"Our matter is discussed later, and I would like to ask, Miss Yuriel!" Lin Yiyan asked Yuliyer, "What are you doing this time?" Was it a protest against yesterday's incident? Is it because we taught that group of people? So ......" just didn't wait for Lin Yiyan to finish speaking, and Yuliyeer, who was afraid that Lin Yiyan and others would misunderstand, hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, there is no such thing." I would like to thank you in return, it was so well done. ”

Yu Liyeer's answer made Lin Yiyan, Asuna, and Poison Island Tsuneko look at each other, and they couldn't figure out what was going on at all! Seeing that the three of them looked silent, Liye straightened her posture and pleaded with the three of them, "The purpose of coming here today is that I want to ask the three of you for something." ”

"Please, please?" Facing the doubts of Lin Yiyan and the others, You Liye swayed her silver hair and nodded, and the female swordsman of the army continued, "Yes, I will explain it from the beginning. The name army has not been used since the past...... The transformation into an army, as ALF is now called, was created after the former vice-president, who is now the de facto ruler, took over the real power. The original name was Guild MTD...... Have you heard of it? ”

Asuna and Poison Island Tsunako don't care about this, they may not have heard of it, but Lin Yiyan, who knows a lot about the game and keeps Jarvis in control of the game, immediately replied, "The abbreviation of MMOTODAY is right! At the beginning of SAO, Japan's largest online game comprehensive intelligence station, the manager of the guild should be organized there, I remember the name seems to be called - Xinka!? ”

When Lin Yiyan said the name, Yuliye's expression distorted slightly, "He definitely ...... It's not like trying to form an organization that is doing it alone. He just wants to distribute intelligence, food, and other resources equally to as many players as possible......"

Asuna had also heard about the ideals and disillusionments of the 'army'. There is nothing wrong with the idea of hunting monsters in large numbers to avoid crises as much as possible and to obtain a stable income to distribute evenly. But the essence of MMORPGs is a scramble for resources between players, even in a game like SAO, which is in an extremely abnormal situation. No, perhaps it should be said, it is precisely because of this that it is even more so.

So, in order to achieve this ideal, the scale that the organization actually has and a strong leader is indispensable. For this reason, the army is simply too large. Improper concealment, purging, and backlash continue to occur, and leaders are slowly losing their leadership.

"At this moment, it was the man named the Tooth King who came out." "Under the pretext of Sinka's laissez-faire, he joined his group of cadres and players to propose to strengthen the system and change the name of the guild to the Ayngrunt Liberation Army. This was followed by the promotion of the accepted policy of hunting criminals and efficient monopoly of practice areas. (To be continued.) )
