Chapter 604: Heathcliff's Plan

"We have two choices, the first is to go in and brush the boss before them, if we do this, it basically means that we have completely walked on the opposite side of the three guilds, and we will almost have to rely on ourselves in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be accepted by the strategy group of the three major guilds.

And the second option,It's not to brush the boss.,At least there's room for relaxation in the relationship between the two sides.,But this BOSS is tantamount to giving it over.,Just like Kirito said.,As long as they don't have a problem with their brains.,There's no problem with this boss after the strategy.。 ”

Ling Ze basically explained the consequences of the two choices very clearly, if he was allowed to choose by the previous Kirito, then he would choose the first option without hesitation.

After all, the previous Kiritto was used to being a "lone wolf", and the boss who could brush it himself, why let it be given to others?

Besides, if they defeat the second-tier boss, wouldn't they make a huge contribution to everyone being able to go home?

The only ones who will be angry at their actions are the three major guilds that have already regarded the strategy rights of the second-tier boss as something in their pockets, and ordinary players will only cheer for this, after all, for ordinary players, the benefits of this level boss have nothing to do with them in the first place.

It is even possible that ordinary players will idolize them who can successfully defeat the boss with nine people.

"Forget it, it's not necessary."

However, the current Kirito didn't make that decision, and after thinking about it for a while, he still chose to give up the strategy.

First, as mentioned before, they don't have such an urgent need for the benefits of the boss of the raider.

And the second is the security issue, even if they already have an understanding of the difficulty of this boss, they can't guarantee that there will really be no problems, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

"It's irrational to do this kind of thing for the sake of a little battle of will."

Asuna has always been firmly on the side of the opposition compared to Kiritto and Klein, who were shaken for a while.

"In fact, the most critical point is that once we do this, then the necessity of the strategy group will begin to be doubtful, when we easily brush off the bottom boss on our own, then other players who feel that they are strong enough may also give up participating in the strategy group, and choose to team up to try the strategy boss, which will directly increase the speed of the collapse of the strategy group."

Ling Ze said with a smile, he actually just mentioned it casually, but he didn't really want to brush the boss of this layer alone, after all, it didn't just affect themselves.

Although the operation of the three guilds has made the "Raider Group" exist in name only, and it has begun to gradually transform into the "Three Guild Raiders Group", at least for now, players have not yet had the idea of "maybe we can team up and brush alone".

If this idea starts to rise, then the era of forming a "strategy team" to unify the strategy will be completely over.

"Okay."

Jerome pursed his lips, although he was still resentful, but he had no resentment about the unification decision made by everyone.

The group no longer had the idea of playing the bottom boss, and began to level up in the maze area with peace of mind, and soon, other players also rushed over one after another, and the leader was Heatcliff of the "Blood Alliance Knights".

"Hello, friends of the Wind Forest Volcano."

After meeting Ling Ze and them by chance, Heathcliff didn't walk over directly, but stopped to say hello to Ling Ze and them, looking like he wanted to communicate.

"Hello, Heathcliff, huh? I'm Klein. ”

As the titular "president" of the "Wind Forest Volcano", Klein naturally stood up and started social activities.

"I've heard of it."

Heathcliff's face is calm and serious, although he says polite words, but it faintly gives people a sense of alienation, or rather, gives people a sense of "majesty, high up" oppression, which makes people unconsciously lower their posture, of course, it may also inspire rebellion.

For example, now, Klein, who is not in a very good mood, is keenly aware of Heathcliff's good "superiority", he doesn't understand what Heathcliff means by looking at him, why he doesn't look at anyone at all, he doesn't take them in his eyes at all, he thinks, they haven't offended this guy, right?

"What's the matter?"

Klein, who was inexplicably watched, decided to end the conversation with this guy as soon as possible, and the so-called "more than half a sentence without speculation" is probably the current situation.

"I want to ask, does Wind Forest Volcano have any plans to break away from the three major guild strategy groups and join our casual player strategy group?"

Heathcliff was also very neat, he didn't say much, he got straight to the point, and said his purpose.

“......”

Klein was stunned for a moment, and after looking back at his companions first, he replied to Heathcliff:

"Wait a minute, we're going to talk about it."

"There's no hurry, please."

Heathcliff nodded, he also knew in his heart that the real person in charge of the "Wind Forest Volcano" was not Klein.

"What do you think? Heathcliff invited us to join his team of Raiders, and the guy seemed to have made up his mind not to go with Diabel. ”

Klein smiled at the corners of his mouth, obviously happy with Heathcliff's decision, which probably made Diabel disgusted, after all, it must be Heathcliff's side that attracted the interest of those scattered players in comparison.

"That's for sure, the three guilds must first balance the interests of the three guilds, and there aren't many leftovers for casual players, while Heathcliffe's side will definitely fully consider the interests of casual players."

Kirito nodded, he was more inclined to Heathcliff's side, first, Diabel had calculated him before, which had left him with some not very good impressions, and second, Diabel's situation was there, and he believed that Diabel was probably helpless.

"Then join?"

Klein asked, everyone nodded, even if this resolution was passed, Asuna and Ling Ze also supported it, after all, the three major guilds made that kind of moth, and no one still had expectations that they would be able to give up their benefits to small guilds and scattered players, and Heathcliff's action of setting up his own "strategy group" would inevitably be supported by many people.

As for the difference in strength, this is even more nonsense, the strength of casual players and small guild players is not necessarily weak, after all, many of them are led by closed beta players, or simply composed of closed beta players, and they are very resistant to joining the three major guilds to accept control.

If you really want to talk about strength, maybe it is the "Raiders Group" of the new organization on the side of "Heathcliff" that is stronger, although the quantity is not superior, but the quality is all leveraged.

"Let's join."

Klein reached out and said to Heathcliff, who reached out and shook him.

"Welcome, and glad you were able to choose to join us."

Although it was not clear from Heatscliffe's expression that he was pleased, Klein nodded approvingly.

"Why are you here now?"

Klein asked curiously, Heathcliff led a lot of people, in addition to the people who were originally his "Blood Alliance Knights", there were also some scattered players and small guild players who participated in the "Strategy Meeting".

"We're going to be out there and see if Diabel can make it happen."

Heathcliff said, which surprised Klein, who thought he would be in a safe zone and waiting for the results of the strategy.

Seeing that Heathcliff said goodbye and left, Klein returned to Ling Ze and them, and the guy scratched his head and asked:

"Shall we go and see the excitement too?"

Obviously, Heathcliff's choice inspired Klein, anyway, the boss room won't be closed when the boss is fighting, even if they don't participate in the boss's strategy activities, it's always okay to watch outside, right?

"Go ahead, if there's anything unexpected, we can help too, I don't think they mind."

Ling Ze opened his mouth and said, which made his companions a little surprised, listening to the meaning of Ling Ze's words, he seemed to think that the situation in the boss room was not so simple, and there might be an accident.

"Okay, let's not care about the villains, if there is really danger, we must try to take a hand, I will see if those bastards can be cheeky and say that they can do it without us."

Hearing Ling Ze's words, Klein slapped his high-fives, and Jerome and they also responded, in the final analysis, this is still a group of good-hearted guys, if there is really an accident, it is impossible for them to die without saving them.

But to be honest, in fact, Ling Ze didn't have this idea at first, but after learning that Heathcliffe had brought someone over, he immediately understood that there must be a problem with the boss room, and it would not be a minor problem.

If it were someone else, Ling Ze wouldn't be so sure, but Heathcliff, Kayaba Akihiko, he is the person who knows this game best, others don't know the situation of the boss room, can he Heathcliff not know?

If there's one reason for Heathcliff's behavior, it's that the boss room hides changes that players don't know, and it's likely to be the same as on the first floor, and maybe even more dangerous than the first floor.

Heathcliff brought the people around him, those retail investors and small guild players over, in order to establish his image of "not falling", and he had to rely on the immortality of his GM to turn the tide when variables appeared!

After figuring this out in his heart, Ling Ze chose to follow the past without hesitation, how could this kind of thing make him get his wish?

The "genius" who is full of "bad tastes" and has brain problems must be waiting for everything to start with the mentality of watching a play in his heart at this time, he has already set the stage, and after the curtain opens, he will let those guys understand who is the real protagonist of this play.

And for Ling Ze, thwarting this guy's plan and leaving him without any way, he simply shouldn't be too happy.

Soon, Diabel led the people of the strategy team to the labyrinth area, and they swept away the monsters on the road with great momentum, and arrived at the boss room located in the hidden area on the second floor.

"Why are you all here?"

Seeing the "Wind Forest Volcano", "Blood Alliance Knights" waiting at the door of the boss room, as well as those scattered people and small guild players, the leading Diabel and the Tooth King looked confused.

"Don't worry, you just go in, let's just come over and see what the boss of this second layer looks like."

Klein opened his mouth to fool, of course he would not tell his true intentions, if he did, it would only attract the hostility of Diabel and the Tooth King, and they would think that he was cursing them, so it was better to make up a reason to fool them.

"Hmph, whatever you want, it's useless to watch it, we will succeed."

The Tooth King said disdainfully, he obviously still misunderstood, he felt that these guys were deliberately looking at the boss's attack pattern, so that they could attack after they failed to retreat.

Heathcliff didn't speak, and Diabel had already taken the lead, pushing open the door to the second level of the boss room.

The scene behind the door is similar to the situation on the first floor, except that the "decoration" is a little different, and Diabel leads one hundred and fifty players to quickly enter.

As they entered, the dark boss room immediately began to light up, and when they advanced to the middle of the boss room, the monsters appeared.

"Moo-oh-oh-oh!!"

The roar of what may have been some kind of long-range attack shook the air, and with the roar appeared a minotaur monster with short blue hair, its name clearly marked on its head, "Colonel Bull Nato".

"It's Nato! There is only one! Exactly as expected! ”

Seeing Nato appear, Diabel shouted, this is undoubtedly good news, and the members of the strategy team immediately cheered.

"The three teams of M, N, and O are on top, hurry up!"

The strategy officially began, and each squad began to act according to the assigned task, and the three squads M, N, and O immediately went up, and thirty people were more than enough to deal with Colonel Nato.

"It's coming!"

Standing at the door, Kirito said suddenly, and he saw the track where Colonel Nato's huge hands swung down vertically with his hammer, which was the starting style of the sword technique "Paralysis Impact".

The thirty players who faced Colonel Nato were obviously prepared, and they each jumped backwards almost at the same time, and the hammers paused in the air for a moment, and then they fell with several layers of bright yellow lightning, and the metal blocks with lightning struck violently on the blue-black stone slabs, making a "boom" sound.

Of course, there were no players in the range of being directly hit by the hammer, and everyone jumped out of the attack range in time, but there were still small lightning bolts that spread outward from the point of impact, running on the floor and gradually fading away.

"Looks like they're ready."

Kirito and Asuna were all relieved, although they didn't participate, they were also very nervous from the outside, for fear that a mistake would kill many people.

"The attack mechanism of this monster is very simple, as long as there are no major mistakes, there should be no problem."

Looking at the players who are getting better and starting to fight back, Kirito feels that it is only a matter of time before they kill Colonel Nato.
