The second strategy meeting was scheduled for eight o'clock in the evening, and the people of the strategy team gathered early.

"Guys, now that you're all here, let's get started. The good news now is that the boss has not changed, and it is still [Kobold Lord Ilfang]. ”

The organizer of the Raiders group, the blue-haired knight Diabel, drew everyone's attention.

Like Wang Shui, there were many people who came to join in the fun, but everyone consciously stayed on the periphery of the square and tried not to disturb the meeting inside.

"I'm sure you've got this." The knight showed the thin parchment booklet in his hand, "The intelligence dealer has updated the free strategy manual and added a new chapter to the Demon King. ”

Wang Shui didn't meet Argo, the intelligence monger, but he got the booklet from the NPC stall on the side of the square.

The name of the boss, the predicted amount of HP, the type of weapon, and even the length of the two weapons, attack speed, damage, sword skill type, and so on.

The strategy section of the manual is more detailed:

The boss has a total of four health bars, and every time it is emptied, it will summon three elite template [Ruined Kobold Guards], and three will be summoned at the beginning, so it is best to have a special team to help the elite monsters move away and clean them up quickly, otherwise the monsters may pile up when changing stages.

The boss is roughly divided into two phases, during the first three health points, it uses a one-handed axe and a circular assault shield, the attack range is small, and the damage is average, but the sword skill of the shield will cause a negative state that controls for a long time, and it can't be hard topped, and multiple people have to alternately pull hatred.

When its health drops to a quarter, the boss will switch the weapon to a huge scimitar, and enter a berserk state, the offensive initiative is increased, and the damage is also increased.

And on the last page of the manual, there is a line of text written in bright red font:

[The content is information from the time of the SAO closed beta, and there may be differences from the current version.] 】

Wang Shui looked at the manual that had just appeared, and perfected the psychological portrait of the intelligence dealer Argo in his mind, it turned out that this philistine guy also had her temper, and this detailed booklet was her counterattack as a closed beta player.

"Guys," the blue-haired knight pulled Wang Shui's mind back, "I know what some people are thinking, and I prefer to believe that most people are capable of independent thinking - we should be grateful for this information." ”

Okay, it's a guy with brains, Wang Shui gave an evaluation, but he remembered that this blue hair seemed to be dead?

"This strategy manual has saved us a lot of time for reconnaissance and temptation, and the reconnaissance battle is the most likely occasion for victims - if this information is true, the attributes of the boss are not particularly terrifying, with the average level of everyone above level 10, it should be able to quickly defeat it!"

"So! We need to devise a good strategy and bring enough recovery potions to minimize attrition...... Sorry, I was wrong, I should say, I will never let the victim appear! In the honor of a knight, I swear to everyone! ”

Diabel's imposing words sparked cheers and applause.

"Before we start to develop tactics, we need to break up the original team arrangement, of course, each new team will try to fill in the acquaintances, and the experience of fighting side by side will play a better role."

"First of all, it's the most important Team A, all the people who have mastered the [Shield Mastery] skill, share the equipment and attributes with me, please believe in my person, I will promise not to leak everyone's information. Our A team will be the 6 players with the highest HP and defense, and you will be divided into three anti-damage fronts in pairs to stabilize the hatred."

"After that, there is Team B, a group of long-handled giant weapons, giant axes, giant scythes, long sticks and spears, if there are advanced weapons two-handed long swords, they are also counted as this category, these weapons have a high confrontation advantage, you are responsible for interrupting the boss's sword skills, if possible, I hope all sword skills are interrupted, you don't have to care about the output, our overall output should be overflowing."

"The three squads of CDE are our main output, one-handed straight swords, scimitars, short swords, and thin swords, using these high-speed and high-damage weapons, if there is a high proficiency [concealment] skill, it is the best, you are responsible for the centralized output with the ability to clear hatred, and the three squads are best to each bring a short sword to be responsible for the continuation of the armor-piercing effect."

"As for the three FGH squads, as well as the additional subs, your task is also very difficult, your composition will be more comprehensive, each team will be responsible for an elite template kobold guard, and! Your mission is to get rid of the guards quickly, and it's very dangerous to pile up monsters. ”

"The above is a relatively brief strategy plan.,I'll sort out personnel information tonight.,Tomorrow morning, I'm going to rehearse with the elite monsters in the maze area.,Noon,At the latest afternoon,We're going to start the strategy boss!"

Speaking of this, the blue-haired knight Diabel looked around the audience with a confident smile:

"I tell you, do you have confidence?"

"There is ——!"

What answered him was a strong affirmation like a tsunami, and the people watching from the periphery also felt the strong momentum of the strategy group.

Wang Shui read it calmly, nodded and took Shi Nai back to the rented house, but after coming back, he kept lying on the sofa and closing his eyes and thinking.

"What, are you worried about the Raiders team?"

Wang Shui nodded lightly at Shi Nai's question, but his worries may not be the same as Shi Nai's imagination.

Wang Shui vaguely remembered this plot, after all, this was the first time that Master Tong showed his might, and it was also the first time that he had a tacit understanding with Asuna.

And more importantly, the plot at this stage has very profoundly shaped the characters of the main characters.

Wang Shui remembered that the plot change was caused by the different weapons in the final stage of the boss, but because of the outbreak of Kirita and Asuna, there were no large casualties in the strategy group.

After that, Kirito recognized the nickname of [Cheating Cheating Person], which means that the guy who has the same amount of intelligence as cheating among the closed beta players, and he alone carries the hatred of ordinary players for the closed beta player group.

This growth is very important to Kirito, and Wang Shui is not sure if it will go as smoothly as the original book now.

Wang Shui is not worried that many people will die, whether it is the blue-haired knight or others, the stimulation of dying one and dying a few more should be similar to that of Kirito. What he can't tolerate is the destruction of the Raiders group, if too many powerful players really die, the plot will get out of control.

Protecting Kirito, letting the strategy go smoothly, and keeping Kirito in the state of the strongest player, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to operate the plot at the current level of Wang Shui.

That's why he was upset and worried.

The upper limit of the development of the game world is here, trapped in the first layer, and no matter how hard Wang Shui tries, he can't be strong.

The most special thing about him is that there is no restriction on skill learning, but even if he learns all the skills in this game, he can't take ten weapons at the same time to open a ten-knife stream, and that will seriously damage the plot.

Wang Shui's mission goal [Seed of the World] was entrusted to Kirito by Akihiko Kayaba for appreciating Kirito's bravery, self-discipline and kindness, if Wang Shui was only strong enough to break through this world by himself, he really didn't know how to get [Seed of the World], he had a clear self-perception of his own humanity.

The safest way is to protect the plot according to the situation in the original book, so Wang Shui is thinking about whether to reveal the information that the weapon in the final stage of the boss is not a scimitar.

Revealed, with the level and ability of the strategy group, it is very likely that the undead will be able to successfully attack the strategy if you are prepared, but this way the plot is bound to change a lot.

If you let the Raiders group have an accident...... This is the reason why Wang Shui is flustered, after all, the current SAO is very different from the original book, and if the crisis is beyond Kirito's ability, it is very likely to lead to a large-scale group annihilation.

After repeated entanglements, Wang Shui decided not to say it. Because if it's just to protect the Raiders group, there won't be mass deaths...... Wang Shui had conceived of many situations, and by the time he figured it out to himself, it was already one o'clock in the morning when he came back to his senses.

In order to ensure that he was energetic, Wang Shui had to go to rest.

……

……

On the second day, outside the huge stone gate on the [1-20] floor of the labyrinth area.

The light source near the hallway turned a striking red, and behind the large moss-covered stone door was the end of the first floor.

"Okay, everyone has seen the results of this morning's rehearsal, the elite monster is vulnerable with our cooperation, I hope everyone can maintain this state, the strategy BOSS is just a matter of course, after all, this is only the boss of the first layer! Just the beginning of our legendary adventure! ”

The blue-haired knight Diabel's voice didn't raise deliberately, and now the morale was high enough, and he checked the team configuration while relieving the tension and maintaining everyone's confidence.

After confirming that everything was correct, he made a forward gesture, then walked to the front and opened the door to the boss room himself.

"Arrange in formation, don't huddle together, everyone is moving steadily with me."

It's hard to imagine that the players who have broken up and reorganized the team will have this kind of execution and understanding, and every command from Diabel is very easy to understand and logical, which makes everyone in the strategy team feel a sense of security.

As they descended deeper into the huge, dimly lit room, the squad began to spread out their formation, preventing too many people from stacking on one attack surface.

Suddenly, a high-pitched and epic bel canto chant sounds, and the whole room begins to be covered in bright colors!

The room instantly became unusually bright, and the players finally saw the huge rectangular field, which was not full of clutter, only two rows of tall stone pillars.

At this time, everyone couldn't help but look forward, and on the colorful throne at the end of the room was a huge dark red figure, the standard kobold appearance of a dog-headed person.

As the golden red light in the boss's eyes rose, it stood up and touched the huge bone one-handed axe beside it, and the background music of the entire venue suddenly switched to a more passionate and compact melody.

Roar——!

The boss roared at the end of the room, then jumped forty or fifty meters and landed in the center of the room, followed by another roar, four blood bars came out of the electronic sound, and the name of [Kobold Lord Ilfang] below also appeared.

Standing three to four meters tall and with a small amount of metal armor and a muscular body, it holds a one-handed axe that is half a man tall and oppressive against the epic soundtrack.

It is the blue-haired knight Diabel who breaks the oppression! He stepped forward and commanded loudly:

"Team A has two enemies! Quickly pulled the hatred, and the remaining four slowly accumulated. Team B approached, ready to support the interrupted sword technique, CDE team, the short sword made the timer ten seconds after the start of armor-piercing guide output, the elite monster guard is coming! Each of the three FGH teams took one away! Substitutes help output nearby to ensure that elite monsters are killed quickly! ”

The 52 people in the Raiders group advanced in an orderly manner and dispersed quickly under Diabel's instructions, and the three elite monster kobold guards were pulled away in three directions as soon as they were generated.

Ten seconds are fleeting, and Team C's short sword makes a [Armor Piercing] sword skill take effect at the right time, and the first-level [Armor Piercing] effect that lasts for one minute is attached, and the three output teams also divide the attack, once the boss has signs of attack transfer or area attack, they will immediately retreat.

As soon as the game started, the boss showed a combat wisdom far beyond other monsters, and even took advantage of the fact that the avant-garde with a one-handed sword and shield was not paying attention when he moved the attack, and an axe ordinary attack knocked him back three or four meters away, and the avant-garde's health bar instantly turned yellow!

Fortunately, the nearby avant-garde was very experienced and quickly pulled away the attention of the boss.

"Basic Attack Weakness Crit 1233! It's about the same as the data on the Raiders, the offense slows down a little, pay attention to dodging, and the FGH team quickly cleans up the elite monsters! ”

Diabel didn't step forward to output together, he put himself in the bench team, as the commander he needs to take into account the overall progress, observe the boss's sword skills call interrupted, blameless arrangement.

Wang Shui and Shino are now observing at the door of the boss room, in addition to them, there are several other first-tier high-level players, who don't have the courage to participate in the raider, but they also want to witness this moment.

"New Elite Spawn! The last remnant of the last wave will be handed over to the substitute team, go and take over the new one first, and don't let the output hand be surrounded and flanked! ”

Diabel gave the order before the elite monster spawned, and Kirito was also keeping an eye on the situation, he was already moving towards the last remnant of the elite monster.

The light of the green sword technique accelerated in the air with Kirito, and at the same time as the head of the remnant blood elite somersaulted, his [Sonic Impact] also slashed the monster.

"Hurry up and help! It's just for us! ”

Kirito yelled, and then used his normal attack to resist the elite monster who was about his height, and now that the hatred has not completely shifted, this kobold still has a tendency to bypass him.

At this time, Asuna under Little Red Riding Hood followed, and the two quickly switched positions and outputs, and the hatred quickly stabilized.

The situation is not bad, players with less than half of the HP are only in single digits, the interrupt team of long-handled two-handed weapons is very efficient, and the boss's HP drops quickly!

Roar! ——

At the end of the blood, the boss roars again.

came, Wang Shui pulled Shino closer, staring at the boss's movements.

As he switched phases, the surrounding players were shaken away, and the huge kobold lord abruptly dropped his axe and shield, and his right hand grasped the hilt of the weapon that was lying horizontally at his waist.

"Close! The direction the boss is facing, pay attention to dodging straight line attacks! ”

Diabel said, rushing forward himself.

The first five squads became densely positioned because of the instructions, and most of the people besieging the boss were Diabel's teammates, and they put Diabel inside.

What's going on?! In such a hurry to grab the final blow?

At this time, Wang Shui, who was watching the battle, was a little incomprehensible, and this kind of behavior of letting others control the inner circle was too obvious, but the boss was still full of blood, why was he in such a hurry? What is he afraid of?

Just when the enclosure was completed, the background music suddenly changed, and the boss raised his head and roared, and suddenly pulled out a handful - the cold light [Yetai Knife]!

Kirito, who recognized the weapon change on the periphery, suddenly trembled and shouted loudly:

"No...... Don't get on! Jump back! It's a range attack! ”
