The next day, early in the morning.

Usually, at this point in time, it is already the time for players to start diving into the maze area to level up.

But today is different.

Shortly after dawn, a total of sixty players gathered again in Torbana's Fountain Square.

One by one, they all wore the best equipment, carried the best weapons, and even brought the most advanced recovery items that they could get within their ability, making every player look a little imposing.

However, the players' faces were full of seriousness and even nervousness, which made the sky above the square also fill with a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

In such a situation......

"Haw~~~"

Luo Zhen yawned and came here with a listless face.

"Yo, you're all here early."

Luo Zhen casually greeted the players who had gathered early, and his face was still sleepy-eyed, which made many players present quite angry.

The Tooth King who gathered in the crowd was stunned.

"It's obviously an important strategy battle, but it's actually like this hanger...?"

It seems that this hedgehog-headed one-handed sword envoy has not yet been completely relieved.

Not to mention the Tooth King, even Diabel smiled a little bitterly, and the rest of the players were also a little unhappy.

On the contrary, the closed beta players, although they are also a little helpless, are not surprised.

"It's still the same."

Kirito said this with a smile in his eyes.

"Was he like that before?"

Achill asked, a little confused.

"It's been like this since the closed beta period, and every time the front team decides to attack the defender boss, he is the last to arrive."

Argo spread his hands and provided such information.

In this regard, Asuna, who was standing next to Argo, spoke out a little softly.

"Is that okay?"

Obviously, for this girl, Luo really didn't perform well at all.

But Argo grinned.

"No way, who let him command others perfectly every time and take down the head of the defending boss without damage?"

Argo's words were exchanged for Kirito's approval.

"Don't look at him like that, when the time actually starts fighting, he'll be the most committed of them all."

That's what Kirito said.

Hearing this, Asuna could only be silent again.

In this way, Luo Zhen yawned while bearing the dissatisfied or helpless gazes of everyone present, and came to the field.

"Whew!"

I don't know if it was affected by Luo Zhen, the rainbow butterfly also looked sleepy-eyed, staying on Luo Zhen's shoulder, dozing off.

Of course, compared to Luo Zhen, who has a lazy face, the sleepy-eyed appearance of the rainbow butterfly gives people the feeling that it is only cute.

Diabel glanced at the rare demon and then withdrew his gaze to face everyone present.

"Now that everyone is here, let's have one last strategy meeting before the Raiders begin."

With that, Diabel looked in Argo's direction.

"Miss Argo, can you please explain to us what kind of monster the boss of the first layer is during the closed beta period, what is its attack pattern, and is there anything worth noting?"

Diabel took Argo very seriously to seek information from Argo, who was the one who was in the closed beta, so that all the players present focused their eyes on Argo.

“…… That's fine. ”

Argo, who used to require a good fee to provide information, seemed to be preparing to bleed this time, and after hesitating for a while, he decided to speak.

"However, I declare in advance that the information I know is only from the closed beta period, and after the official operation, it will become a little troublesome to collect information on the defending boss, after all, I don't dare to enter the boss's room alone, and that room was only discovered by you before, so I can only provide information during the closed beta period, and it is not excluded that after the official operation, the defending boss has been changed."

With that, Argo pondered the language for a moment, and then began to explain.

"During the closed beta period, the boss of the first floor of Ayn Grant was a giant kobold who was two meters tall."

"The official name of the kobolds ———— 'Kobold Lord Ilfang'."

"It's the lord of all the kobolds in the maze area of the first layer, and like other kobolds, they can use sword skills, and the weapon is a one-handed bone axe, and it is also equipped with a small leather round shield, so not only is the attack power very high, but the defense is also very strong, plus it has a full four HP slots, even if the battle axe equipped with the strongest attack power of the two-handed battle axe makes a team of six people use sword skills to output non-stop, it will take at least half an hour to have a chance to finish the boss's HP."

Argo's explanation made the expressions of the players become solemn one by one.

But......

"It's just the most basic information."

Argo said this in his voice, as if to warn the crowd.

"The most important thing is that the Guardian Boss is not just one person, it is also guarded by three "Ruined Kobold Guards" wearing metal armor and equipped with axe guns, and every time the boss's HP slot is reduced by one, new kobold guards will pour out, until the fourth HP slot, it will have a total of twelve kobold guards by its side, so before the guards can accumulate, they must be defeated first, but the boss will also block them, If you want to attack this defending boss, you need enough manpower, someone to deal with the boss, someone to deal with the guards, you can't let the number of guards increase, otherwise the difficulty will increase to the limit. ”

And that's just the first thing to note.

"Also, when the HP slot of the defending boss is reduced to the red area of the last one, the defending boss will abandon the weapon and shield and enter a temporary invincible state, during which it will change weapons and use curved knives, and the attack pattern will be greatly changed, if you can't react, you will be defeated by the new sword skills of the defending boss all the HP in one go."

With that, Argo glanced around at everyone around him.

"I don't need to explain what will happen then, right?"

Argo's words made the players present swallow in unison.

Kirito and Asuna frowned similarly.

"It's really hard." Diabel touched his chin, turned to look at Luo Zhen, who was still yawning, and asked, "Mr. Luo Zhen thinks that how should the defending boss be fought this time?" ”

Hearing Diabel's words, everyone present focused their eyes on Luo Zhen again.

"How?"

Luo Zhen continued to yawn, looked at Diabel, who was looking at him with a serious face, and smiled.

"Don't think too complicated, just use the usual mode to deal with bosses."

Luo Zhen looked at the area where the testers were.

"Next, I'll adjust the composition of the team, and you can form a team with each other according to my instructions."

After speaking, Luo Zhen began to give instructions.
