"That's right, that's right."

The King of Teeth revealed a cunning smile, while Sinka, standing beside him, coughed.

Sinka is the leader of the guild "ALF (Army)" and the manager of "MMOTODAY", Japan's largest online game information website.

In the real world, Sinka is the manager of a well-known gaming website, possessing strong intelligence gathering and leadership skills.

However, the purpose was distorted midway through due to the actions of Vice President Ya Wang and others.

In Aincrad, he was deceived and framed by the vice-captain, Fang, and trapped deep in the labyrinth beneath the Black Iron Palace. He was later rescued by Kirito and the others.

"Whoever conquers it is a good thing for us. Our goal is to conquer the hundredth floor and then exit this death game."

Sinka said.

His values ​​are quite sound.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, except for Ya Wang, who glanced at Sinka with some displeasure and retorted.

"That's not right. If the men in black control all the 'resources,' then we won't have good equipment and weapons when we're attacking, and we'll just be cannon fodder."

Ya Wang is a ruthless and cunning person. His greatest skill is to amplify the dark side of people's hearts and let negative emotions swell.

At this moment, in SAO.

Especially within the [Aincrad Liberation Army], such rhetoric about dedication is unpopular.

They have learned this lesson in blood more than once.

They crave power even more.

Only by becoming strong can one avoid death.

Only then can they escape the threat of death.

"Exactly, we're not saints."

"We must fight for ourselves."

"We are not cannon fodder."

"President Sinka, are you really willing to watch us become cannon fodder for others?"

“Each of us is a living, breathing human being, and we also have family in the real world.”

“My parents died when we were young, and my sister and I depended on each other for survival. My sister is only six years old.”

“My father broke his leg last year, and I have to take care of my mother who suffers from depression.”

"I……"

What was supposed to be a serious meeting turned into a venting session, with everyone passionately recounting their unfortunate pasts.

But Ya Wang revealed a cunning smile.

The more negative emotions these people experience, the more easily they are incited. And the fighting power of these incited individuals should not be underestimated; some even fight to the death without regard for personal safety.

While Ya Wang preached that "everyone's life is precious," he was also plotting to use these people as cannon fodder for revenge.

Asuna's face flashed through his mind once again.

If you can't have it, then destroy it.

In his mind, the King of Fang had already torn up Asuna's photo, and what he craved was blood, a bloody death.

The death of another person.

While those who had been incited were still making a commotion with high spirits, Sinka's heart had actually begun to waver. Was his idea really right?

For the first time, Sinka began to have self-doubt.

Of course, it wasn't just Ya Wang who pointed the finger at the men in black and the beta testers; there was another person... who was also secretly plotting something.

"Be careful."

Asuna, who was admiring the scenery on both sides of the river, exclaimed in surprise, just then a phoenix-tailed boat rushed past.

A voice sounded.

"Make way, make way, you're blocking the way."

"Step aside!"

That person shouted arrogantly.

Asuna was startled when the arrogant man brushed past her, leaving her more than ten meters away.

"what!"

Screams sounded.

The boat capsized inexplicably, and the arrogant boatman struggled and shouted in the waterway.

"Help! I can't swim!"

Even so, not a single onlooker on either side jumped into the water to save him. Asuna, however, noticed that the quest [Former Shipwright] was shining brightly once again.

"Wasn't the mission completed?"

Asuna was also a little puzzled.

She read a line of small print: "[The attitude of the ship belonging to the Water Transport Guild is suspicious. Ask the shipwright again.]"

Asuna was also hesitant about whether to continue the mission. However, she was not one to make decisions on her own. After discussing it with Lin Yan, the two decided to go to the portal first.

The portal plaza is surrounded by waterways.

There are hotels and stalls in the four corners.

Behind the west side of the square, a large crowd had already poured into the dock.

"I suddenly had a bad feeling."

Asuna said, as if talking to herself.

The large crowd that gathered was due to a standoff between two groups.

On one side is a group of people dressed in uniform blue outfits; they are members of the guild [DragonKnights.Bridage].

On the other side were the [Aincrad Liberation Army] in uniform moss-green attire.

"They're from the Holy Dragon Alliance Guild, and there are also people from the military. Are they going to clash?"

"The standoff between the two major guilds is truly thrilling."

"Please, no one should die."

"That's hard to say, given the tense atmosphere."

"Ignites instantly."

"..."

Those watching the spectacle each had different motives; some didn't want any casualties, while others were simply bystanders who weren't afraid of things getting out of hand.

"First come, first served! This ship belongs to our Liberation Army! Naturally, we'll investigate first!"

The other person was a tall, thin man with long blue hair tied back, who appeared extremely anxious.

"No, we'll prioritize that investigation."

"Don't mess around."

Are you trying to cause trouble?

Neither side would back down, but Lin Yan saw it as a joke; these two clowns were doing something foolish.

Asuna pondered for a moment and then said, "That ship is an immovable object, isn't it?"

"In theory, yes."

"Is that also an indestructible item?"

Asuna asked again.

Lin Yan's lips curled into a wicked smile. While the two groups were arguing heatedly, Lin Yan walked towards the Phoenix Tail Boat.

He executed the maneuver smoothly.

The two arguing individuals were completely dumbfounded, and Lind, the leader of the blue team DragonKnights, shouted loudly.

"you……"

"Details about the shipbuilding mission will be published in the [Strategy Guide], so please look forward to it," Lin Yan said jokingly. Publishing it in the [Strategy Guide] was Asuna's idea, but Lin Yan didn't care about the details. He was mainly interested in seeing the two guilds acting like clowns in a fit of rage...

interesting.

"Actually, I've been thinking about a question for a while."

As the phoenix-tailed ship disappeared from their sight, Asuna suddenly spoke up, "Shouldn't a swordsman like me focus more on speed than defense? After all, those defensive skills..."

0072 Personal guidance, complicity [Please subscribe]

Crab roe stewed with rice noodles.

Those who prefer strong flavors can choose spicy crab, stir-fried crab, etc.

This is related to Lin Yan's identity in the real world. After all, as a person from Yan Kingdom, he has a long history of studying crabs and has come up with all sorts of ways to eat them.

……

Friday, December 23, 12:15 a.m.

To test her new armor, Asuna went to the wilderness, while Lin Yan guided her in battle.

"Attack from the right, speed."

"Watch out for flames."

"Left side."

"jump."

"Fall back."

Asuna was already very familiar with these commands and could tell how to respond from the brief instructions.

The two cooperated tacitly.

The current enemy is Scuttle.Crab, an unexplored monster in the water maze.

Its entire body is nearly ten meters long, and its jaws are wide open like a giant mouth with fangs.

"Lower thrust."

Lin Yan shouted, and Asuna responded simultaneously, instantly reducing the monster's HP to 40%. At this moment, Asuna didn't relax, but launched a new attack.

The red carapace turned into blue polygons, and the monster immediately collapsed.

"Won."

Asuna wiped the fine beads of sweat from her face, which was slightly flushed. However, her overall demeanor remained quite calm.

Ten hours later, Lin Yan and Asuna discovered a large, suspicious phoenix-tailed ship.

Of particular interest was a man dressed as a warrior, equipped with a slender curved sword. He was tall and thin, wearing dark gray leather armor, and his face was hidden behind a mask.

Asuna pondered for a moment.

"It looks familiar."

"Fallen elf".

Lin Yan said in one breath.

A fallen elf.

The Fallen Elves are the descendants of those who were exiled before the ancient earth was severed, who attempted to obtain bodies that would not be harmed by blades through the power of the Sacred Tree.

They are adept at using underhanded tactics such as poison, traps, or deception.

Especially the leader Fallen.Elven.Commander, even with the help of the elite knight Kizmel, it would not be easy to defeat him.
