I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

There is a passage like this in the message.

"【Just as I expected! Be careful...】"

This sentence was sent by Reagan before it could be edited.

Obviously, Reagan sent this message in a very urgent situation.

It was so urgent that it was sent over without even finishing editing the content, just to warn Leafa!

This made Leafa quickly try to reply, but Regen had actually gone offline and was not in ALO at all.

All these circumstances made Leafa feel more and more ominous.

"I'll go back to reality and call that guy to ask."

Having said that, Leafa went offline.

As for Asuna, she naturally needed to take care of the "body" left by Leafa here.

"It looks like something troublesome is going to happen."

Asuna seemed to have sensed something and sighed softly.

Although I don’t know what exactly happened, I think it shouldn’t be a trivial matter, right?

Combined with her previous inferences, Asuna believed that she was very likely to have encountered a major event related to the battle between wind elves and fire elves.

“I really don’t want to get involved in these things.”

If possible, Asuna really didn't want to get involved in these things.

In her opinion, the struggle between races is actually no different from the battle between monsters and clan members in the dungeon.

It's just that they won't really die in this world.

If you have the time, you might as well conquer the World Tree by yourself first. After you have flown enough, you can go and experience the struggles in those games. Maybe you will get some new experiences.

Sudden.

"------!"

Leafa, who had her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Leafa pursed her lips tightly, her expression was tense, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and annoyance, as if she was forced into a desperate situation, and her face looked very bad.

065 Leaked Intelligence

"The Wind Spirit is in big trouble!"

As soon as she came up, Leafa said these words to Asuna.

The cause of the incident actually came from one thing.

"As I mentioned before, the wind elves and cat demons are planning to form an alliance recently."

While running forward, Leafa explained to Asuna.

According to Leafa, the day the covenant was signed is actually today.

"In about forty minutes, the wind elves and cat demons will formally sign an alliance in the neutral area. For this purpose, the lords of the two races will travel in a highly confidential manner, with only a limited number of their trusted followers to meet."

But the news leaked.

Leaked to the Fire Spirit by Sigurd.

"Just as you said, Sigurd has long since betrayed the wind elves and colluded with the fire elves."

When she said this, Leafa gritted her teeth.

This is what Reagan discovered.

Reagan had discovered before that Sigurd would secretly meet with some people from time to time and talk or trade with them.

For this reason, today, Reagan quietly followed Sigurd and met the person Sigurd was meeting.

Those people are the fire elves.

Sigurd told the fire elf the information that the wind elf and the cat demon were about to conclude an alliance, and also revealed the venue and time of the meeting.

Thanks to this, not long ago, the fire elves had organized a large army and headed to the covenant site to prepare to attack the lords of the two races.

"This way, we can not only prevent the two races from forming an alliance, but also prevent the lord from being killed because of the wind elves leaking the information. The cat demons will definitely not give up, and in the end, it may develop into a war between the wind elves and the cat demons, which is what the fire elves want to see."

Who makes the Fire Elves the largest force in ALO?

If the wind elves and cat demons unite, this force will be reversed.

Therefore, they will definitely stop this alliance.

"In addition, killing the lord of another tribe can get a very high reward. Not only can you unconditionally obtain 30% of the other party's funds stored in the lord's hall, but you can also make the territory fall into an occupied state within ten days. The occupier can collect taxes freely. This is also a very large amount of money. The reason why the fire elves have become the largest force is not only because they have been accumulating wealth in a barbaric way, but also because they set a trap and killed the earliest lord of the wind elves."

For this reason, generally speaking, lords will not go to the neutral area. In the history of ALO, a lord was killed only once.

But this time, the opportunity is quite rare.

"If they kill the lords of the two races, they will definitely be able to obtain a considerable amount of funds this time. By then, no one in ALO will be able to threaten the Fire Elves anymore."

These great benefits made the Fire Elves determined to succeed in this operation. They have now organized the strongest troops and headed for the alliance venue.

Reagan discovered this.

However, he was not able to notify them in time.

Because he was discovered immediately and paralyzed by the paralysis poison, he was unable to move. He had to log off and find a way to notify Leafa.

That's how Leafa found out about this.

And obviously, Leafa wanted to stop this.

For the wind elves!

Although Leafa does not have a strong sense of belonging or closeness to the wind elves, and does not feel any pain even if she leaves the territory and becomes a traitor to the territory, that does not mean that Leafa does not care about the wind elves at all.

After all, there were many people that Leafa knew in the Wind Elves' Territory, and they were her stories in the game.

Lord Sakuya was someone Leafa respected very much. It was impossible for Leafa to watch her being killed and the wind elves to go on the road of decline.

Not to mention, if this incident really happened, the wind elf would have to become enemies with the cat demon, which was also something Leafa didn't want to see.

Therefore, Leafa had to stop it no matter what.

Now, Leafa only hoped that she could be the first to notify the two lords to leave before the large group of fire elves arrived at the meeting site.

It's a pity that Leafa's unrestrained personality in the past made her not register Sakuya as a friend, and even the cadres of the Wind Elves' Executive Department were not registered. It can be said that there is almost only Ragen in the entire friend list. Well, now, at least there is one more Asuna.

The wind elves were in such a state, not to mention the cat demons. Leafa hadn't registered a single one, so even if she wanted to send a notification via message, she couldn't do it.

And in reality, Leafa didn't even have the contact information of the lords.

Therefore, Leafa had no choice but to go to the meeting in person.

"Where is the meeting place?"

Asuna asked as she ran.

"The Valley of Butterflies."

Leafa responded immediately.

Asuna immediately opened the map and started checking it.

Alpheim was surrounded by eight regions with nine races, but the center was surrounded by the ring of mountains that Asuna and Leafa were crossing. It was like a basin, separated from the outside world and became a neutral independent area.

If you want to enter this neutral zone from the outside, you either have to go through the cave corridors in the mountains like Asuna and Leafa and endure the impact of the harsh environment, or you have to enter through the gap in the mountains.

There are three large gaps in the circular mountain range, through which people can fly directly.

The first one is the gap facing the fire elf territory——【Dragon Valley】.

The second one is the gap facing the water elf’s territory——[Rainbow Valley].

The third one is the gap facing the cat demon’s territory——[Butterfly Valley].

The talks between the wind elves and the cat demons took place at the exit inside the Butterfly Valley.

This is also to prevent either party from killing each other, so they cannot enter the territory of the other race. Otherwise, according to the system settings, people of another race enter the territory of another race, and they will not be able to attack the players of the race in this territory. On the contrary, the players of the race in this territory can unilaterally kill the players of other races, resulting in a situation where both parties dare not easily step into the territory of the other party, and can only hold talks in a neutral area. Otherwise, the fire elves will not be able to seize such an opportunity.

Because of this, the place Leafa wanted to go now was the Butterfly Valley.

"After passing through this cave and entering the neutral area in the center, just fly towards the cat demon's territory."

Leafa bit her lip as she ran at top speed with Asuna.

"I hope we can get to the venue before the large group of fire elves arrives."

066 The Lords of Both Sides

If there is no way to do it, then Leafa will have to fight against the large army of fire elves together with the wind elves and cat demons.

The odds of winning are very low.

For the sake of safety and confidentiality, both parties requested that during the talks, not only must their tracks be concealed, but each side can only bring a small number of players to serve as guards. The total number of players on both sides is estimated to be only fourteen.

On the other hand, since the fire elves have sent out a large force, even if it is just an elite force without small novices, the number is definitely more than fifty.

Facing such an army, even if Galifa was alone, there was absolutely no chance of winning.

Unless Asuna takes action.

Thinking back to when Asuna had led him to slaughter a horde of monsters before, even defeating a 20-man squad of fire elves with ease, perhaps this kind of strength could turn the tide.

Not to mention, Leafa knew exactly what kind of person this girl next to her was.

One of the strongest players in SAO, the planner of the strategy group, the manager of the strongest guild (actually just a tool man), and the one who finally cleared the death game that everyone tried to avoid.

Her abilities, if placed in ALO, are not inferior to any other player or lord, and are even far superior!

To be frank, for Asuna, who cleared SAO, saved thousands of people, and never experienced failure in that death game for two years, this game is just a game.

After all, SAO won't give losers a chance to start over.

Once you die, you are really dead.

With Asuna's intervention, Leafa believed that this major crisis could be overcome smoothly.

"In that case, prepare to sprint and don't waste time."

Asuna suddenly reached out her hand, grabbed Leafa who was running beside her, and hugged her without hesitation.

"Whoa!"

Leafa cried out in surprise, and when she realized that she was being held in Asuna's arms, her face turned red.

“You…you…!”

Leafa blushed and spoke in a bewildered manner.

"Hold tight."

Asuna shook her gently and adjusted the position of Leafa in her arms. She said nothing else and just asked her to hold her tightly.

To be honest, Asuna doesn't have much experience of being carried like a princess. Normally, she is more accustomed to carrying others on her back.

However, in this situation, Leafa would definitely not agree to be carried on his back, so he had to use the rarely used method of carrying her like a princess.

"Eh?"

Leafa let out a surprised cry.

next moment……

"Bang~!"

With a loud bang, Asuna shot out like a rocket.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!”

Leafa's scream suddenly turned into a long shriek, echoing in the cave.

............

Alpheim, Valley of the Butterflies.

This is a valley with beautiful mountains and clear water.
