Fire Elf's leader and his guild alliance had been eyeing Uji for a long time, or rather, Sleeping Knight.
There was no other way.
As early as when Yuji transformed into Absolute Sword and challenged all the Players on the 24th Floor with eleven consecutive hits, the Sleeping Knights led by Yuji had already encountered the Floor Bosses on the 25th and 26th Floor.
Although Uji and the others were defeated in the end, as a well-known large-scale guild that had been frantically clearing Aincrad's labyrinth area since the 23rd Floor, the Sleeping Knight's guild alliance had long noticed Sleeping Knight's amazing strength.
"Let's not talk about the 25th Floor, let's talk about the 26th Floor. Although Sleeping Knight's party was annihilated in the end, that's because they used up all their health potions. Otherwise, they wouldn't necessarily lose to the 26th Floor's Floor Boss."
The Fire Elf leader said.
"Although this guild is small in number, each of them is so powerful. If they can force the Floor Boss to the point of being defeated like before, it will definitely be a good thing for us."
Why?
The reason was simple.
"In order to defeat the Floor Boss, we must collect all the information about the Floor Boss, analyze its attack patterns and weaknesses, so that we can avoid being annihilated."
Just like during SAO's era, when raiding a Floor Boss, the Clearers also needed to send out a special scouting party to collect information about the Floor Boss, and then formulate a strategy to ensure a 100% chance of defeating the Floor Boss without any sacrifices.
Right now, although the new ALO was not a death game, once you died, you would still lose experience points. Moreover, the resources needed to conquer the game, such as potions and items, were also living money. If you still could not successfully conquer the monsters after using them and earn back the loss, then naturally the loss would outweigh the gain.
In view of this, starting from the 23rd Floor, Fire Elf Leader's guild alliance had been sending out special scouts to monitor the Players who challenged the Floor Boss, treating those Players as scapegoats. Meanwhile, Fire Elf Leader's Guild Alliance's Players used Steal Vision's dark attribute magic to attach a tamed monster on those Players to steal their vision and collect information about the Floor Boss.
In this way, they didn't have to lose Exp due to death, and they could also save a lot of items. It was killing two birds with one stone.
And Sleeping Knight's party's superior performance naturally caught their attention, and they became their scapegoats.
The 26th Floor's Floor Boss was actually obtained after the Sleeping Knight's army was annihilated. The guild alliance's members collected all the information about the Floor Boss, and after the Sleeping Knight's army was annihilated, they immediately rushed to the 26th Floor's Floor Boss and successfully defeated the Floor Boss.
This time, Uji caused such a big commotion on the 24th Floor's tourist island and invited Yasna to join them. It would be strange if they didn't notice.
In view of this …
"When I learned that Absolute Sword's guild was buying the 27th Floor's Labyrinth Area's map at a high price, and Absolute Sword also invited Berserk Mender to join them temporarily, I knew that they must be trying to defeat the 27th Floor's Floor Boss, unlike the previous two times. Not to mention, our people also witnessed Magician going in and out of the labyrinth area. Therefore, they must be aiming for the Floor Boss. Otherwise, they wouldn't make such a big move."
The Fire Elf leader sneered.
"Although I don't know what the Magician is planning to do by letting Berserk Tonk join another guild's party, it has nothing to do with us. As long as we can take down the Floor Boss, that's enough."
The Fire Elf leader felt that Uji must have found the Floor Boss' room.
He had reason to believe that Rozen's crazy exploration last night was to find the Floor Boss' room.
However, the Fire Elf leader didn't think that after Rozen found the Floor Boss' room and recorded all the map files of the 27th Floor's Labyrinth Area, he would give it to Sleeping Knight as a gift.
As the saying goes, measure the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain. Just like Fire Elf's Guild Alliance, who constantly collected information about the Floor Boss, they never imagined that Rozen didn't care about the reward and reputation of the Floor Boss and directly gave it away to someone else.
They only thought that Rozen did that to avoid their attention.
Since the 23rd Floor, the Fire Elf leader's guild alliance had clashed with Red Wings' Players more than once for the right to defeat the Floor Boss. Although the two sides weren't completely hostile, they were definitely enemies.
For this reason, the Fire Elf leader's guild alliance had always tried to trip up Red Wings' Players and compete with Red Wings for the right to defeat the Floor Boss, which made Red Wings' Players unhappy with them.
Of course, these people basically lost more than they won. Although the Floor Boss on the 23rd Floor was taken down by the Fire Elf Alliance, the Floor Boss on the 24th Floor was taken down by Rozen alone, which was a big slap to their face. Needless to say, the Floor Boss on the 25th Floor, in addition to the Fire Elf Elite Unit led by Eugene, the Fire Elf Alliance was also annihilated. As a result, it was Rozen who led the team to defeat the Floor Boss. It wasn't until the 26th Floor that the Fire Elf Alliance successfully defeated the Floor Boss thanks to Sleeping Knight.
The Fire Elf leader believed that because of this, Rozen had begun to be vigilant, fearing that they would trip up Red Wings on the 27th Floor. That was why he came to the labyrinth area alone to record the map, find the Floor Boss' room, and then entrust Sleeping Knight to defeat the Floor Boss to avoid the Fire Elf Alliance's eyes.
This also explained why Rozen dared to break the guild's taboo and send Yasna to another guild.
The purpose was to cooperate with them.
"However, I've seen through all of this. What a pity."
The Fire Elf leader was proud of this.
The Players in the Fire Elf Alliance also snickered one by one.
"They say that the Magician is not only strong but also very smart, but in fact, that's all there is to it."
"Do you think this kind of trick will work?"
"You think too highly of yourself."
"We'll just follow behind Sleeping Knight and let them lead the way to the Floor Boss' room, then kill them and defeat the Floor Boss."
"At that time, I'll see if Red Wings can still proudly claim to be the strongest guild in ALO."
These people were all making such arrogant declarations.
"Then, let's go."
The Fire Elf leader waved his hand and led the Fire Elf Alliance to rush into the labyrinth area.
However, they were going to be disappointed.
Because …
"Great people who have seen through all of this, why don't you tell me what makes you so confident?"
When such laughter reached everyone's ears, everyone, led by the Fire Elf leader, froze in place.
Immediately, a figure slowly walked out from the entrance of the labyrinth area.
