Rozen didn't turn his head to look at Argo when he heard the voice of the intelligence dealer next to him.
"Didn't I tell you that this is not your vending machine? You're not a member of our guild, so don't order anything you want?"
So Rozen rolled his eyes at Argo.
"Don't be so stingy, really." Argo said with a smile: "As a beta tester, you can't just take care of the guild members. You have to give us, who are still alone, some benefits."
"Come on, I'm not obliged to take care of all the beta testers. All the supplies here are bought with the guild members' operating funds." Rozen said mercilessly: "You want to eat and drink without joining us? You're dreaming, aren't you?"
"Well, it's my fault for being an information broker." Argo replied nonchalantly, "My target audience is all players. If I work for a single Guild, with the intelligence gathering abilities of the bottom-tier and middle-tier players, it's only a matter of time before they fall behind the top-tier players. At that time, it'll be difficult for new players to join the clearers. Please understand."
"You …" Rozen was helpless.
"Let's not talk about this." Argo said sternly: "You saw it, right? King Ya's Aincrad Liberation Squad is no more than a guild in name. "
Rozen nodded when he heard Argo's words.
After the first floor of Aincrad was cleared, the second floor was also conquered in just ten days. By the time they reached the third floor, the top Players gathered in the frontline had their eyes on the establishment of a guild one by one.
At that time, Rozen, relying on his knowledge and intelligence from the beta testers, led the beta testers to complete the guild creation quest, making Red Wings the first guild to be established in the entire server.
Aincrad Liberation Squad was right behind them.
The founder of the guild was none other than King Ya.
After experiencing Diabel's betrayal, the one-handed swordsman didn't seem to fall into despair. Instead, he gathered a group of Players and created the guild Aincrad Liberation Squad.
As a result, as the second guild to be successfully established, Aincrad Liberation Squad, led by King Ya, naturally became an indispensable member of the Clearers.
Due to the guild leader's behavior, the Players in the guild naturally didn't have a good impression of the beta testers. They often argued with Red Wings during the Clearers' meeting on each floor. If it weren't for Rozen's ability, King Ya would definitely want to be the Clearers' leader.
Of course, Red Wings and Aincrad Liberation Squad weren't the only ones in the Clearers' team. There were also other guilds in the Clearers' team, so the number of Players participating in the Clearers' Raid far exceeded the 60 Players on the first floor.
It was thanks to this that the clearers were able to clear the floors one by one, reaching the 26th floor in just four months.
It was a great surprise.
After all, even during the two-month closed beta, the Players only managed to clear the 10th Floor.
Therefore, it only took them four months to clear the 26th Floor, which was definitely better than the closed beta.
Even though there were still a total of 75 floors that needed to be cleared, with the speed of clearing 25 floors in four months, it would take another year to completely clear this game. But at least it wasn't like before, where there was no hope at all.
The Clearers gradually began to have confidence in the Clearers' ability to clear the game.
However, too much confidence also hurt the Clearers.
"Once the sense of crisis is gone, people will start to think about the gains and losses."
Rozen said while taking a sip of wine.
"The Clearers are composed of multiple guilds and other top Player Teams, and they aren't united."
Since they weren't of one mind, the Clearers naturally began to make wild guesses when they lost their sense of crisis.
"For example, even if they don't rely on other guilds, they can clear a Floor on their own. At that time, not only can they take the opportunity to promote their guild, expand the guild's scale and strength, but they can also monopolize the Exp, Cor, dropped items, and even LA rewards from the Floor Boss."
Rozen whispered as if he was talking to himself.
"There's no need to say anything more about the result."
That was the root cause of the Aincrad Liberation Squad's demise.
Argo also had a deep understanding of that reason.
"I can only say that King Of Ya is really unlucky."
That was all Argo could say.
King Of Ya was indeed unlucky.
Compared to the previous floors, the 25th floor had a qualitative difference. It was the biggest test for players since the first floor.
In the past, when they cleared a Floor and went to the next Floor, although the monsters there were definitely stronger than the previous Floors, they weren't strong enough to give the Clearers a headache.
For example, in the 1st Floor's labyrinth Area, the average level of the monsters was only 6, and the average level of the monsters in the 2nd Floor's labyrinth Area was less than 10. For the Players whose average level was above 10, it wasn't a problem at all.
However, the 25th Floor was different.
When the Clearers arrived at the Main Street from the 24th Floor, they activated the Teleportation Gate and exited the Safe Zone. Just as they were about to enter the Labyrinth Area as quickly as they could, an abnormally powerful monster suddenly appeared in front of the Clearers. The Clearers were stopped in their tracks.
Even though they were just ordinary monsters in the Safe Zone, these monsters were much stronger than the monsters in the 24th Floor's labyrinth Area. The Clearers who were careless directly fell to the ground.
But that wasn't the worst part. The terrain of the 25th Floor was as complex as a labyrinth, which made it extremely difficult for them to record the map.
Under such circumstances, not to mention going to the labyrinth area, even going to the next town became extremely difficult. There were also a bunch of poisonous swamps and other terrain traps. If Rozen wasn't there at that time and gave timely instructions and guidance, it would have definitely led to the death of those people.
However, because Rozen was dealing with this extremely difficult situation, there was a guild in the Clearers who came up with an idea.
"Let's leave the situation here to the others. We'll go straight to the labyrinth Area and take down the Floor Boss!"
The guild that came up with such an idea was none other than the guild created by King Of Ya, Aincrad Liberation Squad.
And King Of Ya, under the instigation of his guild members and deceived by some fake information, led his own guild members into the labyrinth Area and entered the Floor Boss' room.
And then … there was no then …
By the time Rozen received the news and arrived at the Floor Boss' room, more than half of the Clearers had already died in the hands of the 25th Floor's Floor Boss, which was also much stronger than the 24th Floor's Floor Boss.
The Floor Boss' room was still echoing with King Of Ya's resentful cries.
After that, Rozen led the Clearers to go through a lot of hardships, and after several twists and turns, they managed to keep the record of clearing the Floor Boss without any losses.
However, in order to save everyone's lives and keep the record, Rozen also tried his best.
"If King Of Ya wasn't so reckless, we definitely wouldn't end up like this, right?"
