[Server Announcement: Game Time: December 3, 2022, 17: 28: 59, the fourteenth floor of Aincrad was conquered by the guild 'God of Strategy'.]
Over the next five days, Tang Hao led nearly a hundred guild members and once again set a record of seven consecutive victories.
Compared to the previous seven consecutive victories, this time it took more time, but it was not surprising. The higher they went, the stronger the boss was, and the more obstacles they had to face to reach the boss room. Sometimes, there would be traps and other things that needed to be considered. It was no longer a simple strategy of using other players to pin down the minions while Tang Hao killed the boss with one slash of Shura.
Even during this process, Tang Hao rarely used One Slash of Shura. Most of the time, he was in the position of a commander, trying to get other players to cooperate and kill the boss with their own strength. This was also to pave the way for the future confrontation with the Bone King. He must let these players get used to fighting as a legion as soon as possible … Of course, he was still the one who killed the boss in the end.
In fact, Tang Hao did not have much talent in commanding, but fortunately, there were a lot of talented people in the chatroom, such as Old Lady Purple … She used to lead the monsters in the moon war, and although it ended in failure, she had rich experience. With her voice controlling Tang Hao, and Tang Hao controlling the players with his voice, it was easy to deal with the boss in the game.
When collecting the loot, a squad leader walked up to Tang Hao and asked excitedly, "President, when will you use One Slash of Shura to kill the boss again?"
In order to facilitate the accurate execution of his orders, Tang Hao selected some outstanding players in the guild to serve as squad leaders. Each squad leader would lead several players, and according to the battle plan, they would be assigned to him, Kirito, and Asuna. This was also an important part of group battles.
"What, my command is not good?" Tang Hao asked with a smile.
"That's not it." The squad leader immediately shook his head, "Of course, President's command is excellent, it's like a seasoned commander, but I still want to see One Slash of Shura, that … it's so cool!"
"Next time then. Let's take a break first, we'll go to the next floor later."
"Alright!" Hearing Tang Hao's words, the team leader nodded happily, then ran back to his team to brag.
At this time, Kirito and Asuna walked over. Apparently, they heard what Tang Hao said just now. Kirito asked, "Do you still want to fight? The boss on the next floor should be level 35. "
Level 35, this was Tang Hao's current level, Kirito and Asuna were also at the same level, but the rest of the players were still far behind. Even after a long period of fighting, there were still a small number of players who hadn't even reached level 30. Asking them to challenge a level 35 boss was indeed a bit of a stretch.
"It's good to try." Tang Hao said. Although it was difficult, there would only be motivation if there was pressure. This kind of pressure was something that the players needed to get used to as soon as possible. Even if it really couldn't work, they could still choose to retreat.
Since Tang Hao said so, of course, the two of them didn't have any objections. They went to the corner and sat down to rest, then watched Tang Hao take out boxes of food from the air.
Now that there were more people in the team, it became a bit troublesome to provide food for them. So, Tang Hao couldn't be as extravagant as before. But every time he defeated a boss, he would still let the guild members have a good meal.
"Leader."
Just when Tang Hao was taking out the food, he suddenly heard a voice.
Tang Hao looked up and saw that it was a woman in her late twenties. She had good facial features and a pretty face. Although there was a hint of worry between her brows, she gave off a positive and cheerful vibe.
"Oh, Gurisoltan, what's the matter?" Tang Hao smiled. She was the female player who first joined him in the Crimson Moon Forest. Her combat power was not low, and she had a certain level of leadership skills. Coupled with her optimistic and positive personality, it was easier for her to unite the players around her. So, Tang Hao promoted her to a squad leader.
Gurisoltan shook her head. "It's not a big deal. It's just … about my husband. I haven't had the chance to, so I'm here to thank you."
"Uh …" Tang Hao was stunned for a moment. Before Gurisoltan noticed, he quickly hid it and put on a normal expression. "About this, you don't have to worry about it. Also, I'm sorry for your loss."
Regarding Guri Sertan, Tang Hao finally remembered who she was after interacting with her many times previously.
In the original work of Sword and Sword, Kirito and Asuna encountered a murder within the circle. The cause of that incident was Gurisoltan and her husband. In reality, Guri Sertan was a virtuous wife. After entering the game, she became more positive and cheerful, gradually developing in the direction of a strong woman. This caused her husband to feel dissatisfied. Then, out of strong possessiveness, he lost his mind and killed his wife. In the end, it led to the subsequent murders within the circle.
And now, because of the butterfly effect caused by his intrusion, that scumbag husband had died before Guri Sertan. It was really hard to predict what would happen in the world.
At least from Tang Hao's perspective, it was good that he died!
Of course, since the person was already dead, there was no need for Tang Hao to smear her husband's name. He quickly changed the topic. "Since you're here, do you want to eat with us?"
"No, I'm just here to thank you."
"That's fine. Then bring your team's share back." Tang Hao nodded and handed over a few food boxes. "By the way, call the other captains over and let them take their own food."
"Okay."
Guri Sauertan smiled as she accepted the food box and returned to her friends' side. Occasionally, she would chat and laugh. This fast-paced life, coupled with the encouragement and comfort of the people around her, had allowed her to gradually walk out of the sadness of her husband's death.
…
An hour later, everyone set off again and stepped into the fifteenth floor. After a total of three hours of hard work, they finally stood at the entrance of the boss room.
"Everyone, get ready!"
Tang Li had already said what needed to be said, so there was no need for him to waste any more time. After giving the order, they pushed open the boss room.
As everyone entered, the originally dark room gradually became brighter. At the end of the room, a tall figure stepped out. It was a knight in black, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right. Overall, he gave off a dark and terrifying feeling. Because inside the black armor was not a human or a SAO style monster, but a shriveled corpse.
When everyone looked at the boss, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
The players had even seen skeleton soldiers, so of course, they wouldn't be scared by a shriveled corpse. After all, no matter what, this was just a game. What really shocked them was the boss's level — level 40!
"How is this possible? The previous boss was only level 34! "
The levels of the bosses on each floor would occasionally jump. For example, the boss on this floor was level 20, and the boss on the lower floor might be level 21 or 22. But in any case, the two numbers 0 and 5 couldn't be skipped, and it was impossible to jump six levels in one go. This was simply breaking the common sense of the players.
"This is …"
At the same time, Tang Hao's expression also changed. How was this a boss of any level?
This guy — was clearly the Death Knight summoned by Bone King in Overload!
