Diabel asked.
They were already on the way to the BOSS strategy, so no one would hide this information this time. Therefore, the six captains communicated with their team members one by one and came up with an average level.
Group A, level 15, Group B, level 16, Group C, level 15, Group D, level 16, Group E, level 14, Group F, level 19.
When Moyin, the captain of Group F, reported an average level of 19, all the attacking teams stopped in their tracks.
"Ahem, Mr. Moyin... It's the average level, right? Not the highest... player level among your team members."
Diaberu reminded that even though the highest level was 19, it was still scary enough.
“It’s an average level.”
Moyin replied with a smile.
"How, how could that be? Are you trying to say that all members of your team are level 19?"
Players like E questioned, are you kidding? Their average level is only 14... Isn't the gap between them and the Moyin team too big?
"That's not the case. The four of us are level 20, Kirito is level 17, and Asuna is level 18. Isn't the average level 19?"
The scene was completely silent. It had only been less than a month since the server was launched, and four people on Moyin's side had surpassed their level by 4 levels.
It is because everyone is working hard to level up that they understand that it is very difficult to level up in SAO. How did they suppress their levels to such a high level in such a short time? No one can guess the answer.
Is this the strength of a closed beta tester?
So a guess emerged in the minds of ordinary players.
"An average level of 19 is really reliable. I would like to ask Mr. Moyin to let your team serve as the main defense team. Is that okay?"
Diabel asked for a favor.
"I don't mind, but in terms of output, our group is the highest, right?"
"That's why you can't be on the attacking team. Once you go OT (the online game term for out-of-control hatred), no one can pull the hatred back. If you are on the defensive team, you can greatly increase the attack events and output limit of the attacking team."
Diabel began to explain.
"Really? Fine then, our Group F will be the first-tier defense team."
Mo Yin nodded.
"Secondly, there are several guards around the Kobold Boss who also need to be separated. There are three Kobold guards. I hope Team E can take on this cleanup mission."
Diaberu once again assigned tasks.
The BOSS's guards are naturally weaker than the BOSS, so it is understandable that they are handed over to Group E, which has the lowest average level. The players in Group E naturally have no objection to this.
"Next...wait, Mr. Moyin...it seems that none of your team members are equipped with shields?"
When Diaberu was about to continue assigning combat missions, he took a look at the equipment of the members of the Silent Silver Team and suddenly discovered a very important problem. . .
None of these six people have shields! How can they be a defense team? Although their HP and defense attributes should be the highest, it is ridiculous to be a defense soldier without a shield.
"Yes, I usually use this sword to block enemy attacks."
Moyin gestured to the bloodthirsty silver wolf behind him.
"...This is too much of a joke. A multi-level boss attack is extremely dangerous. According to my estimation, a person can only take three hits from the boss before falling into a near-death state. I hope you can equip the shields that my team originally had and take on the task of the defense team."
Diabel suggested.
"Even if you say so, we have no experience with shields. Wouldn't it be bad to fight with a fighting method we are not good at?"
Moyin asked back.
"...I understand. Then my original team B and D will be the main defense team. Your team F should follow my orders and control the output as much as possible... Don't play OT, otherwise you may cause the death of other players."
Diaberu said seriously that he didn't want any players to die, but Moyin... didn't look like someone who was easy to control, so he was a little worried.
"Why don't you just give the order for the attack and switch?"
Moyin shrugged indifferently. He didn't think that a first-level novice BOSS could push him into a desperate situation.
"I'll be relieved if you can truly follow my instructions."
"Everyone, the three groups with the highest levels, ABD, will serve as the defense group, and groups C and F will serve as the attack group."
"Once the health of the defense team members reaches the yellow danger zone, they will immediately switch with other defense teams and use recovery potions to recover. The attacking teams C and F will also switch as frequently as possible. Based on this battle strategy, we will fight against the Kobold Lord Irfang."
No one had any objection to Diaberu's proposal. After all, it was a safer way to attack.
"Well, regarding the distribution of spoils, the Kor obtained will naturally be divided equally among the participants, the experience will be gained by the group that defeats the BOSS, and the props will belong to whoever defeats it. How do you think?"
"No problem, just do it."
The players nodded one after another. After all, this was relatively fair.
"Well then, rest for half an hour before reaching the door of the boss room, and then we can officially start the strategy!"
"Ah."
An hour later, six groups of attack personnel arrived at the door of the BOSS room on the first floor, and then sat on the ground to rest.
"Moyin, Moyin, do you really want to let someone else take charge?"
Mi Zhou leaned close to Moyin's ear and asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong with that? If someone else does the troublesome work, won't it be easier for us?"
"But I want to show off! Let everyone know how great I am!"
"Then why don't you just hit me harder? Tell me what you are doing."
"Hey, well, why don't you throw a taunt later? That way I can output as much as I want!"
Mi Zhou started to encourage Mo Yin.
"No way. Why should I work so hard to output damage when I can just take it easy?"
"Hey, you are a god! Have some backbone. Isn't it embarrassing to be outdone by ordinary humans?"
"This isn't a formal competition. Keeping your skills hidden is also a talent."
"You've hidden too much!"
"Anyway, I plan to follow orders carefully. It's more fun to hide in the crowd."
"Their relationship is really good, are they a couple?"
Looking at Mogin and Mishu who were whispering, Kirito finally decided to talk to Asuna. After all, it seemed that Enju Aihara and RFB already knew Mogin, and he felt a little embarrassed to talk to them. It would be better to chat with Asuna, who also seemed a little distant.
"It seems like they are siblings... I haven't known Mi Zhou for long."
Asuna answered briefly.
"Forehead...."
Kirito didn't know how to continue the conversation for a moment.
The atmosphere between the two fell into an awkward silence.
"Okay, have you all rested? Now it's time to get ready and start the boss attack."
Fortunately, Diabel's voice quickly broke the awkward atmosphere.
The players all stood up and checked their recovery potions, tensing up.
After all, if they are not careful in a boss battle, they might die, and if they die, they will also die in real life.
Opening the door of the BOSS room, a burly kobold as big as a giant was holding a battle axe and a round shield, glaring at the players who broke into its territory with a ferocious look on its face.
Three smaller kobold guards holding round hammers stood in front of him.
A cold murderous intent enveloped all the players present. This was a battle of life and death!
"Everyone attack! Group B starts to attract aggro! Group C will attack the BOSS in ten seconds! Group E will separate the guards and kill them!"
Diaberu raised his one-handed sword, and the six players in Group B put their round shields in front of them and took a defensive stance as they ran towards the Dog-Head Lord Ilfang.
Faced with the players who were provoking him like ants, the Dog-Head Lord Ilfang swung his battle axe horizontally without any hesitation. The six players in Group B all maintained a defensive posture and were pushed back three meters before they could stabilize themselves.
With just one strike, the health bars of the six people dropped by ten percent, and the dog-headed lord Ilfang unceremoniously stepped forward with his strong legs to chase the six people in Group B who were holding up shields for defense.
"Right now, Group C!"
Diaberu gave another instruction, and the six members of Group C immediately rushed forward from the side and attacked the Dog-Headed Lord Ilfon with their weapons.
The players in Group B also stepped forward and placed themselves in a position that was convenient for the Kobold BOSS to attack. Naturally, Ilfang smashed the shield with another axe without hesitation.
Diaberu carefully observed the attack trends of the Kobold BOSS. As a commander, he needed to judge when the output group would be close to OT.
The reason for letting Group C go up first is that even if they go OT, as long as they are quickly withdrawn and allowed to intercept by Group F of Moyin, casualties will be avoided. After all, Group F has the highest average level and presumably has the most combat experience. Even if they really go OT, they should be able to hold out for a while under the BOSS.
This period of time was enough for him to mobilize the three defense teams ABD to attack the BOSS together. After that, as long as he stopped the output of team F, the hatred could be quickly regained.
Players in Group C will basically have the opportunity to use some simple one-handed sword skills, but that's all. After all, even if SAO's sword skills have a sword skill assistance system, it still requires a certain amount of talent to use them proficiently. Therefore, only three players in Group C can skillfully grasp the opportunity to use damaging skills.
Three minutes later, when the Kobold Boss glanced at a player in Group C, Diaberu immediately shouted.
"Group F switches to Group C!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Moyin and Mizhou had already used the three-stage slash to slide in front of the kobold boss, and then used the remaining two stages of displacement to move behind the kobold boss.
After completing the three-stage slash, Mi Zhou was stunned for a moment, while Mo Yin smoothly followed up with a cross slash and then an additional chop.
RFB, holding two daggers emitting green light, jumped in the air and landed on the right shoulder of the kobold boss. The two daggers pierced into the kobold's huge head like poisonous snakes. Then a poisoning sign appeared next to the kobold boss's health bar.
The fast-running Enju Aihara used her quick feet to get behind the kobold boss and kicked him in the knee. The kobold boss lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Kirito did not miss the opportunity when the BOSS was knocked down by Aihara Enju. He quickly swung out four sword lights and launched a horizontal four-way slash with full damage. The rapier in Asuna's hand also flashed a large number of sword shadows, and dealt six consecutive damage to the kobold BOSS.
The BOSS's health bar suddenly dropped by one third.
The cooperation of the six players from Moyin stunned the players from several groups for a moment. The special effects of the sword skills and the perfect cooperation of the six players perfectly interpreted what the art of combat is.
Just as the Gnoll BOSS was halfway up and was about to stand up, Moyin had already jumped into the air and swung his heavy sword Silver Wolf Bloodthirsty with a Mountain Collapse Strike, slashing at the Gnoll BOSS's waist with great force. At the same time, Lanyuan Yanzhu also jumped several meters high, and then stomped heavily on the back of the Gnoll BOSS with an Eagle Step.
Her exclusive skill, Instant Rabbit Kill, uses Strength*2 and Agility*3 to calculate damage and special attack effects. Combined with the attribute bonus of her silver suit, the knockback effect of this heavy stomp has reached an abnormal attack effect of around level .
Although the BOSS is quite resistant to abnormal attack states, the Gnoll Lord Ilfang is only level 15 after all. Facing the abnormal state attack equivalent to level 30 from Lan Yuan Yanzhu plus the knockdown effect of Silent Silver Collapse, he could only lie on the ground again in frustration.
Mizhou, Kirito and Asuna RFB naturally would not miss this good opportunity and added a set of combos that they could perform.
The Boss's health bar suddenly decreased rapidly, just like drinking water.
"... Good, so violent... He actually controlled the boss just by using the abnormal state..."
