……
"Well, this combat operation was very successful. Let's take a break first."
After listening to everyone's report on the battle situation, Yuuki Asuna nodded.
"How can we call it a success if we haven't rescued the deputy leader yet?" a player said bluntly.
Hearing the players addressing Yushan Kazuto, Kvira suddenly gritted his teeth, and this little action happened to be seen by Yuuki Asuna.
"Kvira, please stay for a moment, I have something to ask you." Yuuki Asuna said.
"Captain Asuna, is there something wrong?" Kvira's heart trembled. Could it be that he was really discovered?
Noticing the change in Kvira's expression, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that Kvira's betrayal was almost certain.
"Let's go to the side hall and talk."
Yuuki Asuna was the first to walk into the side hall. Kvira didn't want to enter at first, but when he saw Tsuchima Mai staring at him from behind, he had to follow her in.
……
"Tell me, Kvira, what is your purpose?" Asuna Yuuki spoke after Doma Mai and Kvira walked into the side hall.
"Captain Asuna, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?" Kvira pretended to be stupid.
"Do you want me to say more? Kvira." Yuuki Asuna's tone became serious.
"You are the first elder to join the Order of the Rose, besides me and VNS. I really can't understand why you were bribed by Laughing Coffin."
"Why?" Kvira suddenly gritted his teeth.
Kvira's actions have been discovered, and he is surrounded by Yuuki Asuna and Tsuchima Yui. He has absolutely no chance of counterattack and looks like he has given up hope.
"Isn't it all for profit? Just like you guys who bribed the people at Laughing Coffin."
Kvira taunted
.
Yuuki Asuna blinked slightly. It seemed that Poh had already suspected someone of betrayal. This was good information.
"I also want to ask you two: Why, as the third person in the Knights Templar, I cannot become the vice-captain?"
"Why is it that that person, who was only in his twenties when he joined the group, was directly appointed as the second deputy leader?"
Kvira looked a little hysterical.
"His strength is obvious to everyone, Kvira, you should be able to see it too!"
Yuuki Asuna raised her voice.
"Of course I can see it! But can you see me? Ever since that man came, you haven't looked at me straight in the eye again!"
"I have been in the Knights for such a long time, but I don't even have a friend position with you. But that person can travel with you all day long. It really makes me jealous to the point of madness!"
"Not to mention! You even have an adopted child! In Aincrad, you can enjoy family happiness. Hahahaha, have you ever considered my feelings?"
Seeing Kvira's expression, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but take a step back. She didn't expect that Kvira would have such a deep resentment.
But at this time, Kvira was extremely nervous.
[Why, why hasn't that thing taken effect yet, did Poh lie to me? ]
With a "bang", Kvira flew onto the wall. It turned out that it was Tsuchima Yui who made the move.
Although she couldn't hear Kvira's voice, she could see Kvira's expression, which made her feel very dangerous.
Kvira was knocked into a coma. Tsuchima looked at Yuuki Asuna and said, "Asuna, do you smell anything strange?"
"It seems... a little."
Yuuki Asuna blinked. It was a strange fragrance that gave people a sense of danger.
Chapter 298: Asuna is in a bad state
"Have the Blood Knights arrived yet? Xing, this time it's all thanks to you."
Walking out of the side hall, Yuuki Asuna and Tsuchima Mai saw Xing who looked anxious. Xing was also assigned a task by Yuuki Asuna, and it seemed that she completed the task very well this time.
"Is the deputy commander okay?" Xing couldn't help but ask.
"Don't worry, he fell into the trap on purpose. His purpose was to completely eradicate the bad apples like Smiling Coffin."
"Captain Heathcliff and Kirito have already led their team to ambush in a high place. Once the members of our Rose Knights arrive, we can attack from three sides and completely eliminate the Laughing Coffin."
"Okay, I understand. VNS, I'm going to trouble you with that matter again." Yuuki Asuna said.
"I see. I'll be leaving first then."
Tsuchima nodded and left the Rose Knights alone. With her strength and agility, she didn't have to worry even if she was traveling alone in Aincrad.
"Xing, please tell Captain Heathcliff that we will set off immediately after a brief rest."
……
Smiling Coffin temporary station.
Taike was on patrol when he suddenly received a message.
Seeing the name of the caller, Taike couldn't help but look around vigilantly. After making sure that there was no one around, he clicked on the message.
"Pay attention to Poh's movements and restrict his actions."
"Poh has begun to doubt your identity, you'd better cooperate."
Tek blinked, looked around vigilantly again, and continued patrolling as if nothing had happened, but his heart was in turmoil.
He didn't know how the Rose Knights learned that he had been spared by Yushan and others. This was simply a handle that could kill him.
However, Taike knew in his heart that Poh was a very suspicious person. His lucky escape yesterday had aroused Poh's suspicion.
If Taike didn't have many friends, Poh would probably have attacked him directly, but even if he didn't, he could feel Poh's guard against him.
As long as there is a chance, Poh will definitely kill himself without hesitation, there is no possibility of escaping unscathed!
Poh even suspected that it was Tek who leaked the coordinates, but Tek also felt it was very strange. He had never exposed the coordinates at all. How did the Rose Knights find them?
[Forget it, now I can only pray that the Rose Knights' attack goes smoothly. ]
……
"President, the enemy is coming!"
"withdraw!"
Poh couldn't count how many times he said "retreat!" that day. He was either fleeing or preparing to flee.
In fact, in terms of positive power, the power in Poh's hands even exceeds that of the Rose Knights, but the individual strength and combat proficiency of the Rose Knights are too strong.
Before the Laughing Coffins could even organize themselves for a collective battle, the people of the Rose Knights had already wreaked havoc and left.
But Poh had no other choice, which made Poh feel particularly humiliated.
……
"President, the situation seems to be different this time." During the evacuation, someone suddenly said.
"Indeed. This time the Rose Knights are still pursuing us."
Poh also kept an eye on the movements of the Rose Knights. Judging from the posture of the Rose Knights, were they preparing for a head-on battle with him?
"There are not many of them. There is a deep valley area ahead. We will eat them there!" The expression of the Smiling Coffin became somewhat ferocious.
……
Four teams met and surrounded the Smiling Coffin. Poh had never imagined that he would face such a situation.
The Rose Knights have actually joined forces with the Blood Knights!
Of course, this is not the first time Poh has faced this situation. The first time the Smiling Coffin was forcibly breached, there were even more enemies.
However, this was definitely the most desperate time for Poh.
Because...Black Iron Palace!
Poh knew that if he couldn't escape this time, he would never have a chance to turn things around before SAO was completely conquered.
[No, I must leave. As long as the Black Iron Palace is still in my hands, I will have the opportunity to negotiate with the Rose Knights.]
At this time, Poh no longer cared about the members of the Smiling Coffin and just wanted to escape. A teleportation scroll appeared in his palm.
This teleportation scroll can randomly transport the user to any floor they have visited.
[Since there is a traitor, it is safer for me to be alone. ]
Looking at the two sides fighting, Poh clenched the teleportation scroll.
"President Poh, be careful!"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Poh subconsciously wanted to crush the teleportation scroll. Suddenly, a huge blue cube opened up in the sky, and the entire space was temporarily blocked.
"Tek, you are indeed a traitor!"
Poh knew that he was powerless to change the situation.
"President Poh, I can only choose to be a good person." Taike said coldly.
Poh was locked up, and the members of Laughing Coffin basically gave up resistance.
Most of them are not core members of Laughing Coffin, and if they are not controlled by others, they will never fight against the Order of the Rose and the Order of the Blood.
"President Heathcliff, this time...thank you for all this." Yuuki Asuna was talking, and suddenly she felt a strange feeling of heat all over her body.
feel.
"You're welcome." Heathcliff smiled.
"Asuna, the red-eyed Shaza is about to run away!"
Domama suddenly rushed out and pointed to the west.
If Kvira was a traitor, then Red-eyed Shasa was a spy, both of whom the Order of the Rose could not tolerate.
"Captain Heathcliff, let's go after Red-Eyed Shasa first. As for Poh, please help us control her." said Asuna Yuuki.
"Okay, go ahead." Heathcliff nodded.
Asuna Yuuki and Mai Tsuchima left, and Heathcliff walked into the blocked space and looked at Poh.
"Poh, let him out." Heathcliff said coldly.
"Do you think I'm a fool?"
Now, Poh’s only bargaining chip is the Black Iron Palace. How could he hand it over so easily?
"Then I'll have to trouble Ye Dao."
A short player walked out from behind, laughing, his fingers trembling constantly, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
"I'll leave this man to you. As long as you don't kill him, you can get the thing out of his hand."
……
"Senior Kazuto, you...you can come online now." Yuuki Asuna said while chasing after the red-eyed Shasa.
"I see." Yushan Kazuto said, "Asuina, why is your voice not right?"
"I... I'm... tracking down the red-eyed Shasa. You go online first... Kazuto... Senior."
"I see."
Yushan Kazuto put on NervGear and logged into SAO.
Chapter 299 Blurred
"It's finally out."
Yushan and others walked out of the Black Iron Palace prison, and in front of them were several people from the Blood Alliance Knights.
[Have Asuna and Umaru-chan gone after the red Sasa? ]
Yushan Kazuto frowned and said, "Hello, Captain Heathcliff."
"Hello, Deputy Captain Rose." Heathcliff nodded.
