Lyfa and Asuna have recently improved the proficiency of a bunch of related skills due to doing various chores, and their parameters have also been improved.

Sometimes, they can also receive entrustments from Orochi officers to hunt down monsters from other factions, so as to exercise their proficiency in combat skills and earn experience points. If there is any trouble, it is that the equipment cannot be updated, so they use the loot from the monsters as much as possible.

Their comprehensive improvement during this period of time has almost reached the level where the initial players can single-handedly challenge the elite monsters around the boss on the first floor.

"Leafa, what do you think, there is nothing dirty here, so where do these stains that will appear after a while come from?" Asuna asked Leafa for a moment.

"Even in reality, the place where it has been left for a long time will accumulate dust, right? My dojo is very time-consuming to clean. My brother has not practiced kendo for two years, and he still comes to help every time. I think the stains here are already very serious. Forget it, after all, they throw all the broken things everywhere, and they will all shatter and disappear in the end," Lyfa said.

"If Thousand Snake City becomes a reality, what will it be like?"

"No, the monsters we and they knocked down will leave corpses. There are so many snakes, and they don't have their own toilets, this..."

"I see, don't talk about it. It's true that cleaning is much easier than in reality, even cooking."

"Ah, after all, Asuna has been tasked with cooking them. How do they taste?"

"It's very similar to people. Some snakes even have teeth that are not much different from people. Maybe the SAO production team cut corners."

"After all, this is a legal game at the beginning, and the impact must be considered. It would be disgusting to make the monster's mouth too realistic."

"That's right."

"Dangdangdangdangdang..."

After a rapid bell, the serpent soldiers were ready to take them back to the cell.

They knew that this was someone who had come to challenge Thousand Snake City again, but they were not sure about the situation and could not judge whether to try to escape, so they obediently went back to the cell.

As expected, it was one of several routines to unfold afterwards. The blue-faced Orochi general in golden armor came to the cell, said that the battle was tight, and asked them if they would accept the mission of hunting down the enemy in the designated area.

But there is also something quite unexpected—

"Who is the enemy this time? If you are playing...human race, let us refuse."

After Asuna finished speaking, General Orochi raised his eyebrows and said, "Be happy, swordsmen of the human race, we know that you and Liusla are joining hands to fight against the Fairy of the Forest. The enemy who is coming this time is the Fairy of the Forest. Will you accept it?"

"Eh?" x2

Both Lyfa and Asuna were very surprised. They had previously accepted the large-scale epic mission of "Elf War" with Kirito. After completing a large number of plot missions in a row, they had defeated the forest fairy for many times. During this time, Kirito He should also help the dark elf, the elf of the forest should already be at a disadvantage.

Considering that SAO's plot missions are very logical, where does the Forest Fairy deploy extra troops to be hostile to other races?

"By the way, let me tell you one thing by the way. Lyusla has been wiped out, and the dark elf king Darkneluf has also been beheaded. This is a good opportunity for you to take revenge."

"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!"

"Then... what happened to Kizmel!"

"I don't know about this, but the dark elves didn't all fight to the end. One army seemed to break through with something that the elves of the forest couldn't get. There may be dark elves surviving in places that were not affected by the decisive battle. What you said It is not known whether that person is among them." General Orochi said, "So, have you made a decision?"

The task panel was updated, and a dialog box "Do you want to join the Thousand Snake City to defeat the Forest Fairy? YES/NO" appeared in front of each of them.

In any case, the Fairy of the Forest, who had completely become an enemy just over a month after the death game started, still had to fight, and they clicked "YES".

But unlike in the past, General Orochi did not take them to the war zone where it was not easy to get out of Thousand Snake City itself, but led them to a nearby warehouse.

"The situation is urgent this time, and no combat power can be spared. You are allowed to choose new equipment." He said.

This warehouse looks ordinary, with all kinds of weapons and armor neatly displayed in different areas, but if these are not stickers, players will definitely shout "Baoshan!!"

Asuna and Lyfa were stunned for a moment, but they were not polite, and immediately went to choose equipment.

After a long time, they realized that the attitude and quality of doing handyman tasks in Thousand Snake City and the attitude of talking with Orochi were recorded, and decided whether this plot would be triggered.

Asuna and Lyfa tried for a while, but they didn't choose the weapon with the largest value but it was not easy to use. Instead, they chose weapons with similar feel but stronger than the previous main weapon, named "Heroic Sword" and "Snake Samurai Sword". Then there was a little drama on the issue of armor—

Asuna: "Is he watching us change clothes here?"

Lyfa: "... Asuna, just swipe a few times on the equipment bar and you can change your outfit with one click."

Asuna: "It's a matter of mood. But here are all black or red Japanese style armor."

Lyfa: "Thousand Snake City is the main theme of the samurai, black... Brother will definitely dance here."

In the end, Asuna chose a light short hakama with an AGI-enhancing effect and a costume with light armor, while Lyfa is an armor similar to a kendo suit in reality, but she doesn't wear a helmet that interferes with her vision because of her combat habits.

"Walk."

"Um."

They followed Orochi General into the internal passage, and came to the exit—or equivalent to the exit of some monsters gushing out for players, just in time to see a large number of forest fairies fighting with Orochi soldiers.

There are many traps in the home of the maze~lightnovelpub.net~ But the average strength and cooperation of individual soldiers is even better than the Fairy of the Forest.

From time to time, elites like the "Guardian Orochi" fell early.

"What's going on? They still have more than half of their HP left!" Asuna said in shock.

"Look, the abnormal state that I have never seen before may be caused by those Forest Fairy archers behind!" Lyfa pointed to some Forest Fairy archers in the enemy's back row who were using somewhat curious arrow shapes.

"If Kizmel or Kirito are here...but we have to judge for ourselves now."

"We didn't fight for my brother's protection."

It took them half a minute to activate [Meditation], and then immediately gripped the new weapons in their hands, and launched an assault on the Forest Fairy Army, which was currently full of red cursors.

Rationally speaking, the fairies of the forest have hit such a deep place, and the best time for them to escape is now, but, intuitively, they will definitely regret doing so.
