With that said, the strategy meeting for the 26th Floor’s Field Boss began
Rozen and the rest of Red Wings’ members then stood at the center of the Clearers and said.
“How is the investigation go?”
This was a go-to question before every strategy meeting began.
Before holding a strategy meeting, obviously gathering as much information as possible was necessary to prevent any casualty. That was the job of the scouting team.
In SAO, the most important thing was neither level nor the equipment, but information. With sufficient information, Players could easily secure a highly efficient hunting grounds, obtained rare equipment, etc. Beta testers were a good example.
Rozen, who naturally wouldn’t ignore the importance of information, asked that question right off the bat.
The one who answered Rozen’s question was a solo player and Rozen’s acquaintance.
“We’ve secured at least the bare minimum amount of information, thanks to our scouting team, it’s easier than I thought.”
It was none other than Argo, the information broker who said that. She was already there before anyone realized it.
“This time, the Field Boss is not a humanoid monster, so it will not use Sword Skills, but it has a very tricky ability. The Field Boss will secrete adhesive substances all around its body. Players who are close enough to it will be instantly immobilized, and the only way to break free is by brute force. If the Players didn’t have high enough STR, they have no choice but to unequip their footgear unless they want to be stuck in place forever.”
Argo casually explained all the information that the rest of the Players didn’t know.
“In addition, this time the Field Boss is a tank type with high hp and armor, its attack power is also exceptional, but it’s very slow. It looked like an elephant, and it’s about three meters tall. Be careful of its trunk, though. It’s pretty fast; even a tank’s hp will be reduced by one-third if they got hit. Are you mentally ready for this?”
When I heard this, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“So it’s sturdy and packs a punch, but slow?”
Agil was deep in thoughts.
“Although it’s troublesome to fight, at least it’s safer.”
Klein also voiced his opinion.
“As long as we stay clear from the adhesive, and be careful of its trunk, then basically it’s not much of a threat, right?”
Kirito also nodded his head.
Among all types of monster, the Players feared the most was agile monsters. Although they had lower hp, they were hard to deal with, and avoiding their attack was much harder.
On the contrary, the tanky type monster might take longer to defeat, but at least if the Players were careful enough, they should be able to deal with it.
Rozen was the only one who wasn’t surprised by Argo’s information.
“As I said earlier, the 26th Floor will not be as dangerous as the 25th floor.”
Rozen casually fed both of his Rainbow Butterflies as he said that.
“In this case, let’s decide on the formation first.”
Right after Rozen said this, Zahad immediately interrupted.
