Laughing Coffin (Smiling Coffin) can be said to be the guild that all players in the SAO game are least willing to encounter. All members of this guild have orange names, and each of them carries at least one life on their hands. There are thirty-three members in total, and each arm is tattooed with a symbol similar to the guild's name—a twisted smiley face carved on the black wooden coffin.
This group of people can be said to stand at the top of all criminals in SAO, and the leader among them is POH, who has the ability to rival the top players in strategy battles. In other words, it can be said that the existence of the Smiling Coffin was created by him alone.
The most eye-catching one is a statement from POH: "Since it is a death game, it is natural to kill people. Enjoy the game happily. This is the right given to all players." It was these words combined with his superb gaming prowess and extraordinary verbal brainwashing ability that tempted and brainwashed a large number of players to serve him.
Le Yuan also had many friendships with them. Due to the second main mission, Le Yuan frantically searched for orange players. Naturally, among those arrested by him were members of Smiling Coffin. It was inevitable that Le Yuan and Their conflict begins.
On the twenty-seventh level of the guide, Le Yuan was targeted for the first time by someone from Smiling Coffin when he was at level 49. This time Smiling Coffin sent a total of three players, all of whom were above level 40. The ambush location is in the forest on Le Yuan's return journey.
As an orange-named player, the proficiency of the concealment skills of the three people ambushed by Smiling Coffin can be said to be among the top players. Although Le Yuan's enemy-spotting skills were not bad at the time, he was completely fooled by them. When Le Yuan entered the forest, Yuan then saw a broken sword stuck very conspicuously in the middle of the road.
Le Yuan looked around, and when he found no abnormalities in his enemy detection skills, he stepped forward and wanted to pull out his sword to check. However, before his hand came close to the hilt of the sword, he felt an unprecedented threat. Perhaps it was that inexplicable intuition that made Le Yuan Yuan felt trusted. Le Yuan did not choose to touch the hilt of the sword, but continued to move forward. At the same time, his vigilance was as high as ever.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh-" Suddenly the sound of sharp blades breaking through the wind came from behind him. Le Yuan turned sharply and drew an arc with the sword in his hand, knocking several short darts to the ground.
At the same time, Le Yuan's enemy-seeking skill finally discovered the attacker. Seeing that the attack did not work, the three people on the opposite side did not say much, turned around and left the scene. How come the first ambush ended in an anticlimactic manner. Le Yuan checked afterwards When the sword was broken, it was discovered that it was coated with paralysis potion, and the short darts also had a paralysis effect.
The strategy level is 43, Le Yuan is level 67. This was when Le Yuan got a text message from Argo and went to hunt down an orange-named robbery gang on the 36th floor. This text message could be said to have come very suddenly. Even Argo found the source of the information very strange. After Yuan's persuasion failed, he asked Le Yuan to bring the teleportation crystal.
This time, on the way to the coordinates, Le Yuan had to pass through a wasteland area composed of piles of rocks. At the same time as he entered this area, Le Yuan activated the enemy detection skill with a proficiency level of over 950. It can be said that in order to be able to To better complete the second main mission, he spent a lot of effort to improve this skill. Five minutes after entering the wasteland, he quickly discovered sporadic traces of hidden players as he went deep into the wasteland.
He immediately stopped as he was moving forward quickly, and shouted to the empty pile of rocks: "You guys are really well-intentioned. I'm already here, why don't you come out and meet me?"
No one responded, as if Le Yuan was just talking to Kongdi. Le Yuan sighed, then pulled out the sword from his back and pointed at a direction on the pile of rocks and said, "Don't underestimate me. My skills in tracking enemies are not in vain."
"Papa papa -" A burst of applause came from behind another pile of rocks, and then a man said in a low and hoarse voice: "Awesome, awesome, I should say that he is worthy of being the Bloody Executive Officer Le Yuan. It’s really well-deserved!”
When the man completely came out of the pile of stones, Le Yuan narrowed his eyes and said sternly: "It seems that Smiling Coffin values me very much. Even Johnny, one of the three giants, is here, but where is your president? I am very I want to compete with him!"
"Hahaha, you are indeed a master of the strategy team. Even when surrounded by others, you can be so bold and want to challenge our president, but it is a pity..." Johnny waved to the people around him and said: "I have no choice but to I treated you well with these brothers, I hope you will be satisfied."
As he spoke, Johnny rushed towards Le Yuan with the five subordinates around him. Le Yuan took out the teleportation crystal without haste and shouted: "Transfer! Mixie!" Le Yuan immediately chose to give up the fight and teleport directly. leave here.
In terms of the strength of both sides, Le Yuan's level is completely higher than that of everyone on the other side, but he cannot crush them in terms of attributes; in terms of combat skills, the group of orange players from Smiling Coffin are definitely on par with the level of the strategy team; in terms of numbers, Le Yuan It is an overwhelming disadvantage; more importantly, Johnny of the Big Three of Smiling Coffin is best at playing with drugs. If Le Yuan is not careful, he may really be tricked by him; the most critical point is that Le Yuan is not sure. Catch them without killing them, and Le Yuan is not planning to start an all-out war with Smiling Coffin now.
Smiling Coffin's second ambush failed under a teleportation crystal in Le Yuan.
Then came the fifty-fourth floor. POH and other three giants alone blocked Le Yuan in the maze. However, Le Yuan was lucky. He encountered Klein's Feng Linhuoshan who had returned from spawning monsters and successfully escaped from the siege.
Then came the fifty-seventh floor. This time Smiling Coffin did not take action directly but chose to lure a large number of maze monsters, and then transferred its hatred to Le Yuan in an attempt to make Le Yuan die from the monsters' heavy attacks. However, Le Yuan's method was beyond their imagination. First he threw an unknown potion bottle to the ground, and then the monster seemed to not see Le Yuan and rushed straight towards the player in the smiling coffin.
The last confrontation was in late July 2024. After the 68th floor BOSS was wiped out without casualties, due to a secret message revealing the location of the Smiling Coffin, the Knights of the Blood Alliance, the Holy Dragon Alliance, and Aincrad Elites from a series of guilds, including the Special Alliance Army, decided to unite to destroy the Smiling Coffin.
At the annihilation meeting, all fifty-five people invited were present. As the initiator of the extermination meeting, Heathcliff looked at everyone present and said: "Everyone, the Smiling Coffin has been a cancer of SAO for too long. It is time for us to solve this hidden danger. Regarding the truth about intelligence, Assuming that I have sent someone to confirm that there is no problem, do you have any questions?"
Tongzi suddenly stretched out his hand and stood up and said: "Captain, I would like to ask about the source of this information, and was it not discovered when we were exploring the location of Smiling Coffin? You must know that although the murderers did not want to admit it, they Undoubtedly the best among players, isn't it possible that..."
Heathcliff waved his hand and said: "Okay, Miss Tongzi, I understand your worries, but isn't now the best time? Although I am also surprised about the source of this information, we have to Action, Smiling Coffin, the poisonous snake hiding behind the strategy team, will become the biggest obstacle to our strategy of conquering Aincrad."
"Can I make a suggestion?" Le Yuan stood up and said.
Heathcliff unexpectedly nodded to Le Yuan and said, "Of course, anyone can express their opinion."
Le Yuan stood up and looked at the players present and said solemnly: "What I want to say is, I hope everyone will remain vigilant at all times. This eradication operation must have the determination to kill. The group of people in the Smiling Coffin were bewitched by PHO. Crazy, so don’t show mercy when necessary, Commander, that’s all I have to say.”
On July 22, 2024, fifty-five members of the strategy team secretly went to the location of Smiling Coffin.
As an orange-named guild, Smiling Coffin is completely unpopular. Therefore, the guild leader PHO arranged his station in a neutral canyon in the wild. It didn't take long for the players to sneak into the canyon during the strategy battle.
Suddenly, there was a loud killing sound, and two teams, one in front and one behind, surrounded the members of the attack team in the canyon. Under sudden attack, the team in the attack team inevitably became disordered.
More than 30 players from Smiling Coffin took the opportunity to rush into the strategy team, and the two sides fought together. Le Yuan looked at the person who jumped in front of him and blocked his way and said: "Johnny, do you still want to resist? You should have been reminded to come here to intercept, but you can't make up for the difference in numbers. Yes, surrender as soon as possible!"
Johnny laughed crazily, holding up the short knife with a strange green light in his hand and stabbed Le Yuan in the chest with a "sharp bite", "Clang--" Le Yuan blocked this intermediate thrust with a horizontal sword block.
"Stubborn!" Looking at Johnny who was stalking him, the long sword in Le Yuan's hand flashed with white light, and the three sword lights of the sword skill "Sharp Claw" were directed at three vital points on Johnny's body, forcing Johnny to He tried his best to dodge, but still took a hard hit and lost a third of his health to survive the attack.
Johnny pushed away from Le Yuan, grabbed a dagger with green light in one hand and threw it towards Le Yuan. The dagger drew a green line straight towards Le Yuan's heart.
Le Yuan used the momentum of his skills to avoid the blow with a sonic blast and at the same time approached Johnny. Just as Johnny was about to pour the potion into his mouth, Le Yuan slashed his left hand holding the potion with a sword from his right hand.
"Qiang—" Johnny sank down, and the dagger in his right hand barely held the sword in Le Yuan's hand. At this time, he had already begun to pour the potion.
Le Yuan's free left hand flashed with a white light, "Wrist Armor Stab!" Le Yuan used his physical skills and stabbed Johnny in cloth armor with his left hand.
"Wow -" Johnny spat out the potion in pain, and his health dropped instead of rising. Seeing that he was about to drop by one-third, Le Yuan took advantage of the situation and knocked the dagger out of his hand with a sword, and then pressed him hard. on the ground.
Although the Smiling Coffin's attack caught them off guard, the sheer numerical suppression completely defeated them. Although the Smiling Coffin's resistance was fierce, they managed to capture the Smiling Coffin, including two large ones, despite the loss of seven casualties in the strategy battle. Among the twenty-four people including the giant, except for the 11 members of Smiling Coffin who died in the battle, only one guild leader, POH, was missing.
The ever-popular Smiling Coffin died on this day.
