Chapter 52 – Superior Operating Techniques
Being a Ranger, Xi Tu An does not have a lot of health. But under the fact that control skills are not very effective on BOSS, with Xi Tu An's agility, the rate that his health drops is slow.
As this situation continues for a while, the party morale drops slightly.
”Take note of the pattern of the AOE skill. Everyone must avoid the skill. Tanks don't stand there like an idiot. Your task is to chase the BOSS and protect the healers at the back row.” Bai Song is not in a panic as he calmly directs the party. Xi Tu An belongs to the group of BOSSes that knows how to go after those people that are able to threaten him, as well as taunt skills affect him for a short duration only.
Bai Song just finished speaking when Xi Tu An suddenly disappeared. A second later, he appears among the clerics. With a free and easy slash of the throat, one of the paper clerics instantly dies.
At this time, a few of the large s.h.i.+eld bearers finally arrived and obstructs Xi Tu An movement s.p.a.ce. As Xi Tu An's Leap skill is still under CD and to avoid being restricted, Xi Tu An can only try to kill a few of the s.h.i.+eld bearers first, but under the support of the clerics, it is hard to kill them in a short time.
During this time, without needing Bai Song to remind them, all of them focus all of their attacks on Xi Tu An. The good thing is that there is almost no one who misses their attack. After all if they can miss such a restricted target, they will be the first to be expelled from the party.
”Everything will be okay as long as we dodge the skill properly. When we lure him in and when he cannot use his Leap skill, the s.h.i.+eld bearers must immediately block his path properly.” After Bai Song have finished talking about his battle tactics, thinking of those other commanders who raises the morale by saying something, Bai Song adds another sentence: ”As long as we fight steadily, we can defeat the BOSS.”
It is almost as if Bai Song words are very effective as everyone starts to calm down. Not sure if it is an illusion but the accuracy of the ranged combatants seems to be better.
Ghost Island nods his head slightly. In his heart, sprouts the thoughts of collecting talents as he faintly sees a shadow of a great general on Bai Song.
A guild, other than solid power, it needs an excellent commander to raise its fighting potential. A commander with very clear decision making is a rather decent commander.
A commander that can raise the morale of the people he leads is a worthy of the word excellent. Ghost Island clearly sees it from Bai Song. Although it is only a shadow, it is very precious.
It is really rare to find a young man who is neither arrogant nor impatient. When Ghost Island thinks to here, he shakes his head. Because will such kind of person makes his home in this small Spectral Guild.
[TL: young indeed, if you take his bone age that is.]

Actually this is Bai Song's first time being a commander. In the past, he did not become a commander. The main reason is because after watching for such a long time, he picked up a few commanding methods. Like the ancient saying: Long illness makes the patient a good doctor. Although this saying is perhaps not appropriate, but there is completely nothing wrong.
[TL: basically it means that the doctor will become very good at treating that particular illness. You can also say]
But Bai Song once walked down a path, the darkest and coldest path. A person who has walked the path before will never be confused again.
After Xi Tu An killed three clerics, his health was lowered until it could be seen by naked eye. One of the clerics that died already run back after reviving. Only two of the clerics in the entire party learned the skill Revive. There is no way of reviving a person using the skill because the moment they try to use the skill, they will definitely die.
The chant for Revive is quite long. When a cleric tries and revive a tank, it equals to one less healer supporting the group. Furthermore if the cleric got interrupted, his efforts will be wasted.
