226 Planning their next moves (1/2)

...

On a forest not far too far from the thirteenth fallen outpost.

Black Hand couldn't help but do a double take at Shin as he couldn't believe how skill was how skilled was this guy at commanding team that he was not familiar with. What's more, his commands were very simple and very easy to understand, and that was why most of the members of his team the Eternal Hope Adventurer Team were able to execute it properly.

In fact, Black Hand pretty much didn't do any commands when they were breaking through the swarm of corrupted monsters. All of the commands were made by Shin.

And what left Black Hand in awe the most was Shin's flexibility at commanding. The goal of their formation and movements seemed to be quite basic and simple at the first look. But when he took a closer look at it, that formation was actually had some complexity in it. That formation involved attacking, defending, supporting and moving forward.

What's more, there were also some thief-related classes around them that could appear from time to time while stunning the monsters that were going to charge at them. And if ever those guys failed to stun a single one, Shin was able to spot it almost instantly. And when that happened, he would order the Archers and Musketeers to shot those monsters down before they even managed to get near them and messed with their formation.

That kind of quick decision and on-the-spot reaction was quite amazing. If it was Black Hand, he was sure that he couldn't do better than Shin. Or at least, couldn't give that kind of commands as quick as him; and there were even some monsters that might get pass his notice and messed up the rhythm of the formation a little.

'Tsk! This guy is really good,' thought Black Hand on himself as he evaluated Shin's strength.

And while he was having that long train of thought, S.Tigris suddenly walked at him and said. ”So, what do you think about that guy? How good is strategical ability?”

Then Black Hand replied at him almost instantly. ”Good! Extremely Good! That guy is really skilled at making good decisions. Those strategic skills that he shows us in the meeting earlier may be some theoretical skills that he has, but what his show us earlier is something else. His strategic and quick thinking is really top notch.”

”So, you still take him as a Strategic type of General, huh?” said S.Tigris after hearing that. Then he immediately added after a brief pause. ”But I can't blame you for that since all of the plans that he has shown to us is really a strategic way of thinking. What's more, you are a similar type of commander so it is understandable.”

Black Hand was confused at first but as be heard the latter part of what S.Tigris had said, he immediately understood what he meant. ”Are you telling that he is an instinctive type of commander than a strategic one? And everything that he did is based on his instincts? But-!...”

Black Hand suddenly paused for a moment as he was slightly taken aback when he got a what S.Tigris was implying. Then he spat three words out. ”A hybrid type?”

…

Meanwhile, the man in question was obviously not aware to what Black Hand and S.Tigris were talking about. And he was currently talking with Simba and the others.

”So, what is our next plan?” asked Hayden as he tried to catch his breath from being exhausted from the previous intense battles.

And the one that answered him was Revier. ”Obviously, were need to recover ourselves as soon as possible and repair our equipments.”

Then Shin suddenly chimed in. ”How much time do we have before that monster horde attack the Holy City?”
