Chapter 503: The Underestimated Captain
With their numbers, they soon cleared their way towards the captain . There were already hundreds of corpses left around Lost Rigger Cove, and they managed picked up some good equipment and materials along the way .


These elite monsters dropped Silver grade equips; it was no wonder why people said that pirates were rich .
Unfortunately, these were all level 35 to level 40 equips, so nobody was able to currently use them .
"Don’t go any further; we don’t know the range of the boss . Everyone, step back . Go around and clear the monsters from the other side; I’ll get closer to test his range," Lu Li instructed .
Based on game settings, every boss had a range . Under normal circumstances, a Boss wouldn’t attack you as long as you didn’t step into its range, even if it saw you or if you were killing its underlings .
To make the task of clearing monsters easier, it was a general rule of thumb to send someone to test the range of a Boss beforehand .
At this level, any classes besides defense classes would probably be instantly killed by the Boss .
However, Lu Li didn’t delegate this task to someone else . He could if he wanted to; most commanders won’t risk their own lives .
Lu Li slowly approached the captain .
As the distance between them shrunk, Andre Firebeard became more and more visible . He began to turn his vision in Lu Li’s direction . Finally, he yelled and raised his foot to charge towards Lu Li .


Lu Li had been keeping a close eye on the situation, and as soon as the boss saw him, he began preparing himself .
The moment Andre Firebeard charged over, Lu Li used his Gale Steps . Not only did he gain Stealth, but he also gained a movement speed increased . The boss unwillingly stopped his footsteps and cursed as he returned to his original spot .
If the distance was far enough, the Stealth effect of a Thief would cancel the aggro from a Boss . Lu Li also used his movement speed buff as an extra precaution .
He didn’t use the special effect on his boots . Since the effect was random, there was the probability of teleporting him forwards . That wouldn’t be running away – that would be committing suicide .
"We’re in the wild, so even if you are resurrected, you will still lose experience . I’m hoping that everyone will stay focused . Even if you have a death wish, don’t drag others with you . The safety distance is 36 yards . Everyone keep out of the 40-yard range . Anyone who attracts monsters before I start the fight will have 30 points taken off them . Three mistakes and you’ll be kicked out of the team as a substitute . "
Lu Li’s style as a commander was straightforward, but also forceful .
He didn’t think that he was the best commander, so if players under him were to fool around, there would be no hope for their victory .
Deaths in the wild came with a 10% experience loss, but resurrection within a certain amount of time could reduce this penalty by half . However, if they couldn’t wait until the healers left battle and had time, they would have to lose 10% .
Lu Li’s 10% was equivalent to one or two days’ worth of work .
Monsters within forty yards of Captain Andre Firebeard were cleared . The total number of these monsters was more than two thousand; only a guild would be able to clear out this many .


Of course, these monsters would refresh, so Lu Li instructed two teams of ten to be in charge of clearing them .

There were some monsters that remained within the 40-yard radius of the boss . Since these were within the aggro range, they would have to wait until the fight began to clear them out .
"Distribute the potions . Each captain should distribute the potions accordingly to their team members . Three minutes preparation time . After three minutes, everyone follow my command," Lu Li said as he scanned around . His tone was stable, almost to the point that it was cold .
Square Root 3 finally confirmed that Lu Li was normal; he hadn’t lost control because of what happened to his sister .
"Azure Sea Breeze tank . Monsoon, heal the tank . Hachi Chan, you’re also looking after the health of Azure Sea Breeze . If the tank dies, you two will be in question . God of Destiny, you’re the second tank . . . March Rain look after the health of the melee players . Alright, elite team nine and ten, once Azure Sea Breeze holds onto the boss, clear the monsters . " Following Lu Li’s instructions, the first wild battle of Ruling Sword began .
"The Captain is level 45, and has 350,000 health points . His normal attacks deal around 600 points of damage to me," Azure Sea Breeze said after he charged forward and the captain landed a blow on his head .
He was the main tank, so he needed to report the situation for his team members . This also made the situation easier for Lu Li to give instructions .
Just his normal attacks alone dealt around 600 points which was a surprising amount . Lu Li was a little confused – didn’t the thread claim that the captain was really weak and that he had died to a small guild?
He wasn’t thinking on the right path, so he forgot about the time .
The small guild had fought the boss a month later . At that time, the players mostly wore level 35 equips . Their level difference was also smaller, which made the fight much easier .
Lu Li also didn’t know about the exact details of the battle . The boss wasn’t an easy kill for the small guild, and only the guild would know how many players actually died in the fight .
"Darkness, go and heal Azure Sea Breeze . You two can make a combination; try not to over heal . Smoking Rain City, go and put down some mana totems for them…" Lu Li said, adjusting the distribution of the team .
Smoking Rain City was a Shaman form the elite team and his techniques were quite good .
He had come from the major guild Brotherhood, but what he had done to the executives of the guild remained unknown . After they entered Dawn, he secretly chose the Alliance Faction, standing on the opposite side of his previous contractor .
With two healer Paladins and a main tank, they were able to make it through the situation .
"Under my command . . . "
A shout appeared, but this command wasn’t from Lu Li . He was stunned, then saw the smoke that rose from the cannons of three ships .
"Damage reduction! Everyone use damage reduction!" Lu Li called out loudly .
This was a challenge of reaction time; not everyone made it in time to use their damage reduction skills .
The sound of cannons filled the air as shellfire rolled around and exploded everywhere on the shore . A sea of damage text arose, and at the one minute and forty second mark of the battle, the first players were killed .
Thirteen players died .
The damage was too much; Lu Li had to admit that he had underestimated the strength of this level 42 Boss .
Just this skill alone was enough to destroy most guilds . This wasn’t a Boss that a small guild would be able to fight . He warned himself again to forget the conclusion about the captain being a weak Boss .
Thirteen – there weren’t enough Druids to resurrect all of them .
Lu Li calmly instructed his injured team members to reposition themselves . The three warships had 24 cannons that were aimed towards this shore . As long as they positioned themselves away from consecutive shellfire damage, they would be able to effectively reduce their casualties .
A single cannon alone wasn’t enough to kill a player instantly . Players with good game sense and technique would even be able to dodge the damage of the cannons .
"Stay concentrated – I don’t want this situation to happen again . Their deaths were pointless and they lost 10% experience too . Since this was the first time, those who died can still participate to receive points . The next time this situation happens, points will be deducted by half," Lu Li mercilessly said in the guild channel .
Ruling Sword was aiming for the first kill of Captain Andre Firebeard and the battle was intense .
The other guilds, especially the major guilds, eventually received this information . Perhaps even before Lu Li talked about this event, some elite team members had already sent the information out .
