This important strategy was very basic. Anyone with a bit of game knowledge understood this. Whenever there was a team battle, the Clerics would always be protected. Even though this was only a small-scale battle right now, with many against one, the five players didn't dare be careless, since they knew of Tang Rou's history and immediately went into a team formation. Four players formed a square with the Cleric being protected in the middle.
Soft Mist was charging head-on. If she wanted to reach the Cleric, she would have to break through the two players in front.
One of these two players was a Ghostblade, while the other was a Knight. The Demeter's elite team coordinated well together. The Knight moved forward with his shield raised to meet the attacker. The Ghostblade stayed behind and sent up a Ghost Boundary.
Apart from reducing damage, the shield was also important for reducing effects from attacks.
