The thirty-second floor of the Tower of Civilization was also filled with First Grade to Third Grade bandit soldiers. However, there were far more of them than the ones Yang Rui had encountered before. In particular, every bandit camp was densely packed with them.
As such, Yang Rui and the ten Second Grade village warriors did not dare to charge too ferociously. Once they got caught in the middle of so many bandit soldiers, Yang Rui himself would have no problem. However, the ten village warriors would probably not be able to hold on.
In a place crowded with bandits, Yang Rui could not guarantee that he would be able to protect the ten village warriors at all times. In particular, there were quite a number of long-range attackers among the bandits.
Fortunately, the bandit soldiers roaming around the outskirts of every bandit camp were all First Grade and Second Grade existences. Moreover, their numbers were not too concentrated. Usually, they would not be able to threaten the safety of the ten village warriors. Yang Rui took the lead and led the village warriors to start farming these bandit soldiers.
Yang Rui planned to prioritize farming out a safe zone and see if he could convince the ten village warriors to stay put. He would then go and farm the bandit camps.
However, not long after they started farming, one of the ten village warriors unexpectedly reached the required experience level for advancement. In other words, he had reached Level 30. After using the special soldier skill book that Yang Rui had provided, he had advanced to a Third Grade special soldier!
Originally, Yang Rui could not see the specific experience level of the ten village warriors. As such, Yang Rui felt that he would not be able to bring them to Level 30 in a short amount of time. He did not expect that one of the village warriors would reach the advancement requirement so quickly.
Once they reached the level of a Third Grade soldier, the village warriors would have no problem protecting themselves. Moreover, it was a special soldier, which was equivalent to having the strength of a normal Fourth Grade soldier.
Thus, Yang Rui spent some time to bring the village warriors to see if the other nine could also successfully advance to Third Grade. Since one of them had already reached the advancement requirement, the rest should not be far behind.
Sure enough, as Yang Rui had expected, the remaining nine Village Warriors soon reached the Level 30 promotion requirement.
To better protect themselves and survive, Yang Rui turned five of the village warriors into Third Grade special long-range crossbowmen. Five other village warriors were converted into Third Grade Swordsman Attendants.
In this way, even if Yang Rui couldn't take care of all of them, the ten village warriors would be able to take care of him for a while.
However, as Yang Rui gradually cleared out the bandit nests, he had the ten village warriors follow him from a distance. As soon as the five crossbowmen entered the firing range, the other five close swordsman stood guard around the crossbowmen under Yang Rui's persuasion.
It was only now that Yang Rui had truly let loose. His unrestrained attacks quickly swept through the 32nd floor of the Tower of Civilization. There might be a lot of bandit soldiers, but their First Grade to Third Grade power was not even worth mentioning before Yang Rui.
With the safety of the village warriors increased, Yang Rui didn't have much trouble clearing the 33rd and 34th floors of the Tower of Civilization. Yang Rui also didn't have to expend much effort to clear the advanced checkpoint on the 35th floor.
This was mainly due to Yang Rui's extremely high defense and the sharpness of the nameless sword. After exhausting the attacks of the blackwood, stones, and oil, the advanced checkpoints only wasted a little more of Yang Rui's time on the basic, beginner, and intermediate checkpoints.
Yang Rui cleared the 36th to 40th floors of the Tower of Civilization as well. The only obstacle was the small town that appeared on the 40th floor. It was much more difficult to attack than the previous checkpoints and town-level territories. The rolling stones, blackwood, and oil on the walls never ran out. Moreover, there seemed to be plenty of backups.
For a moment, Yang Rui didn't have any good ideas. He could only go up and attract the attention of the enemy in an attempt to exhaust the town's defensive reserves. However, it didn't seem to be working very well. The attacks on the walls didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.
Yang Rui tirelessly attracted the enemy's attention for about fifteen minutes. The attacks on the walls didn't stop either. Whenever Yang Rui entered their attack range, the attacks on the walls would rain down on him again, tirelessly.
A similar situation would have been effective when attacking beginner, intermediate, and advanced town-level territories. However, the situation in the small town before him had changed quite a bit. The method of attracting the enemy's attention was no longer effective. Yang Rui stalled for another fifteen minutes, but there was still no result.
In the War of the Worlds game, there were situations where a player could fight against a thousand enemies. However, it depended on the specific situation. Most of the time, such situations would only occur when all sorts of conditions were met, or when the player was facing the enemy head-on. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been incidents of famous historical figures dying to arrows.
If a single powerful general could take down a city from an army of tens of thousands, the game's balance would be completely lost!
Take Yang Rui for example. He didn't have the geographical advantage, and he didn't have any siege weapons. Yang Rui couldn't do anything about it.
Through the defenses of the town. The system vividly demonstrated this point. The combination of low-level Third Grade soldiers and the advantage of the walls was enough to keep Yang Rui, a Third Grade historical general, out of the town.
Even though there was a huge gap in strength between the two of them, and Yang Rui could wipe out a large number of people in a head-on confrontation, he was helpless at this moment.
Of course, it wasn't as if Yang Rui was completely helpless. Among his equipment, the Golden Jade Armor – Soul had the attribute of invulnerability for one time, while the Corolla Bamboo Hat – Soul also had the attribute of invulnerability for one time. It was more than enough to deal with the current situation.
However, Yang Rui felt that it was a waste to use these two methods against Third Grade soldiers. The invulnerability of these two equipment had a cooldown of thirty game days. It was obvious that he couldn't use it a second time after using it once. Yang Rui was still planning to use it at a critical moment later.
"Hero, attacking by force may not be advisable. If this city is the main stronghold of the bandits, Lingnan City, the few of us have heard a secret from the old village chief. There was an elder in the village who carried out an investigation. Lingnan City is inextricably linked to the bandits. There is a secret passage that leads directly from the back of the mountain to the rockery in the city!
However, the fake mountain at the entrance of the secret passage is also heavily guarded. As such, the process is also extremely dangerous. Hero, please be careful. "
Yang Rui's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He lifted his head and saw the words' Lingnan 'above the city walls. This city must be the Lingnan City that the village soldier spoke of.
The next step was easy. Yang Rui led ten village soldiers and quickly found the entrance to the secret passage after some investigation. At Yang Rui's request, the ten village soldiers were left behind to guard the entrance of the passage while Yang Rui entered the passage alone.
Even though Yang Rui didn't know what the village warrior meant by 'heavily guarded', facing a group of Third Grade soldiers was nothing to him. The difficulty was a whole order of magnitude lower than directly attacking the city!

After almost two hours, several notifications came in. This time, the village soldiers had done a great job.
Yang Rui entered the city through the secret passage and smoothly leveled Lingnan City. After carefully searching for the Civilization Marks everywhere, Yang Rui finally stepped into the teleportation passage.
Lingnan City might be a small city, but there were no more than two thousand soldiers guarding it. It was very different from a normal city, but its defense was the same.
