Encountering the Mexican player, Pei Te, also reminded Yang Rui that his current strength was far from reaching a level where he was far ahead of others. Although the Mountain Village was ranked first in the world rankings, the main reason for this was because they had subdued the Ink Village, which had raised the Mountain Village's various indexes by a lot!
Pei Te's territory was only ranked 19th in the world rankings, but his strength was not to be underestimated. One could imagine that the strength of the territories ranked above him would not be too bad either! Therefore, if one were to only look at military strength, the Mountain Village's ranking could only be considered as one of the more outstanding ones!
Of course, if one took into account the fact that the mountain bandit camp could quickly turn Yang Rui into Fourth Grade soldiers, then Yang Rui's military strength was still second to none. However, Yang Rui would not easily use the mountain bandit camp. Otherwise, it was very likely that the system would change the settings in advance. If that happened, the gains would not make up for the losses!
Soon, the last match of the group stage arrived. In the match against the Egyptian player, 'Gan', Yang Rui once again encountered some unexpected trouble!
Due to the ranking, the match between 'Gan' and Yang Rui was his second to last group stage match, and his last match was against the Mexican player, Pei Te — — a player who only lost to Yang Rui by a small amount of points!
Although 'Gan' was an absolute dark horse in the previous four matches, and actually won all of them, the remaining two matches could be said to be tough battles for 'Gan'. He had to do his best to win one match, only then would he have a chance to qualify for the group stage!
And after Yang Rui won five matches in a row, there was no longer much suspense in qualifying for the group stage. Therefore, searching for wild bosses and soul equipment in the competition became Yang Rui's main mission.
Even so, Yang Rui was still very curious. How did this player, who was ranked below 200 in the world rankings, win four matches in a row! Therefore, before this match, Yang Rui took some time to look through the recordings of 'Gan's' matches.
With one look, he understood that this' Gan 'from Egypt was also very good!
'Forrest' didn't have a single Third Grade soldier under his command. He only had a group of over a hundred Second Grade soldiers. However, it was this group of Second Grade soldiers that were very unusual. They had repeatedly slaughtered their opponents in direct confrontations and had even helped 'Forrest' to win the competition at the airport at the most crucial moment!
"So it's a special troop class!"
Looking at the 100 Second Grade soldiers, Yang Rui quickly recognized their identity. In his previous life, there had been a heated discussion about special forces on the forums. Yang Rui had seen some of the special forces of every civilization, and these Second Grade soldiers of Forrest Gump were one of the more famous special forces of the Egyptian civilization – the Desert Axemen!
Under ordinary circumstances, only famous generals could train special soldiers. Almost all of them were intermediate soldiers of Fourth Grade and above. Almost all of them belonged to the forces of the system.
There were also some special troop classes that could be obtained by players through quests and other channels. They could also be lower than Fourth Grade. The Desert Axeman of the Egyptian civilization was one of the more famous ones, and it was also one of the more powerful ones. Therefore, Yang Rui remembered it very clearly.
The reason why the Desert Axeman was so powerful was because of their powerful close combat ability. They were not inferior to ordinary Third Grade soldiers. This point had been shown in 'Gan's' matches. He had relied on these Desert Axeman to forcefully eliminate the Third Grade soldiers of the opponent several times!
But there was one thing that was not shown in the recordings of 'Gan's' matches! In fact, the reason why these Desert Axeman were so famous, besides their powerful close combat ability, was also because of their long range attack ability! They could directly throw the axes in their hands. Although the range was not as long as an archer's, the power was very high! They were proper Third Grade long range soldiers!
In other words, this brat 'Gan' still had a trick up his sleeve, and did not reveal all the attributes of the Desert Axeman!
Yang Rui roughly estimated that if he had to face off against 'Gan' in the match, his chances of victory would not be too high!
Therefore, the best situation would be for the wild boss to spawn within Yang Rui's territory. This way, Yang Rui could easily obtain the soul equipment, and then wait for 'Gan' to attack the checkpoint! Even if the opponent did not come, he would still be able to smoothly obtain 1 point and ensure that he would qualify for the group stage!
However, things did not go as planned. When the match officially started, Yang Rui searched around and found that the wild boss had coincidentally appeared within the opponent's territory!
This time, Yang Rui was in trouble. If he forcefully attacked in order to snatch the boss, it was very likely that he would not only fail to snatch the boss, but also lose the match! If he did not try to snatch the boss, he could rely on the checkpoint to smoothly accumulate enough points to qualify for the group stage. But if that was the case, it would be too much of a pity to lose a piece of soul equipment!
Actually, while Yang Rui's side was troublesome, 'Gan's' side was even more anxious! 'Gan' did not think that the wild boss appearing within his territory was a good thing at all, because he was not clear about the uniqueness of the soul equipment. He was only worried that if he was not careful, he would attract the boss's attack and cause 'non-combat casualties'!
The match was determined by the ratio of battle casualties. If the wild boss's attack caused losses to the rear, the opponent only needed to defend the checkpoint, and 'Gan's' side would basically lose!
After hesitating for a long time, 'Gan' felt that he should first think of a way to solve this problem. Needless to say, 'Gan' really did think of a good idea in a moment of inspiration. That was to divert the trouble, and change from passive to active!
Therefore, while Yang Rui was thinking of a way to snatch the boss, 'Gan' on the other side used all his strength to directly lure the boss to Yang Rui's front! This caused Yang Rui to be both excited and baffled. He guessed that 'Gan' was trying to bribe him, so that he would be waterproof!
No matter what, Yang Rui naturally did not refuse the wild boss. From afar, he took the initiative to pull the wild boss's aggro. Then, taking advantage of the fact that 'Gan's' soldiers were far away from the checkpoint's attack range, he directly opened the checkpoint's gate and let the wild boss into the checkpoint!
After that, the matter was simple. Yang Rui only needed to rely on the checkpoint to kill the wild boss without losing any damage, obtain the soul equipment, and then defend the checkpoint without losing. Then, it would be considered a complete mission. And these steps were not difficult for Yang Rui to execute.
Throughout the entire match, Yang Rui and 'Gan' seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. Each of them did what they should do, and even their 'cooperation' was very tacit. Finally, the two of them tied, and very calmly obtained 1 point each, which could be considered as having achieved their desired goals!
Of course, the soul equipment naturally fell into Yang Rui's hands. Only this time, it was still a pair of wrist guards, which was somewhat passable.
"Rhinoceros Wrist Guard (Left Hand) * Soul: Bronze Equipment. Defense 25, Durability 30, Equipment Requirement: Level 30 or above and Martial Strength 60 or above … "
"Rhinoceros Wrist Guard (Right Hand) * Soul: Bronze Equipment. Defense 25, Durability 30, Equipment Requirement: Level 30 or above and Martial Strength 60 or above … "
