Rankine looked at the approaching opponent outside the fortifications, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground in hatred, and stomped on it with his military boots.

", stop them for me. Didn't you all eat, the other one is fluffy!"

Through the wireless communicator carried on the Warrior Suit of the Night God, Rankine scolded angrily.

What is going on now is a real combat confrontation in the recruit camp, which is an assessment. The recruit battalion is a group, and the opponents are selected by drawing lots to compete. This assessment is a promotion system, and only one team wins through elimination.

Rankine's team has been going well, and in turbulent times, among the many abilities, the Fighting Domain is the most prevalent. In the new barracks, except for Rankine who is an earth elemental ability, there is only one wind elemental ability in the vanguard team that has always been among the best.

In several teams of the boot camp, soldiers are free to form teams, so the number of people in each group and the abilities of the soldiers are not consistent. The team with the least number of people was Zero's four-man team, and the largest number was undoubtedly Rankine's team. With the support of his uncle, who was a councillor, Rankine attracted nearly thirty soldiers to his membership. This unrestricted way of forming a team may seem unfair, but in turbulent times, it is not fair, so Cario did not stop the formation of Rankine's team.

But in several assessments of the recruit camp, Rankine's team illustrated from another side that the battle of the new era does not depend on the number of personnel, but on the quality of personnel. Whether it's the Vanguard squad or the plain team, the number of these two teams is extremely small. But in each assessment, Rankine is not the opponent of these two teams.

Recently, a new member has been added to Su's team. Rankine knew that the new soldier named Zero had been brought to the barracks by a big man from the Twelve Main Shrines. On the day of the soldier's report, in the trap set by Rankine against the Suna team, he heard that several soldiers with quite good skills were put down by this man named Zero, so although Rankine had not met Zero, he was already impressed.

Today, that impression has quickly turned into fear.

Rankine never thought that after adding a zero to Su's team, even Xiang Xiangwei's Pioneer team with excellent results would also fight today. In the promotion confrontation, Su's team and the pioneer met in a narrow way. But this time, the Pioneer team could no longer maintain the first place in the boot camp, and they brushed down the Su team. And in the actual confrontation, zero scored the highest. He single-handedly "shot" three members of the Vanguard Squad, including their captain.

His swift movement and accurate shooting on the battlefield are worthy of the name "Wind Shooter". And Rankine knew that Zero had just been promoted to this profession after being debugged two days ago. What a terrifying combat talent to bring out the best in this profession in just two days.

Now, Rankine can experience for himself how terrifying it is to have a four-man team with a popular shooter.

A roar came from the mock battlefield outside the fortifications, and Rankine looked to see a giant rhinoceros covered in steel armor rushing out from behind cover. Rankine recognized that it was a black man named Marpee in the vegetarian team. He is a mutant powerhouse, able to switch to the genes of the Ironclad Rhinoceros. The transformed Matthew is on a rampage, and its perverted defense will make it difficult for even a shoulder-fired missile to knock it down.

In the previous contact battle, Mapei alone had picked up four or five soldiers on Rankine's side. Now, the ironclad rhinoceros rushed out from behind cover, immediately attracting most of the fire. But at the same time, two figures lunged out from the opposing position, using Matthew's cover to pierce Rankine's ranks like daggers.

Dressed in a tight-fitting tactical suit, he is not even equipped with protective armor. She dragged the alloy heavy sword upside down, sliding like a puff of black smoke past the hooves of the giant beast that Matthew had incarnated. When approaching several firefighters hiding behind cover, adjust their posture and slash with a sword.

The metal heavy sword brought a furious wind pressure and slammed into the cover of the concrete structure, which immediately split apart, and several firefighters were also lifted by the wind pressure of the slashing wind. Just as they were about to fall to the ground, Su Chongjian pulled back, and his left shoulder protruded. The whole person leaned forward, and launched a charge almost 45 degrees to the ground.

Before the fireman could touch Su, the shockwave she had brought with her charge flew away. By the time they landed, they were already foaming at the mouth and had lost their combat effectiveness.

After coming to Valhalla, Su strengthened Liliang to the fourth order, combined with her previous fifth-order cold weapon mastery, combined with the promotion class of "Berserker Soldier". Berserker is a highly mobile, explosive class. Abandoning most of the defense, the class that focuses on liliang and flexibility makes Su a nightmare for enemies on the battlefield.

For example, just now, a "furious slash" shattered the opponent's resistance, and then made up for a "savage charge" to immediately put the opponent down. This is an exclusive skill for Berserkers, and it embodies the explosive power of this class.

The other figure is Kaede, whose promotion class is "Fencer". Although they are also swordsmen, unlike the berserkers, the fencers focus on breaking down the opponent's defenses with a coherent attack, and finally killing the opponent.

Therefore, Kaede did not rush as violently as Pixel, he was more like an elegant noble swordsman. With a smile on his face, Feng lightly grasped the scabbard of the Tang knife "Frost" in his left hand, and walked leisurely into the opponent's firing position. The fireman immediately turned his gun and beckoned to Kaede, but was nimblely evaded by Kaede. The Fencer is a class that combines the fourth-order agility and cold weapon mastery, and in terms of speed, Kaede is much faster than Su.

The maple that appears in the eyes of the firepower hand will always move in a flashing manner. Each time it flashes, it means that your attack has missed. When it reappears, the Tang knife in Kaede's hand will unsheath like lightning, dismantling the fireman's firearm with a dazzling succession of attacks, and then slamming the hilt into their forehead as a note of the attack. In this way, Kaede destroyed the defense of Rankine's team at a speed no slower than Su.

Rankine gritted his teeth, locked in the direction of Su and Kaede, and pressed his hands on the ground of the fortifications. He was about to launch a "ground thorn raid" on the two opponents, when a flash of fire shot in through the window of the fortification.

It's just that Rankine was lying on the ground, so the bullet didn't hit him, but hit the wall. But if you slow down the speed of the bullet at this point, you will find that the bullet is not fired straight at the wall. It was slightly slanted, so it changed direction as it hit the wall, shooting back at the ground in front of Rankine in a folded trajectory.

Rankine couldn't help but be distracted, but saw the fire flicker again, followed by a sharp pain in the lower abdomen. But it was the bullet that bounced off the ground and shot strangely at the tactical suit in his lower abdomen. The bullet cracked with an instant, leaving only a little ash on Rankine's body.

But this has already indicated that Rankine was "killed". And only now, Rankine found that there seemed to be a zero missing in the opponent's team.
