Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

"Isn't this extremely absurd?"

It should be noted that even though the strength of Huaian Lingcheng has weakened, it is still a vital strategic location in the northwest Shanxi region ruled by the demon clan.

At first, the two venerables were unwilling to believe that the three battalions led by Cao Geng could achieve such brilliant results.

However, after seeing the clear information on the sound transmission jade talisman, no matter how unwilling they were to accept it, the two of them could only take a deep breath and silently admit it:

The three battalions under Cao Geng were truly unstoppable, and they captured Huaian Lingcheng in just two hours.

If it were any group-level force within the Humanitarian Court, it would probably not be able to accomplish this easily.

Just as the clan leader and the deputy clan leader were shocked by Cao Geng's outstanding military achievements, after accepting the truth, their expressions turned into ecstasy.

"Needless to say, now that our Humane Church has captured Huai'an Spiritual City, our initiative and strategic margin of error in the entire northwest region of Shanxi will surely be greatly enhanced in the future."

The clan leader excitedly punched the table, causing a loud bang.

The deputy sect leader also had a smile on his face: "Moreover, if Cao Geng's new Xuanjian Sect can firmly hold Huaian Lingcheng, it will form a powerful constraint that cannot be underestimated for both the demon clan and the Jinsui Army."

That being said, Cao Geng's capture of Huai'an Lingcheng

Not only does it allow the Humanitarian Church in the northwest of Shanxi to take more initiative when facing the demon tribe,

At the same time, it also allowed the Humanitarian Court in northwestern Shanxi to gain greater voice in the entire Humanitarian Alliance.

At this moment, the deputy sect leader suddenly remembered another matter and asked hesitantly, "Just, regarding the promotion of Cao Geng to the new Xuanjian Sect leader, should we inform Li Yunlong?"

Cao Geng was promoted to the leader of the new 3rd Xuanling Regiment. Before this, only the mysterious sect leader had personally conveyed this order to the legion to which Cao Geng belonged.

It can be said,

Until now,

Li Yunlong, Cao Geng's former mentor and current commander of the Zhenwu Third Battalion, was completely unaware that his disciple Cao Geng had suddenly been promoted to the same level as himself.

Logically speaking, as Cao Geng's former mentor, Li Yunlong should have the right to know about Cao Geng's promotion.

However, after the deputy elder asked, the sect leader pondered for a moment and shook his head:

"Don't tell that unruly disciple of Li Yunlong for now."

"Now is a critical moment for him to recruit spiritual disciples. If this news is leaked, he will inevitably be distracted."

"Moreover, not only should we not inform Li Yunlong about this matter first, but even our senior management should keep it a secret for the time being."

"We can first give Cao Geng the cultivation resources and power equivalent to the level of a third battalion!"

"But the confirmation of his new position as the leader of the Xuanling Third Regiment will have to wait until Li Yunlong finishes assigning spiritual disciples before it can be officially announced to the public."

The sect leader was worried that Li Yunlong would become jealous after hearing the news, thinking that he, the sect leader, was stealing disciples from him. Secondly, he was worried that once the news of Cao Geng's rapid promotion to group leader spread, it would probably cause dissatisfaction and imbalance among the many sect leaders in northwestern Shanxi.

Now is the critical moment when the demons are invading in large numbers.

Any information that may cause unrest in the sect must be treated with caution.

The master was full of worries.

Therefore, he believed that it would be more appropriate to keep the news of Cao Geng's promotion to the head of the new third regiment of Xuanling secret for the time being.

The deputy elder of the sect understood the sect master's intention.

He nodded his head,

Didn't say much.

Subsequently,

He continued to make a phone call and informed Cao Geng, the current head of the New Third Regiment, of the important decision the clan leader had just made.

……

In fact, Cao Geng did not care much about when to make public his new position as the leader of the Xuanling New Third Regiment.

He made a few casual remarks on the phone and then signaled the deputy sect elder to hang up.

As for Wang Huaibao and others, although they felt a little regretful when they heard the news, they would not be able to enjoy the glory of being promoted in a short period of time.

But they soon felt relieved and chose to let the matter go.

After all, even though their status as the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment promoted to the New Third Regiment cannot be made public yet, in the eyes of the clan leader, they have essentially obtained the status of the New Third Regiment.

Instead of worrying too much about this matter, it would be better to stabilize the situation in Huaian City as soon as possible and concentrate on cultivation.

of course,

Just when the headquarters had just passed on the news of promoting Cao Geng to the new third regiment as its leader,

Cao Geng received another call.

The caller was not someone else.

It was Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of Jinsui Territory, who had joined forces with Cao Geng to deal with the First Demon Division.

This was because Cao Geng had a brief battle with the First Demon Division in Ping'an Forest Farm, and then he quickly led his men to Huaian City and fought for two hours.

therefore,

Soon after Cao Geng successfully captured Huai'an City,

……

In the outer area of ​​Huairong City of the 358th Regiment of the Four Elephants, they finally wiped out a night combat squadron of the First Brigade of Japanese monks with a thunderous force.

At this moment, Chu Yunfei came to inquire through the magic talisman, intending to confirm the achievements of Cao Geng's Third Battalion in this confrontation.

Cao Geng, of course, spoke without reservation and described in detail how he had cleverly arranged things outside Ping'an County, causing the Japanese monks to suffer a great loss in that battle.

At first, Chu Yunfei thought that Cao Geng's Third Battalion would not achieve significant results in this battle. However, as Cao Geng continued to narrate, Chu Yunfei became increasingly surprised.

"Is that so?"

"In the direction of Yingchoujian, even a vanguard brigade was completely wiped out?"

"In the direction of Ping'an Forest Farm, they used all the power of heavy instruments to attack fiercely, and actually killed nearly a thousand Japanese monks?"

Chu Yunfei never expected that the Cao Geng Third Battalion, which had experienced many fierce battles, could achieve such a brilliant record when facing the two regiments of the First Brigade.

Including the results of the battle in Yingchoujian, the Third Battalion of Cao Geng fought against the two regiments of the First Brigade, and killed a total of nearly two thousand Japanese monks!

What is even more incredible is that after defeating two thousand Japanese monks, Cao Geng’s three battalions actually marched away?

This is unbelievable!

"Then, didn't the First Brigade launch a final pursuit against you?" Chu Yunfei asked doubtfully.

"Their main targets are Ping'an County and Yamamoto Secret Realm Training Camp. As long as our Third Battalion evacuates these two important places, those Japanese monks will naturally stop pursuing our New First Regiment Third Battalion." Cao Geng replied calmly.

"So what did you do afterwards?" Chu Yunfei couldn't help but ask.

"In the following two hours, we successfully captured Huaian County, which was occupied by Japanese monks." Cao Geng said calmly.

Speaking of Huai'an County, Chu Yunfei, who already admired Cao Geng very much, was now dumbfounded.

"Huaian County?!"

Chu Yunfei's voice suddenly rose, and his whole body seemed to be petrified.

Is Cao Geng kidding? You know, the strategic value of Huai'an County in the northwest of Shanxi is second only to Huairong County. There should be heavy troops stationed there for defense, so how could Cao Geng's three battalions easily capture it in just two hours?

This is really unbelievable!
