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

All forces in Xingjiazhuang are always paying attention to the battle reports from the front line.

358 Dragon Scale Guards opened a passage and the Duli tribe evacuated safely!

The conflict ended peacefully!

Upon hearing the news, Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan and Yoshimoto Sadaichi were not happy.

Instead, they were furious.

That expression seemed to be saying, I'm all ready, but now you're showing me this.

Chiang Kai-shek was especially indignant.

In order for you to fight against the Duli tribe and the Eighth Route Army, I selflessly provided 500,000 magic ammunitions.

Damn it.

What's going on now?

Why do you think the Eighth Route Army is so cowardly in front of the 358th Dragon Scale Guards?

What are you afraid of?

You have 358 elite soldiers, why don't you dare to compete with Dragon Scale Guards?

When we provoked conflicts in the past, didn’t you fight back decisively?

Why did you back down when facing the 358 Dragon Scale Guards this time?

Do you look down on us?

Do you think that our great Republic of China's Reform Army is just trash and that the 358 Dragon Scale Guards are not to be provoked?

So fucking disrespectful!

Yan Xishan was also furious.

I am ready and waiting for you to start the war so that I can take over the territory.

You actually reconciled, completely ignoring us, the audience who were expecting you.

Yoshimoto Sadaichi cursed in his heart.

You descendants of Yan and Huang all talk the talk but do nothing. You make a lot of fanfare but in the end take no action.

They are just playing with us!

To their surprise, the Duli tribe gave up all their territories and resolutely moved to the Taiyue Anti-Demon Base...

During the mysterious transfer, Li Tailong roared in anger: "It is too shameful, this time it is too shameful! If it were not for the strict order from my superiors, how could I, Li Tailong, be afraid of that Cao Geng. I must let him taste the blade of my anger! Alas! All this is due to cowardice. Why should I be afraid? Don't they believe in the strength of our independent group!"

Zhao Gang, riding on the magic horse, immediately retorted: "Brother Li, what nonsense are you talking about? It's inappropriate for the soldiers to hear you complaining like this!"

Li Tailong lowered his voice and retorted, "If I don't complain a few words, I'm not the real Li Tailong. Don't you always say that you have to play the role thoroughly?"

Then, Li Tailong shouted again: "Don't pretend in front of me. Why should we give in to the 358th Regiment? All the benefits belong to them. In my opinion, there must be an incompetent commander behind the cowardly soldiers! With such a powerful force, you dare not attack Taiyuan City, but dare to come to me to show off your power! All this is your fault, because you went to the secret meeting of the brigade..."

Zhao Gang was too lazy to argue with Li Tailong. He was thinking about how to start from the anti-demon base in Taiyue, promote harmony between the military and the people, and consolidate this mysterious land.

Li Tailong cursed a few times, but when he saw that Zhao Gang did not respond, he lost interest. His thoughts turned to a new goal: two thousand ghost 38 swords, fifteen slanted gun handles, and two heavy artillery pieces - these equipment were enough to arm two legions. The expansion plan of the independent group was put on the agenda again.

This time, he wanted to set up eight battalions in one go. Damn it, Cao Geng, the regiment commander, actually played the role of a division commander. He must not lose to the other side, and at least he had to set up a corps.

More importantly, when they arrive at the Taiyue Anti-Demon Base, they must recapture a large area of ​​territory from the demons. Li Tailong plans to expand the army and prepare to liberate the lost city-county from the clutches of the enemy.

Cao Geng was already planning his actions. In the camp outside Xingjiazhuang, he convened a regiment meeting, looked at the deputy regiment leaders present, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the Independent Regiment has been driven out by us, this land has become the world of the 358th Regiment. This means that in the future, the residents here will rely on us for protection. This is both an honor and a mission. The Independent Regiment once protected this place, and we must do better and surpass them. Tell me, can you do it?"

"Yes! We will resolutely complete the mission!" All the officers immediately stood up, stood at attention with their chests puffed out, and answered loudly.

"Very good! You are worthy of being my subordinate Cao Geng, you have such a tenacious fighting spirit! However, what I want is not your promise, but actual action. Shi Song, listen to my orders!"

Shi Song immediately responded: "Yes, sir!"

Cao Geng instructed: "You lead the troops to patrol the former territory of the Independence Group and inform the people that from now on their safety will be guaranteed by our 358th Group. Of course, future taxes must also be paid to the political representatives designated by the 358th Group!"

"As ordered!"

"Sun Jiang!"

"Here!" Sun Jiang responded loudly.

"You lead your troops to be responsible for the security and defense of Ping'an Town and Wuzhai Town. Make sure that the two places are not violated!"

In the distant Ezerland, Ping'an County, where Wuzhai Town is located, was once invaded by a demonic shadow. Now the land is devastated and its residents have fled to foreign lands to seek refuge.

However, even the slightest hope is crucial to the 358th Legion.

They must strengthen their defenses, shelter displaced refugees, and rebuild the shattered territory.

When Sun Jiang heard that he was entrusted with the important task of garrisoning, he was a little dissatisfied, but he still responded firmly: "Yes, sir!"

"Wu Ziqiang!"

"exist!"

"You lead your tribal warriors to Anhua County. Although it is not time to capture the city yet, you must control every village one by one."

Wu Ziqiang heard this and became more motivated: "Yes, sir!"

"Cheng Yuqing!"

"exist!"

"You command your tribe to march towards Shuo County, just like the first column. It's too early to capture the city, but the villages must be occupied."

"As ordered!"

The 358th Legion advanced on two fronts. The Fourth Column captured Daiyue Town in Shuo County in just three days, and then captured Beizhou Village, sending thousands of evil puppet soldiers into the underworld.

The First Column was equally unyielding.

They fought a bloody battle with a demonic Japanese army brigade and puppet army in Dongping Town.

The Japanese army relied on two magic cannons to try to resist, but the two huge cannons of the first column roared back.

Despite not having an advantage in artillery power, the Japanese army still attempted to resist with the help of catapults and heavy machine guns. However, the powerful firepower of the 358th Corps made them pale in comparison. The interwoven firepower network of light and heavy machine guns was extremely fierce.

The Type 28 heavy machine gun and DP- light machine gun fired at the same time, as fierce as a rainstorm.

The fierce firepower made the Japanese army feel as if they were facing Soviet cavalry.

The suppressive firepower of the First Column made the Japanese troops unable to move until the warriors delivered the explosive packs to the bottom of the city wall and successfully detonated them.

The outcome is decided.

Before the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had recovered from the shock, the 358th Corps had already taken over all of the Independent Regiment's former territory.

Immediately, amid the curses of Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi, the well-supplied 358th Corps launched a series of offensives in Anhua County and Shuo County.

In Taiyuan, at the First Army Command Post, a group of Japanese officers stared at the rapidly expanding 358th Army Corps mark on the sand table, burning with anger.

Lieutenant General Izuki Ren, commander of the 36th Division, asked angrily:

"General, the 358th Legion is too arrogant. We must deal it a devastating blow! General, please allow me to send the 36th Division to destroy the 358th Legion!"

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi's eyes were as cold as ice, and he ordered indifferently: "Anhua County and Shuo County should shrink their defenses and not act rashly. Order the Special High Section to find out the source and quantity of the 358th Corps' heavy artillery! Before finding out the source of the heavy artillery, it is strictly forbidden to attack the 358th Corps again!"

……

The First Column and the Fourth Column each performed their duties and fought everywhere.

However, the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance company shocked Cao Geng deeply.

The Japanese army retreated into the county town and no longer took the initiative to attack.

"Sir, what does the Japanese mean by this?" Fang Ligong asked doubtfully, "When did they become so timid and cautious?"

Cao Geng's furrowed brows reflected his confusion about this change...

Under the devil's contraction, the next mysterious action plan came to a standstill, and it was necessary to find a way to lure those dark forces out of their hiding place.

When Cao Geng and Fang Ligong were plotting, Sun Ming arrived quietly.

"Commander, a visitor from the Central Secret Information Bureau has come and asked to see you!"

"Well, then please invite them in."

Sun Ming responded and led the visitor with the secret report into the room.

Cao Geng and Fang Ligong were busy organizing the mysterious scrolls on the table to prevent the accidental leakage of crucial secrets.

Suddenly, Cao Geng smelled a strange fragrance!
