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

358th Regiment front command post.

The captain of the Fourth Squadron, Cheng Yuqing, complained angrily: "What main force? They just don't trust us. That's why they sent us to attack Sol City to distract the enemy so that the First Squadron can attack other county cities. The First Squadron is their biological child, and we are the ones who raised them!"

Sun Jiang from the third team looked up and glanced at him, muttering to himself.

What else do you have to complain about?

I am the one who is wronged.

It’s just that one of his soldiers got a little close to that witch, and now he has lost his position as a front-line commander and has to listen to your orders.

What a hell.

If that bastard Cao Feng hadn't been transferred to the Julu Desert, I would have kicked his ass to pieces.

Why bother with that witch for no reason!

Shi Song looked at Cheng Yuqing and Sun Jiang, and became even more angry.

Until now, the Fifth Squadron has been cooperating with others in combat and has never had a chance to become the main force.

It's just that he became the battalion commander later and his achievements are not as many as others.

Judging from the current situation, if we don’t fight a few tough battles soon, there will be no hope of turning things around!

Seeing that no one responded to him, the scene fell into awkward silence for a moment.

Cheng Yuqing waited for a while and saw that no one cooperated.

He had no choice but to say: "The commander said that we should capture Sol County if we have the ability, but we all know that he was just joking and didn't believe that we could capture Sol. In this battle, we must capture Sol and show the commander our strength."

Conquer Sol County?

Sun Jiang then became interested and asked, "Old Cheng, we both know how difficult it is to defeat Sol County. Are you sure?"

Ishimatsu also stood up and took out a cigarette while saying, "There is a Japanese regiment stationed in Sol County, not to mention a puppet army corps. The key is the railway. The Japanese army can mobilize a brigade to reinforce in just one day. Our three teams with 9,000 people cannot capture Sol County at all!"

Cheng Yuqing spread out the map, pointed to the train station outside the ancient city of Sol County and said, "So, the railway is the key! To take Sol, we must first seize the train station! My plan is this: use a feint to attract the attention of the Japanese army, and then the main force will travel day and night for ninety miles. Disguise as the resistance army to raid the Sol County train station, creating the illusion that the resistance army is at the train station. Lure out the Japanese army in Sol County, and then set up an ambush halfway."

After hearing Cheng Yuqing's plan, Shi Song even forgot to smoke. "Traveling ninety miles in one day? This is impossible! It's impossible!"

Ezreal declared with a stern face: "In the past, the brave dragon riders flew across the 120-mile Dragonbone Gorge in one day to seize the mysterious floating stone bridge. Now we only need to cross 90 miles, and I firmly believe that we can do the same!"

Irelia disagreed and retorted, "This is too dangerous. We have to immediately engage in a magic battle after crossing 90 miles. If the situation turns against us, we will suffer a tragic defeat."

Garen nodded in agreement: "By then, I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape! The commander only hopes that we can contain the enemy's phantom warriors, and he doesn't force us to capture Aurora City. Your strategy is indeed brave, but if you fail, the price will be too heavy!"

Ezreal responded: "It is indeed full of risks, but who has ever said that you can't get treasure without going into the demon's lair! If we don't take risks, we will never have the chance to conquer Aurora. If we can't conquer it, how can we let the commander see our strength. As we all know, he has rich resources in the distant Runeland. He has purchased countless magic weapons and is said to be looking for more flying magic cannons and star mortars. Once the quantity is sufficient, it will eventually come to our legion. At that time, which legion will get the equipment first, and how much will we get?"

Hearing this, Garen and Irelia's expressions suddenly dimmed.

Limited resources will naturally be provided to elite troops first.

The main force is well-equipped and can stand firm in magical conflicts.

In this way, Commander Karl will be more relied upon and his treatment will be more generous.

This will make it very difficult for other legions to stand out.

I still remember that when we were both battalion commanders, the First Battalion had two thousand magic soldiers and was the core force of the entire army. All honors were first tilted towards the First Battalion.

Thinking of this, Galen asked solemnly: "How sure are you?"

Ezreal knew that he had to earn their trust, so he answered firmly, “As long as we grit our teeth and reach Aurora within a day, we’ll have a good chance of winning!”

Garen and Irelia looked at each other and responded, "Okay! We'll bet with you on this one!"

Seeing that they agreed, Ezreal immediately announced: "Two days later, when night falls, the action will begin!"

On January 1943, 1, the three legions, totaling 7 soldiers, were divided into three groups. Each soldier had magic leggings wrapped around his legs and rushed towards Aurora.

To avoid detection by the Japanese sentinels, they bypassed villages and magical roads, enforcing the Dark Ban throughout the journey.

In order to boost morale, Ezreal chose to walk alongside the soldiers.

He walked in the ranks of the First Battalion of the Fourth Legion, and from time to time he shouted to his soldiers:

"Follow me, follow me!"

It was fine at first, but after a sleepless night, everyone looked tired in the early morning.

At this point they were only halfway there, and Ezreal, accustomed to riding a magical warhorse, was now finding it difficult to walk.

He leaned on a magic wand, bit his lip, and hurried on his way.

From time to time, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, work harder. Our 358th Legion is invincible against the evil shadow warriors. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers shouted with pride: "Yes!"

"The legendary prince has a pair of iron boots that can break through borders, but in my opinion, our 358th Legion is truly invincible. We are not afraid of any foreign races. In a race, will we lose to the prince's team?"

The soldiers shouted in unison. "No!"

"Keep going, and never show weakness in front of the Lord."

Encouraged by their generals, the warriors of the three columns of the 358th Legion only ate magic wheat powder and drank spiritual spring water when they were hungry, and then continued to advance into the mysterious misty forest.

At dawn on January 1, Tang Jin, commander of the 8rd Battalion of the th Corps, led his men to advance toward the Emerald Valley in Shuo County, but their pace was unusually slow.

In the headquarters of the Netherworld First Army in Taiyuan,

Upon hearing the report from Major General Hanatani Masaru, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi frowned.

He asked, "What exactly is the 358th Legion planning?"

At this rate, I’m afraid we may not be able to reach Emerald Valley even on the next full-moon night.

What is the purpose of the enemy's delaying tactics?

Major General Hanaya Masaru hesitated for a moment and responded, "General, could it be a trick of the enemy? They are deliberately marching slowly to paralyze us, and when we relax, they will suddenly speed up and give us a fatal blow?"

Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi gave an order after a pause: "If possible, we must be vigilant about the defense of Emerald Valley and not slack off to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation. At the same time, we must strengthen patrols around the area and not allow the enemy any opportunity to take advantage."

"As ordered!"

"Regarding the mysterious cannon of the 358th Legion, does the Special High Technology Department have any new information?"
