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

Major General Hanaya Masaru shook his head and said, "The Special High Technology Department, the Military Police, and the Ume Agency still have different opinions.

The Special High Technology Department insisted that there was no giant cannon, but that the 358th Legion had disguised itself as a giant mortar using oil barrels and magic explosives.

而军事警察则坚信那是358军团从苏里亚王国购得的武器，因为已知他们拥有苏里亚的120毫米幻影迫击炮。他们推测是第九旅团的士兵混淆了，将苏里亚1938年的152毫米野战榴弹炮误认为了203毫米超大口径的神秘炮。

As for the Mei Agency, they stubbornly denied the existence of the super-large-caliber cannon, believing that this was a lie fabricated by the 9th Brigade to evade responsibility for the defeat.

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Why is the intelligence about the 358th Legion always so confusing?

It is precisely because the intelligence of the 358th Legion is vague that it has not dared to act rashly until now, for fear of falling into a situation of futile efforts again.

However, if the enemy's continuous attacks are not completely eliminated, they will severely undermine the morale of the Imperial Army. More importantly, this will also make those forces that resist our Imperial Army mistakenly believe that our Imperial Army has weakened.

This is not good news!

Ugh!

The general is wise, but too cautious.

At about 3:00 p.m., while Lieutenant General Yoshimoto Sadaichi was complaining about Okamura Yasuji's caution,

Major General Hanaya Masaru stepped in and saluted, "General, your wisdom is as great as a god. In addition to the slowly advancing enemy troops, the scouts did discover another force of nearly 500 people, which is rapidly advancing along the mountain path towards Emerald Valley. They may arrive tonight!"

In the distant continent of Aris, General Yoshimoto Sadaichi sneered and said, "Sure enough, Cao Geng, that cunning wizard, will not act easily. Send a message to Yoshino, this time we must be fully prepared and give the enemy a fatal blow, so that Cao Geng's conspiracy will backfire!"

Hanaya Masaru, the brave major general, responded with excitement: "Yes, sir!"

Inside the ancient Shuo County Castle.

Colonel Yoshino, leader of the Alliance team, received the order from the Royal Court and immediately summoned his knights.

"The enemy attempted a surprise attack on Emerald Valley. Yagi!"

The captain of the 227th Knight Battalion, Yaginori, a resolute lieutenant, responded respectfully, "As you command!"

"I will lead two large groups to attack the Emerald Valley guards from both inside and outside. Yagi, you stay in the castle and ensure the safety of the city."

Yaginnoji bowed and said, "As you command!"

An hour later, Colonel Yoshino and the 228th and 229th Knight Battalions galloped towards Emerald Valley, preparing to ambush the second and third brigades from the four ranger units.

When the foreign soldiers in Shuo County Castle were fully focused on the movements in Emerald Valley.

On the ninth day of the month, at eleven o'clock in the evening, the first brigade of four ranger troops, after a nearly thirty-hour journey, arrived at the ancient town of Shuo County Castle.

After counting the number of people, we found that although many fell behind during the journey, most of the warriors remained tenacious.

The original team of 500 people now still has nearly 400 fighters.

Cheng Yuqing took a sip from the crystal water bottle, calmed his breath and said, "Brothers, I know everyone is exhausted, and so am I. But we can't stop now, we must capture the railway station in one fell swoop. As long as we occupy it, Shuo County will fall into our hands! Brothers, seize the railway station and liberate Shuo County!"

The rangers of the 1st Brigade shouted in response.

"Seize the railway station and liberate Shuo County!"

It was a dark night, and they were not wearing the armor of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, but were wearing the clothes of ordinary people.

They hid behind the hillside outside the Shuo County Railway Station, conducted a careful investigation, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual.

Cheng Yuqing pulled out his magic pistol, fired into the air, and shouted, "Brothers, charge!"

The trumpeter immediately blew the battle horn.

At the sound of gunfire, followed by the blast of a bugle call, the soldiers of the 1st Brigade leaped up and rushed toward the railway station shouting.

In the cold winter, Tsukada Takezawa, the stationmaster of Saku County Railway Station, was hiding in his office, enjoying the delicious peanuts, roasted chicken and Fenjiu.

Suddenly, there was a loud gunshot, followed by the deafening sound of a horn. Tsukada Takezawa was so frightened that he almost trembled and almost collapsed!

He was terrified: "Could it be those freedom fighters attacking again?"

It was not that his imagination was exaggerated, but the attacks of the freedom fighters were frequent and fierce.

As he shouted, he quickly took out the Nambu Type 14 Magic Pistol from the drawer and hid under the desk.

When the railway station came under attack, the Japanese squad on guard quickly picked up their weapons and rushed towards the fortifications, ready to fight.

After hearing the stationmaster's warning, the alien soldiers saw the enemies dressed in different clothes and immediately shouted, "It's the freedom fighters!"

When Takezawa Tsukada heard the confirmation, he cursed inwardly.

The damn freedom fighters are attacking again.

Their resistance seems endless...

In the cold wind of severe winter, the tranquility is broken!

He leaned over to pick up the magic communicator on the table and quickly turned the spirit pattern dial to connect with the alliance command post.

"Hello! Is this the command post? I'm the station guard. The night elves have launched a surprise attack. Requesting tactical instructions!"

General Yoshino led his troops to Emerald Valley to set up an ambush, intending to besiege the 358th Brigade. At this time, Gutong City was guarded by Major General Yaginnoji.

When he learned that the train station was attacked by the night elves, he did not think much about it, even though he suspected that this raid was too coincidental. After all, it was normal for the night elves to attack the Sun Road and the Moon Shadow Road.

He immediately gave the messenger an order: "Notify Captain Zhong Gaohong to leave the city immediately and support the train station!"

After completing the contact, Takezawa Tsukada struggled to stand up, but was still unable to stand firmly.

Suddenly, a magic energy bomb penetrated the window and broke into the office.

Tsukada Takezawa was horrified when he saw this.

His short and heavy body instantly bounced up, shattered the glass, and rushed out of the room. Almost at the same time, the bomb exploded.

roar!

The glass in the room was shattered into dust by the shock wave, and many fragments fell on Takezawa Tsukada. When he realized that he had escaped death, he still couldn't figure out the situation when he looked up, and saw broken limbs and organs flying all over the hall of the train station.

The Japanese and their vassal troops rolled and wailed in agony at the train station, many of them were hit by magic arrows and screamed miserably. The scene was extremely tragic.

After suppressing the enemy's firepower, the First Battalion of the Fourth Column bravely rushed towards the railway station.

Shuo County Railway Station is a small base and serves only as a rest stop.

On weekdays, there is only a small team of Japanese samurai, 14 dark soldiers, and a platoon of 44 vassal troops stationed there.

Faced with the more than 400 soldiers of the First Battalion of the Fourth Column, these troops seemed vulnerable.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the interweaving forest of magic guns wiped out all the enemies in the station.

Seeing that the enemy had been eliminated, Cheng Yuqing shouted: "Quickly deal with the remaining enemies and clean up the battlefield. Move quickly!"

"Everyone, hurry up and build fortifications to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. Hurry!"

Colonel Yoshino, who was leading his team to Emerald Valley, received an urgent magic message from Major General Yaginohiro.

He held the message tremblingly, his face pale and sweat pouring down.

Shuo County Railway Station was attacked!

This is a major crisis!
