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

When Li Yunlong saw Zhu Ziming, his anger was like burning fire!

"Zhu Ziming, you traitor, the day I capture the city will be your doom. If I don't tear you into pieces, I, Li Yunlong, will be unworthy of being a human being!"

Zhu Ziming was slightly afraid, but at this moment he was fearless, completely indulging himself and completely immersed in the role of a traitor...

Zi Ming shouted proudly, "Li Yunyi, stop bluffing here. If it weren't for you, this evil dog, teaming up with Cao Ge to constantly oppress me, how could I betray you? Today's situation is all your fault."

"If you want to kill me, you have to break into the city first! Li Yunyi, can you take even a single step into this city? Look carefully, who is that person on the city wall?"

How dare this evil dog threaten me!

Li Yunyi was furious: "Ziming, you, a dog of the Cao family, dare to be so arrogant. Don't regret it when you fall into my hands."

How dare you compare me to a dog!

Ziming had long been filled with resentment towards Li Yunyi, hating him for always protecting Cao Ge, allowing Cao Ge to bully him at will.

When Ziming heard this, his hatred grew even stronger.

He was furious and roared at the city wall: "Li Yunyi, don't show off your power in front of me. I warn you, if you dare to attack, I will take off your wife's clothes and let my soldiers see her. Li Yunyi, come here if you dare!"

Li Yunyi, Zhang Dabiao and others were suddenly silent, their faces flushed with anger.

What a damned rebellious, cynical person!

Yang Xiuqin was furious, what a beast!

She couldn't help but scold: "Ziming, you beast, you will not have a good end. The more than 300 wronged souls in Zhaojiayu will come to find you. You are a Cao family evil dog, a cynic..."

When Zi Ming heard this, he became even more furious.

He walked up to her and slapped her twice, leaving Yang Xiuqin speechless.

"Ha ha……"

Ziming burst into laughter: "Li Yunyi, I have violated your wife, what can you do? Back then, you teamed up with Cao Ge to bully me, and today I will take it back from your wife. Haha, if you have the guts, attack the city for me to see, I will keep my word, haha..."

Li Yunyi, Zhang Dabiao and others were so angry that they almost flew away, but they could do nothing about this evil dog.

Yang Xiuqin was extremely angry and shouted to Li Yunyi: "Li Yunyi, don't worry about me, quickly attack the city and catch this evil dog of the Cao family to sacrifice to the more than 300 dead souls in Zhaojiayu..."

Yes, Yang Xiuqin did not mention the bombardment because Li Yunyi’s artillery position was not visible to her.

When Zi Ming saw her shouting like that, he immediately became frightened and slapped her twice to make her quiet down.

"You bitch, what are you yelling about? If you yell again, I will knock out your teeth, believe it or not?"

Yang Xiuqin's cheeks swelled up instantly. She knew that calling for help was useless and would only bring more pain.

Li Yunyi felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife and he almost cried.

He gritted his teeth, what a cynic!

Yamamoto Ikki's face was full of joy and he gave Ziming a thumbs up.

"Yoshi... Ziming, you did a great job. You are worthy of being an ally of the Imperial Army of our Great Empire."

He shouted down, "Li Yunyi, I heard that you are good at business. I have a deal for you. How about it?"

Hear the translator's retelling...

Li Yunlong's eyes were wide open and he shouted loudly: "Yamamoto Ikki, as a brave man of Osteria, you actually use women as chess pieces. What's the point of it? If you are interested, just face the challenge. Real heroes, fight with me!" He puffed out his chest and did not back down.

Yamamoto Ikki raised his lips and responded, "Li Yunlong, a defeated general, how dare you talk to me about bravery? In the battle of Zhaojiayu, you fled in panic like a defeated dog, and even abandoned your beloved bride in the flames of war. Haha, is this what you call a true hero? Hahahaha..."

The foreign soldiers on the city wall burst into laughter and the mocking sounds were endless, making Li Yunlong so angry that his whole body trembled.

"Zhang Dabiao, convey my instructions and launch an attack on the city immediately!" he ordered with gritted teeth.

"Captain, what about my sister-in-law? The devil Zhu Ziming is out of control and he will do anything crazy!" Zhang Dabiao reminded worriedly.

Yamamoto Ikki interrupted at the right time: "Li Yunlong, it is actually very easy for you to rescue your partner. There is no need to attack this city."

Li Yunlong roared: "Yamamoto Ikki, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Ha ha……"

Yamamoto Ikki was secretly pleased when he saw Li Yunlong was furious.

"Li Yunlong, you don't have to attack the city. Just hand over one of your subordinates to me in exchange, and I will return your partner unharmed. How about it?" he said leisurely.

Li Yunlong was curious when he heard this, and asked loudly: "Yamamoto thief, who do you want?"

Yamamoto Ikki replied: "Cao Geng, as long as you send Cao Geng to me, I will release your partner immediately. How about that? Cao Geng is just the deputy captain of the kitchen squad, a small lieutenant. I really feel indebted to him in exchange for your partner."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately roared: "Wishful thinking! Yamamoto Ikki, I warn you, don't have any wishful thinking. Not to mention that Cao Geng is not here now, even if he is, I will not sacrifice my brothers to save my wife. I say it again, if you release him now, I will withdraw my troops immediately. Otherwise, I will have to attack the city. I ask you for the last time, do you want to release him or not?"

Yamamoto Ikki sneered: "Li Yunlong, do you think I'm easy to bully? Unless Cao Geng comes in person, there's no point in talking. If you dare to attack the city, and Zhu Ziming does something shameful, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Dabiao hurried forward, grabbed Li Yunlong, and said anxiously: "Captain, calm down, my sister-in-law is still in their hands!"

"So what if my sister-in-law is in their hands? Are we not going to attack the city because of this? Pass the order, artillery units open fire! Infantry get ready, start the siege!"

Zhang Dabiao asked anxiously, "What should we do if that bastard Zhu Ziming really does something like that?"

Li Yunlong's eyes were red, and he shouted firmly: "Then use the cannon to kill them. Never allow that to happen!"

"This……"

Zhang Dabiao and Deputy Captain Xing were both shocked, and everyone around them was dumbfounded.

Deputy Head Xing said hurriedly: "Old Li, do you really want to do this?"

Li Yunlong said in a deep voice: "There is no other way. Convey my instructions, release the magic flame, and bombard the castle gate!"

"As ordered."

Zhang Dabiao took the order and passed the instruction to the magic artillery battalion.

Li Yunlong pointed at Yamamoto Ikki on the city wall and roared, "Yamamoto Ikki, this is your final decision. If you don't surrender, your city and life will be reduced to ashes in the next moment!"

Yamamoto Ikki responded arrogantly: "Haha, Li Yunlong, I want to see how you can shake this strong city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

On the other side of the mountain, with a rumbling sound, more than a dozen fireballs rose into the air, streaked across the sky, and flew rapidly towards their position, cleverly bypassing Yang Xiuqin's position.

"Damn you, Li Yunlong, you lunatic!"

Yamamoto Ikki was so frightened that he screamed.

"Quick, retreat, everyone retreat..."

While shouting, he ordered his men to escort Yang Xiuqin and Zhu Ziming to quickly evacuate the city wall and retreat back into the city.

Looking at the city wall being bombarded by the fiery magic, Yamamoto Ikki cursed: "Damn it, it shouldn't be like this, Zhu Ziming, does Li Yunlong have no feelings for this woman?"

Zhu Ziming smiled bitterly in his heart, but could only bite the bullet and answer: "He certainly loves her deeply, but Li Yunlong is a resolute battlefield commander, and emotions will not affect his decision-making."

At this moment, chaos has swept everywhere.

Two Japanese troops rushed into Ding Wei's defense zone, and he was full of confusion.

What exactly do these little demons want?

After checking the map, Ding Wei realized that Ping'an City was facing a catastrophe.

Although Ding Wei was not clear about what happened exactly, others told him that no matter what the Japanese invaders' purpose of going to Ping'an City was, even if it was just to celebrate a birthday, he had to stop them.

As a result, a fierce blocking battle broke out.

A large number of enemies also poured into Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment's defense zone, which shocked him.

He took out the map and after analyzing it with his staff, he guessed that Li Yunlong might be causing a catastrophe in Ping'an City.

Chu Yunfei asserted that no matter what the truth was, he would join the battle.

Therefore, the fierce fighting of the 358th Regiment was in full swing.

Kong Jie's defense zone was even more turbulent, as two brigades were approaching menacingly from the direction of Taiyuan.

However, the war had not yet broken out here, because the 321st Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the 217th Regiment of the Central Army had already engaged the enemy in a confused manner.

Northwest Shanxi fell into chaos and the entire region was in turmoil.

Inside the Eighth Route Army headquarters, seven or eight combat staff officers answered the phone anxiously, with countless question marks hanging over their heads, unable to understand the situation before them.

Calls came in from all over the country reporting encounters with the Japanese invaders, and they had no choice but to fight back. The deputy commander-in-chief finally managed to get a day to rest, but was recalled.

He was furious and asked loudly as soon as he entered the command center: "Why is this happening? Everything was normal yesterday, why is it suddenly a mess?"

A counselor approached him and reported: "Reporting to the deputy commander, news has come from all over the country that fighting with the demons has become the norm. However, we are still confused about the root cause of all these conflicts."

The deputy commander walked to the table, put his hands on it, stared at the map covered with mysterious runes, his mind also full of doubts!

"What is going on with these demons? Have they lost their minds? Why are they showing up? What is their purpose? The war is spreading everywhere, but our command center is unable to see the truth."

The commander next to him was equally puzzled.

"That's right! These demons are behaving strangely and are hard to understand. If it was just a sporadic encounter, it would be understandable, but why is it a full-scale war now? There must be a reason for the battle, right?"

The deputy commander responded eagerly: "Contact immediately and ask what went wrong."

In fact, there was no need for him to give orders, as all the communication runes in the command center had already been busy.

In Da Caozhuang, Cao Geng is enjoying a peaceful time.

He built a rocking chair himself, and lay under the shade of the trees, tasting magic melon seeds and watching the warriors practicing spells and archery.

Although the M1 Garand Magic Crystal Bow is precious, its arrows are easy to purchase. Its arrows are compatible with the Springfield Magic Crystal Bow and the price is acceptable.

The brigade has special channels, and everything can be solved as long as you have gold coins.

The Eighth Route Army's workshop can also be reloaded, again only looking at gold coins.

In this case, how can we not train diligently? Cao Geng I worry about everything except money.

Therefore, with the support of a powerful force, one can indeed enjoy comfort.

The brigade commander probably also understood the importance of this group of soldiers. Such a force is unique not only for the Eighth Route Army, but also in the entire fantasy continent.

So, as long as Cao Geng provided enough gold coins, the brigade commander would provide mountains of arrows without hesitation and let them squander them.

In fact, the brigade commander was secretly calculating the value of these soldiers.

Our Great Thief's Hand is not called that for nothing.

Cao Geng Maybe he doesn’t need to be a thief and doesn’t need to steal bows and arrows, but he can “steal” these soldiers!

Unfortunately, Cao Geng has not yet realized this and is still keen on training soldiers.

Just then, a soldier came over.

"Adjutant, the brigade commander asks you to go to the headquarters."

Cao Geng rolled his eyes at him, chewed a melon seed, and said, "He must be trying to trick me again. Go back and tell him that there are ten arrows left. When they are used up, come back."

The soldier said hurriedly, "Adjutant, you'd better go! It looks like something bad is going to happen."

"What? Something bad? What could be so bad? Really."

The soldier replied: "I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I saw the brigade commander was furious."

Cao Geng's eyes widened instantly: "Are you really angry? What's going on?"

The soldier replied: "I really don't know, but it's a big deal anyway."

Cao Geng stopped pretending and immediately stood up and followed the soldier to the headquarters.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard the brigade commander's loud voice roaring...

"Li Yunlong, I knew it was him. That's right, only he would be so bold. Oh, it has only been a while since the situation was settled, and he has caused trouble again. Oh my God!"

When Cao Geng heard this, he suddenly felt the magic power around him become disordered.

He immediately broke into the tactical command post: "Lord, what happened?"

When the lord heard his voice, his voice instantly rose.

"What is it? If I don't know the details, does your legion commander know? At this moment, he is stirring up trouble in Ping'an City! Look here, the entire northern Shanxi wilderness and even the Shanxi region are engulfed in flames of war. Tell me, what exactly is your heroic legion commander planning?"
