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

Zheng Xiao's eyes widened: "Going to Taiyuan? What are you going there for?"

Cao Geng replied impatiently: "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Go and get ready. Hurry up."

"Yes, as ordered."

Zheng Xiao responded and left quickly.

A moment later, the two men each carried a Garland spear that was flashing with magic and quietly left Da Caozhuang.

They were walking on the road.

Zheng Xiao frowned and asked, "Deputy Captain, why don't you use a flying bird to go to Taiyuan, which is so far away? If we walk like this, how long will it take to reach Taiyuan?"

Cao Geng rolled his eyes and said, "By riding a flying bird, can we leave this area smoothly?"

"Oh! If we sneak out, how are we going to get back then?"

Cao Geng said: "Are you scared? If you are, you can go back now."

"No, why would I be afraid? I'm just worried that you will be punished."

"Hehe, I wish they would punish me!"

The two chatted as they walked for a whole day, and finally left the Eighth Route Army's protection area.

The next morning, the two were walking on the road and found a small checkpoint set up by the Japanese army.

From here to Taiyuan, I wonder how many more checkpoints like this are waiting for them.

"Deputy Commander, there is a Japanese checkpoint ahead. There are dozens of Japanese soldiers. How should we deal with them? Let's go around the mountains!"

Cao Geng responded with contempt: "Nonsense, when have I ever seen Cao Geng choose to avoid the Japanese army?"

"Then what do we do?"

"Go up and find a chance to deal with them."

The Japanese military's checkpoints were usually set up in places with wide views to facilitate monitoring of the surroundings.

When the two men approached the checkpoint within a hundred steps, the Japanese soldiers on the artillery tower blew the siren.

"Beep beep..."

"Tubalu, there are two Tubalu ahead..."

Cao Geng held the magic Garand spear and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom……"

The Japanese soldier fell to the ground, and his soul went straight to the Western Paradise.

"Bakayaro, the enemy is attacking... the enemy is attacking..."

The Japanese and puppet troops were suddenly thrown into chaos.

Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops rushed out of the artillery tower and attacked this side.

Inside the turret, a light machine gun poked out, aiming at the firing hole on this side.

Cao Geng raised his gun and shot the machine gunner dead with one shot...

Zheng Yi was unambiguous. The ancient Ruger rune gun in his hand emitted bursts of explosions, and the puppet soldiers fell to the ground one after another under the impact of the mysterious force.

Cao Geng shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Fighting against the demons, those guys are the real threat, why attack these deceived compatriots? Is this your first time on the battlefield?"

Zheng Yi remained silent and aimed firmly at the demons. After a burst of shots, the demons' heads burst and they fell in a pool of blood.

"Hehe...boy, I didn't expect that you are not only so skilled in martial arts, but also so good at shooting. Very good, very good, it seems that I have picked up a treasure. Haha..."

The Soul Devouring Spear in Cao Geng's hand accurately hit the demon's heavy machine gun on the upper floor, and his free hand could also quickly deal with the approaching demons.

Zheng Yi's marksmanship was equally outstanding. The attack of dozens of demons and puppet soldiers was turned into a land of death under his and Cao Geng's guns.

This scene frightened the demons and puppet troops so much that they never dared to show up again. The intimidation of the two killing gods was too shocking.

The demons whispered in their hearts: We have never seen such powerful underground resistance fighters in our lives.

Cao Geng smiled and said, "Will you be safe if you hide in there? Look at what I can do."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Geng pulled out a finely crafted curse-explosion grenade from his pocket, lit the fuse, and threw it towards the demon fortress.

The grenade drew an elegant trajectory and smashed into the firing hole of the fortress. Then a loud bang was heard. The demons on the fourth floor were probably no longer able to survive.

"Oh my god, Captain, is that a magic mortar or a grenade? It's so scary!"

Zheng Xiao was amazed.

Zheng had always heard people praise Cao Geng for his prowess, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was always dissatisfied. But after seeing it with his own eyes today, he was completely convinced.

As the saying goes, strength can defeat skill. Anyone who can throw a grenade so far is definitely not an easy opponent, even if he has not received formal training.

Not to mention Cao Geng's prestige in the resistance organization, which is even more awe-inspiring.

"hey-hey……"

Cao Geng raised his lips and said, "I was born with supernatural powers. This is not something you can get just by envying others."

As soon as Cao Geng finished speaking, he threw another grenade, and the demons on the third floor disappeared.

At this point, the demons and puppet troops could no longer endure and fled from the fortress.

Zheng Xiao stopped laughing and fired his shots with deadly force, knocking them down one by one.

Cao Geng was equally decisive. He threw a curse-explosive grenade on the second and first floors respectively, and no demon in the fortress was spared.

All the demons on the four floors were cleared out by Cao Geng, and everything returned to silence.

This is just a small demon outpost, there shouldn't be many people. There are two buildings below, which may be storage warehouses.

Cao Geng said, "You stay here and I'll go over first."

After saying that, Cao Geng immediately jumped out of the shelter and ran quickly towards the demon outpost.

"No, it's dangerous..."

Before Zheng Yi finished speaking, Cao Geng had already rushed out more than ten steps away.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Yi stopped trying to dissuade him and focused on observing his surroundings to provide cover for Cao Geng.

Cao Geng was not reckless, but he acted in this way because he did not perceive any crisis.

Sure enough, the journey was safe and sound.

Soon, Cao Geng arrived at the demon outpost, where all the demons and puppet troops had been annihilated. Cao Geng mercilessly shot at those who were still breathing.

Soon, Cao Geng conducted a thorough search inside the checkpoint, leaving no hope for survival.

He found a half-full stockpile of magical grain inside the warehouse.

Two magic tricycles and an armored freight carriage were parked outside the checkpoint.

"Oh, what a waste."

Cao Geng absorbed the magic fuel from the tricycle and sprinkled it into every corner of the warehouse.

Zheng Yi came to help, tied up two large bundles of spiritual wood and placed them in the shade on the first floor.

Cao Geng suggested: "Put on enemy uniforms and drive the carriage to Taiano City."

"okay……"

When Zheng Yi heard that he didn't have to walk, he was overjoyed and immediately took off his Japanese military uniform and prepared to change.

In the end, Zheng Yi drove the carriage and took Cao Geng with him to escape from the checkpoint occupied by demons.

Behind him, raging flames lit up the night sky.

A moment later, there was a deafening roar of explosions.

While driving, Zheng Xiao joked, "Deputy Captain, do you think that we, who committed murder and arson, will be sent to hell after we die?"

Cao Geng responded disdainfully: "Nonsense, we will go to the Nine Heavens Fairyland, don't forget it."

Zheng Xiao was puzzled: "Why?"

Cao Geng explained: "These demons are not human, but evil insects that harm living beings. Our actions are not evil, but we are eliminating demons and defending the way. If we do more of these things, we will naturally be able to ascend to the fairyland. Do you understand?"

Zheng Xiao nodded: "Deputy Captain, that makes sense."

Cao Geng said: "Zheng Xiao, now that we have entered enemy territory, it is time to change our code name."

Zheng Xiao asked: "Deputy Captain, what should I call you?"

Cao Geng pondered, "I need to think about this carefully. I'd better give myself a devil name first! I once had a cool title called Yamamoto One Thousand and One Nights. How about that?"

Zheng Xiao retorted: "No, how can the vice-captain be lower than that idiot Yamamoto Isoroku? How about calling him Yamamoto 1002?"

Cao Geng nodded in agreement: "Not bad, one thousand and two, bigger than that idiot, okay, from now on I will be called Yamamoto One Thousand and Two. What about you? Have you thought of a name?"

Zheng Xiao replied: "I can't be older than the vice-captain, so let me be called Yamamoto One Thousand and One Nights!"

"Hey, kid, you're attracted by my reputation? Fine, I'll let you be Yamamoto of One Thousand and One Nights. Haha..."

As the two were chatting and laughing, a convoy of demons came towards them.

There were several armored vehicles, obviously a whole team of demon soldiers.

Zheng Xiao didn't care and drove the car to the side to make way.

Unexpectedly, the car in front suddenly braked and stopped.

A demon got out of the car and walked towards the driver's seat, asking, "What happened up ahead? Why are there gunshots and explosions?"

Zheng Yi immediately became nervous and subconsciously looked at Cao Geng.

Cao Geng quickly responded: "There are resistance forces, a large number of resistance forces. They have cut off our transmission line. We are just about to go back and report!"

The demon nodded: "Oh, Xi, then you go back and report! We will go check it out first."

With that, the demon leapt back into the car, and the convoy roared forward again.

Zheng Xiao stepped on the accelerator and passed them by.

Cao Geng asked, "How's your Japanese study going, little brat?"

Zheng Xiao's expression turned into a bitter smile. He whispered, "No one can surpass me in learning magic, but what the magician from another world said just now was too profound and too fast. How can I understand the secret?"

"Are your magical attainments really that high?"

"Indeed, Vice Captain. If you don't believe me, feel free to test me."

"You have a very clever tongue, little one."

"Good day, sir, is that correct?"

"Oh, you do have some basics! How do you say good morning?"

"Oh haha, noble morning light, right?"

"Boy, are you laughing at me? It should be Oh Ha Yo, the noble dawn, the dawn, not the morning light. Any wizard from another world will know you are a fake when he hears this pronunciation."

As they were talking, their carriage drove through a forest, and a checkpoint of alien guards appeared in front of them.

Zheng Yi immediately felt nervous.

"Deputy Captain, there is another checkpoint guarded by an alien world ahead. How should we deal with it?"

That’s right, you must not force your way through the checkpoints here. Once a conflict occurs, it is likely to lead to a siege.

More importantly, it was a large magical barrier.

Cao Geng comforted him: "Why be nervous? Just keep silent for a while and let me handle everything."

"As ordered!"

Soon, the carriage was stopped by a sentry, and a small alien guard approached, but he had not yet spoken.

Cao Geng has already shouted angrily: "Desecrator, why are you blocking our way? The outpost has been attacked by the evil warriors, and we are in a hurry to report back. Time is running out. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately replied respectfully: "Yes, pass immediately, pass quickly."

He was so obedient because the team just now started from here.

You dare to stop us from going back to gather reinforcements? Aren't you seeking death?

The roadblocks were quickly removed, Zheng Yi stepped on the accelerator pedal, and the carriage rumbled forward again.

As soon as he left the alien checkpoint, Zheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and gave Cao Geng a thumbs up.

"Very good……"

"Deputy Captain, you are really..."

Cao Geng responded somewhat helplessly: "Why can't I change it? Don't call me deputy captain anymore, call me second lieutenant. Or you can call me second lieutenant Yamamoto."

"Hey, Lieutenant, hahahaha..."

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and successfully passed the checkpoints guarded by the alien world.

After two days of travel, at dusk on the second day, they arrived at the city of Taiyuan.

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the alien guards stationed there directly ordered the puppet army to open the roadblocks.

The carriage buzzed into the city of Taiyuan.

It’s not that the alien guards here neglected their duties, but Taiyuan City has not been invaded by evil warriors for a long time.

Even if there were any, they were minor conflicts that were quickly resolved like a cat-and-mouse game.

Simply put, the alien guards are not afraid of the fel warriors causing trouble here.

What is Taiyuan? Is this the center of the alien forces in Shanxi? The city is full of alien guards, and no one who dares to provoke them will survive.

After entering the city, the two men stopped the carriage on the side of the road, got off and looked for a tavern.

As soon as I walked in, the waiter came to greet me with a smile on his face.

"Two brave travelers, please come in. Do you plan to stay overnight or have a meal?"

Cao Geng said in ancient Chinese with an exotic accent: "We don't need a wing room for dining, the hall will do. Find a place by the window for us, so we can enjoy the wonderful view outside."

"As you command, my lords. Please take me to the second floor."

The two followed the waiter into the second floor.

At this moment, almost all the diners on the second floor were dressed as foreigners.

They ignored others and chose a seat by the window.

The servant asked, "My lords, what kind of food would you like to taste?"

Cao Geng slapped a few strange gold coins on the table and said, "Give me a meat platter, a pig's trotter, and any other specialty of your store. The extra will be your reward. But remember not to spit out impurities in the food. If I find out, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Yes, yes, yes... Sir, we regard you as a friend and will never do such a thing."

The servant was delighted, for he had never seen such a generous foreigner.

I'm afraid most of these gold coins will become his extra income.

Cao Geng did not understand the value of gold coins at that time. He only knew that if they were not used soon, their value would gradually depreciate until they were useless.

Therefore, he carried this kind of currency with him on this trip. If you have money, you can spend it as much as you want.

Zheng Xiao, on the other side, was heartbroken. He had never seen anyone spend money like water.

The two ate quietly, listening attentively to the conversations of the foreigners around them.

In recent days, no matter whether they are foreigners or locals, all they talk about is Yoshio Shinozuka.

It was inevitable that a foreign leader was about to step down, which was undoubtedly big news.

What's more important is that people dare to discuss this matter publicly.

Yoshio Shinozuka is about to leave, and as the saying goes, when people leave, the tea gets cold, so why should we be afraid?

As he listened, Cao Geng's eyes sparkled.
