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

Upon seeing this, Cao Geng quickly shouted, "What are you doing? I am Chinese!"

what?

Those who pointed guns at Cao Geng were stunned...

Cao Geng hastily clarified: "I am just wearing the clothes of the ghost tribe. The conflict outside is the chaos caused by my disguise."

Ok?

Everyone was shocked again. How could this work? Just by dressing up as a ghost tribe, they could make their own kind kill each other!

They were all dressed in the civilian attire of an Eastern country, and one could tell at a glance that they were our own people.

Seeing this, Cao Geng finally breathed a sigh of relief and suggested, "Can we find a place to sit down and talk in detail? There are so many of you, you don't have to point your weapons at me all the time, right?"

Indeed, Cao Geng was alone, where could he escape to?

A middle-aged man in a robe asked, "Then tell me, who are you?"

Since they were confirmed to be fellow Easterners, Cao Geng also put down his guard. Whether they were from the Eighth Route Army or the Central Army, it should not be a big deal to reveal their identities. After all, at this moment, the two armies were joining forces to resist the invasion of darkness.

Cao Geng replied: "I am a member of the Eighth Route Army."

Everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

The middle-aged man in the robe confirmed: "Are you really an Eighth Route Army soldier?"

From their expressions, Cao Geng knew they were friendly forces.

He confirmed: "Yes, I am Cao Geng from the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army."

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with surprise: "Ah? You are Cao Geng, the deputy squad leader of the independent regiment's cooking squad who fought with Li Yunlong?"

There was excitement in his words.

Cao Geng smiled and said, "Of course, who would pretend to be someone like that? I'm not a prominent figure."

"Oh my, it's really the torrent of fate that has destroyed the Longcao Temple! Put down your weapons quickly, put them down quickly..."

The middle-aged man said, and stepped forward to hold Cao Geng: "Come on, Comrade Cao Geng, let's talk inside."

Cao Geng was surprised. How could his name have such an influence? Even people as far away as Taiyuan were so respectful to him?

The middle-aged man led him into the house, asked him to sit down, and then enthusiastically poured him a cup of hot tea.

"Come on, Comrade Cao Geng, drink some hot tea first to warm your body."

Three or four more middle-aged men followed in, stood beside the table, and looked at Cao Geng eagerly.

What kind of look is that? It's a bit disturbing!

Cao Geng asked in confusion: "Excuse me, who are you?"

The middle-aged man replied: "My name is Luo Guang. Like them, I am a comrade you saved from the dark forces when you cracked the secret code last time."

That’s right, the outside world believed that the secret code was sent by Li Yunlong, but after inquiring, they, the rescued people, learned that the real decoder of the secret code was Cao Geng.

Although they had never seen Cao Geng, they remembered this name.

"Oh! I understand your identities now."

After hearing what they said, Cao Geng finally picked up the cup of hot tea and took a sip.

Then he asked, "What are you doing here? Why are so many people hiding here?"

The middle-aged man named Luo Guang explained: "We are all intelligence personnel carrying out a secret operation in Taiyuan. The dark creatures suddenly started fighting outside, so we had no choice but to hide here."

Understood!

Cao Geng suddenly realized that these people were members of our intelligence network...

Cao Geng talked with them for a while and roughly understood their situation. In this corner of this strange world, these people temporarily lived here, hiding from the world. About thirty refugees gathered here.

When asked whether there were still living beings in the outside world, Cao Geng was reluctant to ask. After listening to their story, it was their turn to ask Cao Geng.

The man named Luo Guang asked, "Mr. Cao Geng, why did you appear in this mysterious place of Taiyuan?"

Cao Geng replied: "Speaking of this, it is really a twist of fate. Originally, I came here to deal with the demon Shinozuka Yoshio, but I accidentally eliminated the commander of the 56th Legion."

"Oh?"

Cao Geng's words stunned everyone. To accidentally wipe out a legion commander and call it misfortune?

If I could be so lucky, I would pray several times a day! "It turns out that the leader of the 56th Legion was killed by you. We thought it was done by one of our own and were looking for clues everywhere. Mr. Cao Geng, your strength is amazing."

Cao Geng's face flashed with embarrassment: "What's so great about that? You can even kill the wrong person. Is that considered a skill?"

Indeed, if this trip had taken place in his previous life, such mistakes would never have happened. Because in his previous life, every assassination target had detailed photos and investigations. Now, he only killed the enemy blindly based on his intuition. The two are incomparable.

Luo Guang asked: "What happened in the outside world? Why are those demons killing each other?"

Cao Geng had no choice but to give a brief account of what had happened. Even so, everyone was speechless and shocked after hearing his account.

At this moment, they only had one thought in their minds: Can the demons be eliminated in this way? Disguise as one of them, sneak in to create chaos, and then they will kill each other?

It sounded like an oracle, no, more like a fantasy legend. Luo Guang was surprised and said, "Mr. Cao Geng, your wisdom is really admirable. How did you do it? How did you predict that the demons would fight among themselves? This is simply unbelievable."

"That's true..."

The others echoed and looked at Cao Geng eagerly, hoping that he would reveal the secret.

Cao Geng was surprised to respond: "Actually I didn't have any plans, I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to come true. What can I do?"

Click...Several people felt speechless at this moment.

Inside the house, they continued to talk, while outside, more than 20 people stood guard for them with daggers. On the street, the fight between the demons gradually subsided.

As the gunfire died down, Cao Geng immediately said, "Brothers, the fighting outside has stopped. I have to go find my companion. I wonder how he is doing."

Luo Guang and others hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Cao Geng, it is not appropriate to go out now. It is too dangerous."

Cao Geng said firmly: "No, I must go find my brother. He came with me, and I will bring him back myself."

Luo Guang held him and said, "Brother Claude, listen to me. Your brother is outside. If he had met with misfortune during the fierce battle with the demons just now, he would have been like this. Now that he is safe, you don't need to take risks. Going out now is really dangerous."

Claude replied firmly: "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I have to go and find him. I want to see him alive or dead."

Luo Guang and his companions tried their best to keep him and followed him all the way out of the courtyard, but Claude's determination was unshakable.

Claude asked a scout, "Are there any more demons out there?"

The scout replied, "No."

Claude took a few running steps in the yard and nimbly climbed over the stone wall.

Luo Guang said to the soldiers around him: "The one just now was Claude. He is one of ours and also our benefactor. You must remember him and not offend him. Do you understand?"

The soldiers nodded quickly.

Claude came to the outside world. It was quiet at this time. There were corpses all over the ground. The silence was eerie.

Claude began to walk on the street. The demons knew that they had mistakenly attacked him, so he was relatively safe in his demon uniform.

He walked around the street but still couldn't find Zheng Xiao. He felt it would be a pity not to pick up the magic ammunition all over the ground, so he started picking them up.

When he saw the dagger, he put it at his waist; when he found the light magic gun, he carried it on his shoulder.

When he returned to Luo Guang and his team's base, he was carrying more than a dozen light magic guns.

As soon as the sentinels saw Claude returning, they immediately opened the door for him.

Claude took off the light magic gun and threw it on the ground.

The soldiers rushed forward, holding guns, their faces filled with joy.

Oh my god, there are so many crooked light magic guns, and they come in bundles.

Comrade Claude is truly extraordinary and brave.

Luo Guang led everyone out and shouted to them, "Quick, move these things into the house."

The soldiers quickly picked up the crooked-handled light magic guns and ran back into the house.

Claude said to them, "Come on, come with me to pick up magic weapons. Bring back more before the demons come out."

Seeing that Claude had been safe and sound for so long, Luo Guang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, brothers, pick up weapons together and move on immediately after picking them up."

That's right, if you pick up a weapon here, it will definitely attract attention, and this place can't be used again. Otherwise, the demons will come to your door.

Now that Claude has retrieved the weapon, let's move to another location!

So, a group of people followed Claude out to pick up magic weapons.

There are magic ammunition everywhere on the streets. Who can resist being tempted except for civilians?

At this moment, inside the demon headquarters.

Several regiment commanders and brigade commanders stood there, enduring the angry beatings of Yoshio Shinozuka.

“Damn it… Damn it… Damn it…”

"Are you all idiots? Killing each other and beating each other to death. Are your heads full of pumpkins?"

Ito Yoshio was on the verge of collapse.

Due to this sudden change, thousands of soldiers disappeared in an instant.

Would he not be crazy?

Seeing that he was about to abdicate, these guys caused such trouble again, as if they wanted him to have no peace when he left office.

This is simply going to make him leave with a restless heart!

Yoshio Yamada stood there, his face full of trouble and anxiety.

Ito Yoshio's abdication was not smooth, and his successor also had a difficult time!

When he took over the position, he not only lost a legion commander, but also lost thousands of elite soldiers under his command. How should he explain this to his superiors?

He also wanted to go up and slap those brigade commanders and regiment commanders hard to vent his anger, but Ito Yoshio had already done it, and if he did it again, it would seem too inappropriate.

The frustration in my heart is hard to express in words!

After venting their emotions, the two leaders looked at each other, almost in tears.

However, they have not yet realized that even more frustrating things are yet to come.

At this time, a Japanese captain broke in with a strange gun and saluted Yamada Yoshio and reported: "General, we found such a weapon in the room of the two assassins. Obviously, this is a rune gun, but its structure and appearance are completely different from common firearms. Our warriors have never seen such a weapon."

"Ok?"

Yoshio Yamada took the gun and examined it carefully.

Yoshio Yamada is indeed a great man with immense knowledge and experience.

He nodded. "This is a gun from the distant country of Aryan. If I'm not mistaken, it's an M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle. This gun is rare in Aryan. How could it appear here? It's really strange."

Yes, in his memory, the Aryans still used Springfield rifles. He did not know that the Aryans had begun to gradually update their equipment.

After all, due to the limitations of the times, information blockage is inevitable.

As soon as Yamada Yoshio finished speaking, Ito Yoshio almost fell to the ground.

Indeed, someone from the Taikoo League escaped and sent a pigeon message, saying that the Eighth Route Army had used rune rifles capable of continuous fire and had defeated them.

At that time, Ito Yoshio did not believe it and accused them of making excuses for their failure.

As long as Ito Yoshio used his brain a little, he would know that this was impossible. How could the Eighth Route Army afford such a gun?

Now, he saw the real thing with his own eyes.

Yoshio Ito rushed over, snatched the gun from Yoshio Yamada, and studied it carefully.

After reading it, Ito Yoshio's hands trembled slightly and he kept shaking his head.

"Impossible, how is this possible? I can't believe it. Even Dusty wouldn't believe it."

Yamada Yoshio immediately noticed something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "General Ito, what's wrong with you?"

Ito Yoshio held his gun in silence for a long time, and finally spoke: "At that time, two battalions of the Taikoo League went to Da Caozhuang to deal with two companies of the Eighth Route Army. No, the information we got was false."

"In fact, there should have been a regiment of about 3,000 people stationed in Dacaozhuang at that time. When the two battalions of the Taikoo regiment encountered them, they were defeated. In the end, even the commander of the Taikoo regiment died there."

"Afterwards, a squadron leader escaped from the battlefield and passed me a rune letter, saying that the Earth Militia had a mysterious spear that could trigger a chain reaction. How could I believe it so easily? I thought it was an excuse for their defeat, so I ordered them to be punished."

"Indeed, I never expected that all this would be true. The Earth Militia actually possesses such strength. General Yansong, if their entire army is equipped with such weapons, can our great imperial cavalry still win?"

"how you said that?"

Upon hearing this, Iwamatsu Yoshio felt his heart as heavy as a rock. Since arriving in Taiyuan City, he had been hearing bad news one after another!

How he wanted to ask, is it too late to withdraw now?

This situation caused the two ghost leaders to fall into endless confusion.

Seeing that the regiment and brigade commanders were still standing there, Iwamatsu Yoshio suddenly roared: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go and collect the bodies of those brave soldiers? There are magic bullets all over the ground outside, are you going to throw them away? This is extremely abominable..."
