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

After dispersing the demon soldiers below, Iwamatsu Yoshio said to Shinozuka Yoshio: "General Shinozuka, how did the Earth Militia raise funds to purchase these demon soldiers?"

Shinozuka Yoshio replied: "I don't know about this, but it has been confirmed that a 3,000-man army is equipped with such weapons on a large scale. General Iwamatsu, I am really worried!"

Iwamatsu Yoshio retorted: "This is impossible, absolutely impossible. This kind of magic soldier is priceless. How can the Earth Militia afford it? It is already difficult for them to ensure food and clothing. Unless..."

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes sparkled as he pressed on, "Unless what?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio speculated: "Unless it is funded by the Amerian continent, but that is unrealistic. They themselves have not yet popularized this kind of magic weapon!"

Shinozuka Yoshio said with a headache: "Let's not talk about the source of these demon soldiers for now. What I want to ask is, if the Earth Militia is fully equipped, what will you do?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then slowly said, "We cannot win unless our great empire also updates its equipment."

Shinozuka Yoshio smiled bitterly: "General Yansong, don't hold your hopes too high. You are not unaware of the domestic situation. Do you think it's possible?"

That's right!

is it possible?

Others may not understand, but they know it very well in their hearts.

The answer is still the same: impossible, absolutely impossible.

Iwamatsu Yoshio shook his head and said, "General Shinozuka, I'm beginning to regret coming here."

outside world.

When the ghost soldiers went out to collect the bodies, it was almost dusk.

Cao Geng and his team had already collected their weapons and started to move to other places. With limited numbers, they could not take too much with them.

Cao Geng followed them to a simple courtyard and, under the guidance of Luo Guang, came to a well.

Then, a soldier descended with a rope...

The ancient rune guns were wrapped in ropes and carefully lowered to the bottom of the well, where an armored warrior waited in the darkness to take over.

Cao Geng was dumbfounded by the scene before him!

These were not simply sunk into the well, but into a mysterious tunnel beneath it.

After all the weapons were delivered, the group quietly sneaked into the bottom of the well with the help of ropes, and then followed the deep tunnel to an unknown courtyard.

Is this the legendary secret passage?

When Cao Geng emerged from the tunnel, he was lost in the fog of time and space and had no idea where he was.

However, after some exploration, he found that he was still in the city, but with the help of a tunnel, he was in another corner in the blink of an eye.

Cao Geng had to admit that this method was the safest.

If those invaders from other worlds had discovered this passage and tried to track them, they would have disappeared without a trace long ago.

The entrance to the passage underground is so hidden that it is extremely difficult for outsiders to detect.

It is precisely with this secret that they have been able to hold on in the fight against foreign races until now.

Cao Geng spent the night here, feeling uneasy and unable to sleep because of Zheng Yi's disappearance.

How is he now? How can I find him?

As his thoughts raced, Cao Geng gradually fell into a dream.

The next morning, Cao Geng found Luo Guang and asked, "Brother Luo Guang, you are familiar with this land, can you do me a favor?"

Luo Guang's eyes flickered as he responded, "Brother Cao Geng, go ahead and speak."

He owed Cao Geng for saving his life, so he would be willing to do him twenty times, let alone two!

Cao Geng continued: "First, of course, help me find my brothers. I know this is difficult. But the second thing, I believe you can do it."

Luo Guang nodded and said, "The first thing is indeed not easy. After all, we don't know Comrade Zheng Xiao. Let's talk about the second thing."

Cao Geng said: "Second, I want to know when Shinozuka Yoshio left and where he left from. Give me the exact information."

Luo Guang was surprised and asked, "Brother Cao Geng, are you going to deal with him?"

Cao Geng nodded and said, "It has to be this way. This little foreigner dared to break into our country and provoke us. If we don't get rid of him, won't he get away with it?"

Just because of this?

Luo Guang was speechless for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "Okay, this should be no problem. I will immediately mobilize all resources to help you find out."

Cao Geng said: "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Luo Guang."

"Hey, come on, you saved my life and the lives of my brothers, why should you be polite? Hahaha..."

After making arrangements with Luo Guang, Cao Geng changed into a neat uniform of a lieutenant from another world and went out.

He must find Zheng Xiao.

Cao Geng memorized the route as he walked, and after a long time, he finally found the inn where he and Zheng Xiao had lived.

He firmly believed that if Zheng Yi were still alive, he would definitely come here to find him.

However, he soon discovered that the hostel was being monitored by aliens.

It seems that there is no hope of finding Zheng Xiao here...

In front, a circle of people gathered, seemingly watching something strange.

Cao Geng, with curiosity, walked briskly into the crowd.

Damn, it was a notice offering a reward for his capture, with his portrait prominently depicted on it.

Well, thankfully the artist was poorly done and the fierce man in the portrait bore no resemblance to him.

Is this the level? Is this also considered a wanted order?

Cao Geng couldn't help but smile, shook his head slightly, and left the crowd. He still had to continue looking for his missing friend.

Cao Geng was at a loss for ideas and could only wander on the streets paved with magic slabs, hoping to meet his target unexpectedly.

This was the most primitive and only option. Walking down the street at least made him familiar with the city of Taiyuan, which was guarded by elemental elves.

Cao Geng had an excellent memory, and every winding alley left a mark in his mind.

However, Taiyuan City was like a maze. Cao Geng wandered around it for a whole day, but still could not find any trace of Zheng Xiao until dusk fell.

As night fell, the demons in the darkness began to take control. Cao Geng had no choice but to return to Luo Guang and his friends' temporary shelter.

When asking Luo Guang, there was still no news of either Zheng Xiao or the demon Yoshio Shinozuka.

Cao Geng sighed and went back to bed again.

Damn it, has that bastard Zheng Xiao been captured by the evil spirit or imprisoned? He can't be so vulnerable, right?

Forget it. It looks like I can’t wander around aimlessly tomorrow, nor can I rely entirely on Luo Guang and the others. I must take the initiative.

The next morning, the sun had already climbed to the horizon before Cao Geng got up from bed.

Donning the disguised uniform of a demon officer, he set off again.

He walked into a magic bakery along the street, ordered some hot bread, and sat in a corner to enjoy it.

But his eyes scanned around, looking for suitable prey.

After Cao Geng finished his meal, he slapped a magic gold coin on the table and quietly followed the two patrolling little demons out the door.

Because these two little devils walked into a dark alley, they became his ideal targets.

Cao Geng followed the two men deep into the alley. After about ten steps, the little devils were unaware of their following.

"Hello……"

Cao Geng shouted.

The little devils turned around and saw that it was an officer. They immediately stepped forward respectfully and asked respectfully: "Dear officer, what can I do for you?"

Cao Geng replied in demon language: "I have a question. Did you successfully capture the mysterious warrior you hunted down the other day?"

Hearing this, the two little demons looked tense and looked at Cao Geng warily and asked, "Which master's subordinate are you?"

Cao Geng's eyes sternly said, "This is not a secret, why are you so nervous? Tell me, have you caught the person?"

The eyes of the little demons gradually showed hostility. If they were not afraid of Cao Geng's high military rank, they would have resorted to violence long ago.

Cao Geng moved as fast as lightning, instantly hitting the acupuncture points of the two people. The little demons immediately collapsed like mud and leaned against the wall.

Cao Geng picked up their magic wands and threw them aside, leaned over and asked, "Can you tell me now?"

The two little demons wanted to shout for help, but they couldn't muster any strength. They were unwilling to surrender to the person in front of them,...

Carol pulled out a fine steel sword from between their breastplates, put the tip of the sword lightly against the throat of an orc soldier, and whispered: "There are countless warriors like you in this town. If you refuse to speak up, you will have no chance of survival."

As Carol spoke, the sword in his hand moved slowly like a deft carving tool.

The orc next to him stared with wide eyes, watching the long sword cut his companion's throat, and bright red demon blood gushed out.

The blade went deeper and deeper, piercing into the bone marrow...

The wounded orc just dared to stare at Carol in horror from beginning to end, without even the strength to resist.

Another orc witnessed the death of his companion, his eyes filled with fear.

"It's a shame. I don't want this to happen, but if you don't tell me, what can I do? Now it's your turn."

Before Carol finished speaking, the blood-stained sword had moved to the orc's neck.

The orc was finally scared. Sweat dripped down his forehead on that cold winter day. He hurriedly and weakly replied, "I don't know the details, but I heard that they failed to catch their target."

A cold light flashed in Carol's eyes, and he asked, "Are you sure?"

The orc quickly responded: "Yes, absolutely sure."

Carol said: "It seems that you are not going to confess, so you can only meet your friends in the underworld."

He slowly reached out and grabbed the orc's throat with his left hand.

The orc immediately lost control of his bladder and begged in panic, "I'm telling the truth..."

But before he could finish his words, Carol had already broken his neck.

At this time, two more orc patrolmen stepped into the alley.

Seeing the scene before them, they were stunned for a moment.

"Damn heresy..."

The two orcs roared and immediately pulled the trigger to prepare for shooting.

Carol swung his sword, then pulled a pair of magic daggers from his boot and threw them at them.

The two orcs were stabbed in the neck at the same time, and the muskets in their hands fell to the ground helplessly. They fell to the ground unwillingly.

Carol searched the two orcs and found a dozen silver coins and several Japanese yen banknotes.

Damn, two poor guys.

He walked over and searched the two orcs for the same valuables and put them in his pocket.

Then he pulled out the dagger, wiped off the devil blood on it, and put it back into the boot.

Then he left without looking back.

Walking out of the alley, Carol began to look for new targets on the streets.

There was no way he could fully believe the information from an orc.

Unfortunately, as soon as he turned a corner, he saw two orcs acting alone! The street instantly became chaotic.

An orc blew a whistle, and the two orcs that Carol was targeting heard it and immediately ran towards the source of the sound.

Carol was speechless.

That was where he had just killed the orc. Apparently, the orcs had found the body.

It seems that it will be difficult to find orcs acting alone again.

Suddenly, Carol noticed a shop, an exotic sushi restaurant.

Great, this should be an ideal place to get information!

Carol stepped into the store without hesitation.

As he stepped into this mysterious portal, two women in long feather robes came in lightly. Their voices were as sweet as velvet, helping Cao Geng to relieve his fatigue from the journey.

“Welcome to…”

Two girls from a distant country asked Cao Geng about his needs and helped him take off his boots.

Well, as a traveler in a foreign land, Cao Geng couldn't help but sigh that life here was like a dream.

"Major, would you like to have a private room or a spacious hall?"

Cao Geng answered in fluent foreign language: "The hall is enough for me alone."

In a flash, he was in the magnificent hall.

A young girl arranged for him to sit on the tatami, kneeling according to local etiquette.

She handed over an exquisite menu and asked respectfully, "Major, what delicacies would you like to taste?"

Yes, everything here looks noble and elegant.

It is undeniable that these foreigners enjoy a life almost like gods here.

Cao Geng spread a few local currencies on the wooden table and said, "No need to look at the menu. What are the most famous delicacies in your restaurant? Please pick two at random!"

He had no particular liking for such food, but the purpose of this trip was not to satisfy his appetite.

"Major, please wait a moment."

A young girl said this and left lightly.

Another girl asked, "Major, do you need someone to accompany you for dinner?"

Although their voices were pleasant, the heavy makeup on their faces made Cao Geng feel a little intimidated, just like the white-faced clowns in ancient times, which were enough to scare people in the dim night.

Cao Geng replied: "No, I just came here to taste the food."

Upon hearing this, the girl also retreated slowly.

Soon, two plates of strange dishes that looked like dirt were served on the table. Although they looked bad, Cao Geng was still able to enjoy them calmly.

As he ate, he kept an eye on the movement at the entrance.

Wave after wave of foreign nobles and ronin shuttled in and out, but the target still did not appear.

Cao Geng was not panicked and quietly tasted the food in front of him.

Finally, his eyes lit up.

A major general and a colonel walked into the hall, followed by several guards.

The four maids immediately smiled and warmly welcomed the two regular guests.

They addressed each other by first name and clearly knew their preferences well.

Cao Geng smiled, waiting for this moment.
