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

The administrator rushed to the second floor, only to see the six elf guards still lying quietly, their postures unchanged.

He squatted down anxiously and asked a guard: "Tarno, how do you feel? Do you need the help of a healer?"

The guard looked anxious and weakly responded, "Devil's Words, check if the general is okay."

That's right, they fought fiercely upstairs for a long time, and the general was in the secret room, so it was impossible for him to be unscathed.

Upon hearing this, the administrator felt that something was unusual and immediately ran to the door and knocked hard.

"General, are you in there? General..."

After calling several times, there was no response from inside the house. The administrator no longer hesitated and pushed the door open.

What I saw was General Oda lying on the ground, breathing weakly.

"what?"

The administrator turned pale instantly, put aside his fear, and reached out to feel the general's breath.

"Devil... why is this happening?"

The administrator screamed in horror.

"Someone is coming! The general has been attacked. This is terrible. General Oda has been attacked..."

Screams echoed throughout the building, and the guards on the ground had looks of despair on their faces.

It's over, it's over.

I knew that devil was not a good person.

But it was too late to regret now.

The owner of the sushi restaurant rushed in with a group of people, and immediately collapsed on the ground after entering the room.

It's over, it's over.

A major general and a colonel died in his shop. Whether the shop can be preserved, and even his own life, will depend on the will of fate.

Cao Geng shuttled through the maze-like alleys, quickly avoiding the hustle and bustle.

Just then, he heard the sound of foreign soldiers' trumpets in the distance.

The soldiers quickly gathered, cordoned off the area, and began searching for the assassin.

However, Cao Geng had gone far away, and they could only look at the empty streets with melancholy.

The news quickly reached Iwamatsu Yoshio's ears.

Yoshio Iwamatsu could not sit idly by and rushed to Yoshio Shinozuka's magic laboratory.

Because Cao Geng created chaos in Taiyuan, Iwamatsu Yoshio asked Shinozuka Yoshio to stay temporarily and overcome the difficulties together.

The reason why Iwamatsu Yoshio is so important is not because of his political talent, but because he is the guardian spirit of this land and knows every secret of this place.

Without his protection, Yoshio Iwamatsu was at a loss as to how to move forward in this intricate fantasy realm.

As soon as he stepped into Shinozuka Yoshio's magic tower room, Iwamatsu Yoshio immediately roared: "Damn lich, General, another demon general and ghost colonel have fallen. How many dangers are hidden in Taiyuan City?"

Shinozuka Yoshio was so shocked that he stood up from the suspended crystal throne: "What? What are the details? Where did they meet with misfortune?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu told the wizard in detail about the strange events he knew about.

"boom--"

Shinozuka Yoshio angrily slammed the magic crystal table: "Damn Cao Geng, you are too arrogant! Someone come..."

He shouted loudly towards the door, and instantly a guard mage walked in quickly.

"Respected General, what can I do for you?" asked the guard.

"Capture Cao Geng, he has not yet escaped from Taiyuan City. Convey my order and have all the wizards search every house and make sure to find this wizard. I want him to be cut into pieces and reduced to ashes..."

"As ordered."

The guards responded and immediately carried out the order. Although Shinozuka Yoshio's rule was coming to an end, his power was still not to be underestimated, and the 108th Phantom Division was still in his hands.

For him, capturing Cao Geng was just a piece of cake.

Soon, the ghostly wizards began searching house by house in the outer city.

Cao Geng was in a good mood, at least he was sure that Zheng Xiao was safe and sound. Although he didn't know how to find him, as long as he hadn't been arrested, there would always be a day for them to meet again.

Helpless, he could only take the most clumsy way, wandering aimlessly on the streets, leaving everything to fate.

As they were walking, a dozen mages rushed out from behind and roared at the residents on the street.

"Damn you, do you have proof of residence?"

People on the street, those who could escape ran away, and those who could not escape showed their residence certificates for inspection.

A dozen mages surrounded the group, checking their residence certificates one by one.

The ghost captain in the lead noticed a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes who looked like a wealthy businessman, so he ordered in a voice mixed with magical language: "This guy's residence certificate may be fraudulent, arrest him."

"what?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and quickly pleaded: "Sir, I am really a good citizen! My residence certificate is absolutely true, and I just received it from the Magic Guard last month! Sir, my home is not far away, and I am a legal resident of the local area! Sir, let me go!"

Captain Ghost replied: "Very good, we will not wrongly accuse the innocent. If you are a local, we will notify your family to redeem you. Don't worry!"

The middle-aged man understood immediately and quickly took out all the gold coins he had and put them in the captain's hand: "Sir, I am really a good citizen!"

"Well, of course, citizen, you are innocent. Please!"

The Japanese guard captain was not acting out of mercy, but he had no time to delay as there were more subjects waiting to be examined.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately fled in panic like a frightened bird.

The guards continued to check citizens' identification. The rich could escape by paying their belongings, while the poor were detained and had to be redeemed by their families.

The so-called citizenship certificate is meaningless at this moment.

In the end, only the captain and two soldiers were left among the dozen or so Japanese guards, and the rest all escorted the prisoners back.

The remaining captain and two soldiers began to bang on the door violently.

"Open the door! Open the door! Capture the sorcerer! If you don't open it, I will treat you as a sorcerer..."

The door opened quickly.

An old man walked out and immediately bowed respectfully.

However, the Japanese guards did not appreciate it and broke in, searching through all the drawers and cabinets.

Perhaps because they considered this their territory, they did not destroy items wantonly.

Nor do they want to host large numbers of displaced people on their own territory.

After a while, a young woman with outstanding appearance was dragged out crying.

The three soldiers insisted that she was an accomplice of the sorcerer and wanted to take her back for interrogation.

The old man stepped forward to plead for mercy, but was thrown to the ground and was unable to get up.

A young man in his early twenties rushed out of the house, and the short soldier pounced on him and stabbed him to death with a dagger in an instant.

The beautiful woman was suddenly heartbroken and cried heartbreakingly.

The old man couldn't bear it anymore and struggled to get up, ready to fight them to the death.

As a result, he was hit to death on the spot by Japanese soldiers with two gun butts.

Cao Geng watched all this quietly, but he did not step forward to rescue.

He knew very well that such tragedies were everywhere in Taiyuan City and he could not save everyone.

Unfortunately, this is the tragedy of the times.

Cao Geng was filled with rage and extremely angry.

He quickened his pace and returned quickly to where Luo Guang and others lived.

Cao Geng returned here and found Luo Guang was also there.

He looked at Luo Guang and said anxiously: "Brother Luo Guang, where is your magic device? Lend it to me."

That’s right, who can live without a magic device? It’s a must-have for intelligence agents.

So Cao Geng knew that they must have it.

Luo Guang's eyes widened as he asked, "Brother Cao Geng, what do you want to do?"

Cao Geng replied: "Send an encrypted magical message to Yansong Yixiong to see if he can stop the atrocities of these alien races. The people outside are suffering too much."

Luo Guang asked: "Yes, these aliens are too cruel. They will treat even the slightest movement like this, even if it is to hunt down a small magic thief. The people are really too pitiful. I wonder what happened to the aliens this time? I haven't found out the reason yet."

Cao Geng said: "You don't need to check. I just went out and accidentally killed one of their major generals and colonels."

"Ah? Accidentally eliminated another major general and colonel? No..."

Luo Guang really didn't know what to say.

Cao Geng had only been in Taiyuan for a few days when two generals of Taiyuan had already died...

Cao Geng whispered, "In normal times, the evil spirits are out of control and I am powerless to interfere, but this time it was caused by me, so I must try to stop them."

Luo Guang nodded slightly and responded: "Okay, follow me."

Luo Guang led Cao Geng through a secret tunnel again, which was completely different from the last time.

Cao Geng was speechless and could only follow behind.

As he walked, Cao Geng smelled a pungent stench and saw traces of dirty water seeping out from the walls of the tunnel.

Cao Geng asked, "Brother Luo Guang, why does it smell so bad?"

Luo Guang replied, "We are almost there. Follow me and climb up. There is a filthy pit next to it."

Cao Geng was speechless. These people really did everything they could to escape the pursuit of evil spirits.

The exit of the tunnel leads directly to the edge of a filthy pit.

Cao Geng suppressed his nausea and followed Luo Guang out of the tunnel, finally seeing the light of day.

In front of me is an abandoned house with broken walls and ruins. Normally, even ghosts are unwilling to set foot here, and there are no traces of human beings around.

Luo Guang led Cao Geng through a winding path and finally entered a dilapidated old house.

Inside the room, Cao Geng saw two people guarding a mysterious transmitter.

Cao Geng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Luo Guang, you guys hid really well!"

Hiding here, even if there is any movement from the outside world, they can instantly escape into the tunnel.

Luo Guang approached the two men and said, "Brothers, Brother Cao Geng wants to send a coded letter. Please help me."

That’s right, Luo Guang never introduced these colleagues to Cao Geng.

For many days, Luo Guang did not mention anyone else to Cao Geng except the comrades he rescued.

The fewer people know about these people, the better.

After hearing what Luo Guang said, the two colleagues nodded.

Cao Geng replied: "No need, I can do it myself."

Cao Geng ignored them, took the transmitter and started operating it.

After a while, a coded letter was sent.

The content is as follows: Honorable evil spirit general Iwamatsu Yoshio, I have no grudge against you. I am not targeting you, but Shinozuka Yoshio. I just killed someone by mistake due to a misoperation.

If you don't want to be included in my kill list like Yoshio Shinozuka, and live in fear every day, please evacuate the evil spirits in Taiyuan City immediately and stop killing innocent people.

Otherwise, I will put you on the list of must-kills and take your head within three days. I, Cao Geng, have never failed to keep my promise. Please make your own choice!

As a general of a great empire, what is the point of taking out your anger on the people when you are frustrated? If all the generals of your great empire are like this, the end is not far away. I despise you. Signed: Cao Geng.

Da Caozhuang.

Brigade Commander Chen held the secret letter in his hand and was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"This kid really ran off to Taiyuan. Just wait and see. If I don't teach him a lesson this time, I, I, I will change my last name to his."...

The Chief of Staff and the Political Commissar were silent, like stone statues in the mist, quietly guarding the unknown magical world.

"You always curse the most. What else can you do besides yelling?"

After the brigade commander finished his reprimand, he glanced at the chief of staff and the political commissar, whose figures appeared even more blurred under the dim light of the magic circle.

"Tell me, what should we do? This is Taiyuan, not one of those forgotten little villages. Give me some ideas and get that guy back."

The chief of staff suggested: "Isn't he still in Taiyuan? As long as we contact Luo Guang through the transmission rune, we will definitely be able to find his whereabouts."

The brigade commander retorted: "So what if we find him? This guy never finishes what he starts. It's wishful thinking to expect him to come back voluntarily."

The political commissar shook his head: "Don't come to me about this. This kid is very strange. I'm afraid he is protected by a mysterious power."

The Chief of Staff sighed, "There is nothing I can do. Unless you, the brigade commander, are in danger, it will be harder than climbing to heaven to get him to turn back."

The brigade commander said helplessly: "Don't try that on me!"

The three of them fell into deep thought. After all, letting Cao Geng stay in Taiyuan kept them awake at night.

And in Taiyuan City, inside the Japanese headquarters.

Iwamatsu Yoshio quickly interpreted the message on the teleportation scroll sent by Cao Geng. After reading it, he did not get angry, but fell into deep thought.

On the side, Yoshio Shinozuka became furious after reading it and clenched his teeth.

Cao Geng is really pushing his luck and is too arrogant.

Shinozuka Yoshio glared at Iwamatsu Yoshio and asked, "What do you mean? Are you afraid of him?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio shook his head slightly and continued to meditate.

Cao Geng has stated in the scroll that he has a deep hatred for Shinozuka Yoshio and that he is here to deal with Shinozuka Yoshio.

In other words, as long as Yoshio Shinozuka was not in Taiyuan, Cao Geng had no reason to stay.

At this moment, Iwamatsu Yoshio woke up from his dream.

So that's how it is! He has been playing the role of an innocent target. Cao Geng didn't even consider him as a target. Why should he get involved?

Iwamatsu Yoshio shouted outside, "Come here! Convey my order. All soldiers evacuate immediately and do not disturb the people."
