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

Upon hearing Yoshio Iwamatsu's decision, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately objected.

He quickly stopped Iwamatsu Yoshio and asked, "General Iwamatsu, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid of him? If you do this, how will our imperial dignity survive?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio shook his head and denied, "No, I'm not afraid. Not only me, but you, General Shinozuka, should also leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

Shinozuka Yoshio was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio explained: "Cao Geng clearly stated in the scroll that he is here to find you. He will only leave if you leave. This guy is a madman, creating chaos in our land day after day. Only by finding a way to make him leave can Taiyuan City return to peace."

What Iwamatsu Yoshio said is true.

As long as Shinozuka Yoshio does not leave, Cao Geng will not leave; as long as Cao Geng does not leave, Taiyuan City will not have peace.

Taiyuan City is not at peace, and as the commander, he will have trouble sleeping and eating.

He had just taken over this position, how could he withstand such provocation from Cao Geng?

If this continues, his position will be in jeopardy.

"Bagaya Road..."

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard these words, his anger instantly burned like a raging flame!

"Damn it, aren't you afraid of him?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio was equally furious: "Damn it, this is the mess left by your predecessor. Look at what you have done to Taiyal City. Now I am here to help you clean up the mess, and you are still complaining that my approach is wrong?"

"Reflect on yourself and take a good look at what you have done during this period of time. What achievements have you made? How many legions and brigades have fallen into your hands? Now, I am the commander here, and I will bear all the consequences."

"I now realize that keeping you was a huge mistake. If I had let you leave earlier, none of this would have happened."

"You...are such a bastard..."

Yoshio Shinozuka was shaking with anger, pointing his finger at Yoshio Iwamatsu, but he had no words to say.

Because he had to admit that everything Iwamatsu Yoshio said was true. Iwamatsu Yoshio did not directly scold him as a waste, which was the greatest tolerance for him.

At this moment, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly looked depressed, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

That's right!

What had he accomplished in his tenure at Taiar? He was a complete failure.

"Okay, I'm leaving. The handover is complete. I'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Do not."

Iwamatsu Yoshio retorted angrily: "You'd better leave today, and the sooner the better."

"Okay, I'll leave today, right away, okay?"

Yoshio Shinozuka said this angrily, then turned around and packed his bag.

Yoshio Iwamatsu stood there, staring at Yoshio Shinozuka's back.

Suddenly, he signaled to a ghost colonel beside him.

The colonel stepped forward in a hurry: "General, what do you want?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio whispered, "Go, monitor when he sets out and spread the news."

"what?"

The colonel was shocked. What was General Yansong going to do? Was he going to kill General Shinozuka Yoshio?

Once the news spreads, if Cao Geng finds out, he might attack General Shinozuka Yoshio on the way.

hiss……

If such a thing really happened, and then the matter was investigated, he, as a colonel, would not be able to bear it!

The colonel asked: "General, isn't this inappropriate?"

Iwamatsu Yoshio glared at him and said, "What are you thinking about? The news of Shinozuka Yoshio's departure must be spread as soon as possible. Only in this way will Cao Geng leave. Do you understand?"

"As for whether he will assassinate Shinozuka Yoshio on the way, that is none of our business. If he can't stop an enemy with so many guards around him, we can only say that it is doomed. Move covertly and don't let anyone know that the news came from us. Do you understand?"

"Hi……"

When the colonel heard this, he quickly responded and left.

"Damn guy..."

Iwamatsu Yoshio cursed with gritted teeth.

That's right, he really hated Yoshio Shinozuka for leaving him in such a difficult situation and making himself suffer.

Not to mention, he even sincerely hoped that Cao Geng could get rid of him on the way.

At this moment, in the same room as Luo Guang, Cao Geng was also with him...

Luo Guang's heart was filled with amazement!

"Brother Cao Geng, I, Luo Guang, have to admit defeat. It is unbelievable that you have made those sons of the devil retreat with just a public magic letter."

This made Luo Guang sigh. If someone else sent such a magic letter, the devil would just ignore it and not even bother to glance at it.

However, Cao Geng directly used a magic letter to threaten the devil to withdraw, and the devil actually did it. This was too shocking.

Cao Geng seemed a little embarrassed by Luo Guang's words.

Just then, a messenger came with a letter and handed it to Luo Guang.

Luo Guang took it and looked at it, then smiled bitterly: "Brother Cao Geng, this letter is for you, take a look at it yourself."

"Oh? Was it sent by the devil?"

Cao Geng took it and looked at it, his face suddenly darkened.

How could this be a letter from the devil? It was clearly from the brigade commander, giving him three days to return.

Otherwise, he will face a month of solitary confinement.

At the end of the letter, Luo Guang was ordered to try to ensure his safe return.

How could he ask Luo Guang to send him back? It was obvious that he wanted Luo Guang to try to persuade him to go back.

In short, the meaning is very clear, no matter what means Luo Guang uses, he must be allowed to go back.

Cao Geng silently placed the letter on the table.

Luo Guang smiled and said, "How about going back?"

Cao Geng replied: "No, I can't leave until Shinozuka Yoshio is eliminated. Besides, Zheng Xiao hasn't been found yet, how can I go back?"

Luo Guang suggested: "How about this, you go back first, and we slowly look for Comrade Zheng Xiao, and then send him back after we find him?"

Cao Geng responded: "Don't fool me. You don't even know what he looks like, how can you find him?"

Luo Guang said helplessly: "What about the brigade commander's order? You can't ask me to disobey the order, right?"

"hiss……"

Cao Geng had a headache.

That’s right, Cao Geng was not afraid of punishment, and everything he did was even to welcome sanctions from the higher-ups.

But Luo Guang is different. He cannot come here to hurt innocent people.

At this time, an intelligence officer came in hurriedly and whispered in Luo Guang's ear: "I found out that Shinozuka Yoshio will leave Taiyana this afternoon."

Cao Geng's eyes lit up. His hearing was so sharp that he could hear clearly even the intelligence officer's voice was soft.

He quickly asked, "Do you know how many people he brought with him?"

The intelligence officer replied: "It has been found that he only has a guard and a small infantry squad with him, and the total number will not exceed three hundred people."

"Yoshi...Okay..."

Cao Geng said happily: "Brother Luo Guang, let's do this! After dealing with Shinozuka Yoshio, I will go back by myself. You spread the news and say that Cao Geng has gone back. Zheng Xiao will definitely return to the team on his own when he hears the news."

Well, with Zheng Xiao’s ability, he was able to survive the demon melee in the past few days, so Cao Geng didn’t need to worry too much about him.

But Luo Guang disagreed. He said worriedly, "Brother Cao Geng, three hundred people! Isn't this too dangerous?"

Yes, I lead a team of elite guards and a team of phantom infantry. These warriors are all from other worlds with extraordinary abilities, specially sent to protect Elios Shinozuka. How do you face such a challenge alone?

Chloist said softly, "It is indeed difficult, but it is not impossible to win."

Roger asked: "How do you plan to act?"

Chloist replied: "It depends on the situation at that time."

Roger asked: "What if it doesn't work?"

Cloyster said calmly: "If I can't succeed, I will return safely. Is that okay?"

Rogge nodded: "Do you want me to send reinforcements to assist you? That might increase the success rate."

But Chloëst said, "No need, I can handle it on my own."

Night Raven Secret Investigation Division, in the office of Lieutenant Colonel Sisne Terauchi.

Sisne Terauchi sat in his seat, listening quietly to Skada Sakata's narration.

Skada Sakata recounted recent adventures, especially the melee that occurred in the Outlands of Terraya a few days ago.

After listening to this, although Sith was filled with anger, he still affirmed Skada Sakata's strength and strategy.

After all, Cisner Terauchi and the Army Department each had their own responsibilities.

Their goal was only to complete the mission, and as for the casualties of the Army Department, that was their own business.

Cisne Terauchi nodded and said, "Very good. From today on, you are no longer a member of the Army Department. Your file has been transferred to our Night Crow Secret Investigation Department. Now, you are a dream lieutenant in our department. You should know how difficult it is to become a lieutenant here. I am making an exception to promote you, and I hope you can cherish it."

"Yes."

Skada Sakata immediately stood at attention and responded!

He was extremely happy in his heart. He jumped from a second lieutenant in the Dream Realm to a lieutenant, and a lieutenant in the Night Crow Secret Investigation Department. This was by no means a simple promotion.

If a lieutenant of the Night Raven Secret Investigation Department were placed in the Army Department, he could directly serve as a battalion commander. This is an ideal candidate for a high-ranking appointment at a low-ranking military rank.

Cisne Terauchi said, "Based on what you know about Chloester, do you think he will try to assassinate the general when General Ellios Shinozuka leaves for the journey?"

Skada Sakata stood at attention and replied, "From what I understand about him, unless he has not received the intelligence, once he knows it, he will definitely take action."

"very good……"

Cisne Terauchi said, "Let's do this! If you are not absolutely sure about Cloyster, try to avoid conflict with him. Once you make a move, you must kill him with one strike. So in uncertain situations, you must never reveal your identity. It is best to create an opportunity for our members to deal with him."

"Yes."

Skada Sakata stood at attention and responded.

Cisne Terauchi said, "However, I now have an extremely important task for you, which is to ensure the safe departure of General Elios Shinozuka. Of course, I don't want you to be his personal guard, but you need to appear during Chloester's assassination and disrupt his plan, but remember not to expose yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

"clear."

Skada Sakata answered standing at attention.

Cisne Terauchi said: "This task is extremely difficult, can it be done?"

Skada Sakata said firmly: "Yes."

"Very good, go ahead! As long as you can complete this mission and assassinate the demon Cao Geng, your name will surely resound throughout the heavens, and it will not be difficult to be promoted to a star official."

Sakata's face was filled with joy, and he immediately stood up and responded: "Yes, sir. I will complete the mission to the death."

Terauchi Hisashi gently waved his hand.

Sakata turned and left, leaving behind a mysterious figure.

Yoshio Shinozuka sat quietly in his magic laboratory, his eyes filled with deep attachment to everything that was about to pass away.

His guardians silently sorted the instruments and scrolls around him.

Although he was extremely reluctant, he knew that he had no reason to stay any longer.

The source of all this can be attributed to Cao Geng, and his hatred for Cao Geng is as hot as fire.

However, at this moment, he was powerless to save himself, and he had become a burden to the Celestial Empire. If he continued to stay, it would only bring greater losses to the empire.

"General, the luggage is ready, we can set off."

The captain of the guard walked up to him and spoke respectfully.

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, stood up, and silently bid farewell to the magical world he had worked in for many years.

When he reached the door, he glanced back reluctantly.

Finally, he turned and strode towards the Eagle Chariot waiting for him.

The captain of the guard quickly stopped him and pointed to another transport beast: "Sir, please take this transport beast."

"What?"

Yoshio Shinozuka widened his eyes and asked in confusion.

The captain of the guard explained awkwardly: "For your safety, please bear with us and follow our arrangements."

That's right, they have been protecting Yoshio Shinozuka for many years, and bodyguard work has long become their instinct.

Yoshio Shinozuka understood instantly.

He was furious: "Damn it, you are also afraid of Cao Geng?"

The captain lowered his eyes and replied, "Sir, our first priority is to ensure your safety. We will act in whatever way we think is safer. This has nothing to do with fear."

"hateful……"

Yoshio Shinozuka cursed angrily, but finally followed the captain's advice and stepped into the transport beast.

He got on the transport beast and sat in the passenger seat.

The captain of the guard followed closely behind him and reminded: "For the general's safety, I kindly ask you to move to the rear."

"What?"

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "I can't even sit in the transport beast, and I have to sit in the back?"

The transport beasts of this era only have a small space behind the cockpit, which is not comfortable to sit in.

But if you lie flat, it's quite comfortable.

The captain of the guard said, "Sir, you only need to rest here for a while. Once we leave the city of Taiano, you can choose any place you want."

"hateful……"

Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't stand it anymore and slapped the captain of the guard hard.

"Damn it... Are you protecting me? This is clearly humiliating me."
