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

As soon as the soldiers opened the door of the carriage, a pungent smell immediately hit them.

The thirteen ghost soldiers in the carriage had been tortured beyond recognition...

In a mysterious carriage, filled with a strange dark atmosphere, thirteen alien creatures were limp inside, intertwined with the filth of chaos, their heads and faces were infected by fel energy, and they looked like they were dying.

When the soldiers saw this scene, they exclaimed in shock, knowing that it was an extremely tragic scene.

Cao Geng shouted, "What are you still looking at? Capture them quickly, or else when they regain their strength, they will surely cause harm to the world."

The warriors suppressed their nausea and pulled out the creatures one by one, disarmed them of their magic weapons, and then tied them up. Only then did they realize that three people had already died and their bodies were as stiff as stone.

The remaining few people are also on the verge of death. Without miraculous treatment, they may not be able to escape. However, in this mysterious land, the power of the Eighth Route Army is limited, and life and death are determined by their will.

At this time, the brigade commander, along with the chief of staff and the political commissar, rushed over. Seeing this, they immediately shouted, "Quick, send them to the wizard academy for treatment immediately!"

"what?"

Cao Geng was immediately displeased when he heard this: "Commander, why is this happening? If I had known this, I would not have arrested them."

"You naughty boy."

The brigade commander pointed at Cao Geng and said sternly, "Follow me."

Cao Geng followed the order and headed to the headquarters with the three officers. When they arrived at the headquarters, the brigade commander sat down and asked, "Why did you go to Taiyuan?"

Cao Geng replied: "To kill the devil Shinozuka Yoshio!"

The brigade commander asked, "Then why did you return in such a mess?"

Cao Geng was speechless for a moment, feeling that there was something else behind the words.

"Hey! Commander, what do you mean? When did I return in such a mess? Did you use the wrong words?"

The brigade commander exchanged glances with the chief of staff and then asked, "So, did you really kill Shinozuka Yoshio?"

Cao Geng responded: "Of course! Zheng Xiao carried it out personally. Three dark rays of light struck his head. I saw it with my own eyes."

The brigade commander was furious when he heard this: "Nonsense, you want to fake your military achievements? Let me tell you, intelligence shows that Shinozuka Yoshio has arrived in Nigeria."

Cao Geng was dumbfounded: "No, how is this possible? I saw it with my own eyes, his head was shattered, he was clearly a demon lieutenant general."

The brigade commander snorted, "Lieutenant General? Are you sure that was Shinozuka Yoshio?"

Cao Geng was speechless for a moment.

"Damn it, no, this guy dared to fool me. I'm going to Nilgia to put an end to him."

The brigade commander said impatiently, "Don't dream. He will return to the demon world by boat in two days. Can you catch up now?"

"This, this demon, who has been harming our Eighth Route Army for so many years, is he allowed to escape just like that?"

Cao Geng complained indignantly.

"Then what else do you want?"

The brigade commander said coldly: "Come, now let's talk about the treatment of your superiors."

"it is good."

When Cao Geng heard that it was a punishment, he was secretly delighted.

The three officers looked at each other in silence.

The brigade commander said dissatisfiedly: "In view of Comrade Cao Geng's disregard for discipline this time, now... forget it, you can see for yourself!"

The brigade commander couldn't read on any further.

"hey-hey……"

Cao Geng picked up the parchment with a smile on his face, but the smile froze on his face in an instant.

"No way, aren't people punished for making mistakes? How can they get promoted?"

The letter stated that Cao Geng was promoted to captain of the Ninth Squadron of the Ghost Legion, and the three thousand soldiers under his command were reorganized into the Ninth Squadron.

Cao Geng was stunned.

The brigade commander suppressed his laughter and said, "That's right! Others were demoted when they made mistakes, but you were promoted when you made mistakes. Next time you make the same mistake, you can be promoted to corps commander. If you make the same mistake again, you will be my level."

"Uh……"

"No, Brigade Commander, this is not the right way to do things, is it? How can we convince everyone like this? What do you think?"

The brigade commander responded: "Then go out and ask, if anyone objects to you becoming the squadron leader?"

this problem……

Cao Geng was speechless for a moment.

The brigade commander continued, "Not only you, Duan Peng will also be promoted to deputy squadron leader, and your 3,000 soldiers will be reorganized into ten reinforced squadrons. The army is still too large. If you don't want to be the squadron leader, that's fine, I will organize these soldiers into a corps and let others lead them."

"Ah! That won't work. Even if I want to, the soldiers won't agree! Okay, can I be the squadron leader?"

Cao Geng answered helplessly.

He had no choice. If he did not accept it, these people might be recruited by others.

How could this be possible? He had bought all those weapons with his own money.

Hearing Cao Geng's agreement, the three rifle captains finally smiled.

The brigade commander walked up to him, supported him and said, "Come and sit here, little brat."

The brigade commander seated Cao Geng.

Then he returned to his seat and continued, "Stinky boy, let me ask you, can you still get the magic gun M1 Garand?"

Cao Geng blinked his eyes and said, "I thought it was some big deal! Why are you so nervous? If you have money, you can buy it."

The brigade commander said, "Then help me get a batch."

Cao Geng asked back: "Do you have enough gold coins?"

The brigade commander asked, “How much does it cost?”

Cao Geng replied: "About 150 gold coins each, how many do you want?"

"Uh……"

The brigade commander was speechless. A magic gun was worth hundreds of gold coins. How could he afford it?

The brigade commander was puzzled: "Why is it so expensive?"

"Nonsense, the factory price is eighty gold coins, isn't the shipping fee included for shipping here?"

The brigade commander did some calculations and said, "But it's not that outrageous!"

That’s right, at 120 gold coins per stick, the profit is 35 gold coins, which is a huge profit.

Cao Geng said: "It depends on you, the brigade commander, to find a way. Hey! Brigade commander, do you have enough gold coins?"

The brigade commander said, "This is all thanks to you, kid. You helped me save some gold coins in the past two years, and you left me some of it. But it's so expensive, I can't buy more than a few!"

Cao Geng's eyes lit up and he said, "Brigade Commander, please wait a moment."

Then he shouted outside: "Zheng Xiao, go to the car and get that handbag for me."

Zheng Xiao quickly handed him the handbag.

Cao Geng took it and put it on the table, making a jingling sound...

Cao Geng smiled and said, "This is what I gained from my trip to Taiyani. Everything else can be discarded, except for the magic crystals, which must be ensured to be sufficient. Otherwise, the next time I accumulate wealth, I will directly use it to buy magic crystals."

When the brigade commander heard the sound, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as violent as a drumbeat.

He carefully opened the leather backpack.

Sure enough, the inside was filled with bags of magic crystals.

The brigade commander opened his backpack, and the first thing that caught his eye was stacks of glittering Japanese yen-shaped magic paper.

The chief of staff and the political commissar were dumbfounded.

The brigade commander continued to take out envelopes full of heavy silver coins.

Next, there were gold coins shining brightly.

These probably weigh dozens of pounds!

Oh my God, how can there be such a huge wealth?

Cao Geng revealed: "I accidentally killed the commander of the 56th Legion, and these were taken from his secret treasure chest. Perhaps this is equivalent to their military reserves for several months?"

"Good boy, I didn't expect you could bring back so much wealth from the assassination. Haha..."

The brigade commander laughed with delight.

The chief of staff said excitedly: "Now, we can buy the magic gun, haha..."

Cao Geng said: "Chief of Staff, you may be too happy too early. This amount of money can only buy a few thousand magic guns at most. Let alone equip an entire brigade, it can barely equip a battalion."

Indeed, they now have from two to three thousand men in each battalion.

The chief of staff said: "That's enough. It's enough. We don't ask for the whole brigade to be armed. Having a force of 1,000 people is enough."

The brigade commander said, "Okay, Cao Geng, get ready and go with me to Luyang City tomorrow with Lu Zhaowu."

"As ordered."

Cao Geng quickly stood up and agreed.

He enjoyed going out and playing with the devil, which was something he never tired of.

When Cao Geng returned to his residence, Zheng Xiao, Zheng Xiong and Cao Muyan were already waiting there.

"Congratulations, Captain. Congratulations, Captain..."

As soon as the three of them arrived, they congratulated in a solemn manner.

Cao Geng replied unhappily: "What are you congratulating? Fortunately, you are only the battalion commander. If you become the regiment commander, I won't be able to take you out to play in the future."

"hey-hey……"

The three of them immediately laughed foolishly.

Cao Geng thought for a moment and said, "The three of you should get ready and follow me to protect the brigade commander as we head to Luyang City tomorrow."

The three of them suddenly had their eyes light up, stood at attention and answered, “Yes.”

The next morning, five huge magic trucks set off from Dacaozhuang.

Cao Geng drove one of the vehicles himself, and the brigade commander, disguised as a businessman, sat next to him.

Cao Geng, Zheng Xiao and Zheng Xiong were also wearing civilian clothes.

Cao Geng pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Brigade Commander, what is our purpose in going to Luyang City?"

The brigade commander said, "There is a powerful American businessman in Luoyang. He is very powerful. I think he will take over our deal."

Cao Geng nodded. An American businessman who could do big business in this land occupied by demons must have an extraordinary background.

Cao Geng asked, "How do you plan to enter the city?"

The brigade commander replied unhappily: "If we go in like this, what else can we do?"

Cao Geng said: "Commander, this is unprofessional! When you arrive at the devil's land, it is better to disguise yourself as a devil than to pretend to be a businessman!"

The brigade commander frowned and said, "Stop joking. I don't understand the foreign language. If I enter the city, I will be exposed."

Cao Geng smiled and replied: "It's not that I forgot. Do you still remember what happened last time? If not me, who else can deal with the demons? I will have no worries."

The brigade commander remained silent, and only said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where can I find the uniforms of the demon army now?"

Cao Geng was speechless for a moment.

When they reached the outskirts of Luyang, the convoy hid in the dense forests and the vehicles were concealed therein.

The brigade commander jumped off the carriage and instructed: "Lu Zhaowu, you lead your troops to support outside. Cao Geng and your three warriors follow me into the city."

Lu Zhaowu knew very well that it would be difficult for these people to sneak in, so he respectfully agreed.

"Cao Geng, the brigade commander's safety is temporarily in your hands. If you make any mistakes, I will not forgive you."

Cao Geng snorted, "Lu Zhaowu, are you itching for trouble again? Talking like this will easily lead to a fight, you know?"

Lu Zhaowu was speechless for a moment, as he was already accustomed to this boy's cunning.

The brigade commander led Cao Geng and the other three towards the Luyang city gate.

"Remember, you must address me as shopkeeper when you talk to me. Shopkeeper Chen, do you understand?"

Cao Geng quickly responded, "I will follow the brigade commander's orders."

The brigade commander looked unhappy: "I'll remember it."

Cao Geng obeyed: "I'll remember that, Brigade Commander."

Zheng Xiong and the other two laughed secretly in the background.

Soon, the five men arrived at the city gate.

At this time, many civilians lined up waiting for inspection at the city gate.

The demons and puppet soldiers searched them noisily and domineeringly.

A fake soldier found a silver coin from a young man and immediately presented it to the captain of the demon army: "My lord, a silver coin."

The captain of the demon army's eyes lit up: "Yo, you have a lot of potential, keep going."

The young man looked dissatisfied when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, please don't take my money! This is for the medicine to treat my mother's illness. If you lose this money, my mother will be beyond help!"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the demon army became furious.

The flying kick knocked the young man to the ground: "Baga, what does your mother's life or death have to do with me? I'm telling you, this is the city tax, understand? Get out of here..."

The young man argued: "Why do others only need two copper coins, but I need one silver coin? My king, this is mine, you cannot take it away!"

Cao Geng felt mixed emotions as what was playing out before his eyes was actually a classic scene from the anti-Japanese legend.

In the past, every civilian who was plundered by demons was doing so to buy medicine for their mothers.

Cao Geng thought it was absurd when he watched it before, but today he witnessed it with his own eyes.

Cao Geng was indignant and wanted to step forward, but was held back by the brigade commander, who shook his head as a signal.

The brigade commander whispered so that only the two of them could hear, "We are here for important matters, not to cause trouble."

Cao Geng murmured, "What should this young man do? He has no money to buy medicine, and his mother will indeed die of illness."

The brigade commander pondered and said, "Among the many solutions, if you really sympathize with him, you can give him a silver crystal after entering the city. It is better than groaning here and delaying our mission. Do you understand?"

Cao Geng nodded slightly and accepted the brigade commander's suggestion.

In a blink of an eye, it was Cao Geng's turn to step forward.

He was carrying two silver crystals, which were also taken away by the alien guards.

Cao Geng remembered the brigade commander's words and chose to endure silently.

When he became the brigade commander, a silver crystal on his body also fell into the hands of aliens.

Zheng Xiong and his men were short of money and only had a few copper tokens, which were also confiscated.

Damn, these foreign kids really don’t show any mercy!

In this way, the five people entered the city safely, but their pockets were empty.

Cao Geng looked at the crying young man in front of him and said to the brigade commander: "Brigade commander, what can we use to help that young man now?"
