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

In Zheng Xiao's barracks, Zheng Xiao was pacing with an angry look on his face, and several soldiers were watching him.

Zheng Xiao seemed indignant, as if he had been treated unfairly.

In fact, he was extremely anxious.

Damn it, it's over, Cao Geng has started to doubt me. He no longer trusts me, and all my previous efforts will go to waste!

How to do?How to do?

Zheng Xiao paced back and forth while thinking, with his hands behind his back.

He never dreamed that the reason for his exposure was a photo.

Damn it, since it’s already come to this, I’m going to fight you.

At this time, two soldiers rushed into the barracks and went straight to the command post, but found that the brigade commander was not there.

The soldier asked a few questions and then ran away.

Word spread quickly that the gold had been found.

The soldiers were instantly delighted and ran out of the door, overjoyed.

Many soldiers even ran towards the foreign trading companies, even if they couldn't help, they just wanted to see the excitement.

Zheng Xiao was even more confused and puzzled.

Has the gold really been found?

Damn Cao Geng, I’m going to kill you.

Zheng Yi picked up his weapon and walked out of the barracks. Like other soldiers, he headed towards the foreign trading company.

As they approached the trading company, Zheng Xiao quietly left the crowd...

Soon, he found a three-story stone tower and climbed up with his tenacious body.

On the top of the third floor of the stone tower, Zheng Yi set up his ancient magic weapon, the Crossbow of Erigaland, and the crossbow's aiming line was aimed at the territory of the Ghost Trading Company.

That’s right, Zheng Xiao couldn’t wait any longer. Mainly because he realized that waiting was meaningless and Cao Geng had lost trust in him. He missed the best opportunity to kill Cao Geng.

In this case, today, he will make a final break with Cao Geng.

In fact, he was not acting on impulse.

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the direction of the Ghost Trading Company. If he launched a surprise attack at this moment, his chances of success would be extremely great.

At least in his opinion, it was safer than sneaking up and assassinating Cao Geng at close range.

In the military camp, in the chief of staff's stone chamber, the chief of staff's injuries had improved significantly.

The chief of staff leaned on the bed, and the brigade commander sat beside him and talked to him.

"Chief of Staff, the action plan I submitted was rejected. The top leaders disagree with our attack on Ghost's airport. But I know that Cao Geng will never give up. Can you give me some advice? How should we deal with it?"

The chief of staff smiled bitterly and responded, "Old Chen! You are not a good friend! I was injured and had a rare opportunity to take a break, but you didn't let me go."

The brigade commander immediately looked unhappy: "Look at you, are you talking like a human being? What do you mean by 'rarely get hurt'? You old man, you are also starting to act unprofessional. Help me think of a solution, what should we do? Otherwise, that kid will turn around and sneak over with his men, do you believe it?"

The chief of staff said helplessly: "I say, Lao Chen, you spoiled him. Li Yunlong is like this, and you are also like this. Can't you teach him a lesson once? If you subdue him, he won't dare to do anything wrong."

The brigade commander was speechless: "Is this your solution? Then tell me, how do we teach him a lesson? According to the rules of our Tianxing Army, we cannot corporally punish soldiers.

He made a mistake and had to be put in solitary confinement, but he was not afraid at all. You want to remove him from his position! Hey, that's exactly what he wants. What can I do? I am helpless too!"

The Chief of Staff nodded and said, "This is the true portrayal of strength comes from lack of desire!"

The brigade commander also nodded: "I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have never seen a soldier like this. He didn't do anything bad, he just likes to wander around and violate military discipline.

But every time he comes back, he can still make merit. What can I do? Am I spoiling him? Oh! Isn't it ridiculous to punish him for not observing discipline when he has made merit? "

That's right, if you have made great military achievements, what does it matter if you violate military discipline a little bit? How do you punish them?

The chief of staff complained slightly, "I told you not to cause trouble! Are you having a headache now? This kind of thing should be left to that kid Li Yunlong. Now that you have taken over, I wonder how proud that kid is? Hehe..."

As the chief of staff spoke, he actually laughed to himself.

The brigade commander immediately said in dissatisfaction: "You can still laugh, I'm almost dying of a headache."

The tactician sighed heavily and said, "Forget it, Lao Chen. This kid was born to fight. All we can do is to guide him to avoid some unnecessary hardships. Don't even think about putting pressure on him."

If Cao Geng were here, he would definitely hold the tactical master's hand tightly and sigh with emotion: "Master, you are my soulmate! I, Cao Geng, was just a lone ranger in my previous life. How could I know how to lead an army? Leading a small team is already my limit. If I go beyond that, with my unruly soul, I can only wander around and cannot take on this important task."

If Cao Geng heard these words, he would definitely feel sad.

The brigade commander nodded and said, "You are right. This kid is indeed outstanding and has his own way of training soldiers. He just doesn't want to lead the soldiers. Look at the people in the Ninth Battalion. Apart from training, has he ever cared about anything else? If it weren't for Duan Peng's assistance, I'm afraid he would have led a rebellious team long ago!"

Before he could finish his words, two panting soldiers rushed in.

"Brigade Commander, tactical master, we found it, we found it! Battalion Commander, please go over and confirm it in person."

The brigade commander straightened up instantly and asked anxiously: "Found it? Really? How many are there?"

The soldiers shook their heads to indicate, "The number is unknown, but we have found it anyway."

The brigade commander and the tactical master were ecstatic.

"Haha, Master, we found the treasure. Haha, wait here for a moment. I'll go see how many there are. This guy sent his men over without even reporting the number. It's really frustrating."

The brigade commander turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by a shout.

"stop."

The tactician shouted. The brigade commander stopped and looked back in confusion.

The tactician struggled to stand up, and two guards rushed forward to help him. "No, I want to see it with my own eyes, too."

The brigade commander was helpless, knowing that persuasion was futile, and quickly ordered: "Stretcher, quick, prepare a stretcher for the master..."

So, everyone carried the tactical master and headed towards the Japanese trading company.

In the Japanese trading company, Cao Geng was still directing the soldiers to clear the rubble at the basement entrance, completely unaware that a pair of resentful eyes were staring at him in the distance.

At this moment, not only Cao Geng, but also the soldiers were full of enthusiasm and their work efficiency doubled.

Soon, the rubble at the entrance was cleared away, and the brigade commander and the tactical master finally arrived.

"Oh, Master, why are you here too? Look at my negligence. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble. How rude!"

Cao Geng ran over and helped the tactician up. Although his waist was injured and he had difficulty moving, he could still walk slowly.

The tactical master's guards came and supported the master together with Cao Geng, leading the brigade commander, and slowly walked into the basement. Several soldiers used flashlights to illuminate the way, and the three of them slowly went downstairs and stepped into the basement.

In an instant, the basement was filled with dazzling golden light, and the three were deeply shocked by the glittering light...

The warriors who followed them into the abyss all opened their eyes wide, too shocked to speak.

My God, what a spectacle this is!

The magical metal gleaming with golden light and the legendary glittering golden scales stood before them like a mountain, as if a myth had come to pass.

This scene is extremely shocking.

"Haha, military advisor, we have gained endless wealth! Haha..."

The usually calm and composed brigade commander could not suppress his inner joy and laughed out loud.

No one would be able to resist such a temptation, let alone the brigade commander of his small fantasy kingdom.

Even the supreme commander of the demon world or the bald wizard would probably go crazy upon seeing such a huge amount of magic metal!

The military advisor's hand trembled as he reached out to a huge golden scale and picked it up.

"Yes, this weight is indeed pure magic metal. I never expected that our kingdom's warriors would also have the opportunity to enjoy a mountain of magic metal! Haha... It's worth it, all the pain I have suffered is worth it..."

Indeed, to be able to recover so much magical metal from the devil, all the sacrifices will be turned into glory.

This is more than just a bunch of magic metal; it's a trade-off in power, a symbol of victory.

This operation will deal an unprecedented heavy blow to the demons.

"Haha, I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see such a huge amount of magic metal in my lifetime. Military Advisor, what do you think we should do with these metals?"

The military advisor replied firmly: "Hand it over. You must hand it over in full."

The brigade commander said helplessly: "I understand that we have to turn it in, but the question is, how can we turn it in safely?"

Indeed, if one drags such a huge amount of wealth out, the news will probably spread to all directions in just three hours.

Wealth is enough to shake people's hearts, let alone such a huge treasure. Many people will take risks for it.

The demons, border defenders, and the central ruling group are probably all ready to make a move, right?

Cao Geng interrupted, "Who cares? I will personally lead the three companies of the Ninth Battalion to escort them. Who dares to rob them?"

The brigade commander said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. Let's transport the metal back to the barracks first! Only when they are brought back safely can I feel at ease."

The military advisor nodded in agreement: "Okay, take them back to the camp first. Haha..."

The brigade commander loudly ordered: "Lu Zhaowu, go and find a magic transport vehicle. We will load up and set off."

"As ordered."

Lu Zhaowu left in response, his steps as brisk as the wind in excitement.

After seeing enough of the wonders, I also touched the mysterious metal with my own hands.

The military advisor's guards took the military advisor from Cao Geng and assisted him in leaving the underground secret room.

Cao Geng and the brigade commander stayed inside for a while before walking out of the secret room with satisfaction.

A hundred steps away, Zheng Yi was lurking quietly on the roof, with the muzzle of his gun pointed at the exit of the basement, and through the four-fold scope, he could see all the movements.

Zheng Xiao exhaled slowly and adjusted himself to the best shooting position.

Ready, this moment.

As long as Cao Geng shows up, Zheng Yi will kill him with one shot.

At this excellent shooting distance, if Zheng Xiao still can't hit the target, he might as well go back and drown himself.

As soon as Cao Geng and the brigade commander left the secret room, Cao Geng suddenly felt a chill sweeping through his body.

He rushed to the brigade commander without hesitation, pinned him to the ground, and shouted: "There is an assassin, protect the brigade commander, quickly..."

Almost at the same moment.

"boom……"

A magic missile flew over Cao Geng's head and cut off several strands of hair.

There is an assassin attacking. How can we just sit there and do nothing?

The Eighth Route Army warriors responded instantly and ran towards the aftermath of the magic like the wind.

"How is this possible? This doesn't make sense!"

Zheng Xiao slammed the ground with his palm suddenly, his mind almost collapsed. He quickly put away his staff, turned over and ran downstairs.

He was puzzled. How could Cao Geng dodge the magic bullet that should have hit him without a doubt? It was really weird.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Eighth Route Army warriors rushed in like a gust of wind.

As soon as Zheng Yi reached the bottom floor, he saw dozens of comrades running towards him, led by Duan Peng.

Duan Peng frowned immediately when he saw Zheng Xiao.

Zheng Xiao did not expect the soldiers to be so quick, and shouted loudly: "Duan Peng, hurry up, the assassin fled over there. I just caught a glimpse of him, he is a beastman, chase him quickly..."

At this moment, Duan Peng did not have time to think too much, and led everyone and Zheng Yi to chase after them quickly.

However, after chasing for a long time, the group of people did not even find any trace of the beastman assassin.

What's worse, they were not the only ones searching for the enemy, but they were everywhere in the city. They searched almost the entire city, but still couldn't find any trace of orcs.

It was as if the assassin had evaporated into thin air.

Finally, Duan Peng had no choice but to bring Zheng Xiao to Cao Geng and report: "Report to the battalion commander, the city-wide search was fruitless and the assassin was not found."

Cao Geng glanced at Zheng Xiao and asked, "Zheng Xiao, why are you here? Didn't you go back to rest?"

Zheng Xiao looked calm and responded, "Since something like this has happened, of course I have to come out and help catch the assassin!"

Cao Geng nodded and said, "Good brother, since you are not feeling well, go back and rest! Don't overwork yourself, your health is important."

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Brother Geng."

Zheng Xiao saluted, then turned and left.

Looking at Zheng Xiao's back, Cao Geng asked, "Duan Peng, where did you meet him?"

Duan Peng thought for a moment and replied, "Haozi, when I led my men over there, he was the first person I saw."

Cao Geng took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said painfully: "Brothers, please withdraw your troops. There is no need to look for him anymore."

Duan Peng hesitated: "Haozi, this..."

Cao Geng interrupted with a wave of his hand, saying, "No need to say more."

Duan Peng quickly responded: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Brigade Commander Chen stepped forward and asked, "Do you think it was him?"

Cao Geng nodded, sighed, and said painfully: "Nine out of ten, I don't understand. I can understand that he killed Dahan, but why did he kill me? Is it just because I questioned him just now? It shouldn't be the case, right?"
