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

Chapter 280: Gambling Showdown with the Ghost Nation

Shadow City, inside the ghost camp.

Cao Geng used a mysterious voice transmitter to guide his companions and successfully obtained the magic carriage.

The residents of these ghost countries still had faith and did not attack them.

After ensuring that the team had set off, Cao Geng was led into the dreamland by two beauties from the ghost kingdom.

It was not Cao Geng's downfall, but the inevitable development of the plot.

The next morning, notices were posted on every bulletin stone in Shadow City.

Cao Geng announced that he would fight against 100 warriors from the Ghost Country alone, and openly fight to the death in the arena in the center of the city. Wizard reporters from all over the world are welcome to come and report, including recorders from China.

Not only did the notice cover the bulletin stone, but even the magical newspaper of the Ghost Country reported the incident on the front page.

God!

Cao Geng's courage is truly amazing; he actually dared to fight against a hundred ghost warriors alone.

Instantly, the entire Shadow City was in an uproar. No matter which magic tavern you walked into or which conversation group you joined, the hot topics were all the same.

The warriors of the Ghost Kingdom living in Shadow City rose up in anger.

Especially those wandering swordsmen, invisible ninjas and giant wrestlers who have been practicing for years, they came in groups, vying to sign up, vowing to teach Cao Geng a lesson and show the power of their island martial arts.

In an instant, the entire Shadow City was swept by this craze, and the teleportation crystals of various forces were busy. Magic newspapers in other cities in China also reported this on the front page.

Soon, Brigade Commander Chen got the newspaper.

When he saw the news, the chief of staff and the political commissar were both dumbfounded.

Wasn't Cao Geng going to attack the ghost airport? Why did he go to compete with the ghost warriors instead? What was going on?

The deputy commander also learned about this newspaper and felt mixed emotions.

Cao Geng is going to fight against a hundred ghost warriors alone in Shadow City? Is it possible for him to come back alive?

The deputy commander was furious and ordered that the hidden forces in Shadow City must find a way to rescue Cao Geng.

Even the forces on Yan Laoxi's side could no longer hold back.

After all, the bald commander had a good impression of Cao Geng and ordered that he must be rescued at all costs.

For a moment, the various forces in Shadow City were surging undercurrents, and the tense atmosphere of impending storms enveloped the entire city. The entire Shadow City fell into an eerie silence.

Cao Geng, on the other hand, knew nothing about the outside world...

His mission now is to keep a close eye on those mysterious companions and confirm whether they have returned safely to their strange home.

More importantly, he had to conquer the two elf women surrounding him.

Incredibly, this was the happiest time since he had arrived in this strange world.

Now, Cao Geng understood why countless creatures were obsessed with becoming messengers from other worlds. It turned out that this identity was so comfortable.

Tang Long and his companions, holding alien passes, drove two magic jeeps and sped through the magic forest at lightning speed.

They continued to travel without stopping until dawn of the third day, when they finally returned to the remote Luyang City.

When Brigade Commander Chen saw the seven people returning, he felt mixed emotions.

The seven people stood in front of Brigade Commander Chen, not daring to speak easily.

Brigade Commander Chen stared at them and asked in a trembling voice: "What happened? Why did only seven of you return? Where is Cao Geng?"

The seven people looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Finally, Tang Long mustered up the courage to stand up and explain: "Commander, Zheng Xiao is an enemy from another world. We were discovered as soon as we arrived. We were surrounded immediately. Zheng Xiao, that villain, killed Tang Liu and held Cao Muyan hostage. We were surrounded again."

"In the end, the battalion commander had no choice but to serve as a hostage so that we could escape. That's what happened."

"Ah? So the newspaper reports are true?"

Brigade Commander Chen and the Chief of Staff were both dumbfounded.

"What did the newspaper say?"

Tang Long asked back in confusion.

"You will know for yourself..."

Brigade Commander Chen threw a yellowed parchment in front of him.

Tang Long took it and looked at the title, and was immediately stunned.

"No way, our battalion commander is going to challenge a hundred enemies from other worlds? And still in Taiyuan City?"

Seven people were all stunned. Isn't this just seeking death?

The chief of staff was heartbroken: "Even if this happened, you shouldn't have left Cao Geng alone!"

Brigade Commander Chen was furious: "What else do you think I don't know? Tell me... Tell me in detail."

Brigade Commander Chen was extremely angry. It was unbelievable that these guys left Cao Geng alone in Taiyuan and escaped back by themselves.

At this moment, he could only try to find out as many details as possible, hoping to find a way to rescue Cao Geng.

As for Cao Geng, the moment the radio contact was lost, he gave up the two beautiful elves and the magical delicacies on the table and walked out of the room.

As soon as Cao Gengyu appeared, Xiwu Dalang immediately led his men to follow him eagerly, in the name of "protection", and they were inseparable from him, just like a loyal dog servant.

Xiwu Dalang groveled and asked, "Sir Cao Geng, where are you going?"

Cao Geng replied, "Being trapped in a room for a long time is not a long-term solution. I want to go to your castle to take a look. Can you protect me, General?"

Xiwu Dalang immediately assured: "Nothing will go wrong, Lord Cao Geng. If anyone dares to bully you, he will be my enemy. I will never let him off easily."

Cao Geng rebuked: "Nonsense, your division commander came yesterday, why didn't you protect me?"

squeak……

Seibu Taro was suddenly speechless, and the scene was extremely embarrassing.

Cao Geng said earnestly: "Wu Dalang, what do you have to fear? Now you are already a star-rank colonel, and the division commander is only a moon-rank major general, whose rank is only one level higher than yours. Why should you be afraid?"

Seibu Taro was suddenly speechless. His rank as a colonel was still that of a squad leader. How could he be compared with a division commander?

True, his rank had risen, but his position remained the same.

Cao Geng encouraged him, "Show your dignity as a colonel, and I will help you ascend to the position of captain of the constellation one day. If you are still timid, how can I help you? Don't you agree?"

When Seibu Dalang heard this, his eyes sparkled.

"Yes, yes, Lord Cao Geng, from now on, whatever you order me to do, I will do my best and will never back down."

Seibu Dalang has full confidence in Cao Geng's ability. Since he can be promoted to colonel, it should not be difficult for him to be promoted to captain of the Constellation.

Well, at least promotion to Star Captain should be possible, right?

Therefore, he must follow closely.

"Hi Yi..."

Cao Geng then responded with satisfaction: "This is what an imperial warrior should do. How can you be so cowardly? When you see injustice, you should suppress it with an iron fist. Do you understand?"

"Hi……"

Seibu Taro immediately stood at attention and responded.

"Hey, take me to the barracks and have a look around! Don't worry, I won't run away and won't make things difficult for you."

"Hi……"

Like a loyal follower, Seibu Dalang led a group of Japanese soldiers and accompanied Cao Geng in the military camp.

At this moment, Cao Geng was still wearing the uniform of a Japanese lieutenant, and ordinary Japanese soldiers did not recognize him.

A lieutenant was followed by a star-rank colonel as his assistant and a large group of Japanese soldiers surrounding him. Such momentum was truly shocking.

Well, it does look different.

The colonel became the lieutenant's assistant!

Cao Geng has one day to get to know the terrain in this military camp, so that the next assassination attempt will be easy.

Well, this is an excellent quality of an assassin, always understanding the situation first.

Of course, Xiwu Dalang is not a stupid person and would never take Cao Geng to a confidential place, such as a pharmacy.

Soon, the group arrived at the Japanese camp area.

It was noon, and the Japanese had not conducted any training in the past two days, so they could be seen everywhere in the barracks area.

From a distance, Cao Geng heard a sound that aroused his interest.

That’s right, it was the shouting of the devils when they were gambling.

However, when Cao Geng approached, the sound suddenly disappeared.

Cao Geng understood immediately.

There is no way. With a colonel by your side, who would dare to gamble?

Cao Geng turned to Xi Wu Dalang and said, "Wu Dalang, this place is quite monotonous. Go and tell them to continue the gambling. I also want to participate."

"No problem, no problem..."

Xiwu Dalang immediately ran into the camp excitedly and shouted: "Warriors, don't be afraid, continue the game, we will join in."

When the devils heard this, they immediately appeared from all corners and brought out all kinds of gambling tools...

Then, the wizard Cao Geng and the warrior Xiwu Dalang were invited into the mysterious stone hall and asked if they were willing to join this magical gamble.

After Cao Geng smiled and shook his head to refuse, the game began lively.

This spacious stone hall was like an ancient storage cellar, gathering numerous creatures from other worlds, many of whom knew a thing or two about Seibu Taro and congratulated him on his promotion to a high position.

There were still some people who did not know Cao Geng's identity, and Xiwu Dalang wisely remained silent and did not reveal his real name.

After the conversation, Cao Geng gently patted Xiwu Dalang on the shoulder and suggested: "Do you have money? Lend me some as gambling money."

Seibu Dalang was stunned and thought to himself: Why are you gambling if you have no money?

Cao Geng said unhappily, "Why are you in a daze? Have you forgotten the gold coins I won yesterday? Take them out now."

Click...

Xiwu Dalang carefully took out ten glittering silver magic crystal coins: "This is all I brought."

Cao Geng took it and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll return it to you later. It's just ten magic crystal coins. You know, my monthly magic allowance is one thousand."

Xiwu Dalang's eyes sparkled. Yes, this guy's income far exceeded theirs. He must be a wealthy magician! He hurriedly said, "Take it and gamble. Take it and gamble. If you win, you don't have to pay it back."

Cao Geng asked: "Wu Dalang, do you want to become rich overnight?"

At this point, Cao Geng felt bored, and he decided to push this incompetent captain to the pinnacle of power. Now that he was a high-ranking officer, if he had more wealth, how could he not be made the head of the corps?

Seibu Taro quickly replied, "Of course I did."

Cao Geng explained: "If you want, just take out your money and place a bet with me. You place your bet wherever I bet. Do you understand?"

Xiwu Dalang nodded quickly: "I understand, I understand, I definitely understand!"

In this way, the alien creatures around will no longer have to worry.

They rolled dice and gambled in the stone hall, while outside, three layers of guards stood guard.

The alien creature in charge of gambling shook the magic dice and shouted loudly: "Place your bets, place your bets, bet big for big, bet small for small..."

Cao Geng bet all ten magic crystal coins on Xiao Shang.

Hmm? Is this how we play it?

Xiwu Dalang was surprised, and quickly took out five magic crystal coins and followed Cao Geng to press on Xiaoshang.

My heartbeat quickens.

After all, he had never been involved in gambling on such a large scale.

The dice shooter announced loudly: "No more changes, here comes the result, one, two, three, six, the little one wins..."

As a result, Cao Geng won ten magic crystal coins and Xiwu Dalang also received five.

Seibu Otaro was ecstatic and smiled brightly.

In the next round, Cao Geng bet all 20 magic crystal coins on Xiao Shang.

Seibu Dalang also hurriedly followed and pressed down five.

Cao Geng said helplessly: "All in, do you know how to gamble?"

Uh?

Xiwu Dalang was full of doubts. Is gambling really like this? Betting five coins, even if you lose, you are guaranteed, do you understand?

But he only dared to mutter in his heart, how could he dare to speak out?

Cao Geng gave a look and he immediately staked the remaining five magic crystal coins.

At this moment, the alien creature in charge of gambling has already cast his attention on Cao Geng...

However, even if you understand all this, you cannot reverse the fate of gambling. In this mysterious world, no one dares to control the turning of the wheel of fortune.

Because the result of fraud is often accompanied by the loss of life.

The demon soldier who manipulated the gambling game was only a lieutenant, while Seibu Tairo was a majestic colonel. Do you dare to cheat in front of them?

When the demon soldier uncovered the dice cup and once again revealed the secret of "Xiao", Seibu Dalang's eyes flashed with fanaticism.

In the next round, Cao Geng pressed all the forty magic gold coins in his hand towards "Xiao" without hesitation.

Without any urging, Seibu Taro followed suit and put in all the twenty magic gold coins in his hand.

The lieutenant of the demon world who was the banker immediately frowned. These two guys were betting too heavily.

You know, a colonel's monthly magic salary is only ten magic coins. The two of them alone bet sixty at once. The rest of the demon world soldiers only have two or three magic coins at most.

If Cao Geng wins again, the lieutenant will be unable to pay.

Despite this, the Demon Lieutenant still gritted his teeth and threw a new round.

However, the result is still "small".

The lieutenant fell silent for a moment because he no longer had enough gold coins to pay the compensation.

Seeing this, Cao Geng suggested: "The watch and the golden magic ring can also be used as collateral. We are both travelers from another world, and I will give a fair price."

The demon lieutenant was furious, but helpless. He took off the magic gold Rolex watch on his wrist and asked, "How much is it worth?"

Cao Geng replied: "Two thousand magic gold coins, is that a fair enough price?"

The demon lieutenant nodded and said, "This price is indeed high. Then, give me the gold coins!"

Cao Geng responded: "I don't have enough gold coins at the moment, so I can't exchange them for the time being. Keep playing, I'll be ready in a while."

The lieutenant of the demon world was extremely angry! He was penniless, yet he was pretending to be rich?
