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

Cao Geng sat upright in the carriage, chatting and laughing with Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

At this moment, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's confidence in Cao Geng has reached its peak.

They said that they would leave the matter entirely to Cao Geng to handle and they would never interfere and would just wait for the results.

In the outside world, the army under Li Yunlong's command was approaching, and rows of brave warriors riding shadow beasts gathered here.

Damn, why are there so many Shadow Knights here?

The brave warriors of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army broke out in cold sweat and their limbs trembled.

I prayed silently in my heart: Captain, please come soon and don’t let us fall into despair!

Indeed! They were only a small team. If Cao Geng got angry, how would they respond?

While Cao Geng and others discussed for a while in the carriage, he glanced at his pocket watch.

He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, the moon has passed, why hasn't Wu Ziqiang shown up yet?"

Hearing Cao Geng's words, Zhao Gang hurriedly tried to comfort him: "Cao Geng, be gentle and do not destroy the alliance between the two sides to resist the forces of darkness."

Cao Geng responded: "Don't worry, Political Commissar, I know what's going on."

After saying this, Cao Geng stepped out of the carriage.

He shouted to the warriors of the Jinsui Army: "Well, the time of the moon has passed. Do you want to surrender on your own, or do you want me to tie you up personally?"

"No need, no need, we will disarm ourselves, we will disarm ourselves."

Dozens of brave warriors of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army rushed forward and obediently handed over their weapons.

Then he put his hands on his head, knelt on the ground, and prayed in his heart that their leader would come quickly.

Cao Geng stared at them and asked, "Do you know what my relationship is with your Captain Chu Yunfei?"

The brave captain said quickly, "I know a thing or two. It is said that you are the sworn brother of our Captain Chu."

"A bunch of nonsense."

Cao Geng was immediately furious and said, "How could you be unaware of what your captain Chu did? As a brother, he actually wanted to kill me. If your captain had not come in person, what fate would you have faced?"

"Come on, Lord Cao Geng, we are just trying to survive, you really don't have to make things difficult for us!"

The team leader immediately burst into tears and cried and begged.

Cao Geng said, "I tell you, if you are lucky enough to return safely this time, you must pass this letter to your companions and tell them that one day, I will ask Chu Yunfei to pay off the old debt. The wise thing to do is to surrender to us and join our Eighth Route Army! There is no need to follow him and die in vain. You also know that I have the power to drive away evil spirits, so it is no problem to deal with you."

"Yes, yes, yes, we will definitely remember it in our hearts. We will definitely remember it in our hearts."

A dozen Shanxi-Suiyuan Army warriors nodded hurriedly in response.

Cao Geng added: "If you complete this task, come here and I will give you a generous reward."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

More than a dozen brave soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army quickly agreed.

At this time, Wu Ziqiang personally rode the dragon horse and galloped over.

As soon as he saw Cao Geng, he immediately jumped off his horse, walked towards Cao Geng, and respectfully asked: "Sir Cao Geng, why are you here?"

Cao Geng said unhappily, "Nonsense, I am from the independent army. If not here, where else can I go?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Wu Ziqiang replied hastily: "Sir Cao Geng, you summoned me here, what is your mission?"

Cao Geng asked, "What do you intend to do by setting up this barrier? Earlier, your subordinates even said they wanted to search me. Was this also your idea?"

"I wouldn't dare, Mr. Cao Geng, please don't misunderstand me. Even if I had a few more heads, I wouldn't dare to be so rude to you!"

Wu Ziqiang was also helpless. Even their regiment leader did not dare to act rashly against Cao Geng, so how could he dare to compete with him?

Faced with Cao Geng, he had no choice but to submit.

Cao Geng said dissatisfiedly: "It seems a little strange? Is the rumor wrong?"

"Absolutely not."

Wu Ziqiang explained anxiously: "They didn't recognize you at first! This is where we are stationed. Anyone who enters our defense area must be checked as a routine matter."

"That's to the point."

Cao Geng said: "If I remember correctly, when I left, this place has always been the territory of our independent army. When did it become the territory of your Jinsui Army? You have to give me an explanation for this matter."

call……

Wu Ziqiang's face instantly became extremely embarrassed. He said with a bitter face: "Sir Cao Geng, I am just following your orders. Please don't embarrass me, okay?"

"I just want to embarrass you, what do you think? I just want to embarrass you, tell me, how are you going to deal with it?"

call……

Wu Ziqiang's face became even gloomier, and he almost looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Cao Geng said sternly: "You actually led your army to invade my territory, and you still want me to treat you as a guest of honor?"

"That's not the case. Lord Cao Geng, can you please be reasonable? Our leader said that there was no one here before we arrived. That's why I'm here!"

Cao Geng said proudly: "Now, this land is under my control. Go back quickly, gather your tribesmen, pack your bags, and return to your original place immediately. And tell Chu Yunfei not to provoke me, otherwise, his life will be in danger."

"This statement..."

Wu Ziqiang's eyes were filled with fear and he almost cried out.

"Brother Cao Geng, how can I face my lord when I go back like this?" Wu Ziqiang pleaded.

Cao Geng said coldly: "That is your business, it has nothing to do with me."

Wu Ziqiang gritted his teeth and said, "What if I don't leave?"

"You will be buried here." Cao Geng said mercilessly.

"You dare? This is destroying our plan to fight against the evil together." Wu Ziqiang said sternly.

Cao Geng said calmly: "Don't confuse right and wrong in front of me. You were the first to invade my territory. It is you who destroyed the unity to resist the enemy. Go back! You can't afford to fight me. Tell your lord that he won't blame you for this."

After saying this, Cao Geng jumped onto his giant mount, stuck his head out and said, "Please remove the roadblocks and lead your men away."

Wu Ziqiang stood there in a daze, looking at a loss.

Cao Geng shouted angrily: "Just do it, why are you standing here? You have two days to evacuate the territory of my independent army. If you don't leave within the time limit, I will take your head myself. Get out..."

"As ordered."

Wu Ziqiang responded hastily, turned around and shouted to the dozen or so knights in ancient armor who were waiting, "Everyone, get up and return."

“Woo woo woo…”

The knights quickly stood up and prepared to evacuate.

Cao Geng ordered: "Stop, take your wands with you. I don't even look at such crude things."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

The knights hurriedly picked up their wands, removed the obstacles for Cao Geng and his men, and then fled in a panic.

Zhao Gang laughed and said, "You little brat, it seems you are well-known in the Jinsui Army!"

Cao Geng replied: "Of course, as for Chu Yunfei, I will teach him a lesson when the time is right."

Zhao Gang was stunned and asked, "Aren't you brothers? Why do you want to make a grudge with him?"

"Brother? Pah. Political Commissar, listen to me, this man is really unreasonable. I asked him to refine 3,000 magic wands for me, but he tried to take them all and even wanted to take my life. Fortunately, I was smart, otherwise, my tombstone would probably be covered with moss."

Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and Yang Xiuqin all looked surprised.

Li Yunlong said: "Is this true? Fortunately you told me today, otherwise I would have thought he was a gentleman!"

Cao Geng nodded: "This man is indeed a gentleman, but he is too rigidly loyal. For the sake of his so-called kingdom, he will use any means."

Chatting and laughing along the way, Cao Geng and his group gradually walked away.

After Wu Ziqiang returned to the secret room deep in the stone fortress, he immediately sent a magic message to Chu Yunfei.

As soon as the message arrived, Wu Ziqiang said anxiously: "My Lord, it's not good, Cao Geng is back."

Chu Yunfei was startled and immediately asked, "Did you see him?"

Wu Ziqiang quickly replied: "I did see it..."

Then, Wu Ziqiang told Chu Yunfei everything that had just happened in detail...

After listening to this, Chu Yunfei fell into deep thought. His eyes seemed to penetrate the fog and see the unknown world in the distance.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Wu Ziqiang asked anxiously: "Captain, what should we do? Should we evacuate this place or hold our ground?"

Chu Yunfei gritted his teeth and said firmly: "If you don't want to leave, why should you leave? I admit that Cao Geng's strength is extraordinary, but no matter how powerful he is, he dare not easily destroy our alliance against the demons."

Indeed, Cao Geng's actions were too extreme. If Chu Yunfei retreated because of this, wouldn't it seem that he was afraid of Cao Geng?

As the head of a regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, how could he be afraid of a battalion commander in a remote area?

How could he, Chu Yunfei, lose his dignity?

How could Cao Geng know that his reputation had lost its former effectiveness at this moment? He drove the magic-driven chariot, rumbling through a day and night. Finally, at dawn the next day, he arrived at the magnificent Cao's castle.

There is still a small team of soldiers stationed in the castle.

When Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and others saw the magic muskets in their hands, their blood boiled immediately.

They had long heard that the weapons used by the warriors under Cao Geng were unique, and now they finally had the opportunity to experience them for themselves.

This is definitely an opportunity not to be missed!

Zhang Dabiao jumped off his mount and asked the soldier guarding the castle entrance: "Brother, can you let me see the magic musket in your hand?"

Although the soldier did not know Zhang Dabiao, he knew that he was the chief wise man of the Lone Wolf Group, so he respectfully handed the magic musket to him.

Zhang Dabiao took the magic musket and felt that it was extremely heavy.

"This musket is really heavy! It feels great in the hand."

Sun Desheng also took the staff from a soldier, savored it carefully in his hand, and asked: "Brother, it is rumored that this staff can cast magic continuously, is it true?"

The soldier nodded quickly in confirmation.

Sun Desheng and Zhang Dabiao looked at each other.

"Why not find a place and test it yourself?"

The two hit it off immediately and let the soldiers lead them, and soon they arrived at the magic training ground.

Sun Desheng raised his staff, aimed at the target in front of him, and fired a series of flaming balls continuously.

"Oh my god! This staff is truly extraordinary! If our Dragon Knights were equipped with it, their combat effectiveness would surely soar!"

Zhang Dabiao also released several flaming balls, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "You are right, if we equip our Dragon Knight Battalion with these, our battalion's combat effectiveness will definitely be improved by several levels!"

After hearing this, Sun Desheng was quite unhappy. This precious magic weapon was already scarce. If all of them were given to the First Battalion, wouldn't their Dragon Knights return empty-handed?

The number of people in the First Battalion now approaches four to five thousand!

Sun Desheng said quickly: "No, we must give priority to equipping our Dragon Knights, so that our combat effectiveness will be stronger."

At this time, you must never give in, even to your best brothers.

Zhang Dabiao hurriedly defended himself: "No, your Dragon Knights are using the Dragon Slaying Giant Sword. It would be a waste to give this magic weapon to you."

"You are talking nonsense. We must give priority to our Dragon Knights..."

"No, we must give priority to our First Battalion..."

The two sides exchanged words and the argument ended in an instant.

The soldiers looked at each other in disbelief.

It is unbelievable that these two respected leaders would argue over a staff...

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt the fluctuations of magical elements, and the light flickered like stars, leading them to gallop forward with Cao Geng.

Before their eyes, a heated argument was unfolding, causing the two men to shake their heads and sigh.

Li Yunlong strode forward, his majestic voice resounding like thunder: "Shut up! This is so ugly, how can it be tolerated? Who ever said that our independent army needs to be equipped with such a staff?"

Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng were stunned and speechless. Indeed, no one had mentioned this matter, but they were the first to argue.

Li Yunlong took the staff, looked at the target in front of him with a sharp gaze, and released a series of dazzling fireballs.

"It's a miraculous skill, it's really a treasure!"

Although Li Yunlong had seen this staff during the previous attack on Phantom Castle, he had never tried it himself.

Only by experiencing it today can you realize how powerful it is.

Zhao Gang was eager to try it out. He took the staff and performed it, feeling a sense of satisfaction.

"We must have it, Lao Li! An independent army must have this kind of staff."

Li Yunlong pulled Cao Geng over and asked anxiously, "Boy, where did this treasure come from?"

Cao Geng replied, "Sir, the last time the brigade commander purchased 3,000 rifles, the transaction was made through me. Whether we can get more depends entirely on the commander's ability."

"Is there really such a thing?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and Zhao Gang and others also had fiery eyes.

Li Yunlong said in a deep voice: "We will leave tomorrow. Even if you have to beg for mercy, you must bring back a few items."

At dawn the next day, Li Yunlong got up early and shouted outside the door: "Monk, go and inform Cao Geng that we are about to set off."

"As ordered."

Monk Wei left happily and went to look for Cao Geng.

Under the midday sun, they drove the magic carriage through Luyang City and entered the sturdy fortress where Brigade Commander Chen was stationed.

As soon as the carriage entered the fortress, it was stopped by several people.

Where do these figures come from?

Li Yunlong hurriedly shouted: "Cao Geng, stop."

Jumping off the carriage, Li Yunlong laughed heartily and said, "Old Ding, Old Kong, Old Cheng, why do we meet here?"

The three of them greeted each other and the four of them hugged each other tightly.

Ding Wei pushed everyone aside and faced Li Yunlong: "Old Li, Old Li, you are the only one with extraordinary talent. When you travel, you have a magic carriage to travel with waiters accompanying you, just like an aristocrat! Tell me, are you envious?"

Kong Jie teased, "Old Ding, who is Li Yunlong? Don't you know? He is doing this to show off. He wants to show that his life is better than ours. Even if we envy him, there is nothing we can do."

The head of the 722nd Regiment, Cheng Shifa, also known as Blind Cheng, also joked: "So what? If you have the ability, go to the enemy camp and seize the magic carriage! Li Yunlong is indeed extraordinary. We can only envy him, there is no other way."

Li Yunlong was so embarrassed by their ridicule that he said angrily, "You are so cunning, shut up! Don't think I don't know. You acted in secret, afraid that others would know."

"I, Li Yunlong, am different from you. I always uphold justice and am willing to share the treasures I obtain with everyone. What do you think?"

"Tsk, this kid is mocking us! My two old friends, don't you think this kid should be taught a lesson? Let's teach him a lesson together. Do you have any objection?"

"I have no objection, absolutely no objection. He must learn this lesson."

When Li Yunlong saw this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, one after another, let me see if you have improved. You are shouting so loudly."
