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

Three high-ranking officials of the dark demon clan were detained in front of the battle line and faced Cao Geng.

Cao Geng continued to give orders: "Zheng Xiong, Cao Muyan, there is no need to leave the car, stay inside and wait for my signal. When the time comes, immediately cast magic to subdue the captain."

"Yes, sir."

The two then set up a magic circle on the roof of the car and used mysterious magic to search for the dark demons ahead and lock on the captain's position.

Cao Geng stepped off the dragon carriage and walked behind the dark demon strategist.

The dark demons in front saw this and immediately shouted a warning.

"Evil spirits, retreat and release our people immediately. Otherwise, you will be reduced to ashes."

Damn the dark demons.

Tang Long shouted in the dark demon language: "Evil spirits, retreat. Your strategists and captains have been controlled by us. Put down your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, the lives of your strategists will be in danger."

The dark demons on the opposite side argued: "Evil spirits, retreat. I don't know who has the plan, but you have one moment to release my people. Otherwise, we will strike you with thunder."

Tang Long and the others were stunned. These dark demons didn't know the high-ranking officials? What should they do?

Cao Geng saw this and shouted angrily: "Call your captain to show up, otherwise, you will be turned into dust."

After he finished speaking, Cao Geng pointed his staff directly at the counselor's head.

The counselor was horrified when he heard this and hurriedly shouted, "Okamoto, what should we do? Tell me quickly."

Captain Okamoto looked pale.

Cao Geng was surprised and tapped his adviser's forehead lightly.

"Why did the evil spirits retreat?"

The Dark Demon Clan strategist hurriedly explained: "Captain Matsui here is a direct subordinate of Captain Okamoto. My orders may not work, but no one dares to disobey Captain Okamoto's orders."

"Oh! Very good..."

Cao Geng was delighted to hear this.

He looked at the two captains and asked, "Tell me, who is Okamoto?"

Captain Maeda quickly pointed out: "That's him, that's the man."

"hehe……"

 …

Cao Geng snorted lightly and used the staff in his hand to pull Captain Okamoto, whose face was as dark as the night, in front of him.

He placed his staff against his forehead and said in a low voice, "Captain Okamoto, announce the decree! All of you are ordered to welcome us into the city, including the people in the artillery tower. Do not disobey."

Captain Okamoto looked determined and replied, "If you promise, can we go there and save our people?"

"Bang……"

“Aaaaaaa…”

The tip of Cao Geng's staff moved slightly, and suddenly a flash of purple light appeared.

The spell hit Captain Okamoto's left arm directly, causing him to scream in pain.

"Oh, it was an accident. Did you announce it?"

Cao Geng raised his staff again and asked.

Captain Okamoto did not respond, but just groaned and struggled on the spot.

"Bang……"

“Aaaaaaa…”

Cao Geng's magic wand flashed again, and this time, it hit Captain Okamoto's right arm.

Captain Okamoto was in so much pain that he wailed loudly.

The Demon Chief of Staff and Captain Maeda saw this and felt heartbroken and broke out in cold sweat.

This guy is simply a madman.

"hehe……"

Cao Geng smiled, put the staff against his forehead again, and sneered, "No problem, I like to defeat stubborn people. I hope you can hold on for a while. When your hands are done, you still have your feet, and when your feet are done, you still have your body. Magic power is just a drop in the bucket for me. I am happy to see how long you can hold on. Whether to announce the decree or not, decide quickly."

The fat man was standing beside him, and he stretched out his nether bone claws, grabbed his injured arm tightly, and kneaded and pinched it fiercely.

Captain Okamoto's face was distorted with pain and he turned as pale as paper.

"Hehe, this little Japanese is really brave. We broke into his camp and dared to bargain. He is really a warrior! Hahahaha..."

After the fat man finished speaking, the Nether Bone Claw became even more powerful.

Captain Okamoto felt so much pain that he almost fainted.

However, this is an illusion. The fat man's torture has made him conscious and unable to escape.

"Okay, okay, I'll announce the decree. I'll announce the decree."

Captain Okamoto finally knelt down and begged for mercy.

In fact, I am helpless, the pain is unbearable, and I am unable to bear it.

The fat man let go and snorted, "Humph, how long can you hold on? You're nothing more than a coward."

He dragged him forward and said sternly, "Hurry up and announce the decree. Don't delay."

Captain Okamoto shouted, "I am Okamoto, Matsui boy, show yourself at once."

When the demons on the opposite side saw that it was the squadron leader, they immediately suppressed their arrogance.

Captain Matsui emerged from the shadows and asked, "Captain, I'm here."

Captain Okamoto shouted, "Order all your men to step out, put down their weapons, and let us pass."

"what?"

Captain Matsui was shocked.

The demons on the opposite side were equally stunned.

I never expected the squadron leader to be so cowardly.

However, how could they know what the squadron leader had experienced?

Captain Okamoto shouted angrily, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Act quickly and execute my orders immediately."

"Hi……"

Military orders were as heavy as a mountain, and Captain Matsui had no choice but to obey.

He turned around and shouted to the demons and puppets: "Put down your weapons and move forward."

The demon was unwilling and walked out slowly, looking unhappy.

In the dark forest, the moonlight shines through the sparse branches and leaves, flickering like an elf. Matsui, the knight endowed with power by ancient magic, obeys the call of his heart and orders his soldiers to put down the magic stones and daggers in their hands and throw them all into the deep magic lake.

Afterwards, they stood in a neat row on the road surrounded by ancient trees, waiting for the decision of fate. Matsui, the former brave man, no longer had any fear in his heart.

It was the squadron leader, the mysterious wizard, who made him understand that surrender was sometimes a form of courage. He felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.

"Yoshi..." Cao Geng, a wizard from a distant country, nodded with satisfaction and called out to Song Jing in front of him, "Old friend, come here..."

Huh? Who is this old friend?

Because the distance was quite far, Matsui looked confused.

Cao Geng raised his voice again and shouted, "I'm talking about you, Mr. Matsui, come here."

what?

Matsui felt an unknown fluctuation of magical power and stood there hesitant.

Cao Geng frowned, pointed the staff in his hand at him, and said sternly: "The spell is in effect, ordering you to come, come quickly, otherwise..."

Matsui didn't dare to hesitate any longer and hurriedly trotted over.

As he got closer, his eyes widened instantly and he recognized Cao Geng and his companions.

As soon as he approached, he was tightly controlled by two powerful fighters, Fatty and Shoko, one on the left and one on the right.

Matsui immediately felt dissatisfied.

"What does this mean? Why are you detaining me?"

Cao Geng explained: "I'm sorry, old friend, but we need your help to get through this foggy forest. Let's get in the car."

At the command, everyone quickly boarded the magic-powered carriage.

"The spell is broken. What do you mean? Let me go. Let me go. You didn't keep your promise..."

Matsui roared loudly and struggled.

The fat man and Shoko took turns giving Matsui a slap in the face, which was specially designed to treat disobedience, and only then did he calm down.

The carriage rattled along the ancient road and soon arrived at the border of the forest.

Zhang Ming stuck his head out and shouted, "You sleepy elves, quickly remove the roadblocks!"

The elven guards hurried to the barricade and carefully opened a passage for them.

Cao Geng waved his staff, and the carriage sped away like an arrow and disappeared into the night.

As the car passed by, an elf captain suddenly shouted: "Quick, pick up your weapons, ride your horses and chase after them, speed up..."

The elven soldiers hurriedly picked up their weapons, jumped on their horses, and followed closely behind.

Soon, a group of cavalrymen riding unicorns followed closely.

"Haha, Fatty, we can show our strength again."

Shouko shouted excitedly, her magic bow ready in her hand, ready to release powerful magic arrows at any time.

The carriage sped through the forest, the surrounding scenery passed by like a phantom, and Matsui fell into deep thought in the carriage. He didn't understand why he was regarded as an old friend, and why he had to help these people cross this forest. However, some power in his heart told him that all this was not accidental.

Just as Song Jing was thinking, the carriage suddenly stopped. Cao Geng looked at him seriously and said, "Song Jing, there is an ancient temple ahead that can help us pass through this fog, but we need your magic key to open it."

Matsui was shocked. He did have a magic key passed down from his family, but that meant he had to trust these people. Taking a deep breath, he decided to follow his intuition. "Okay, I'll help you, but please keep me safe."

The carriage started again and drove towards the mysterious temple. When they arrived, Matsui took out the magic key inlaid with gemstones and gently inserted it into the keyhole of the temple door. The door slowly opened, and a dazzling light shot out from it, illuminating everything around.

They entered the temple and saw a huge crystal ball in the center, emitting a warm and sacred light. Cao Geng stepped forward and said to Matsui: "This is our destination. With the power of this crystal ball, we can pass through the misty forest. But we need your magical support to activate it together."

Matsui nodded, and together with Cao Geng, they reached out and touched the crystal ball. Instantly, the entire temple was surrounded by brilliant light, and the air was filled with the breath of magic. When the light gradually dissipated, they found themselves standing outside the forest, and the fog had been dispelled.

"Thank you, Matsui," Cao Geng said gratefully, "We succeeded."

Matsui smiled slightly, and deep in his heart he felt unprecedented freedom and joy. He knew that this adventure not only helped Cao Geng and others, but also gave him a new life.

From then on, Matsui formed an indissoluble bond with Cao Geng, Fatty, Shoko and others. They continued their adventures in the fantasy world, exploring unknown mysteries and writing their own legendary stories together.

Then, two mysterious crossbows powered by magic made a deafening sound.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

"Swish, swish, swish..."

The chasing elves were suddenly thrown into chaos and fell off the floating carpet.

The four elven nobles on the carriage regretted deeply why they had not ordered the casting of a protective barrier earlier.

Sure enough, the Pegasus in the front was hit by a magic arrow and fell to the ground.

The flying carriage behind almost lost control, but fortunately, nothing worse happened.

Despite this, the elves did not give up the pursuit and they chased closely from a distance, vowing to take back the stolen magic gem.

They thought to themselves that there were two elf sentry towers ahead, and if they could form a siege, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Now, Fatty and Shoko felt unprecedented pressure.

How frustrating is it to know that the Shadow Elves are following closely behind you, and you can occasionally vaguely see their ghostly mounts, but you can't reach them?

"Rat, rat, those shadows are following us, but we can't deal with them. What should we do?"

The fat man shouted.

Cao Geng slammed the brakes and stopped the carriage in the clouds.

"Tang Long, have your men dismount and set up a fog trap. Let's teach them a lesson."

"As you command. Keep an eye on these prisoners, I will personally make the arrangements."

As Tang Long spoke, he jumped off the carriage and began to carve complicated runes on the ground with a staff in hand.
