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

Kong Jie said in a deep voice: "With a detachment of immortal soldiers on the side to support, the critical situation of the Japanese in Huairong City will be greatly eased! Even if we cannot completely expel the main force of the Jinsui Army, we will force them to retreat back to the boundary between Huairong and Huaiyi. This is indeed possible."

"But now, the Japanese devils have sent a huge amount of cultivation resources to Huairong City! With such a large amount of resources, it is not impossible for them to use Huairong City as a stepping stone and directly attack the five fortresses of the Jinsui Army."

As the former leader of the sect, his insight into the overall situation is still far superior to that of Wang Huaibao and others.

Perhaps after learning this information, Wang Huaibao and others simply thought that the Japanese did this to retaliate against the Jinsui Army's suppression.

However, Kong Jie sensed a hint of something unusual.

Wang Huaibao and others were all stunned.

Obviously, they had never thought of the deeper meaning.

If the Japanese really wanted to counterattack the Jinsui Army, they would not be unable to do so even without such huge resources. So why did the Japanese go to such great lengths?

If they were not targeting the main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, then what was the real purpose of transporting this huge amount of resources to Huairong City?

Everyone frowned in thought.

At this time, Cao Geng saw that the atmosphere had reached a critical point, and raised his lips slightly and said, "Is there a possibility that the enemy is about to launch a third 'Purgatory Sweep'? The Japanese devils are secretly mobilizing such a huge amount of resources under the pretext of the tense situation in Huairong City. It is hard to imagine that the purpose behind this is not a large-scale sweep!"

Indeed, food and fodder must be sent before troops move. If the Japanese really intended to launch a third "Purgatory Sweep", it would be logical for them to secretly store such a huge amount of resources.

However, after Kong Jie and others heard what Cao Geng said, their faces instantly became horrified.

"Purgatory Sweep?!"

Everyone present was shocked. No one had ever thought of this before.

Because the "Purgatory Sweep" means that in the entire northwest region of Shanxi, the Japanese devils and the troops of major Chinese forces will be involved in a bloody life-and-death duel.

Once the Japanese decide to launch a "Purgatory Sweep", it means that their war machine will start running at full speed.

In the past, when the situation was relatively stable, Cao Geng might have been able to quietly capture a Japanese city with only one battalion of troops, or even seize the logistical supplies of a Japanese brigade without making any noise.

However, once the Japanese devils' "Purgatory Sweeping" war machine is activated, all the previous achievements of Cao Geng and his Third Battalion will be eclipsed and become a thing of the past!

This will be a truly unprecedentedly brutal decisive battle!

If the Japanese devils really use the tense situation in Huairong City as an excuse to launch a "Purgatory Sweep", then the situation in the entire northwest region of Shanxi will inevitably shake North China and even the entire Chinese continent!

And in this battle, countless soldiers and civilians will pay the price with their lives.

The "Purgatory Sweep" of the Japanese devils will undoubtedly make the northwestern region of Shanxi even more cruel and ruthless, like a Shura battlefield.

The problem is that although no one present is willing to think about the connection between the actions of the Demon Wo and the "Purgatory Sweep"...

However, if those evil demons from outside the domain really take this opportunity to carry out a comprehensive cleansing of all the cultivation sects in the entire northwest of Shanxi, then for our Eight Desolate Army, the situation will undoubtedly be extremely serious!

The original strategic deployment of the Eight Desolations Army was to maintain a stable posture and accumulate strength in secret.

But the evil demon from outside the domain seemed to be gradually losing patience.

Cao Geng said slowly: "If the purpose of those evil demons is indeed to launch a large-scale cleansing, it will undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the various sects and forces in China!"

"Let's not talk about the distant ones. Let's take our three sects as an example. Previously, we have defeated the evil spirits many times with the strength of only one sect. Now, if the evil spirits take this opportunity to retaliate against our Eight Desolate Army, I am afraid that the difficulties faced by our three sects will be even more difficult!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present felt the urgency of the situation.

Perhaps, those evil demons transported such a huge amount of resources to northwest Shanxi without the intention of cleansing it up.

However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out at this moment.

Therefore, everyone on the scene must be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Otherwise, if the evil spirits really launch a cleansing in the future, they won’t even know how they will die.

Wang Huaibao asked in a low voice, "Yingzun, how should we respond according to your opinion?"

It has become Wang Huaibao's habit to look for Yingzun at critical moments.

Everyone present looked up to Cao Geng because Cao Geng had led their three clans to victory in battles time and time again, and they had already entrusted their lives and deaths to him.

At this time when the evil spirits may launch a large-scale purge, no matter what decision Cao Geng proposes, the leaders of the three veins will implement it without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Kong Jie couldn't help but be shocked.

When he was the head of the regiment, he was not able to make his generals so obedient.

However, Cao Geng actually did it.

At this moment, Kong Jie firmly believed that among these three meridians, as long as Cao Geng was in charge, it would be a tough rope that the evil demons could not cut no matter what!

Thinking of this, Kong Jie couldn't help but be stunned.

Are the three sects' disciples really so loyal to Cao Geng?

He had no doubt that if Cao Geng ordered the three disciples to go through fire and water, they would agree without hesitation.

Cao Geng did not notice the surprise on Kong Jie's face. He glanced at everyone and spoke calmly: "The Three Veins are the Three Veins of the New First Regiment! Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment, once taught us that only the brave can win when two sides meet on a narrow road! Although the great purge of evil spirits is imminent, if we sit and wait for death, we will deviate from the spirit of the Three Veins of the New First Regiment!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Geng again, and he said firmly: "Strike first!"

"Those evil demons intend to wipe out the major sects in northwest Shanxi. If they want to fight, then we will accept it! Of course, it is not wise to confront the main force of the evil demons head-on, but this does not prevent us from finding their weaknesses and doubling our efforts to attack them!"

After hearing this, all the monks present had resolute expressions and iron wills emanating from their bodies.

The battalion commander shouted, "That's absolutely true!"

Isn’t it just a life-and-death battle in the cultivation world?

Their New 1st Regiment, the Third Battalion, has experienced countless seemingly hopeless battles between immortals and demons, but they have persevered every time and finally turned the tide to win a great victory.

What we are facing this time is just a large-scale cleanup operation by the evil Japanese forces.

With them around, the Third Battalion will surely be able to reverse the situation and establish new great achievements in cultivation!

As long as Battalion Commander Cao Geng continues to lead them forward!

Seeing everyone showing such a determined look, Kong Jie, who had been observing from the side, couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring.

Cao Geng's appeal is indeed terrifying.
