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

The intelligence on Cao Geng in Yoshio Shinozuka's hands was extremely detailed. As soon as it was delivered to his residence, all the loyal monks under his command were shocked!

"Cao Geng once appeared on the battlefield during the battle of Cangyun Peak, helping Li Yunlong of the New 1st Regiment of the Eight Desolations Alliance to wipe out the Japanese Sakata tribe in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, Cao Geng joined the new group of the Eight Desolate Alliance and quickly became the leader of the third branch of the group."

"Afterwards, Li Yunlong disobeyed orders on the battlefield, and the Eight Desolate Alliance seemed to intend to punish him. However, not long after, Li Yunlong inexplicably swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao, and led the New 1st Regiment to split into three groups, each of which expanded its territory."

"Since then, the New First Group, which was originally closely connected, has been divided into three independent camps. Among them, Cao Geng, the leader of the third branch of the New First Group, led his disciples to conquer the ancient city of Huaiyi!"

"Now, Cao Geng has set up the training base of the third branch of the New First Group in Xiaweidi Village. It is rumored that he has expanded his disciples to a thousand people!"

At this point, Shinozuka Yoshio finished reading the intelligence in his hand, and his face instantly became extremely gloomy. Every piece of news about Cao Geng shocked him.

He whispered, "I never expected that he not only led a team of monks to conquer the ancient city of Huaiyi, but also that Sakata Nobutsu's death at Cangyun Peak was inextricably linked to Cao Geng?"

Sakata Nobutsu was once a loyal subordinate whom Shinozuka Yoshio valued very much. Sakata's death at Cangyun Peak was undoubtedly a heart-wrenching pain for Shinozuka Yoshio!

At that time, he only attributed this to Li Yunlong. However, he had no idea that all this was actually closely related to Cao Geng. Shinozuka Yoshio even speculated that Cao Geng's role was crucial.

Otherwise, Li Yunlong, the commander of the New 1st Regiment of the Eight Desolations Army, would not be an ordinary person.

There must be a hidden meaning behind the fact that he took a liking to Cao Geng at first sight and insisted on promoting him to be the battalion commander of the training camp.

As the commander of the Shura battlefield, Yoshio Shinozuka would never believe that there was no mysterious force at work.

"What's more, only over a month has passed, and the troops led by Cao Geng have grown to a thousand people?" Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but be shocked again.

It turned out that the information that Yoshio Shinozuka had had was fully obtained before Cao Geng led his troops to attack Yamamoto Ikki's spirit beast training camp.

During this time, they have been searching for more secret information about Cao Geng.

Therefore, the Japanese army did not have a clear idea of ​​the actual strength of Cao Geng's Third Training Camp.

In addition, there was no traitor in the third training camp under Cao Geng to leak secrets, so the information that Yoshio Shinozuka received about the specific strength of Cao Geng's camp could only be a vague answer.

Even so, he found it difficult to accept this fact.

He did not pay too much attention to the New 1st Regiment's division of forces after the fierce battle in Cangyun Ridge.

What really concerned him was——

It has only been a short month since the battle of Cang Yun Ridge, but the Third Training Battalion of the New 1st Regiment led by Cao Geng has expanded to the strength level of an entire regiment of the Eight Desolate Army!

That’s thousands of monks!

However, it took them just over a month to recruit them.

What level of Chinese general is Cao Geng?

Yoshio Shinozuka was secretly amazed.

There is no doubt that Cao Geng was good at fighting.

He displayed his prowess repeatedly in the Battle of Cangyun Ridge and the Battle of Huaiyi City. Such brilliant achievements have proved that Cao Geng is indeed brave and good at fighting.

In this regard, he is even better than some generals above the Eight Desolations Legion level.

As for the fact that Cao Geng was good at planning and strategizing, there is no doubt about that either.

Because in just one month after the new regiment was divided, he had expanded the strength of the entire battalion to about a thousand people!

It is really hard to predict how large a team of practitioners Cao Geng can gather in the future.

Thinking of this, he felt even more afraid of the potential threat posed by Cao Geng.

However, no matter how powerful Cao Geng's ability is, in the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka, there are still limits.

The next moment, he decisively waved his hand to signal the signalman beside him to convey the order:

"Didn't we plan to dispatch a brigade to support Huairong City? Their marching route should be approaching Huairong City by now, right?"

"Immediately give orders to have them turn to Xiaweidi Village before assisting the Huairong City defenders to repel the Jinsui Army. They must eliminate the New 1st Regiment Cao Geng's unit that is showing off its might there!"

"After they successfully clear out Cao Geng's garrison, we will continue to support Huairong City!"

In fact, Yoshio Shinozuka paid great attention to Cao Geng. From the beginning, he planned to mobilize a brigade of trained soldiers to deal with one of Cao Geng's training camps.

You know, during the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese army was able to defeat two divisions of the Kuomintang army with the strength of only one regiment.

And now their brigade has the strength of three regiments...

In this Seventh Heaven, the cultivation base of a demon brigade is incomparable even if the disciples of the six immortal peaks of Dao Sect gather together. However, he, the Heavenly Demon Lord Shinozuka Yoshio, plans to send the demon army of this brigade to fight against Cao Geng's cultivation camp first!

Once this decision is leaked out, all the forces from all walks of life will be dumbfounded, thinking that Shinozuka Yoshio has become possessed by a demon, daring to use the power of a giant elephant to deal with tiny flying insects.

However, Shinozuka Yoshio has always been known for his skill in using troops and his carefulness. In his mind, Cao Geng is definitely not a weakling. If this battle can allow his Sun and Moon Demon Army to eliminate Cao Geng, a newcomer among the Eight Desolate Monks, he is willing to do so even if it costs a great deal.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes revealed a mixture of shock and relief. Fortunately, he had obtained information about Cao Geng before he emerged.

"Yes, sir!" The Xiuzhen messenger who had delivered information about Cao Geng on behalf of Shinozuka Yoshio responded immediately and quickly retreated.

At this time, Shinozuka Yoshio gently put down the secret book in his hand that recorded Cao Geng's cultivation status in front of the desk. Under it, there was also a piece of information - the news that Yamamoto's special attack team had been rebuilt.

After seeing this information, a hint of sarcasm appeared on Shinozuka Yoshio's lips: Even if Cao Geng, the hidden dragon of the Eight Desolate Cultivation World, is so powerful, can he be more powerful than the world-destroying evil spirit special attack team led by his confidant, Yamamoto Ikki?

Although I admit that Cao Geng has great potential, in front of a dying person...

"Forget it." Shinozuka Yoshio shook his head, instantly erasing the image of Cao Geng, the hidden dragon of the Eight Desolations, from his mind. Now, the World-Destroying Evil Spirit Special Forces led by Yamamoto Ikki have been reorganized. Therefore, before the upcoming third wave of the dragnet, he will definitely let the Sun and Moon Demon Army leaders from all over the country witness with their own eyes how his World-Destroying Evil Spirit Special Forces are superior to the others.

In this way, the Sun and Moon Demon Clan, with Yoshio Shinozuka as the core, can quickly launch a special operations strategy against the human world.
