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

With the monks from the third battalion and Cao Geng working together inside and outside, they launched a fierce offensive against the Japanese invaders in Ning'an Immortal City, and they actually won a great victory!

And the victory was achieved under conditions of huge disparity in strength!

At this moment, Kong Jie couldn't help but gasp when he saw that everyone's faces were filled with joy and there was no surprise at all.

Obviously, the monks in the third camp had long been accustomed to Cao Geng's ability to create miracles.

In the entire Third Battalion, only Kong Jie was like a frog in a well, and was shocked by Cao Geng's ability to repeatedly create miracles.

Kong Jie understood that until this moment, he still underestimated Cao Geng's strength.

So, where is the limit of Cao Geng’s strength?

Kong Jie felt that Cao Geng was increasingly unfathomable.

however,

Just as Kong Jie was privately shocked by the battle record created by Cao Geng and the three battalions of monks, the news that Ning'an Immortal City fell into Cao Geng's hands also quietly spread.

The first to learn of this information were undoubtedly the forces in Taiyuan.

After all, the Ning'an Fairy City, which had been garrisoned by the Japanese invaders for many years, was conquered by a team of less than 2,000 people in just six hours.

Moreover, they were captured even when the Netherworld Training Camp led by Yamamoto Ikki was stationed there.

Yoshio Shinozuka was so shocked and angry about this unexpected turn of events that he was beyond words.

"Ning'an Immortal City was lost? Which group of cultivators did it?"

......

To be honest, six hours ago, Shinozuka Yoshio had just communicated with Yamamoto Ikki through spiritual communication. At that time, he still believed that Heian Xian County, with Yamamoto Ikki in charge, was absolutely impregnable.

But he never expected that reality would hit him hard so quickly.

Within six hours, a complete army of immortal soldiers and the Ping'an Immortal County where Yamamoto Ikki's elite cultivation camp was located were conquered by the enemy in one fell swoop.

The invading enemy has at least mobilized the strength of an elite division, right?

However, what was strange was that in order to ensure that the lesser-level demons who were attacking the lower-level villages would not dare to come back to help, Cao Geng did not deliberately hide his identity.

Therefore, the news that Cao Geng had captured Ping'anxian County quickly reached the ears of Yoshio Shinozuka.

"Reporting to Mr. Xiaozuka, the invading enemy is about 2,000 monks from the Eighth Route Army. They should be the strength of one of the reinforced regiments. The specific regiment number has yet to be ascertained. But we have learned that the enemy leader is named Cao Geng."

The monks from the intelligence camp reported back.

"Two thousand monks, Cao Geng?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was stunned for a moment.

The name of the battalion commander of the third battalion of the New First Regiment stationed in Xiaweidi Village came to his mind.

However, this should just be the same name, right?

You must know that he had previously carefully investigated the situation of the battalion commander of the third battalion of the New First Regiment. Even though the New First Regiment has been dispersed until now, he has only recruited more than a thousand disciples.

At this moment, Xiaweidi Village was still heavily surrounded by the forces of a legion under his command.

The Eighth Route Army that captured Ping'an Xian County actually had two thousand monks.

Such strength is enough to rival any reinforced regiment in the Eighth Route Army.

How could it be just Cao Geng from the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment?

He must be the commander of a reinforced regiment in the Eighth Route Army!

At this point, Yoshio Shinozuka had already made up his mind.

In addition, he was also extremely shocked that a reinforced group of 2,000 monks could actually conquer Heian County, which was defended by a regiment of the Japanese army.

You should know that there are more than 3,000 Japanese troops stationed in Heianxian County.

Under the protection of such a garrison force of more than 3,000 monks, with the support of his capable general Yamamoto Ikki and his entire elite training team, how could their Ping'an Xian County be defeated by 2,000 Eighth Route Army monks?

Is the fighting capacity of the defenders of Ping'anxian County so weak?

"How is Yamamoto Ikki doing?"

Although he found this achievement unbelievable in his heart and was filled with anger at the "low combat effectiveness of the Japanese garrison in Heian County", it was now an indisputable fact that Yoshio Shinozuka could not contact Heian County.

Rather than being immersed in his anger at his own men for being "wasted combat effectiveness of the Japanese troops stationed in Heiansen County", he was more concerned about Yamamoto Ikki's situation.

So the monk from the intelligence camp replied: "Master Yamamoto Ikki's current whereabouts are unknown..."

Their intelligence department did not find any trace of Yamamoto Ikki.

After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka's face suddenly turned gloomy.

In any case, Yamamoto Kazuki is always a capable general in the hands of Yoshio Shinozuka.

Now Yamamoto Ikki's life or death is uncertain, and the entire Ping'anxian County has been seized by a reinforced regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio naturally couldn't tolerate all this...

"Convey the order. From this moment on, order the First Monk Corps that is still outside of the Lower Wei Ling Valley to gather their troops and march quickly to support Jing'an Immortal City!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Zhu Yi Nan immediately mobilized the Japanese soldiers who were besieging Cao Geng's three defensive formations in Xiawei Ling Valley.

There was nothing they could do. Now, under his previous orders, almost all of the Japanese cultivators in the entire northern Youyan area were devoted to tracking down the mysterious group of cultivators that had destroyed the Zhengtai Spiritual Vein and killed more than 200 high-level cultivators observing the battle.

At this time, the only forces that could be dispatched to support Jing'an Fairy City were the First Monk Corps, which had just arrived in Youyan in the northern border and followed his orders to capture the three defensive formations of Weiling Valley.

In order to save the life of his disciple Yamamoto Ikki, Xuzhu Yinan resolutely decided to give up on seizing the three defensive formations of Wei Ling Valley for the time being.

"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the Japanese soldiers in the intelligence company were about to respond.

However, at this moment, Xu Zhu Yi Nan suddenly noticed a chaotic atmosphere coming from the direction of the intelligence company. Then, the Japanese soldiers there brought another piece of news:

"Marshal, I have some unfortunate news. At the same time that the defense of Jing'an Immortal City was lost, the Huairong Immortal Realm near Jing'an Immortal City has been attacked by the main force of the Jinsui League."

"The current situation is that the First Monk Corps outside of the Lower Wei Ling Valley is closer to the Huairong Immortal Domain and a little further away from the Jing'an Immortal City. Do we really need to dispatch the First Monk Corps to Jing'an Immortal City?"

The Japanese soldiers from the intelligence company couldn't help but ask hesitantly.

In fact, in the terrain pattern of the entire Northern Territory Youyan, for their Japanese cultivation forces, the strategic value of Huairong Immortal Domain is obviously far superior to Jing'an Immortal City. After all, Jing'an Immortal City is just a transit hub for them to transport spiritual materials, while behind Huairong Immortal Domain is the Zhengtai spiritual vein channel that is crucial for their transportation of spiritual materials.

If the Jinsui League launches a fierce attack on Huairong Fairyland this time, once Huairong Fairyland falls, I am afraid that the important lifeline of their Japanese cultivation forces for supplying spiritual materials will also fall into the hands of the Jinsui League.

Although Cao Geng and others once destroyed the Zhengtai spiritual vein, compared with the occasional damage of the Zhengtai spiritual vein, the entire spiritual vein node was guarded by the Jinsui Alliance Army, which undoubtedly posed a greater threat to their Japanese forces.

At present, the only one that can mobilize a large number of troops in Youyan in the northern border is the First Monks Corps outside the Xiawei Linggu.

It is undoubtedly a difficult decision for their Japanese cultivator forces to decide whether to send the First Monk Corps to support Jing'an Immortal City or to support Huairong Immortal Realm.
