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

In the ancient temple, Zhao Gang met Cao Geng at the corner.

"Congratulations to Commander Cao for another brilliant victory and boosting the people's fighting spirit!"

Cao Geng waved his hand and said, "It's just luck! It's just luck!"

Zhao Gang stopped talking and said bluntly: "Let's not waste any more time. I came here today to tell you that our army will soon move to Taiyue!"

Cao Geng knew why the Lone Wolf Group chose to go to Taiyue, but this was an unavoidable choice. This land was no longer large enough to accommodate the growing 358th Legion and the Lone Wolf Group. The coexistence of the two reinforced legions left too little room for movement.

The 358th Legion has now established a trade caravan, and it is inconvenient to travel to the border areas and migrate!

If the 358th Legion does not leave, the Lone Wolf Regiment will have to move.

Cao Geng responded apologetically: "So fast?"

"Not any more. If it weren't for an unfinished business, we should have left long ago. I came here today to discuss this matter with you!"

"Oh, what's that?"

……

In the mysterious world of Azreal, Li Tailong, a warrior of the Orcish tribe, a few days ago set up an ambush in the Misty Path and snatched a rare magic crystal from the demon.

Today, Monk Wei, the tribe's strong shield, was stationed outside the stone gate, while Li Tailong was leisurely chewing magic peanuts and sipping the unique magic beer beside the blazing campfire.

Just as Li Tailong was intoxicated by this brief tranquility, a loud shout came from outside the door: "Chief!"

Li Tailong was startled. How could Zhao Gang, his deputy, come back so suddenly? Didn't he go to look for the legendary artifact?

Before Li Tailong could hide the peanuts and the wine flask, Zhao Gang had already walked into the room with a stern face: "Don't hide it, I saw it all. Let me ask you, I just left and you started to enjoy it, how do you want me to evaluate you?"

Li Tailong realized that he couldn't hide it, so he generously put the wine and peanuts back to their original places: "I know you're coming back today, so I specially prepared these to celebrate!"

"Don't talk to me about this! Come on, pour me a drink. I've been running around in the frost dragon's territory and I'm almost frozen into an ice sculpture!" Zhao Gang ordered.

"You're right. On cold days, we should warm ourselves up with strong liquor!" Li Tailong quickly filled Zhao Gang's glass. To avoid talking about alcohol, he quickly changed the focus of the conversation: "Cao Geng performed well in this battle and wiped out an army of demons in one fell swoop. He was really brave and fearless!"

Zhao Gang raised his glass and said, "Haven't you always looked down on Cao Geng's tactics? Now you finally see his strength!"

Li Tailong put down his wine glass and said, "Don't get me wrong. I have always had doubts about Cao Geng's tactics! If I had his artifacts, a legion would be nothing. Even an entire division of demons would be easy for me to deal with!"

"You are just bragging! An entire division? Do you really think you are the reincarnation of the legendary Lord of War?"

"Otherwise, you can ask Cao Geng to try my 358 tribe and see if I can capture Taiyal City. You can even write my name backwards!"

"The reason why his 358 tribe can have those powerful weapons is all because of the magic stones he earned through adventures. Do you have the ability to earn resources like him and maintain the tribe's consumption? You don't even know the most basic magic runes, and you still want to learn to write magic scrolls to make money? You'd better save your energy!"

"you……"

It's fine to let Li Tailong fight, but to let him write magic scrolls to make money? It's better to let him face the judgment of the dragon directly!

"Okay, stop exaggerating. We have something important to discuss today!"

Li Tailong immediately sat up straight: "What's the matter?"

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago about our garrison transfer? The higher-ups have officially decided to respect your wishes and have the Duli tribe go to the Taiyue Mountains to assist the 386th Brigade in seizing the Xiyuan Land!"

"That's great. I can finally swing my sword and fight again. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would go crazy in this endless waiting."

"But before we set off, we were assigned a mission!"

"What mission?"

"We have to put on a good show with the 358th tribe and Cao Geng! We must create a conflict with the 358th tribe, then pretend to be defeated by them, forcing our tribe to move to the stronghold of the Taiyue Mountains!"

"What? The 358 tribe can defeat our Duli tribe? How is that possible? I don't accept it!"

It seemed as if Zhao Gang had anticipated Li Tailong's reaction.

He explained: "The Supreme Command means that since we are leaving anyway, we should help Cao Geng before we leave. Now Cao Geng is under the shadow of the magical beast, and Jiang Daxian is increasingly wary of him. Letting him break with us publicly and highlight his determination to fight against the dark forces may alleviate his predicament. This is for the benefit of the entire alliance!"

"Then there's no need to let the independent regiment do this dirty work. Yes, Kong Erlangzi is the right guy for the job. At worst, there's still Ding Wei! I, Old Li, can't let my reputation be damaged by this!"

Is your reputation, Mr. Li, more precious than that of others?

Zhao Gang shook his head gently: "Are you really unwilling?"

"I will never do such a thing. I, Li Tailong, will never do such a thing."

"Well, then! I will report to my superiors and tell them that you, Li Tailong, are unwilling to accept this mission. We can only ask Captain Kong and Captain Ding for help. It's a pity that the two thousand magic guns will only be taken away by the New Second Regiment!"

Zhao Gang stood up and prepared to leave.

When Li Tailong heard about the two thousand magic guns, he immediately became alert. He quickly shouted, "Wait, Lao Zhao, you just mentioned two thousand magic guns. Explain clearly!"

Zhao Gang pretended to be surprised: "Didn't I make it clear? Oh, look at my memory. The thing is, I have discussed it with Cao Geng. In order to thank the Independent Regiment for helping him stage the drama against darkness, he is willing to give 2,000 Type 38 magic rifles, 15 offset shooters, and two heavy machine guns as a thank you gift. But since you, Old Li, don't like it, then I have to ask Captain Kong to act in this drama with him!"

Li Tailong quickly reached out and grabbed Zhao Gang's arm.

He said hurriedly, "I am willing. Who said I am willing? I love acting the most. I am not boasting, but no one in this area can match my acting skills. Yes, a drama actor, that's it. If I hadn't joined the army, I might have become a star in the drama world! With my looks and acting skills, I am definitely the protagonist!"

Zhao Gang pretended to be surprised: "Didn't you, Old Li, say that you couldn't afford to lose this person?"

Li Tailong shook his head quickly: "It's not embarrassing! It's not embarrassing. Hey, I already have two thousand magic guns, why do I need this face!"

Damn, two thousand Type 38 magic rifles.

Not to mention acting, I would even give it to you even if it means I, Li Tailong, would lose my head!

What does face matter?

Where can I find two thousand magic gun incense sticks?

Besides, I, Li Tailong, am thick-skinned and don’t care at all!

Zhao Gang responded with a smile: "If Lao Li feels ashamed, then don't force it!"

Li Tailong immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, saying solemnly: "No force! Absolutely no force! When will Cao Geng deliver the two thousand magic guns?"

"He still needs some time to cover up the loss records of the armory. But it will be delivered soon! Now let's talk about the details of the performance. According to the idea of ​​Cao Geng and I, it is like this..."

After listening to Zhao Gang's plan, Li Tailong sighed, "According to your plan, I, Old Li, will lose all my face! Forget it, for those weapons, I will risk my face. When Cao Geng is ready, notify me and I will accompany him to put on a wonderful show!"

"Ok!"
