Chapter 709 Declaration of war!
For love and justice... No, to maintain the order of the ninja world.
The Land of Earth, the Land of Lightning, the Land of Fire... the Land of Grass, the Land of Hot Spring, and other countries officially declared war on the 'evil' castle tower.
Yes, it was a declaration of war by the state.
The corresponding ninja villages will naturally participate in the war.
Because the ninja village is a war organization funded by the state, it is equivalent to a part of the country. When the country participates in the war, the ninja village is naturally included.
The reason sounds very legitimate.
But the actual reason is completely understood by everyone who understands.
Isn't it because the castle tower threatens the rule of these daimyo and nobles?
After driving out the nobles and bureaucrats, the development speed of the castle tower skyrocketed.
How can this be possible? .
Therefore, the daimyo and nobles had to get rid of the castle tower no matter how great the cost.
As for the major ninja villages?
The potential of the castle tower is too terrifying. They don't want the emergence of a 'sixth major ninja village' or another 'Shura of the Ninja World', so they will cooperate with the daimyo to go all out.
When the news of the declaration of war spread, it instantly caused a huge stir in the ninja world.
Because in previous ninja wars, even if the fighting was devastating, the daimyos could still gather and have fun together.
After all, no matter how many ninjas die, it will not affect them.
But once a country declares war, samurai, foot soldiers, monks... and other troops will take to the battlefield.
Shock!
If only the ninja village declared war, the impact might not be so exaggerated, but if several major countries and a group of small countries declared war at the same time, the impact would be too exaggerated.
If these countries participate in the war, it means that the ninjas will have an endless supply of logistical support.
In previous Ninja World Wars, these countries took the opportunity to stockpile supplies for sale and made a fortune. If they want to participate this time, they will naturally have to provide supplies.
No matter how much basic supplies the ninjas consume, these countries can still supply them.
The point is transportation!
In the past, no matter how much supplies there were, they were useless if they could not be transported to the front line.
The speed and transportation efficiency of horse-drawn carriages could not be increased any further. Transporting a carriage of grain to a distance of a thousand miles might require the consumption of at least ten carriages of grain.
Now, don't we have airships?
The transportation efficiency is maximized, and the number of troops that can be deployed is also maximized.
Although the airships of the major forces have low load capacity and poor quality due to differences in materials, anti-gravity arrays, chakra cores, etc., at least they have a lot of airships, so logistical supplies are really not a problem.
(The export version of the castle tower airship does not include these things!)
The coalition formed this time is headed by the three major ninja villages, supplemented by other ninja villages.
There are over 30,000 ninjas alone, the number of Kage-level warriors exceeds double digits, and the number of flying troops exceeds 100,000.
Please note that the flying troops mentioned here include those fighters who can fly, which is completely incomparable to the flying troops of the castle tower.
It's like the comparison between the fifth-generation machine and the first-generation machine before Dou Ping traveled through time.
Not on the same level at all.
In terms of momentum, the castle tower is like an isolated island in the raging sea.
Great influence.
Countless caravans and chambers of commerce were instantly cut off from the castle tower. In a word, that was it.
Don’t contact me anymore, I’m afraid the coalition forces will misunderstand me!
The top brass of the castle tower were extremely unhappy about this, but Dohei remained extremely calm.
Because he knows that businessmen value profit.
Everyone is just cooperating for the sake of interests and they are not tied together. It is normal for people to jump off the boat when they see danger.
As long as this war is over, these businessmen will naturally come back.
In contrast to the merchants, the castle tower ninjas and various troops were full of fighting spirit, all with red eyes, determined to defend the castle tower.
There were even many radicals who shouted to massacre the entire coalition forces and purify the entire ninja world.
Compared with these radicals, Tang Ping can be considered a "conservative".
Radicals!
It can be said that most of the castle tower belongs to this faction.
Because they believe in the 'will of the blazing sun', they feel that the entire ninja world is corrupt and needs them to purify everything.
It was that Tang Ping didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise he would definitely say - No, buddy, I was just talking nonsense, why did you take it seriously?
After the declaration of war, the coalition forces, which had already completed the "fire extinguishing plan", immediately rushed towards the castle tower.
The Rock Ninja and Cloud Ninja who were originally "fighting fiercely" split into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, attacking the castle tower.
Konoha also immediately sent out 5,000 ninja soldiers to attack the castle tower from the center.
And along the way, ninjas, guardian ninjas, monks, etc. from various small ninja villages will also join these three attacking forces respectively.
Each army had over 10,000 ninjas, and they were accompanied by airships and flying troops. The number of ninjas was overwhelming. It was a huge investment!
The resources consumed just to maintain such a large army are not a small amount.
Food is a small matter; the key is military supplies pills, ninja tools, etc.
Ninjas are 'money-eating beasts', unlike those foot soldiers who can be fed with just a little food and a spear.
Without sufficient logistical support, just refining chakra would make the ninja commit suicide in front of you.
After all, half of the chakra is extracted from cellular energy. Without sufficient replenishment, what is consumed is life.
Not to mention, in addition to these three ninja armies, a large number of samurai and foot soldiers are also gathering.
The daimyos naturally did not expect these troops to be able to defeat the ninjas; they were simply used to consume chakra and threaten the castle tower.
Ordinary people may not be able to fight, but they can easily destroy buildings and cities.
Once these troops attack, the castle tower will have no choice but to deal with it. Once it takes action, it will give their side a chance to attack.
cannon fodder!
Ordinary people's troops are used as cannon fodder.
At the same time, Tang Ping obtained a top-secret information through an insider.
The flying units of the three allied forces will rush into the castle tower in advance.
The mission of these flying units is to destroy everything with black oil and detonating talismans.
No one expected that these flying units could defeat the flying units of the castle tower. After all, no one was stupid and could see the gap between the two sides.
Even if the daimyo and nobles are stupid, their staff and ninjas will remind them.
So, these flying units have only one mission.
destroy!
The goal is to use our numerical advantage to prevent the flying troops on the castle tower from performing well.
Wonderful air raid tactics!
It certainly wasn't something the daimyo and nobles came up with.
It is very likely that it was formulated by Nara Shikaku.
After all, he was extremely concerned about the castle tower, so it was not surprising that he could quickly come up with such a targeted tactic.
If we don't know this information in advance, we may suffer heavy losses.
But once they know, the other party will be the one in trouble.
After the coalition forces declared war, the castle tower would naturally respond.
[For a blue and pure world, the castle tower will purify the corrupt and backward ninja world! ]
Well, this statement is very strong.
Facing the coalition forces, the castle tower not only did not seek peace or retreat, but instead classified all opponents as "corrupt and backward", even including other forces.
Head iron!
This was the common thought of all forces after hearing the castle tower's speech.
The castle tower, with only a few thousand ninjas (public information) and less than ten thousand flying troops, had no chance of winning against the coalition forces of the three major countries and a dozen small countries.
Not to mention, the leader had been seriously injured before (he deliberately leaked information in Konoha), and the troops suffered heavy losses in the attack on Mount Myoboku, which was simply adding insult to injury.
In this situation, instead of seeking peace, he insisted on fighting. What else could he be but stubborn?
Therefore, all major forces are watching how the castle tower will die.
The daimyo and nobles even issued an instruction.
No one left alive!
This lesson should be used to let people know who is the real ruler of the ninja world.
That is why the flying troops are asked to carry black oil.
If it was just an explosive tag, it would definitely be used against the ninja army and the city, but black oil is an indiscriminate attack.
Ranches, farms, orchards, etc. are all targets of attack.
Black oil!
It can not only refine airship gas, but also has many other uses.
Especially after Tang Ping's several "demonstrations", other forces also discovered the potential of this thing in war.
It doesn't work against ninjas, but it's very effective against buildings and stationary targets.
The declaration of war was made in the morning, and the flying troops arrived in the evening.
Yes, this was a long-planned 'air raid'.
The whole plan was precise and smooth. If there wasn't a 'ghost' in Tang Ping, he might not have been able to react in time after being tricked.
If we know now, we can make some arrangements in advance.
Not to mention counterattack, at least we can reduce the losses.
