"Chapter 89: The Strongest Ninja"

A wise and understanding person does not choose, he just acts according to the light of awareness, and wherever he goes, he is right.

This unexpected encounter lasted from noon until nightfall, and the fierce rebel civilians, with weapons in their hands that could hardly be called weapons, resisted the unusually sharp swords in the hands of the counterinsurgency soldiers.

After more than four hours of hand-to-hand fighting, the number of rebel civilians dropped from more than 90,000 at the beginning of the war to less than 70,000, and more than 25,000 rebel civilians fell under the butcher's knives of the counterinsurgency soldiers and became victims of the battle.

The price paid for the counterinsurgency army, which had 45,000 soldiers, was that less than 5,000 soldiers were killed, and at least more than half of the more than 4,000 enemy troops killed in this area were caused by Nishimura Jun and his 3,000 dead soldiers, and had nothing to do with the rebel civilians.

The disproportionate casualty ratio means that on average, it takes an average of 10 rebel civilians killed in battle to successfully kill one counterinsurgency fighter, and if this drive continues, more than 90,000 rebel civilians will sooner or later be slaughtered by 45,000 counterinsurgency soldiers!

Thankfully, the heavens still favored Nishimura, or the city of Rome, as night wore on, the night blindness that almost all of the barbarian warriors had, greatly weakened the counterinsurgency fighters' combat effectiveness and allowed the rebel civilians to breathe.

If it weren't for the weak combat effectiveness of the rebel civilians, the commander of this counterinsurgency army would not have seen the night coming, and let his soldiers rush forward desperately to kill.

The purpose of this Lucy, who was raised by Gregory himself, was very clear, to crush the rabble in front of him before night fell completely, and then take advantage of the situation to cover up and annihilate the enemy army, so as to clear the way for the continuation of the march tomorrow morning.

From the beginning to the end, this Lucy warrior did not regard the counter-insurgents who opposed him as ordinary people, and in his opinion, all those who dared to take up arms to resist the counterinsurgency army were traitors who betrayed the Luxi tribe, they were all part of the rebel army, and they were the objects that must be eliminated!

The commanders of their own armies had already given orders to completely destroy the enemy forces, and the offensive of the counterinsurgency fighters became more and more sharp, and even some red-eyed counterinsurgency fighters began to break away from their comrades and rush forward regardless of the recklessness.

For these lone enemy soldiers, Nishimura Jun, who had long lost command of the rebel civilians, had to mobilize the dead soldiers scattered everywhere as much as possible and besiege them to prevent them from killing too many rebel civilians on a rampage.

At this point in the battle, Nishimura actually had the idea of retreating at night, because most of the families of the southern fighters who were sent to death had already died under the butcher's knives of the enemy soldiers, and if they continued to fight, it would only increase the casualties.

Perhaps, before the southwestern part of Luxi was included in the sphere of influence of the city of Rome, the so-called rebel people were still the people of Lucy, who had nothing to do with the city of Rome, but the southwestern part of Luxi would soon become part of the city of Rome, and the people of the rebels would be the people of the city of Rome.

Sitting back and watching 70,000 old and weak women and children who were about to become the citizens of Rome die in vain, Nishimura, who was not hard-hearted, was really unbearable; after all, at this moment, most of the old and weak women and children who had to die in the separation plan had already died, and there were very few survivors.

Now that the most crucial part of the plan has been successfully implemented, what is the point of continuing this almost one-sided battle? Nishimura, who had been fighting bloodily all afternoon, had even more thoughts of retreating at night.

Of course, this whole afternoon of bloody and fire fighting was absolutely great for Nishimura Jun, who had been at the forefront of the battle, and this kind of harvest was not only a rapid improvement in his command ability, but also a leap forward in his own strength.

As a ninja with an initial experience level of Rank 2, Nishimura Jun was no more powerful than a barbarian warrior in the realm of a junior swordsman when he first set foot in the southwest of Lu, and later, after a period of lurking assassination, his experience level was increased to Level 3.

The strength comparable to that of an intermediate swordsman, in the southwestern part of Luxi, where the elite is generally transferred to the north, is only slightly inferior to the ordinary settlement leader, and for the barbarians who believe in the respect of the strong, Nishimura Jun, who has great strength, should be superior to others.

This is the reason why when Yamashita Yoki appointed Nishimura Jun as the supreme commander of 100,000 migrants, everyone had no objections, because Nishimura's strength determined that he was qualified to serve as this commander, leading 100,000 people and 3,000 dead soldiers to move eastward.

And now, after more than four hours of bloody battles, Nishimura Jun, who has killed countless enemies, has risen his own experience level all the way from level three to level five! A ninja with an experience level of five who doesn't know how many enemies he has killed, Nishimura Jun is already the strongest ninja in Rome!

Even Naoki Yoshikawa, who was secretly planning and controlling everything, his experience level was only level four, and that was the level of strength he was able to reach after killing several settlement leaders and hundreds of barbarian noble warriors one after another.

It is no exaggeration to say that whether it is in the eyes of his own rebels or the counterinsurgency fighters on the other side, Nishimura Jun, who kills people like slaughtering chickens and dogs, is a god-like existence.

Don't underestimate the mind of the barbarian warriors, the barbarian warriors who are naturally warlike and respect the strong, and the reverence for the truly strong is not limited by the tribe, so even if Nishimura is a rebel general, the counterinsurgency fighters will still show their respect for his toughness.

It's just that the way barbarian warriors express their respect is slightly different from the way civilized countries do it, and in the Celestial Dragon Empire, when one person who is hostile to each other respects the other enough, he often betrays his original position and chooses to follow the person he respects.

But in the world of the barbarians, the way the barbarian warriors show respect for their enemies is not to betray their own tribe, but to do their best to challenge the person they respect, and in their concept, daring to challenge the strong is the true warrior's behavior!

It was precisely because of the countless counterinsurgency fighters who challenged Nishimura one after another, killing them one by one, that Nishimura Jun became stronger and stronger, and finally succeeded in advancing to the fifth level ninja who was only one step away from the saint-level ninja.

More than 100 Lucy aristocratic soldiers in the counterinsurgency army failed to kill the invincible Nishimura Jun, but made Nishimura Jun stronger and braver and braver.

When the battle lasted five and a half hours, the sky was already dark, and the commander of the counterinsurgency army, who had been unable to do anything, finally gave the order for the entire army to withdraw from the battle.

Nishimura knew in his heart that if today's battle had not been supported by the blood of the rebel people, I am afraid that his 100,000 migrants would have been slaughtered long ago;
