In the following days, in addition to cultivating, Rope Tree would pay attention to the information of the Sand Hidden Camp every day, but he never figured out what Sand Shinobi was looking for. However, it can be determined that the 60,000 Sand Hidden Army never left the territory of the Land of Rain.
So Rope Tree buried his doubts in his heart for the time being, thinking that he would wait until another month at most, and after defeating Sha Yin, everything would naturally fall into place.
But as time passed, Rope Tree's heart began to become more and more uneasy, and he always felt as if he had neglected an important matter.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty days passed, and seeing that the January period was approaching, the uneasiness in Rope Shu's heart became more and more serious, even to the extent that it affected his cultivation.
It stands to reason that with the continuous consumption of materials, Sha Yin, who is about to run out of food, should make a move, even if the morale collapses and is unable to counterattack, he should find a way to evacuate in advance. And no matter how stupid the high-level of Shayin is, they won't let the 60,000 army stay in the Land of Rain and starve to death, right?
However, on the other side, Sagakure still insists on sending a large number of men to roam the ruins around the camp to this day. What are they looking for, even if they don't even want their lives?
Distraught, Rope Tree summoned Barang again.
"Did Sand Yin try to retreat during this time?" When Rope saw Balang approaching the office, he immediately asked impatiently.
Ba Lang, who was originally in a relaxed mood, was puzzled by the question of the rope tree splitting his head and covering his face, but at this time, he couldn't understand why the adult who had always been calm and calm would lose his temper.
However, when it came to the information about the Sand Hidden Camp, Balang was very confident, and he replied in the affirmative tone: "Lord Kaiyu, all the Sand Ninja are haunting the ruins as usual, there is no sign of evacuation, and there is no abnormality in the Sand Hidden Camp. β
"Are you sure there are no anomalies?" Rope Tree asked with a frown after receiving Barang's assurance.
Hearing this, Balang stood up straight, and replied in a loud voice: "My subordinates are sure!" In the past few days, the Sand Hidden Ninja Army has been calm, and there has been no abnormal movement! β
"It's calm!" After receiving the confirmed answer again, Rope's face became even more ugly, "Something is wrong! It's so wrong! β
Balang asked suspiciously, "Patriarch, forgive me for being foolish. Isn't the situation very good now? Since the Sand Hidden side did not endure the movement, when their supplies were completely exhausted, we could win without giving a single soldier. β
"It's just that there is no Dongjing, which is the biggest anomaly!" Rope Tree stared at Balang with sharp eyes and said, "You are also a high-level member of the intelligence group, can't you even understand this truth?"
The supply line is cut off and there is a shortage of materials, even if the high-level Shayin does a good job of secrecy, it is impossible to hide it from everyone under his command!
Think about it, the entire 60,000 army is about to lack food and clothing, and even starve to death, and there are 110,000 troops around them staring at them.
Even the most elite troops will be fluctuating when they encounter such a desperate situation! Even if there is no mutiny, it will be passive and sabotage.
And those sand ninjas can still carry out such high-intensity patrols and searches in an orderly manner in the bleak wind and cold rain?
It's simply incredible! Could it be that all the ninjas in the sand are cold machines without emotions?"
"This ......" Balang finally understood the crux of the problem after being reminded by the rope tree, and said in a somewhat erratic tone: "But according to our intelligence, there is indeed no sign of evacuation from Shayin Village!" During this time, they did nothing but wander around the ruins every day, and they rarely even spoke! β
Rope Shu said in an affirmative tone: "A short time ago, Sha Yin suddenly expanded the patrol area, and he was still searching around in the ruins, there must be something wrong with this!"
What is in the ruins that makes them spend so much effort? Didn't you look into it afterwards?"
Barang broke out in a cold sweat and said in a sluggish tone, "This...... All that remains of the ruins is the stones and empty houses...... The corpses of civilians in the Land of Rain.
Every time Sand Shinobi passed through the ruins, they would destroy the scene in a mess, and even the ground was full of potholes, except for the disappearance of some corpses, I really didn't know what they were looking for. β
"Corpses! Sand Shinobi, who doesn't speak and has no emotions like a machine......" Rope Tree suddenly stood up, grabbed Balang by the collar violently, pulled him in front of him, and stared at Balang's eyes with murderous eyes: "Why did you only tell me about such an important matter now?" And why wasn't it mentioned in the previous information?"
Balang looked at the murderous face of the rope tree, and said with a panicked look in his eyes: "I...... I thought the main task at the moment was to keep an eye on the sand shinobi and prevent them from escaping.
Those corpses are all civilians of the Rain Country, and they are completely worthless, and if the matter spreads, it will only arouse the hatred of the Rain Hidden Village and affect the plans of the adults.
And those corpses have already deteriorated, so they won't eat the corpses, right?
Place...... So I ......."
Rope Shu sneered and said, "So you make your own claims and hide them and don't report them?" Lest I send more men to track down the whereabouts of those corpses, and affect your merits this time? It seems that the last time the intelligence mistake of the country of the sky made you learn a "lesson"? So you learned to deceive your superiors and subordinates?"
Balang looked at the deep and cold eyes of the rope tree, as if he had completely seen through his inner thoughts.
Barang, who was told through his inner thoughts, was paralyzed as if his soul had been drained, and if it weren't for the collar being carried by the rope tree, he would have fallen to the ground at this time.
"My lord! The subordinates are fascinated by the merits, and they really shouldn't make their own claims! Please spare me this time! In the future, the subordinates will no longer dare. Balang didn't have the courage to quibble with the rope tree, but directly begged for mercy.
"Later?" Rope tree laughed angrily: "I'm afraid you won't have a future!" Do you think those corpses really don't matter?
Concealing information for your own selfish purposes, and ruining the entire battle plan of the coalition forces, even if you are not executed, you will not be able to escape the responsibility! β
"Patriarch!" When Ba Lang heard that the matter was so serious, he wailed loudly and pleaded: "For the sake of me being the patriarch of the Thousand Hands Division, you must save me!" β
"And the face to talk to me with a thousand hands?" The rope tree pushed Balang to the ground: "Once this matter spreads, the entire Thousand Hands Split Family will become the laughing stock of the dark department!" If it weren't for the sake of your dedication to doing things, I would have killed you right now!
Go! Deliver my order, immediately gather all the coalition forces, and march to the Sand Hidden camp in three minutes!
Keep your account for later! Hopefully it's still too late, and if it's too late, you'd better find yourself a nice way to die on the battlefield, and maybe even have your name engraved on the memorial monument! β
"Subordinates obey! Subordinates, let's go! Barang scrambled to his feet and sped out of the office.
"Hey! This time it may fall short! Rope tree said with a wry smile.
