On the morning of the second day of the coalition's crusade against the Land of Wind, the 60,000-strong army of Sand Hidden Village finally assembled in a large city in the east.

Not only is the city rich in resources, but it is also located in the eastern transportation center, and the high-level officials of the Sand Hide deduced that this was a necessary place for the coalition forces, so they decided that this place was the place for a decisive battle.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the shimmering metallic Tianxing Fortress really came in the morning sun.

Last night, the coalition forces did not stop for a moment, driving the fortress to take turns sweeping the east, and dozens of towns were destroyed overnight, and nearly half of the eastern part of the entire Wind Country was reduced to rubble.

In the main hall of the Tianxing Fortress, the high-ranking members of the coalition army who had rested all night gathered again, and through the screen in the crystal pillar, everyone took in the 60,000 sand ninjas lurking in the city.

"It looks like Sand Hide is finally going to have a decisive battle with us." Rope tree looked at the scene in the light screen and smiled lightly.

Tsunade frowned and said, "They didn't choose to go out of the city to fight, but ambushed the 60,000 army in the city, do they want to sneak attack?"

Orochimaru said with a gloomy face: "I'm afraid it's not just that, they want to fight in the streets of the city and use the geographical advantage to consume our strength." ”

Jilai was a little surprised and said, "Street fighting with us? Do they not care about the safety of civilians?"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people in this big city, and if they mix in with the civilians and carry out a sneak attack, it will cause us a lot of trouble." The Uchiha patriarch said with a sneer, "The best solution is to slaughter the city and wipe out the sand shinobi along with the civilians. ”

"This ......" Some of the high-ranking people present couldn't help frowning, the massacre of civilians rarely happens in the ninja war, once this opening is opened, the enemies of Konoha can retaliate against the Fire Country in the same way in the future. And the two countries will also form irreconcilable hatred because of this.

However, some of the people present did not have the slightest scruples, and saw Hanzo say with a firm face: "My Rain Country has long been fighting against the Wind Country, and I ask my lord to allow me to lead the Rain Shinobi to fight to the death against the Sand Shinobi alone, and it will never affect Konoha's reputation." ”

The Konoha executives present were all happy when they saw Hanzo take the initiative to ask for his life, and it was great that Yunin was willing to take the lead.

After Rope Tree took a deep look at Hanzo, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency Hanzo's words are wrong, the Land of Rain and Konoha are both allies, and they should advance and retreat together, how can there be any reason for you to fight a decisive battle with Sand Shinobi alone?"

Besides, why do we have to engage in street fighting with the enemy? Now that the fortress has enough energy, with the power of a laser cannon, it only takes one salvo to destroy the city on the ground, and there is no need to risk the warriors. ”

Hanzo actually didn't want Yu Shinobi to be cannon fodder in vain, and it was also a strategy to retreat from asking for orders just now, but now he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Rope Tree's answer, and said with a touched face on the surface: "My lord is so considerate of his subordinates, he is worthy of the name of Skywalker." ”

Rope Tree waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Your Excellency has spoken. However, the destruction of towns and cities with laser cannons can be victorious, but the massacre of civilians is inhumane.

We are righteous men who crusade against evil, and we must never do such a cruel thing! ”

The Konoha high-level officials present saw the righteous appearance of the rope tree, and their hearts felt awkward, and the previous act of destroying the town and capturing civilians was not linked to justice, right?

In fact, the reason why Rope Tree is unwilling to use laser cannons to achieve victory is certainly not because of justice.

Under the volley of 10,000 cannons, it was very refreshing to destroy the city along with the Sand Hidden army, but the results after that were not very good for Konoha .

Konoha's main purpose in waging this war is to defeat the Wind Nation and force them to surrender, not to really destroy the entire Wind Country.

If the sand shinobi were killed along with hundreds of thousands of civilians, the country would be in chaos and would not die with Konoha, so that Konoha would not only get no benefit, but would have one more troublesome enemy.

Therefore, it is necessary to let the sand shinobi have enough power to protect themselves, so as not to be taken advantage of by other countries after the war.

Of course, the coalition high-level leaders present did not think as deeply as the rope tree, and in most people's opinion, as long as they won the victory, they were undoubtedly the best opportunity.

"Lord Rope Tree, Sand Shinobi is willing to fight a decisive battle with us, it is a good opportunity to quickly win the war, wouldn't it be a pity to miss it like this?" Patriarch Hinata asked with a frown.

The other main battle factions also nodded in agreement.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Rope Tree explained confidently, "What Patriarch Hinata said is certainly very reasonable, but have you ever thought that it is necessary for us to hurry up and end this war as soon as possible?

Now we have Skywalk Fortress as a mobile base, and we have an all-round advantage in all three aspects: mobility, defense, and logistics.

In one day and one night, dozens of cities were connected, and a large amount of food and people were obtained.

On the other hand, in the country of winds, the economy is depressed and there is a shortage of houses, and the whole country is counting on the autumn harvest to tide over the food shortage.

Therefore, as long as we destroy the towns and harvest the grain as we did before, the fighting spirit of the Land of the Wind will gradually crumble, and sooner or later we will be victorious. A decisive battle with them will provoke the enemy's will to resist. ”

The high-level leaders of the coalition army nodded abruptly after being reminded by the rope tree, according to their previous experience, the guest army is of course the best to fight quickly, but after having the Tianxing Fortress, the enemy's home advantage has become a disadvantage, and in this case, there is naturally no need to fight the opponent. The most advantageous option is to force the other side to surrender by encroachment.

"Rope-sama, what should we do next?" The leader of the Air Force, who had not interjected, asked at this time.

Rope Shu said with a smile on his face: "Since Sha Yin wants to defend it, then let them stay here."

Let's skip the city and head to the next target, and when the surrounding towns are destroyed, we can trap them in this lonely city! ”

"Obey your lordship!" The top brass of the coalition replied in unison.

Soon after, the Skywalker Fortress restarted, heading for its next target to the southwest.

The sand ninja and civilians in the ground city, who were originally on full alert, saw the terrifying fortress hovering in the air for a while, and then went away again, but they didn't know why they looked at each other on the ground.

Soon the civilians in the city burst into cheers, believing that the enemy had been frightened back by the army of the sand and that their homes would not be destroyed by the fire, which was of course a good thing.

However, the sand ninja in the city knew that things were not so simple, especially the high-level Sand Hide, after they saw the fortress fly away, instead of the slightest joy, their faces became more solemn.
