Chapter 231: Occupation

The desolate and scorched land, with its soaring black clouds, has no life left.

The terrible explosion also turned the whole earth open, revealing countless shocking craters, in which Bai Jue's corpse lay in it, not a single one of which was well preserved, and there were white Jue's broken and unbearable limbs everywhere.

Thinking about it, the ground-penetrating bomb dropped by the air force of the Oni Country is powerful enough to rival those high-level and powerful escape techniques, and although Bai Jue's body is tough, it can't withstand steel, and it is not surprising that he will die in such an explosion.

After several rounds of bombing, seeing that the entire area had been covered by several rounds, the members of the Oni no Kuni Air Force who were hovering in the sky at high speed with flying ninja equipment also glanced at the tragic scene on the ground, and then withdrew their gaze, and did not look at the alliance ninja who had already been stunned outside the battlefield, and returned according to the long way.

If at first they were shocked by the terrible power of the burrowing bomb, now that they have been thrown several times, they cannot say that their hearts are completely numb when they see the shattered earth bombarded by the burrowing bomb, but they are not as moved by this scene as they were at the beginning.

I even think that this kind of bomb is much easier to use than the so-called ninjutsu.

The Oni Country Air Force units have withdrawn one after another, but the ninjas of the First Wing of the Alliance Army, who are still outside the battlefield, have not yet recovered from the shocking scene before.

It gave them a lot of headaches, and it might even take a long time to slowly uproot the white absolute who was building a military construction site underground, and as a result, in the hands of the Oni no Kuni, they didn't even survive for half an hour. They didn't even use ninjutsu, they just threw a bunch of broken copper and iron from the sky, clearing the way for the Alliance Army.

As a 'League', the Union Army should have been excited, provided that it ..... If the country of demons is really their ally.

But apparently not.

Most of the ninjas of the Alliance Army are well aware that the alliance contract signed between the Alliance Army and the Oni Country was established to deal with Akatsuki. In other words, until Akatsuki is destroyed, the Alliance will continue to cooperate with the Oni Country. After that, it's time for them to distinguish between the superior and the inferior.

In other words, the country of ghosts is also an enemy. It's just that the order of dealing with them must follow the first-come, first-served rule.

Akatsuki is the first, and the country of ghosts is the second.

Therefore, looking at the tragic traces of the battlefield ahead, the ninjas of the First Wing, including Wing Leader Darui, were extremely silent, and the gloom on their faces did not disperse for a long time, especially the fear in their eyes, which became heavier than before.

"According to the reconnaissance team's investigation, how many Bai Jue are stationed here?"

After silence, Darui asked the question.

A squadron leader came back to his senses and replied in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be about 3,000 Bai Jue."

3,000 people..... Even if the first wing can be removed, it will take a lot of manpower and time.

And the country of ghosts, with their air force, with an outrageous record of zero casualties, completed a devastating suppression of 3,000 white absolute soldiers in less than half an hour.

Even, the white rulers were slaughtered without even showing the means to resist.

"Report the matter here to the headquarters, the country of ghosts is a 'friendly army' now, but after defeating Xiao, it will be uncertain. In the face of such a penetrating blow, even if it is an earth escape technique, it is difficult to resist."

Darui waved his hand, the languid expression on his face long gone, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

The obstacles ahead were gone, but he didn't feel any joy.

The Oni Kingdom came to help them, not because of kindness, but because they needed to achieve some kind of purpose through the Alliance Army...... Although Darui didn't know what the Oni no Kuni wanted to achieve with the Alliance, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Alliance.

"Yes, Captain."

The squadron leader in charge of this area nodded, left the team, returned to the branch base to contact the intelligence department of the headquarters, and sent the photos taken earlier to the heads of the headquarters as quickly as possible.

In addition to this, what to do next,

New directives from the leaders of the coalition forces are also needed.

I believe that they will not be indifferent to what is happening here.

......

Just as the squadron leaders of the 1st Wing thought, the headquarters of the Alliance Army, which received the battle report from the front line of the Grass Country for the first time, exploded in an instant.

They were just thinking about how to quickly uproot those white exterminators and the underground military construction sites established in the Grass Country War Zone, but before the idea was born, the white absolutes who built military construction sites underground were destroyed by the Oni Country.

Placed in front of the Confederate Army, it was a smooth road.

It's just that the establishment of this smooth path has nothing to do with the alliance army, because it was the country of ghosts that swept them away.

Moreover, seeing the appearance of such a smooth road, the people at the headquarters of the Alliance Army were also shocked.

Three thousand Bai Jue, annihilated in less than half an hour, is still a Bai Jue located underground..... This kind of quick killing record, no matter how you look at it, seems very abnormal.

Generally speaking, this is something to be happy about, because the Alliance Army has reduced its strength by 3,000 Bai Jue without sacrificing, and can further advance the battle line and force it to the gate of Xiao's base camp.

But..... Now I am happy that there is a little bit of horror in it.

"Why does the country of ghosts want to help us? Is it to deter us from thinking carefully, or is it ......?"

The four generations of Thunder Shadow began to think about it.

Although what happened in the country of grass is a bit unbelievable, what is the purpose behind the country of ghosts making such a move?

The so-called alliance is not a real alliance, and it is still fighting on its own.

Three thousand Bai Jue, with the combat effectiveness of the First Wing, although they can be taken, they also have to pay some casualties.

Is the Oni Nation so kind to come and help them with the Alliance Army?

The answer is no, the Oni Country is not doing this to assist the Alliance Army, but for themselves, to achieve some kind of purpose. It seems to help the Union Army, but they have begun to fall on the chessboard, pushing the Union Army forward.

This feeling of being commanded made the four generations of Lei Ying very unhappy.

"Either way, at least their purpose of deterrence has been achieved. There may be other possibilities, but because there is so little information, more information is needed to support the arguments.

Lu Jiu touched his chin and spoke.

His thoughts are the same as those of the four generations of Thunder Shadow, and he doesn't believe that the Ghost Country is so kind and comes to help the Alliance Army for no reason.

There must be something they didn't perceive.

Just when they were frowning, Kaichi Yamanaka, who was in charge of communication with various troops, suddenly shook his body, as if he had learned some important news.

Not only Haiyi, but also the rest of the sentient ninjas who are responsible for maintaining intelligence communications.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the slight body movements of these people, Tsunade looked over and asked.

As the Minister of Intelligence, Kaichi Yamanaka said in a tone of disbelief, "The reconnaissance force that infiltrated the country of birds has just sent a message that the white troops of the country of birds have been routed on all fronts, and the white troops have begun to flee to the country of rain with all their might."

"What!?"

The head of the Union Army, as well as the members of the General Staff, were all shocked.

The White Absolute Army of the Bird Country was defeated on all fronts?

How did it rout so quickly?

According to their intelligence, there were at least 20,000 Bai Jue stationed there.

It's only been less than two days since the war started, how could the White Jedi Army, which is comparable to the combat strength of 20,000 Zhongnin, be suppressed by the Ghost Country to this point?

What really happened in the Land of Birds while they slept last night? What did the Oni no Kuni do there?

"Since last night, the Oni Country has been bombarding the White Jedi Force of the Bird Country all night. Several air forces dropped bombs on the Bird Country overnight, burning a quarter of the Bird Country. At the same time they dispatched two

A mechanical unit once again covered the theater of war with firepower, taking turns to clean up the remaining white extinctions. In the face of such an offensive, the White Absolute Force was powerless to resist at all, and could only escape from the Bird Country as quickly as possible. According to the visual inspection of the reconnaissance troops, there is no chance that there will be one in ten Bai who escapes back."

Qing on the other side added that his voice trembled very much.

Judging by the tone of his voice, it was obvious that he was shocked by the strength of the attack of the Oni Country.

Overnight, tens of thousands of Bai Jue were wiped out, and the number of Bai Jue who fled back was even less than one-tenth of the original.

It can be said that the White Jedi troops stationed in the country of birds have completely collapsed.

"What about the casualties in the Oni Country?"

The four generations of Thunder Shadow grasped the key point and stared at the personnel of the intelligence force, showing his inner unpeace.

"Some people were injured, but the reconnaissance team didn't see the dead in the land of ghosts, but even if there were, there might not be many."

Hai Yi suppressed the horror in his heart and opened his mouth to answer this information that was unbelievable to them.

「......」

The Five Shadows began to digest the shocking information, and the atmosphere in the room froze.

"I see."

At this time, Lu Jiu and Azabuyi, who were staff members, looked at each other as if they had thought of something.

Seeing the Five Shadows' gaze turn to them, Lu Jiu said steadily, "The Oni Kingdom is helping us because they are attacking too fast. Now that they have completed their control over the Bird Country region, it is believed that in a few days, they will be able to digest the spoils of the Bird Country. In this way, it is a foregone conclusion that they will attack the Land of Rain in a short time. It's just that in this way, the alliance army that is dragged outside the rain will be too slow to start a decisive battle with the Demon Master and Xiao."

That means that the Oni Kingdom will face the leader of Akatsuki alone, as well as the six-tailed beast in his hands.

That's different from the White Jedi Army, and it can even be said that in the face of such an otherworldly ninja, the effect of industrial thermal weapons is probably minimal.

Even if the country of ghosts can win, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

And the alliance army, which is still entangled with Bai Jue, if it does not take the initiative to attack, but instead watches from the sidelines, it can completely benefit in the end.

Therefore, in order not to bear all the pressure alone, the country of ghosts must also involve the alliance forces quickly, and cannot stay out of the situation.

「......」

Five Shadows opened their mouths, a little dumbfounded.

In other words, the existence of the alliance army may have slowed down the offensive pace of the Oni Country.

The country of ghosts dislikes that their front is advancing too slowly?

The face of the five shadows became very subtle, especially the four generations of thunder shadows, and fine currents began to emerge from their bodies, obviously the hearts of the whole person also began to be cloudy, and the thunder flashed.

Ma Buyi reluctantly glanced at the four generations of Lei Ying, and understood that this was the angry gesture of his own boss because he was looked down upon by others.

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow is a ninja with strong self-esteem, and he also doesn't know how to show weakness to others, and has always wanted to show his strongest side in front of everyone.

Now that the country of ghosts is naked projected with contempt, it is strange not to let him be angry.

"Thunder Shadow, don't fall for this level of provocation.

Onoki narrowed his eyes, reminding Thunder Shadow to calm down.

The other party is the head of the alliance army, and he must not lose his composure, otherwise it will be a disaster for the alliance army.

"I know, Tsuchikage, I'm not angry."

The aura on the body of the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow calmed down, but the dull tone was obviously still minding.

"Originally, it was intended to be used at a critical moment to let the Oni Country side see the strength of our alliance army...... But since they have made such a countermeasure, let's compete with them to see which side will attack Xiao's headquarters faster."

Hearing the four generations of Thunder Shadow say this, Onoki and the others knew that the four generations of Thunder Shadow didn't know how to write the word calm in their minds.

"I think Thunder Shadow-sama's words do

Reason, presumably the morale of the first wing who has seen this kind of scene may be a little low. Although the planned arrangements are somewhat advanced, the battle situation is ever-changing, and there is no need to follow the established rules. This is also for the sake of the rustic spirit of the ninjas in front of us, and we can't let the Oni Country side take the lead."

Lu Jiu said.

The Oni no Kuni is an ally that must not be reassuring.

In less than two days, almost all the 20,000 Bai Jue in the Bird Country were wiped out, and this kind of suppressive power was really amazing.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the coalition army responding strongly.

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow nodded and looked at Amubuyi.

"Then so be it, Azabuyi, use your heavenly send-off technique to send four chakra cannons to the front line, and at the same time, dispatch a thousand ninjas who can control flying ninja equipment to push the line of the Grass Country."

As he spoke, the four generations of Thunder Shadows looked at the other five shadows.

"What do you guys think?"

"Yes."

"So be it."

"Since the country of ghosts has done this, it would be rude for us not to respond."

The other five shadows nodded slightly.

"The old man thinks this is not enough."

The three generations of Mizukage, who had been sitting there silently, suddenly spoke out at this time.

"Third generation, why do you say that?"

Terumi looked at the three generations of Mizukage in surprise.

The rest of the five shadows are also looking at the three generations of water shadows.

Although the other party is the first five shadows, he is a ninja of the same era as the three generations of Tsuchikage Onoki, and he is also one of the fierce rivals of Tsuchikage Onoki.

Such a ninja is still a powerful deterrent even if he is old.

He may not have as much energy as he did when he was young, but his understanding and use of the technique is definitely more than in the past.

"The power of the chakra cannon is not known to the old man, and the thousand ninjas who control the flying ninja equipment, although they have good firepower, are not equipped with special ground-penetrating bombs like the country of ghosts. Therefore, it can only deter Bai Jue, but cannot achieve a devastating blow. Also, don't you think the Confederates are too conservative right now? The country of ghosts has sent its strongest elite to the front line, and our five shadows are still sitting behind.... Therefore, the old man dared to ask that the old man, the first five shadows, go to the front line to supervise the battle, occupy the country of grass at a faster speed, and establish a stable offensive line.

The three generations of Mizukage have an old face, but when they speak, they are loud, and there is a sense of oppression that cannot be refused.

Even if he is over seventy years old, he is still a generation of Mizukage after all, and he can't be treated as an ordinary ninja.

"No!"

Terumi's face changed, and she vetoed the proposal without question.

The same is true for the rest of the five shadows, their contemporary five shadows are still there, and let a long-retired water shadow be the first to go to the front line, how can they be embarrassed by their contemporary five shadows?

"The Oni Country has already taken out enough strength that even for the sake of morale on the front line, it shouldn't be so passive at this time. The old man believes that this wrecked body still has some deterrent power. The old man's water escape blade can even cut through the body of the tailed beast, and even the earth is not a problem."

Three generations of Mizukage said.

"It's too troublesome for the old-timers, this kind of thing is better for our contemporary five shadows to serve."

Tsunade smiled bitterly.

Of course, she knew that by letting the three generations of Mizukage Front Grass Country, she could defeat the White Absolute Army faster. Using the power of water escape, cutting through the earth and attacking the white absolute underground, it is not a difficult task for this former water shadow.

But, is this possible?

Even if it is on face, these contemporary five shadows will definitely not be erased.

"yes, why don't you let me go. Having a Five Shadows on the front line can be the most inspiring."

The fourth generation of Wind Shadow Luo Sha proposed at this time.

"Yes, then please, Kazekage. At the same time, the front-line command of the 2nd and 3rd Wings will also be handed over to you for the time being."

The four generations of Thunder Shadow have no opinion on Luo Sha's initiative to ask for help.

The opponent's magnetic escape technique can turn the earth into placer gold, and to a certain extent, it can restrain the white absolute underground, so that they have nothing to hide.

Moreover, Luo Sha's magnetic escape, defensive vigilance, and large-scale attack moves are to be the almighty blood inheritance limit.

Having him go to the front line can relieve a lot of pressure from the front.

Luo Sha nodded solemnly.

"So, all of you, just wait for my good news.

"Sister...... Aren't you going a little too hard to do that?"

In the area of the Bird Country, which has been reduced to a scorched wasteland, an entire forest has been wiped off the map by the devastation of war.

Even the mountains that are connected together are as if they have been flattened with a knife blade, revealing a flat and smooth facet.

Far more shocking than the picture obtained by the Union Army.

Such a picture, not to mention the alliance army, even the ninjas of the Oni Country who followed them, couldn't help but change color.

I can't imagine that war can destroy the earth like this.

"Cai, when did you become so kind to a woman?"

In the eastern half of the country of birds, in the fortress of the garrison established by the country of ghosts, Kazuhime stood on the new tall wall, looking at the mountains and forests in front of him that had been reduced to hellish scenery, and in the dark pupils, the light was faint, and he said in an extremely calm tone.

"I'm just worried that if you do this, sister, you'll turn the Bird Country into an uninhabited desert wasteland in the future."

Of course, Cai is not sad about Bai Jue's death, although the number of more than 10,000 Bai Jue's deaths is indeed amazing, but Cai also knows that it is an enemy, and there may be residual sympathy in his heart, but the mission will also make him ruthlessly wave the butcher knife at the enemy.

In such a time of war, good things can be done, but good people must not be good people.

However, he is worried about the destruction of these vibrant lands, which could have supported countless people, and what will those who return to their homeland use to sow seeds and get food?

If only some wasteland was destroyed, many of the bombed places were fertile fields and towns.

After all, the place where the White Peerless are hiding is not just a wilderness.

They want to use these strategic resource areas to delay the footsteps of the Oni Country.

However, in the face of Xiao's calculation, Yiji directly ignored it.

Whether it was the fertile fields that could be stationed, or those towns that needed to be re-inhabited in the future, Ichihime sent troops, and one of them was blown up, and wiped out together with Bai Jue, killing their last luck in the womb.

"The old man handed over the command of the front line to me, and now I am the commander-in-chief here, how to fight is my business, even if you are my younger brother, you only need to obey orders. If you are not satisfied with my approach, you can appeal to the old man. If the old man accepts it, or gives a clear request, I will seriously consider it. Otherwise, the battle on the front line, I will push forward the front line in my own way."

There are no waves in Ichihime's black pupils, and there is no guilt for the masterpiece he created in front of him.

"Next, you lead your squadron to sweep around, and although most of the white blades have been annihilated, there are still fish left behind.

"Yes."

Aya exhaled slightly, put away the complicated thoughts in her mind, and turned to leave with the sniper rifle on her back.

"Isn't it too hard on your brother?"

A crisp female voice came, a Hyuga clan with straight black hair and the same pupils as Cai.

Although he is really very old, due to his petite body, he looks extremely young on the outside.

It was Hinata Aoi, who served in the Thorn Group, one of Kazuhime's direct subordinates.

"There's nothing wrong with being kind, besides, he's just showing mercy to the people of the Bird Country who will return to their homeland in the future, and Jing Fei is hesitant about the enemy, that's enough."

Kazuhime glanced at the other party.

"yes. However, this move by you, team leader, has reduced a lot of casualties on our side. If only in the middle of the town

If Bai Jue starts a street battle, the losses on our side will be like those of the Alliance Army."

Hinata Aoi looked at the barren land in front of her and sighed.

What was once a thriving city is now a scorched earth.

Originally, many people planned to enter the town and fight to the death with Bai Jue, but under the orders of Kazuhime, the commander-in-chief of the front line, they were all destroyed.

Although there were still some casualties in the country of ghosts, and the self-detonation of those who controlled the flying ninja was still a bit tricky, the casualties were extremely light compared to the alliance army's side.

"What happened to the air force unit that went to the country of grass?"

Kazuhime looked ahead and did not answer the rhetorical question.

"They're already on their way back. Luckily, they followed our arrangement and withdrew their reconnaissance force ahead of schedule."

Hinata Aoi said with a smile.

"Really? If they insist on going their own way, scoffing at the advice from our side, and not planning to withdraw the reconnaissance troops, they can bury their reconnaissance troops with those white absolutes, and they can find no excuse to refute them. It's a shame."

Kazuhime's regretful voice drifted away with the breeze and disappeared.

Hinata Aoi's heart trembled, and she knew that Kazuhime had this idea.

This is the one who has a father and his daughter, and this one seems to be better than the blue in strangulating the enemy.

From this point of view, the next era of the military is mostly dominated by the hawks of the Oni Country.
