The next day, when the folding mirror returned to the front line on the grassland, the ninja who was the outpost had already received the latest news.

"The Immortal Legion has been opened, but the whole army suddenly turned north, I don't know why."

This sudden news caught Kakashi, the commander-in-chief of the front-line combat units, off guard.

The Undead Legion is composed of a large number of terracotta warriors and horses that move relatively slowly, and if you want to go to the underground ancestral hall of the country of swamps, the route along the way is very predictable, and you will definitely try to choose a route with gentle terrain and simple geographical conditions.

Front-line combat units can reduce the possibility of frontal casualties by setting up an ambush along this preset route, and the ninja's flexibility can be maximized.

However, the undead legion suddenly changed lanes and marched, and the original preset route was equivalent to being completely overturned, and the previously designed ambush location was all ineffective.

"Kakashi, aren't the Undead Legion going to the Swamp Country?" Akai asked.

Kakashi, on the other hand, stared at the map and pondered all the possibilities.

Could it be that the Undead Legion wants to intercept the Oni Country shrine maidens who have not yet set out from the Land of Demons?

But in that case, why don't you go directly to the shrine maiden of the Oni Country, or do you have to make a temporary change of route after reaching the border of the Oni Country?

Moreover, the shrine maidens of the Oni Country are the top priority of this war, and there will definitely be elite ninjas to guard them, although the number of undead legions is huge, but the speed is slow, and it is difficult to catch a small group of ninjas on the move.

The enemy's commander should also know this, so there is a high probability that he will send his ninjas to assassinate them, and it is unlikely that the entire undead army will be delayed for the sake of this small group.

So as Akai said, the undead legion didn't plan to go to the country of swamps, and changed to other targets?

Kakashi stretched out his finger and pointed at the map, then his gaze followed his finger upwards, and finally slowly landed on Kitanokuni above the map.

Kitanokuni, located directly above the Oni Country, is a country twice as small as the Oni Country.

There is nothing too attractive about the country, and the whole area is rarely plain, and the mountains are mostly mountainous.

Since there are no large-scale plains, and all human settlements are relatively scattered, the northern country is still using a backward tribal system.

The tribes hidden in the mountains are independent of each other, and occasionally small wars break out between the tribes, so the northern country is also known as the "backward barbarian land".

Further north of the North Country is the endless ocean, which is the one between the Land of Frost and the Land of Thunder.

If the undead legion is going to advance to the north, there is no other place to advance for the time being, except for those in the northern country.

Although Kakashi still couldn't figure out why the Undead Legion temporarily changed lanes to Kitanokuni, this important news had to be reported to Tsunade first anyway.

"Report to Hokage-sama immediately, the Undead Legion suddenly changed lanes and headed for the North Country."

"Yes!"

A ninja immediately ran out.

"The rest of the people are on standby in case the undead change lanes again."

"Also, the outpost ninjas should keep an eye on the movements of the undead legion at all times, and report any situation immediately."

"Yes!"

Among the angry ninjas, the origami standing at the back also heard Kakashi's temporary command.

It seems that the dragon finally listened to his opinion and went to the northern country of the north.

In this way, Shiro, who is on a shrine maiden guard mission, will not be in danger and will be able to safely reach the underground shrine of Numa Country.

In fact, there is one thing that the folding mirror can't figure out, that is, the body of the dragon dragon needs a witch to break the seal, so why did the dragon send four people under Huang Quan to hunt down the witch in the first place.

If the four of them really succeeded, the body of the dragon would never be able to break the seal.

Fortunately, it was the four of them who had enough food, coupled with the sacrifice of the tool man Azuho, that allowed the spirit to use the witch Shion to perform the sealing technique in advance to open the enchantment through words at the last moment, so that the dragon spirit could rely on Huang Quan's body to rush into the enchantment desperately and regain his original body.

However, in any case, the spirit didn't expect that the witch Shion would be so easy to deceive this time, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen the solution provided by the folding mirror.

It's just that if the dragon finds out that the folding mirror is lying to it, it will definitely turn around and go to the underground ancestral hall of the country of swamps again, and Shiro will still be in danger at that time.

So the folding mirror naturally won't deceive the dragon, somewhere in the northern country, the folding mirror really prepares the body for the dragon.

But it was prepared for it in the way of the folding mirror itself.

...

The undead legions don't move fast, but they are better at lasting.

The Sprite can control a large number of undead legions every day and can travel for twenty hours in a row, but due to the limitations of the human body, it still needs to rest for three to four hours a day.

Whenever he rests, the dragon's desire for new flesh is much stronger.

On the pedestal, Huang Quan sat cross-legged, one arm on his knee, his hands clenched into fists against his head, and his eyes closed but he gave orders.

"Where are the four?"

"The four of them are here."

Four white figures flashed and knelt on one knee in front of Huang Quan's royal car.

"I'm heading ahead to the northern country, and I haven't studied the terrain here in advance."

"Go ahead at once and find a route suitable for the undead legion."

The ninja world has not yet been born with navigation, so when a large-scale legion like this advances, it can only rely on the ninjas in front, that is, the spies to find a reliable route.

"Yes!"

The four of them took the order, and when the four left, Huang Quan's weak hand on his knee began to tremble, and it was not until the other hand held down this hand that the tremor stopped.

"Hurry..."

......

In the middle of the mountains, the figures of the four quickly skimmed over the high canopy.

"Big brother, is what that dark-skinned man said credible? I always thought that man was strange, and his words were not very credible. ”

With short orange hair, Shizuku, who looked the smallest of the four, questioned the question, while Kusha, who was regarded as the eldest brother among the four, spoke unwaveringly.

"Since Lord Huangquan and Lord Huang Wei have decided to trust him for the time being, we must trust Lord Huangquan's judgment, which is exactly what it is the duty of the four of us."

The reason why Jiusha is the eldest brother of the four people is because he is the only one among the four who can control Huangquan's chakra extracorporeal supply technique, and he also has a fairly high loyalty, so he is appreciated by Huangquan.

And at this moment, the moment next to him saw something on the forest floor.

"Big brother! There's a log cabin over there. ”

"Well, go down and have a look, if there are people living in it, maybe you can ask for a way out."

"Okay!"
