Chapter 187: Preparing to Attack
And so, in an eerie tranquility, the first night of confrontation between the reformers and the rebels came to an end.
Around noon the next day, conservative and neutral forces also arrived at the 'Cape City'.
The three forces did not communicate much, and tacitly formed a triangular formation, encircling Cape City in the middle.
However, none of the three sides took the lead in attacking, and because they were at a disadvantage, the rebel forces did not dare to act rashly, and for a while, the situation was once again deadlocked.
But for the rebel side, the stalemate is not bad.
Their main goal is to stall for time.
The stalemate in the situation can not only delay time, but also reduce their own losses, and they are naturally happy.
After a day of stalemate, seeing that everyone had no intention of making the first move, the leaders of the three forces were a little anxious, and silently sent envoys to inquire about each other's movements.
Eventually, at the suggestion of the neutrals, they used telecommunication technology to hold their first meeting in their respective camps.
Terumi was the first to speak: "It's been nearly seven days since the Ninja Alliance launched a general attack on the Ghost Legion, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will end the war completely, and there is not much time left for us!" ”
"We must seize the opportunity to destroy the rebels as soon as possible!"
"I agree, the war can't drag on any longer!" The leader of the neutral faction, Oni Lantern Motoji, nodded immediately.
Because the second-generation Mizukage Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon was from the Ghost Lantern family, the Ghost Lantern Genji, who was the Ghost Lantern Patriarch at the time, deservedly sat in the position of the leader of the neutral faction.
As for the leader of the conservative faction, for the time being, it is up to the wolf.
Anyway, he was also the fourth generation of Mizukage in the previous life.
It's just that, because he was controlled in his previous life, he didn't have any prestige in the conservative community or even the entire fog hide, and he was able to sit in this position only because he was once a water shadow.
Moreover, he is only the nominal leader of the conservative faction.
In fact, conservatives don't think of him as a puppet.
After all, for the people at the bottom, the name of Mizukage is still quite useful.
"I also agree to deal with them as soon as possible, but which of us strikes first?" Goji asked the two playfully.
The conservative generals have concentrated all the forces in the territory, and their strength is not trivial, and the first one to strike will inevitably encounter the most fierce counterattack, and the losses will inevitably be not small.
This is also the reason why the three of them have been deadlocked for a day, and no one has made a rash move.
"Since they don't want to strike first, let's shoot at the same time!"
Terumi immediately put forward her own idea, took a watch from the guard next to her, and said seriously: "The three of us will check the time, and attack from different directions at three o'clock in the afternoon!" ”
"No problem!"
The other two agreed without thinking, and each asked for a watch from the guard next to them to check the time with Terumi.
Although they seem to be very cooperative, Terumi also understands in her heart that they should have some small actions in private.
However, none of this mattered, she just wanted to eliminate the rebel forces as soon as possible and prevent them from being stopped by Konoha and Yunyin.
After the talks, Terumi immediately found Rokuzawa again.
"Something?"
Looking at the brown-red haired girl in front of him, Rokuzawa asked with a smile.
Zhao Meiming is the same age as him, and now he is fifteen years old, his body has entered a stage of rapid growth, and he already has a bit of the demeanor of the mature beauty in his memory.
"I've just consulted with conservatives and neutrals, and I'm going to launch an offensive at three o'clock in the afternoon at the same time to break the stalemate!" Terumi said very seriously.
"It's impossible to say that this kind of thing is agreed!"
Liu Ze shook his head and said, "Although they will not completely violate the agreement and ignore the overall situation, they will definitely have to make some small moves." ”
"That's right!"
Terumi sat down opposite him and continued, "So, I intend to continue to appoint you as the leader of the first column and lead the first column to launch the first round of attacks. ”
"You're really a caller! Net to arrange some drudgery! Rokuzawa glared at her fiercely.
Obviously, Terumi has taken a fancy to the powerful defensive capabilities of their Taketori clan's rebellious armor.
That's why he was deliberately appointed as the captain of the first column and led the first column to launch the first round of offensives.
Although he was very upset, he also understood it.
If it were him, he would have arranged it the same.
With such a strong defensive team, it is natural to arrange to the front to share the pressure and use good steel on the blade.
"Please! Only your strong defenses are the best suited for the striker! Terumi stared at Rokuzawa tightly and solemnly pleaded.
"Okay, you don't have to, I know what to do!" Rokuzawa couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Although the errand is hard, it can also greatly improve the inherent image of the Taketori clan in the minds of others, and he has no reason to refuse.
"Thank you!"
Terumi looked happy, and then instructed: "Although I ordered you to be a pioneer, I didn't want you to die. ”
"If you find that something is wrong, or if there is any change between the conservatives and the neutrals, you can immediately lead people to retreat, and there is no need to entangle with the enemy."
"I know that!"
Rokuzawa nodded, and said, "However, instead of worrying about me, you should worry about the rest of the team first!" ”
"My Taketori clan has the 'Armor of Rebellion' to protect the body, I'm afraid that even if the entire team is dead, we won't be fine!"
The strength of the 'Rebel Armor' gave him enough confidence to lead his people to deal with any difficulties.
But this time there were too many enemies, and even though they could block some of the attacks, the rest was not something that others could bear.
"Don't worry, I will leave the second and third columns behind and cover you with long-range ninjutsu! By the way, beware of conservatives and neutrals! Terumi said seriously.
"That's fine!"
Rokuzawa nodded.
In the end, after finding a watch and checking the time scale with Terumi, the two separated again.
And Rokuzawa also ordered everyone in the first column to recharge their energy and prepare for war.
The time soon reached half past two, and Rokuzawa was about to gather all the members of the first column.
However, he did not rush to attack, but just gathered people in advance to facilitate the next action, and by the way, let everyone feel the atmosphere of this large-scale war, so as to save temporary mistakes.
"Keep your eyes open for a while, don't rush forward! Watch out for enemy attacks! While there was still time, he once again instructed the crowd.
The Taketori clan had the 'Armor of Rebellion', and he wasn't very worried, but the others didn't.
Even if there is ninjutsu cover in the rear, it is not enough to block all the enemy's attacks.
There's nothing wrong with being careful, and your chances of survival will be higher.
"Don't worry, adults, we will be careful and will not joke with our lives!"
"Yes, yes, don't worry!"
……
Everyone echoed, and the whole team suddenly became a lot noisier, indirectly washing out the tension caused by the war.
