Chapter 453: The Road to the Decisive Battle
"Boom, boom!!"
Beyond the Wild Lands, gunboats of the Shogunate Navy's Western Task Force are firing cluster chakra shells at the steel-solid reef that has been honed for countless years.
However, this time the salvo effect was not good, although the exposed reef on the surface of the sea was partially blown away, the part under the sea floor was still as tough as ever.
"Reefbreaker ready!"
On top of the battle flagship, Uchiha Tokumitsu also noticed this scene, and immediately turned his head and ordered: "Don't be stingy with the tailed beast Chakra, drive the power of the reef-breaking ship to the maximum!" ”
"Yes!"
Kohei Nara, a staff officer of an old acquaintance, immediately responded.
After the Fire Gate Shogunate, which was originally stationed to rule the country of grass, was withdrawn and reorganized into the Northwest Guard, the original team was also dismantled and reorganized, and the top leaders of the former Fire Gate Shogunate, including Nara Kohei, were also dispersed into various ninja armies; And Uchiha Tokumitsu didn't look at them differently, but assigned new positions that were more suitable for their abilities according to their abilities.
As the order was given, the specially built reef-breaking ship that had been waiting for it began to run at full power under the control of the Shogunate ninja, and ran over the reef bushes in front of it with the momentum of Mount Tai.
Then came the extremely piercing sound of the reef cracking, and the shogunate, even with soundproof earmuffs, was stimulated to the point that his scalp was tingling.
"Speedboat team ready!"
As the reef-breaking ship continued to move forward, Nara Kohei immediately issued a second order.
Speedboats were lowered from the ironclads, each carrying six ninjas, and quickly headed further ahead of the reefbreaker under the propulsion of the chakra engine.
Although the ninja frogs of Mt. Myoki are not human, they are not fools either, so they naturally do not know that the shogunate navy is opening a channel on the sea, but because the ninja frogs of Mt. Myoki have not had the concept of supply and support troops, it is difficult to support their large-scale expedition of ninja frogs.
But ever since the opening of the waterway has been gaining momentum, especially since the Uchiha Tokumitsu began to take charge himself, the small-scale ninja frog raids have not stopped.
The task of the speedboat team is to scout in front of the valuable reef-breaking vessels so that they are not damaged by the ninja frogs that may be lurking.
In addition to the speedboat fleet, the sea-facing radar on the ironclad ship is also constantly scanning every movement under the sea and sea.
After all, Uchiha Tokumitsu personally came to the front line, and no ninja dared to slack off.
"Tokumitsu-kun ......"
Uchiha Makoto walked to the bow of the flagship ship with a cup of tea in her hand and handed the warm tea to Uchiha Tokumitsu.
Uchiha Tokumitsu took it and took a sip, but his attention remained on the reef-breaking ship that was rampage through the reef with an unstoppable force.
Regardless of whether the hurricane barrier in the direction of the East China Sea is followed by a passage to the new world, it does not prevent Uchiha Tokumitsu from killing Myoki Mountain.
This kind of heterogeneous and powerful alien who lives together is the most annoying.
If you obediently be a supply place for psychic beasts, then it's fine, ninjas generally don't have any opinions on this, but Miaokiyama is used to standing on the high ground of morality and secretly pointing out the ninja world, Zang Wei characters, and even to the point of arrogance to the absurdity of designating the savior of the ninja world!
It's not just Uchiha Tokumitsu, but other ninja powerhouses can't stand such a thing.
It's just that in the past era, the most dazzling twin stars in the ninja world were often from the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan, especially the Indra Asura brothers who were constantly reincarnated and entangled and fought in the bloodlines of the two clans, and no one cared about the small actions of Miaomu Mountain.
But for Uchiha Tokumitsu, that's-
"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore!"
Without celibacy to kill Miaomu Mountain, it is already considered that Uchiha Tokumitsu's sanity is very online.
"Let's go back to the cabin and rest, the sun is too hot in the wilderness......"
After looking at the construction progress for a while, Uchiha Tokumitsu took Uchiha Makoto's hand and walked to the cabin.
The reddish Uchiha Makoto obediently took one step at a time.
But as soon as he stepped off the bow of the ship, the terrible radar warning sound suddenly sounded!
Then the loudspeaker began to chant: "At a depth of 5 to 10 meters below 20 nautical miles to the southwest, a large number of unidentified creatures are rapidly approaching!" ”
"Repeat: Unknown creatures in the southwest are approaching! The combat squad is ready to fight immediately! ”
Following the command of the loudspeaker, the shogunate ninja army, which had been waiting for it solemnly, quickly dispatched, and the reef-breaking ship was deployed with a water ghost army recruited from the rain ninja from thousands of miles away, and they also quickly jumped into the sea to guard against a possible attack below.
The flagship's cannon also began to turn around, pointing at the area marked by the radar.
"Tokumitsu-sama......"
Kohei Nara trotted all the way over and asked.
"Open fire."
Uchiha Tokumitsu said casually.
In the day when the fleet was stationed, he had also seen too many such attacks that were purely death-sending acts, so he was a little tired of it.
"Fire!"
Kohei Nara immediately yelled at the walkie-talkie on his shoulder.
"Bang Bang Bang !!"
As the order was issued, the triple turret in the bow of the ship roared with a salvo!
"Boom, boom!"
With the roar of the cannon, the sea area where the aliens were located was quickly blown red, and the stumps and severed bones continued to surface.
"Fire!"
After the turret was reloaded, Kohei Nara gave the order again.
And in the direction detected by the radar, nearly half of the life signals have disappeared!
"It's kind of weird......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a frown.
"What's wrong?"
Uchiha Makoto was a little surprised.
And Nara Kohei immediately bowed his head and listened.
"It seems that these aliens are deliberately sending them to death......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu said.
“…… You mean, they are probing the power of our counterattack? ”
Kohei Nara asked tentatively.
"That's pretty much it, but who knows what these guys who aren't human think."
Uchiha Tokumitsu was also a little unsure.
"Why don't you send another fleet to support?"
Uchiha Makoto suggested.
The Uchiha pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Order the Navy Headquarters to dispatch ships to form a third fleet, and immediately lift anchor and come to the expeditionary shipping lane to support!"
"Yes!"
The attendant ninja immediately responded.
……
"The temptation is complete!"
On a rocky beach along the coast of the Wild Lands, the toad Hiroshi Chao, who was meditating, said, "Today, the big cylinder used to launch the detonation talisman kunai on the ironclad ship was not fired, but three large pipes side by side fired at us. ”
“…… What about those of the same kind? ”
Toad Wentai slowly opened his eyes.
"Dead!"
Toad Guang shrugged his shoulders and said casually: "The largest ironclad ship has fired three large pipes in a row, and it is strange that those of the same kind who don't even have chakra are not dead!" ”
"It's all the same vein of Myoki Mountain......"
Toad Wentai's persuasion is empty and unconvincing.
This is also the collective decision of the high-level ninja frogs of Myoki Mountain, it is necessary to find out the strength of the shogunate, and it is also very suitable to use ordinary large stone frogs, sea frogs and other creatures with empty bodies as attack bait, and those shogunate ninjas can't tell the difference at all.
"Have you figured out the situation of the shogunate fleet?"
Toad Wen nagged too much, and then he didn't bother anymore.
After all, frogs without chakra are of little value to Myoki Mountain.
"Three ships that crash into the reef, five combat ships that can launch attacks, and many more small boats to count."
Toad Guang immediately replied, "If you are a ninja, there are about a thousand people. ”
"If you want to destroy this fleet......"
Toad Wen was too hesitant.
"At least 3,000 ninja frogs plus 6,000 frogs as a precursor."
Toad Guang also gave his opinion.
"Three Thousand ......"
Toad Wentai couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.
After so many fiascos, how many ninja frogs can there be in Myoki Mountain?
According to Myogiyama's information, the shogunate's ironclad ships were far more than that, and it was unknown whether destroying this fleet would discourage the shogunate's expedition.
"Isn't there still a dragon cave?"
Toad Guang brandished his twin knives and said, "Those stinky snakes are huge, and they are perfect for use as cannon fodder!" ”
"Then if you let five more ninja snakes come out of the dragon hole......"
Toad Wentai thinks this is also a way.
Nearly 10,000 psychic beasts besieged a fleet of 1,000 people, theoretically speaking, it should be nine out of ten.
It can not only attack the shogunate's forward fleet, but also appropriately weaken the power of the dragon cave, which can be called the best of both worlds!
Although attacking and destroying a fleet would inevitably make the shogunate even angrier, now that both sides were in a state of non-stop, there was no need for Myokiyama to pay attention to the shogunate's emotions.
"Three days later!"
Toad Wen Taiyi gritted his teeth and made a decision: "I will go back and explain to the immortals the importance of this battle, and at that time, we must have the help of the Dragon Earth Cave Giant Snake!" ”
"That's right!"
A bloodthirsty smile also appeared on Toad Guang's face.
……
"Rumbus Conductor ......"
In the middle of nowhere, the Uchiha Lembo, who had just captured an island, did not participate in the bloody feast under his command, but returned to the ship to sleep, and the chief of staff of the fleet, Uzumaki Ichiraku, also returned to the cabin.
"Hmmm......"
Uchiha Rumbu replied slightly, continuing to squint.
"I've checked, and the humanoid creatures on the island are indeed not from the ninja world......"
Uzumaki Ichiraku whispered, "Whether it is physical characteristics or fighting style, it is different from the ninja world. ”
"And all sorts of strange abilities ...... them"
Uchiha Rumbu sighed, opened his eyes and said, "Although their strength is different, their abilities are still remarkable......"
In the landing battle to seize the island, Uchiha Rumbu also personally rushed into battle, and he also had a relatively intuitive preliminary understanding of those humanoid creatures on the island.
"By the way, can you confirm their identity?"
"The language is different, and the writing is completely different, and we can't determine their identity and belonging to the forces for the time being......"
Uzumaki replied, "But they all have skulls on their sails, so they look like pirates or something, right?" ”
"Pirate ......"
This is also a headache for Uchiha Rumbu.
When he saw the black skull on the other party's sail, he also thought it was just a group of rabble, but he didn't expect that he really almost capsized in the gutter during the attack!
And that's where the anxiety comes from.
If ordinary pirates have such a strong fighting power, then how strong is the official strength of this world!
And whether discovering this world is a blessing or a curse for the ninja world, Uchiha Rumbu is not clear.
"Later, you command the ninja army to completely burn the island to the ground, don't leave any information related to us!"
Uchiha Rumbu hesitated for a moment and said, "In addition, except for the shinobi, no one else is allowed to come into contact with these natives!" ”
"Yes!"
Uzumaki immediately responded.
Sometimes, for the ninjas at the bottom, ignorance is actually a kind of happiness.
They are only responsible for carrying out orders, and it doesn't do them any good to know too much.
"But if I can return to the ninja world, I don't know what kind of reward Tokumitsu-sama will give me?"
After arranging the post-war affairs, Uchiha Rumbu continued to sleep. (End of chapter)
