Chapter 544: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
One of the advantages of demolishing and annihilating the Advance City from the top down is that it can kill as many enemies as possible in the city so that they do not escape.
After all, among the navy and pawns, there are also strong men who have strong armament and domineering but have never eaten Devil Fruits.
Therefore, although the gradual demolition and annihilation plan of Sanshoyu Hanzo is very cumbersome, the overall effect is still very good.
Moreover, the casualties of the ninja army are relatively rare.
Except for a small number of naval remnants who were bent on fighting to the death or because they failed to remove the lower floors in time, the ninja troops who landed on the ground of the advancing city were not hindered by others, and everything went surprisingly smoothly.
"Yakura-kun, I'm going to continue to trouble you next."
After the Sanshoyu Hanzo led the army to officially board the land of the city, he said to the gloomy mandarin Yakura.
"Got it, wait until I'll catch my breath......"
Although Goji Yakura felt that doing this kind of demolition work was really boring and tiring, he still accepted it.
I don't know why, Goji Yakura always feels that the three-tailed Isofu sealed in his body has become a lot more obedient recently, no matter how many Tailed Beast Chakras are extracted, they are a little indifferent, and they are not always symbolically struggling like before.
……
"Your Majesty, the Fourth and Fifth Legions are all in place, please instruct!"
In the ninja world, inside the Konoha Grand Palace, Uchiha Tokumitsu also received a report on the formation of the ninja army.
After the semi-mechanized prosthetic technology began to be popularized, the phenomenon of the 'ninja shortage' of the ninja government was also well alleviated.
Especially in the Ninja Army, it has received a large number of secondary conscription ninjas, and although these ninjas who have retired due to injuries have some shortcomings in strength, they are undoubtedly superior in combat experience compared with reserve ninjas, so Uchiha Tokumitsu also made a distinction according to the retirement time of the second conscription ninja, as long as the ninjas who retired after the establishment of the shogunate accepted the second conscription and were willing to join the ninja army, they would be included in the expeditionary force.
Therefore, the Fourth and Fifth Legions, both of which were 5,000 people, were formed, and more than half of them were ninjas who were recruited for the second time, which is the so-called Astral Army.
Although due to the limitations of the ninja's physique, these Astral Army modified by prosthetic limbs cannot be as flexible as normal ninjas, the prosthetic limbs they are equipped with also provide a carrier for equipping new ninja equipment.
For example, directly transforming the cyborg prosthetic limb into a machine cannon that can continuously fire the detonation talisman kunai, or directly inscribe the sealing talisman array on the prosthetic limb, etc., although the flexibility of the Astral Army is relatively poor, but after the actual combat exercise, the high-level ninja government officials found that these transformed Astral Army can actually exert more powerful combat effectiveness than the ordinary ninja army in the case of fighting in formation!
This is not the difference between chakra and ninjutsu, but the difference in pure 'technological content'!
After seeing the advantages of the 'Astral Army', there are even some senior ninjas whose strength has not been able to improve through their own efforts began to liven up, and they actively sought to accept semi-mechanized transformation to make themselves more powerful in combat.
However, this part of the ninja group's request, which was too radical and even difficult for the martial arts faction to understand, was finally prevaricated by Uchiha Tokumitsu on the grounds of 'insufficient prosthetic production'.
"The Fourth Legion will be handed over to the Uchiha Fire Gate, and as for the Fifth Legion, ......"
Uchiha Tokumitsu pondered for a moment, then said slowly, "It will be the chairman of the House of Representatives. ”
After the dispatch of the Fourth and Fifth Legions, the ninja army put into the pirate world reached more than 20,000 troops, plus the mobilization of reserve columns as logistics troops, more than 20,000 combat ninjas were enough to support Uchiha Tokumitsu's grand strategic vision.
……
When the Uchiha Deguang Department passed through the World Gate and arrived at the Island of the Sacred Tree, they found that the special natural energy content of the Pirate World had increased a lot.
And the existence of the Divine Tree could not be concealed any longer, after all, its height had reached into the clouds, and even beyond the sea level, the branches and leaves of the Divine Tree could be seen wantonly on the clouds.
Uchiha Tokumitsu doesn't know what the sacred tree in the ninja world looks like, or what its growth rate is, but judging from the current growth of the sacred tree, it should be much faster than the ninja world.
"Your Majesty......"
The commander-in-chief of the Third Legion, who was in charge of the defense of the Devil's Triangle and the Island of the Sacred Tree, stepped forward to salute.
"Thank you for your hard work......"
The Uchiha bowed in return.
"It's just a matter of duty, Your Majesty is really serious!"
Kakuto immediately bowed and saluted, without the idol baggage of being an 'old-timer' and a 'assassin among the pillars'.
After all, the ninja government has given too much!
"Has your land grudge changed again?"
Uchiha Tokuba's nose twitched slightly, and he smelled something different.
“…… Don't hide it from Your Majesty, it is true that the land grievances of Huo Dun and Earth Dun have been changed. ”
Kakuto explained, "But it's not the heart of the ninja, it's the Devil Fruit ability provided by Dean Orochimaru......"
"Of course, it's just the prisoners who are badly wounded."
"How does it feel? Will you be afraid of water? ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu was a little surprised.
"There was some resistance in my heart, but there was no negative reaction......"
Kakudu immediately replied: "And according to the research of the institute's great scientist Vegapunk, if it is combined with chakra and transformed, the artificial devil fruit may be able to remove these negative influences." ”
"Then we're going to see what they're doing."
Uchiha Tokumitsu thoughtfully.
Entering the world of pirates again after more than a month, Uchiha Tokumitsu is not just to advance the castle or the upcoming battle between the Navy VS the Four Emperors of Pirates, but more importantly, to see the progress of the Donshima laboratory.
Especially the progress of artificial Devil Fruits and Hailou Stone weapons.
And if these two studies can be successful, it will be able to make up for the inability of ninjas to practice 'domineering' to a certain extent, which will greatly improve the strength of the ninja army and even the entire ninja world.
Although this ascension may take a long time, Uchiha Tokumitsu can afford to wait.
Moreover, he also has high expectations for the upcoming new world war.
After all, in the memory of his previous life, when the top war took place, the navy was exhausted, and even recruited His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas to participate in the battle, so that the white-bearded pirates who launched the attack and the 43 pirates under their command were defeated, and now under the operation of the Bofeng Water Gate, the four emperors of the new world have been united, although the four of them may not work together or go all out, but the pressure brought by this will definitely be greater than the top war!
But Uchiha Tokumitsu was particularly insufficient, and after leading the Fourth and Fifth Legions to Dong Island, the first thing he did was not to go to the laboratory to see the progress of the research, but to personally send a telegram to Bo Feng Shuimon-
"There is no upper limit on the support of the ninja government for the Four Emperors, and there is no upper limit on the number of arms trade!"
Of course, this is just to completely loosen the restrictions on Bo Feng Shuimen, and the real killer weapon of the ninja world will not really be open to those pirates.
……
Higher animals tend to be easier to tame than primitive animals, because it only takes a plausible logic to convince them that what they know is true, and thus to do things that are essentially contrary to their own interests under the secret instructions of others.
For example, when the 'infinite support' sent by the Bo Feng Shui goalkeeper Uchiha Tokumitsu told Kaido, who had just arrived at the G1 branch to meet Charlotte Lingling, although a trace of doubt surfaced in his mind, then another news shattered all doubts-
"The Advance City has entered the clearance stage, and our Marines have captured the ground and the second underground floor of the Advance City."
Bo Feng Shuimen said.
"So fast!"
Kaido was taken aback.
Even Charlotte Lingling, who was eating and drinking, couldn't help but stop eating.
Regardless of the number of garrisons and the strength of the city, it represents the face of the world government, and it is one of the three major power institutions of the world government on the surface, symbolizing the punishment of all those who disobey the world government.
And the fall of the city of advancement...... At the very least, the current military operation that directly penetrates into the interior is already a naked slap in the face!
"Our troops deployed in Advance City have also paid a huge price as a result."
Bo Feng Shuimen said frankly.
Of course, if you take into account all the number of annihilations of the shadow clone and the water body, then the battle losses of the First Legion will exceed the number of the entire army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'disastrous' - after all, the annihilation of the shadow clone also has a great negative impact on the caster.
"What about the East China Sea......
Shanks asked suddenly.
Although in the ambush battle, Shanks was unable to reinforce in time due to various force majeure factors, but this is also understandable, after all, as one of the Four Emperors, it is impossible to stay in one place all the time waiting for the call of others, not to mention Shanks, who has always been known for his 'free will'.
As a result, Shanks was able to retain his place in front of Kaido and Charlotte Lingling.
"The East China Sea side is engaged in a tentative battle, but it will not be so quick to achieve results in the short term......"
Bo Feng Shuimen replied vaguely.
"We must try to contain the naval forces in the East China Sea......
Charlotte Lingling also understood what Shanks meant, so she put down the dessert and said in a harmonious voice: "After the capture of the Holy Land of Maryjoy and the destruction of Marinford, I will fully support the rule of the Great Kingdom over Paradise!" ”
This attitude has become too fast! ’
When Bo Feng Shuimen heard this, he immediately slandered in his heart!
When she had just rescued Charlotte Lingling, she also vowed to fully support all the resolutions of the 'Huge Kingdom' - and could even support the 'King of the Huge Kingdom' to become the new king of the world, but how long has it been now, and it has already been replaced by supporting 'Demarcation and Rule'!
If the war goes well, will it be necessary to divide the territory of each world again?
Or to the phrase 'those who are powerful in the territory and sea live in it'?
But on the bright face, Bo Feng Shuimen still said with a smile: "Your Majesty has clearly ordered the Dynasty Legion to prepare for war with all its might, and two new armies have arrived on Dong Island, so don't worry about the East China Sea~"
After all, he can't talk about political exchanges with people who don't even have the most basic logic of rule and governance.
"That's good......"
Kaido nodded with satisfaction: "But if the King of the Giant Kingdom is willing to give his full support, then can the ironclad ship help some?" ”
"I'm sorry, but the finished warship can't bypass the World Government's blockade and enter the New World."
Bo Feng Shuimen casually prevaricated: "But there will be no limit to the number of heavy guns and external armor that can be sold, and the number of shells distributed by each heavy gun can be increased to seven hundred." ”
"And the selling price remains the same!"
Bo Feng Shuimen added.
According to the design service life of these monkey version of heavy artillery, about 700 shells will be scrapped after firing, and these shells will also be bombarded on the navy in the future, so Bo Feng Shuimen can be regarded as an extra calculation while giving sweetness.
"Okay......"
Although Kaido had some regrets, he still accepted Bo Feng Shuimen's statement.
"It is expected that the Whitebeard Pirates and the main fleet of the Kingdom of Totland will all arrive tomorrow, and then the paradise will ......"
Charlotte Lingling finished eating a table of desserts, wiped her mouth, and said slowly: "If you can, please also ask the kingdom's fleet to maneuver to Marienford, or bombard the Chambord Islands to ......"
"If the battle in the East China Sea goes well and the troops under the command of the Navy Karp can be defeated, then we will march to the Navy Headquarters."
Bo Feng Shuimen responded without leaking.
……
"Drake doesn't have the latest intel there?"
At this time, Sakaski, who was stationed in the G1 branch, seemed extremely irritable, and asked Sengoku, who was sitting on the high platform as steady as an old dog, many times.
Sengoku continued to close his eyes and recuperate, refraining from responding.
If there was any information, Sengoku would not have hid it, so Sakasky's inquiry was really redundant.
Kuzan, on the other hand, had been silent since he learned that the battle in the city was unfavorable, and he did not bother to pay attention to Sakasky, who was going crazy.
The yellow ape, on the other hand, was fiddling with the newly installed semi-mechanized prosthetic limb, seemingly unconcerned about these things.
Receiving no response, Sakasky continued to circle around the war room, but his expression was already agitated that could no longer be concealed.
After a while, the quiet war room suddenly sounded the chirp of the phone bug 'Bruburu~', and Sengoku immediately took out the phone bug from his arms and answered it.
During the answer, Sengoku didn't say much, but his face became darker and darker.
“…… What's going on! ”
Immediately after Sengoku hung up the communication of the phone bug, Sakasky asked.
"The South China Sea ......"
Sengoku closed his eyes again, but his face was full of tiredness: "The Way of the Seven Waters was attacked by the Fog Hidden Pirates, and all the thirty new warships that were about to complete the keel laying were burned......"
"Isn't fog hidden ......"
Sakasky was stunned for a moment, but reacted again: "You mean the pirate group that first appeared in the East China Sea?" ”
"Yes......"
Sengoku's words were full of exhaustion: "Even the shipyard has burned down, and many of the shipwrights of the Carrera Company are missing......"
"This ......"
The three generals looked at each other, a little at a loss.
Now, it's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!
The Four Emperors of the New World, the 'Remnants of the Great Kingdom' of the East China Sea, and the Capital of the Seven Waters of the South China Sea, which is the shipbuilding base of the World Government......
How does it feel as if the world government has become a crisis and enemies on all sides?
Everyone, including Sengoku, couldn't figure it out. (End of chapter)
