Chapter 709 Declaration of war!
For love and justice...no, to maintain order in the ninja world.
The Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Fire...the Kingdom of Grass, the Kingdom of Tang, and other countries officially declared war on the 'evil' castle tower.
Yes, it is the state that declares war.
The corresponding ninja village will naturally join the battle.
Because the Ninja Village is a war institution funded by the state, it is equivalent to a part of the country. When the country participates in the war, the Ninja Village is naturally included.
The reason sounds extremely fair.
But the actual reason is completely understandable.
Isn't it because the castle tower threatens the rule of these daimyo and nobles?
After driving away the nobles and bureaucrats, the castle tower's development speed soared like a rocket.
How does this work? .
Therefore, the daimyo and nobles must deal with the castle tower no matter how high the price is.
As for how many great ninja villages there are?
The potential of the castle tower is too terrifying. They are not willing to have the "Sixth Great Ninja Village" or another "Ninja Shura" appear, so they cooperate with the daimyo to use all their firepower.
When the news of the declaration of war spread, it immediately caused huge waves in the ninja world.
Because in the past great ninja wars, even if the war turned upside down, the daimyo could still gather and have fun together.
After all, no matter how many ninjas die, it won't affect them.
But once the country declares war, samurai, ashigaru, monks... and other troops will take part.
shock!
If only the Ninja Village declares war, the impact may not be so exaggerated, but if several big countries and a group of small countries declare war at the same time, the impact will be too exaggerated.
If these countries participate in the war, it means that the ninjas will have endless logistical support.
In the previous Ninja World War, these countries took the opportunity to accumulate supplies and sell them, making a lot of money. If they participate this time, they will naturally have to provide supplies.
No matter how much ninjas consume basic supplies, they can still supply these countries.
The focus is on transportation!
In the past, no matter how large the quantity of supplies was, it was useless if they could not be transported to the front line.
The speed and transportation efficiency of a horse-drawn carriage can't be pulled any further. To transport one horse-carriage of grain to a thousand miles may require the consumption of ten horse-carriage grains.
Now, isn’t there an aerostat? .
The transportation efficiency is directly maximized, and the number of troops that can go into battle is also maximized.
Although the major forces have low load capacity and poor quality of their aerostats due to differences in materials, anti-gravity arrays, chakra cores, etc., they have a lot of aerostats anyway, so logistical supplies are really not a problem.
(The castle tower foreign trade version of the air boat does not include these things!)
The coalition formed this time is headed by the three major ninja villages, and is supplemented by other ninja villages.
There are more than 30,000 light ninjas, the number of shadow-level experts exceeds double digits, and the number of flying troops exceeds 100,000.
Note that the flying troops mentioned here include those who can fly, and cannot be compared with the flying troops in the castle tower.
It's like comparing the fifth-generation machine before Tang Ping's time travel with the first-generation machine.
Not on the same level at all.
From the perspective of momentum, the castle tower is like an isolated island in the roaring waves.
The impact is huge.
Countless caravans and chambers of commerce were instantly cut off from the castle tower, to put it in one sentence.
Don't contact me again, I'm afraid the coalition forces will misunderstand!
The senior officials of the castle tower were extremely unhappy about this, but Dohei was extremely calm.
Because he knows that businessmen value profits.
We are only cooperating because of interests, and are not bound together. It is normal for people to jump ship when they see danger.
As long as this battle is over, these businessmen will naturally come back.
Contrary to the merchants, the castle tower ninjas and various troops were full of fighting spirit, and they all wanted to defend the tower with red eyes.
There are even many radicals who want to kill all the coalition forces and purify the entire ninja world.
Compared with these radicals, Tangping can be considered a 'conservative'.
Radical!
It can be said that most of the entire castle tower belongs to this faction.
Because they believe in the "Will of the Fierce Sun", they feel that the entire ninja world is decayed and they need to purify everything.
That is to say, Tang Ping doesn't know what they think, otherwise he would definitely say - No, I'm not a buddy, I'm just talking about it, but you actually take it seriously? .
After the war was declared, the coalition forces, which had already completed preparations for the "fire extinguishing plan", immediately rushed towards the castle tower.
The Iwa ninja and Kumo ninja soldiers who were originally engaged in a 'fierce battle' split into two groups, one on the left and the other on the right, heading towards the castle tower.
Konoha also immediately dispatched five thousand ninja troops to attack the castle tower from the middle.
And along the way, ninjas, guardian ninjas, monks, etc. from various small ninja villages will also join the three attacking forces.
The number of ninjas in each army exceeds ten thousand, and there are aerospace craft and flying troops accompanying them. The number can be said to be "overwhelming".
A lot of money was spent!
Just to maintain such a large army consumes a lot of resources.
Food is still a small matter, the focus is on military food pills, ninja tools... and the like.
Ninjas are 'gold-eating beasts', unlike those Ashigaru who can feed themselves with just some food and a spear.
Without adequate logistical guarantees, just refining chakra can make a ninja 'suicide' for you to see.
After all, half of chakra is extracted from cellular energy. Without enough replenishment, life is consumed.
Not to mention, in addition to these three ninja armies, there are also a large number of samurai and ashigaru who are also gathering.
The daimyo naturally did not expect these troops to defeat the ninjas. They were entirely used to consume chakra and threaten the castle tower.
Ordinary people have poor combat power, but they can destroy buildings and cities.
Once these troops attack, the castle tower will have no choice but to deal with them. Once they attack, they will give their own side a chance to attack.
Cannon fodder!
Ordinary people are used as cannon fodder.
At the same time, Dohei obtained a top-secret intelligence through an insider.
The flying troops of the three coalition forces will rush into the castle tower in advance.
And the task of these flying troops is to destroy everything with black oil and detonating talismans.
No one expects these flying troops to beat the flying troops of the castle tower. After all, everyone is not stupid and can see the gap between the two sides.
Even if the daimyo and the nobles are stupid, those staff and ninjas will remind them.
Therefore, these flying troops have only one task.
Destruction!
It is to use their own numerical advantage to prevent the flying troops of the castle tower from playing.
Wonderful air raid tactics!
It is definitely not thought up by the daimyo and the nobles.
It is very likely formulated by Nara Shikaku.
After all, he was very concerned about the castle tower, so it was not surprising that he could quickly come up with such a targeted tactic.
If he didn't know this information in advance, he might suffer heavy losses.
But once he knew it, the other party would be the one who would be in trouble.
After the coalition declared war, the castle tower would naturally respond.
[For the sake of a blue and pure world, the castle tower will purify the corrupt and backward ninja world! ]
Well, this statement is very tough.
Facing the coalition, the castle tower not only did not seek peace or retreat, but instead classified all the other parties as "corrupt and backward", even including other forces.
Headstrong!
This is the common thought of all forces after hearing the castle tower's speech.
The castle tower, with only a few thousand ninjas (public information) and less than 10,000 flying troops, had no chance of winning against the coalition of the three major countries and a dozen small countries.
Not to mention that the leader was seriously injured before (deliberately leaking information in Konoha), and the troops suffered heavy losses when attacking Myoboku Mountain, which was simply adding insult to injury.
In this situation, not seeking peace but fighting hard, what else is it if not headstrong? .
Therefore, all the major forces are watching how the castle tower dies.
The daimyo and nobles even issued an instruction.
No one should be left alive!
This lesson should be used to let people know who is the real master of the ninja world.
That is why the flying unit was asked to carry black oil.
If it was just a detonating tag, it would definitely be used against the ninja army and the city, but black oil is an indiscriminate attack.
Pastures, farms, orchards... and so on are all targets of attack.
Black oil!
Not only can it refine airship gas, but it also has a lot of uses.
Especially after several "demonstrations" by Doping, other forces have also discovered the potential of this thing in war.
It is not effective against ninjas, but it is extremely effective against buildings and fixed targets.
The declaration of war was made in the morning, and the flying unit arrived in the evening.
Yes, this was a long-planned "air raid".
The whole plan was precise and smooth. If it weren't for Doping's "inside ghost", he might not have reacted to the attack.
Now that we know, we can make some arrangements in advance.
Not to mention counterattack, at least it can reduce losses.
