Chapter 724: Mist Ninja reinforcements are joining the battlefield!

The main account of the coalition camp in the middle!

The atmosphere was extremely solemn at this time.

After all, this attack failed.

At this time, there were not only a few people from Konoha, but also representatives from the Land of Fire and other ninja villages. They added up to nearly a hundred people, which could be considered as all the top leaders of the middle army.

"Now, let's discuss the next strategy, shall we?"

Jiraiya sat at the top and spoke.

On his left was Tsunade, and on his right was Nara Shikaku, who had just lost his hand. At this moment, his face was pale and his left hand was wrapped in a thick bandage, but he still attended the meeting.

"I think we must strengthen our offensive efforts, otherwise we will not be able to quickly destroy the opponent's defense!"

Chikimaru spoke.

Naturally, it is impossible for this representative of the Fire Nation's famous names to be absent.

It's just that he is very smart and always stays behind to 'supervise the battle'. Anyway, everyone knows how good he is as a quasi-shadow expert, and no one blames him.

In other words, nobles like him who don't behave like monsters are already the "best" representatives in the eyes of ninjas.

Quick victory!

This is the consensus of the nobles and daimyo.

Every extra day of delay is equivalent to an extra day of slap in their face, not to mention other losses.

The amount of materials consumed in a war of this level is completely terrifying. It has only been fought for more than a month, and already many nobles cannot hold on anymore.

It's just war consumption, but it's not that exaggerated.

After all, with the advent of the aerostat, transporting supplies is no longer like the previous method of consuming 10 supplies to transport one supply to the front line.

Not to mention, the castle tower did not harass the logistics.

The real problem is that for every hundred supplies taken out, only a few can be sent to the front line.

Yes, the material loss rate is even more exaggerated than before when there were no airships and someone attacked the transport troops at the same time.

Why? .

Of course it's because of the nobility and bureaucrats.

This is a rare opportunity.

There had never been such a large-scale war before, so we couldn't gain much.

It is rare to encounter such a good opportunity this time. If we don't get some money back from it, we will be sorry for their efforts.

And there are many reasons for loss.

Fire, wear and tear, theft, price changes...etc.

Although the amount one person can catch is not much, if the whole group is fishing... it will be a disaster.

With tens of thousands of ninja troops and hundreds of thousands of troops in war-scale logistics, coupled with this attrition rate, it's no wonder that the daimyo and nobles couldn't withstand it.

"No, you have seen the casualties today. We can no longer attack by force. It is best to drag the opponent to death directly!"

Nara Shikaku didn't agree with Chikimaru's suggestion.

You are not the one who died.

Even he, the Konoha military advisor, was afraid of the casualties of a strong attack.

In the past, after fighting for more than a month, the casualty rate of Konoha ninjas was only a few hundred, but today, just one day was equivalent to the losses of more than a month before.

If you include other ninja troops.

The casualties were nearly two thousand!

Almost one-tenth of the Ninja Army.

It's just one day!

If this level of loss lasted for a few days, all the ninja villages would be severely damaged, and Dohei didn't blame Nara Shikaku for standing up to refute.

Even Jiraiya looked extremely ugly and almost refused to reject the proposal directly.

"I know that slowly delaying the castle tower is the best way, but the logistics..."

Qianximaru reluctantly told the truth.

Yes, even though he is also a noble, he must be responsible for this fire-fighting plan. If it fails, he will be responsible, so he became a human being.

If he is not the person in charge of the plan, do you think he will be a human being?

Everyone in the camp was silent.

Because everyone knows how exaggerated the logistical pressure is for such a large force.

Even they were shocked by the dedication of the nobles and daimyo.

The Ninja Army's participation in battle is not free!

In addition to being responsible for logistics, the other party also has to pay employment fees.

For example.

A Jonin costs one million taels a week, which is equivalent to the lowest-priced S-level mission.

Ordinary tasks are not as dangerous as the battlefield, so the price is high.

The total number of ninja troops is about 60,000, of which there are more than 500 jounin. Just paying for the employment of jounin will cost several billion taels in more than a month, not to mention there are more chuunin and genin. . All added up, the employment fee from the beginning of the war to the present has exceeded more than 20 billion taels.

Fortunately, Ashigaru, logistics...troops and the like don't need much salary, otherwise the cost will only be more.

No matter how rich the daimyo and nobles were, they still couldn't bear the consumption.

Not to mention that not many of these things were actually used in war.

"Can you let those adults supervise..."

An elite jounin from the small ninja village was about to propose that the daimyo and nobles send someone to supervise the situation, but he shut up in the middle of the sentence.

Because everyone in this link is making money, if you really dare to send someone to supervise, you will definitely end up committing suicide with seventeen kunai in your back every minute.

The bureaucrats and nobles in the ninja world are more courageous and more ruthless than the Riken military before Dohei traveled through time.

That's why this elite jounin of Xiao Ninja Village shut up.

If he had finished speaking, do you believe he would have committed suicide tomorrow morning? .

Let alone him, even Jiraiya, the Fifth Hokage, did not dare to say a word about this aspect.

The water is too deep!

"Since we can't delay it for a long time, we can only find reinforcements!"

Jiraiya took a deep breath.

He also understood that the best tactic was a war of attrition.

With the support of three major ninja villages, dozens of smaller ninja villages and the forces behind them, they are enough to destroy the castle tower.

But the logistics are hard to explain... and I can only find someone to help.

"As for reinforcements, as long as we agree to the terms of the Mist Ninja, they will blockade the castle tower from the sea!"

Qian Ximaru gave good news.

Mist ninja!

The other party has publicly announced to the major forces in the ninja world that because the daimyo and nobles of the Kingdom of Water encountered an "accident", they are taking charge of the Kingdom of Water.

If countries recognize this, they will take action against the castle tower.

If this news had been heard before the war started, the big names from all over the world would definitely join forces to tear apart Kirigakure Village.

But now due to the war situation, they could only block the news and prepare to take down the Kirikage Village after taking care of the castle tower.

But now that the situation is so unfavorable, we have to consider the Mist Ninja's proposal.

Now the castle tower is surrounded on three sides, with only the south facing the sea. Once it is completely blocked, it can definitely be captured quickly.

By then, it's not too late to deal with the Mist Ninja slowly.

Well, the daimyo’s calculations were very good.

The premise is to capture the castle tower.

If there is no way to win, not only cannot we attack the Mist Ninja, but we must appease and accept the other party.

It can only be said that the daimyo and nobles were also forced into a corner and chose the lesser of two evils.

Otherwise, it would be a complete dream to get them to agree to Mist Ninja's conditions.

Everyone knows the consequences of rejection.

The opponent must have 'joined' the castle tower to become their enemy.

It's already extremely difficult to deal with the castle tower. If the Mist Ninja joins the opponent's camp again, then the coalition forces should just go to sleep.

Therefore, when the coalition forces did not quickly solve the castle tower, they were already destined to agree to the Mist Ninja's request.

Although this does not affect their hostility to the Water Country controlled by the Mist Ninja, they must show their attitude on the surface.

At least it must be like this before falling out!

In this way, the Kingdom of Water can trade with the ninja world and obtain various resources, talents...etc., so that it can develop rapidly.

As for sealing off the castle tower? .

Of course I will!

The Mist Ninja is really capable of 'strictly sealing off' the castle tower, blocking the last gap from the sea, and not allowing any ships or troops to enter or exit from the sea at all.

But it can only do this, and the rest has nothing to do with the Mist Ninja.

As for the castle tower, the price paid was that maritime trade was cut off "overtly", but it was another matter in secret.

At this price, in exchange for the Kingdom of Water continuing to suck blood from the ninja world for them.

For example, some materials, resources, etc. can be obtained by transferring from the Kingdom of Water, and the same goes for the materials sold.

In other words.

The castle tower can completely fight bloody battles with the ninja alliance while trading with them and sucking their blood.

After knowing that the Mist Ninja reinforcements were about to join, everyone present regained their low morale and put forward suggestions one after another.

In general, it is to maintain a certain intensity of attack, and then attack again with full strength after the rest.

Jiraiya will seize the time and convince another powerful reinforcement to go directly.
