Konoha: This Uchiha just wants to lie down.

Chapter 790: Allied Forces: Our blockade is unbreakable!

Izumo Castle.

Located several hundred kilometers north of the castle tower.

This is the core of the coalition forces' blockade of the castle tower.

With this as the center, strongholds and fortresses spread out to both wings, forming a semicircular encirclement that locked the castle tower firmly inside.

The number of ninja troops stationed here alone is over 10,000.

Combined with the continuous reinforcement of several buildings, which have been transformed from temporary buildings into permanent empty towers, and the continuously thickening city walls, the city has directly turned into a war fortress.

A few kilometers to the south are the barbed wire fences, watchtowers, strongholds, etc. erected by the castle tower.

At this time, the construction there is still in full swing.

This is exactly what the coalition forces want to see.

Because doing so would mean that the Lieyang Kingdom had no intention of counterattacking.

cold war!

This means that apart from direct combat, both sides will use all means against each other.

Now the entire castle tower area is surrounded by water and no one can get through. All materials and people cannot flow.

At least that's what the intelligence says.

But in reality...given the character of the nobles, they would definitely understand everything.

All the people in the ninja village retreated.

They suffered heavy losses in this attack, so it was impossible for them to stay.

Therefore, the ninjas stationed on the coalition side were either guardian ninjas, ninjas from the ninja village, or monks, and there were no personnel from the ninja village.

In this way, the blockade line will be completely controlled by the nobles.

They were also worried that if the Ninja Village was connected to the Fiery Sun Country, they would be in danger, so even if the people of the Ninja Village did not retreat, they would not let them stay.

By the way, the supreme commander and main general of the coalition forces is none other than Qianxiwan, who is "mortally irreconcilable with the Lieyang Kingdom".

Don't think he got a bargain.

Because everyone knows that the position of the coalition leader is like a volcano.

Once the Lieyang Kingdom wants to attack, the first to suffer tragedy will be the other side.

So the strange thing is that among the three major countries, no one came out to grab the position.

And the reasons for recommending him are beyond words.

【Gain sufficient experience in fighting against the Lieyang Nation! 】

Although Qianximaru was defeated every time, at least he was able to survive, which is already a good result.

After he understood the strength of the Lieyang Kingdom, formerly the castle tower, his several defeats were no longer a shame, but an honor.

But not everyone can escape unscathed from others' hands.

After taking the position of commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Senkimaru was welcomed.

There is no other way. If they are not forced to enter the castle tower and fight to the death, and their welfare benefits have been greatly increased, who dares not to support him? Do you believe that "suffered from committing suicide by piercing 17 kunai in the back"?

As for where the money comes from? .

The coalition's logistics are provided by three major powers and dozens of small countries.

Although the bulk of the profits were divided up among the nobles, there was still some profit to be made.

In addition to the caravans that Chihimaru ignored, he was able to reap these profits.

Therefore, even if a few airships flew into the area controlled by the castle tower not far from the side of Izumo Castle, the people on the coalition side seemed to be "selectively blind".

After all, the other party paid!
As long as they get the money, they don't mind being blind for a while.

If it were the ninjas from the ninja village, they would definitely not want to play like this, but for these ragtag troops, it naturally doesn't matter.

I will be loyal to whoever gives me money.

Therefore, the blockade of the castle tower was completely "impenetrable", and this was the answer no matter who came.

If the daimyos want to send someone to check it out.

It's fine if you don't see the problem, but if you do see the problem, you can just pay money to keep them quiet. If money can't keep them quiet, then there's no way to keep them quiet.

Yes, the battlefield of the ninja world is so 'hardcore'.

In the sky.

Dohei looked at the Izumo Castle not far away, which had been turned into a fortress.

In the past, there was an Izumo Fortress in the southeast, and its name was borrowed from this city.

And this city can now be considered their "territory".

Because there are a lot of ninjas from Lieyang Country in this city, and the allied garrisons come from all the major forces anyway, no one is interested in finding out where the others are from. They can do this because they have someone to protect them.

Chihimaru!
With the help of the other party, these Fiery Sun Ninjas lurking in Izumo City are a standard coalition force. No matter who comes to investigate, they will only get this result.

All I can say is that the Ninja Alliance only knows how to use tricks and conspiracies, and has no idea what the "Cold War" is.

You will only earn more by engaging in a cold war, and at the same time you can also destroy the opponent's foundation.

For example, the dumping of food at crazy low prices.

Due to the Ninja World War, nobles and merchants have invested heavily in food.

Because in their opinion, as long as the Ninja World War breaks out, the price of basic supplies such as food will definitely increase.

They did the same thing during the previous Ninja World Wars and made a lot of money every time.

It can be said that the Ninja World War was extremely cruel for the ninjas.

But for nobles and businessmen, it is a rare opportunity to reap rewards.

It is through this kind of harvesting that the status of nobles and merchants has become increasingly unbreakable, and ordinary people have no chance of turning over.

But this time it's different!
Because of the huge amount of grain from the River Country, the Tea Country, and the Water Country, it is sold directly at low prices in each country.

The price may even be lower than usual food prices.

It sounds like Tang Ping and his team will lose money.

In fact, not only will they not lose money, but they will make a lot of profit.

Large-scale, mechanized cultivation not only has higher yields but also lower costs compared to cultivation in other parts of the Ninja World.

In addition to the difference in seeds and fertilizers, even if the selling price is much lower than the normal price, it is still a profit for the Lieyang Kingdom. The only question is how much profit.

It's time to let the ninja world see the power of "scale and industrialization".

In addition to grain, Tangping would also dump large-scale supplies such as salt, cloth, etc. at low prices.

Of course, the goods are not shipped from the castle tower, but from the Mist Shadow Village and the Sand Shadow Village.

As the coalition's 'allies', it is only natural for them to provide supplies to help their own people, isn't it?

Once the nobles and merchants discover that farming and producing these things are far less cost-effective than purchasing them directly, they will naturally choose to purchase them, and the right to speak in this regard will be in the hands of Tang Ping in the future.

Once you have the power to speak, there are plenty of ways to deal with these guys.

Give the simplest example.

Suddenly it was announced that due to the 'flood', the food production of the major chambers of commerce had plummeted.

It will directly cause the price of food in the ninja world to skyrocket, and may even cause riots within the coalition forces.

After all, I was starving to death, so how could I not cause trouble?

After the airship entered the area where the castle tower was located, everyone felt relieved.

It's finally safe.

"Remember, the airship must not deviate from the flight path!"

Dohei reminded Inuzuka Hana again and signaled her to command the tribesmen who were driving the airships.

The reason for the reminder was, of course, because the number of Sunshine Towers on the ground had increased by half.

These metal towers that can emit accumulated light are useless against ground targets, but they are extremely lethal to aerial targets.

The coalition forces also sent airships and flying units to attack sporadically, but in the end, except for a few strong ones, they were all shot down.

Compared to the ground, there is no place to dodge attacks in the air.

Once an airship or hang glider crashes, the users will naturally suffer tragedy.

It is precisely because of the Sunbright Tower that the castle tower does not need to defend a long air defense line.

Otherwise, if the coalition forces launched small-scale harassment from the air, even if they had overwhelming air superiority, the sporadic harassment from the enemy would be enough to make them run for their lives.

Soon after entering the castle tower area, a three-person flying team appeared.

Patrol!

The flying troops would patrol the flight routes on weekdays. After seeing that these airships were obviously not their own, they would naturally come to check.

There is nothing much to say about the process.

After seeing the appearance of Dohei, this team directly became an escort team, responsible for leading the airship to the castle tower.

At the same time, the information that Tang Ping had received was also sent back.

A distance of three hundred kilometers might take two or three days to advance on the ground.

But as for the airship, even the Fire Nation's hand-made version only took half a day and arrived at the destination in the evening.
