Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

"Senior, let's begin!" Qingwu immediately gave the order to attack.

The four and a half centaurs started moving at the same time, their iron hooves pounding the ground like muffled thunder.

Qingwu didn't let them scatter, but instead formed a loose cone-shaped formation, with spears held horizontally, blocking Kakashi's front and flanks from dodging.

"So fast!"

Kakashi's gaze narrowed slightly as he faced the centaur head-on for the first time, and he became cautious.

He did not choose to take the hit head-on.

Instead, just as the spear reached him, he ducked low and slid through the bellies of the two centaurs, almost touching the ground.

At the same time, he braced his hands on the ground and kicked out with his legs in a scissor-like motion.

"Bang! Bang!"

The two centaurs were hit precisely in the knee joints of their forelegs, and they staggered and fell with a yelp.

The formation broke instantly.

So strong… Qingwu’s mouth gaped slightly. He had expected that the centaur was no match for Kakashi.

However, Kakashi was able to easily defeat two centaurs, demonstrating that he was also quite skilled in taijutsu.

Well, he was someone who had practiced the Eight Gates Formation, even if he only mastered one of them...

Without time to think, Qingwu gave the other two centaurs a command, and the centaurs that had already charged forward turned around and thrust their spears back at the same time.

Kakashi had just stood up when the spear tip was already at his back.

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, he made a light side spin, dodged the spear tip, and with lightning speed placed his hands on the spear shaft, pulling it with the help of the spear.

The centaur was propelled forward, and Kakashi leaped up, stepping onto the back of one of the horses to land behind it.

Centaurs have extremely high straight-line speed, but their agility is average.

Qingwu did not continue to send the centaurs to attack, but waited for the dwarves, who were much slower, to get closer.

At this moment, the other two centaurs who had fallen were also caught and helped together.

Four centaurs and two dwarves stood in a row.

Qingwu was thinking.

This was actually his first time commanding a joint operation involving different branches of the armed forces.

When he last repelled the Root ninjas, he was unconscious and was commanded by a level 5 Drywood Guardian.

"Have it!"

Qingwu made a new attempt, dividing the centaurs into pairs, just like in the game, and having them charge from two different directions in a staggered fashion.

At the same time, a dwarf followed behind the centaur formation, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Kakashi remained silent and cautiously charged forward.

"boom!"

The dwarf immediately swung his hammer in a wide, powerful sweep, forcing him to jump back.

"Interesting." Kakashi's eyes lit up.

He changed his strategy, no longer trying to break through head-on, but instead using his absolute flexibility to move around the dwarves and centaurs like a ghost.

Each time it was a feint, luring the dwarves to swing their hammers and the centaurs to raise their spears.

"Is this guy trying to exhaust the stamina of the spirit creatures?" Qingwu almost burst out laughing.

Chapter 19 The Dwarves' Fighting Power

Judging from the mining activities of the centaurs and dwarves.

The summoned creature is a "perpetual motion machine".

Kakashi's strategy undoubtedly failed.

After a series of skirmishes, he discovered that the dwarves and centaurs' attacks remained steady and sharp.

call out!

Kakashi temporarily withdrew from the battle and slowly looked towards Qingwu.

Qingwu: ? ?

Are they going to deal with me, the "summoner," again? No way!?

But then Kakashi took off the ninja sword from his back.

However, he did not draw his sword; instead, he charged forward again with his sheathed ninja sword in hand.

Qingwu: "..."

Kakashi, having changed his strategy, launched highly targeted attacks.

He had already discovered that dwarves were strong, but their attack and turning speeds were slow.

Kakashi feigned an attack on the centaur, but in reality, he began to "trick" the dwarf.

A moment later, taking advantage of the dwarf's slight slowness due to frequent turning, he instantly cut into the inner circle.

"Boom!"

The sheathed ninja sword struck a centaur on the back of the neck.

The centaur, struck by the impact, collapsed to the ground.

Temporarily out of contact, but not dead... Qingwu then realized that summoned creatures could also be stunned.

This discovery also secretly relieved Kakashi.

Otherwise, without using ninjutsu, he really wouldn't know how to deal with these strange summoned creatures.

"Boom!"

"Thump!" "Thump!"

Following the same method, Kakashi found an opening and quickly stunned the other three centaurs as well.

however……

When he tried to use the same trick to stun the dwarf, he encountered a problem.

"puff!"

The dwarves' body structures seemed different, and the sounds from striking the back of their necks were all different.

Kakashi struck the same spot twice in a row, but...

The dwarf still brandished his warhammer with great enthusiasm.

"boom!"

The warhammer slams into the ground, the shockwave spreads—pure power and skillful application of force.

Kakashi was having a bit of a headache.

Qingwu didn't care about the centaur losing its fighting ability.

As a Tier 1 cannon fodder unit, its purpose is simply to harass the enemy.

Moreover, these "glass cannons" in the ninja world, with high attack but low defense, can kill a ninja with a single kunai, and naturally, a spear can too.

He focused on directing the two dwarves, making them stand back to back, with their massive warhammers protecting their front.

"Senior, you can try using ninjutsu, but don't use anything too powerful," Qingwu called out.

He wanted to test the dwarves' actual combat defensive capabilities.

As one of only two defensive units in the Bastion faction, before the appearance of the Deadwood Guardians, the Dwarves were the only ones who could protect ranged units in the early game.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Kakashi ignored Qingwu's advice and attacked several more times with his sheathed ninja sword.

He found that he simply couldn't "break through" the defenses.

The dwarf's melee skills are quite good, and even when he uses his speed to strike the dwarf, the ninja sword, which is like a "stick," seems to have little effect.

rustling!

Kakashi didn't hesitate any longer, stepped back and quickly formed hand seals, "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In the firelight, Qingwu's excited yet nervous gaze was reflected.

"boom!"

Kakashi's Great Fireball, which reduced his chakra output, engulfed two "living targets".

"It's over!" Kakashi stood up straight and said, "I'm sorry you lost two summoned creatures!"

Qingwu ignored him, her gaze fixed on the two dark figures that had not fallen.

Kakashi seemed to sense something and turned to look in the direction where the fire jutsu had exploded.

"Impossible!" Kakashi's pupils contracted sharply.

As the smoke cleared, the two dwarves' beards were charred black, but they still took two steps forward as Qingwu instructed.

"As expected!" Qingwu's gaze was intense.

In the game, dwarves are born with 40% magic resistance, and ninjutsu is undoubtedly an elemental attack.

We held on!

As expected, it is the unit with the best defense among all the Tier 2 units of all factions in the game.

The only downside is its slow speed.

This is quite fatal in the ninja world; "living targets" are easily eliminated by ninjutsu, Qingwu thought regretfully to himself.

"How is this possible?!" Kakashi was still astonished.

Even though he didn't use much chakra in his Fire Release technique, the dwarf who looked like a humanoid creature was still alive.

Immediately, he, disbelieving in superstition, spread his hands and formed a mudra.
