Chapter 287: declare war
Chapter 287 Declaration of War
The raid is over.
Ayane is generally somewhat dissatisfied with the statistics of the attack results of the Sand Hidden Troops in Windmill Town.
Of the 50 air combat ninjas dispatched, 21 of them lost their aircraft. Although there were no fatalities due to the protection system of the aircraft, 21 aircraft were actually lost.
According to the initial estimate, Ayane believed that the loss of aircraft would be between ten and fifteen.
Regardless of how many people Sha Yin lost, the loss rate of the aircraft was nearly one-third more than expected, which is a relatively unsuccessful operation.
Such a result cannot make people happy at all.
However, Ayane had no intention of punishing, but the Oni no Kuni Jōnin who served as the squadron leader reprimanded the returning ninjas before disbanding, and re-equip the ninjas who lost their flying machines with flying machines.
There are a total of 100 aerial combat ninjas gathered here, and they bombed Windmill Town in two batches in turn until the Sand Hidden Army in Windmill Town can no longer resist and withdraw from Windmill Town. This is the main purpose of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
"Then, do you want to go over and make a detailed statistics of Sand Hidden's battle damage, Ayane-sama?"
Junin Oni no Kuni, who is the squadron leader, asked.
Ayayin clasped her hands in front of her chest, opened her eyes, looked up at the distant Windmill Town, and had a panoramic view of the situation there.
Shaking his head to the squadron leader, he said, "No need, I already know about Sand Yin's battle damage, and it's clear in front of Bai Yan. This time Sha Yin sacrificed a total of 79 ninjas, 37 of whom were seriously injured, and 90 were slightly injured."
Accurately and easily described the battle damage of Sha Yin, which made the squadron leader give a helpless wry smile.
He suddenly forgot that Ayane still has white eyes. Even with a super high-performance aircraft, which can clearly detect the enemy's defense situation in the sky, but in front of Ayane's white eyes, it still doesn't look enough.
Although the source of the news is inaccurate, the observable range of Ayane's supercilious eyes is at least a distance of fifteen kilometers...
This is very scary.
Generally, the observation range of the white eyes is basically within the radius of one kilometer to two kilometers. The holders of the white eyes whose observation range exceeds the radius of more than two kilometers are basically very powerful ninjas of the Hyuga clan.
Before sending pilots to the skies over Windmill Town, in addition to detecting the enemy situation, Ayane also wanted to assess the pilot's ability to detect the enemy situation and how much it deviates from the correct answer.
Air combat units do not mean invincible. In many cases, it is necessary to send personnel to conduct investigations first to spy on the enemy's air-to-air capabilities in order to better deploy air strikes.
Originally, a ballista, a weapon that doesn't have much military technology, can't pose any threat to the pilots of the ghost country even if the range is too long and the accuracy is high. But as long as there are detonating symbols attached to the bow and arrow, the power is completely out of the same order.
"Tomorrow morning at 6:00, let the other five teams launch an attack on the Sand Hidden Army in Windmill Town. This time, I will go there to observe the battle in person."
"Yes. Then, do we need to issue a pre-war notice letter to Sand Yin in advance this time?"
"No, even if we don't issue the notice letter, they are now ready to fight us anytime, anywhere. Just prepare like this."
Ayane gave some instructions, then turned and walked into the tent.
◎
Indeed, as Ayane predicted, after the air strike, Machi had already predicted that the conflict between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Demons can only be resolved through war.
General peace talks can no longer be used to resolve the conflict between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts, unless a powerful third party intervenes to stabilize the negotiation between the two parties.
But for now, Yanyin and Yunyin, who are in a wait-and-see attitude, seem to have no intentions in this regard. Instead, they hope that the conflict between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts will erupt on the largest scale.
In this way, not only can the depth of the ghost kingdom be tested, but also the power of Sha Yin can be depleted.
However, this is also in line with the expected result of Sha Yin. Although the execution process is not perfect, as long as the war is finally won, then Sha Yin will still stand on the side of justice, and the behavior of the ghost kingdom will become unreasonable.
At that time, the kingdom of ghosts will also be ruled by the kingdom of wind.
For the kingdom of ghosts, this is a battle that bets on the fate of the country, but for the kingdom of winds, it is nothing more than a small-to-medium scale local conflict.
In this way, it will be fiercely resisted and counterattacked by the ghost kingdom, which is completely within Maji's expectation.
The only thing that he didn't expect was that the air combat force of the ghost country would be more difficult than he imagined after it took shape.
Even if preparations were made in advance, there were still about two hundred casualties.
Seventy-nine people lost their lives in the fighting.
This is not a good start for Markey.
Because the enemy is attacking in the air, many ninjutsu and ninja fighting skills become meaningless in this war.
What can come in handy is the ultra-long-range tool such as the ballista, which was not valued by Sha Yin in the past.
Maki implemented the post-war order in an orderly manner, and properly arranged the casualties, but he dared not be careless about the sky.
The strategic layout of the Kingdom of Ghosts may be immature and moody like a child, but sophisticated weapons and equipment can make them ignore this part of the defect.
Maki felt that he should pay attention to the next battle, instead of blindly belittling and belittling the high-level military of the ghost country from a strategic point of view.
Just like that, the second half of the night passed peacefully.
…
The sun has not yet risen, and the members of Ayane's unit stationed in the Great Forest of the Oni Country have already got up early and started to enjoy breakfast in order not to waste the time of the air raid in the morning.
The fifty ninjas who will be in charge of the morning air raid later are sitting together in a simple tent that has been set up, sitting in front of their own dining seats. On each dining table, there are freshly baked white bread, jam, salad, milk, and hot canned meat. The meals are quite rich and balanced in nutrition.
They wiped out the food as quickly as possible, then walked to the warehouse, picked up the aircraft with their own number, put it on the back, and pulled the switch, so that their backs fit tightly with the aircraft, as if they were integrated.
The meridian system of the body also reacts with the functional system inside the aircraft, making it easier for them to master these aircraft.
Then they got to the landing pad.
It was a small silver-white metal square with a mechanical texture laid out on the ground.
A total of five flight tracks are set up on the square. At the starting point of each track, there is a huge metal launcher, which is bonded to the track. The metal launcher can also supply energy to the aircraft that consumes energy. In the shortest time, the energy of the aircraft can be replenished to the maximum.
Fifty people need to be launched in batches of ten times.
Without much hesitation, the ninjas of the Ghost Kingdom carried aircraft and stabilized their bodies on the launcher. The sound of machinery and atmosphere roaring together came from their ears. Although it was not loud, it could make people who heard the sound tremble.
When the figure was ejected by the launcher like lightning, sparks and electric currents appeared on the track, and the figure had disappeared from the track and began to fly high into the sky.
There is a gentle airflow around the aircraft, and with the help of the strong physique of the ninja, when it rubs against the atmosphere violently, it basically feels no pain.
Afterwards, every pilot who flew into the high altitude adjusted his body shape and skillfully balanced his body in the high altitude. It took less than three seconds before and after to complete such a difficult operation.
This is a balance skill that they have learned long ago when they were students. It does not require too much thinking to operate, just like an instinct engraved in the body.
At this time, the first rays of the sun also rose from the east.

Eating some cold rice balls, or padding their stomachs with Bingliang pills, for the Sand Hidden troops who are alone, the less time they eat, the better.
Because of the air strike last night, it has broken the inherent fighting mode of ninja in their hearts, and left a deep psychological shadow in their hearts.
Although facing the air raid, they showed a very good fighting will, but it can only be regarded as a well-matched battle, successfully repelling the air combat troops of the ghost country that came from the air raid.
In order to cope with air strikes that may occur at any time, the time for eating will naturally become tighter.
Although the taste of the rice **** and Bingliang Wan is not good, but they can fill the stomach quickly, so they don't care about so much.
The most important thing is that they can't get out of the 'shelter' of Windmill Town now.
Once the building bunkers in Windmill Town are lost, their formation can easily be disrupted by the air combat troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts on the endless plain, and they will become their live targets in the air.
This is also the reason why Maji did not withdraw his troops, but also defended in Windmill Town.
Relying on the bunker in Windmill Town, they can still fight against the air combat troops of the Kingdom of Ghosts. If they lose the favorable terrain, the consequences will be disastrous.
Furthermore, after last night's air strike in the Kingdom of Ghosts, Markey has figured out the capabilities of air combat in the Kingdom of Ghosts. Although the firepower is fierce, it is not irresistible.
As long as you make good use of the surrounding bunkers, the enemy's bombing capabilities will be greatly reduced.
While most of the sand hermit ninjas were eating breakfast, suddenly the familiar buzzing sound of the machine approached my ears from far to near.
The sand ninjas immediately ate all the food in their hands, then walked to their corresponding positions and looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, with the morning light as the background, black dots whirled in the air at high speed, and began to approach the sky above Windmill Town.
Maki also learned from the report of the perception ninja that there were 50 members of the Ghost Kingdom's air force who attacked in the morning, just like last night.
Maki frowned. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
But at this time, he didn't have much free time to think about anything. He immediately connected with the radio, organized the sand hidden ninjas with combat effectiveness, and fired arrows carrying detonating symbols into the air.
The scene of the battle was exactly the same as last night. The difference was that the way Sand Yin dealt with the sky was sharper than last night, and Maji commanded Sand Yin ninjas to fight more and more easily.
As long as you are familiar with the enemy's attack mode, all that remains is to find the gap in the opponent's formation.
Maki looked at the fifty ghost country ninjas circling in the sky, and the tension in his heart eased a little.
A hole opened under the wing of the aircraft, and the dark light was full of coldness.
Afterwards, the Kunai in the hole immediately shot out like an arrow from the string. On the handle of Kunai, a special detonating symbol was rolled up, and it ruthlessly fell from the sky and fell to the ground.
The street was dug up again, the reddish-brown soil kept flying, the trees were swaying here and there, and some of them were turned into charcoal in the burst of fire, which also caused casualties to the sand hidden ninjas who were affected by the explosion shock nearby.
Maki commanded in a calm and unhurried manner. Although he feels sorry for Sa Yin's sacrifice, this is what fighting is all about.
The air firepower of the ghost country is too fierce, which was expected, and sacrifices are inevitable.
"Next, it's time for you to play."
Maki said to the four ninjas beside him with a serious expression.
These four sand hidden ninjas stood up. The reason why they didn't do anything last night was to test the air firepower of the ghost country, the specific heights of the ninjas flying in the air, and what level their maneuverability reached.
"How about it, are you confident to take it down?"
"I don't know, after all, there is that kind of troublesome protective barrier, and the detonating symbol brought into the air by the bow and arrow will also hinder our actions."
"It's okay, I will take care of it."
Mackey blew on the radio set on his lips, then took a deep breath.
"Understood, let's also appear in the next battle."
One of them nodded and started to act, and the other three sand hidden ninjas also followed suit.
They took out their own scrolls from the ninja bag and spread them out on the ground. Along with the white smoke, hard wooden dolls appeared one after another.
The four sand hidden ninjas let go of their ten fingers without hesitation, and used chakras to control the summoned puppet.
I saw the puppets connected by Chakras floating off the ground as if they had life, flying towards the sky in violation of the laws of nature.
The ninjas of the ghost country in the sky also noticed this scene, and their brows could not help but frown.
Puppet mechanism?
The puppet mechanism in Hidden Sand Village can be said to be unique in the ninja world.
But the puppet that can fly to such a height is really an eye-opener.
Ordinary puppet dolls, under the control of the puppeteer, can move at low altitudes is already very remarkable, and their position, no matter how you look at it, is a high-altitude position that cannot be touched by conventional ninjutsu.
It is specially to deal with the ultra-long-range offensive puppet masters they specially dispatched.
It is indeed a good way to deal with enemies in the air.
In order to make the four puppet masters fight without any scruples, Ma Ji had to concentrate all his energy on the battle command.
It is true that Sand Yin does face some disadvantages in the face of the air force of the Oni Land.
But this disadvantage can be slowly equalized now.
For Machi, it is completely unrealistic to wipe out the air force of the Oni Land, and being able to repel them means the victory of Hidden Sand.
…
"The ninja of Sand Hidden is more difficult to deal with than imagined."
On the edge of the cliff, there is a lush forest underneath.
Junin Onimuni, who is the squadron leader, frowned subconsciously when he saw that the air force was blocked with military binoculars.
"After all, they are the five great powers with deep foundations. It is expected that they can make corresponding deployments so quickly. This is the power of the five great powers. Even if the technology is not good, their ninja qualities are outstanding."
After Ayane opened her eyes, she could directly see the overall situation and knew the battle situation in Fengche Town like the back of her hand.
"Should they be called back and redeployed?"
Sand Yin’s actions were a bit unexpected. I didn’t expect that there was a puppet master who could carry out ultra-long-range attacks.
"No, this is originally part of their mission. For them, absorbing experience is the most important thing. If it is really for victory at the beginning, it is enough for me to surround this hidden sand army by myself."
The corners of Ayane's mouth curled up, completely unconcerned with how strong Sand Yin's resistance was.
The banner representing the victory of the ghost country has already been erected, so there is no need to rush to swallow the Sand Hidden troops staying in the ghost country.
Different from the Five Great Nations that have experienced three Ninja World Wars, the Oni Country has not experienced any decent wars before.
Although there are usually a lot of simulated battles, it is still a simulated battle after all, not a real fight in actual combat.
The blood and fire on the battlefield are the best nourishment for soldiers to grow.
What the army of the ghost country lacks is not strength, nor is it lacking in armaments and logistical resources. What it lacks is the will to truly cross the battlefield and face life and death without fear of blood and fire.
Although in the past, the Kingdom of Ghosts secretly used the underground black market platform to let some ninjas go out to practice and be taken care of by Xuanyuan, but that kind of training is still a drop in the bucket for the Kingdom of Ghosts, which has a huge ninja base, and it is not commendable at all.
Only the battlefield of a big country is the real battlefield.
If the kingdom of ghosts cannot even pass this level, then, no matter how strong the three of them are, the regime of the kingdom of ghosts will collapse in the near future.
The battle with the Kingdom of Wind is the best opportunity for actual combat exercises.
If you miss this opportunity, the next Kingdom of Winds will not appear, so that the Kingdom of Ghosts can have sufficient training and experience here.
Because of this, it is necessary to control the situation on the initial battlefield and maintain the delicate balance of 'evenly matched'.
"After an hour, let them come back, and I will leave it to you."
"Yes, please rest assured, my lord."
Jonin, who is the squadron leader, nodded solemnly.
◎
After one hour.
After two rounds of bombing, the building complex in Windmill Town suffered more serious damage. The ground was covered with charred clods, and the power supply facilities on the edge of the town were completely destroyed, with black smoke rising into the sky.
Seeing the orderly evacuation of the air force in the land of ghosts, Maji always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't detect what went wrong for a while.
Because the puppet masters capable of ultra-long-range attack also joined the ranks of the battle, in this exchange of fire with the air force of the ghost country, generally speaking, Sayin has the advantage.
Although the advantage is not obvious, and the loss is relatively large, as long as they can hold their ground and repel the air force of the ghost country, this is the greatest victory for Maji.
And after two fights, Mackey also has a better understanding of the air strike mode of the Ghost Kingdom's air force.
"How about the loss?"
Maki saw that the puppeteers around him summoned his puppet back and asked about the situation.
A puppeteer smiled wryly and said: "It is more difficult than expected. Although the hardness of the puppet is comparable to steel, the enemy's firepower is also very fierce. In particular, we must pay attention to our own attacks. Generally speaking, it is still not satisfactory. It can only play a role in restraining part of the firepower."
Maki sighed, and looked at the recalled puppet dolls. Basically, they were all tattered images, and the repair work was very cumbersome.
It is very troublesome to be uncertain when the enemy will take an offensive strategy next time.
"This has nothing to do with Master Maji. It is mainly because we are cooperating for the first time, and there will inevitably be some errors."
The puppeteer mistakenly thought that Ma Ke was blaming himself for his wrong operation.
In fact, from the perspective of the puppet masters, Maji's command has tried their best to make their puppets avoid their own firepower and concentrate on attacking the enemy in the air.
This is mainly because there is a time error in the cooperation between the two parties.
The time error in this part will make their attack trajectories overlap sometimes.
The detonating symbols on the arrows will crowd out the attacking space of the puppet doll and hinder the puppet's actions.
This is also something that can’t be helped. Only the Yamanaka Clan of Konoha Ninja Village can solve this problem perfectly.
It can remotely connect everyone's spiritual space, so that all ninjas can cooperate perfectly and uniformly.
This is a gap that Markey cannot make up by relying on his brain.
Skills are very important talents for ninjas.
If it were Konoha, with the Yamanaka clan and the Nara clan, it would never be as difficult to deal with the air force of the kingdom of ghosts as their Sagakure.
The Yamanaka Clan can carry out tactical chaining, while the Nara Clan can act as the brain or use shadow techniques to limit the mobility of the air force in the Kingdom of Ghosts.
As long as the shadow of the aircraft is captured by the Nara family, it means that there will be a dangerous situation of crashing.
"I'm not worried about these, I don't know why, I always have a bad feeling."
Mackey sighed.
"Didn't Master Maki already send someone to send a message back to the village? After that, Master Kazekage will take some action."
The puppeteer said.
"The request for reinforcements from the village is much earlier than the original plan. According to the village's thinking, it didn't intend to continue the stalemate with the ghost country at the beginning, but hoped that our vanguard would give the ghost country a head-on blow, and then press with a large force to end the battle at once with an absolute advantage."
However, the current situation is that the Kingdom of Ghosts has put up a very tenacious resistance against them.
Moreover, the air force of the ghost country completely restricted them to the place of Windmill Town, which was a dilemma.
This is something Markey didn't expect.
"Don't worry about it, it's nothing more than ending this war early."
The puppeteer answered in this way.
The vanguard force composed of a thousand sand hidden ninjas is a temptation.
As long as the specific strength of the ghost country is tested, then the next step is that Shayin Village should start to attack with an army, striving to win the final victory in a round of war.
Although the actual situation here deviates from the original plan, it does not hinder the final direction.
The stronger the Demon Country is, the stronger it means that Sha Yin's reinforcements will be dispatched earlier, and the end of the war will also be earlier.
In order to control the scale of the war as much as possible, instead of evolving into the third ninja world war, the best solution is to form a full-scale conflict from a local area and resolve it quickly.
After all, the position of neutral countries must also be considered. As for the subsequent interest negotiations, they can only be handed over to the politicians from the Daming Prefecture.
By then, Shayin Village will also get a share of the action.
"I hope so, I hope the village will make a decision as soon as possible."
Maki nodded, and whether to advance or retreat next depends on how the village decides.
◎
"The official announcement of the declaration of war with the Kingdom of Wind is announced, and it is time to give a complete explanation to the people in the country."
Baishi handed the declaration of war to the Kingdom of Wind signed with his name to the staff of the subordinate department in front of him.
"yes."
Bowed slightly to Shiraishi, and then the ghost country ninja left the office directly, conveyed Shiraishi's order to various departments as quickly as possible, and then announced the decision of the ghost country military to every town in the country.
And the declaration of war between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Kingdom of Wind was officially established to all countries.
Constitute the equation for the establishment of the declaration of war. From the moment Sand Yin crossed the Hell Valley of the Bear Country and captured the territory of the Windmill Town, it already means that the Ghost Country can take necessary legitimate military actions against the Wind Country.
The reason why the announcement was not issued immediately was because Shiraishi wanted to brew the atmosphere of the people in the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Facing the unreasonable entry and occupation of the territory by Sha Yin, most people in the country are very emotional, and most people feel dissatisfaction in their hearts, and this dissatisfaction is directed at the Kingdom of Wind.
It has long been a tacit fact that big countries bully small countries.
It’s just that in the past, the Kingdom of Ghosts was protected by witches. Except for monsters and monsters, it has never been invaded by foreign enemies.
But the unreasonable troubles of the great powers have seriously damaged the national sovereignty of the ghost country. Not only the people, but also many nobles and businessmen are also worried. If the ghost country loses this war, their interests will also be violated.
Although there are conservatives, I hope that the witches will come forward, and peace with the Land of Winds is the most important thing.
However, while retaining a pessimistic attitude, most nobles and businessmen hope that the military can make a difference. At least they should not lose too badly, so as not to cede too many benefits to the Kingdom of Wind during negotiations.
Relying on the excellent business environment of the ghost country, their wealth is not only guaranteed, but also getting richer. If the ghost country loses in the war, it will definitely have a huge impact on the business of the ghost country. The wind country not only violates the sovereignty of the ghost country, but also the living space of nobles and businessmen.
Because the business environment of the ghost country is unique to them, and there is currently no country that can replace it in the ninja world.
After experiencing such a thing, the merchants and nobles in the ghost country will also know the importance of having a strong military force.
The most important thing is that the series of actions of the Kingdom of Winds have successfully mobilized the resistance of most people in the country.
This is what Shiraishi wants to see the most.
In this way, declaring war on the Land of Winds has become a just war of course.
To seduce, declare war, expand.
The plan is now officially entering its second phase.
From partial conflict to full-scale conflict.
From passive at the beginning, prepare for active war.
"The conditions have been met, and Liuli can officially start from Xingnin Village."
Baishi tilted his head slightly and looked out of the window. There were white clouds floating under the blue sky, which was the direction of the Kingdom of Fire.
His name was signed on the declaration of war against the Kingdom of Wind.
It was also the first time he disclosed the name of the military leader of the ghost country.
This incident will reach the ears of Konoha's senior management within three days.
By that time, who will come to negotiate?
Or is it joint pressure from the rest of the Ninja Village?
Baishi smiled lightly, sat on the chair, took a sip of tea calmly, without feeling nervous in his heart, but opened his mouth to the air.
"Then, when the time comes, the job of guarding will be handed over to you..."
Behind him, a figure appeared like a ghost.
Holding a spear wrapped in a white bandage in his hand, on the white bandage, there are densely packed black eyeballs, like living things.
"Yes, Father."
