Chapter 453: I Don't Care What You Think, I'll Do What I Think!
Chapter 453: I Don't Care What You Think, I'll Do What I Think!
The Great Battle Concludes!
The Mist Ninja Army suffered heavy casualties, and the remaining Mist Ninjas surrendered, bringing the battle to an end.
Moreover, Dong Ping had made preparations in advance and directly blocked all communication channels.
That's right!
Even before the air force made its appearance, he had already dispatched people to intercept flying messengers and communication ninjas, and he also set up interference barriers, ensuring that even summoning beasts couldn't deliver messages.
Unless the Mist Ninjas had a special information channel, the intelligence from this great battle would remain unknown for the time being.
Of course, there might be some who slipped through the net.
After all, hiding in the vast ocean made it relatively easy to evade interception.
The issue was that Dong Ping didn't need to completely block the news; he just needed to buy some time.
Lightning Warfare!
He understood the advantages of this strategy.
With their overwhelming advantage, it was only natural to utilize it to the fullest.
Airborne Forces!
With the advantage of the First Strike Kill, they were virtually invincible.
With this advantage in hand, coordinating a lightning attack on the Mist Hidden Village would be enough to breach their defenses in one go.
As long as they could capture the Mist Hidden Village first, they would be able to calmly deal with any subsequent problems.
Crab Island Fortress!
"The others will be sealed and confined to the island with their chakra. After I capture the Mist Hidden Village, we can discuss how to deal with them!"
Dong Ping looked at the two people in front of him, Nagai Hideo and Lin Keinuyuri, and spoke of their fate.
Over a thousand Mist Ninjas was no small number.
It was because of them that they had brought a large number of sealing ninjutsu tools, which looked like handcuffs but were equipped with barriers, ensuring control over anyone below the Shadow Rank. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel at ease.
Without chakra, ninjas were like tigers without their fangs, unable to cause any real damage.
"You..."
Lin Keinuyuri couldn't hold back her anger, but she didn't know what to say.
She had truly not expected that their opponent would aim to capture the village instead of negotiating with it.
If this had been said before the enemy's air force appeared, she might have thought it was just a dream.
But after witnessing the devastating attacks of the airborne forces, she knew that if they weren't careful, the village could be destroyed.
At sea, they could hide in the water.
But for the village...
Thinking of those bombs descending from the sky, symbols of death and fire, Lin Keinuyuri's face turned ashen.
"Dong Ping, the village will surely compensate you for this defeat. There's no need to take such a risk, and the major powers won't want to see the Mist Hidden Village in danger!"
Nagai Hideo was well aware that at this stage, the Mist Hidden Village was truly incapable of withstanding such a formidable attack. So, he tried to 'persuade' them from another angle, with a hidden threat.
Yes, the attack on the Sky Fortress by the Mist Ninjas was something the nobility and Konoha would be happy to see.
If the Sky Fortress were to breach the Mist Hidden Village and there was a chance of success, they would never allow it to happen.
As soon as he realized this, he had already sent out news of today's battle.
Surely, the major powers would soon make their move?
(He didn't know about the blocked news!)
"Is that so?" Dong Ping sat at the head of the command room, surrounded by high-ranking officials, his aura filling the room. He looked at the two in front of him and said calmly, "If I capture the Mist Hidden Village, won't I be able to get any compensation I want?"
The reason he delayed here for a while was to prepare for subduing the two in front of him and to make some adjustments.
After drifting at sea for several days, it was only natural to resupply and adjust. At the very least, they needed to put away all the fighter jets before rushing to the Mist Hidden Village.
"But the major powers will never allow it, not even Konoha would agree to it!"
Nagai Hideo was getting anxious.
He didn't think they were joking, given their strength; they could indeed capture the Mist Hidden Village.
No matter how strong the traps and barriers were, they couldn't do much against such destructive attacks from the sky.
So, he could only try to change Dong Ping's mind.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Dong Ping wanted him to be anxious.
"Indeed, the major powers will never allow me to attack the Mist Hidden Village. But if I can capture it before they react, they won't be able to stop me, right?"
Dong Ping's eyes gleamed with a hint of amusement as he had the upper hand.
If the other party didn't care about the village, he would have no choice but to let them be.
But if they valued the village more than their own lives, manipulating them would be a piece of cake.
"You're right, but I think..."
Nagai Hideo was about to try and persuade him, but he was interrupted.
"I don't care what you think, I want what I think!" Dong Ping, in his 'domineering CEO' persona, declared, "If you don't want to see the Mist Village destroyed in a day, it's best to work for me!"
This was a moment of truth.
The Mist Village was the perfect tool to subdue the other party.
And with them on his side, he could better absorb the Mist Village.
Even though they had collaborated with Zhao Mei Ming multiple times, it didn't mean they were on his side.
So, Nagai Hideo was an excellent assistant.
With high prestige, strong abilities, and a neutral stance, he was loyal to the Mist Village.
He was the perfect tool, no less.
If Dong Ping only wanted to 'destroy' the Mist Village, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. But since he intended to annex it, he needed a 'proxy'.
A forceful takeover by the Sky Fortress' upper management would only incite dissatisfaction and internal strife.
Indeed, even though Dong Ping hadn't yet taken control of the Mist Village, he was already planning for its assimilation.
"I will never betray the village!"
Nagai Hideo refused adamantly.
His surrender earlier was to ensure the survival of the remaining Mist Ninjas, not a true surrender.
At the same time, he didn't believe that Dong Ping could take over the Mist Village.
It wasn't a matter of insufficient combat power!
Rather, with his warning, the various powers should have employed all means to resist.
The village should also have received the alert, and the Sky Fortress' flight squad would never be able to cause such devastating damage again.
Dong Ping understood Nagai Hideo's thoughts, but he didn't expose them.
If they didn't see it for themselves, they would never give up.
"It's about time, let's go!"
Dong Ping stood up and led the group out of the command room.
Next, they would launch a blitzkrieg on the Mist Village.
"Wait!"
"Hey!"
However, facing Dong Ping's actions, both Nagai Hideo and Rin Keinuyuri were at a loss.
Shouldn't they continue to persuade them?
After such a brief conversation, why were they suddenly being left behind?
The team left the fortress and saw the Radiant Sun Fleet, which had just finished recovering and refueling the fighter jets.
"This..."
Rin Keinuyuri couldn't believe her eyes.
She had been surprised by the dozen ironclad warships she saw earlier.
But now?
Those dozen ironclad warships seemed much smaller compared to the massive aircraft carriers.
It was like the difference between a lion and a hunting dog.
Nagai Hideo, however, had more on his mind. His gaze swept the runway of the aircraft carriers, and he understood where the flight squad had come from.
"I never imagined that the Sky Fortress could develop something like this!" he exclaimed softly.
Dong Ping, hearing this, smiled and said, "No, it's 'our' Sky Fortress!"
His words were filled with confidence because, with the other party joining the Sky Fortress, he could indeed say 'our'.
"You will never succeed!"
Nagai Hideo remained steadfast in his belief.
Undoubtedly, the village was already preparing defense measures.
As long as they delayed Dong Ping, the other powers would react, and the Sky Fortress, no matter how strong, couldn't challenge the entire Ninja World alone.
"Is that so!"
Dong Ping responded mysteriously, then smiled silently at the other party.
Soon, their last bit of confidence would be shattered by him, and they would become 'one of his own'.
Before long, the team boarded the ship and set off.
