Chapter 945: Gentlemen, Offer Your Hearts!
Chapter 945: Gentlemen, Offer Your Hearts!
"When I was young!"
"Looking at those who had lost their loved ones in the war, weeping inconsolably before the memorial, I told myself that one day, I would put an end to it all!"
"Today is the day the millennium-long flames of war in the Ninja World will be extinguished!"
"This upcoming battle may be my only chance in this lifetime!"
"For peace and the will of the Scorch Sun Nation, gentlemen, offer your hearts!"
...
Tang Ping directly borrowed and adapted some famous lines from his previous life.
The effect was explosive.
"For the will of the Scorch Sun Nation!"
The thunderous voices nearly shook the Scorch Sun Building.
Seeing the passionate and enthusiastic Elite Jounin, one could sense the immense power of Tang Ping's speech.
At this moment, even if the Six Paths Sage stood before them, as long as Tang Ping gave the order, they would rush into battle without hesitation.
After a brief pause to let everyone's emotions settle, Tang Ping spoke again.
"Let's go!"
And with that, they set off.
Although his words were partly a playful reference, they also reflected his true feelings.
Having witnessed countless scenes of people weeping over the deaths of their loved ones, he was determined to change the Ninja World. This was why he established the Scorch Sun Nation, wanting to transform the world into the peaceful place he envisioned, where he could finally rest.
This upcoming battle was indeed their only chance.
If they didn't seize this opportunity, the Ninja World would remain a plaything for the Great Log Wood.
Whether they could rest easy and enjoy their silver parties in the future depended on the outcome of this battle.
After leaving the conference room, everyone gradually dispersed.
The plan for this operation had been meticulously prepared, and everyone knew their tasks. Now, they were here to understand the reason for their fight.
To end the war, bring peace to the Ninja World, and purify it with the will of the Scorch Sun Nation.
They were fighting for these goals.
Even though Tang Ping didn't explicitly state it, everyone knew that after this battle, there would be only one voice in the entire Ninja World.
The voice of the Scorch Sun Nation.
The corrupt and greedy nobles and daimyo would be swept into the trash heap of history, and the ninjas would unite as one force, never again engaging in such intense conflicts.
To put it bluntly, the wars in the ninja villages were instigated by the nobles and daimyo. As long as the ninjas didn't fight among themselves, they would never be at ease.
Once these instigators were purged, even if there were conflicts and grudges, there would be no more large-scale wars on the scale of the ninja villages.
At the port, countless fleets and airships crowded the area.
The chosen battlefield for the Thunder Country was just south of the ocean, with the nearest sea only a few hundred kilometers away.
Therefore, entering from the sea was the most suitable approach.
The fleets were not for transporting ninja troops but for carrying various logistics supplies.
Ninja tools, potions, food, and more.
Ninjas were not like the foot soldiers who could go into battle with just a long spear; they possessed immense combat power and, consequently, enormous logistical demands.
Additionally, the Scorch Sun Nation's fighting style meant they had significant logistical needs, hence the requirement for a fleet to transport supplies.
While airships could also transport supplies, this time, to save time, they would only carry the combat forces.
In the distant sky above the sea, a group of airships, already loaded with 10,000 flight squadrons, awaited.
The Kirov Airships! A total of fifty of them.
Of course, another super trump card force was in position but would not make a direct appearance. Instead, it would be held as a backup.
If the current regular forces could handle the situation, that would be ideal. If not, they would have to reveal their trump card.
Based on the original plot's power levels, the current regular forces could easily sweep through the combined forces of both sides during the final battle in the original story.
However, with the plot now spiraling out of control, Tang Ping couldn't rely on the original story's power dynamics. This was why he prepared several backup plans to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.
Caution is key to a ship's longevity, especially in the Ninja World, where LYB (likely an acronym for a notorious player or group) is prevalent. If one isn't careful, they are guaranteed to meet their end in a rhythmic manner.
It's like how Obito manipulated Nagato, Madara manipulated Obito, White Absolute manipulated Madara, and the Six Paths Sage manipulated White Absolute.
It's like a game of Werewolf.
Tang Ping is well aware that when it comes to scheming, he can't outmaneuver Rikudo.
After all, the other is over a thousand years old, and Tang Ping knows he can't compete with that kind of age and experience.
So, in the early stages, he kept a low profile, biding his time and gathering strength.
Once he felt ready, with his wings fully grown, and unable to hide any longer, he switched from defense to offense, using his advantage as a seer to prepare for a decisive strike against his opponent.
If schemes won't work, then it's time to get physical!
And when he made his move, he left himself no room for retreat.
Not only did he personally join the battle, but he also brought along all the elite warriors of the Scorch Sun Nation.
If this attempt failed, there would be no future to consider; he might as well find a place to lie down and wait for death.
Apart from the distant Kirov Airship fleet, numerous ninjas entered the prepared transport airships through the Clear Sky Tower.
These airships, produced in the Scorch Sun Nation, were superior to those of the Allied Forces in both carrying capacity and speed. With the Chakra Core, they didn't need to rely on wind currents and could reach their destination at maximum speed.
The number of ninjas deployed was 20,000!
Not a single one was missing, not a single mistake was made, and not a single one was left behind in the 691st book.
It's not that the Heavenly Fortress Tower only had this many, but that only this many could be spared.
Additionally, there were flight squadrons, fleets, and Kirov Airship units, bringing the total number of personnel to over 100,000.
This might not sound too exaggerated, but it's essential to consider the context of the world.
In the Ninja World, a battle involving a few hundred people could be considered a 'great war.'
An army of over a hundred thousand was practically capable of destroying heaven and earth.
What's key is that among them were several thousand ninjas.
Over 20,000 'little supermen'!
Indeed, if you consider ninjas as 'armored forces,' the sheer number becomes terrifying.
Just knowing that even the Cloud Ninjas, the most numerous among the Five Great Shinobi Villages, deployed less than 10,000 ninjas in this great war, gives you an idea of what it means to have 20,000 ninjas in a single force.
The Scorch Sun Nation of today is no longer the same as it was before, with just a few cats and dogs.
After the troops boarded the airships, hundreds of transport airships carrying the massive army set off, accompanied by fifty Kirov Airships as an escort fleet.
As for the seven ground-effect vehicles?
They would also join the battle, skimming along the sea surface to transport the first landing forces and arrive ahead of schedule.
After all, ground-effect vehicles are just too fast.
Tang Ping himself boarded the Scorch Sun Nation's flagship, leading half of the core members to rush towards the Land of Lightning.
Of course, it wouldn't be easy to conceal their movements.
But aren't they already under 'blockade'?
They could strengthen the blockade, not necessarily preventing all news from getting out, but at least causing interference and delays, ensuring that the Allied Forces or White Absolute couldn't spread the news immediately. By the time they realized what was happening, the need for secrecy might be gone.
Traveling from the Heavenly Fortress Tower to the Land of Lightning's waters is actually quite troublesome.
First, you have to go around the eastern Tea Country, then pass through the Wave Country, to reach the southern waters of the Land of Lightning.
The entire journey is at least nearly ten thousand nautical miles.
However, both the airships and ground-effect vehicles can bypass the narrow Tea Country and simply fly straight through, reducing the distance by nearly half.
Most importantly, neither the airships nor the ground-effect vehicles need to rest, and by traveling day and night, they can arrive swiftly.
For example!
The average speed of the airships is over 100 kilometers, so it would take only a few days to reach their destination.
If you switch to ground-effect vehicles, the speed becomes even more impressive.
With a flight speed of several hundred kilometers per hour, they can reach their destination in less than a day.
You could say that the journey, which used to take the ninja army several days to half a month or more, has become so 'close' after Tang Ping's transportation revolution.
On the ground-effect vehicles were the elite forces of various ninja clans, including the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Hozuki.
These elites had a heavy task: to infiltrate the battlefield, establish a foothold, and prepare for any unexpected situations.
After all, they had received significant support in the past, and it was only natural for them to step up during such times.
As time passed, the seven ground-effect vehicles finally entered the Land of Lightning.
