In the Iron Tower Fortress, as the battle continued, a strong smell of blood mixed with killing intent filled the sky. At this time, the color of the sky seemed to be dyed a little dark red.
On the ground, there were many corpses, but most of them were Samurai from the Land of Iron.
"Iaido!"
With a shout, Mifune killed another Tien Yin Ninja with a very fast Kenjutsu.
However, after completing this attack, Mifune's hand slowly trembled, and his chest was constantly moving up and down. Obviously, he had reached his limit.
On the battlefield, Samurai attacks rely on their body speed. Once their body reaches its limit, they are not far from death.
"Mifune sama, I'm afraid the fortress can't be defended, our Samurai suffered heavy casualties!"
Mifune stabbed his Kenjutsu into the ground to stabilize his body. When Mifune wanted to take a few breaths to rest, Rikaku, Osuke, and others came to his side and said urgently.
This time, there were only seven or eight hundred Samurai guarding the Iron Tower Fortress. The defense force was not very strong. In fact, Mifune originally thought that the Tien Yin Ninja Army would launch a tentative attack. He didn't expect that they would launch a fierce attack on the first day.
Glancing at everyone, Mifune sighed and said indifferently: "Withdraw to the capital."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Once they retreated, it would be a great blow to their morale.
"Mifune sama …" While they were puzzled, some people hurriedly said.
"I said, retreat!
Retreat now! "However, before these people could ask, Mifune's sharp eyes swept over them, and he said in a cold voice:" Go back to the capital and think of a way! "
Being swept by that pair of sharp eyes, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Immediately, they swallowed the questioning words in their mouths and spread out one by one, issuing the orders of the three ships to every corner of the Martial Warriors.
When Sasuke, Kimimaro, and others on the fortress looked at the Samurai who suddenly began to retreat like a tide, they were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, and no one knew what happened.
However, while they were still in a daze, the Tien Yin Ninja Army burst into earth-shattering cheers. They couldn't help but feel excited in their hearts. The cheers of victory went straight to the sky.
"If You Don't Kill Mister Lin, we have won the first battle …" Seeing the warriors retreat, Bai let out a long sigh of relief and said as though a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"We will definitely win."
If You Don't Kill smacked his lips, but there was still an unconcealable joy on his face. He knew very well that if the warriors of the Country of Iron continued to insist on fighting to the death, they might have to retreat first to avoid excessive casualties.
"No matter what, it's a good start." Waterstop rubbed his forehead and smiled.
"Hehe, Hehe … Hehe … After today, the reputation of the Heavenly Village and the Country of Heaven will be spread out. Taking down the Iron Tower Fortress on the first day is enough to make other ninja villages look at us with admiration."
A Tien Yin ninja said with a smile.
Hearing this, the other ninjas all smiled and nodded.
…
After the battle, the news that the Tien Yin Army took down the Iron Tower Fortress on the first day spread like wildfire throughout the ninja world.
For a time, various countries, and various villages were talking about this matter.
In this battle, the name of Tien Yin naturally spread to everyone's ears again, and with this, the Takigakure village that has been incorporated into the Tien Yin Village felt a sense of pride, and when the villagers talked to outsiders, they felt a little more confident.
After receiving the news, the Third Tsuchikage Onoki also held an emergency meeting in the conference hall.
In the hall, there weren't many people, but they were all members of the Rock Village.
Onoki sat at the head of the table and looked around the room. After talking casually, he said with a dignified face: "After losing the Iron Tower Fortress, the Country of Iron is now in danger!"
"I didn't expect the Tien Yin Army to be so strong, they took down the Iron Tower Fortress in just one day!"
Nodding, Elder Yonan suddenly sighed.
"Now the Tien Yin Army is so powerful, once they annex the Country of Iron, they will definitely threaten us."
At this time, Adviser Isashi, who has been advocating for the reinforcement of the Country of Iron, said seriously.
"Threaten us?
No way! "
Hearing this sentence, Onoki stared at Isashi with some shock.
"This is not an alarmist, the person who is now in charge of the Tien Yin Army is Uchiha Tomiyama, this person is very ambitious, and he will definitely continue to expand."
Looking at the expression of Onoki and the others, Isashi said solemnly.
Hearing this, Onoki immediately fell into contemplation, as a Tsuchikage, he naturally has to think further, he knows that if the Tien Yin Army continues to develop, it will definitely become stronger and stronger.
Tien Yin is not an enemy of the Rock Village, but he is afraid that there will be conflicts between the two villages in the future …
"In that case, send a ninja team to reinforce the Country of Iron!"
After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Onoki announced his decision after a while.
"Tsuchikage-sama, I don't object to reinforcing the Country of Iron, but we will have to sacrifice a lot of ninjas, the Country of Iron should spend more money to make up for it."
Onoki's decision, under normal circumstances, no one will object, but the conference hall was quiet for a while, then Elder Yonan suddenly said.
Looking at Elder Yonan, Onoki asked. "Then how much do you think should be reasonable?"
"Double the amount of the Country of Iron's promise."
Elder Yonan seemed to have already calculated it, and he responded with a smile.
"Elder Yonan is smart, there is no free lunch in the world."
"Yes, the Country of Iron should pay more!"
The other politicians didn't object, they all nodded in agreement.
In fact, Elder Yonan's approach is tantamount to looting a burning house, but everyone knows that in order to protect the Country of Iron, Mifune will definitely agree.
"Well, then I will immediately send someone to inform the Country of Iron, as long as they agree to double the amount of money, we will send reinforcements."
Seeing the greed of Elder Yonan and the others, Onoki shook his head helplessly and then agreed.
"Tsuchikage-sama, it will take a day to wait for the Country of Iron's reply, we can send the Ninja team first, otherwise, it will be bad if we delay the important matter."
He was also worried that the Tien Yin's ninja army would attack too fiercely, and the Country of Iron couldn't hold, so Jing Shi reminded him.
"Jing Shi, you are right!"
After Onoki's voice fell, Onoki nodded in agreement and then ordered, "Elder Yonan, after the meeting is over, you immediately gather 300 ninjas and let two elite Jonins lead the team to the Land of Iron."
"Tsuchikage-sama, don't worry, leave this matter to me!"
Elder Yonan stood up and responded respectfully.
