The streets were dug up again, reddish-brown soil continued to fly, trees swayed here and there, and some were turned into charcoal in the burst of fire, which also caused casualties to the nearby Sunagakure ninjas who were affected by the explosion.

Maki commanded calmly. Although he felt sorry for Sunagakure's sacrifice, that's what fighting is all about.

The aerial firepower of the Ghost Country was too fierce, which was expected, and sacrifices were inevitable.

"Next, it's your turn."

Makki said to the four ninjas beside him with a serious expression.

The four Sunagakure ninjas stood up. The reason why they did not take action last night was because they wanted to test the aerial firepower of the Demon Country, the specific height of the ninjas flying in the air, and what their mobility capabilities were.

level.

"How about it, are you confident in taking it down?"

"I don't know. After all, there is that troublesome protective barrier, and the detonating talisman carried into the air by bows and arrows will also hinder our actions."

"It doesn't matter, I will take charge."

Markie blew on the radio device placed to his lips, and then took a deep breath.

"I understand, let's take part in the next battle."

One of them nodded and started to take action, and the other three Sunagakure ninjas also followed suit.

They each took out their own scrolls from their ninja tool bags and spread them out on the ground. Along with the white smoke, hard wooden dolls appeared one after another.

The four Sunagakure ninjas released their ten fingers without hesitation and used chakra silk to control the summoned puppet.

I saw the puppets connected by chakra threads, floating off the ground as if they had life, flying towards the sky in violation of the laws of nature.

The ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts in the air also noticed this scene and couldn't help but frown.

Puppet mechanism?

The puppet mechanism technique of Sunagakure Village can be said to be unique in the ninja world.

But being able to fly a puppet to such a height is really an eye-opener.

Ordinary puppets, under the control of the puppet master, can move at low altitudes, which is already extraordinary. However, their location is at a high altitude that cannot be reached by conventional ninjutsu.

It's probably to deal with the ultra-long-range offensive puppet master they specially sent here.

It is indeed a good way to deal with enemies in the air.

In order for the four puppet masters to fight without any scruples, Markey had to focus all his energy on combat command.

It is true that Sunagakure does face some disadvantages when facing the air forces of the Demon Country.

But this disadvantage can now be slowly equalized.

For Maki, it is completely unrealistic to annihilate the air forces of the Demon Country. Being able to repel them means a victory for Sunagakure.

…

"The ninjas of Sunagakure are more difficult to deal with than imagined."

At the edge of the cliff, there is a lush forest underneath.

The Jonin of Demon Country, who served as the squadron leader, used his military telescope to see that the air force was being blocked, and frowned subconsciously.

"After all, they are the five major countries with profound foundations. It is expected that they can make corresponding arrangements so quickly. This is the power of the five major nations. Even if their technology is not good, their ninja quality is outstanding."

After Ayane opens her Byakugan, she can directly have an overview of the whole situation and know the battle situation in Windmill Town very well.

"Should we call them back and redeploy them?"

Sunagakure's actions were somewhat unexpected. Unexpectedly, there was also a hidden 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 to win from the beginning, it is enough for me to surround this Sunagakure force by myself.

"

The corners of Ayane's lips curled up, not caring about how strong Sunagakure's resistance was.

The flag representing the victory of the Demon Country has already been erected. There is no need to rush to devour the Sunagakure troops staying in the Demon Country. The rare experience material that can make the Demon Country Air Force see blood cannot be wasted so easily.

Unlike the five major countries that have experienced three ninja wars, the Kingdom of Demons has not experienced any decent war before.

Although a large number of simulated battles are carried out in daily life, they are still simulated battles after all, not real actual fighting, life and death.

The blood and fire on the battlefield are the best growth nutrients for soldiers.

What the army of the Kingdom of Ghosts lacks is not strength, nor a lack of armaments and logistical resources. What it lacks is the will to truly traverse the battlefield and face life and death without fear of blood and fire.

Although the Kingdom of Oni has secretly used the underground black market platform in the past to let some ninjas go out to practice and be cared for by Xuan Yuanzhong, such training is ultimately a drop in the bucket for the Kingdom of Oni, which has a huge ninja base, and cannot be praised at all.

.

Only the battlefields of great powers are the real battlefields.

If the Kingdom of Ghosts cannot pass this level, then no matter how powerful 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 practical training.

If this opportunity is missed, the next Kingdom of Wind will not appear, leaving the Kingdom of Ghosts with plenty of time to train in actual combat and accumulate experience.

Because of this, it is necessary to control the situation on the initial battlefield and maintain the delicate balance of 'even strength'.

"Let them come back in an hour, and I'll leave this to you."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured."

The Jonin who served as the squadron leader nodded solemnly.

◎

After one hour.

After two rounds of bombings, the buildings in Windmill Town were more seriously damaged. The ground was covered with charred soil. The power supply facilities on the edge of the town were completely destroyed, and black smoke rose into the sky.

Seeing the orderly withdrawal of the air forces of the Kingdom of Ghosts, Ma Ji always felt that something was not right, but for a while he couldn't detect what was wrong. He could only attribute it to himself being too eager to win.

It creates the illusion that the enemy is not using all its strength against Sunagakure.

Since the puppet masters capable of ultra-long-range attacks also joined the battle, in this exchange of fire with the air forces of the Kingdom of Demons, generally speaking, Sunagakure had the advantage.

Although the advantage is not obvious, and the losses are greater than Sunagakure, as long as they can hold their position and repel the Demon Country air force, this is the greatest victory for Maji.

Moreover, after two battles, Markey also had a better understanding of the air raid pattern of the Ghost Country's air force.

"What's the damage?"

Markie saw the puppet masters around him summoning their own puppets and asking about the situation.

A puppet master smiled bitterly and said: "It's more difficult than expected. Although the hardness of the puppet is comparable to steel, the enemy's firepower is also very fierce. In particular, you have to pay attention to your own attacks. Overall, it is still not satisfactory.

Well, it can only serve to contain some of the firepower."

Marky sighed and looked at the recalled puppets. Basically, they were all in tatters and the repair work was very tedious.

It is very troublesome to be unsure when the enemy will adopt an offensive strategy next time.

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Ma Ji. It is mainly because it is our first time to cooperate, so there will inevitably be some errors."

The puppet master mistakenly thought that Markie was blaming himself for his wrong operation.

In fact, from the puppet master's point of view, Ma Ji's command has tried his best to let 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.

This time error will cause their attack trajectories to overlap sometimes.

The detonating talisman on the arrow will occupy the attack space of the puppet and hinder its movement.

There is nothing that can be done about this. Currently, only the Yamanaka clan of Konoha Ninja Village can solve this problem perfectly.

It can remotely connect everyone's spiritual space, allowing all ninjas to cooperate perfectly and uniformly.

This is a gap that Markey cannot bridge even with his brain.

Jutsu is a very important talent for ninjas.

If it were Konoha, with the Yamanaka Clan and the Nara Clan, it would never be as difficult to deal with the Demon Kingdom's aerial troops as they were with Sunagakure.

The Yamanaka clan can carry out tactical chains, while the Nara clan can serve as the brains and can also use shadow techniques to limit the mobility of the Demon Country's air forces.

As long as the shadow of the aircraft is caught by the Nara clan, it means that there will be a dangerous situation of crashing.

"I'm not worried about this. I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling."

Marky sighed.

"Didn't Lord Maji send someone to send a message back to the village? After that, Lord Kazekage will also take action."

The puppet master said.

"Requesting reinforcements from the village was much earlier than the original plan. According to the village's thinking, they did not intend to continue such a stalemate with the Kingdom of Ghosts at the beginning, but hoped that our vanguard force would provide assistance to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Guolai attacked head-on, and then pressed forward with a large force, ending the battle in one fell swoop with an absolute advantage."

However, the current situation is that the Demon Country has put up a very tenacious resistance in the face of Sunagakure.

Moreover, the air force of the Kingdom of Ghosts completely restricted them to Windmill Town, posing a dilemma.
