Chapter 54: War (4)
"They are the ninjas from Kirigakure, all of them have been defeated and taken prisoners."
Seeing those ninjas who always thought themselves better than anyone else, at this moment they looked like sorry dogs being pressed against the ground, the warriors on the city wall began to breathe with difficulty.
"Your Excellency, you are very powerful. Your soldiers' team is also very good. We are not your opponent."
On top of the city gate, the general in charge of defending the city looked down and noticed that the Marine soldiers under Akira's command were actually equipped with muskets and their tone was a little nervous.
"But now, the Daimyo of the Water Country has sent the army to attack Cardan Island. Your Excellency has sent all the troops. Cardan Island is in danger now. Why don't you let us go, and we will not be your enemy from now on?"
After a pause, the general continued, hoping that Akira could retreat due to the pressure from the Water Country. Although those muskets are powerful, if they stick to the city wall with all their strength, they can hold off the arrival of Water Country reinforcements.
But what he is thinking now is that the best thing is to delay as much as possible.
"Fight? Or surrender?"
Akira looked towards the city wall in front of him but could not say what he was thinking from his face and tone.
Akira's sharp eyes scanned all the soldiers on the city wall. Those soldiers became nervous immediately and did not dare to look at him.
Facing these inflexible sergeants, Akira saluted, and all the soldiers lowered their muskets.
The soldiers and generals on the city wall noticed all this and filled with joy instantly.
The general was also surprised, not expecting to be able to convince the other party.
"Blow up the city wall."
Looking at the motionless warriors from the Root Country, Akira's expression did not change at all, as if he had not heard the general's persuasion, he just said a word.
These guys have comfortably forgotten how terrible war is.
Akira's voice fell, and a group of figures slowly came out from the crowd of marines. Two Pacifistas were on either side, with hundreds of heavy artillery regiments in the middle.
"What is that?"
"Be careful, they are going to attack the city!"
.
.
"Boom!"
"Buzz!"
"Shh!"
.

...
The team led by Akira attacked the city wall with a large number of attacks, causing a loud noise. The Root Country was a vassal of the Water Country and most of its combat forces had been sent to the port. Without ninja to protect them, the armored samurais could not stop the firearm attacks, resulting in the death of some warriors and the demolition of the city wall.
Despite all this, Akira did not seem to have many feelings about it. From the first time he killed the Kunoichi who attacked him, he knew that in this world, either you kill others or you get killed.
It was his choice.
...
Meanwhile, on Cardan Island, the Water Country forces began their assault. Over a hundred construction ships, 90,000 soldiers, three Jōnins from three ninja families, six special Jōnins, and an army of over 100 Chūnin and Genin set out from the Water Country towards the sea area of Cardan Island.
The ninja team advanced and landed on the island first, destroying the Root Country's defense system. Over a hundred ninjas silently landed on the shore.
The general in charge of the expedition was called Yuge Yagyu, a member of the branch house of the Yagyu family.
From his point of view, Akira had done what he always wanted to do, but he was also an impulsive guy. Yuge was determined to make the whole Cardan Island pay for it.
When he ordered a direct attack, his men were astonished. This meant ending the entire island.
The construction ships began operating quickly, approaching Cardan Island like dense black dots.
Inside the Marine Radar Information Reconnaissance Command Center, the staff reported to Jabra that the enemy construction ship had entered the attack range.
Jabra, smiling, ordered an attack with the defensive cannons built by Akira in the mountains and cliffs around Haijia city.
The 200 cannons built by Akira were designed to aim in multiple directions. At least 150 of them could attack the same target at the same time.
The one hundred and sixty-nine cannons that could aim at the enemy construction ship fired almost at the same time. All the sounds were made at the same time, as if a cannonball the size of a water tank had been ejected from the cannon hole. The smoke after the launch covered half of Cardan Island outside Haijia city, making the whole island tremble.
