Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic

Chapter 77 Blitzkrieg

The upgraded combat dwarf has a 60% magic resistance trait.

Adds a 15% buff from level 1 [Protective Shield].

It reached a terrifying 75% magic resistance.

This means that ordinary ninjutsu attacks will cause them negligible damage.

Of course, if it is "higher quality" Jonin-level chakra, the slow-moving dwarf who becomes a target will be eliminated.

However, the units in the game are not meant for "one-on-one" battles; the "campaign" is where the units in Heroes of Might and Magic truly take center stage.

For combined ninjutsu that is merely a quantitative change, the "origin" of its technique is the Chunin combat force of Iwagakure.

So...

The scene before your eyes is the answer.

The dwarves standing in front of Xiyan and Tianzang flashed with "shield" markings, and the dense barrage of rock-iron cannons struck them without them moving an inch.

Perhaps only the physical impact of the stones has some effect.

But coincidentally, dwarves are known for their "thick skin and flesh".

"What?!"

"What is this thing?!"

"My ninjutsu was like hitting a wall!"

"hateful!"

The Iwa ninja who had surrounded them were dumbfounded.

They struggled to spit pebbles out of their mouths, but it was like they were just tickling the strange creature opposite them.

"Use the combined control ninjutsu." Iwasaki immediately ordered his subordinates to change their battle strategy.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow!"

All the Iwa ninja suppressed their shock and quickly formed hand seals, punching the ground, which shattered into countless fine sands, which then eroded the ground like a tidal wave.

Kakashi was forced to retreat.

This is an Earth Release ninjutsu with a larger control range than the Swamp of the Underworld.

"Control? I can do that too!"

Qingwu leaped down and used the level 3 [Slow Technique] in mid-air.

With a flash of the vine patterns, the movements and frequency of the Iwa ninjas distributed within a 20-meter radius slowed down.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, Jonin Iwasaki quickly formed hand seals: "Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave!"

A large pile of hard rocks appeared beneath the feet of the Iwa ninja, whose movement was slowed by the azure willow. The rocks formed a river-like shape, sending the controlled Iwa ninja out of the "vine" range.

Qingwu frowned slightly, not expecting that the Iwa ninja would have such a solution.

He had never experienced a real war and underestimated the countermeasures that magic might encounter.

Fortunately, it seems that dwarves are quite effective against ninjas.

Only a few dwarves remained to block Tianzang's path, while the other dwarves, with slow but determined steps, carried their warhammers and charged towards the Iwa ninja forces.

Kakashi once commented that the dwarves possessed the fighting strength of Chunin.

Although the upgraded combat dwarves cannot cross "ranks", unlike the "glass cannons" of the ninja world, ordinary Chunin are no match for the dwarves when they get close.

The formation of the Iwa ninja force was disrupted.

Despair flashed in Jonin Iwasaki's eyes.

Without the combined ninjutsu, Qingwu also summoned the centaur leader and the great elf, who were strong in offense but weak in defense.

What followed was nothing but one-sided slaughter.

In a head-on confrontation, Kakashi found Iwasaki, making it even more difficult for the Iwagakure forces to form an organized defense.

In the darkness of night, the great elf's vision seemed completely unaffected.

Although their attack frequency is not as high as that of the centaurs in close combat because they have to "reload", a large number of Iwa ninjas are accurately hit with each attack.

The battle ended in two minutes, leaving only Jonin Iwasaki barely clinging to life under Kakashi's onslaught.

Iwasaki had long intended to withdraw, and he wanted to spread the news of the attack on the base.

Because when Tianzang used Wood Release, he already knew that the attackers were Konoha ninjas.

"Does Konoha want to start a war?" Iwasaki asked, his tone blustering but his words betraying his underlying fear.

"Wasn't it you who assassinated the Hokage first?" Xiyan said coldly.

"..." Iwasaki shut up. He didn't actually know the higher-ups' plans, but given Onoki's crazy ways, anything was possible.

During the Third Shinobi World War a few years ago, Onoki, without even showing his face, used tens of thousands of Iwa ninja troops to wear down the Raikage of Kumogakure...

"Assassinate the Hokage..."

Iwasaki felt a bitter taste in his mouth as his defense against Kakashi's "Fist Rock" had a momentary opening.

Kakashi's Sharingan flashed red, "Zzzzz—"

Lightning pierced his heart.

Iwasaki collapsed, disbelief still lingering in his eyes.

Every Jonin is a valuable fighting force for the village. Even on his deathbed, he was still thinking: Konoha...aren't you afraid of starting a war...?

"No need to clear the battlefield, proceed directly to the next stronghold!"

Kakashi turned to look at Qingwu.

Qingwu nodded, recalled all his troops, and replaced them with four winged horses.

Pegasus is very important in this mission, and he will not risk using it unless absolutely necessary.

"call--"

Pegasus spread its wings and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night.

All that remained was a pile of corpses inside the stronghold.

……

In less than two hours, the Shadow Guard arrived at the second target stronghold in the west.

That's right, the mission's operational plan became simpler because of Pegasus.

It's called "blitzkrieg".

Even if some escapees slipped through the net at the first outpost, the speed at which messages could be transmitted would still be slower than that of a Pegasus flying straight over.

"Take a 20-minute break."

Kakashi sat down cross-legged, swallowed a large soldier's ration pill with a "gulp," and then closed his eyes to meditate and recover his chakra.

The same applies to Tenzo and Yugao.

Only Qingwu thought for a moment and then quietly put the soldier's ration pills back.

He didn't expend much energy in the battle just now, and with his [Knowledge] attribute at a high level, his natural energy recovery speed is much faster.

And the main thing is that the taste of the military ration pills... it tastes just like a rotten carrot.

Twenty minutes later, Kakashi opened his eyes precisely on time. "Let's move out!"

"Wait a minute!" Qingwu called out to Kakashi, "Captain, let's try a different approach this time."

Looking at the distant watchtower, Qingwu said:

"There's no need for such a troublesome infiltration. The third stronghold is too far away. If someone escapes from the first stronghold using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique), we may have to face the Iwagakure (Iwagakure) forces that have been prepared in advance."

Xiyan interjected, "Xiang, what do you mean?"

"Let's launch a direct assault. The captain and I will lead the charge, and we'll finish this quickly!" Qingwu said. "If we can launch a surprise attack before the third stronghold is ready, the mission will be much easier."

Kakashi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

call--

Pegasus skimmed low into the sky.

This time, the Shadow Guard ignored the alarm that sounded ahead of time after the punishment barrier was set up, and the Pegasus charged directly into the watchtower from the left and right.

"ah--"

"ah--"

First, take care of the Iwa ninja on the high ground.

Then they saw that the Iwa ninja, alerted by the disturbance, had already gathered at the base.

Qingwu struck first with an earth-based magic spell, "Slow Spell".

Although the Iwa ninja had countermeasures, it was still inevitable that their formation was disrupted.

Immediately, Qingwu once again used the battle dwarves as the vanguard, the centaur leader launched a surprise attack from the flank, and the great elves provided ranged support.

The lack of intelligence left the Iwa ninja forces completely helpless against such a combined attack.

Moreover, Qingwu used the fire magic [Bloodlust Technique] against the Great Elf army this time...
