Chapter 562
Chapter 562: Chapter 498 Legion’s Strength Chapter 562: Chapter 498 Legion’s Strength Fide was the nephew of Baron Harkonnen, brother to the beast Raban who had once committed patricide.
Since the last foolish excursion led by Raban with ninjas and the Harkonnen family team deep into the “Death Oasis,” which ended disastrously,
Although spice and shields paid the ransom for their return, in terms of inheritance rights, Raban had already lost his competitive edge.
Now Fide was the most favored heir of the Harkonnen family.
However, just as it had been with Raban’s ventures into the “Death Rainforest”,
To gain enough prestige, Fide also needed to achieve some accomplishments of his own.
Dealing with the Foreman people was undoubtedly the best opportunity.
With the help of powerful ninjas, they fully compensated for the previous shortcomings of the Harkonnen family.
If it hadn’t been for that Foreman who emerged as a savior, seemingly possessing some clairvoyant abilities and had managed to dodge pursuit time and again, he would have taken over the reins by now!
“This time, even if you want to lure the sandworm, you’ll surely be buried here!”
Fide’s eyes shone with excitement and cruelty.
“Kazekage should have no problem, right?”
In the helicopter-like craft, Fide looked toward Rasa, flashing a gentle and elegant smile.
Although his smile appeared warm, Rasa could only feel a hint of perversion.
He had already had some interactions with this future heir of the Harkonnen, since, just like with the previous Shinobi Village and Daimyo, production resources were controlled by the Harkonnens, and he needed to consider the future.
But Rasa had a very poor impression of Fide.
This fellow’s character seemed quite distorted,
Psychological distortions and perversions were not uncommon among ninjas, and Rasa had seen many.
But it was rare to encounter someone like this who would consume humans, and furthermore, a companion of his own maid.
Most similar ninjas would have been executed for their crimes.
Though he harbored some dislike, Rasa maintained the standard mindset of a ninja, and wouldn’t let personal preferences affect his commitment to the employer’s mission.
Hearing Fide’s words, he just responded with a calm tone,
“If they don’t disperse, summoning the sandworm shouldn’t be a problem…”
The shadow-level powerhouses in the Ninja World each had their definitions and specialties.
In terms of single combat strength, Rasa didn’t think he could defeat Yecang.
But when it came to suppressing a large target and mastering Magnet Release while gaining an advantage in the desert, he had a unique advantage!
This was actually why he became the Fourth Kazekage!
He could single-handedly suppress a Tailed Beast!
“Heh heh, a bunch of rats hiding in the desert, what can they do besides those same old tricks?
I see your squad there; it must be Miss Yecang.”
Through the window of the Ninja Hawk helicopter, Fide had spotted the ninja reconnaissance team led by Yecang.
There were eleven ninja teams scattered around, with Yecang commanding from the center.
Having spotted the Foreman, the four closest teams were surveilling nearby, while Yecang waited at the location for reinforcements to arrive.
“Alright, let them come up to the space we’ve cleared.”
The twenty or thirty aircraft that had arrived weren’t filled to capacity, being intended for conveniently transporting ninjas mid-journey.
While ninjas were capable of rapid travel, with such convenient aircraft available, it was naturally not something to be wasted.
And with the ninjas’ combat discipline, once accustomed to these aircraft, there was no need to land; they swiftly grabbed the opportunity to jump into the open hatch doors as they flew low overhead.
Yecang ended up on the command aircraft with Fide and Rasa.
“Kazekage, Lord Baron-to-be,”
Yecang greeted formally,
which stirred some complex emotions within Rasa.
The opponent’s prestige was not lower than his own; even during the Ninja World War, he had planned to send Yecang to the Land of Water to eliminate her through their intervention, while simultaneously concluding a peace treaty.
But times had changed; now was when strength was needed, and he had already shelved those schemings.
Originally, Rasa wanted to use some opportunities to emphasize ‘I’m the Kazekage!’
But Yecang was truly a standard ninja, dutifully fulfilling every task he arranged.
Organizing reconnaissance and search operations under such harsh conditions, a physically demanding task like searching for a needle in a haystack, she still did it without a word of complaint.
This made Rasa sigh inwardly.
Perhaps he had really been petty back then.
But sigh as he might, he didn’t regret the decisions he had made in the past.
Quickly adjusting his mindset, Rasa nodded to Yecang and then spoke calmly,
“They have really gathered so many people and are standing together?”
“Yes, from the observation of the Ninja Hawk, they seem to be listening to someone’s speech, the scene is massive, and the arrangement is also very neat—this is somewhat strange.”
“Speech?”
Fide asked with interest at this time.
Then he smiled,
“It must be that ridiculous savior of theirs—wonder if the one who claims to foresee the future knows about our arrival!”
Just ahead lies the direction of the oasis, we certainly cannot let them succeed!
But at that moment, Yecang’s communicator emitted a crackling noise,
“Lord Yecang, they have started moving and are not heading towards the ‘Death Rainforest;’ instead, they are reversing towards the direction of the Harkonnen Family’s lands and have taken out the machines to summon the sandworms.”
Upon hearing this intelligence, several people inside the dragonfly helicopter were stunned.
What’s happening, moving towards the Harkonnen Family?
This left them somewhat incredulous.
“Could it be that they are desperate and planning to attack?”
Fide also seemed to have trouble controlling his expression.
To put in so much effort, and it ends up being a bidirectional rush?
“Are they just hoping to create an impact with the sandworms…”
Rasa was also making intelligence judgments at that time.
Previously, being able to play hide and seek with the Harkonnens, with our support for so long, also didn’t yield any significant results.
Adding the initial skirmishes over water sources,
Although Rasa knew that the other side were all ‘ordinary people’, their fighting spirit was no less than that of the ninjas.
Would they really make such an unintelligent move?
“Ha, they believe in their so-called savior; they have always been extremely zealous about their faith, which is why they’re not afraid of death, making them so troublesome.”
At this point, Fide also seemed to be venting the frustration of being led around by the nose.
The annoying persistence of these ‘rats’ had indeed caused the Harkonnen Family much trouble.
“Now, we want to make them realize, their savior can’t even save himself, let alone anyone else!”
The dragonfly flying vehicle was incredibly fast, buzzing as it leaped over one dune after another.
Soon, they saw a group of people forming a neat square in the distance.
And behind this group, the sand seemed to be rising already, bearing the marks of the sandworms’ movement.
“Open fire directly, tear them to shreds!”
Seeing the Foreman people’s neat formation before him, the perfect angle for a strafing run, Fide couldn’t help but reveal a cruel smile.
However, almost simultaneously, both Yecang and Rasa’s expressions changed.
“Be careful!”
Rasa grabbed Fide, and Yecang kicked open the door of the dragonfly helicopter, as the sand below began to rise, both of them carrying Fide and the nearby shadow guards leaped down together.
Similar maneuvers were also performed by some Jonin on other flying vehicles.
The next moment, shadowy spears shot out.
Boom~ Boom~ Boom~
One by one, the dragonfly helicopters, shielded by Holtzman Shields and the external shield fields, were all penetrated.
More than twenty helicopters, each named by the black shadowy spears, exploded into fireballs in the air!
Simultaneously, at the forefront among the Foreman people, powered by the support of his team at his back and feeling their strength converge upon him, Tao Yu,
successfully utilized Rune Inscriptions for the first time outside the Innate Barrier, releasing Magic from the Era of the Gods!
With the help of “Ironblood Knight” absorbing the team’s support, and utilizing his various shadow and talent enhancements, the spears formed from the legion’s shadows easily shattered the dragonfly helicopters poised to start strafing.
Looking at the successive explosions ahead, after briefly sensing the energy expended, Tao Yu felt very satisfied with this attack.
He slowly lowered his previously raised hands.
“Due to the need to forcefully penetrate the shield fields, extra force was indeed added, with multiple abilities working together, the effect is indeed outstanding…”
Behind him, the Foreman people, looking at the exploding lights in the sky, watching the mighty figure in the front,
felt a surge of tumult and awe in their hearts.
Initially, their allegiance was just a response to the ‘savior’s’ clairvoyance.
Now, seeing the Harkonnen family’s helicopters being consecutively targeted and destroyed, they finally understood why the ‘savior’ demanded their loyalty.@@novelbin@@
If the ‘savior’ acts as a messenger of God, then the figure before them was the Divine Spirit itself!
What do you think?
