Daqin: I, Fusu, can summon the undead

Chapter 268 The sorrow of a small country
The forests of the Iron Kingdom would burn for a month or two.

On the other side, next to the Iron Kingdom is the Snow Kingdom.

This country did not evacuate its entire population as early as the Iron Country.

On the contrary, this country called on all citizens to join the army, and all able-bodied men and women were recruited into the army. It also assembled heavy troops directly on the border, blocking all passages from the Fire Country to the Snow Country and blowing up all bridges on the border, with an attitude of fighting to the death.

However, due to the special geographical environment of the Snow Country (year-round snow and low temperature), the population is not large, and even if every citizen is mobilized as a soldier, they can only barely gather an army of 900,000.

The Snow Country's Daimyo Feng Hua Nu Tao even pulled off some outrageous moves, forcibly confiscating all civilian supplies and dividing the army into five levels.

The first class is the Snow Ninja, which consists of only a hundred people.

The second group is composed of young and strong warriors and wandering ninjas in the Snow Country.

The third class was middle-aged civilians and wandering warriors.

The fourth category is young and middle-aged women and older children.

The fifth group is the elderly.

The third, fourth and fifth ranks were sent to the front, while the first and second ranks were kept by Feng Hua Nu Tao to protect him. At the same time, he left all the domestic supplies and children who did not participate in the war in the Snow City.

Feng Hua Nu Tao's actions also made the ninja world feel ashamed. But in the end, apart from persuasion, the countries did not make any substantial intervention, and even continued to provide intelligence and production drawings of firearms and other weapons to the Snow Country.

After all, no matter what Fenghua Nutao does, it can tie down the forces of the enemies from the other world. They even hope that Fenghua Nutao will delay the battle as long as possible at any cost. This way, other countries will have more time to develop.

As for the death of all the people in the Snow Country, what does it have to do with other countries?

"How's the chakra armor coming along?"

In the Snow City, after reading the information sent by other ninja villages, Fenghana Nutao not only did not worry about the border at all, but instead asked one of his ministers about another matter.

He had great confidence in the chakra armor. No matter how powerful the enemy's weapons were, he believed that as long as he had enough chakra armor, he could easily defeat any enemy. It was even possible for him to unify the ninja world after suffering heavy casualties in other countries with a large amount of chakra armor.

To this end, he found reasons to gather resources from all over the country, including most of the resources held by the people of the Snow Country.

In order to buy time to produce a large number of chakra armors, he also ordered everyone to become a soldier, and sent the old, weak, sick and disabled to the front line to serve as cannon fodder to delay the enemy's attack and prevent these people from coming back to take back the resources.

For him, it doesn’t matter how many people of the previous generation died. As long as he is still alive and those children who are loyal to him are still alive, the Snow Kingdom will still be the Snow Kingdom. In the future, the Snow Kingdom without dissidents will definitely be a better Snow Kingdom.

In order to have enough loyal ninjas to use the chakra armor, he asked all the children in the country to come to the Snow City and personally trained them as ninjas and loyalists. The process was extremely cold-blooded.

Of course, he also ordered the mass production of firearms. Although the chakra armor gave him great confidence, the chakra armor could not achieve ultra-long-range attacks. These weapons from another world just complemented the chakra armor, making the soldiers wearing chakra armor more perfect.

It has to be said that although Fenghua Nutao is ambitious, ruthless and strategic, he is ultimately just a figure from a small country and his vision is ultimately limited.

He has a vision and ambition that do not match his position and will eventually destroy the entire Snow Kingdom.

On the border between the Snow Country and Konoha, there is a city called Spring City.

Because it is only twenty kilometers away from the border of the Fire Country, this city does not have the snow-covered scenery like the interior of the Snow Country. Although the climate is not as warm as that of the Fire Country, it is already warm for the people of the Snow Country.

The grass is green, the trees are lush, and you can see flowers blooming in the spring. There is no snow covering the city all year round, which can be described as a spring scene. This environment has become a favorite place for the people of the Snow Country to live. Therefore, merchants come and go, and most of the transactions with the Fire Country are conducted in this city. It is a veritable commercial city. When transactions are frequent, it is as grand as a summer festival.

Of course, with the invasion and approach of the Sakura Star army, all the merchants fled for their lives. The city had long lost its former prosperity and looked desolate and depressing.

Following the order of the Snow Country Daimyo Fenghan Nutao, young and strong people and children were evacuated, and a large number of old, weak and sick people with no energy entered the city.

Although the population is larger than in the prosperous period, the city has not regained its former vitality. Instead, it is filled with a depressing and decadent atmosphere.

On the streets, there are many old men in their sixties and seventies. They are wearing simple armor made of wooden boards tied with hemp ropes, and they are chopping wooden stakes with axes or kitchen knives in their hands.

There were five or six people, or seven or eight people, who struggled to carry the bundled chevaux de frise, wooden shields and wooden pillars and walked towards the edge of the city.

The pre-war preparations they made were all preparations made by warriors in the past for war, and were also often used against bandits.

There was no light in the eyes of these old men, but they were still preparing supplies for the war.

"Those enemies from another world can attack this place from thousands of meters away and blow everything up."

"These things are useless. Their steel chariots can easily crush these barricades and shields. You should dig a pit, a big and deep pit, and then dig a hole diagonally downwards in the pit."

Suddenly, a girl in purple clothes broke into the crowd and kept persuading the busy old people around her, telling them that their preparations were useless and that they should spend some of their energy on useful construction.

"Little girl, what do you know! This is how the warriors used to prepare for war!"

"That's right. We made the same preparations when we were on guard against bandits. At that time, we prevented the bandits from even entering the village."

"That's right! Girls don't know what fighting is. Little girl, you should hurry to the rear!"

"That's what the adults told us to prepare. What do you, a child, know?"

Listening to the persuasion of the girl in purple, the old people not only did not believe it, but instead said that the girl in purple knew nothing.

This girl was none other than Yamanaka Ino who had escaped from Konoha.

Ino felt very uncomfortable being constantly refuted by these old people. Maybe it was because she was young. No matter how many times she tried to persuade them, no matter what she said, these old people did not believe her.

But looking at these old and aging people, how could Ino bear to see them die like this? Ino gritted her teeth and tried to persuade them again: "I am a ninja from Konoha. I know the information. What I said is true. These things can't stop the enemy at all. Everyone, believe me and do what I say to stop the army from the other world."

Looking at Ino's appearance, Shikamaru and Choji gritted their teeth and started to persuade her. They couldn't just watch someone die like that.

But the result was similar to Ino's. Even Shikamaru, who had a high IQ, couldn't make these old people obey him with words.

"They won't believe you. Their thinking has been solidified. They are stubborn. They only act based on their own experience and are not so easy to accept new things!"

"Compared to them, I'm more curious about why the three of you are here? Where is your family?"

Just when Ino's persuasion failed again, a curious voice suddenly sounded behind Ino.
