Naruto Puppet Master

The eight thousand black-armored soldiers are the direct subordinates of Ghost Asura. They are the elites selected by Ghost Asura from the 30 Ghost Evil Army. They are all veterans who have survived the bloody battle. They are also loyal soldiers who have passed the observation of Ghost Asura and are considered worthy of being absorbed. .

"After this time, we should absorb some of them. 8000 people are still too few?" Ghost Shura looked at the silent eight thousand black-armored army in front of him.

...............

Half a month later, when Ouyang Ke received news of the war on the grassland, the war in the distance had basically ended.

Although he did not personally participate or experience it, detailed information about the war was delivered to Ouyang Ke on time.

Just like the tribal wars in the grassland for thousands of years, this time both sides understood the other's hostility and intentions early, so there was no chance for a sneak attack on the main army. When they met, they were directly engaged.

"Young Master, how is the war on the grassland?" Afu next to her looked at Ouyang Ke's happy expression and asked with a chuckle.

"It has basically been decided, and the rest is just the finishing work." Ouyang Ke said with a chuckle.

"Temujin? He is indeed a lucky man. In the end, he became the lord of the grassland. However, the grassland today is not the grassland after he unified the tribes." Thinking of the news from Ghost Shura, Ouyang Ke did not Thinking about it.

Listening to Ouyang Ke's nonchalant words, Afu glanced at the information Ouyang Ke put on the table and saw it read: "Ten days of fierce fighting, fighting from early morning to dusk every day. The three major tribes in the central grassland, Wang Han's tribe and Jamuka's tribe have all been defeated. The two leaders Wang Han and Jamuka have died in battle. Temujin was injured a few days ago and has fled overnight with the remaining defeated troops of the three major tribes, ignoring the herdsmen and tribes with their cattle and sheep. Headed east."

"At the same time, more than [-]% of the remaining population of herders in the entire central grassland has been plundered."

"Now there are only 30 of the [-]-strong army left. They are all exhausted physically and mentally. They are no longer able to hunt down the remaining [-] Temujin troops. Now my subordinates are seizing the time to capture the fleeing herdsmen. Please give me your instructions, young master. ." Ghost Shura offered his sincere thanks.

"Now, Ghost Shura has taken over the central grassland. We have defeated all the huge grasslands except Taiyanghan further east."

"Get ready over there, a large number of slaves will be captured soon. When they arrive, we will start the blood sacrifice." Ouyang said happily.

Ouyang Ke was very happy when he got the exact news at this moment.Not only because the blood sacrifice slaves were almost ready, but also because in this grassland operation, although a large number of young people were lost, Ye Ye plundered most of the grassland luck for him.

If the grassland has a lot of luck, then Ouyang Ke, who destroyed the Mobei Grassland and the Central Grassland, directly occupied five points. If Temujin hadn't been a hidden dragon and had the luck of the grassland innately hidden in his body, he would have had the luck of the grassland this time. At least he can score seven or eight points.

The grassland is vast, especially the basic base of the protagonist of this era, which contains a lot of luck from heaven and earth. Six points of the luck from the grassland at this time were plundered. Ouyang Ke found that it was almost equivalent to the origin of three points of luck from heaven and earth.

"The next step is to activate the altar to sacrifice the blood to the deity." Ouyang Ke thought in his mind as he looked at the large altar in the distance.

"Yes, young master, I wonder if you want to send a message to Ghost Shura!" Afu nodded respectfully.

"Well, the messenger ghost Shura asked him to sweep the central grassland first, and then rest for ten days. After that, if there is no order from me, let him kill directly to the eastern grassland and follow the footsteps of the grassland hero Temujin. Ouyang Ke said in a deep voice: "It would be best if we kill Temujin directly."

"No one of the three heroes of the grassland should be left behind."

"Yes, young master." Afu nodded respectfully and said.

............... ..

Five days later, the giant eagle, which used the fastest flying eagle to convey orders, flew into a large tent in the central grassland.

The giant eagle fell, and the ghost-faced army who was responsible for waiting immediately came forward with pieces of meat, fed it, and took the secret letter from the giant eagle's feet.

"Master Gui Shura, there is news from the master." Gui Shura, who was holding the secret letter, directly opened the big tent where the meeting was being held, walked in and said to the superior Gui Shura.

"Bring it up." Upon hearing the news from Ouyang Ke, Ghost Shura, who was originally angry because of the interruption, had to suppress his anger and said in a deep voice.

"Yes." The ghost-faced army stepped forward neatly and handed the secret letter in his hand to the superior Ghost Shura.

"Go down!" Ghost Shura waved his hand while checking the beeswax of the secret letter as usual.

"Yes."

With a snap, the beeswax mouth of the small bamboo tube was unscrewed. Ghost Shura pulled out a long piece of tissue paper and unfolded it to read the contents.

After a while, Ghost Shura put down the tissue paper in his hand and said to the people below: "The master has sent the latest order, asking us to first sweep all areas of the central grassland and capture all the herdsmen here. Go back, then rest for ten days and wait for orders. If there is no latest order by then, go straight to the eastern grasslands to hunt down Temujin."

"Do you have any comments?"

"Are we going to continue hunting like before?" After hearing Gui Shura's words, a ten thousand general with an injured right arm said with a bitter face: "Sir, could you please ask the White Camel King? We really have no updates now. There are many forces to pursue and kill."

"What's more, that Temujin is just a stinky rock that can't be broken. Wouldn't it be better to just go somewhere else to capture slaves? Why must we hunt down that madman?"

"Hmph, Atuo, are you questioning the White Camel King's order?" Ghost Shura snorted coldly.

"Atuo, how dare you." Under the indifferent gaze of Ghost Shura, the big man immediately felt a chill all over his body, and he lowered his head and admitted his mistake with a pale face.

Although he is the commander of an army, he does not dare to challenge Ghost Shura at all, because at this time, nearly half of the less than 8 people in the army are directly or indirectly under the control of Ghost Shura.

It is truly completely obedient to the other party's orders, and it is no longer like the original situation where the other party assisted, but the leader of the ten thousand generals was in charge.

Even Atuo, who had some inner strength in his heart, had already understood after the bloody battle some time ago that he and several generals who were not close followers of the White Camel King would end up if they disobeyed.

Although there was no direct evidence of the ten days of uncompromising and non-stop bloody battles, the reality that all those who had said goodbye to Ghost Shura after the war had died on the battlefield always made Ah discover this. Tuo felt cold in his heart.

Ten days of bloody battle, no matter how big it is

The loss, no matter how great the casualties, as long as you can still ride a horse, wield a sword and draw a bow, you have to go up the next day without any rest.

It was a competition of will and crazy killing intent.A'tuo didn't know how the army of the grassland tribe on the opposite side could withstand it. Anyway, judging from his own feelings afterwards, if he hadn't gone crazy with the killings at the beginning, A'tu felt that if it happened again, he would have to hold on for three to five days at most. Collapse, it is absolutely impossible to fight a bloody battle without stopping for ten days.

The result of the crazy bloody battle was that only about 10,000 people were left in the 2+ army. Adding the nearly [-] people brought by Ghost Shura and the [-] people who had earlier attacked the small and medium-sized tribes in the grassland, the CCP only had [-] troops. There are about [-] troops.

There were only 30 left out of [-]. As a result, Atuo didn't know whether this was done privately by the guy above who wore a Shura mask all day long, or whether it was the conspiracy of the White Camel King from beginning to end.

But whether it was the former or the latter, Atuo knew that he and others had no qualifications to resist now. If they didn't want to die, they could only surrender honestly.

Fortunately, Atuo himself was not a fanatical believer in any religion, nor was he a die-hard member of that family. He did not resist surrendering to the great White Camel King.

Unlike the few diehards from various factions around him who have not yet awakened.

Sooner or later they will end up dead.

"Well, I'm sorry you don't dare. In that case, just obey the orders!" Looking at Atuo, whose face turned pale, and recalling this guy's behavior in the past few days, Ghost Shura nodded pointedly and said, "Master likes it. For obedient subordinates, no matter whether they are right or wrong, the master is always right. As a subordinate, you only need to obey orders and do things."

"Yes, Lord Ghost Asura." Atuo was ecstatic when he heard Ghost Asura's seemingly ordinary but actually completely unusual answer.

He heard another meaning in Gui Shura's words, which was to accept his surrender depending on the situation.

If he hadn't already begun to consider accepting him as the White Camel King's subordinate, Ghost Shura would have no need to say these words.

It should be done casually and then find an opportunity to kill him directly in the future.

"Yeah! Just understand." Ghost Shura nodded and looked at the others and said: "The news from the master said that the losses of young people in the kingdom are very heavy, but the kingdom needs construction and manpower, so in order to avoid If it affects the cultivation of our own people, we must capture enough slaves to do hard labor to replace our own families."

"So this war is fought for your own relatives from beginning to end, not entirely for the White Camel King, so don't complain about anything, go back and rest for ten days, and we will set off in ten days to hunt down the man who slipped through the net. fish."

"Yes, Lord Ghost Shura." Everyone said in unison.

................

"Your Majesty, the matter on the grassland has been divided into winners and losers." In Wanyan Honglie's study in Prince Zhao's Mansion in Shengjing, Wanyan Honglie sat in the main seat and listened to the report of his confidant Zhao Jie.

"Say." Wanyan Honglie said in a deep voice, still closing his eyes in deep thought.

"The bloody battle is over. Although Wang Han and the others have gone crazy, they still did not block the ghost army." Zhao Jie said carefully.

"Did you still lose?" Wanyan Honglie sighed and felt relieved at the same time.

To be honest, ever since Wang Han and his three men began to organize the warriors of the grassland tribes to jointly defend against foreign enemies, Wanyan Honglie didn't know what he was expecting to win.

Although Wanyan Honglie was inclined towards the grassland at the beginning, it was only at the beginning because the grassland was apparently in a disadvantaged position due to its dispersion. Therefore, Wanyan Honglie strengthened his contact with the grassland while informing the grassland. He hoped that the grassland would Wang Han was able to unite the coalition forces of many tribes to consume enough of the ghost army.

But it was just consumption. In fact, Wanyan Honglie had no hope that the grassland would win the final victory, because compared to the White Camel Kingdom in the Western Regions, which would fall into rest anyway after this battle, if the grassland nomads unified, it would be detrimental to the Jin Kingdom. The threat is actually greater.

Wanyan Honglie, whose ancestors were originally from nomadic tribes, was very aware of the adaptability of the nomadic tribal system to war.

Basically, as long as the population is still young and strong and has not lost nearly half, no matter how big the war is, as long as it is victorious in the end, the nomadic tribes that have plundered enough slaves will recover at an unimaginable speed.

Under the rule of the caste system of tribal barbaric culture and the slavery system combined with religion, as long as the top layer does not suffer much loss and as long as there are enough slaves to supplement the bottom layer, it will be a terrifying monster that can greedily devour anyone it sees. For the fat of prey.

Even if you fail, you can recover very quickly.

"How much have both sides lost?" Wanyan Honglie asked in a deep voice, "Is Wang Han still alive?"

Wang Han was the key figure in the Jin Kingdom's indirect control over the grasslands, although Wanyan Honglie knew that the central grasslands were now over.

But after all, the Guisha Army is an army from the Western Regions and cannot always occupy the grassland. Once they withdraw, it will not take 20 years for the vast grassland to gather a large number of multiplied tribes again.

By then, the problem of the grassland will still be a concern for the Jin Kingdom. If Wang Han is here at this time, it will definitely be convenient for the Jin Kingdom to continue to speed up its penetration and influence on the grassland.

It's a pity that although Zhao Jie knew Wanyan Honglie's thoughts, he could only say regretfully: "Wang Han has died in the battle."

"After ten days of bloody fighting, both Jamuka and Wang Han were killed one after another. Only Wang Han's adopted son Temujin was injured and escaped the pursuit with his remaining troops."

"According to the latest news, Temujin took the remnants of [-] to [-] people and fled towards the eastern grasslands, abandoning herdsmen and tribes."

"The Ghost Evil Army stayed in the central grassland to hunt down the tribal herdsmen who had lost their strength."

"How is it possible? Wang Han actually died in the battle. That guy doesn't look like someone who knows how to fight to the death." Wanyan Honglie said with a very ugly face.

Wang Han's death means that Wanyan Honglie has completely lost control of the grassland. At least until a new spokesperson is supported, Wanyan Honglie and Jin Guo can only watch everything on the grassland and cannot intervene.

"He can't do it without fighting to the death. Just a few days after the battle, a 2-person ghost army detoured through the main battlefield and attacked the tribes behind the grassland coalition. Wang Han's tribe was the largest, so he became The first target of the Ghost Evil Army’s attack.”

"Wife, children, tribe, property, etc., except for the army he controlled, everything Wang Han had was plundered by the Ghost Army. And he was already very old, and it was unlikely that he would have any more heirs. , so after getting the news, he had to fight hard."
