While Reizo tried to find the origin of the attack, he would not succeed because the ship that fired the energy cannon activated its invisibility field again and was a thousand meters away.
At that distance, it was impossible to accidentally find the now invisible ship.
"Energy at 88%"
"Reloading energy cannon number 1"
"The next shot will be ready in 10 seconds."
In the ship's command room, the operators were ready for the next battle.
But even though the ship was ready to fire the next shot, the ship's commander did not order it to fire.
The number 1 energy cannon is the ship's most powerful weapon, and each shot consumed 10% of the ship's energy, so Tsuji had to handle the next battle carefully.
"Sir, the target is withdrawing."
But one of the operators sitting in front of a screen caught Tsuji's attention, who immediately looked at the main screen where the enemy samurai was heading towards the barriers surrounding the city.
Since he had already easily crossed the barrier before, it would also be easy for the samurai to get out.
"Fire!" Tsuji ordered, realizing that he could no longer hold back at that moment.
Upon hearing the ship's commander's voice, the weapons operator immediately pressed the button under his finger.
The ship's computer could predict the target's trajectory for him, so all he had to do was press the button.
Outside the ship, a cannon on the bow of the ship was spinning at full speed, flashing with light and heat as it pointed at the target a thousand meters away.
It didn't matter that the target was moving at high speed; the ship seemed to rotate and follow its movements with the cannon rotating on its bow, always pointing.
And when the operator in the command room pressed the firing button, the enormous energy accumulated in the rotating cannon seemed to have a place to escape and in an instant shot out at high speed.
!!!!!!!!!
Just when he was hundreds of meters from the barrier, Reizo felt the hairs on his body stand on end again as he felt another enormous sense of crisis.
Glancing sideways, his eyes fell once more upon that enormous pillar of energy heading towards the point where it would be in the next second.
Reacting quickly, the man stepped on the ground and stopped abruptly, leaving a huge furrow in the earth.
And dozens of meters in front of him, the pillar of energy fell, sinking into the earth.
And when the pillar of energy disappeared, a huge hole was left in the earth.
Reizo broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of being hit by such an attack.
I didn't know what these things were, and I was surprised that the Uzumaki clan had this type of weapon.
His strongest attack could only withstand that pillar of energy for a few seconds, so Reizo didn't want to clash with it head-on again.
Reizo still felt the power within his body, but he didn't want to guess how long it would last if he continued fighting this way.
'The Daimyo must know,' Reizo thought.
Besides wanting to expend less life force, he also had a duty to report the possession of such weapons by the Uzumaki clan.
Therefore, I could only escape from here.
Moving swiftly, Reizo grasped his sword and approached the barrier surrounding the city.
Of course, always be on the lookout for any energy pillar that might suddenly appear.
But it seemed I was lucky.
He had reached within a few meters of the barrier and was about to cut through it, but he felt no sense of danger approaching.
Reizo reasoned that the enemy couldn't launch such powerful pillars of energy that quickly, so he had to take advantage of this window of time to escape.
Knowing he had little time, Reizo didn't dare to delay and immediately slashed with his sword.
But just as the Purple barrier was about to be cut, it changed color to red.
The change was abrupt and Reizo couldn't stop to find out what was happening, so he continued with his cutting.
But unlike the previous time, this time his cut did not break through the barrier.
In contrast, the red barrier withstood their attack and showed no signs of damage.
On the ship, Tsuji smiled at the failed escape of the target.
The barrier protecting the city could increase its defensive power and turn red, but it would only last for a shorter time compared to when it was purple.
Knowing that he could not catch the samurai so easily, he had ordered the barrier to be strengthened to prevent his escape.
"Reduce the power of cannon number 1 by 50%," Tsuji ordered.
In comparison with the first shot, they now knew that the enemy could not withstand the attack of cannon number 1 head-on, so Tsuji ordered the power of the next shot to be reduced.
After all, he wanted to capture the target alive.
"Sir, ships 46 and 47 are approaching to provide support," said one of the flight operators, drawing Tsuji Uzumaki's attention.
His team had so far captured 3 cities in the land of lightning and had 4 ships powering the barriers that protected them.
And at the same time, each city had a ship monitoring its airspace, ready to react to any situation.
But in this way, all the ships were occupied, so the Uzumaki clan had sent more ships to support them.
Whether on the battlefield or to conquer another city.
Ships 46 and 47 had been patrolling the nearby airspace to look for any surprise moves by the lightning country, so they were the first to arrive when the situation did not appear to be under control.
"Establish direct communication with both ships"
"I want to communicate with your commanders," Tsuji ordered, and the communications operator obeyed.
In a few seconds, the main screen in the room split in two and showed two members of the Uzumaki clan, a man and a woman.
Sorai Uzumaki and Hina Uzumaki were the commanders of ships number 46 and 47 respectively, and although he led this operation in the land of lightning, all 3 had the same rank and strength.
Therefore, Tsuji did not dare to underestimate them.
"Sorai, Hina," Tsuji greeted when the two appeared on the screen.
"Tsuji," Sorai said, while the red-haired woman just nodded, showing no emotion on her face.
"They arrived just in time," Tsuji said.
"The enemy is formidable; I will need your help to defeat him."
"Is the enemy that strong?" Hina asked, showing emotion on her face for the first time.
Although they had received information about the countries' trump cards thanks to the help of the temples, they had not seen exactly how formidable they were.
Tsuji smiled and inwardly thanked the woman for being a battle-crazed fanatic, so he thought it would be easy to convince them of his idea.
"Yes, it's very strong," Tsuji said as he ordered one of the ship's operators to send the video of the battle against the samurai.
"Who would have believed that monks had such strange techniques?" Tsuji wondered aloud, seeking to awaken the curiosity and greed of the two commanders on the screen.
Meanwhile, Reizo began launching more slashes towards the red barrier that prevented his escape.
Time and again, the man cut through the barrier in front of him for several minutes, to the point that he used all his strength, but the red barrier only showed a few cracks before quickly preparing itself.
Panting, the man felt a little tired this time.
Although his power was still there, the tiredness was a bad sign.
And looking at the red barrier with no signs of falling, Reizo felt the crisis he was in.
When he received this power, the samurai had thought he would find no rival, so he had never expected his current situation.
Although none of the Uzumaki were his rivals, he had that strange weapon that could kill him if he wasn't careful, and his barriers were strong enough to trap him.
The fact that they hadn't launched that pillar of energy again showed that they couldn't use it lightly.
This was crucial information that he believed the Daimyo should know, but how would he escape from here?
Staring at the barrier, trying to think of a way out, he suddenly turned towards the city and a cruel smile appeared on his face.
If they won't let him go, he'll make them beg to leave.
And with a single stomp of his feet, the earth beneath him cracked as he shot off towards the city the Uzumaki had captured.
"Sir, the enemy has stopped attacking the barrier and is heading towards the city," said one of the flight operators, and Tsuji suddenly had a bad feeling.
