The temporary outpost was hastily set up to block the mountain path. Rather than defending against the Sekigahara army, it seemed more aimed at preventing civilians from foolishly rushing onto the battlefield. Naturally, the defense wasn't very tight. Knowing the number of cannon installations, monitoring positions, and paying attention to the Spider Model patrol routes, Li Pan stealthily slipped past with ease.
Good, the firelight of the town is already visible in the distance. As long as I get to the city...
"Whoosh—Boom!!"
The outpost exploded.
Li Pan lay prone on the ground, frowning.
A supersonic cruise missile? To blow up an outpost?
And then, in the flickering firelight, Li Pan saw four giant 'bats' circling in the sky, gliding down with the wind.
Ninjas, and led by a Jonin at that.
