The Country of Iron bordered the Country of Fire, the Country of Sound, and the Country of Dragon. It had always maintained a neutral stance. A long time ago, the ninjas had made a pact that they would never attack the Country of Iron. As such, the Country of Iron had avoided the scourge of the First and Second Ninja World War, and its national strength was strong.
There were almost no ninjas in this country. Instead, many outstanding samurai were trained. They wore samurai armor and carried samurai swords. The sword techniques passed down from generation to generation gave the samurai strong combat abilities.
The Iron Country was close to the sea and had a developed fishing industry. Apart from that, its iron ore industry was the best among all countries. It was rich in minerals that ensured that every warrior had a set of thick armor.
In just seven days, they arrived at the border between the Country of Fire and the Country of Iron, where there was a small town called Iron Mountain Town.
The merchants and tourists from the Country of Fire and the Country of Iron had to pass through Tieling Town. Most of them were merchants in the metal business.
Not long ago, Iron Mountain Town was attacked by a group of unidentified ninjas and robbed of resources. The mayor of Iron Mountain Town asked Mu Ye for help.
Now, this once bustling town had become lifeless after several robberies.
The outer walls made of steel ensured the sturdiness of the town. They could resist small armies, but they could not resist ninjas.
Class One came to the town mayor's house and asked the old man about the situation.
The old man named Gu Wu seemed to have been scared silly by the harassment. He spoke without logic and said vaguely,"It's finally here, it's finally here. There's hope. Where's my walking stick?”
His legs had been amputated, so what was the use of crutches?
"Mayor, how long has it been since we were attacked?" Okami asked.”
" It should have been half a month. Sometimes, a few people came, sometimes dozens. Anyway, they were all well-trained ninjas and warriors. The young men in the town were no match for them. In the end, the strong young men left, and the merchants didn't pass through here. In just a few months, Tieling Town has been deserted.”Gu Wu sighed heavily.
There were warriors and ninjas. Were they really from the Iron Country? The Iron Country was powerful and had abundant resources. The resources in Iron Mountain Town were just a drop in the ocean to them. Was there a need to take the risk of becoming Mu Ye's enemy?
However, according to the ancient house, there were indeed warriors who came to rob them.
"It's them. When I was young, I traveled to the Iron Country and witnessed the swordsmanship of the Iron Country's warriors. The swordsmanship of these bandits is exactly the same as theirs.”Gu Wu said with absolute certainty.
Okami fell into deep thought. The Iron Country, which had always maintained a neutral stance, actually made such a provocative move. Could it be that they wanted to tear up the original agreement and start a fierce battle with the surrounding countries?
The Iron Country had been low-key for so long, and their national strength was flourishing. They had abundant resources and countless banks. They probably didn't want to see such a powerful country without a high status. Thus, they wanted to use war to break the stalemate and become a superpower.
Of course, this was just Tsuneo's idea.
"Mayor, we came here to investigate the situation. We want to stay here for a few more days to figure out the situation before returning to Muye.”Tsunei requested.
Furuya immediately nodded." Don't worry, I've already arranged accommodation for you. My servant, Yoshino, will take you there. He will take care of your meals and daily life during this period. I sincerely hope that the ninjas of Koba can help us civilians solve our problems. It's best if those bad people don't come again."”
Yuno came down from upstairs, put down the rag in his hand, and brought Tsunami and the others to their arranged accommodation.
They lived in a wooden house in the center of the town. There were two floors and four rooms, just enough for the next shift.
At noon, Class One ate the lunch prepared by You Ye and began to inspect the terrain of Tieling Town.
Tieling Town was located at the throat of the Country of Iron and the Country of Fire. It was located in the highlands of the Wilderness, and the terrain was dangerous. A small team could defend against thousands of troops, but such terrain had no effect on the ninjas.
There were a few hidden spots in the direction of the Iron Country's stone wall, which were completely blind spots.
It wasn't as if Iron Mountain Town didn't have any guards. These guards were the well-trained soldiers sent by the Country of Fire to guard the town. It was their responsibility to guard the border, but they were helpless against the infiltration of the ninjas.
Without much thought, Liu Yun threw a few spiders into these blind spots. The spiders 'vision was connected to Liu Yun. As long as someone attacked, Liu Yun would definitely be the first to notice.
The next few days were peaceful. The townspeople were much bolder. They no longer hid in their houses or cellars. They went out and continued to open their doors to do business and live.
Iron Mountain Town regained some of its liveliness and was no longer as lifeless as before.
One day, Okami received a letter, and his expression changed drastically. He summoned Class One and said,"I still have an urgent mission. The three of you are responsible for scouting the situation in Iron Mountain Town. If you find the enemy, don't be rash.”
After giving her detailed instructions, Okami rushed back to the village in advance. This B-rank mission was completely handed over to her three disciples. She believed that after a year of training, Class One would be able to complete a B-rank mission on their own.
