Time flew by like a white colt flashing past a crack.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
During those ten days, Sector E11, which Qianye Squad was responsible for, was quite peaceful—or rather, the entire Western Defense Zone was very peaceful.
As for the reason, it was simple: everyone's attention was elsewhere.
Right now, whether it was Sunagakure, the Leaf Hidden Village, or the hidden agents planted nearby by other forces, all eyes were focused on those two strongholds on the front line.
The fighting there was extremely fierce. The strongholds had changed hands several times, and both Sunagakure and the Leaf Hidden Village were madly sending in reinforcements.
As far as Qianye knew, the Leaf had already sent three waves of support.
Now this was the fourth wave.
That was right. Just now, Qianye had escorted the fourth wave of Leaf reinforcements out of the defense zone.
Watching their backs as they left, Qianye thought to himself, I wonder how many of them will survive?
Clearly, those two strongholds had already become a kind of symbol. Whether they could be retaken would determine the Leaf's choices when facing Sunagakure's attacks for a long time to come.
