The Warrior of Love

A distance of just ten feet was just a matter of a few breaths for a warhorse that had already increased its speed, and there was simply not enough time to prepare.

Besides, without armor or spears, it would be ridiculous to use such slender weapons to fight against war horses.

Even ordinary cavalry would have an overwhelming advantage against lone infantry, not to mention that they are not ordinary.

That king, the White Princess, brought the blessings of the gods to the entire clan, and the warriors' strength is no longer the same as before.

And they are the elite among the elite. In a one-on-one fight, they can even kill powerful beasts like bears and tigers. As a price, their appearance has changed slightly, but this is completely tolerable.

As long as there is a strong force, then all places where the sun shines can become pastures for the Huns.

The sound of the wind was heard.

How could one hear the sound of the wind so clearly while riding a horse at full speed?

It's really strange... But the sound of the wind is very pleasant.

It was just like the winter wind blowing through an icy ridge, or blood spurting out from a thin wound - ah!

I see, this isn't the sound of the wind...

At some point, the cavalrymen had already engaged the man in battle, but he seemed to be standing still without moving.

Thin lines of blood appeared on the scouts' throats one after another after that...

Chapter 231: Princess Pingyang

It doesn't look like a human being at all...

Jiang Liu quietly observed the corpse of the so-called "White Hun" and his brows slowly furrowed.

Although it still retains a roughly human appearance, its height is at least two meters, far exceeding the average level of this era, and its skin is very different in color and texture, and it is more like rubber than flesh and blood.

There is not much hair on his body, and there is a red tattoo on his forehead that is shaped like an eye, like a totem. His facial features seem to be fixed, and everyone has the same expression. He is simply a living mask.

The equipment they carried was far beyond the limitations of the times.

In the original history, the metallurgical level of the northern nomadic peoples has always lagged far behind that of the Central Plains. Even thousands of years later, some tribes were still using arrowheads made of bones. They did not have the ability to smelt steel independently. At most, they could plunder steel and then recast it.

If they were not born with a highly mobile type of military force like cavalry, they would be powerless to confront the unified Central Plains dynasty - their war potential and national strength ceiling were simply not on the same level.

In the late Han Dynasty, the Huns, such as the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, were already in an awkward situation of relying on the Han Dynasty. The Xiongnu had even fallen from being a "barbarian power" that could compete with the Han Dynasty at its peak to being able to only occasionally provoke the border army...

It was not even worthy of being called a country, as the rulers of the Han Dynasty deliberately split it into independent large tribes.

But even so, the Huns were already very remarkable - after all, they were a nomadic people who could outlive the Han Dynasty and had fought against it many times.

Compared with those guys in later generations who were defeated by the Central Plains dynasties and never recovered, they were much stronger.

The technological level of the White Huns in this singularity seems to be far behind that in "history".

The weapons they were equipped with were obviously well-made iron tools, and the protective gear was probably made of lightweight leather armor for the sake of mobility... Most importantly, these pieces of equipment were of the same style!

This proves that they not only relied on looting, but also learned metallurgy and other production technologies!

The rapidly developing productivity, the physique that is very different from that of ordinary people, and the cavalry corps that have almost no nemesis in this era - it seems that it is no coincidence that they can break through the Great Wall.

However, this raises the question: why did such a change happen?

Jiang Liu intuitively believed that he had found the reason why this era would evolve into a singularity.

Is the root cause in the White Huns?

"What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Liu cast his gaze towards Xiaoyu, whose eyes were somewhat dull. The real age of the little girl was definitely more than twelve or thirteen years old as she looked, but her mental age seemed to be consistent with her appearance. Her shelter was destroyed, and the people she was familiar with were slaughtered... This seemed to have caused a great shock to her.

Jiang Liu also felt a little reluctant. He was not a heartless man. He would be angry and compassionate when encountering such a situation, but he had seen many tragedies and knew that if one could not get out of the tragedy, he would not be able to move forward.

This era does not give humans much time to be sad.

"Where...to go?" Xiaoyu said blankly, as if her mind was not here at all.

After a while, a glimmer of spirit slowly returned to her eyes.

"My hometown, I want to go back to visit my hometown."

"home?"

"Chu State...I want to go back."

Xiaoyu looked at the dazzling fire in the distance and said lonely: "I also planted a few chrysanthemums in the palace garden."

Before the Chu State was destroyed, the princes and ministers seemed to want to offer her as a sacrifice to the Emperor of the East, praying for the gods' favor. However, she cleverly escaped and did not witness the tragic scene of the destruction of the country. Now, she inexplicably feels homesick...

Although those carnivores were not good people, she had lived there for a long time after all, and it was not easy for her to forget them.

Just as she said, she had planted a few flowers and plants.

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

Anyway, I can't find Lixiang now, so I'll just take it one step at a time. Besides--

Jiang Liu glanced at the distraught Xiaoyu and shook his head helplessly: It's really worrying.

"Ugh?"

Xiaoyu blinked her big eyes and looked at Jiang Liu in surprise.

"Will you take me back?"

"There is chaos and war here, and there are monsters causing trouble. You definitely can't go back alone."

"Why help me? I don't have any money."

"Uh, this is it."

Jiang Liu scratched his cheek, and an image of a cute and adorable fox-eared witch flashed through his mind.

"Haha, just think of it as thinking about the "future"."

“Is the target my body?”

"That's not what I meant! Don't expect anything so young!"

-

"presumptuous!"

With a delicate cry, flaming meteors rushed up into the sky. With a thunderclap, the rocket arrows wrapped in blue lightning pierced through the huge monster, and the huge body, which had lost its life, slowly fell to the ground.

"Okay, so awesome!"

"Great, we're saved!"

"This female ranger is so amazing!"

"What ranger? This must be an immortal, a fairy!"

……

With a pair of phoenix eyes slightly raised, the female warrior holding a gorgeous longbow expressed disdain for her prey. When she put away her weapon and faced the cheering people, the frost on her face quietly thawed, revealing a reserved but not distant smile.

"Saber is so awesome!"

Ritsuka and Mashu walked up and looked at the monster's body which was as big as a small mountain, with amazement on their faces.

You know, this is not some small monster. According to the standards of Chaldea, its magical reaction can catch up with an average servant, but it was still shot dead by Saber in front of it!

Hey, something seems wrong?

Seeing the Master's eyes looking at the bow behind her, Saber understood, shook her head and smiled.

Suddenly, the longbow turned into flames, and then condensed into a gorgeous sword hanging at her waist.

"I am not particularly good at any of the various martial arts. I am only slightly better than them all... This weapon does not have a fixed shape. It was originally just a military flag that can be transformed into other weapons."

"But your highness's job is Saber. I thought it must be a holy sword." Mashu was a little surprised.

The red-clothed Saber also had a trace of confusion in his eyes: "I don't know why I was summoned as a Saber...but this should be my own problem.

After all, I didn't leave my name behind at all. I was more like a fantasy phantom than a real hero, and all the credit was assigned to the image symbol called "Princess Pingyang".

When I was summoned, I didn't find a corresponding job due to the ambiguity of the legend."

It is also for this reason that, although she is a local summon, she basically cannot enjoy the so-called popularity bonus.

"He's so amazing but he didn't even leave his name. That's too much."

Ritsuka felt sorry for Saber: "But Saber is no less capable than any other hero, I know this very well!"

Sabero, the daughter of the Li family, is actually Princess Pingyang, a female general who made great military achievements when the Tang Dynasty was first established and is one of the few heroic women in the entire history of China.

As the daughter of Li Yuan and the sister of Li Shimin, her brilliance was not at all overshadowed by her father and brother. On the battlefield where it was difficult for women to make a difference, she relied on her dazzling military achievements and her demeanor as good as men to make people ignore her gender and give her unique respect.

In history, she is the only woman to be buried with military honors, which is the greatest recognition and praise she received from her contemporaries.

However, such a famous female general did not actually leave her name behind. The only title recorded in history books was "Princess Pingyang".

The records of her life are limited to her military achievements... There are very few descriptions of her image, and even the historical stories vaguely bypass her.

To be honest, something might have gone wrong when she was summoned. She is actually in a very bad state now. She can't even use her Noble Phantasm, and her memory doesn't seem to be very complete.

So much so that after being summoned, he didn't even know why he was a Saber...

Chapter 232: Chen Gong

"Old man, where are you going?" Lixiang asked the elder among the people very politely.

"Oh, thank you so much for saving us... We are all heading south."

"Going south?"

"There are Hu people causing trouble in the north, and we can no longer stay here. I heard that there is a very brave general named Xiang Ji in the south, so we plan to go south and return to the State of Chu."

From what the old man said, it seemed that they were originally from the State of Chu. However, when Qin conquered Chu, the Chu royal family and the people were severely massacred. Some people fled far away to avoid the war, while others fled to the State of Qi, which had not yet been conquered by the Qin army, and settled down near Mount Tai.

But now the White Huns have attacked, and Qi is occupied by the Huns and the coalition of six nations. It is a time of fierce fighting and it is impossible for them to live in peace. They have no choice but to migrate again, but this time from north to south, back to their hometown.

"Xiang Ji?"

"Senior, don't you know that this person is the famous "Overlord"? "

"Xiang Yu of Western Chu was also a famous tyrant in history during my lifetime." Li Saber smiled slightly, "Since the Qin and Han dynasties, famous generals in ancient times who boasted of their bravery have all compared themselves to the tyrant, but most of them are just seeking fame and reputation."

After a pause, she said with deep emotion, "I never thought I would have the chance to see the Overlord of Western Chu in person. It seems that becoming a heroic spirit is not without its benefits."

"Xiang Yu..."

Li Xiang still looked a little confused: "I remember that in Chinese history, he was a loser, right?"

"Yes, there is no doubt about that."

Princess Pingyang said solemnly: "Although I admire his military strategy and bravery, a loss is a loss...My brother once said that there are very few pure generals or princes who can compare with the Overlord, but his failure is inevitable, and it is not as simple as bad luck and losing the battle."

"Saber's brother... is he the famous Emperor Taizong who is sworn brother to Master Sanzang, right?"

"Master Sanzang... to be honest, my memory of this is vague."

The young female general had a strange expression on her face: "But forgive me for being blunt, in my impression, my brother would not become sworn brothers with monks."

[After all, Journey to the West is just a legendary novel... Lixiang, the next step is to escort these villagers to the south. ]

"Ugh?"

[From them we can learn that there is a big deviation in this era. Originally, there was no so-called White Hun invasion in history. Then the reason for the formation of the singularity can be determined.

There is only one solution: disintegrate the White Huns' camp and let history return to the normal situation at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

We cannot fight against the White Huns with our own strength. You must get enough support. Currently, only Qin and the six kingdoms can fight against the White Huns. 】

"Historically, the Qin Dynasty eventually perished. So did they go looking for Xiang Yu? But didn't Xiang Yu also perish?"

[Now we can only rely on him. Another important person who should have appeared, Liu Bang, has not appeared yet. ]

-

Jiang Liu and Xiaoyu were alone, and they walked very fast. In addition, Jiang Liu couldn't move and carried Xiaoyu in a princess hug, so they traveled at a speed almost as fast as flying, so naturally they reached the territory of the former Chu State in a few days.

However, the State of Chu was once famous for its vast land area. Although it was nominally at the border of the State of Chu, it was actually still quite far away from Xiaoyu's "hometown" - Shouchun.

Although they encountered many attacks from monsters along the way, those that needed to be killed were killed and those that needed to be captured were captured. None of them were spared and were dealt with by Jiang Liu. The number of the evil dragon's "cellmates" also increased to dozens.

Jiang Liu vaguely felt the existence of a certain "limit". If he went any further, it would put a great strain on his mind, so he stopped trying to "reach niraku".
