The Warrior of Love

Of course, if one has enough talent to control it, then even the weakest Demon Eye will bring great convenience, because it does not require any preparation and can be activated at any time, even as a passive skill.

There are many types of magic eyes, the more famous ones include future vision, past vision, death perception, petrification, charm... The Western magic system divides magic eyes into several levels according to their rarity and mystery, with the highest being the rainbow level.

However, this is already a rare product of the Age of Gods. In the world after the Age of Gods, even gem-grade products are quite rare.

Xiang Yu's eyes are quite special. Because of their magical basis, they cannot even be classified according to the Western system.

——"Double pupils".

According to legend, a certain ancient sage possessed divine eyes that could change fate. Based on this legend, people in later generations used special means to reproduce some of the functions of the eyes, which became today's magic eyes with double pupils.

As for why this artificial magic eye appeared on Xiang Yu...it has something to do with his origins, but even Xiang Yu himself is not very clear about it, because he does not know much about his past.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was his uncle Xiang Liang, and his memories before that were... vague.

"What I saw... in simple terms, was the 'future', but it was not a true prophecy, but the result of a 'choice'."

"Choice?" Jiang Liu seemed to be thinking about something.

Xiang Yu did not shy away from the question, but told it frankly: "The future is determined by the present." Different choices will lead to different developments, and the accumulation of countless choices will lead to a certain future.

In this way, the future has more than one form, and any slight change will lead to completely different results, which can be said to be endless. It is also because of this that the future is impeccable.

However, my double pupils can measure the future under different choices, observe it as an entity, and choose the one that is close to my own vision according to my needs... Well, even so, not everything can be done. After all, there is a future that cannot be achieved no matter what choice I make. "

According to this overlord, as countless futures continue to extend, it seems that every once in a while, they tend to converge towards a fixed "point".

This also means that although there are thousands of future routes, the "direction" is surprisingly consistent.

Any "future" that runs counter to this direction, or deviates too much, will disappear silently after a period of time... It's as if an invisible big hand is quietly pruning the branches...

"So, although these eyes are very useful, they are also extremely limited. They can dig out the greatest possibilities, but cannot overturn the absolute gap." Perhaps thinking of the White Huns who were wreaking havoc in the north, Xiang Yu was silent for a moment.

At this time, Chen Gong added: "The current situation is very unfavorable to us. The Qin army refuses to cooperate with us, and no one side can fight against the powerful White Xiongnu alone...

The six countries were actually the weakest side. Their army was almost entirely composed of new recruits, and the territory and population they occupied were not that large. They were able to hold on until now only thanks to the bravery and military strategy of the major general.

But we had already reached our limit a month ago, and it was because the White Huns were preparing for a strategic decisive battle with Qin that we were given a chance to breathe."

Xiang Yu shook his head: "However, national strength has its limits... The more we impose military service and corvée labor, the more we can feel the weakness of the country.

Originally, we had absolutely no chance of winning, but half a month ago, my magic eye saw a brand new possibility that would bring us a chance to win—yes, it was you, the foreigners who changed our destiny!"

Jiang Liu and Xiao Yu looked at each other: "So that's why you knew we were coming?"

"To be precise, I saw not only you, but also a larger group."

Xiang Yu said carefully: "I don't know what your relationship is... The second group of people should arrive in Shouchun in half a month."

"The second group?" Jiang Liu's eyes lit up. This group of people was probably Lixiang and the others. He didn't expect that he would accidentally walk in front of them.

So all I have to do now is stay here and wait for them to come?

"To be honest, I can't promise too much right now."

Xiang Yu looked at Jiang Liu sincerely and said, "But we really need help. If we can get through this difficult time, we will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

"No, we're not going to help anyone else fight—"

Xiaoyu was about to refuse when Jiang Liu interrupted her.

"No problem, I will try my best to help you as long as I can."

Jiang Liu showed a kind smile: "Don't thank me, just think of me as protecting these ordinary people."

"What a noble man!"

Xiang Yu became excited: "Now the people will be saved! It turned out that waiting in Shouchun was the right decision... Well, but I can't treat you too badly. At least within the scope of Shouchun City, I will try my best to meet your requests."

"Oh?"

Jiang Liu put his hand on Xiaoyu's head and touched the cute fox ears, causing the pink-haired girl's cheeks to blush and her whole body to tremble. She then glared at him with great dissatisfaction.

"My sister is very curious about the Chu Palace. Can I let her take a look around?"

"No problem." Xiang Yu said simply, "If you two don't have a place to stay, you can stay in the palace. There is plenty of space here anyway."

Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly brightened, and her dissatisfaction with Jiang Liu turned into gratitude.

"Oh, look at me. I forget everything when I'm happy."

Xiang Yu suddenly laughed and said, "May I ask your names? It will be convenient for me to address you in the future."

"Jiang Liu, she is Xiaoyu."

"Xiang Ji, or call me Xiang Yu, it's just a code name, you two can call me whatever you want."

Chen Gong was watching the good atmosphere from the sidelines, so he took the opportunity to say, "Since we have decided to unite to fight against the White Huns, why not have a competition now? This will also help us get to know each other better."

"Competition?"

Xiang Yu frowned: "Is this appropriate?"

He was not afraid of fighting, but he felt that it was not appropriate to fight in the city. He was not very clear about Jiang Liu, but if he got serious, he would not be able to be contained by a city.

"It's not a direct competition between the two of you, but a competition based on your performance."

Chen Gong smiled wickedly: "The problem with the goddess and the old general has not been solved yet. Before the final battle, we should clean it up properly - I have found where they are."

Chapter 235: Suppressing the Rebellion with Ease

The number of people in the coalition forces of the six nations was not large. Excluding the private armed forces of civilians and local tyrants, Xiang Yu could only directly command about three thousand-man teams. This amount of troops was quite a stretch to face the White Huns - the enemy's size was around 100,000.

If it weren't for the dense network of waterways in the south that helped resist the White Hun's cavalry, and if it weren't for Xiang Yu's outstanding leadership charisma that gave everyone the determination to resist, then this war of unequal power would have been decided long ago.

Now the White Huns have turned their attention to the Qin Army, intending to conquer the original territories of Han and Wei, and then surround Changping from three directions, crushing them with a mighty force. So they are accumulating strength to prepare for a strategic decisive battle, and the Qin Army is also facing a powerful enemy and has no time to care about anything else.

This should have been an opportunity for the coalition forces of the six nations to rest their troops or organize farming production so as to accumulate stronger strength to deal with future situations.

However, Xiang Liang's rebellion not only caused chaos in the central command system and made the army uneasy, but also took away about a thousand elite soldiers, putting the coalition forces of the six countries into an embarrassing situation.

A thousand people may not seem like a lot, but in the future decisive battle with the White Huns or the Qin State, no one would want to have such an unstable factor around him, right?

However, if troops were to be sent to encircle and suppress the enemy, the main force of the coalition forces would also have to guard against the Huns and the Qin army, and the military strength in a hinterland like Shouchun would be stretched to the limit.

In the end, it was Xiang Yu who made the decision: instead of sending troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion, he would go in person to negotiate with Xiang Liang and his soldiers.

If this were real history, then going deep into the enemy camp alone would undoubtedly be an act of seeking death, but considering that this is the Type-Moon world... Xiang Yu would definitely have had enough confidence to do so.

Of course, now that Jiang Liu has also arrived, the King of Chu doesn't have to go deep into the enemy territory alone.

Xiaoyu was allowed to stay in the Chu Palace to revisit the old place, while Chen Gong was appointed by Xiang Yu to manage the order in the city after he left. Jiang Liu and Xiang Yu left the city and headed towards the place where the rebels were entrenched.

Jiang Liu was still dressed the same way, with the Demon Slayer Corps uniform inside and the robe given by Emperor Yanma outside. Although it looked a bit out of place, it could be considered somewhat ancient. He didn't carry any weapons with him - this was the benefit of having storage space!

Now, Jiang Liu was sincerely grateful to Blackbeard for helping him so much.

Xiang Yu changed out of his regular clothes and put on a set of heavy armor engraved with animal patterns. It had everything from a helmet and mask to combat boots. The design that perfectly fits the human body structure seemed to be ahead of its time. The texture did not seem to be pure metal either. The whole body was a deep ink color, but the patterns were a burning red. The two contrasted each other and gave people a strong visual impression.

The weapon was also changed from the ceremonial sword to a long weapon, a halberd whose shape could be said to be quite odd for this era.

The end of the Qin Dynasty was the transition period from "Spear" to "Halberd", and the King of Western Chu can be said to be the earliest pioneer.

If combined with the majestic warhorse under his crotch, it can be said that the image of a "military general" perfectly fits anyone's imagination.

But Jiang Liu didn't just rely on his eyes to observe... He could see that this look was just one of Xiang Yu's "patterns".

Armor, weapons, and war horses, although conspicuous, are not the foundation of the King of Western Chu. His fighting ability is not actually reflected by these things. It can even be said that these things have invisibly restrained his true strength.

Although these things are not ordinary objects, they have not reached the level of treasures and are unable to carry the huge magic power in Xiang Yu's body. If this overlord fights with all his strength, the embarrassing scene of the Monkey King choosing weapons in the Dragon Palace will probably happen again.

Empty-handed is stronger!

"There's nothing we can do about it."

In response to Jiang Liu's question, Xiang Yu explained: "After all, this attitude is more convincing to the soldiers. On the battlefield, it is not your personal bravery that counts. If you can't get the soldiers to follow you, you can't defeat the enemy."

Sure enough, even though he was an invincible warrior, his achievements as a general were even greater. It's just... you're planning to take on the rebels alone now!

Isn't it said that we can't just rely on our own bravery?

"Ah? There are only a few thousand people. There's no need to worry so much."

"Uh..." By the way, Jiang Liu had no means of transportation, but using "Tian Dong", his speed was not slower than Xiang Yu's warhorse. It took them half an hour to cross a hundred miles and arrive at the rebel's lair.

The water is surging and boundless, it is obviously a huge swamp.

"Xiang Liang and that goddess are hiding in a place like this?" Jiang Liu frowned and looked at the water surface. "It's a bit troublesome to find them."

"No, they'll come to us."

Xiang Yu took off his mask, stared at the lake with his calm pupils, and suddenly took a deep breath.

"The Supreme State of Chu, the leader of the six states, Xiang Ji is here! Uncle, please come out and see me!"

The magic power carried the sound to a very far place. Although he did not understand spells and immortal ways, he was born knowing how to use magic power.

The entire swamp was filled with Xiang Yu's awe-inspiring voice. No matter if he hadn't been discovered beforehand or if he had been discovered and was hiding on purpose...

The rebels could no longer ignore the arrival of this great general. After a while, waves rose on the water and small boats gathered from all directions.

Xiang Liang had no choice. Although he could continue to hide and do nothing, his soldiers could not do that.

Ultimately, it was because Xiang Yu's prestige was too high. If Xiang Liang did not come out to confront him, their morale would quickly decline and their combat effectiveness would be lost, a consequence that Xiang Liang could not bear.

Perhaps he was also afraid of the powerful military force of his "nephew", so he did not go to the shore, but led fifty or sixty small boats to stop two hundred meters away from the shore, forming a line and trying to show enough momentum.

It was actually quite difficult to have a conversation at this distance. It was unknown how much Xiang Liang feared Xiang Yu to do so. After all, on the surface, Xiang Yu only brought one "soldier" with him at the moment.

"Ji'er!"

Xiang Liang's voice came from afar. Jiang Liu thought that Xiang Yu would have a conversation with him across the river before making a decision. However, Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and spurred the horse under his crotch without hesitation.

"Uu——"

A dark green aura of magic was released, and the warhorse seemed to have received the blessing of the water god. It walked on the undulating water surface as if it were flat ground, and its speed was as fast as lightning, heading straight towards the rebel camp.

Not to mention Xiang Liang, even Jiang Liu was stunned. In this instant, Xiang Yu had arrived at the military formation consisting of dozens of small boats.

"drink!"

There was no intention of showing mercy. The long spear released a strong aura of magic, invading the lake like spreading a ball of ink, but what followed was the wave crest that split the lake, overturning all the small boats in one breath, and the soldiers fell into the water and cried for help!

Amid the surging waves, Xiang Yu looked stern. He suddenly jumped up and penetrated the water curtain. When he fell again, he was holding a man in military uniform in his hand. It was his uncle Xiang Liang.

Most of the rebel soldiers were from Jiangdong and had been familiar with water since childhood. Although they fell into the water, their lives were not in danger. Xiang Yu did not stop, but pulled the reins and rode back. He returned to the shore as if walking on flat ground and threw Xiang Liang on the ground.

"You are all my Jiangdong disciples. I only think that you are deceived by others in this rebellion. According to military law, defectors will be killed. Today I will give you one chance: surrender or die!"

Standing on the shore on horseback, his awe-inspiring figure makes people dare not look directly at him.

Xiang Yu swept this rebellion battle with lightning speed, and it took less than twenty breaths from start to finish...

Jiang Liu looked at this scene and suddenly began to doubt what he was here for.

Is it still necessary to lead troops with this kind of combat power? !

However, things did not end there. When the rebel soldiers had basically decided to surrender, the situation in the swamp suddenly changed. Streams of turbid and dirty water surged up from below, and the surface of the lake seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming a huge whirlpool.

“Ahhh help!”

"What's going on?! What is this!?"

"Major General, Major General, save me!"

The soldiers were unable to resist the attraction of the water and were sucked over along with the overturned boat, sinking into the water one after another and disappearing.

"Ok?"

Xiang Yu's face changed, and a strange light flashed in his deep demonic eyes.

"Damn you evil demon...Mr. Jiang Liu, please lend a helping hand to Xiang Ji!"

Chapter 236: Overlord's Martial Arts

"Wow—"

In the center of the vortex, an extremely huge snake head stretched out and swallowed a large amount of lake water with a slight suck. Whether it was the destroyed ships or the soldiers sinking inside, they were all swallowed up without exception.

"There's actually such a monster in the lake!"

Xiang Yu's face was solemn. With his ability, he hadn't noticed the aura of the monster beforehand. Even his pupils didn't react...

"Uncle, where is that woman?!"
