The Warrior of Love

Survive no matter what!

The harsh environment on the grassland has made them accustomed to indifference to life. Even if matters of life and death happen around them, they will not be too surprised, because it is a very common thing.

But on the other hand, even though it is so difficult, they still have to be strong and fight to survive, which gives them a kind of persistence in life and they will do everything they can to stay alive.

These two contradictions formed the nomads known as "Huns".

Such herdsmen encountered a messenger from heaven, an incomparable supreme king, and so what they expected was obvious: just "water" and "soil".

If there is nothing on the grassland, then they will ask the world within the Great Wall for it - this is a natural idea for the people on the grassland.

Many times we may not win... but even if we lose, we can reduce the number of people, and with the resources plundered, we may be able to survive the winter.

However, all the herdsmen had not expected that it would be so smooth. Under the leadership of the king, they easily conquered territories equivalent to two countries, and the land of their old enemy Zhao was about to be conquered.

Of course, it was not without cost. For example, herders began to experience various strange symptoms...

They demanded war from her, so she would give it to them - her idea was just to go with the flow.

But once she makes up her mind to do something, she will stick to her goal to the end.

Anyone who tried to stop her would be defeated without hesitation, no matter if they were from the Six Kingdoms, the Qin people, or her own Xiongnu compatriots.

The weapon she wore at her waist was not an ordinary metal sword, nor was it a bow and arrow or a pistol, but a special existence that could not be classified.

That thing has a variety of postures, and can adjust its specifications and capabilities according to different opponents. It can be said to be a combat weapon with the highest adaptability and the highest versatility.

However, despite being such a convenient thing, no one before "her" could use it, and no one even realized that it was a weapon.

Only the girl who was the embodiment of war found the sharpest claws and thus gained tremendous power that no one else could match.

It's like destiny!

Because this is the weapon left behind by the legendary god of war: Chi You.

In mythology, Chi You has three heads and six arms and is good at manipulating various weapons. He is both a king and an invincible warrior!

The weapons held by the six arms are actually ultimate weapons that can change their forms freely and even split into multiple entities. They are called—

[Super Military God's Five Weapons]!

The girl who used it was like the reincarnation of the former god of war, bringing endless wars to the earth. However, this time no one could stop her like Emperor Xuanyuan...

Chapter 245: The eldest son? The eldest princess!

The vast wilderness seemed to have just been burned by a wildfire, showing a dark red color close to black, stretching to the end of the horizon, and an atmosphere of loneliness and solitude filled everything.

And in this land without any vitality, there is a straight and wide road running from north to south, dozens of meters wide. Looking down from the sky, it looks like a white belt dividing the earth.

It was as if a boundary was split open by the gods, with no end in sight and no one knowing how long it was.

It is shocking to think that this engineering project that almost changed the terrain was accomplished by human power.

In a world two thousand years later, using various industrial machines, building similar roads would not be a difficult task, and one could even create works far superior to this. But in this era, it would be an unparalleled feat.

——Chidao.

This was the first "national highway" to appear in Chinese history.

Building roads to all counties and prefectures across the country according to unified standards was like weaving a huge spider web, and the center of the web was also the center of the country and civilization: the imperial capital of Xianyang.

Or to be more specific: the Emperor.

"After all, it's just something the First Emperor used to show off."

A man with an old face and wearing armor with animal patterns was riding on a warhorse, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with the First Emperor.

"That's the kind of thing that man loves the most."

Although he was not familiar with the First Emperor and had never even spoken to him, his tone was as if he knew that man better than anyone else, and was full of resentment and disdain.

Ritsuka, Jiang Liu and others on the side looked a little annoyed but pretended to listen carefully.

-

Xiang Liang, the descendant of Xiang Yan, the last famous general of the Chu State, is also Xiang Yu's "uncle".

In the original history, as one of the leaders of the six-nation uprising army, he originally had a very influential position in the coalition forces. However, after his nephew Xiang Yu emerged as a rising star, he turned to fully support Xiang Yu, hoping that he could revive the Chu State and destroy the tyrannical Qin Dynasty.

However, in this time and space, things developed slightly differently.

He and Xiang Yu were not uncle or nephew, and they were not even related by blood.

Xiang Yu was originally a tactical weapon created by the First Emperor based on the methods of ancient immortals, the design of a certain "immortal", and the empire's technology was imitated to the greatest extent.

It goes without saying that his body is extremely strong, and he is also equipped with a magic core comparable to that of a fantasy species. In order to increase his strategic value, he even specially imitated the legendary magic eye - "double pupils", giving him the ability to calculate the future under limited conditions.

In this era, there is probably no weapon that can match it in terms of precision and advancement.

Furthermore, although it is a "weapon", it is completely different from mass-produced combat puppets like the Terracotta Warriors, and it is also different from gigantic decisive battle weapons like the Twelve Golden Men.

You must know that the humanoid weapons created by the ancient immortals are living beings that have completely reproduced human functions and have independent intelligence.

Xiang Yu, who was created by imitating its design, is naturally infinitely close to humans and even has flesh and blood, but his core has logical thinking as precise as a machine.

It would be more appropriate to regard it as an artificial intelligence that has gained intelligence.

The machine was codenamed "Kuaiji Type-0" and was the Qin Empire's finest masterpiece, comparable to the Twelve Golden Men.

(Our Great Qin's science and technology is the best in the world!)

However, this masterpiece was never used until the death of the First Emperor. It was forgotten by everyone and then sealed up.

Later, when the world was in chaos, Xiang Liang accidentally discovered Kuaiji Zero, named him "Xiang Yu", and pulled him into the ranks of resisting the tyranny of Qin as his own nephew.

It is worth mentioning that perhaps Qin Shihuang was too confident at the time, so Xiang Yu’s core order was not to "protect the Qin Dynasty" but to "bring stability to the world."

Even though Xiang Liang obtained certain powers, he was unable to modify the core instructions, so Xiang Yu had been using his own methods to maintain stability in the world.

——This is a normal development in Type-Moon's history.

However, this is a singularity, and history has gone awry somewhere, leading to a huge change in the world situation.

It was no longer a struggle between Qin and the six kingdoms, but both sides had to struggle to survive under the tremendous pressure of the White Huns.

As for Xiang Yu, his way of thinking is now closer to that of humans. In order to gain the trust of the people and soldiers, he has sealed off part of his power and participated in the battle as a "military general" rather than a "weapon."

——He even contracted the terminal illness "tracheitis".

Xiang Yu knew that he had no blood relationship with Xiang Liang, and he even knew that he was being used... but he didn't care.

The basic principle and core instruction of his actions is "to bring peace to the world", so he will protect the people of the six countries from the destruction of the White Huns. Xiang Liang is his benefactor who guided him into human society after he woke up, so he will also obey Xiang Liang's orders.

He had a conflict with Yu Ji because he couldn't bear to punish Xiang Liang. The reason was not as mechanical as "Xiang Liang had the power". Instead, it was because he was too close to humans, so he made irrational judgments because of his emotions.

This time, he also lowered his head and coaxed Yu Ji back with clumsy but sincere words, rescuing Xiang Liang who was ambushed by the fox girl.

Moreover, when Xiang Liang regained his normal sanity, Xiang Yu also forgave him generously.

By the way, although Yu Ji was sometimes very irritable, her tsundere character made her unexpectedly weak in defense when facing an honest man like Xiang Yu, and she was easily defeated. She returned to Xiang Yu with a righteous attitude.

——Jiang Liu felt that he had learned a lot and it was really a good deal!

After that, Jiang Liu and others stayed in Shouchun City for another two months.

The first step to deal with is the refugees brought by Lixiang and others. They were temporarily settled on the mountain occupied by Yu Ji. After agreeing with Xiang Yu, they would be moved down step by step and let them live in Shouchun city or its suburbs.

The villagers are naturally grateful to Lixiang, but let’s not talk about that for now.

Then came a long period of time that was both extremely "fulfilling" and "boring".

In order to actively prepare for war, the coalition forces of the six nations have a lot of work to do. Shouchun is the command center and the largest logistics base, and is of paramount importance. How could Jiang Liu, Lixiang and others, who were considered by Xiang Yu to be "reinforcements sent from heaven", escape?

Clear the wild monsters, help harvest farmland, prepare military supplies, collect Chinese herbs, support the front-line defense...

For two whole months, Jiang Liu felt like a character in an RPG that kept running after mission instructions. After completing a task, he would occasionally hear auditory hallucinations like "Coalition camp reputation +500"!

Ritsuka was very enthusiastic at the beginning, but later on she became listless, and her shiny black hair seemed to have lost its luster.

Then, after a long period of time, the coalition forces of the six nations have made sufficient... the most complete pre-war preparations they could.

But it was still not enough to defeat the White Huns, the main problem lay in the manpower.

The territory occupied by the coalition forces of the six nations is not small, and if they must mobilize, they can gather an army of hundreds of thousands.

However, the untrained recruits were no match for the alienated warriors of the White Huns. Not only could they not form any combat effectiveness on the battlefield, they might even drag down the veterans' formations, causing an unexpected defeat in the battle.

In the entire world, apart from the elite troops under Xiang Yu, the only forces that could compete with the White Huns were the Qin forces that had been concentrated in Guanzhong. A considerable number of them were left over from the time of the First Emperor, and their combat effectiveness was fully guaranteed.

What's more, during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, a large amount of supplies and armaments were stockpiled in Xianyang, and the Afang Palace was the place where all the glory in the world was gathered, so there was no pressure at all on logistics.

However, despite having such abundant supplies, the Qin army was always unable to cope with the White Huns due to morale and many other reasons...Since this was the case, it was obvious what needed to be done.

Ally!

This is the only way out for both parties!

Although they hated each other, compared with the Qin people and the people of the Six Kingdoms, the White Huns seemed completely impossible to communicate with. Rather than being exterminated by such unreasonable monsters, they would rather put aside their hatred for the time being.

An envoy from the Qin State had expressed the intention to form an alliance, and Xiang Yu had to send someone of sufficiently noble status to Xianyang to discuss the specific details of the alliance with the Second Emperor.

When it came to selecting candidates, Xiang Yu chose Li Xiang and the others without hesitation.

There is no other reason than Chaldea's epoch-making communication technology!

During these two months, the greatest contribution of Ritsuka and the others was not completing hundreds of small tasks, but using Chaldea's communicator to transmit messages between Shouchun City and the front line!

This allowed Xiang Yu to learn the latest battle situation no matter where he was, and to issue orders to his soldiers and the base camp in the rear without delay, controlling the army to fight the White Huns as if it were his own arm.

Excellent generals combined with information technology that is ahead of its time brought about effects far beyond imagination.

It was precisely because of this that the Six-Nation Alliance gradually got rid of its decline during these two months, won precious rest time, and had the leisure to consider the issue of alliance.

During this trip, if the alliance is successful, Lixiang and the others will also leave a communication device in Xianyang to facilitate direct contact between Xiang Yu and the Second Emperor, allowing the two sides to cooperate more efficiently.

Of course, there is a possibility that the alliance will fail, so Jiang Liu accompanied them on the journey as a bodyguard.

In addition, Xiang Liang set out on the journey as the main envoy on behalf of Xiang Yu himself - partly because he was targeted by Yu Ji and felt uncomfortable staying in Shouchun.

However, this old general had a deep prejudice against Qin. Although he would promote an alliance between the two sides for the sake of the overall situation, this did not prevent him from continuing to attack Qin personally. He even had to say a few words to the First Emperor when walking on the road...

“Humph, even though that man is powerful, he is just a mortal. He will also grow old, get sick and die, and he will also have the trouble of having an heir.

Haha, it's like a tiger patrolling its territory, traveling around but finally dying on the way. How ironic!

Finally, the throne had to be passed to a little girl. The Qin State couldn't find a suitable candidate. Hehe..."

Jiang Liu didn't care at first, but he was stunned when he heard the following sentence: "Little girl?"

"The Second Emperor, the former Princess Fusu."

Xiang Liang was very confused: "Don't you know?"

Jiang Liu: “…”

Sure enough, something went wrong with this world line!

Chapter 246: The most unforgettable thing

Chidao is not just a road.

According to historical records, this was a super road network that was tens of meters wide in flat areas and converged from counties across the country to Xianyang.

Such a huge project is not inferior to the Great Wall in the north in terms of scale. What is even more rare is that this is the first time since Dayu's flood control in the mythological era that someone has gathered the power of the entire world to carry out unified planning on the territory of China.

It is not limited to one country, one county or one prefecture, but is integrated within the "scope of civilization".

The former Zhou emperor could not do this, nor could the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the great powers of the Warring States Period.

A project of this scale requires not only a strong national strength, but more importantly, the execution ability to convey China's will to every corner of the world, as well as a completely top-down centralized system!

The king, the duke, the emperor... although these figures are noble, they do not have the authority to do such a thing.

This is something that only the "Emperor" can do.

It should be noted that this title does not just sound noble, it is also fundamentally different from the rulers of other civilizations. Even though the title of the highest leaders of some civilizations is translated as "emperor", they are completely different in essence.

Because the emperor of China theoretically possesses "unlimited power."

War, people's livelihood, economy, religion... the final decision-making power on all of these belongs to the same person.

Its authority is even above that of "God"!

In fact, the coronation of Western monarchs requires the recognition of God (religion), while in the East, gods need to be recognized by the emperor to be considered real gods.
