Chapter 4, The Heart of Youth in the Spring Breeze

The road to the west is expected to reach the destination, the last city of the Second Prince, Gukou City, by tomorrow afternoon

Suddenly, among the more than ten people, a shadow flashed and swiftly darted towards the princess. At the same time, a white light erupted beside Dayunyang, followed by a sound of "clang!", which seemed to be the sound of two swords clashing.

Everyone looked at him with curiosity, but only the princess's eyes revealed a glimmer of light.

Not long after waiting, a cloud of dust appeared in the distance, and over three hundred cavalry slowly came into view

The one who has arrived is the princess who always wears a fine veil, but why is she covering her eyes as well

Dayunyang then discovered that the more than ten enemies had already been subdued by his own men, and that not a single person on his side had been injured. It seemed that these were all elite soldiers, possibly even Su Lin's personal guard

Then, the soldiers all hastily mounted their horses, but in their hearts, they were likely still concerned about whether Su Lin had brought people with him, while at the same time preparing to either flee or confront the enemy

The shadow parried a sword strike and retreated several steps, allowing everyone to see that she was actually a young and beautiful woman around 21 or 22 years old

Dayun Yang was filled with inexplicable astonishment, my goodness, what kind of speed is this! It far exceeds the limits of human capability; the world athletes and various fighters of the past appear as mere children in comparison to these two individuals

"To kill?" Dayunyang lay back down on the grass, gazing at the starry sky. "Isn't that just the destruction of a living being? No one has the right to control or destroy another life, not even the gods, because that is a right inherent to life itself, isn't it?"

Perhaps after a few days of pursuit, and one day of defense here, everyone will feel tired, but despite the fatigue, no one dares to let their guard down. Haha, let down your guard? Are you joking? Who is he? He is the leader of the Order of the Radiant Knights, and the swordsman Su Lin of the Library of Lingyue. You must be out of your mind. This is probably the thought of everyone here.

We do not have any spare horses to switch to, so we cannot rush our journey. Moreover, I believe everyone is hungry, so it would be better for us to take a break here, have something to eat, and wait for the enemy.

When everyone was stunned, Da Yunyang was equally astonished

Upon seeing this, Dayunyang arranged them in a horizontal line.

The weapons of the 2030s in the 21st century far exceeded everyone's imagination. Within just a few dozen seconds, over a hundred cavalrymen were left with their bodies strewn across the ground. The artifacts unearthed from this ancient site are indeed very powerful

Indeed, does the princess still remember the previous battle? Why did more than ten of the enemies survive while only their horses perished? Perhaps it is because I insisted on sparing lives, but this poses too great a danger to our own people

As spring has only recently arrived and the days are still short, everyone, after having their meal, lay down around the campfire to rest

Responsibilities and Stance

Haha, of course, I have studied psychology, and I also know many principles that you do not possess... How beautiful!

Xie Rusi's eyes are blue, resembling the blue of the ocean, like an unfathomable abyss, and akin to blue gemstones, radiating an inexplicable brilliance. At a glance, it seems as if they could draw in one's very soul

"I apologize, am I disturbing you?" The sound of silver bells, with a captivating tone

That afternoon, at dusk, the group chose a location for their camp, and of course, it was the soldiers who were responsible for foraging for game and various fruits for dinner

Then the white light was Sulin, clad in silver armor. His longsword remained sheathed, having just used the scabbard to block Lixianying's strike. He continued to gaze at Lixianying before slowly turning his head and saying: "Qing... Captain Li, please take your subordinates and leave... Go on, farewell..."

This, this, hehe, sorry, would you like to listen to music? He felt quite disappointed when he saw Xie Rusi lower her veil, but she nodded in agreement.

... Lin, when we meet again, will you still remember me? ... Perhaps ... ... farewell ... ...

Perhaps, I mean perhaps, if there were less human activity, the Earth would appear to be healthier, like the grassland before me and the air. I swear, the 21st century absolutely does not have such a clear environment; even the starry sky is so distinct.

After the enemy charged, there was another round of frenzied sweeping. When the ammunition of the crowd ran out, only a little over ten enemies remained, and all their horses had been shot dead, leaving only the men at the front.

After Dayunyang handed over several firearms to Su Lin's soldiers, he called a few people downstairs to select enough guns. Except for Su Lin and the princess, everyone else was equipped with a lightweight rapid-fire gun. Thus, this weapon, which had disappeared from Earth for eight hundred years, reappeared on the planet.

The spring breeze blows, and there are songs in the wind, those are the melodies of the divine youth that have been speculated upon by future generations for countless years

The spring breeze, indifferent to romance, stirs the hearts of the youth. The melody floated through the camp, and everyone looked up, captivated by a tune they had never heard before.

This flash was as quick as lightning, and everyone could only see some shadows. However, Da Yunyang, who had received martial arts training and had reflexes superior to most, could only discern that there were two human figures.

At the command of a single shout, the cavalry began to charge towards the enemy

I think, if that tall handsome guy were to come to my era, hehe, it might cause a sensation worldwide! A superhero indeed!

After that, Dayunyang used the super watch to connect to the central computer of the building and shut down the relic. Shortly thereafter, when Dayunyang informed everyone about the use of firearms, he prepared to leave

The group rode the enemy's horses at a rapid pace for half the morning, and then, at Dayunyang's suggestion, they stopped to regroup and rest

A cavalry squad of over one hundred men is currently stationed to the west of the ruins. This squad is part of the pursuit of Su Lin and others, and they are all skilled and valiant soldiers.

Behind Dayunyang and the princess, Su Lin lay there.

At this moment, her complexion was slightly pale, yet it accentuated her haughty demeanor even more. Her features were like a painting, her skin as white as snow, and her pride seemed to penetrate to the bone. This was complemented by her long black hair that reached her calves and her black tight-fitting armor, resembling a celestial fairy or a black lotus.

This weapon is quite powerful. Even ordinary soldiers who have never experienced the existence of magic, once they possess this weapon, their combat ability would likely reach the level of a warrior capable of fighting one against a hundred, only slightly inferior to my own level as a knight capable of fighting one against a thousand. It is truly terrifying, especially with the sudden appearance of dozens of warriors. Sulin gazed at the corpses scattered before him.

It seems I underestimated him; I did not expect this child to be so unfathomable. Not to mention whether he possesses sword techniques or magic, just in terms of his wisdom, he may have already surpassed me. Moreover, he has also conducted research on ancient wisdom. I truly wonder what other surprises he might bring forth in the future. Su Lin silently watched the excited Da Yunyang.

Do not panic, follow Captain Li's instructions, just avoid getting close to Su Lin, and then take the opportunity to seize the princess. Remember, whoever accomplishes this will be granted a title of nobility and rewarded with vast riches. After saying this, the squad leader took out a signal flare from his pocket and shot it into the sky

Indeed, in chaotic times... a princess, perhaps in the future I too will take lives, but I will only kill those who deserve it, regardless of my responsibilities or my position

Hmph! Xie Rusi noticed that Dayun and Tu Shuyang were staring at him in a daze, and her face turned red. She deliberately let out a hum.

"... Young Master, thank you. I have never encountered a sage like you, nor have I ever heard such profound words. Thank you, and by the way, my name is Xie Rusi." The princess lowered her veil slightly, revealing her eyes, as if she wanted to take a closer look at Dayunyang.

Therefore, I will still mourn for the lives that have passed, yet I will also rejoice for the rising sun

Then, without waiting for the princess to speak, he said: "I understand, princess, you must be as heartbroken as I am, grieving for the loss of life. However, princess, we are not destroying other lives; we are merely struggling against fate. We have our responsibilities. Therefore, I will feel pain for those who have died, but I will not regret it, for I have my reasons."

Su Lin walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said: "This is war..." Before he could finish his sentence, the meaning was already clear. No matter how formidable he may be, he is still just a child

Suddenly, a sound erupted, a sound that had disappeared from Earth for eight hundred years, now resonated once again

Can we chat? I apologize, perhaps I am being a bother

Li Qianying gazed deeply at Su Lin, then took the lead and walked east. Only then did the others notice that the hand holding the sword had already split open at the tiger's mouth.

Gradually, Su Lin and the others appeared within sight. However, it was strange that on Su Lin's side, which consisted of fewer troops and was entirely made up of infantry, the formation they adopted was a horizontal line, facing a cavalry force that outnumbered them by more than two times. It almost seemed as if they were welcoming the cavalry's charge. Was this the formation arranged by Su Lin? That man, who is renowned alongside Captain Dos...

Dayunyang's eyes regained a hint of clarity, and he gently nodded, saying: "Let's go"

After the figures of Li Qianying and the others disappeared, Su Lin and the librarian took the lead to mount their horses and head west

She stared at Su Lin and said, "Please, Commander Su, grant Li Qianying a death. If it is to die by your sword..."

The princess fell silent

Whether it was the formidable power of the firearms from earlier or the strategies established later, they both revealed the extraordinary nature of Dayunyang. Moreover, he possessed a unique charisma that compelled obedience, leading everyone to develop a peculiar sense of trust in what he said

... ...

No, it's fine... Is there something you need?

At that moment, several sentinels simultaneously sounded the alarm, which was the signal for the enemy's approach

Let's go

You are truly a remarkable person, are you just a child? ... Perhaps, your wisdom could even change this chaotic world ...

The princess seemed very agitated, her body trembling slightly. After a while, she said: "I never knew any of this. I truly feel so sad watching everyone kill each other..."

Dayun Yang smiled, took a blade of grass in his hand, placed it by his mouth, and blew out a very old song, yet it was one that no one here had ever heard before

"No, I just want to chat with you. Hehe..." Perhaps Dayunyang's expression was too amusing and too easy to guess, which made the princess unable to hold back her laughter

Is there something? What is it? Do you want the gun in my hand? This is my only weapon right now, especially in this world filled with superheroes.

Sure, hehe, princess, what would you like to ask? The voice is very pleasant; if a person were as beautiful as their voice, I wonder what kind of beauty that would be.

Can you tell me why you hate killing? And why did you recover so quickly afterwards

Why? Why must it be done this way? It could be resolved better, for instance, by simply killing their horses and then surrounding them. Isn't that a possibility...

Dayunyang lay on a small slope, his eyes gazing at the sky
