Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

Xiao Yi's eyes burned with a fiery fire, a fusion of reawakened hatred and renewed ambition. Memories surged through his mind like a surging tide: past humiliation, the blood of his people, the shattered homeland—each image cut through his heart like a sharp blade. Within this flame of revenge, there was also a complex and heart-wrenching emotion.

Beside Li Lingyuan, Xiao Yi clenched his fists, his knuckles white. He turned to face the crowd gathered behind him—some of them former clansmen, others innocent civilians suffering from oppression. Among the crowd stood an elderly man, a former close friend of Xiao Yi's father. He looked at Xiao Yi, tears welling in his eyes: "Son, we've waited too long for this day, but the road to revenge is difficult, and many more will die." Xiao Yi's heart ached. He knew the price of revenge, but he could not forget the lives lost.

"We have endured in the darkness for too long. Our loved ones screamed in agony under the enemy's butcher knives, and our homes collapsed under the enemy's iron hoofs." Xiao Yi's voice was powerful and resonant like the sound of a war drum, echoing in everyone's ears. "Today, we will no longer run away. We will take up arms and avenge everything we have lost!"

A roar erupted from the crowd, an outburst of long-suppressed emotions. Xiao Yi began to organize everyone and train those who had no combat experience, while Li Lingyuan used his wisdom to help arrange the storage of supplies and strategic planning. During the training process, there was a young man whose brother had been a minion of the enemy and died in battle. He found Xiao Yi with pain in his eyes: "Brother Xiao Yi, although my brother is guilty, I still can't hate him, but I also want to avenge my people. What should I do?" Xiao Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Hatred cannot continue hatred. We are fighting for justice and to prevent such tragedies from happening again."

They gathered iron ore from the surrounding valleys and forged crude but powerful weapons. Women fashioned flags and bandages from fabrics found in their homes, and children helped spread messages. The entire camp was filled with a tense yet hopeful atmosphere. Based on his memory of the terrain, Xiao Yi mapped the enemy's positions. He knew the enemy was powerful, but they possessed something they lacked—hatred and a deep commitment to freedom. Their plan was to first attack the enemy's supply lines, weakening their fighting capacity.

Under the inky darkness of night, Xiao Yi led an elite squad and quietly infiltrated the enemy's supply camp. Like ghosts, they quickly dispatched the guards. Then, a fire ignited, reducing the rations to ash and the enemy's armory to smithereens. During the operation, one of the team members was shot by an enemy arrow. Before dying, he grasped Xiao Yi's hand and said, "I must succeed. For my family..." Xiao Yi nodded tearfully.

The enemy army immediately fell into chaos, while Xiao Yi's side's morale was greatly boosted. They began to take the initiative and attack small enemy units. In every battle, Xiao Yi led the charge, his swordsmanship so sharp that it seemed to carry a thousand-year-old grudge. During one encounter, the enemy general recognized Xiao Yi and sneered, "You are courting death. Your clan was no match for us back then, let alone now."

Xiao Yi sneered, "Times have changed. Your doom has come!" With that, he charged at the enemy general like lightning, and the two engaged in a fierce battle. Xiao Yi's moves were unpredictable, channeling his inner rage into strength. In the fierce exchange, he gradually gained the upper hand, and with the final blow, he pierced the enemy general's throat.

With each victory, more and more people joined Xiao Yi's team. Their strength continued to grow, and the flames of revenge burned more and more fiercely. However, the enemy also began to pay attention to them and mobilized more troops to encircle and suppress them.

In a massive battle, Xiao Yi's army faced immense pressure. The enemy vastly outnumbered them and was well-equipped. From the outset, Xiao Yi's army was embroiled in a bitter struggle, staining the ground red with blood. A mother watched her son fall on the battlefield. She broke down in tears, but she still grabbed her weapon and charged at the enemy, calling out her son's name.

Li Lingyuan was in charge of logistics and medical care in the rear, but her eyes never left Xiao Yi's figure. Xiao Yi galloped across the battlefield, and his body was covered in wounds, but he had no intention of retreating.

"We cannot be defeated. We carry the hopes of our people!" Xiao Yi shouted, inspiring the demoralized soldiers. They cheered themselves up and united closely, forming an indestructible line of defense.

At a critical moment, Xiao Yi discovered a flaw in the enemy's formation. He acted decisively and led a surprise attack from the flank. This move disrupted the enemy's deployment, causing them to panic. Xiao Yi and his men seized this opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack, and after a fierce battle, they finally repelled the enemy.

The victory in this battle brought Xiao Yi's army widespread fame. Inspired by this victory, more people flocked to join him. Xiao Yi knew they were one step closer to final revenge, but the road ahead was still fraught with obstacles. The enemy would not give up, and they would continue their quest for revenge through blood and fire.

They began to strengthen their training and refine their tactics. Xiao Yi also sent people to contact other nearby forces oppressed by the enemy, hoping to form a strong alliance. Li Lingyuan, on the other hand, worked hard on intelligence gathering, trying to understand the enemy's next move.

During his contacts with other factions, some expressed doubts about Xiao Yi's plan, believing it was a doomed venture. However, Xiao Yi refused to give up, and he impressed some of them with his sincerity and unwavering faith. A tribal leader named Su Yan decided to cooperate with Xiao Yi, bringing with him a well-trained cavalry unit.

"We are all oppressed and our enemies are the same. Only if we unite can we hope to defeat them." Xiao Yi said to Su Yan.

Su Yan nodded: "I believe you, there is an unyielding will in your eyes, let's fight for freedom together!"

With the new forces, Xiao Yi's army was greatly strengthened. They began to plan a larger-scale operation, aiming to attack a key enemy stronghold. This stronghold was the key to the enemy's control of the surrounding area, and taking it would greatly weaken the enemy's power.

In the preparatory stage before the operation, Xiao Yi and his generals carefully studied the terrain of the stronghold and the enemy's defenses. They developed multiple plans to deal with possible emergencies.

On the night of the operation, under a hazy moonlight, Xiao Yi's coalition forces quietly advanced towards the stronghold. As they neared the stronghold, the enemy noticed something was amiss, and battle erupted instantly. Arrows rained down, and shouts of killing shook the air. Xiao Yi led the infantry in the charge, while Su Yan's cavalry flanked and outflanked them.

The enemy's defenses were resolute, relying on strong walls and ample weaponry to resist. But Xiao Yi and his men refused to retreat, charging again and again. Li Lingyuan, in the rear, organized catapults to attack the walls, attempting to clear a path for the soldiers ahead. During the battle, one soldier, to protect his comrades, blocked the enemy's hurling with his body. Before dying, he said to his comrades, "Avenge me..."

After a long and fierce battle, the coalition forces finally broke through the city gates. Xiao Yi led the charge into the city. They engaged in fierce street fighting with the enemy, turning every street into a battlefield. Blood flowed on the cobblestone streets, and corpses piled up like mountains.

At a crucial moment in the battle, Xiao Yi encountered the enemy commander. This commander was an extremely cruel man who had personally ordered the massacre of Xiao Yi's people. When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

"You are finally here. Today is the day you die." The enemy commander said while waving his sword.

"It's time for you to pay for your crimes!" Xiao Yi roared and rushed forward with his sword.

The battle between the two was breathtaking, and the surrounding soldiers consciously made room for them. Their moves were lightning-fast, and sparks flew with every collision. Xiao Yi's swordsmanship was fierce and powerful, while the enemy commander's blade skills were also extremely ferocious.

In the fierce battle, Xiao Yi gradually figured out the enemy commander's tactics. Seizing the perfect moment, he executed a risky maneuver, feigning defeat and luring the commander into a vulnerable position. The commander fell for the trick and pursued him with all his might, only to be met with a sudden, swift thrust from Xiao Yi, who spun around and stabbed him in the chest. This single strike, condensed with all of Xiao Yi's hatred and strength, pierced the commander's armor and pierced his heart.

The enemy commander's eyes widened, unable to believe he had been defeated. With his fall, the enemy's morale completely collapsed. Xiao Yi led the coalition forces to pursue the victory and captured the stronghold in one fell swoop.

This victory was a milestone, giving more people hope. The surrounding enemies began to feel fear, while Xiao Yi and his men continued to grow stronger. They repaired their strongholds, trained new soldiers, and prepared to face greater challenges.

However, the enemy would not sit still and wait for death. They united to form a large coalition army, ready to launch a final encirclement and suppression of Xiao Yi and his men. After hearing the news, Xiao Yi knew that this would be a life-and-death battle that would determine his fate.

He summoned all the generals and soldiers and delivered a pre-battle speech: "We have come this far, through countless hardships and dangers. We have shed too much blood for revenge and freedom. Now, the enemy is upon us once again, but we will not be afraid. We are fighting for justice, and behind us are our loved ones and our homes. We will defend our dignity with our lives and let the enemy know that we are invincible!"

The soldiers were excited, shouting battle slogans, ready to face the upcoming battle. Xiao Yi and the generals began to deploy defenses nervously. They set up multiple lines of defense around the stronghold, ready to use the terrain advantage to deal with the enemy.

On the day of the battle, the sky was thick with gloom, as if foreshadowing the brutality of the battle. The enemy coalition forces surged forward like a tide, stretching as far as the eye could see. Xiao Yi stood on the city wall, gazing at the enemy without the slightest fear in his heart.

"Shoot!" He gave the order, and a swarm of arrows flew towards the enemy like locusts. The front rank of the enemy fell, but those behind continued to advance.

The enemy began to attack the city, with ladders and catapults. Xiao Yi's army put up a fierce resistance, using stones, hot oil and other weapons to repel the enemy's attacks again and again.

The battle lasted all day, with both sides suffering heavy losses. As night fell, the enemy temporarily ceased their attacks, but Xiao Yi knew it was only a brief lull. He toured the city, comforting the wounded and encouraging everyone to persevere.

The next day, the battle intensified. The enemy sent out elite commandos to try to break through the city gates. Xiao Yi personally led his soldiers to defend the gates, and a desperate battle ensued. In the fierce battle, Xiao Yi was seriously wounded, but he remained steadfast. In an attempt to save Xiao Yi, a soldier was pierced by an enemy spear. He said to Xiao Yi, "Sir, you must win..."

Li Lingyuan was extremely anxious. She led medical personnel to the rear to treat the wounded as best she could. At the same time, she was also thinking about how to defeat the enemy. While observing the battlefield situation, she found that the enemy's rear was in some chaos, as if there was a supply problem.

Li Lingyuan quickly told Xiao Yi the news, and Xiao Yi acted decisively, sending a surprise force through a secret passage in the city to the rear of the enemy and attack their supply camp. This move disrupted the enemy's deployment, forcing them to split up and return to support.

Xiao Yi seized this opportunity and led his troops in a counterattack. They charged at the enemy like a tiger descending from a mountain. In the melee, Xiao Yi once again demonstrated his astonishing fighting prowess. Enduring the pain, he fought the enemy, each strike laced with the determination to kill.

After a thrilling battle, Xiao Yi's army finally repelled the enemy coalition. This victory was hard-won and they paid a huge price, but they successfully defended their dignity and freedom.

After the war, Xiao Yi looked at the devastated battlefield with a lot of emotion in his heart. They came for revenge, but in the process, they also gained courage, unity and hope.

They believed that the next decisive battle would be a success and that they would be able to regain what they had lost. He still remembered the past, that country, that society, and that people.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan huddled together, convinced that they would resolve this tragic experience of displacement, appease the souls of the fallen civilians and soldiers, and make the foreign invaders who brutally murdered the people pay the price. This time, he would eradicate this foreign invasion.

After this battle, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan decided to take a break and recuperate. They knew that the final battle would soon take place, a battle that would determine their true fate. They believed that they would seek revenge, rebuild their homeland, and return to a better life.
