"Don't let him escape!"
"Chase him!"
A group of Shogunate Army soldiers ran past the invisible Yu Jin. Seeing that everyone had been lured away, Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't expected to be chased as soon as he arrived in Inazuma. Was this truly worthy of an A-rank commission?
"This feeling seems a bit familiar," Yu Jin stroked his chin, then suddenly realized that this was just his daily life before.
However, the old him would have eliminated everyone who chased him, but he couldn't do that now, because he still wanted to enjoy his time in Inazuma.
Moreover, the Shogunate Army soldiers chasing him weren't zombies or madmen.
"Sigh, it seems I can only deliver the letter first." Yu Jin took out the envelope and looked at the address on it.
Destination Yashiori Island, let's go!
To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts, Yu Jin decided to take the sea route.
On a small beach, Yu Jin began his long voyage again.
On the calm shore, small waves gently swelled. That was Yu Jin swimming; at this moment, he wasn't as unrestrained as he was when crossing the open sea.
Mainly because he was afraid of being beaten by Inazuma's Tenryou Commission.
"Kill!"
"Die!"
Angry roars came from afar, accompanied by a faint scent of blood.
Yu Jin immediately had another PTSD attack. No way, why is there still war here?!
He had been fighting and killing for tens of thousands of years; why couldn't he find a peaceful place to have some fun?
"Forget it, there are people here anyway, I'll ask for directions." Yu Jin muttered to himself. He only had an Inazuma map bought from Mondstadt, and its quality was very poor.
This kind of map could at most lead him to Inazuma's landmark locations; as for more details, it depended on the owner's comprehension.
Nazuchi Beach is located at the junction of Yashiori Island and Kannazuka.
In peacetime, this was the only land passage connecting the east and west of Inazuma, with an endless stream of people coming and going.
But in times of war, this place became a strategic point that military strategists would contend for.
Not to mention that the current war was between the resistance, led by Watatsumi Island in the westernmost part of Inazuma, and the Shogunate Army, led by Narukami Island, the main eastern island of Inazuma.
Since the Raiden Shogun issued the Vision Hunt Decree not long ago, a large number of Vision wielders fled to Watatsumi Island for refuge.
It was precisely because of this that Watatsumi Island gained the strength to contend with the Shogunate. If it were just this, it wouldn't have reached the point of rebellion.
The most serious impact was still brought by the Sakoku Decree. Watatsumi Island's land was extremely barren and usually required large imports of grain.
However, after the Sakoku Decree was issued, grain imports drastically decreased, and grain prices soared. This situation had continued for several years.
This Vision Hunt Decree, rather than being the direct cause of the resistance's rebellion, was more like the fuse for the outbreak of conflict between Watatsumi Island and Narukami Island since the Sakoku Decree.
When Yu Jin swam to Nazuchi Beach, the war had already entered a fierce stage. Shogunate soldiers in purple armor and resistance soldiers in red helmets were already fighting with bloodshot eyes.
On the battlefield, shouts of killing shook the heavens, and blood continuously flowed on the beach. One person fell, and another immediately took their place.
From time to time, various elemental lights exploded, beautiful yet taking the lives of a large number of soldiers.
Yu Jin felt an endless stream of souls pouring into his body, making his nose wrinkle in annoyance.
Just now, there were only dozens of Hilichurl souls in his body, but now they suddenly surged to hundreds.
And they were different from Hilichurls. Hilichurls had no attachments; he just needed to give them a complete life within his body.
But these soldiers were different! Yu Jin had to clean up their mess! The deceased would generate darkness, and the Sun God's duty was to dispel darkness.
Although he didn't mind, who could be happy when their workload inexplicably increased?
"Fight, fight, fight! What the hell are you fighting for?!" Annoyed, Yu Jin cursed.
He looked around and saw a tall, voluptuous woman with a tengu mask askew on her head, locked in combat with a slightly petite man with beast ears and a tail, in the center of the battlefield.
Both of them were Vision wielders, and judging by the commotion they caused, they were most likely the strongest individuals on this battlefield.
However, although they were entangled in combat, both were skilled archers. As they moved and dodged, arrows flew out from time to time.
Unfortunately, the DMG they inflicted on each other was limited. Instead, the soldiers behind them suffered, with unlucky soldiers often being hit by stray arrows, either severely wounded or losing their lives.
War was like this; no one knew if they would be the next to die, full of uncertainty.
Yu Jin watched them shoot arrows at each other, and suddenly an enormous greatbow appeared in his hand.
The greatbow was nearly three meters long, completely rust-black, and the entire bow seemed to be twisted from countless steel bars. Its bowstring was as thick as a thumb, with a unique metallic luster flowing on it.
Was this really a weapon for humans?
Golem Greatbow – A black stone greatbow made with ancient ruin civilization technology, a weapon used by Ruin Guards.
It wasn't meant for humans in the first place!
Yu Jin took out an iron-forged arrow, over two meters long, and placed it on the bowstring.
Golem Great Arrow – A black stone great arrow made with ancient ruin civilization technology, capable of carrying wind to fly towards its target.
"Shhh-shhh-shhh!" As soon as the Golem Great Arrow touched the bowstring, a massive gale gathered from the arrowhead. The solid, whitish hurricane vortex emitted a restless rustling sound.
It was already eager to pierce through the enemy's body.
The blood-stained sand stirred by the gale hit everyone's faces. Even amidst the battlefield, everyone calmed down.
They suddenly noticed that at some point, a strange figure in full iron armor had appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
The strange figure's arms were fully spread, and the giant bow he held diagonally seemed impossible to draw, yet it was drawn.
Everyone who saw the gathering storm felt a tightening in their hearts; they felt as if they were being targeted by something extremely dangerous.
"Disperse!!!" Kujou Sara and Gorou simultaneously stopped their attacks and shouted loudly at the Sergeants behind them.
"Swoosh—" A sharp, ear-piercing wind howl echoed across the entire battlefield!
"Rumble!" A massive gale, carrying immense power, surged forth! Many people were directly knocked to the ground by this gale!
In just an instant, a several-meter-wide trench ran through the entire battlefield. Before everyone could exclaim in awe, another deafening explosion sounded.
"Bang!!!" In the distant sea, the power contained within the arrow was completely unleashed in an extremely violent manner.
The visible shockwave distorted Vision, instantly raising towering waves upon contact with the sea surface.
Looking down from above, the circular shockwave had a diameter of tens of meters! Its immense power directly pressed a semi-circular void into the sea surface!
"Phew—, awesome!" Yu Jin rubbed his arm. It was worth it that he had also used Piercing Shot; the power was truly impressive.
Indeed, explosions are art!
"Hmm? What's wrong? What's wrong? Not fighting anymore?" Yu Jin turned around, looking at the stunned crowd, and said teasingly.
Everyone shrank their heads. Fight with what? Any clear-headed person could tell that if anyone really fought, this person would definitely kill them first.
"Both leaders, come over, let's talk." Yu Jin shouted loudly, then he saw the two who had just been fighting emerge from the crowd.
"This… "
"Yu Jin."
"Lord Yu Jin, what can we do for you?" Kujou Sara spoke first. Although this person's strength was indeed the greatest she had ever witnessed, in her heart, the General was still superior.
"Nothing much, I'm lost. Just asking for directions to Higi Village." Yu Jin said a joking remark with a serious expression.
Kujou Sara and Gorou's eyes twitched. Just for this?
However, Gorou's heart secretly rejoiced. Higi Village was currently territory controlled by the resistance. If such a powerful individual could be brought into the resistance's ranks, then… "Don't even think about it. I'm only going to Higi Village because I was entrusted to, and I have nothing to do with the people there." Yu Jin saw through Gorou's thoughts and spoke to shatter his beautiful dream.
And Kujou Sara also breathed a sigh of relief. There were already many Vision wielders on the resistance's side; if an unknown Yu Jin were added, it would truly be troublesome.
They then told Yu Jin the location of Higi Village in detail, and Yu Jin kept nodding along.
After everything was done, Yu Jin looked at the soldiers still confronting each other in the distance, and he said:
"War is complex. I don't understand the specific reasons for your war, so I won't stop it. I clearly understand that some things indeed require a fight to be properly discussed."
"I only hope that you can exercise restraint. War, after all, always involves death." After speaking, Yu Jin sighed, then disappeared into the distance.
