The imperial system adopted by the Xinglan Empire is based on the monarchy management of most of the countries of the Human Alliance. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, under this system, the state management is separate from the military power and the political power, just like the Xinglan Empire, the military department is composed of generals mainly from the four major legions, who are directly subordinate to the emperor and are not controlled by any other forces or local governors. And the many cities and regions of the empire were managed by the lords under the empress, which was equivalent to the provincial system divided by the country where Qin Lan was located in his previous life. Lieges have a high degree of autonomy within their domains, and they can even make their own laws, but there are some things that are strictly restricted. Except for the guards who maintain the security of the territory, the lords cannot build and own armies privately, in short, the lords have administrative power, but not military power.

However, in general, the legions of the Empire are based in a territory. For example, the station of the Raging Lan Legion is Lu Yunling in the empire. Lu Yunling's capital is on the southeast coast, with Luyun Port as the development center, it is a rather huge and rich city, and it is also the fat in the eyes of the Sea Clan, therefore, the Raging Lan Legion is actually less than fifty kilometers away from Lu Yun City, and if it advances at full speed, it will take at most an hour to reach under the tall city walls of Lu Yun City.

Therefore, in order to avoid the establishment of private contacts between the lord and the legion commander, thus affecting the emperor's grasp of the imperial military power, the imperial constitution stipulates that the lord and the major legions are not allowed to communicate at will, and even when building a teleportation circle for communication, there is a restriction that the two sides can only communicate with each other once a month, and the time cannot exceed thirty minutes. At other times, communication can only make the messenger with fast legs run back and forth.

The guest that the Raging Lan Legion welcomed today was the messenger who rushed from Lu Yuncheng, and he brought a piece of news that made Fu Zhiyi even more angry, and Yun Xianglan's face changed even more beside him, and his mind went blank.

The Rags are finished, and the Ragstorms have taken refuge with the Faithful King.

It's just a matter of a few days.

The commander of the Violent Flame Legion, Xiahou Zhen, out of loyalty to the empress, personally led 50,000 cavalry to the imperial capital to investigate the truth, if the matter is really as the Faithful King said, he does not mind leading his men to sweep the Raglan Legion with iron horses. But it took two days and one night to rush to the imperial capital, Xiahou Zhen, before he entered the palace, he was poured by the poisonous wine of the faithful king, which cannot be blamed on him, although Xiahou Zhen and the faithful king were not close in the past, but they were good friends who could speak, which of course was inseparable from the faithful king's deliberate currying favor with the friend, and he was simply unguarded and tricked. Fortunately, Xiahou really has good strength, and the Loyal King planned to detain him to blackmail the Violent Flame Legion, so he didn't have that kind of deadly poison, so Xiahou Zhen fought hard to get out of the city and return to the cavalry garrison under the desperate protection of the guards. However, at this time, the faithful king did not intend to let him go alive.

Xiahou Zhen's 50,000 cavalry was slaughtered by the regular army, and the banner of that army was still very familiar to Xiahou Zhen, and he belonged to the same fury as one of the four major legions.

Although Xiahou Zhen tried his best, he was poisoned first, and when he came out, his deputy stayed in the legion, and no one could replace him at this moment to command the army to fight, and the 50,000 tired cavalry of the Storm Legion faced the more numerous and better equipped Fury Legion, and the fate naturally did not need to be narrated.

When the men who had followed him for many years died one after another, Xiahou Zhenlao burst into tears, almost collapsed, and fainted several times in succession. Fortunately, some of the pro-soldiers were smarter, and after changing clothes with him, they pretended to be him to command the army to continue to retreat while fighting bloodily, but in fact, a small group of cavalry dismounted and took the fainted Xiahou Zhen to pretend to be dead and then secretly left from the chaotic army.

The small group of deserters was lucky enough to escape to the nearest Tianfu Territory, only to learn of another, even more heart-wrenching news.

The Storm Flame Fortress, which had been guarded by the Storm Flame Legion for hundreds of years, was lost, and all the soldiers of the Storm Flame Legion survived, and the heads of countless loyal warriors of the empire were hung three times around the walls of the fortress by the orcs.

It turned out that on the night after Xiahou Zhen left the fortress, Yun Qinglan was drugged in the drinking water of the fortress...... No one would think to guard against him, after all, his status is noble. Then the next day, the soldiers in the fortress began to fall ill in groups, unfortunately, Xiahou Zhen's adjutant was also tricked, and he reluctantly ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, but he did not expect that in the evening, the vanguard army of the orcs arrived outside the fortress.

The orcs did not hesitate at all, and directly attacked the city, and as time passed, the orc army gathered more and more that night, and they seemed to have been drawn in a hurry, so the formation was very scattered, but even so, the Storm Fortress did not survive the night. When the city wall was in an emergency, the deputy commander who was the chief general of the city was not there, and a group of subordinates were forced to break into his bedroom directly, only to find that he could not die anymore with wide eyes and a face full of shock and anger.

So these subordinates hurriedly contacted the nearby Lingchuan Commander and asked them to quickly find a way to inform the corps commander Xiahou Zhen to rush back.

However, the Flame Fortress fell in the early hours of the morning, and did not last until dawn.

Originally, there were nearly 200,000 soldiers in the fortress, although they were unwell, but they had the advantage of defending the city, and they should not have lost the fortress so quickly, at least for three or five days without any problems. But at dawn, the thick gates were opened, and the raging orcs rushed in...... The lord of the Lingchuan Lords knew that the military situation was urgent, and he quickly contacted the imperial capital, and the Loyal King immediately said that he would deal with it. However, once the orcs broke in, it was his Lingchuan Lord, who suffered first, so the Lingchuan Lord then contacted several other lords to inform the military situation and ask for assistance. At the same time, he also sent the city guards of his own territory to the Storm Fortress, and it is always good to have more strength.

But when the city guards arrived outside the Storm Fortress the next morning, they saw the dense heads of the fortress, and the flag at the top of the fortress was no longer the Imperial Star Banner, but the golden lion flag of the orcs fluttering in the wind.

The Flame Legion is finished!

The lord of the Lingchuan Domain immediately ordered the evacuation of the inhabitants of the territory, but he himself did not evacuate. From the day he took over Lingchuan, he thought that he would have such a day, and now he can't withdraw, although he can't delay the pace of the orcs for long, he still has to insist, this is his accusation as a lord, and it is also his mission.

At the same time, the Kaiyang Territory in the northeast of the empire issued a warning at the same time...... The entire army of the Furious Wind marched south. After receiving a letter from the Lingchuan Lord, the lord of the Kaiyang Domain tried to contact the Furious Wind Legion, and in any case, as a member of the Empire, he hoped that the Angry Wind Legion would send several teams to the southwest front to support. However, I was never able to get in touch. So the lord of the Kaiyang Domain sent a messenger, but the messenger's return surprised him.

The Rystor's garrison was empty, and the buildings had long since been empty.
