The next day, the rare rainstorm ended, and the morning sun shone through the curtains of the inn.

When Shirakawa got up, Sterling and Wenhe were gone, their beds neatly folded, as if they had never slept at all.

Looking at the empty bed, Shirakawa was stunned, she couldn't figure out if last night's chance encounter was a dream.

But thankfully, there's something to prove.

When Shirakawa came downstairs, a tall and thin man dressed as a villager came up and greeted: "Lord Shirakawa? Master Stirling has commanded me to lead the way for you, and to be at your command. ”

"Ah, thank you so much!" Shirakawa looked at the non-commissioned officer, his dark skin, thick lips, loyal and honest face, coupled with his rustic dress, no different from a local peasant.

"So, let's go, shall we?" asked Shirakawa.

Brown smiled innocently, "My lord, I don't know how you got here. But if you go further in your dress, you will be stopped by the demon patrol in less than ten miles. Your Excellency has already ordered you to change your clothes, and I am ready. ”

When Bai Chuan and the accompanying Far Eastern Army masters went upstairs to change their clothes and came down, everyone couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

Brown was a genius at makeup, and he dressed everyone in tattered clothes and smeared a layer of dirt on his face.

Immediately, everyone's temperament was completely different, and their sharpness and fierceness were covered up by their shabby clothes, like a group of villagers who were going to the city to catch the market.

But Brown was still not satisfied, he carefully looked at Shirakawa for a long time, sighed and said, "The people are like, but your mounts are so good, how can a group of peasants ride their horses into the city?"

He took a few live donkeys, and said to Shirakawa in a kind and innocent tone: "How about you replace your war horses with donkeys? ”

"Then our war horses ......"

Brown said with a smile: "The donkey shop can occasionally change to sell war horses. Everyone is contributing to the defeat of the demons, so I will make a sacrifice, I will not charge you any fees, and a war horse can be exchanged for a first-class blue and white donkey!"

Looking at his majestic and handsome war horses, and then at the sick "high-grade blue and white donkeys", Bai Chuan looked at him for a while and asked, "Did Your Excellency work under a guy named Zi Chuan Xiu before?"

Brown was surprised: "Oh, how do you know, my lord? I used to be in the Black Flag Army, and I only reorganized into the Southeast Army this year. ”

After changing clothes, Shirakawa and his party set off on donkeys leisurely.

When the demons attacked, the soldiers and civilians of Ankara Province put up fierce resistance, and the demons reciprocated with brutal suppression.

Shirakawa passed all the way, and there were destroyed cottages everywhere, leaving traces of the brutal claws of the demon army everywhere.

Many towns were burned to the ground, and the inhabitants were slaughtered in the most brutal ways, leaving not even the corpses behind.

Bai Chuan passed through a village, everything in the village was burned down, and the trees on both sides of the road were full of ** corpses, which were demon soldiers who hung the whole village alive, regardless of men, women, and children, on the trees on both sides of the road, and groups of wild dogs were gnawing at the corpses, and large flocks of crows and vultures were circling in the sky, and the pungent smell of corpses was so smoky that people couldn't breathe.

The group walked silently through the passage between the corpses, and Shirakawa roughly calculated that at least two or three hundred civilians had been slaughtered in this village alone, and there were countless such villages on the road.

Houses were razed to the ground, people were slaughtered, fertile fields were scorched, and the once prosperous and fertile land was turned into uninhabited scorched earth ruins, and no natural disaster, not even earthquakes and floods, could cause such damage.

The demons slaughtered so brutally and frantically, which was unimaginable to the soldiers of the Xiuzi Battalion.

Not even the most ferocious beast could do it, and a sapient creature could do such an extermination of man!

After one uninhabited village, ruins and scorched earth after another, grief and anger grew in their chests, and the soldiers of the Xiuzi battalion clenched their weapons and vowed to make the blood debt of the demon clan pay for it with blood.

After Ankara Province, there are two roads to Dìdū. The first is to go to Oshang, which is still in the hands of the Zichuan army. However, since Oss is still a war zone, it is necessary to pass through the guò front, and the blockade of the demons is very tight. Because of his meeting with Sterling, Shirakawa did not take the province of Oss but the province of Bartley to Dìdū.

While passing through the provincial capital of Bartley, Shirakawa deliberately went into the city for a walk.

Because the city was surrendered by Ma Wei to the demons, compared to the ruins of the city after the defenders and the demons fought repeatedly along the way, the city is still intact and densely populated.

Bartley City, one of the oldest ancient cities of the Zichuan family. Shirakawa traveled to the city as a child, and she was fascinated by the quaint city. Now, when she revisits, it feels completely different.

The city is still the city, with pointed roofs, green chimneys, arcades full of evergreen vine branches and leaves, and poplars at the entrance of the park in the center of the city will still flutter lightly fluttering poplars, like warm rose petals swirling over the street and falling to the roof.

The qiē is still exactly the same as it was a few years ago, except that the ruler of the city has changed.

The city is full of demons, all kinds of skin demon soldiers wander the streets of the city proudly, and when they see a demon coming from a distance, humans have to immediately avoid the side of the road and bow as well. If there is even the slightest disrespect, you will be severely beaten or killed.

In the inhabitants of the city, the beautiful expressions of warmth, cheerfulness, hospitality, etc., are no longer visible.

The inhabitants were wary and suspicious of strangers, and people hurried as if there was an invisible devil chasing after them.

In this city, there is only one kind of people who are happy, and that is the demons, and perhaps those scum who have taken refuge in the demons.

In the city, Shirakawa more than once encountered the supply and baggage convoys of the demons passing through the city, and they were supplying the demon army fighting on the front line.

The long convoy was full of rice and wheat, and the demons followed behind, shouting cattle and sheep, and the demon soldiers on horseback were all fat and fat, arrogant, and proud.

The demon generals who were originally in a poor land entered the anointed land of human beings, and they quickly became blessed.

Looking at their smug faces, looking at their fierce murderous aura, and calm expressions, it is clear that they have regarded themselves as the masters of this land.

The sound of the iron hooves of the demon cavalry stepping on the stone pavement seemed to be the groaning of the stone slabs under the iron hooves of the invaders.

Further back, there was a large group of human men with their hands tied behind their backs, and the demon cavalry drove them forward with whips, like driving cattle and sheep, and those men had sluggish and indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they were numb to a qiē.

And on both sides of the road, the people of mankind bowed like straws overwhelmed by a storm.

Bai Chuan whispered to passers-by to inquire about the situation, and passers-by told her that these were all strong men forcibly recruited by the demons in the occupied area, and they would be used as laborers to help the demons build fortresses and build camps for duty.

Bai Chuan was shocked and said, "God, can a man in the prime of life be tied up by a thin rope? Won't he resist and run away? How can you endure such ravages and destruction?"

"What can we do?" the passer-by smiled bitterly: "The family army has been defeated, and it is said that the demon clan has even taken the dìdū! Originally, everyone was counting on General Stirling, but it is said that he also captured the demon clan alive, what can we ordinary people do? We have no weapons in our hands, and no one leads us." Whatever the demons want, we will give them something, they will plunder and rob, and we will serve it obediently. If they want food, we have to empty the rice jar in the house, and if they want livestock, we have to open the door of the enclosure, drive out all the pigs, sheep and cattle in the house, and say with a smile: 'Please, old man, please feel free!' If you dare to hide even a little piglet, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the demon soldiers will hang the whole village. Even though they plundered our property, we still had to wait by with a smile on our faces, praising the 'wisdom of the Protoss' and calling 'Long live our emperor'!"

Passers-by said, smiling miserably.

Shirakawa didn't expect that people's fear would reach such a point that they would lose all their fighting spirit.

She really wanted to tell him that Dìdū had not fallen, that General Stirling had not been captured, that the family was still fighting, and that there were still unyielding warriors resisting the advance of the demons on the banks of the Vagne, but for some reason, the words came to her lips, and in the end she still didn't say it.

What made Shirakawa most angry was not seeing the demons, but meeting those scum among the human race.

In Bartley's inns and hotels, she listened and observed, and there were always some shameless humans surrounding the demon officers.

They laughed flatteringly, clinked glasses with the demon officers, and stammered in the newly learned demon language, and the strange tone made the demon officers and soldiers laugh and tease him like puppies.

They surrounded the demons, elated, drunk, and kept mentioning "Cheers to the great victory of the Protoss", and they were as hot with the demons as if they were with their brothers.

To Shirakawa's shock, many of these scum were not ignorant and ignorant fools, on the contrary, they were once nobles and family officials.

Somewhere in a hotel, Shirakawa once saw a man learn to bark at a dog and pick up the bones thrown out by the demon officer.

Seeing that person, Bai Chuan hurriedly turned his face away, for fear of being seen by him: she knew this person, this person was from a long-established and prominent family in Bartley Province, and he was also a count and a member of the Senate of the Zichuan family in the past!

He deprecated himself to this point, not because he was coerced or his life was at stake, but just to obtain a letter of appointment for the next local garrison under the rule of the Demon Army.

Those nobles and officials who had served the Zichuan family saw that the family was losing power, and hurriedly threw themselves into the arms of the new master.

Even if it is an ordinary demon soldier, they are all offered as gods, with no other purpose, just hoping to get a position under the rule of the demon army, glory and wealth, or join forces with the demon army to plunder and get benefits.

What they did was more cruel and immoral than the demons.

They took the initiative to guide the demons to their enemy's house, reported that the guerrillas who harbored the Zichuan family here, and then killed their entire family together with the demon soldiers. Wherever the demons don't know, they all know that taking the demons over is a waste.

They robbed the most fiercely, burned the house the worst, and forced women the most energetic, a regular demon officer and soldier may still have military discipline constraints, and there are some honest generals like clouds and snow who restrict them from being too reckless, but these scum of the human race, no matter what they do, they will not be punished.

Seeing these people, Bai Chuan's hands were itching terribly, panting heavily, and he involuntarily touched the sword in his arms, so frightened that Brown and his subordinates grabbed her hard: "My lord, you must not do it! You are going to destroy us all!"

In Bartley City, Shirakawa felt a suffocating smell, a stench of **, she didn't want to stay in this city for a moment, and quickly passed the city.

That night, they spent the night in a village outside the city.

Brown knocked on a farmhouse, and he bluntly said to his master: "We are officers of the Zichuan family, and we want to spend the night with you tonight, can you take us in?"

The master didn't dare to take them in, so he "invited" them out in a panic, and asked until the fourth house, and the man replied without hesitation: "Okay, the warriors who resist the demons will always be welcomed in our place!"

Brown stared into his master's eyes, "But before you, three families have rejected us. ”

"They're not real men. The host said calmly, "Distinguished guest, please come in and rest." ”

In the evening, the host kills the chickens and gives the guests a fragrant dinner.

After the meal, everyone sat together, and the men of the village came to the house one after another, knowing that there were people from the Far East, and they wanted to know about the army.

The gathered villagers crowded the master's house, and among them, Shirakawa saw several familiar faces, these were the owners who had just rejected him.

Recognizing Shirakawa, they were a little embarrassed to dodge, but they were still cheeky and refused to leave.

Looking at the eager and anxious faces, Shirakawa couldn't refuse them even though he was already tired from the journey.

She told everyone how Zichuan Xiu overcame obstacles in the Far East, from an outsider to the king of the Far East who commanded the soldiers and civilians of the Far East and returned to the hearts of all the people, and told the story of how the Far East army fought against the demons and won step by step.

Her tone is very objective, very plain, did not avoid difficulties and setbacks, in her narration, Zichuan Xiu is not an omniscient, omnipotent god, he is just a young man in his twenties, he has also made mistakes, has been confused and lost, and has been defeated like a mountain, but he has never given up and is indomitable.

In the end, he succeeded, won the heartfelt support of the military and civilians of the Far East, and was also welcomed by the Zichuan family, becoming the commander and king of the Far East.

After hearing this, there was a burst of discussion and admiration from the crowd.

The master slammed his pipe and said in a conclusive tone, "A fierce general like Master Shikawa Shu, may God give us as much as possible." With them, we can drive the demons out early!"

A guest said: "This lord, the demon clan deceived us, saying that the Far Eastern Commander and the commanders of all walks of life had surrendered, that Lord Stirling had been killed, that Dìdū had been taken, that the Zichuan family had surrendered, we were all panicked, and we didn't know what to do." We are like blindfolded, our ears plugged, blind and deaf who cannot hear or see, there is no hope, there is no light, only darkness that we cannot reach out and cannot see. ”

"This is a shameless lie!" Bai Chuan said without hesitation: "The family's army is still fighting, in the Far East, in the interior!

At this time, Shirakawa felt the weight of the meaning of dìdū's struggle.

In this dark moment, dìdū is like a lighthouse, radiating endless light in all directions, renewing hope to the desperate and re-energizing the discouraged.

No matter what kind of lies the demons spread, they can't erase this most basic fact: if dìdū doesn't fall, then the Zichuan family will not fall!

Looking to the west, she silently and remotely prayed for the blessings of the warriors who fought at night on the front line of Dìdū, who carried the hope of the entire country on their shoulders.

The next morning, when the fog was hazy, Shirakawa and his party set off on the road.

Before leaving, Bai Chuan wanted to pay the master, but the master resolutely refused to accept it, and finally got angry: "What's the matter? I stayed at home for one night, can I still collect money from my relatives? Then who have I become? Am I going to risk being beheaded by the demons for these money?"

He shoved the silver coin back into Shirakawa's arms: "Take it, girl! I'm old and not in good health, otherwise I would have joined the army to fight the demons together." You are shedding blood for us, how can I take your money!"

Taking the warm coin that still carried its body temperature, Shirakawa's eyes gradually moistened.

She remembered the 16th column of officers and soldiers and simple villagers she encountered on a rainy night in the inn of the town, but she didn't expect that it was those low-level people with humble status, who were more patriotic and sincere than high-ranking officials and nobles.

At the time of the national crisis, the people who are most loyal to the motherland are not those high-ranking officials and nobles, but those lowly people who are usually looked down upon.

They are loyal to the motherland, pity the lost years, cherish the rule of the Zichuan family, cherish the sinking motherland, and eagerly hope that the family army can counterattack as soon as possible.

On the contrary, the old officials and nobles who were deeply favored by the Zichuan family in the past are almost all on the side of the demon clan at this moment, and they are full of congratulations on the "victory of the Protoss army", and they never want the family army to come back, because at that time, the motherland will settle old accounts with them.

Continuing to move forward from Bartley Province, getting closer and closer to dìdū, the investigation of the demons is becoming more and more severe, fortunately, Brown has a wide range of contacts, he knows which section of the road has a demon checkpoint, which time the demon patrol will come out to inspect, and where the path can be walked around, under the leadership of his light driving and familiarity, Shirakawa Tong guò has a lot of demon checkpoints and inspections.

The worst thing is not to encounter the demons, you can also show a pass or bribe the sentinels with money when you encounter the demons, and the most troublesome thing is to run into bandits and stragglers.

The demons are good at destruction but not good at construction, and the powerful military of the demons has smashed the rule of the Zichuan family, but they are not capable of establishing a new order.

The outlaws and bandits who were suppressed by the Zichuan family before, they are all armed.

In the area occupied by the demons, thieves are swarming, there are many bandits, and the common people have no way to live, in the towns, it is the demon soldiers and horses that are wreaking havoc, hiding in the mountains and forests, and they will encounter the cruelty of the bandits.

Those bandits and thieves in the Wuthering Mountains forest do not belong to the Zichuan family, nor do they belong to the demon clan, they don't buy anyone's account, they rob houses, occupy the road and rob, and they are even more ruthless than the demons.

Shirakawa encountered these gangsters who blocked the road and robbed them several times, and they all relied on Brown to negotiate with them and pay a toll to get through.

But the last time, even the toll was useless, and the bandits coveted the money and the beauty of Shirakawa himself, and threatened to leave Shirakawa behind to be the wife of the village, and as a result, the masters of the Far East had to show their sabers and slash before rushing out.

In addition, there are some thieves who are not full-time, they are the soldiers and troops of the Zichuan family who have been scattered, they have organized all kinds of underground resistance organizations, what volunteers, rebels, death squads, guerrillas or something, although the banner is very good, but they are forced by survival, and they are not much less harmful to the local than the demons.

Shirakawa was heartbroken to see that these officers and soldiers, who had once been determined to defend the country, were gradually becoming bandits and thieves, and that the forces that should have been able to defend the country were being used in such places.

From the Far East to Dìdū, the road is thrilling, with the characters of the third-rate and nine sects, several thrilling battles, swords and swords, which are commonplace for the battle-hardened Shirakawa, like water flowing through stones, leaving no trace.

There was only one thing that touched her deeply and made her forget it for a long time.

On the road on the outskirts of Dak City, the group encountered a patrol of the 16th Column, who stopped the Far Eastern procession: "Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going? Do you have a pass?"

Brown hurriedly caught up with him, and said that he had come from Ankara to save his relatives, and the people behind him were all his relatives.

Speaking of emotion, he burst into tears: "Master Jun, it's okay, let us go! We are all croppers, it's not easy to go out!" he pleaded bitterly, and secretly stuffed a few silver coins for the patrol leader.

In less than two minutes of negotiation, cold sweat soaked Shirakawa's back, and as soon as a random soldier came over and shouted, "Open your baggage!" The sword hidden in the donkey's bag was exposed.

This is a road where people come and go, and there is a garrison of the demon clan next to it, and there is nowhere to escape.

Fortunately, after receiving Brown's money, the captain waved his hand: "It's okay!

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, you will be able to live a long life if you do a lot of good deeds!"

After walking a few steps, suddenly, the captain shouted behind him: "Wait!"

Shirakawa's whole body tensed, and his hand involuntarily touched his bag.

The captain walked over and said very sternly: "Don't go any further! The demons have set up a checkpoint in front, and there are many of you, and if you encounter it, you will definitely be detained and checked." ”

As he spoke, intentionally or unintentionally, he patted Shirakawa's bag with weapons, and everyone was so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out.

Brown hurriedly greeted him and said, "Captain, you are such a good person, we don't know how to repay your kindness in our lives!"

"Good man, huh?" said the captain, smirking bitterly.

As he was leaving, he glanced back at Shirakawa: "Please say hello to Commander Shirakawa Shu on your behalf, Lord Shirakawa." ”

Shirakawa blurted out, "You, do you recognize me?"

The captain laughed happily, and his wrinkled face stretched out completely: "Actually, I recognized you at first sight. You are the favorite general of Lord Zichuan, a famous beautiful general in the army, and I and many brothers were your admirers in the army. It's a pity now—alas!" An endless sigh drifted softly in the wind, filled with the sigh of the vicissitudes of the world.

He shook Shirakawa's hand lightly, turned and walked towards his subordinates.

Shirakawa looked at him in a daze, until the patrol stepped away, and the figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road, the middle-aged man with vicissitudes of life, the melancholy and sad smile had been deeply engraved in her heart.

She gently opened the palm of her hand, and there was already a pass token in her hand, which was written with crooked demon characters, which was a pass issued by the demon to those obedient human soldiers and civilians.

In this world of war, sadness and change, loyalty and jiān, good and evil, sometimes not so black and white. Between black and white, there is also a kind of face sè, that is, gray sè.

Looking up into the distance, on the distant horizon, a deep shadow beckoned to her in the distance.

Dìdū is already in sight, and the end of the journey is about to be reached.

dìdū, the pivotal point of the Zichuan Empire, is the famous ancient capital of the imperial dynasty.

Two hundred and twenty-one years ago, in the middle of a snowy night, the sharp voice of a short general shook the city: "Today, the name of this place is dìdū!

300,000 black-clad soldiers roared in unison: "Hooray! Hurrah!" The spears were erected like a forest, and the sound of the wind and clouds shook the heavens and the earth, and a generation of heroes raised the banner of rebellion against the stormy empire.

From this day on, the flag of the golden hibiscus flower is gradually lowering from the mainland, the black sè flying eagle flag with teeth and claws is rising, and the shadow of the claws covers half of the continent.

The name of that hero was Zichuan Yun, and the castle, formerly known as Jiashan Fortress, has since had a resounding name: "dìdū!"

For two hundred and twenty-one years, the fate of the city has been linked to the rise and fall of Zichuan, and a series of glorious names have been engraved in the history of the city, such as Zichuan Yun, Yarime, Shajia, Zichuan Xing, Yunshanhe, and Camus.

The city has witnessed the overwhelming flow of cavalry, and it has also seen the endless demon armored beasts.

In the 553rd year of the imperial calendar, Yunlong, the general of the demon army, led 200,000 demon troops into the customs and besieged the Jiashan fortress for three months.

Yunlong had to make a roundabout march, and it was this army that was defeated from under the fortress of Jiashan and destroyed the Empire of Light three months later.

In the 732nd year of the imperial calendar, at the instigation of the Liufeng family, the border guard of the Zichuan family, Lou Jialuo, rebelled, and 300,000 rebels and 200,000 Liufeng soldiers swooped down on the city.

But in less than a week, the Far Eastern commander Camus led 200,000 Far Eastern troops to come back to help, and broke the wind on the banks of the Vanne River, and the Far Eastern cavalry pursued the defeated troops of the Liufeng family all the way to the Blue City.

In the 771st year of the imperial calendar, Liufeng Xishan defeated Zichuan Yuanxing, and 100,000 Liufeng troops once again Chen soldiers were under the city.

Looking up at the towering city tower, the famous general known as the Liufeng Fox in later generations was full of ambition, but overnight, 800 Far Eastern Iron Horsemen once again crushed the dream of hegemony of the Liufeng family under the city, and the tears of despair in the Liufeng West Mountain achieved the rise of the epoch-making famous general Zichuan Xiu.

Again and again, again and again, the city has been besieged and attacked many times in history, but it has never succumbed.

Whether it is the scheming Liufeng Xishan, or the young and capable Yun Qianxue, this is the consensus of all the enemies of the Zichuan family: "If you seize the southeast, you must first seize the dìdū!

And in the same way, this is also the worry of the loyal ministers and good generals of the Zichuan family.

Stirling pointed out sharply: "If the dìdū is not protected, the southwest barrier will be lost, and the enemy can go down the river to the northwest and southwest, and our army will be in a general situation!"

In May of the 784th year of the imperial calendar, this historic city with a history of more than 400 years and under siege many times was once again severely tested, and the eyes of the whole world were focused on it.

On one side are the Demon God Emperor's strong soldiers, more than 600,000 demon troops, and on the other side are the few human soldiers and civilians who are determined to die.

If dìdū were taken, it would mean that the most powerful line of defense of mankind, the Zichuan family, would collapse, and the flowing wind would be torn apart, and the Lin clan would be weak. Taking advantage of the great victory, the soldiers and horses of the Demon God Emperor poured into the northwest rich in grain and military horses, poured into the rich southwest plain, pursued and annihilated the remnants of the defeated Zichuan family in the southwest plain, destroyed the exile of the Zichuan family in Danya, forced the weak Lin family to surrender, and then defeated the lonely and weak army led by the flowing wind and frost, and finally, the only way out for the isolated Yuanjing regime was to surrender - this is the plan drawn up by the demon command to conquer the human race.

Of course, the real process may be complicated, it is estimated that it will last for two to three years, the demon army will encounter strong resistance, and there will also be sporadic guerrillas coming out to disturb it, but at the strategic level, the plan is impeccable. But the premise of the implementation of the qiē plan is to take down the dìdū!

For a while, the fate of the demon race, the fate of the human race, and the fate of the entire continent will all depend on whether the Zichuan army can resist it at the moment when the demon army presses the realm and pounces on the dìdū and attacks wildly!

The commander-in-chief of the front line of the Demon Army is Yun Qianxue, a famous general of the Demon Kingdom, who has always been known for his cautious use of troops.

Under his command, he led the forward legions of the Demon God Kingdom, including the second, third, fourth, sixth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth armies of the Demon God Kingdom.

None of these troops were weak brigades, among which was the prestigious Yulin Second Army, which had always been known as the Royal Guard, and its combat effectiveness was second only to the Kingdom Guards Brigade led by the Demon God Emperor.

In addition, the Third Army of the Kingdom led by Yerma, the Sixth Army of the Kingdom led by Winkla, and the Eleventh Army of the Kingdom led by Peima are all legions composed of the children of Senea, and their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of ordinary demon legions.

Of the twelve legions that exist in the Demon God Kingdom, seven legions are assembled on the Dìdū front, with a total strength of more than 600,000.

Dispatching an army to capture a city shows that the demons are bound to seize dìdū.

In the face of the aggressive offensive of the demons, the human army and civilians are also ready for a desperate battle.

"The country is in the autumn of danger, people should be loyal and righteous!" This is a huge banner hanging at the head of the city and the most popular slogan to boost the morale of the army.

The citizens of Dìdū have never felt so deeply that the fate of the individual and the fate of the country are so closely linked, whether it is the noble royal Chinese, or the workers, farmers, merchants, students, officials, and warriors living at the bottom of the society, their fates are on the same line at this moment in the face of the surging demon army.

From April onwards, Dìdū entered the national war readiness, and civilians of the old, young, women, and children were withdrawn from the city, and young and middle-aged people joined the army in large numbers.

People have broken free from the panic and panic of hearing about the demon invasion at the beginning, and there is only one question in front of them: "Survival, or death?"

Miss Zi Chuan Ning said: "Dìdū citizens, we have no way out! Whoever is the eldest husband should fight to the death! When the national disaster is at the head, robbers and bandits break into the door and take up arms to defend their homeland, which is a mission that men cannot escape! Women, children, and the elderly can retreat, if you also retreat, who will protect your family? Who will protect your parents? Retreat is just to bring disaster from one place to another, the ambition of the demon clan is to annex the continent, no matter where you flee, the demon army will follow! If you don't resist now, it's too late when you want to resist! Men, do you die standing or do you kneel and live?"

The venue was silent, and suddenly, like a thunderclap resounded through the city, and the human beings who were cornered let out a final roar: "Fight with the demons!"

Fathers say goodbye to their children, husbands say goodbye to their wives, sons say goodbye to their mothers, endless earnest exhortations, endless cherishes, countless touching scenes that cause tears to be staged, tears splashed the streets of dìdū.

Women, the elderly, and children retreated from the west gate, and the men stood on the side of the road as their families staggered away to meet the setting sun, silent blessings filled the air with tears: "My mother, my wife, my children! I hope you are happy!"

For many of them, this is a goodbye.

Seeing off their families and wiping away their tears, the men silently walked to the registration meeting point for the reservists that dotted the streets of Dìdū.

There were too many people joining the army, and the logistics department could not provide so many uniforms and weapons, and many reservists could only receive a strip of white or red sè, and the officers taught them to tie the strip of cloth on their heads, which was the sign of a reservist.

As for the weapons, do you need to ask? The officers replied, "The weapons are finished, if you want them-" He pointed fiercely to the east, "Let's go to the demons!"

In this way, countless mediocre citizens, a minute later, they have become warriors to defend their homes and country.

Learn the basic queues and assassination movements under the command of the officers, and the wide streets are their school grounds, and the streets and alleys are full of babbling and shouting to kill.

Although the citizens had a high fighting spirit to defend their homes and the country, the effect of the training was really -- Zi Chuanning once inspected a recruit training camp, and when he came out, he only said one sentence: "It is unbearable to see." ”

And Diling said even more harshly: "I'd rather see three thousand lice crawling across the Vanie!"

In the face of the aggressive demon army, there are also famous generals on the human side to fight against it.

Nominally, the commander-in-chief of the Dìdū garrison was Zichuan Ning, the crown prince and commander of the zhōngyāng army, but the fledgling Zichuan Ning was not enough to compete with the kingdom's first-class generals, but fortunately, there was also a famous general in the city, who was the chief inspector of the Zichuan family, and his invincible prestige was as widely known as his ruthlessness.

The Dìdū Staff Department submitted several battle plans to Zi Chuanning, but most of those plans were taken by Di Lin to brush his leather boots.

"Dig deep trenches, accumulate grain and grass, hold on to it, use fortified cities to consume the enemy's strength and sharpness, and wait for reinforcements to come from the interior-" Di Lin said contemptuously: "Even an idiot can think of a method, this is the conclusion that the top students of the Far Eastern Military Academy have been thinking about for half a month?"

The staff officers blushed with shame and defended: "Inspector General, we all make plans according to the orthodox art of war. In the southwest and northwest, the base camp is requisitioning reservists to form a new army, and the longer it holds, the better it will be for us. ”

"The formation of a new army, from the time of recruitment to the completion of training, generally takes half a year, and no matter how fast it is, it cannot be less than three months. Di Lin said slowly: "600,000 demons, which is twice as many as the soldiers and ordinary people in the city combined! Do you think that we can hold out for half a year just by reinforcing the city and moats?"

There was silence in the conference room.

Di Lin looked at everyone one after another and asked coldly: "Or, who is sure to hold on for three months and wait for reinforcements to arrive?"

No one dared to answer, and the generals, whose epaulettes were adorned with stars, cowered under Di Lin's icy gaze.

Zi Chuanning, who was at the head of the conference table, coughed lightly: "Inspector General, do you have any good plans?"

Facing Zi Chuanning, Di Lin retracted slightly, and owed his body: "Your Highness, Xia Guan does have a plan, but it needs to be kept extremely confidential, please allow me to tell it alone." ”

The generals looked angry, and Qin Lu said angrily: "Inspector Elder, all the generals present are generals of the rank above the rank of the red-clothed banner, can they still hide the jiān of the demon clan?"

Di Lin looked at him silently: "Lord Qin Lu, you naturally will not have a problem, please stay later." ”

The generals were in an uproar, and Di Lin's implication was that it was difficult for others to be trusted. Everyone was indignant, but because they had been suppressed by Dilin Jiwei for a long time, no one dared to protest.

"If there is nothing else to do, please wait in the living room for a while. Di Lin looked at everyone with a smile, and his smile was indescribably kind: "I want to tell His Highness Ning alone." Lord Qin Lu, please stay, the plan also needs your assistance. ”

The secret discussion lasted for more than half an hour, and as for what Di Lin said to Zi Chuanning and Qin Lu, except for the three parties involved, no one knew.

But when they stepped out of the conference hall, everyone saw Zichuan Ninghua's face was lost, while Qin Lu shook his head vigorously: "Crazy!

Di Lin said quietly: "Crazy, but it is doable. There is nothing we can do about it. ”

Qin Lu said excitedly: "Lord Dilin, it hasn't reached that point yet, there is no need to take such an extreme method! We still have the secret weapon of 777, and we also have the 101st Special Regiment! The officers and men of our army are fighting tenaciously, maybe we can keep the demon clan out of the city!"

In stark contrast to Qin Lu's excitement, Di Lin simply said three words: "Impossible." ”

The three words were like a basin of biting ice water, pouring Qin Lu's enthusiasm into his heart.

"Don't quarrel with the two generals. After pondering for a long time, Zichuan Ning nodded slowly: "Inspector Elder, you are right, we really have no choice. I approve the implementation of your plan, and you have full authority to command all the defenders of the dìdū. ”

Di Lin stood solemnly: "Thank you Your Highness for your trust, you will never be disappointed!"

The following is not the text, and it will not spend money to buy, pig selling point advertising:

"Zichuan", "Mercenary World" and "Blasphemy" have teamed up to make an XYZ game, and the third closed beta has ended. Start the closed beta test immediately - 6:00 p.m. on May 6, 2008.

Players who need to register can do so via the guò link.

It should be noted that this game does not have a client, it is a browser game, and everyone enters the game to become a nobleman (three countries of their own choice) and have their first small village.

In the course of the game, you can build farmland, mines, etc., you can get a steady stream of resources, sell resources to get gold, you can improve technology, recruit soldiers, and build more cities.

And the other two evil countries (blasphemy and mercenary world@_@), their nobles will keep sending troops to fight you - of course, it is also possible that you keep beating them, hehe

In the game, you can also train your own heroes, build guilds, farm dungeons, and so on.

The biggest feature of this type of game is that it doesn't take up much time, and you can take time to play when you go to work, even if it's not online, the game is still producing resources.

Interested friends can go and play, I hope the Zichuan Empire is strong!
