In the early morning of September 1, 786, in the zhōngyāng square of the Wallen Fortress, the morning mist was slowly dissipating, and the soldiers and horses standing like a forest appeared in the morning light of dawn.

Zi Chuan Ning, who was in a black cloak, walked through the passage in the middle of the military formation. In the morning light, the dim swords, the armor, the black eagle battle flags fluttering in the morning breeze, the dark, deep faces of the soldiers.

Zi Chuanning felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her heart was pounding violently. She looked at the soldiers in front of her in awe, the men in front of her, who had conquered the powerful demon kingdom, the fierce army of the Far East, and the murderous aura condensed by thousands of miles of battles, just the array could give people heavy pressure.

A high platform was erected in the middle of the square, and the commander of the Far East, Zichuan Xiu, and a group of generals were waiting for her under the stage. Watching Zi Chuanning calmly pass through the army formation, the generals nodded approvingly. The momentum and power of the 30,000-strong army are unimaginable without personal experience. can keep calm and pass through this sky-high murderous aura, Zi Chuanning is worthy of being a tiger girl.

When they approached the side, all the Far Eastern generals bowed to Zichuan Ning. Zi Chuanning nodded slightly in return, the first time she experienced such a big scene, her feet were still trembling slightly.

"Your Highness, please come to the stage. Zi Chuanxiu approached, stretched out his hand to help Zi Chuanning, and whispered, "Don't be nervous." We are all supporting You, Aning, Your Highness, Stirling, Qin Lu, Wenhe - they are supporting You too!"

Hearing the long-lost title of "A-Ning", Zi Chuanning's heart surged with a hot current. How long had it been? He had never called himself that again. She stared deeply at the man in front of her: "Brother Axiu, with you, I'm not afraid." ”

Zi Chuanxiu smiled softly, and his smile was indescribably gentle. appeared in the parade ground where 30,000 soldiers and horses gathered, and appeared on this parade ground full of iron-blooded sword and blood, and the indescribable coordination made Zi Chuanning stunned for a while.

"Your Highness, please hurry up to the stage. Li Qing's whispered urging came from behind him, and Zi Chuanning realized that this was not the big lawn of Dìdū's own manor. She calmed down, and suddenly felt much calmer and calmer.

She ascended to the high platform, and the meeting hall where 30,000 troops had gathered was so quiet that even the sound of the morning breeze could be heard. The soldiers watched with bated breath at the delicate woman on the high platform, behind her, the bright red sun was rising on the horizon, and the woman's upright figure had melted into the morning light.

"Soldiers," a crisp female voice echoed in the sky above the empty square, her voice was still trembling slightly at first, but the trills quickly disappeared, and her voice became smooth and calm: "Soldiers of the Far East Legion of the Zichuan Family, I am speaking to you! Soldiers of the Zhōngyāng Army, the Expeditionary Force, the Border Guards, the Duolun Lake Fleet, and the Vanne River Fleet, I am also speaking to you! All the citizens of the Zichuan Family, all the people who are loyal to the family flag, I am speaking to you!" I am Zi Chuan Ning, the current head of the Zi Chuan family, and I am talking to you!"

It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm pond, and an invisible sāo movement arose in the sea of soldiers. Shock and confusion echoed in the sea of soldiers like ripples, and whispers rang out: "That woman, she said she was His Highness Ning!"

At this time, the Far Eastern Commander, who had been standing silently behind Zi Chuanning, took two steps, did not say a word, and looked down at the audience with a stern gaze. Immediately, the chatter and whispering ceased in an instant. The soldiers stood as quietly as a forest, and the meeting place where 30,000 people gathered was as quiet as a barren mountain and a wild forest.

Looking at Zi Chuan Xiu in surprise, Zi Chuan Ning couldn't believe his eyes. The heroic silver-haired general in front of him is completely different from the gentle and considerate Zichuan Xiu in his impression. "For a general, he needs to have inviolable majesty!" - there is no doubt that the handsome boy has now grown into a real general!

Zi Chuanning looked at Zi Chuanxiu's back, and his eyes slowly moistened. As a child, when the mob stormed his room, it was this back who silently kept vigil for himself until dawn, and stood in front of him in the face of the sharp blades of the assassins. Now, when his country is ruined, it is still this back that stands up. He is like a towering mountain, shielding himself from all the wind and rain in the world.

Seeing that order had been restored, Zi Chuan Ning took a step back, still standing behind Zi Chuan Ning, and said, "Your Highness, you can continue." ”

Zi Chuanning nodded and took a step forward: "Soldiers, I will tell you the truth, the truth that the rebels are trying to cover up!"

was finally able to tell the truth in public, and Zichuan Ning's heart was surging. She told everyone that on the night of January 1, 786, the supreme ruling body of the Zichuan family was besieged and attacked. And it was not Luo Minghai who committed this kind of rebellious behavior, but Di Lin, the chief inspector of the Zichuan family.

"Who would have thought that the Supervision Department, which was supposed to be to maintain discipline and eliminate evil, has turned into a rebellious group!" Zi Chuanning said, calm and angry: "Di Lin, but a small boy, my father Yuanxing is valued, and he has to stand out from the ranks by specially promoting him, and His Royal Highness Sanxing trusts his favor to the extreme, and entrusts the key departments. In less than thirty, he became a leader of the family, and such a grace is rare in the history of the family. Even if there is only half a conscience in the hearts of people, they should be grateful for it, and repay it with loyalty! But how did Di Lin repay the family? There was nothing but bloody hands!

"He murdered His Highness Samxing, murdered Luo Minghai, murdered His Excellency Qin Lu, and murdered His Excellency Pigu! How mad was this man? Even the sworn brothers who worshipped him and saved his life many times did not let go, and in Wangdu Ling, the military police of the Supervision Department brazenly attacked Stirling and killed him!

"Your Excellency Sterling, you have been loyal to your country all your life, selfless and fearless. In the war to resist the invasion of the demons and defend human civilization, he has repeatedly made meritorious achievements, and he can be called the mainstay! He is not only the hero of our Zichuan family, but also the hero of all mankind! Such a person did not die at the hands of the demons, did not die in battle to resist the enemy's external threats, but fell to the despicable yīn scheme, and died at the hands of the sworn brother whom he once trusted wholeheartedly! Is there any greater injustice in the world?"

As Zi Chuanning said, although the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army lack a sense of loyalty to the family, many soldiers regard Stirling, a famous family general, as an idol. When he heard that he had died at the hands of his sworn brother, the audience was in an uproar.

Zichuan Ning solemnly raised his hand: "My identity, the commander of the Far Eastern Army, Xiuchuan, and all the adults can prove it to me! With the honor of the Zichuan family, what I said today is true." And this lady, she is His Excellency Li Qinghongyi, the widow of His Excellency Stirling, who also escaped from the rebels through the tribulation with me, can prove my words. ”

The Far Eastern Commander on the high platform nodded solemnly.

Li Qing also stood on the high platform. She looked at everyone, and her eyes showed deep sadness: "Everyone, I am Li Qing. Here, I would like to say a few words to you in the capacity of Sterling's wife, no, a military wife.

"At that time, I couldn't believe the news of Sterling's death - I still can't believe it. Stirling often sent troops to release horses, and was wounded and died in battle, I am not without psychological preparation, being a soldier is indispensable for food, and no matter how big an official is, he cannot guarantee safety. And Sterling is not the kind of person who is used to hiding behind, he always likes to rush to the front.

He said, Li Qing, after all, I have experienced many years of battlefields, and I have also practiced martial arts, and my skills are better than ordinary people. If I kill one more demon, I might be able to save the life of one of my soldiers. I'm taking a risk in front of me, it's worth it!"

As he spoke, Li Qing burst into tears, and his poignant voice echoed in the venue: "If it is the demon clan who harms Sterling's life, it is a member of the Liufeng family, if he dies on the battlefield, then there is nothing to say, the general will inevitably die in battle, who makes him inferior to others?"

"But this time was different. Someone told me that Stirling was in a hurry to save Dilin that night and rushed back to Dìdū without even bringing his guards. It was no one else who released false information to deceive Sterling out of the Duck barracks and murdered him, but his brother who had sworn with him! The place where he died was not the battlefield, but the barren mountains and forests outside the Wangdu Mausoleum, and the gendarmes killed him with crossbow arrows! This is murder!

"That beast, after killing Sterling, he planted the blame on the murdered Luo Minghai, in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so that the world can never know the truth, he did not even let me go, the surviving person, and sent countless spies and gendarmes to hunt us down, determined to exterminate us! Is there a more ungrateful and despicable person in the world than this? Heaven is above, he used to call me brother and sister again and again!

"Stirling, who has served the country and the people all his life, does not deserve this! That night, I swore an oath, but there is still one breath left, and I will seek justice for Sterling! But the family has been controlled by the rebels, and the patriarchs will be afraid of the evil forces, and they will be silent. I, the surviving person, have nowhere to redress this heinous injustice. Is there no justice or righteousness in the world? I don't believe it!

"Ladies and gentlemen, like my husband, you are also soldiers of the family, and you are my husband's comrades and siblings. My husband was unfortunately murdered by the evil hand of Jiān, and his widow was hunted down and killed, except for the Far Eastern Army, I am a weak woman, and I have no way to ask for help! I beg you, I beg you to uphold justice, uphold justice, punish Jiān evil, and let Sterling not die without turning a blind eye!"

As he spoke, Li Qing knelt down on the high platform in front of the soldiers, crying silently: "Please!"

The entire venue was so quiet that no sound could be heard at all, and the soldiers were tightly attracted by Li Qing's slightly crying narration, and listened intently with bated breath. The soldiers did not have a high level of consciousness or wisdom, but what they valued most was righteousness and comradeship, and what they admired was heroic and heroic. They were not interested in slogans such as "Loyal to the family and restore the old capital", but the murder of his sworn brother - and the beloved General Stirling - and his murder of his weak wife - was not tolerated by these strong-blooded soldiers!

Seeing Li Qingying kneeling, an innocent and innocently chased and killed weak woman kneeling in front of her, crying like pear blossoms and rain, the simple chivalrous liver and gall in the hearts of the soldiers were suddenly stimulated, their eyes were red, their nostrils were angry and angry, and their eyes were staring at the people on the high platform.

Silence, deathly silence.

Suddenly, a voice suddenly exploded in the queue: "The men of the Far East are not bad breeds, we are not afraid of Di Lin! Lord Li Qing, we will help you!"

It was as if a torch had been thrown into a powder keg, and a fierce atmosphere erupted. Countless voices shouted, and the voices were jumbled together: "Kill that beast!"

"No one is gone!"

"I'm so angry I can't stand it!"

The crowd was full of voices, and the orderly parade ground was in chaos, and someone shouted at the high platform: "Lord Xiuchuan, what are you waiting for, take us back to fight Dilin!"

Zi Chuanxiu on the high platform just stood silently and did not come out to drink quietly, while the generals in front of the high platform and the officers in the team also remained silent. In the face of this chaos, everyone seems to be deliberately letting it go.

Lin Bing, deputy marshal of the Far Eastern Army, quickly stepped onto the stage and helped Li Qing up: "Lord Qing, don't worry, this matter is incumbent on our Far Eastern Army!"

Wiping his tears, Li Qing choked up and said, "There is Master Lao." Facing the soldiers under the high platform, she bowed deeply: "Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

"That's how it should be, Lord Qing doesn't have to be polite!" Lin Bing turned to the audience and said loudly: " Brothers, the Emperor Lin Group has just defeated the Lin family and forced the Lin family to sign an alliance under the city, and the family's northwest commander His Excellency Minghui is afraid of power and actually agrees with the position of the rebels, so that the bloody demon king, the murderer of the king and the murderer of his brother, can look around, he happily thinks that there is no justice in the world, and there is no more loyal and righteous people, and his crimes and atrocities can go unpunished, but can be added to the yellow robe and enjoy the glory! Brothers, can we agree?"

"Can't!" The 30,000 people shouted angrily like a muffled thunderbolt, and rushed onto the high platform, and the powerful sound wave shook the floor under Zi Chuanning's feet trembling slightly, and Zi Chuanning was so dizzy that he stood and didn't listen.

"Exactly!" Lin Bing was impassioned, and her loud voice echoed in every corner of the venue: "Let Di Lin be proud, and let him be arrogant!" He forgot that fifty years ago, it was the Far Easterners who blocked the rebellious 300,000 border guards outside the city! He also forgot that two years ago, he was also a Far Eastern warrior, blocking the iron hooves of the armored beast and shooting down the crown on the head of the Demon God Emperor!

"Zhao Zhaotian rì, there is its own axioms, and justice is free in the hearts of the people. The bureaucrats and aristocrats are greedy for life and fear death, they succumb to power, and for the sake of their own property and power, they are silent and fall with the wind, but in the Far East, such a bad kind of plan will not survive! In the Far East, we have blood, courage, and righteousness, and the men of the Far East will never stand idly by to such a traitor like Dilin, who has lost his conscience, and is so despicable that he is simply unworthy of being called a human animal!"

Lin Bing's face turned red with excitement, she suddenly turned to face Zi Chuanning, and said loudly: "Your Highness, the Far Eastern Army is here waiting for your order!"

"I understand!" Zi Chuan was calm, but tears still couldn't stop flowing from his eyes. She tried her best to suppress the tremor in her voice, and tried to say calmly: "Your Excellency Zichuan Xiu, the commander of the Far East, as the head of the Zichuan family, I order you to immediately lead the Far Eastern troops into the customs to crusade against the rebel group headed by Di Lin, put down the rebellion, restore order, and restore the glory of the Eagle Banner!"

Zi Chuanxiu glanced at Zi Chuanning silently, and then, he flicked his cloak back, and knelt down gracefully: "Weichen respectfully obeys Jun's order, Your Highness." May follow your banner, long live the family!"

"May I follow His Royal Highness, long live the family!" Following behind Zi Chuanxiu, the generals of the Far Eastern Army knelt down in front of Zi Chuanning one after another. The strong wind blowing from the steppes of the Far East blew violently, blowing the cloaks on the generals, flying up and down, like a flock of flying goshawks.

The enthusiastic cheers and applause of the audience rang out, like the wheat waves blown down by the wind, the soldiers knelt down neatly one after another, and countless voices converged into a loud echo: "May I follow His Highness, long live the family!"

Thousands of soldiers knelt down in front of the beautiful girl in a crowd, and Zichuan Ning's heart was surging. She saw thousands of troops, she saw the iron horse Jingo, she saw countless black eagle battle flags fluttering in the wind at the head of the city, she saw many familiar faces smiling at her, those who were alive and dead, at this moment, their smiles were burning and shining with moving light.

"Uncle, I'm back!"

On September 1, 786, a thunderbolt shook the entire continent in shock: Zichuan Ning, the long-missing head of the Zichuan family, finally appeared in the Far East. In the Valen Fortress, she publicly inspected the Far Eastern Jīng sharp troops such as the Far Eastern Xiuzi Battalion and the Half-Orc Ironclad Army, and issued a text against the Rebellion. In the text, Zi Chuan Ning, in the name of the head of the Zi Chuan family, declared the Supervision Office and the military police force headed by Di Lin to be a rebellious organization, and declared that from now on, all their actions would be illegal.

In the text, Zi Chuanning completely revealed his demeanor and bearing as the leader of a big country. She said: "The Ombudsman and the Gendarmerie Corps were supposed to defend the family, but they were mistaken and went astray. Among the rebels, most of them are family children, and many of them have paid and shed blood for the Eagle Banner. You are deceived by your superiors and act according to orders, and rebellion is not your intention. I am a king, and I can punish and forgive, and I hereby declare that except for the rebels such as Dilin, Gopla, and Jinxi, as well as the Supervision Department and the gendarmerie, as long as you wake up and change your past mistakes, the family will not be held accountable for the past. If you can fight back and make a great contribution, the family will not hesitate to reward the marquis!"

As soon as the text was circulated, it caused a great sensation. A spokesman for the Supervision Department immediately refuted the rumor, saying that it was a rumor, and that His Royal Highness Zi Chuan Ning was still in the Governor's Mansion. In order to prove this, they organized a group of well-known experts, scholars, and dignitaries to visit Zi Chuanning in the governor's mansion, and then came out to issue a statement in the newspaper to prove that Zi Chuanning was indeed still there.

But this approach does not deceive people. The people's hearts are bright, and everyone says that His Royal Highness Ruoning is still alive, and it is good to arrange a public meeting for her to appear and speak, and the rumors will naturally be self-defeating. This is the simplest and most effective method, but the Supervision Office did not dare to adopt it, but coerced a group of celebrities to go to visit, which is clearly that there is no silver three hundred taels here, and the Supervision Office is a thief, which proves the truth of the text.

The Inspectorate took various measures to prohibit the dissemination of the documents, and they sent countless secret agents all over the people to eavesdrop on the conversations of the common people, set up checkpoints on the roads, put up bills to intimidate, erected dense gallows in the cities, and executed the people who dared to talk in private. But these measures are like watering a forest fire with a small spoon, and they are completely useless. From Valen to Danya, from Dìdū to Blue City, from the Vanne River to the Langcang River, all over the city and countryside, large and small towns and villages, almost every city on the streets, walls, lampposts, and gates, everywhere posted with the national seal of the Zichuan family. Although the gendarmes tore them every day, by the next morning countless leaflets and inscriptions had come out like bamboo shoots after a rain, and no one knew where they came from. The spread of the text is like a fire burning the wilderness, burning the prairie everywhere, everywhere, word of mouth, and everyone knows it.

A month later, the Office of Inspectors had to admit that it had completely failed in its efforts to ban the dissemination of information.

"Anyone who should know knows. Bai Xia reported helplessly: "Even the deaf old man in the most remote village, he knows that we are rebels." No matter how much we do now, it's useless -- no, it's the opposite. The more we strictly prohibit it, the more the people will pay attention to this matter and the more vigorously it will be disseminated. Your Highness, Zichuan Ning was able to spread the text throughout the country in just three weeks, and this was not just due to the spontaneous dissemination of the common people. We suspect that there are some big forces behind this that are organizing and promoting this. ”

"What do you mean......" Ever since he knew that Zi Chuan Ning had appeared, Di Lin had maintained a cold expression: "Far Eastern Commander?"

"The Far Eastern Commander must have intervened in this matter, and Zi Chuanning was able to make a public appearance in the Valen Fortress, which in itself speaks to the attitude of the Far Eastern Army. But relying on Shirakawa's Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau alone, they can't do it so neatly and neatly, so we can't even track it down -- Your Highness, it's not that we are arrogant, just the head-to-toe rookies of the Far Eastern Intelligence Bureau, and their ability is at most to find out the price of cabbage in the farmers' market. Moreover, the scope of the activities of the Far Eastern Intelligence Service was limited to the southeast, and they were beyond the reach of the northwest and southwest. Liu Fengshuang, Minghui, the Lin family, and the Senate, there must be someone in these forces who is secretly helping Zi Chuanning spread the news. It's just that we are still investigating who did it and who is secretly working against us......"

"There's no need to look it up. Di Lin looked at the blue sky outside the window, and his voice was faint: "It's pointless to find out." He said bitterly, "I already knew that there would be such a day: the world is my enemy." Get ready for war!"

Zi Chuanning's essay not only caused great shock and repercussions among the people, but also caused a considerable sensation in the political and military circles. After Bartley, the second province of Dama, near the exit of the Far Eastern fortress of Valen, set a shining example for the world, and the governor and governor of the province staged a mutiny, eliminated the military police of the Inspectorate in the area, and openly declared their defection to Zichuanning in the Far East.

The third change of banner in Kaige Province announced that he would leave the Supervision Department and return to the Zichuan Imperial Power.

Like a domino toppled down, the chain reaction that the Ombudsman had been fearing for a long time finally happened, and the three northeastern provinces of Bit and Ankara in the northeast region openly changed their banners. In the war against the demons that year, these three provinces were originally recovered by the Far Eastern Army. Although Zichuan Sanxing removed their governors and governors that year, many local officials in these provinces were former Far Eastern officers, and Zichuan Xiu's orders had considerable influence on them.

In the southeastern provinces, which have not yet changed banners, the shape continues to deteriorate. The inspectorate of the seventeen provinces reported that the situation had become so bad that they could no longer control the situation, and that the inspectors and gendarmes did not dare to leave the camp in uniform. Not only are the common people full of hostility towards the gendarmes and prosecutors, but the zhèngfǔ and garrisons in various places, who have been obedient to the supervision office since the incident, have now become ambiguous.

The inspectors stationed in the eleven provinces urgently appealed to Dìdū for help, requesting that they have additional gendarmerie units in their jurisdictions. Because both the garrison and zhèngfǔ had abnormal movements for unknown reasons. They suspected that the other side was in collusion with the Far Eastern Army, and that if the number of gendarmerie units could not be increased as much as possible, it would not be enough to deter the local army and garrisons.

The Imasai Commander, who was in charge of suppressing the Bartley rebellion, sent back a message asking for help, and since Zichuan Ning issued a message, several surrounding provinces have continued to rebel, and even the Oshang Province, the base camp of the crusading army, has also fluctuated, and has been attacked by unknown forces one after another. Imashi pleaded with a strong force to maintain his rear, saying: "Now that the army of Oss is no longer reliable, it is not safe to hand over the granaries to them for defense." In addition, the morale of his troops had plummeted, and his combat strength had weakened so much that he really had no confidence to continue the offensive without new troops joining.

However, these requests for help were all rejected by Dillin. It's not that he doesn't think these reports are important, but he really can't muster the troops.

It would be unreasonable to say that Di Lin had no army in his hands. Now, there are 130,000 troops in the Dìdū Military Region. But unfortunately, there are less than 30,000 reliable troops that really belong to the line of the Supervision Department, and they are responsible for monitoring nearly 100,000 Zichuan troops, and these troops are already quite unstable under the inspiration of Zichuan Ning's order.

Although the Ombudsman has dealt with the Wenhe case expeditiously, tensions have not been alleviated by the purge, and discontent has risen in the military. Many officers and soldiers were sympathizers of Zi Chuanning. Zi Chuan Ning, her beauty and fame are reminiscent of the legendary princesses who were forced into exile by the usurpation of power by Jiān ministers - although in the legend, those exiled princesses and princes always had to be killed in the end, but this did not prevent everyone from loving this beautiful princess. These lowest-ranking soldiers, out of a simple sense of justice and a sense of right and wrong, resented a man who murdered his lord and sworn brother, and the murdered man was still General Stirling, who was always respected in the army. It's one thing to be shameless in private, but no one would like to be in the service of a notorious lord.

Although those bribed literati were always shouting for the superiority of strength, in the hearts of most officers and soldiers, the word "Zichuan" still represented orthodoxy. From the time of the grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, the Zichuan family began to rule, and it is believed that the existence of the family is as eternal as the rì moon and stars. Although it has suffered heavy losses, the Zichuan family cannot be subverted. Since the Zichuan family can't collapse, then Di Lin will definitely be unlucky, and those who follow Di Lin will also be unlucky. It doesn't take a lot of wisdom for the soldiers to figure it out.

Moreover, I heard that Lord Xiuchuan, the commander of the Far East, has already stood on the side of His Royal Highness Ning to ask for King Qin. Although the military police and military judges in the army are propagating that the Far Eastern Army is so poor that they cannot even afford to equip themselves with armor and weapons, everyone should not worry at all. But everyone remembers that on the battlefield of Bataan that year, the Far Eastern Army shook the Demon God Emperor Guards Brigade head-on for a day and a night, and would rather die than retreat. Although the soldiers of the Far East were poorly armed, their bravery was astounding. No one wants to be the enemy of such an opponent.

Now, Dìdū's soldiers are privately deliberating on how to deal with this catastrophe. In many rank-and-file units, soldiers make private agreements with officers. The soldiers promised not to fire cold arrows at the officer on the battlefield and not to stab him in the back, and the officer promised that he would not prevent the soldiers from fleeing and surrendering in the event of a battle with the Far Eastern Army - of course, a few pretentious shouts were required, otherwise the officer would not be able to explain to the gendarmerie inspectors, but he would not do it. Of course, if everyone surrenders to the Far East, the soldiers will also have to prove to the Far East Army that the officers are not really on the side of Dilin.

The Inspectorate is also well aware of the centrifugal situation in the military. Gopra, who is in charge of military affairs, reported to the Supervision Office, and he said frankly: "At least seventy percent of the officers and soldiers are unreliable, and forty percent of them are on the side of the Zichuan family." As for how many people really support us, I don't think they are. To straighten them out - IMHO, it would be easier to disband them all and rebuild them. ”

The audience was in an uproar, and everyone thought that it would not work according to Gopla's approach, not to mention the cost and materials consumed, a big war could break out at any time, so how could there be time to retrain the troops?

Gopra insisted on his opinion: "An unreliable army is worse than no army!"

Shabro said: "No matter how unreliable an army is, it is better than empty-handed!" Zi Chuanning issued a document saying that the Far Eastern Army and the Northwest Army may attack at any time, and we will face an attack from the east and the west -- at this time, it is a matter of life and death for any additional strength!"

After an argument and a quarrel, everyone always has to compromise. At this meeting, the Inspectorate drew up an outline plan for the year's army building, the main contents of which included the reorganization of five new divisions, including one cavalry division and four infantry divisions, all of which belonged to the gendarmerie sequence. At the same time as the formation of the new army, the Supervision Office planned to reduce the huge force of 150,000 troops of the 21st division of the original expeditionary force, with the ultimate goal of reducing it to 50,000 men in six divisions.

At the same time, the Inspectorate must be prepared to meet the Orc legions coming from the southeastern land route and the cavalry groups rolling in from the northwestern plains.

Di Lin stood up, his body was calm and powerful, and his deep eyes emitted a sharp light: "Everyone, the road ahead is already a desperate situation, and the only way to fight to the death is to fight!"

The officers stood up and responded in unison: "I am willing to follow His Highness until death!"

On September 10, the spies sent by the Supervision Office to Valen reported that long convoys loaded with grain, grass and baggage from various provinces in the Far East continued to flow in, and the half-orc troops mobilized from all over the country were rushing to the fortress at night, and the noise of the new troops could be heard in the square of the fortress in every rì.

On 11 September, Ming Hui expelled the military judges and gendarmes stationed in the Ombudsman's Office, severing all ties with the Ombudsman. The more than 100,000 field troops distributed on the long front of the defense of the Liufeng family began to shrink, and the nobles' private soldiers from all over the northwest received orders to assemble at the headquarters of the Northwest Frontier Army.

On September 14, 786, Lin Rui, the patriarch of the Lin family, issued a statement in Heqiu, saying that the Lin family and the orthodox imperial power of the Zichuan family had a deep friendship for many years, and the two countries had always been friendly. Now seeing that Miss Zichuan Ning, the royal family of the Zichuan family, was forced into exile in the Far East by rebellion, Uncle Lin Rui, who had a strong sense of justice, really couldn't stand it anymore. He said that although the Lin family had just experienced a tragic war and suffered great losses, the brave children of the Lin family would never stand idly by in this great showdown between justice and evil.

"As long as His Royal Highness Ning says a word, the 100,000 Lin family jīng rui will be invited, go up the Lancang River, and help Zichuan eradicate the rebellion!"

On September 13, 786, Marshal Liufeng Shuang issued a statement in Blue City, saying that Emperor Lin killed the monarch with his ministers, and this kind of behavior was intolerable. The marshal himself and the Zichuan family once fought side by side against the demons, and they had a deep comradeship. As a person with a strong sense of justice, the marshal said that he was willing to lend a helping hand at the right time to help the Zichuan family eradicate the scum - compared to Lin Ruilai, it was more straightforward to flow wind and frost, and even the step of the Zichuan family's invitation was omitted. Of course, if someone thinks that Liufeng Shuang is ill-intentioned and robbed by taking advantage of the fire, it is definitely his psychological filth and spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

There is a big difference between doing bad things and not finding out. Previously, everyone knew that Di Lin was rebellious, but they could cover their eyes and pretend not to see it, but as soon as Zichuan Ning's text came out, Di Lin was like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him. Lin Rui, Liu Fengshuang and other powerful warlords not to mention, even Liu Fengqing and Liu Fengming, who were pressed and beaten by Liufeng Forest on the coast of Jiaxi thousands of miles away, came out and shouted a few times, saying that Di Lin ignored the monarch and the minister Dalun and committed heinous crimes, which really deserved death, and the two of them also had to send troops to crusade against Yunyun - in fact, they were just advertising to earn prestige, and the world would forget that there were two small princes on the other side of the continent.

Time rolled into October of 786. There was calm everywhere, and even the province of Bartley was now a truce, but from Valen to Dìdū, from southeast to northwest, from the Guchi Mountains to Lake Duolun, the experienced subjects of the Zichuan family could feel that the current tranquility was nothing more than the calm before the unprecedented storm, and the air was filled with the unique smell of the pre-war period, which was suffocating.

On the seventh day of November in 786, at dusk, under the blood-red sunset, a sweaty messenger rushed into the east gate of Dìdū like a whirlwind, and shouted loudly and crisply while galloping him: "The Far Eastern Army has sent troops from Valen Pass to the west, with flags all over the sky, and the number of troops exceeds 100,000!"

As soon as the fast horse rode by, thousands of people watched from the road. The news spread like lightning throughout the city, and many people rushed to the east gate, where they waited for further news. When the guards of the city gate saw the large crowd gathered, fearing that something might happen, they shouted to drive them away. But at this moment, people's curiosity had overcome a qiē, more and more people gathered, and dozens of garrisons looked so weak in front of the surging people.

At night, the crowd held torches and stood guard at the dìdū gate, which became a sea of torches. A bold young man whispered: "Long live the Far Eastern Commanders!"

The city gate guard shouted: "Whoever is screaming, arrest it!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the city, and the second messenger rushed into the city gate, and seeing the crowd gathered in the streets, the knight stopped his horse and shouted: "Urgent! The Far Eastern Army has exceeded 200,000!"

"Oh......" The voice of tens of thousands of people sighing together was like the howling of the sea, and the voice of "Long live the Far Eastern Commander" sounded again, and the garrison's face was blue, but he no longer shouted and suppressed.

At midnight, when the third knight messenger appeared, a black-pressed crowd gathered at the city gate, leaving a path in the middle of the crowd that led to Dìdūzhōngyāng Street.

"The army, the army of unprecedented size! 400,000 troops! The ironclad army of the half-orcs has no end in sight, the army has come out of Valen, the front team has entered the province of Dama, and the rear team has not finished yet!"

The people were boiling, and countless people shouted in unison: "Long live the Far Eastern Commanders!"

The city gate guard shouted along, "Long live the Far Eastern Commanders!" His face was filled with a heartfelt and joyful smile, as if he felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

The troops dispatched this time include: the Second Army of the Far East, the Third Army of the Far East, the Guards of the King of Light, the Second Military Town of the Demon Kingdom, and the Third Military Town of the Demon Kingdom, with a total strength of sixty-eight half-orc teams, ten human divisions, ten Xiuzi battalion brigades, and twenty-six teams of demon servants, with a total strength of 313,000 people.

In addition, the six northeastern provinces that were subordinate to the Far East also sent garrisons from various provinces to help, with a total of nine divisions and nearly 100,000 men.

Such a large scale of troops was also rare in the history of the Zichuan family, and Valen City could not accommodate such a large army, so the army had to set off in batches. If you look from above, the entire canyon of the Gucci Mountains is covered by dense armies. Only when the front team goes out of the city, the rear team can enter the city from Valen.

At dawn on October 30, the Valen Fortress swore to send troops to fight against the rebellion. The first 40,000-strong legion of ironclad orcs marched out of Valen's West Gate. In the red light of dawn, the soldiers were like a river of steel winding through the mountains of the Gucci Mountains.

In the morning light, the soldiers who set out from Valen all saw the beautiful girl standing at the head of the city wearing a white cloak. She stood there like a sculpture, raising her hands in salute for more than two hours, sweat soaking through her clothes and splashing on the floor of the tower.

Shikawa Xiu persuaded her to go down and rest. But Zichuan Ning replied very seriously: "Brother Xiu, the war against the demons is a national war, this time is different, it is completely for the sake of my Zichuan family." The soldiers sent out their horses and spilled their blood, and what is the burden of me being burdened by this?"

Zi Chuan Xiu stared deeply at Zi Chuan Ning, looking at her sweaty forehead and wet hair. After a long time, he said with emotion: "Your Highness is kind and merciful, and I hope you can always remember the words of this day." ”

"I will never forget Jì. She looked at the ranks of soldiers that meandered from the bottom of the city of Valen to the foot of the mountain, and in the red dawn, it was like a wriggling dragon coiling around the mountain: "If the Zichuan family can restore the country, it will be thanks to the soldiers' hard work and sacrifice." ”

She turned her head to look at Zichuan Xiu: "Of course, there is also Brother Axiu, you." Your great contribution to the family is reinvented. Please Brother Axiu, you believe that the family will definitely have something to pay off in the future. ”

Zi Chuan Xiu smiled: "Your Highness has said it. I'm still a courtier, and that's what I should do. ”

"No, Brother Axiu, you have done more than you should have done. You and he are friends for life and death. It's hard for a strong man to make you an enemy of him, but I really have no other way. Even the Lin family's alluring army was eventually defeated at his hands. Although Di Lin's character is despicable, he is indeed a rare military genius. ”

Zi Chuan Ning looked at the sky in the west and said, "The contemporary general who can match him, Brother Stirling is no longer there, the wind and frost are foreigners, and the only one the family can rely on is you." ”

Zi Chuanxiu's hands trembled slightly. It was the first time in his memory that the head of the Zichuan family had talked to himself about the problem in such a frank tone. He said very seriously: "Your Highness, the family is as kind to me as a mountain, if it were not for the cultivation of His Royal Highness Yuanxing and Lord Ge Yingxing back then, there would be no me today." The small contribution I have made is just to give back to the family, so you don't have to take it personally. ”

Zi Chuan looked at him quietly, and in the darkness, he saw a pair of shining bright eyes. Then, Shikawa Xiu heard a slight voice: "This is by no means insignificant. ”

Then, neither of them spoke again. In the morning light, two men and women with jade trees in the wind stood at the head of the city, and the dark and dreary Valen Mountains outlined their figures behind them, elegant and upright. The officers of the Far East looked at them with bated breath. These are the last two Zichuan in the world, and they have a proud and intolerable beauty, like ice and snow on a lonely peak.
