On September 27, the fourth tragedy occurred. The town that was massacred this time was only three hundred miles away from the imperial capital.
Without the need for analysis by Hua Ruohan, the chief staff of the empire, everyone who participated in the imperial meeting saw the enemy's intention: starting from Tuoyu City fourteen days ago, the four towns where the massacre occurred were connected in a straight line on the map, stretching straight to Imperial capital.
As the core of the Ruitang Dynasty, the imperial capital is located on a plain three hundred miles wide, surrounded by mountains and ridges, with only five roads that can cross it. The empire built five majestic passes in the mountain passes, which have never been captured by any enemy in history. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Wuwei relied on two thousand soldiers to make the enemy's one hundred thousand soldiers wander outside the pass, unable to advance. Now, each pass has 20,000 elite members of the Ruitang Corps.
Tianxiong Pass, located at the chokepoint in the south, is even more dangerous. When building this pass, no city walls were even built. The five city gates were installed directly between the mountain walls, and then an arch bridge fortress was built on the gate, which became a natural 's portal. All barracks and warehouses are caves carved into the mountain walls. Faced with such a dangerous natural barrier, even the most powerful Leopard Cavalry of the Beiwu Legion was useless.
In order to ensure safety, Imperial Marshal Corot personally led 60,000 soldiers to Tianxiong Pass.
On the night of September 28, Marshal Corot once again reported the whereabouts of the army to Queen Rongxue. Forty thousand infantry have already joined the main force and will march towards Tianxiong Pass early tomorrow morning. Subsequently, the communication between the military department and Tianxiong Pass was normal.
But an hour later, when the military headquarters called again, Marshal Corot's army and the defenders of Tianxiong Pass seemed to have disappeared without any response.
The military headquarters was busy all night, using various methods, and even contacted the most distant Nanxiang Corps to prove that the equipment was intact. Finally, they had to admit that they had lost contact with Marshal Corot, who was very close at hand.
In the early morning of September 29th, boundless haze enveloped the world. The sacred imperial capital lost its former glory and became dim.
In the hazy mist, countless black cavalry were looming, and the pure black flags were continuous, like a black rope, wrapped around the neck of the empire.
No one knows how they conquered Tianxiong Pass and how they completely annihilated the 60,000-strong army led by Marshal Corot himself. However, the living reality is right in front of us - the imperial capital has been surrounded by enemies.

In fact, Jialinglan doesn¡¯t care about the situation in the outside world these days. Since she started practicing on September 12th, she has been in the dream world for almost twenty hours a day for seventeen days. Coupled with the time flow rate ratio of the chip itself, she has spent more than forty days and nights in the world of Swordsman.
Jialinglan¡¯s current attributes are: strength 5 (5), agility 8 (8), intelligence 17 (17), constitution 7 (7), will 14 (14), and charm 11 (11).
In the world of Swordsman, the Fuwei Escort Bureau has been destroyed, the Hengshan Sect Liu Zhengfeng¡¯s Golden Basin Washing Ceremony has ended, and Lin Pingzhi has also become a disciple of Yue Buqun. The Qingcheng faction searched the Fuwei Escort Agency to no avail. People in the world who coveted the evil sword manual focused their attention on Lin Pingzhi and the Huashan Sect.
Jia Linglan did not participate in these previous martial arts events. She is very self-aware, and with her current strength, I am afraid she cannot even beat the top four talents in Qingcheng. Participating in these incidents will not only bring no benefits, but may also put your life in danger. The most important thing to do now is to practice the Nine Yin Manual.
When all attributes reach 30 or above, you will have the strength equivalent to Mei Chaofeng back then. In this world, you can fight with the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
She was practicing in the inn that day when she was suddenly brought back to reality. This is the chip's protection measure. When the host's body shifts in reality, or there are drastic changes in heat, electricity, light and magnetism nearby, the dream enhancement mode will be automatically suspended.
When Jialinglan woke up, the tremors of the earth had not ended, and there was still a buzzing in her ears. Before she could react, a huge roar sounded again, the walls of the house were crumbling, the room was plunged into darkness, and dust from the roof fell straight down.
"Is this a bombardment?!" Compared to the aborigines of the Cangqian World, Jialinglan was more familiar with this situation. In panic, she wrapped herself in a quilt and escaped from the room that was about to collapse, lying down in the garden.
The shelling lasted for a whole day before it stopped. In the evening, the maids found Jialinglan and sent her to Queen Rongxue's palace. In the palace, Jialinglan saw her sister and brother.
Qiongyu Diji¡¯s face turned pale. The moment she saw her sister, she immediately rushed towards her, got into Jialinglan's arms, and cried loudly. Jia Linglan's body stiffened, and then she hugged Jia Lingjie stiffly and gently stroked her back to comfort her.
The six-year-old little prince Jia Lingyang has a very happy expression.Determined, he protected his two sisters and urged the palace maid to fetch him armor and swords. He solemnly declared: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"
When it was almost midnight, Queen Rongxue rushed back to her palace. Qiongyu Emperor Ji Jialingjie immediately got into her mother's arms and burst into tears: "Mom"
Queen Rongxue comforted her little daughter while looking at Jia Lingjie who was sitting nervously and quietly beside the bed. Seeing the distant look in Jialingjie's eyes, her heart ached.
Jia Lingyang came over, wearing a helmet and armor, holding a sword hilt in his hand, and said proudly: "Queen Mother! Why don't we go to fight the enemy?"
Queen Rongxue was stunned for a long time, and then asked softly: "Do you want to go to the battlefield?"
"My sister told me that our Jialing family is the king on the battlefield and has never lost any battle! Mother, I want to defend the empire like my father and my heroic ancestors!"
Queen Rongxue stroked her son's soft hair, "Of course your empire needs you to protect it, but you are still too young now, can you wait a little longer?"
"But the enemy is outside"
Queen Rongxue was shocked. The enemy did not rush into the imperial capital as expected. What were they waiting for?
An officer rushed into the palace regardless of etiquette, fell to his knees, gasped and handed over a roll of sheepskin.
Queen Rongxue only glanced at it before the parchment fell to the ground. Her face turned pale, then flushed with shame and anger.
The sound of cannons outside sounded again, as if urging something, Queen Rongxue was stunned for a moment, and hurried out.
Jia Linglan curiously picked up the lambskin, with a line of black writing branded on it: "Presenting Huayue Emperor Ji before dawn." Her mood immediately fell to the bottom.
