During the month when Jialinglan was taken captive, many things happened in the imperial capital.
Post-war statistics show that, including the imperial capital, more than 600,000 people died, and another 110,000 soldiers - unlike civilians, most of the soldiers are missing.
And the capture of Ji Jialinglan, the Huayue Emperor, flooded the imperial capital with condemnations from princes all over the country. They believed that the sluggish existence of the people in the imperial capital had tarnished the glory of the dynasty for more than a hundred years. As the most sacred family under the sun, they were forced to sacrifice their most beautiful daughter, which brought shame to the entire empire.
Prime Minister Briand and Chief Staff Hua Ruohan¡¯s strategy was simple. They summoned all the city lords and legion generals to let them see the ruins of the imperial capital with their own eyes.
Soon, the first batch of craftsmen rushed to the capital and began the reconstruction work under the command of Brian. The newly built imperial capital was much smaller than the original, but the city walls were taller and thicker than before, and iron pipes were buried inside regardless of cost to ensure that they could withstand the bombing of giant cannons.
Hua Ruohan reorganized the Ruitang Corps as chief staff officer. His approach was straightforward: all soldiers, including the military headquarters, were disbanded on the spot, and 120,000 people were transferred from the four major legions to form the new Ruitang Legion. Moreover, the previous tradition was changed and the ratio of walking and riding was adjusted to one to one.
The only person who retained a military position was Kaaba, the former Imperial Cavalry Commander of the Ruitang Regiment. He and Pang Laisi, the cavalry commander of the Beiwu Army, are known as the "Two Heroes". They are famous young talents in the empire and are also the fanatical pursuers of Emperor Huayue. After hearing that Emperor Huayue was kidnapped, Kaaba rushed back to the imperial capital like crazy, but his repeated requests to see the Queen were rejected.
The proposal to increase military spending was unanimously approved at the meeting. A large number of new weapons, including giant cannons, were manufactured and installed in every corner of the city wall.
However, Queen Rong Xue never showed up at these meetings.
A month later, Emperor Wu Feng returned to the capital, finally calming the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties.
Ji Jia Lingyao, Emperor Wufeng, was the first female marshal in the history of the Ruitang Dynasty. With her outstanding wisdom and bravery, she won the hearts of her subordinates. The soldiers of the Beiwu Legion will all die fighting for Wu Feng Emperor Ji, which is regarded as the highest honor for the imperial warriors.
The Beiwu Legion led by Wu Feng Emperor Ji only has 100,000 people, but it is the most powerful force among the five legions. Because of the large number of sorcerers in the army, they were called the Beibu Divine Army.
In the past two years, Jia Lingyao and her Beiwu Legion were invincible, driving the northern barbarians who invaded the empire into the mountains. Unlike his father, Emperor Hongtian, who was decisive in killing, Jia Lingyao was more influenced by his mother. He used both grace and power in battle, constantly disintegrating the power of the barbarians. Large numbers of barbarians were moved into the vast plains on the eastern edge of the empire and blended in with the locals.
When the tragedy occurred in the imperial capital, Emperor Wu Feng Ji Zheng led his army to a decisive battle with the barbarian leader. She led the imperial elite composed of 483 Leopard Cavalry and 97 Warlocks, and defeated the last main force of Tuva, the leader of the largest tribe of barbarians, Turt. Tuva's left arm was cut off and he escaped into the forest. Northern Xinjiang was completely pacified.
When Emperor Wu Feng was preparing to further clean up the remaining barbarian tribes, she received an urgent message from the imperial capital. Wu Feng Emperor Ji Jia Lingyao, led by Ten Thousand Cavalry Commander Pang Laisi and three thousand Leopard Cavalry, returned to the imperial capital urgently to aid, and took over the post of Marshal of the Ruitang Army.
Queen Rongxue was in retirement due to sadness, and High Priest Jia Linghe was unable to accept secular duties. Emperor Wu Feng Ji Jia Lingyao became the de facto supreme ruler of the empire.
Jia Lingyuan surveyed the battlefield of Tianxiong Pass, feeling quite uneasy. When she ascended Tianxiong Pass, she saw no sign of fighting at all. In other words: Tianxiong Pass, which had 20,000 soldiers and was heavily guarded, almost collapsed without a fight.
There are also Marshal Corot's 60,000 troops. She knew very well how stable and experienced Marshal Corot's command was. Even if she put the current Ruitang Army into the battlefield, Marshal Corot would be able to return to the imperial capital with minimal losses.
What happened in these two battles? What kind of enemy can do such a miracle? Facing a powerful and mysterious enemy, Jia Lingyao had no confidence in defeating him.
Jia Lingyao also inspected the enemy's camp. Apart from the hoof tracks on the ground and the ruts of artillery carts, she only found a row of fences. The fence is not long, and the tops of the branches are sharpened as usual. The only exception is that there is a trace of blood on the tips of these branches. so popular.
The heartbroken Queen Rongxue never left her palace and rarely even met her children. She could not forget the humiliation she had suffered, and the feeling of impurity and guilt bit her soul all the time. She couldn't stop missing her daughter. The only thing that could bring her comfort was the promise of the Great God Mingqiong.
She sent a letter to several of the most powerful knights, asking them to search for information about Huayue Emperor Ji. Once they found the trace, they must buy back Jialinglan no matter how much gold baht they paid.
??A month has passed, these forces have almost spread over the entire empire's knights, but there have been no valuable clues.
When Jia Linglan suddenly appeared in the hall, Jia Lingyao was shocked.
She still remembers her younger sister who was as shy and weak as a bud in a greenhouse when she used the magic crystal to communicate a month ago. Jialinglan is now even more beautiful than before. But her temperament was as awe-inspiring as the cold wind, with a murderous aura.
"Is that you, Lan Mei?" Jia Linglan's aura was unmatched by even the most powerful warrior of the Beiwu Legion. Jia Lingyao wanted to step forward and hug each other, but stopped due to the warrior's instinct.
"It's me, sister." Jia Linglan searched for the information in her mind and combined it with the information she got on her way back to determine the identity of the woman in front of her.
Jia Lingyao took off the bronze mask on his face, hugged Jia Linglan tightly, and rubbed Jia Linglan's face with his own. There was deep love in her trembling voice: "Mei Lan, you have suffered. My sister came back late and failed to protect you."
Jia Linglan looked at her biological sister. Her facial features and figure are almost identical to mine, the only difference is that her hair is black. Her body is full of power. Although she is far inferior to herself, she is still the most powerful warrior she has ever seen in this world.
Jia Linglan consoled her: "Sister, I'm fine. As the princess of the empire, while accepting the support of all people, I also shoulder the responsibility of protecting all people."
She took advantage of the situation and kissed the teardrops from the corner of Jia Lingyao's eyes, and got the chip test results: "The opponent's attribute test: Strength 13, Agility 16, Constitution 18."
Jia Lingyao felt that her sister was causing more and more impact on her. She kissed Jialinglan's forehead and said solemnly: "I'm proud of you, dear sister. Let's go to see our mother together. She has been crying every day since you left."
