Chapter Thirteen Wufeng Returns the Capital
During the month when Galinglan was captured, a lot of things happened to the imperial capital.
After the post-war statistics, more than 600,000 people died, including the imperial capital, and there were 110,000 soldiers - unlike civilians, most of the soldiers were missing.
The captive of Emperor Huayue Jialinglan caused the condemnation from the princes from all over the world to drown the imperial capital. They believed that the dynasty's glory for more than a hundred years was defiled by the sanctuary of the people of the imperial capital. As the most sacred family in the sun, they were forced to sacrifice their most beautiful daughters, and the entire empire was shamed.
The countermeasures of Prime Minister Beryan and Chief Aide Hua Ruohan were very simple. They gathered all the city lords and legion generals to let them witness the imperial capital like a void.
Soon, the first batch of craftsmen arrived at the capital and began reconstruction work under the command of Berian. The newly built imperial capital was much smaller than before, but the city walls were taller and thicker than before, and iron pipes were buried inside at any cost to ensure that they could withstand the bombing of giant cannons.
Hua Ruohan reorganized the Ruitang Army as the chief staff member. His approach was very straightforward: all soldiers, including the military headquarters, were disbanded on the spot, and another 120,000 people were drawn from the four major legions to form a new Ruitang Army. Moreover, changing the previous tradition, the infantry and cavalry ratio was adjusted to one to one.
The only one who retained his military post was the former Royal Cavalry of Ruitang Army, Kerrbai. He was known as the "two heroes" together with the ten thousand cavalry captain of the Beiwu Legion. He was a famous young talent in the empire and a fanatical suitor of Emperor Huayue. After Emperor Huayue was captured, Kerrbai rushed back to the imperial capital like crazy, but repeatedly requested to meet the queen of heaven was rejected.
The proposal to increase military expenditure was unanimously passed at the meeting, and a large number of new weapons, including giant cannons, were manufactured and installed in every corner of the city wall.
However, at these meetings, Rong Xuetian never showed up.
A month later, Emperor Wufeng's wife was restored to the capital and finally calmed down the hearts of the ruthless people.
Wufeng Emperor Ji Jialingyao was the first female marshal in the history of the Ruitang Dynasty. With her extraordinary wisdom and courage, she won the return of her subordinates. The soldiers of the Beiwu Legion will all die for Wufeng Emperor Ji and regard it as the highest honor of the imperial warriors.
The Beiwu Legion led by Emperor Wu Feng, only 100,000 people, is the strongest combat force among the five legions. Because of the large number of warlocks in the army, it is called the Beiwu God Army.
In two years, Galingyao and her Beiwu Legion were invincible and drove the northern barbarians who invaded the empire into the deep mountains. Unlike his father Shen Hongtian's decision to kill, Galingyao was more influenced by his mother, and used both kindness and power in the battle to continuously disintegrate the barbarian power. A large number of barbarians were moved to the vast plains of the empire's east and merged with the locals.
When the tragedy of the imperial capital occurred, Emperor Wufeng, led the army to fight the decisive battle with the barbarian leaders. She led the elite imperial forces composed of 483 leopard cavalry and 97 sorcerers to defeat the last main force of Tuwa, the leader of Tuwa, the largest barbarian tribe. Tuwa was cut off his left arm and fled into the mountains and forests. The northern border was completely pacified.
When Emperor Wufeng was preparing to further clean up the remaining barbarian tribes, he received an emergency message from the imperial capital. Emperor Wufeng Jialingyao led the ten thousand cavalry captain Ponlais and the three thousand leopard cavalry to urgently return to the imperial capital and took over the position of Marshal of the Ruitang Army.
Queen Rong Xuetian was in a state of retreat because of her sadness, and the high priest Galinghe could not accept secular positions. Jalingyao, the Emperor Wufeng, became the actual supreme ruler of the empire.
Jia Lingyao surveyed the battlefield of Tianxiong Pass and felt quite uneasy. When she climbed Tianxiong Pass, she saw no sign of fighting. In other words, Tianxiong Pass, which has 20,000 soldiers and is closely guarded, almost collapsed without fighting.
There was also Marshal Corot's 60,000 army. She knew very well how steady and experienced Marshal Corot's command was. Even if she put the current Ruitang army on the battlefield, Marshal Corot could 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, Galingyao did not have the confidence to defeat it.
Jialingyao also surveyed the enemy's camp. Apart from the hooves on the ground and the ruts of the cannon trucks, she only found a row of fences. The fences were not long, and the tops of the branches were sharpened as usual. The only abnormality was that there was a trace of blood on the tips of these branches. It was very red.
The heartbroken Queen Rong Xue Tian no longer walked out of her palace and rarely met with her children. She could not forget the humiliation she suffered, and that sense of uncleanness and guilt were always biting her heart. She could not stop missing her daughter. The only thing that could bring her comfort was the promise of the God of Mingqiong.
She sent a handwritten order to several of the most powerful knights, asking them to find out the news about Huayue Emperor. Once they find the traces, no matter how much gold baht they pay, they will still buy Kalinglan back.
A month passed, these forces almost covered the entire empire's knights, but there was no valuable clue.
When Galinglan suddenly appeared in the hall, Galingyao was shocked.
She still remembers that when she used magic crystal to communicate a month ago, she was as shy and weak as a flower bud in a greenhouse. At present, Jialinglan is a little more beautiful than before. But her temperament is as stern as the cold wind, with a murderous aura.
"Is it you, Sister Lan?" The momentum on Galinglan was even incomparable to the most powerful warrior of the Northern Wu Legion. Galingyao wanted to come forward to hug her, but stopped under the instinct of the warrior.
"It's me, sister." Jialinglan searched the information in her mind, combined with the information she got on the way back, and determined the identity of the woman in front of her.
Jia Lingyao took off the bronze mask on his face, hugged Jia Linglan tightly, and used his face to rub Jia Linglan's face. The trembling voice was filled with deep love: "Sister Lan, you are suffering. My sister is late and I can't protect you."
Galinglan examined her blood-related sister. Her facial features and figure were almost exactly the same as hers. The only difference was that her hair was black. Her body was full of strength. Although it was far less than her, she was also the most powerful warrior she had ever seen in this world.
Jialinglan comforted: "Sister, I'm fine. As the princess of the empire, while accepting the support of all peoples, I also shoulder the responsibility of protecting all peoples."
She took advantage of the opportunity to kiss the tears at the corner of Jialingyao's eyes and got the chip's detection result: "The other party's attribute detection: Strength 13, Agility 16, Physical 18."
Jia Lingyao felt that the impact his sister had brought to her was getting more and more. She kissed Jia Linglan's forehead and said solemnly: "I am proud of you, my dear sister. Let's go to see the queen of mother together. Since you left, she has been crying every day."
