The imperial capital is still fighting! The imperial capital is still standing! In this dark moment, the imperial capital is like a lighthouse, emitting endless light to all directions, giving hope to the desperate people, and re-encouraging the discouraged people.

No matter what kind of lies the demons spread, they cannot erase this most basic fact: if the emperor does not fall, then the Zichuan family will not fall!

Looking up to the West, she silently prayed and blessed the soldiers who fought day and night on the front line of the imperial capital, and they shouldered the hope of the entire country.

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

Before leaving, Shirakawa wanted to pay the owner, but the owner refused to accept it. Finally, he got angry: "What? I stayed at home for one night. Can I still collect money from my relatives? Then who am I? Am I at the risk of being beheaded by the demons for these money?"

He stuffed the silver coins back into Shirakawa's arms: "Take it, daughter! I'm old and in poor health, otherwise I would join the army to fight the demons together. You are bleeding for us, how can I collect your money!"

After taking the warm coins with body temperature, Shirakawa's eyes gradually became wet.

She remembered the officers and soldiers of the 16th Column and the simple villagers who encountered at the town inn on a rainy night. She did not expect that those low-ranking people with low status were actually more patriotic and sincere than those of the high-ranking officials and nobles.

When the country is in danger, 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.

Everything seemed to be the other way around. The civilians at the bottom were eager to fight against the war and eagerly hoped to restore the lost territory. They were loyal to the motherland and pity the past years, cherish the rule of the Zichuan family, cherish the fallen motherland, and eagerly hope that the family army could counterattack and fight back as soon as possible.

On the contrary, the old officials and nobles who were once very kind to the Zichuan family were almost always on the side of the demons. They celebrated the "game army's victory" and never wanted the family army to come back, because at that time, the motherland would settle the old accounts with them.

Continue to move forward from Bartley Province, getting closer and closer to the imperial capital, and the investigation of the demons became increasingly severe. Fortunately, Brown's friendship was vast. He knew all about which part of the road had demon levels, which period of time the demon patrol would come out to patrol, and wherever he could walk around the path. Under his familiarity, Shirakawa passed many demon levels and inspections.

The worst thing is not to meet the demon clan. When encountering the demon clan, you can also show your pass or bribe the sentry through money. The most troublesome thing is to meet the bandits and stragglers and You Yong.

The demon clan is good at destruction but not at construction. The powerful military force of the demon clan shattered the rule of the Zichuan family, but was unable to establish a new order.

The outlaws and bandits who were suppressed by the Zichuan family in the past have all been armed.

In the area occupied by demons, thieves flocked in, and bandits were as numerous as cows. The common people had no way to survive. In the town, the demon soldiers were rampant. Hiding in the mountains and forests, they would be harmed by bandits.

The bandits and thieves in the Wusha Forest neither belonged to the Zichuan family nor the Demon clan. They did not buy any of their accounts, robbed the house, occupied the road and robbed the demon clan, were even more ruthless than the Demon clan.

Shirakawa encountered these bandits who blocked the road and robbed several times, and they all rely on Brown to negotiate with them and paid a toll to pass.

But for the last time, even the toll was useless. The bandits coveted money and Shirakawa's beauty and threatened to keep Shirakawa as the wife of the village. As a result, the masters of the Far East had to use their saber to kill them before rushing out.

There are also some thieves who are not full-time. They are the soldiers and troops of the Zichuan family who were scattered. They organized various underground resistance organizations, such as Volunteers, Rebels, Death Squads, Guerrillas, etc. Although the banner is very good, they are forced to survive. They are no less harmful to the local area than the demons.

Shirakawa was very sad to see that these officers and soldiers who had once determined to defend the country were gradually becoming bandits and thieves, and those forces that should have been able to defend their country were used in such a place.

From the Far East to the imperial capital, we were thrilling all the way, dealing with the characters of the third-rate and nine sects, and fighting with swords and shadows for several thrilling battles was common for Shirakawa, who had been through the battlefield for a long time. It seemed like water flowing through stones without leaving any trace.

Only one thing deeply touched her and she could not forget her for a long time.

On the road in the suburbs of Dak City, the imperial capital, the group met a team of patrol soldiers from the 16th column. They stopped the Far East team: "Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going? Are you there any passes?"

Brown quickly came forward and said that he had come from Ankara to visit his relatives, and that the people behind him were all his relatives.

Speaking of the emotional part, he burst into tears: "Mr. Jun. Good luck, let us go! We are all farmers of our duty, it's not easy to go out!" He begged bitterly, while secretly stuffing a few silver coins to the patrol captain.

During the negotiation process in less than two minutes, cold sweat wet Shirakawa's back. Any soldier came over and shouted: "Open your bag!" The sword hidden in the donkey's bag would be 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 collecting Brown's money, the captain waved his hand: "It's okay! You guys go!"

"Thank you Jun Ye, thank you Jun Ye. If you do many good deeds, you will be able to live a long life!"

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

Shirakawa was tense and his hands couldn't help but touch his bag.

The captain came over and said seriously: "Don't go forward again! The demons set up levels in front of you. There are many people, and you will definitely be detained for inspection if you encounter them."

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

Brown quickly came up and said, "Captain, you are such a great person. We will never know how to repay your kindness in our lives!"

"Good man, is that?" the captain smiled bitterly.

Before leaving, he looked back at Shirakawa: "Please say hello to Commander Shirakawa on his behalf, Lord Shirakawa."

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

The captain smiled happily, and his wrinkled face stretched out: "Actually, I recognized you at first sight. You are the beloved general of Lord Zichuan, a famous beautiful general in the army. Back then, many of my brothers and I were your admirers. Unfortunately, now - alas!" An endless sigh scattered gently in the wind, full of sighs of vicissitudes of the world.

He gently shook hands with Shirakawa and turned around and walked towards his subordinates.

Shirakawa looked at him blankly until the patrol team walked away, and his figure gradually disappeared at the end of the road. The middle-aged man with vicissitudes and wrinkles, his melancholy and sad smile was deeply engraved in her heart.

She gently opened her palm, and there was an extra pass token on her hand, which was written with curved demon characters, which was a pass issued by the demons to those obedient human military and civilians.

In this world of war, sad and changing war, loyalty and evil, sometimes not so distinct from black and white. There is another color between black and white, that is gray.

Looking up at the distance, a dark shadow was summoning her from afar on the horizon.

The imperial capital is already in sight, and the end of the journey is about to arrive.

The imperial capital, the central key of the Zichuan Empire, and the famous ancient capital of the dynasty.

Two hundred and twenty-one years ago, a snowy night, a short general's sharp voice shocked the city: "From today, this place is called the imperial capital! My Zichuan family is independent here!"

Three hundred thousand black-clad men roared in unison: "Long live! Long live!" The spear was raised like a forest, and the sounds roared in the wind and clouds, shaking the world. A generation of heroes raised the flag of rebellion against the stormy empire.

From this day on, the flag of Jin Jinhua was gradually descending from the continent, and the black flying eagle flag with its teeth and claws slowly rose, and the shadow of the sharp claws covered half of the continent.

The hero's name is Zichuan Yun, and the city originally named Jiashan Fortress has since had a loud name: "Imperial Capital!"

Over the past two hundred and twenty-one years, the fate of the city has been linked to the rise and fall of Zichuan. A series of glorious names are engraved in the history of this city, including Zichuan Cloud, Yarimei, Shaka, Zichuan Xing, Yunshanhe, and Kamu.

The city has witnessed the overwhelming group of Liufeng cavalrymen and the endless demon armored beasts.

In the 553rd year of the empire, Yun Long, a general of the demon army, led 200,000 demon army into the pass and besieged Jiashan Fortress for three months, but he was unable to go down.

Yunlong had to march in a roundabout way, and the troops that retreated from the Jiashan Fortress city destroyed the Empire of Light three months later.

In the 732nd year of the empire, under the instigation of the Liufeng family, the Zichuan family's border guard general Lougaro rebelled. Three hundred thousand rebels and 200 thousand Liufeng family troops rushed to the imperial capital city. The army continued for hundreds of miles, with the gongs and drums clamoring the sky. Everyone in the imperial capital city changed color and thought that the country was destroyed.

But less than a week, the Far East commander Kamu led 200,000 Far East troops back to the rescue, and defeated Liufeng on the Vanessa River. The Far East cavalry chased Liufeng's family and defeated the defeated soldiers until Lancheng.

In the 771st year of the empire, Liufeng Xishan defeated Zichuan Yuanxing, and 100,000 Liufeng troops once again held troops under the imperial capital.

Looking up at the towering city tower, the famous general who was later called Liufeng Fox was full of confidence, but overnight, 800 Far East cavalry once again shattered the Liufeng family's dream of dominance under the imperial capital city. The tears of despair in Liufeng West Mountain made the rise of the epoch-making famous general Zichuan Xiu.

After repeated sieges and glorious victories, the city has been besieged and attacked many times in history, but has never surrendered.

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 want to seize the southeast, you must first seize the imperial capital! The emperor will not fall, and Zichuan will never be destroyed!"

And similarly, this is also the concern of the loyal ministers and generals of the Zichuan family.

Sterling pointed out sharply: "If the emperor does not protect him, the southwest barrier will be destroyed. The enemy can go down the river to the northwest and southwest, and our army will be in full swing!"

In May of the 784th year of the Empire, this historical city with a history of more than 400 years and has been besieged many times has once again faced severe tests, and the whole world's attention is focused on it.

On one side are the elite soldiers and generals of the Demon God Emperor, with more than 600,000 demon soldiers; on the other side are the few human military and civilians who are determined to fight to the death.

If the imperial capital is taken down, it means that the most powerful defense line of mankind - the Zichuan family - collapsed, and Liufeng was divided into pieces and the Lin family was weak and powerless. Taking advantage of the great victory of the imperial capital, the soldiers and horses of the Demon Emperor could pour into the northwest, which was rich in grain and military horses, and into the rich southwest plain. They chased and annihilated the remaining soldiers of the defeated Zichuan family on the southwest plain, destroyed the exiled government of the Zichuan family in Danya, forced the weak Lin family to surrender, and defeated the weak army commanded by Liu Fengshuang. In the end, the only way out for the isolated Yuanjing regime is to surrender - this is the plan to conquer mankind by the Demon Command.

Of course, the real process may be very complicated. It is estimated that it will last for two to three years. The demon army will encounter strong resistance and sporadic guerrillas will come out to harass them. However, at the strategic level, the plan is impeccable. But the premise for all plans to implement is to win the imperial capital!

For a time, the fate of the demon clan, the fate of mankind, and the fate of the entire continent will all depend on whether the Zichuan army can withstand it when the demon clan army is approaching and is rushing to attack the imperial capital and is rushing to attack the madly!

The commander-in-chief of the Demon Army was Yun Qianxue, a famous general in the Demon Kingdom. He has always been known for his cautious use of military service.

Under his command, he led the vanguard army group of the Demon Kingdom, including the Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Thirteenth and other legions of the Demon Kingdom.

None of these troops are weak brigades, among which the famous Yulin Second Army has always been called the Royal Guards, and its combat effectiveness is second only to the Kingdom Guards Brigade personally led by the Demon God Emperor.

In addition, the Third Kingdom Army led by Yerma, the Sixth Kingdom Army led by Winkra, and the Eleventh Kingdom Army led by Peima are also legions composed of the children of Sainia, and their combat effectiveness is far better than that of ordinary demon legions.

Among the twelve existing legions in the Demon God Kingdom, seven of them gathered on the front line of the imperial capital, with a total force of more than 600,000.

The devils are dispatched to capture a city by mobilizing the army, which shows that the demons are bound to capture the imperial capital.

Faced with the aggressive offensive of the demons, the human military and civilians were also prepared to fight to the death.

"The country is in danger, and people should be loyal and righteous!" This is a huge banner hanging on the top of the imperial capital and the most popular slogan to inspire morale in the military.

The citizens of the imperial capital have never felt so truly that their personal destiny is so closely linked to the destiny of the country. Whether it is the noble royal Chinese, or the workers, farmers, merchants, students, officials, soldiers who live at the bottom of society, their destiny is now on the same line in the face of the surging army of demons.

Since April, the imperial capital has entered the national war preparations, and civilians, both young and young, women and children, have withdrawn from the city one after another, and young and middle-aged people have joined the army in large numbers.

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

Miss Ning, Zichuan, gave a speech: "Imperial citizens, we have no way out! Whoever is a real man should fight to the death! In the face of the crisis, robbers and bandits break into the door and take up weapons to defend their homes. That is a mission that men cannot escape! Women, children and elderly people 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 they escape, the demon clan army will follow! If you do not resist at this time, it will be too late to resist! Should the men die standing or live on their knees?"

The venue was silent, and suddenly, like a thunderclap resounding across the imperial capital. The human beings who were forced to the end let out the final roar: "Fight with the demons!"

The father said goodbye to the child, the husband said goodbye to his wife, and the son said goodbye to his mother. He could not say enough to give him a lot of care, and countless touching scenes that attracted tears, and tears splashed the streets of the imperial capital.

Women, the elderly and children retreated from the Western Gate of the Imperial Capital. The men stood by the road and watched their families stagger towards the sunset. Silent blessings rippled in the air with tears: "My mother, my wife, my child! Forgive me to leave you alone to carry the difficulties of life. I hope you will be happy!"

For many of them, this farewell will be a perfect outcome.

After seeing off the family and wiped away the tears, the men walked silently to the registration meeting point of the reserve soldiers scattered on the streets of the imperial capital.

There are too many people joining the army, and the logistics department cannot provide so many uniforms and weapons. Many reserve soldiers can only receive a white or red cloth strip. The officers teach them to tie the cloth strips to their heads. This is the symbol of reserve soldiers.

As for weapons - do you still need to ask? The officers replied: "The weapon has been sent, if you want it-" He pointed fiercely to the east: "Let's go to the demons!"

In this way, countless mediocre citizens, in one minute, have become soldiers who defend their country.

Under the command of the officer, the basic queues and assassination movements were learned. The vast streets of the imperial capital were their schoolyards, and the streets and alleys were filled with yelling and killing practices.
