Chapter 1798: Full Force Seclusion to Deal With the One-Year Agreement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

To Chu Yunfan’s surprise, even though they were retreating in large strides, the demon army did not show any signs of weakness. Everything was retreating in an orderly manner. The troops at the rear resisted desperately, while the other troops retreated in an orderly manner.

From this alone, Chu Yunfan could tell that the demon commander was a master of military strategy. As a master of military strategy himself, Chu Yunfan could see this.

It wasn’t the most difficult thing to make an army attack in an orderly manner. The real difficulty was to make an army retreat in an orderly manner without causing the entire army to collapse. Since ancient times, there have been many such cases. During the retreat, they would be utterly defeated, not to mention that this collective retreat of millions could still be organized in an orderly manner.

Chu Yunfan was speechless. There was indeed a master in the demon army.

However, the grand commandant of Grand Xia was also extraordinary. He took advantage of the situation and killed, causing the demon army to suffer heavy losses.

Chu Yunfan led the Baotai garrison and killed several Cosmic monsters and thousands of elite demons. After the battle, the Baotai soldiers finally showed some of their elite demeanor and had incomparable confidence. To them, the high and mighty existences in the past had all been cut down. There was nothing else that could unite the hearts of the people more than this.

After taking advantage of the situation and killing for more than a thousand miles, the Grand Xia army finally withdrew their troops and did not continue to pursue them. Otherwise, they might face a counterattack from the demon army. If that happened, the losses would be even greater. The harvest from this spring sweep was already great enough. The elite troops from all over the world had received sufficient training.

After the troops were withdrawn, orders were quickly passed down. The troops returned to their original positions in different orders, and the million-strong army was to be dispersed. Of course, among these troops, the Baotai garrison was the most special. They were only a local garrison and were soon ordered to return to Baotai.

Soon after Chu Yunfan returned to Baotai, the promotion order from the Grand Commandant’s Office arrived. He had been promoted from Tiger General to External General. Although he was still a general with a miscellaneous title, his status was completely different now. Rank-2 was a dividing line. He was considered a high official of the imperial court, not a dispensable small figure.

Chu Yunfan had made great contributions and killed many Cosmic monsters. If it weren’t for his lack of experience, he might have been able to advance another level.

However, this was what made Chu Yunfan special. Those who could kill Cosmic monsters must be Cosmics themselves. These people had high statuses. They would not be like Chu Yunfan, who had suddenly risen from the bottom. This made Chu Yunfan very special.

In the Baotai garrison camp, Chu Yunfan instructed You Chuyun to stay back after dealing with the representatives sent by the many forces in the city and nearby to congratulate him on his promotion.

You Chuyun was ecstatic. It wasn’t just Chu Yunfan who had been rewarded. The entire Baotai garrison had been promoted. Even he was given a Rank-5 general title. Though he was only a low-grade general, there were countless Interpreters in Grand Xia. Only a small portion of them could become a general with any title.

It was rare for someone to be promoted to a general in such a short time, especially for someone who had served in the army for many years and made many contributions. This could be considered bringing honor to his ancestors!

You Chuyun was glad that he had made the right choice to follow Chu Yunfan. Otherwise, he might still be a nobody in the Flying Celestials.

“Congratulations, General Chu. Now that you have been promoted to External General, it will not be easy for Li Qianyuan to attack you,” You Chuyun said.

“This is just the beginning,” Chu Yunfan said with a wave.

He did not think that this was his limit. To him, this was just the beginning.

“You saw the promotion document from the Grand Commandant’s Office, yes? Our garrison is going to be upgraded to an External Army. The garrison will be the backbone of Grand Xia. The Ministry of War will also send new recruits who have completed their training as soon as possible,” Chu Yunfan said, “However, a recruit is just a recruit. It’ll take time for them to integrate. When they get here, they’ll have to undergo special training.”

“Yes, I understand,” You Chuyun said.

“The grand commandant is very generous. I can write imperial edict for all the positions in this army. There is no one else above me. Now, I am the commanding general, and you’re the deputy general. When I’m not around, your words are equivalent to my words,” Chu Yunfan said.

You Chuyun looked incomparably excited. He had never thought of this before. This was because there were tens of thousands of soldiers. The previous Baotai garrison only had a few hundred people, and they were just low-level officers. It was impossible for them to hold a high position. The possibility of a group of officers dropping from above was very high.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Grand Commandant’s Office did not send a group of officers down. All of them were to be appointed by Chu Yunfan. The situation was completely different.

“I’ll be going into seclusion for two months to prepare for the one-year agreement with Wang Yifan. I’ll have to rely on you to handle military matters,” Chu Yunfan said.

“I will handle it. Rest assured, General Chu,” You Chuyun said.

At this moment, he was no longer worried about Chu Yunfan’s defeat. After seeing Chu Yunfan’s short-term methods, he understood that Wang Yifan had made a huge mistake by giving Chu Yunfan a year. For ordinary people, a year might not change anything, but for Chu Yunfan, it was enough to make everyone shocked.

After giving his instructions, Chu Yunfan went into his seclusion with all his strength.

At the same time, in the imperial capital of Grand Xia, within the Marquis Huntian residence.

Li Qianyuan, his followers, Li Yu, and the others gathered together. Everyone looked depressed because they had heard that Chu Yunfan had been promoted from fifth-grade general to second-grade general. Although Chu Yunfan wasn’t considered a big shot in all of Grand Xia, it was extremely difficult for anyone to be granted such a title. Even Li Qianyuan had experienced many battles before he was finally granted the title of marquis.

This was not good news for them.
