In just over a year, the environment of the Baotai City area had undergone earth-shaking changes. With the strong army of Zhenyuan Army guarding it, even in the border area, those foreign races could not infiltrate.
For the forces that infiltrated from all sides, Chu Yunfan had only one attitude, and that was to uproot them.
No matter who they colluded with, they would be executed if found out!
Under the iron fist, not to mention the forces that infiltrated from the foreign races, even the local bandits were all uprooted.
Originally, there were a large number of horse bandits and robbers living in the border area. With the strength of the original Baotai City garrison, of course, it was impossible to eliminate them. Once they left the city, they might even be ambushed and wiped out.
In this case, these horse bandits and robbers were very arrogant.
Now that the Zhenyuan Army had risen, these horse bandits and robbers could only flee far away to avoid the edge.
After killing all of these bandits, Chu Yunfan chopped off all of their heads and used it as a monument to intimidate those who tried to take advantage of the situation.
With a peaceful environment, the development of Baotai City was naturally extremely fast. In just one year, it had developed by leaps and bounds and became the center of many nearby cities.
After all, not all border cities had such conditions. It was no longer a frontline city, so it was naturally unlikely to have elite troops stationed here.
Even when it was originally the frontline, it was unlikely to prevent the attacks of all kinds of bandits, because the most elite troops were responsible for fighting against the demon race army and had no time to pacify the place.
They could only guard the city from being harassed, but some remote places were inevitably harassed by these bandits. This was already an old problem.
It was not that the Great Xia Empire did not want to solve it, but that the Great Xia Empire was facing strong enemies on all sides. Even with the powerful national strength of the Great Xia Empire, it was somewhat stretched.
In addition, after Baotai City became an inland city, the garrison troops had long become second-rate local garrison troops. They could basically defend the city, but they were unable to go out of the city to suppress bandits.
In addition, these bandits still knew the severity of the situation and did not dare to attack the city. Otherwise, if the Great Xia Empire was angry, it would only take a breath to uproot these bandits.
Therefore, many cities turned a blind eye to these bandits. However, Chu Yunfan didn't care about these unspoken rules. Basically, he killed every bandit he caught without any mercy.
For a time, the entire area around Bao Tai City had become a restricted area. The people in Bao Tai City could see the Zhenyuan army cavalry leaving the city from time to time, hundreds and thousands of them taking turns to suppress the bandits.
However, they would return triumphantly in a few days. Basically, those ordinary bandits were really no match for the Zhenyuan army. Even if there were some hidden experts among them, under the suppression of the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect in the army, they were not a threat at all.
It was not until the real bandit extermination that Chu Yunfan realized how chaotic the nearby area was. Many of the supporters behind the bandits might be the disciples of some evil sect, or even some evil sect. There were many hidden experts among them.
However, they were basically no match for the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect. After all, they were the elite disciples of the sect.
In some cases, Chu Yunfan even encountered a bandit leader at the Cosmos Realm. Ordinary disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect were not their opponents. In the end, it provoked Chu Yunfan to personally take action and kill them in one blow.
After killing several bandit leaders at the Cosmos Realm in succession, all the experts among the bandits fled when they heard the news. They all heard that a ruthless person had come.
On this day, in the commander's tent of the Zhenyuan army camp in Bao Tai City, Chu Yunfan held a document from the Supreme Commandant's Office.
A document to promote his official position promoted Chu Yunfan from the original second-grade Zhenyuan general to the first-grade Zhenyuan general.
The speed of promotion was so fast that it was estimated that many people's eyes would fall off.
However, Chu Yunfan was not surprised. After more than a year, he was still the same as a year ago. He looked in his early twenties, with a bit of understanding and certainty in his expression.
In Chu Yunfan's view, this was just a matter of course. In this year's time, he personally killed more than ten masters of the Cosmos Realm, all of whom were old bandits. Each of them was full of crimes and blood debts.
Therefore, Chu Yunfan absolutely did not have the slightest mercy. These masters of the Cosmos Realm were basically in the first, second, and third layers of the Cosmos Realm. In many of the Cosmos Realm, they could only be ranked at the bottom.
However, even if there were masters in the sixth and seventh layers of the Cosmos Realm, it was impossible for them to be opponents of Chu Yunfan. They were all targets that could be killed with one punch. For him, there was no essential difference.
These masters of the Cosmos Realm, except for a few rogue cultivators, the others were considered to have a foothold. They were basically the disciples of those big sects outside the territory of evil spirits, but for various reasons, they stayed here and became bandits.
Even many bandits were supported by them. Their purpose was to plunder various resources to provide support for their cultivation.
But now all of them died in the hands of Chu Yunfan. In more than a year, Chu Yunfan killed more than a dozen masters of the Cosmos Realm. In addition to ordinary bandits, there were hundreds of thousands of them. It could be said that the bandits near Baotai City were almost wiped out.
Otherwise, those incomparably ferocious bandits would not have fled at the sight of the wind.
These were all real achievements. Even if the high-level Li Qianyuan wanted to stop it, it was impossible to stop it. After all, the Supreme Military Officer's Office was not an existence that he could knead. It was a behemoth that specialized in managing senior officers above the general level.
This time, after being promoted to the first rank general, he had to go to the imperial capital to report.
This also meant that Chu Yunfan had already entered the ranks of high-ranking military officers. Any higher and he would be conferred the title of marquis.
However, this was also the most difficult step. There were millions of regular troops and second-line troops in the Great Xia Dynasty. There were many officers at the level of general, but there were still very few who could successfully become a marquis.
Currently, Li Qianyuan was the only one in the younger generation!
However, since he had reached this critical point, Chu Yunfan thought to himself that becoming a marquis was only a matter of time. At that time, he could be on equal footing with Li Qianyuan, and he would not be afraid of what conspiracies he had behind his back.
"It's been a whole year, staying here in Baotai City is almost going to rot. It's time to go out and take a walk!" Chu Yunfan said faintly. For him, going to the imperial capital was not only to report his work, but also to take this opportunity to see if he could get news of Tang Siyu.
"However, there is still a month before the report. Before going to the imperial capital, it's time to improve my cultivation to the fourth level of the Cosmos Realm!"
