1722 Reorganizing the Garrison
This was a small border city, with faint traces of battle on the city walls. There were even some ancient bloodstains that had been left behind from an unknown era. They had not completely dried up until now, and the power in the blood had not dissipated. They were clearly left behind by many experts.
On this day, a group of people on drakehorses arrived in this small border city. The leader was wearing a moon-white martial arts suit and looked clean and neat. It was Chu Yunfan and his group.
‘So this is Baotai City. There are about 200,000 people in Baotai. Including the villages and towns under its jurisdiction, there are about 300,000.’ Chu Yunfan recalled some information about Baotai.
Among the many border cities, Baotai was not the largest, but it was the most special. Due to its geographical location, it faced the front line of the monsters in the early years. The north faced the territory of the Hu tribe, and the south was the barbarians. It could be said to be the intersection of the four forces. Although they were no longer at the front line, it was still chaotic because of the various forces.
Just by looking at the city wall, one could tell that it had not been repaired for many years. The enchantments and arrays on the city wall were full of loopholes. It was unknown whether it was because the higher-ups had not allocated funds to repair them over the years or because they had been annexed. After all, the previous lieutenant colonels had all died for unknown reasons. Many things were still in the fog.
‘No matter what, this is the starting point of my power in Grand Xia. Baotai is mine.’ Chu Yunfan gazed at the huge city in front of him and felt a sense of pride rise in his heart.
Although Li Qianyuan was the reason why he was transferred to Baotai, Li Qianyuan probably didn’t expect that Chu Yunfan wouldn’t be afraid. On the contrary, he wanted to take this opportunity to do something big.
“Who goes there?” Chu Yunfan and the others were stopped by the soldiers guarding the city at the city gates.
“How dare you. Are you blind? This is the new lieutenant colonel. Where’s your captain? Tell them to come and welcome your new leader!”
Before Chu Yunfan could speak, You Chuyun stepped forward and berated the guard. When the guards heard this, they were instantly shocked. The lieutenant colonel was their immediate superior and the true master of the entire city. Especially in a border city like this, the lieutenant colonel was usually the most powerful person in the city.
Soon, a plump middle-aged man ran over. When he saw Chu Yunfan, he bowed and said, “Welcome, Colonel. My name is Chen Tai.”
Chu Yunfan glanced at the plump middle-aged man and frowned slightly. This was a mess. Although Baotai was not on the front line and the troops stationed there were also second-line garrison troops, they did not look like soldiers in the least.
Although it was Chu Yunfan’s first time joining the army in Grand Xia, he was once a high-ranking officer in the human army of the Federation. He had seen all kinds of situations. With one look, he knew that something was wrong with this army.
However, he restrained himself and said, “Where is the garrison of Baotai? Take me there.”
“Yes, sir,” Chen Tai responded.
Although he looked respectful, he had little hope for Chu Yunfan. Although the lieutenant colonel was their immediate superior, so what? The previous lieutenant colonel had died for no reason. This was probably no exception. They always did as they pleased.
He thought that he had concealed it well, but how could he hide it from Chu Yunfan? It was just that Chu Yunfan was too lazy to say anything right now.
With Chen Tai leading the way, Chu Yunfan came to a huge military camp in the east of the city. The camp had not been renovated for some time and looked quite old. Chu Yunfan was not met with any obstruction as the entered the camp. It could accommodate thousands of people, but it looked a little empty at the moment.
Along the way, he spotted some soldiers who were bent over and looked like they lacked training. Not only Chu Yunfan but You Chuyun and the others also frowned. They had not expected this place to be so dilapidated. Even second-line troops should not be in such bad shape.
Suddenly, there was a clamor and a few soldiers swaying toward them. Chu Yunfan noticed that these people were holding bottles of beer in their hands, looking as if they had just returned from drinking.
“Hahaha, that little girl from the Emerald Red Inn is the best!” The soldier who looked like the leader of the group laughed. “I’ll bring you guys to taste her next time!”
“What a foul atmosphere!” Chu Yunfan sneered.
The sharp aura that Chu Yunfan emitted shocked Chen Tai, who quickly lowered his head. Although he was not optimistic about Chu Yunfan’s future, one person wouldn’t be transferred to be a lieutenant colonel without a deep background. He could not afford to offend Chu Yunfan.
“Men, hang these drunkards up and sober them up!” Chu Yunfan shouted.
You Chuyun and the others couldn’t hold it in any longer and flew out.
“What are you doing?! Do you know who I am?!”
The drunk soldiers started screaming. However, they were not even Golden Cores. How could they stop You Chuyun and the others who were like wolves and tigers?
You Chuyun and the others were previously beaten up by the black-clothed bandits and were filled with anger. They could not deal with those bandits, but they could handle these military ruffians. In just a moment, they had tied up these ruffians and hung them on the flagpole like a bunch of grasshoppers.
“Colonel, you can’t do this. That man is the brother-in-law of Deputy Colonel Ding Cheng!” Chen Tai’s face turned pale. He was even more afraid of this man than he was of Chu Yunfan. It was clear that Ding Cheng had accumulated a lot of power.
“I’m the lieutenant colonel of this camp. A mere deputy colonel can’t overturn the sky,” Chu Yunfan said, “This is a good thing. He hasn’t come to greet me, and I don’t believe that he won’t appear now.”
Chu Yunfan had been here for a long time, but none of the officers in the camp had come to pay their respects.
“Beat the drum and have everyone gather. Those above the rank of corporal are to report to the colonel’s office. Those who don’t make it within the time of one incense stick will be dismissed.”
Chu Yunfan passed down the order and strode into his office. This military camp had long been a place for evil to hide. It was impossible to deal with it without being ruthless.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The urgent drumbeats spread throughout the entire camp, causing a commotion. Everyone looked in the direction of the colonel’s office in puzzlement, wondering who dared to beat the drum to summon everyone.
