Chapter 1017

In the blink of an eye, Su Fan and his party have been in Nanjun for more than ten years. During these ten years, Su Fan has not left Nanjun for a single step. During these ten years, the rebel army outside Nanjun naturally could not remain still.

During these ten years, the rebel army also attacked several times.

But unfortunately, this time, because Nanjun's Wang Jian also had a helper like Gai Nie, he did not fear the dozen or so Golden Immortals.

The dozen or so Golden Immortals that appeared in the rebel army seemed to have been artificially and suddenly elevated; although their cultivation reached the Golden Immortal realm, compared to those veteran cultivators, they were clearly much worse.

And Wang Jian and Gai Nie themselves were not ordinary cultivators.

Wang Jian was a powerhouse at the level of martial arts golden body, practicing ancient martial arts, refining the ancient fire dove and spirit, and his golden body was invincible; originally, facing a dozen Golden Immortals, he was only at a disadvantage.

Now that there was Gai Nie, a sword immortal with combat power comparable to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, one could imagine that the two of them joined forces and even beheaded two Golden Immortals.

As for the million-strong rebel army commanded by Xiang Yu, although there were hundreds of thousands of elite troops because of these years.

But Wang Ben had two million crack Great Qin soldiers under his command.

Great Qin's foundation was much larger than the rebel army's; if the rebel army's elite troops died, it would take a very long time to re-temper them.

But Great Qin was different; Great Qin Empire's standing legions numbered fully ten million.

The commoners of the Great Qin Empire all had to serve; during their service, they needed to temper themselves, and after tempering, those with good talent would continue to "deep study," and the formidable ones would be promoted to combat soldiers.

Combat soldiers were equivalent to the elite of the Great Qin army, but only after experiencing blood and fire would they become true elite soldiers.

So Great Qin was different from the rebel army.

Great Qin's elite troops could be continuous; even if some new combat soldiers had not experienced the flames of war and were much worse than veteran elite soldiers, as long as they experienced a few battles, they would quickly become elite soldiers.

And in Nanjun, behind the huge city, in terms of strategy, Wang Ben's great army belonged to the defensive side, so they occupied the advantage; after a few great battles, these new soldiers quickly became the elite of Nanjun.

Compared to the rebel army, Great Qin always occupied a powerful advantage.

Although the rebel army commander Xiang Yu was a top-tier famous general, his ability to command troops was not inferior to his father Wang Jian's, and in some aspects, he was even stronger than his father.

But fortunately, he commanded a million-strong army, which was enough to block the other side's military edge.

And this time, Wang Ben had fully thirty thousand archers in his hands, and they were using rune powerful bows.

The power far exceeded that of the past.

Wang Ben also gave the rebel army a heavy blow at a critical moment; in that battle, fully nearly one hundred thousand of the rebel army's elite troops were shot to death.

Since then, the rebel army has also quieted down.

After all, losing nearly one hundred thousand elite troops, for the rebel army, can actually be considered a serious injury to their vitality.

One must know that the rebel army was only two or three million, and the elite troops were less than five hundred thousand; losing one-fifth of their elite troops at once, one can imagine.

If it weren't for Xiang Yu's extremely strong command of troops, I'm afraid the great army would have collapsed.

Even so, the morale of the rebel army also declined to the extreme.

Nanjun had at least a dozen years of peace ahead.

Nanjun's archer corps was also completely formed.

"Haha! Satisfying!"

"This time, many thanks to you, Sir; if it weren't for your rune weapons, we wouldn't have been able to cause such great casualties to the rebel army."

"Nanjun will have decades of peace ahead; Sir is righteous."

At the celebration banquet in Nanjun, Wang Jian thanked Su Fan again.

Everyone else present was the same.

This time, being able to deal such a heavy blow to the rebel army was clearly due to that rune archer corps; during these ten years, the Nanjun craftsman institute expanded again, so Nanjun's great army's archer corps could erupt with such great divine power.

The bows and arrows required for a thirty-thousand-strong legion could not be easily built.

Without the craftsman institute, even if there were more archers, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Su Fan knew this point, so he just smiled and said: "General Wang Jian, if you want to thank someone, you should also thank those master craftsmen; if it weren't for their hard work day and night to build so many rune powerful bows, even if I brought out the rune technique, it would be of no use."

"The great army's victory over the rebel army is their greatest merit."

"Naturally, this old man has already reported their merits to Xianyang City, and I believe that after this time, these people will at least be promoted by one level in title."

Great Qin's titles are not just for the army; in fact, as long as you are in Great Qin and do things beneficial to Great Qin.

You have the opportunity to obtain Great Qin's titles; civil officials have them, and craftsmen naturally have them too.

Being promoted by one level in title is absolutely a good thing for many craftsmen, especially for low-level craftsmen; a first-level title can allow their families to live better in the future.

After all, for the first level, at least you can get a reward of a hundred mu of land from the Empire, and once the title reaches Bu Geng, and then is promoted, for those at the bottom, it is really very difficult.

Because above Bu Geng is Da Fu; this is already the Da Fu class, which can be said to have crossed a class.

The first four titles, although they are titles, are not very high in status, and in Great Qin, they are at most low-level officials in the villages.

But once you reach Da Fu, even if you are a craftsman, you have a great chance to become an official, the lowest being a village elder, or some low-level official in the county.

And there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

So for many families, especially small landlords at the county and village level, they value this class very much.

Most small landlords are of low titles, and many have obtained quite a few titles by fighting in the army, and then the Empire rewarded them with land.

Generation after generation, most are below Bu Geng, and after a few generations, the family also has hundreds or thousands of mu of land.

Placed in the locality, they are small landlords.

And for the craftsmen of the craftsman institute, wanting to obtain titles is clearly much more difficult than in the army.

Unless it is those like Nan Sun who have cultivation, their status is far higher than ordinary master craftsmen because of their cultivation.

Just like Nan Sun, who descended from the Daoist School and joined the Empire, the lowest title was Bu Geng, and now he is already a Da Fu; if this title is promoted by one more level, his future in Nanjun will certainly not be low.

And more importantly, the cultivation resources rewarded by the Empire are what Nan Sun and the others value even more; they cultivate the Dao, and the resources they need, without a great force, relying solely on themselves, are even more difficult than those loose cultivators in the Southern Continent.

This is also the reason why they are willing to enter Great Qin; backed by the government, as long as they can work for the government, the resources bestowed by the government are very helpful to them.

So after hearing Wang Jian's words, Nan Sun and the others who entered the celebration banquet had smiles that became even more brilliant.
