Chapter 916 - 428: The death of Turing Tuo! Severing Zhi Li!_2
Earl Chu Ye entered Fenglei Castle and immediately knelt down on both knees, saying, "Your humble officer pays his respects to Princess and Lord Suo Lun!"
Suo Lun said with a smile, "Congratulations, Chu Ye, for defeating Turing Tuo."
Chu Ye immediately felt extremely ashamed and said, "It was Lord Suo Lun’s awe-inspiring power that defeated Turing Tuo’s army of eighty thousand. I, your humble servant, did not contribute even the slightest effort and am truly filled with shame!"
"No," Suo Lun said, "Even though the real battle had not yet begun, Turing Tuo’s army of eighty thousand had already surrendered. However, you were the supreme commander for the battle of Baiyun City, so the victory belongs to you."
Chu Ye prostrated himself to the ground and said, "Your humble servant is ashamed!"
Suo Lun said, "The Dragon Guard Legion is the kingdom’s premier force, a total army of four hundred thousand, now only a little over a hundred thousand remain. The reconstruction of the Dragon Guard Legion will now be handed over to you, and you shall assume the position of the new Commander of the Dragon Guard Legion."
Upon hearing these words, Chu Ye could hardly believe his own ears.
Defeating Turing Tuo really seemed to have nothing to do with him at all. With Suo Lun’s cannons’ roar and the explosion of gunpowder, the eighty thousand defenders inside Baiyun County had surrendered.
Even if Chu Ye had the thickest skin, he wouldn’t dare to claim this merit for himself. Oh, that’s not right!
He had such shamelessness, but this was Suo Lun’s achievement, and even with the courage of a bear and a leopard, he would not dare to vie with Suo Lun for the credit.
Now that Suo Lun was appointing him as the Commander of the Dragon Guard Legion, he was so excited that he could not utter a single word.
