The 80,000 strong army of White Cloud County had completely collapsed and surrendered before the battle even started. This destroyed Duke Turingtuo's last hope.
In the Wind Thunder Fortress, Turin Tuo, who had a strong back and knees, knelt respectfully in front of Søren.
"Sir Søren, please give the Turin Family a way out," Duke Turin Tuo kowtowed.
Søren asked, "What way?"
Turin Tuo said, "Fen Mo is my illegitimate son. I am willing to let him return to the family and inherit the Turin Family."
Søren waved his hand and asked, "Fen Mo, are you willing?"
Fen Mo did not kneel and shook his head, "I am not willing. It is good for me to follow my mother's surname. Who knows, I might even be able to establish a Fen Family."
Søren said, "Then you should at least get married and have children first. Don't keep your eyes on my wife."
Fen Mo said, "I have stopped my eyes a long time ago. It is just that it is difficult to find a suitable woman."
Søren said to Turin Tuo, "You heard it too. He is not willing."
He looked at Fen Mo and saw that the other party was calm and emotionless.
Turin Tuo painfully lowered his head and said, "I am willing to serve Sir Søren in exchange for your forgiveness."
Søren shook his head, "No!"
Turin Tuo said again, "I am willing to resign from all my positions and retire at home. I will let my son Tu Ningchen inherit the title and enter the Dragon Guards!"
Søren shook his head, "No."
Turin Tuo roared, "Why? Although I have wronged you, Gui Xingfu has treated you worse. You can tolerate him, why can't you tolerate me? "
Soran said, "You regarded the kingdom's army as a private weapon, corrupted the military's atmosphere, and led the kingdom to a dead end of warlordism. I don't know how long it will take to correct it. This is the reason why you are unforgivable. Gui Xingfu is cunning but he is not as greedy as you! "
Turin Tuo said, "Then what do you want me to do? Will you let the Turin Family go? "
"Go to hell!" Søren said.
When he said these three words, his tone was very calm, but it made Tuling Tuo's body shake.
Søren said, "You are the biggest mountain in the army. If you are alive, many generals in the future will involuntarily gather around you when they are unhappy. I can't go on a killing spree. If you die, this mountain will be gone, and I won't have to kill too many people in the future. "
Turin Tuo's face twitched as he said, "Your Excellency Søren, you, are you really going to be so ruthless?"
Søren said, "You're the only one who died. That's already very lenient."
Turingtuo asked, "What if I don't die?"
Søren said, "If that's the case, I'll start a great war and kill every last member of the Turing family! In short, the nationalization of the army must be completed, and no one could stop it. The kingdom's army must not fall into the hands of any private party. "
Turin Tuo sneered, "What about you? You have more than two hundred thousand soldiers in your hands now. They are all your private army, Søren's! "
Søren said indifferently, "After I completely integrate the Raging Wave Kingdom, only thirty thousand vassal troops will be left in Tianshui City. As the prince regent, I will only leave the rock bandits as my personal guards. The rest of the troops will be handed over to the kingdom, and I will keep my word. "
Turingtuo said, "What about my Turing family?"
Søren said, "You have committed a great crime, so your Duke title will be demoted to Earl, and it will no longer be hereditary. If you want to revive the glory of the Turing family, then come and start again. I am willing to give you a chance. "
Turingtuo's heart was in so much pain that he almost suffocated.
Sauron's conditions were really harsh to the extreme. It was tantamount to cutting off the future of the Turing family. He had only managed to preserve his life and a shaky title of nobility. He had nothing else.
The Turing family suddenly fell from the top nobles of the kingdom to the bottom nobles.
There were many nobles like this in the capital. Some of them owed gambling debts and were beaten every day. They were completely impoverished.
But what could they do if they didn't agree?
Kill people and fight to the death with Søren?
Turingtuo's martial arts were very powerful, but he was stronger than Princess Jung Yeon. Not to mention, there was still Zhuang Zhixuan behind Søren.
He had no bargaining chips in his hands. The remaining eighty thousand soldiers had completely collapsed and surrendered to Søren.
Søren said, "I won't force you. You decide everything yourself. But I will prepare two decrees. One is that the Turing family is guilty of treason, and the nine generations of their family will be executed. The other is that the Turing family was bewitched by Zhi Li and made a big mistake. Turingtuo will be stripped of all his duties and demoted from Duke to Earl. The family title will no longer be hereditary. Before dawn, I will send someone to announce the decree. You decide what to do! "
Then, Søren let Turingtuo leave just like that.
Turingtuo seemed to have aged ten years. He walked out like a walking corpse and bumped into Chu Ye.
On the contrary, Chu Ye seemed to be ten years younger. He was glowing and full of pride and excitement. He looked like he was floating as he walked.
But after seeing Turingtuo, Chu Ye didn't mock him. Instead, he retreated to the side and made way for him.
Turingtuo wanted to mock him but found that he couldn't say anything. He wanted to say that Chu Ye would be killed, but after some thought, he couldn't say it.
Just like that, Turingtuo sighed and rode his warhorse back to White Cloud County City!
…
Chu Ye entered the Wind Thunder Castle and immediately knelt down. "Greetings, Your Highness, greetings, Sir Søren!"
Søren smiled and said, "Congratulations, Chu Ye. You defeated Turingtuo."
Chu Ye was immediately ashamed. "It was Sir Søren's heavenly might that defeated Turingtuo's eighty thousand soldiers. I didn't do anything. I'm really ashamed! "
"No." Sauron said: "Although the real battle hasn't started, Turin Tuo's 80,000 troops have already surrendered. But you were the supreme commander of the battle at White Cloud City, so you won the battle. "
Chu Ye kowtowed and said, "I'm ashamed!"
Søren said, "The Dragon Guard Corps is the kingdom's main force. It had a total of four hundred thousand soldiers, but now there are only a hundred thousand left. I'll leave the rebuilding of the Dragon Guard Corps to you. You will be the new Dragon Guard Corps Commander. "
Chu Ye couldn't believe his ears when he heard this.
Defeating Turingtuo really didn't seem to have anything to do with him. Søren's cannons and gunpowder exploded, and the eighty thousand soldiers in White Cloud County City surrendered.
No matter how thick-skinned Chu Ye was, he wouldn't dare to take the credit for himself. Oh, no!
He was thick-skinned, but it was Søren's credit. He wouldn't dare to fight Søren for the credit even if he ate a bear's heart or a leopard's gall.
Now, Søren actually wanted him to be the Dragon Guard Corps Commander. This made him so excited that he couldn't say anything.
Søren continued, "Next, the Dragon Guard Corps will be expanded to four hundred thousand soldiers. I'll leave this to you. After you finish rebuilding the Dragon Guard Corps, you'll enter the Commander-in-Chief and become the first marshal. "
Chu Ye's heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Søren promised him that if he defeated Turingtuo, he would replace him. He always felt that Søren was tricking him. He definitely wanted both him and Turingtuo to be injured so that Søren could reap the benefits.
He didn't expect Søren to fulfill his promise. Plus, he wasn't the one who defeated Turingtuo.
"However, I'll say this first," Søren said, "The first marshal of the Commander-in-Chief can't be the Dragon Guard Corps Commander. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I want the army to be like a kingdom. It won't be anyone's private army," Chu Ye said.
"Gui Xingfu taught you that?" Søren smiled.
Chu Ye nodded embarrassedly. He was different from Turingtuo. What he wanted was glory and wealth. He didn't have much ambition. Previously, he held on to the army tightly because the Raging Wave Kingdom wasn't normal. The army in his hands was the foundation of glory and wealth. Now that Søren was going to set things right, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to become a stumbling block for Søren.
Plus, Søren had already placed the wealth and wealth in front of him. What was there for him to hesitate about?
Søren said, "Lord Yan Yan is the Silver Wolf Guard Corps Commander. I plan to let him replace you as the Northern Guard Corps Commander. Do you have any objections?"
"That's great." Chu Ye said, "Although I've only met Lord Yan Yan once, I was immediately convinced by his elegance on the battlefield today. I've heard of Wolf King Yan Yan's reputation for over ten years. If I let him control the Northern Guard Corps, he'll definitely be a hundred times more outstanding than me! "
Søren smiled and said, "You've really become enlightened."
Count Chu Ye said, "I wasn't enlightened in the past because I didn't understand My Lord. Now that I understand your good intentions, I'll be hopeless if I still don't become enlightened."
Søren said to Jung Yeon, "Chu Ye's title of nobility is still too low. I'll have to raise it in the future!"
Princess Jung Yeon said, "If my husband says to raise it, then raise it."
Chu Ye was even more excited. He really didn't expect that he would become one of the biggest winners in this war.
Immediately, he couldn't help but feel grateful to that idiot Jian Ze. If it weren't for his stupidity, how could Chu Ye have obtained so many benefits?
…
Duke Turingtuo returned to the White Cloud County Mayor's Office in a daze.
Then, he discovered that there seemed to be fewer people in the White Cloud County Mayor's Office. Many familiar faces had disappeared.
"Where are the family warriors?" Turingtuo asked.
Tu Ningchen said, "They ran away. When they saw that the Turingtuo Family's tree was about to fall, most of them ran away."
Duke Turingtuo closed his eyes in pain. When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!
The Turingtuo Family's foundation was still too shallow. They were too nouveau riche. These family warriors had pledged their loyalty to the Turingtuo Family halfway through. But when the time came, they all ran away.
Looking at Luanyang City and the Suo Clan in Tianshui City, even at the last moment, these family warriors didn't abandon them. This was because they had been loyal to His Majesty for generations.
Then, Turingtuo discovered that there was something wrong with Tu Ningchen's expression, as if he couldn't hide his excitement.
"Father, let's talk inside," Tu Ningchen said.
Then, the two entered the Mayor's Office's secret study.
"Father, what did Søren say?" Tu Ningchen asked.
Duke Turingtuo said, "He wants me to commit suicide. The Turingtuo Family will lose all their power and be demoted to a count. The title will no longer be hereditary."
"He's going too far!" Tu Ningchen said angrily, "Søren is going too far. He wants the Turingtuo Family to fall from a top noble family to a poor one!"
"We are meat on the chopping block!" Duke Turingtuo sighed, "What can we do?"
Tu Ningchen said, "Even a rabbit will bite when it's cornered, let alone us. We might not have been able to do anything to Søren before, but it's different now. This is a secret letter from King City's Flying Hawk! "
Tu Ningchen's eyes were mysterious and his expression was excited. He handed a secret letter to Turingtuo.
Duke Turingtuo took a look and was shocked!
This secret letter was written in the name of Prime Minister Yan Wuji, but it was in Zhi Li's handwriting.
In the secret letter, Yan Wuji said that the King had passed away, but the funeral was kept a secret. Last night, Søren created the illusion that the King was assassinated and framed His Highness Zhi Li. Yan Wuji and the officials of King City were furious. They exposed Søren's ugly face. They said that the country could not be without a ruler. Yan Wuji led the officials to invite His Highness Zhi Li to return to King City and ascend the throne!
At the end of the secret letter, Prime Minister Yan Wuji invited Duke Turingtuo to return to King City as soon as possible to persuade His Highness Zhi Li to ascend the throne. From then on, Turingtuo and Yan Wuji, one military and one civil, would assist the new King and become the pillars of the Raging Wave Kingdom!
Following that, Tu Ningchen took out another secret letter from Flying Hawk. It was written by Tu Lingduo.
The content of this letter was much simpler. It said that Søren's son was in Zhi Li's hands. No matter what Zhi Li did, Søren wouldn't dare to act rashly. The King was dead, and His Highness Zhi Li was about to ascend the throne. Turingtuo invited his father, Duke Turingtuo, to return to King City as soon as possible to participate in this grand event. The Turingtuo family's wealth and prosperity would last forever!
From this secret letter, Duke Turingtuo could tell at a glance that Feng Li, who was at the end of his rope, had gone crazy to assassinate the king and forcibly ascend the throne!
Tu Ningchen sneered. "We supported Søren and were willing to negotiate with him. In the end, he rejected our kind offer and turned down our good intentions. Now, we will support His Highness Zhi Li to ascend the throne and continue to fight against Søren. I want to see who will emerge victorious. When the time comes, it will be too late for regrets! "
Duke Turingtuo said, "You want to return to King City? To attend Zhi Li's ascension ceremony? "
"Of course!" Tu Ningchen said, "Søren is too short-sighted and forced us into a dead end!"
Duke Turingtuo said, "If the heavens wish to destroy a man, they will first make him mad! Zhi Li and Tu Lingduo have already become a pair of complete lunatics, and you still want to associate yourself with them? You want the entire Turingtuo family to die without a grave! "
"Father …" Tu Ningchen said hoarsely, "But on Søren's side, we have no way out. Why not take a gamble? Take a gamble? "
Turingtuo said, "At least all of you are still alive, and you even have a title. As long as you are alive, there will always be hope! Tu Ningchen, I hope you remember to draw a clear line between you and those two lunatics, Zhi Li and Tu Lingduo. If not, I will not rest in peace! "
Hearing this, Tu Ningchen's body trembled!
That night, Duke Turingtuo committed suicide by poison!
An ambitious and ruthless person fell just like that!
At the same time, Prime Minister Yan Wuji rode a griffin to the southern border city to request for Zhi Li to return to King City and ascend the throne!
