986 Lieque Surrenders (2/2)

Zong Shou laughed, in terms of Great Gan generals they actually had a number of them.

As for commander talents, there was Kong Yao and Zhuang Yu who were army god-level people. Qiu Wei was a smart General and could lead a region on his own.

Zong Yuan and Ren Tianxing were all Unparalleled Famous Generals who could lead the charge.

People like Hu Zhongyuan and Chai Zhou would be amazing if they grew up.

However, most of them were all used in the Cloud World.

In Yuanlian World, Great Gan could only take out Zhuang Yu as well as Kui Xuan who surrendered some time ago.

As this concerned his past ruler, Zong Shou didn't dare to give Kui Xuan much responsibility. Even not long ago, Zhuang Yu who was struggling on his own also didn't suggest letting this person hold power.

This person wasn't an Unparalleled General Talent, but in terms of decisiveness on the battlefield he was just a little weaker than Zhuang Yu.

After this battle, he would be able to be at ease using him.

However, the number of passable generals he had with him was still low.

If Lieque was really willing to serve him, then it would be a huge surprise.

This person was different from Zong Yuan and the others, he had potential and didn't truly grow up.

As a God Realm Cultivator, he had spent 1,000 years in the outer region and definitely went through many battles.

His understanding of the outer region wasn't something that Zong Yuan and Zhuang Yu could compare to and it even exceeded Zong Shou.

Once he surrendered, he would instantly become a usable top general.

He felt huge delight deep down, but he was still expressionless and didn't show it.

”I heard that Liu Muchen spent a full seven years recruiting you. Even as a Ruler, he placed down his status and used all sorts of methods to invite you. However, today you decided to join me in such a straightforward manner, don't you think you have let him down?”

”A good bird chooses a good tree that isn't exposed to the sun. If Liu Muchen was a smart Ruler, why did it take him seven years. I had no choice and was forced to serve Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty. The so called methods, apart from being polite to me, he forced me with his strength and held my loved ones hostage.”

That Lieque said expressionlessly. He could see the unhappiness slowly appearing in Zong Shou's eyes but he didn't stop.

To betray his old ruler without any hesitation and even talk badly about him, any Ruler wouldn't like that.

However, he was like that all along, he didn't like Liu Muchen, so he didn't need to purposely try to hide it, to speak for his old Ruler.

There were somethings that would be found out with a quick investigation.

”Today, I have fought for Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty until the end and have gone all out, my conscience is clear. I can't die together with them just because of a small bit of kindness? Ruler's Great Gan is slowly becoming stronger, like a sun rising up into the sky. If I can join you, I will finally join a good side…”

Zong Shou hesitated. Before this, when he heard that this person wanted to surrender, he was extremely delighted. Now that he heard his words, he was filled with hesitation.

If he could treat his ex ruler like that, then what about Zong Shou?

Lieque seemed to have sensed something, his expression slightly dimming as he said, ”I know that if I don't surrender, either I am going to be locked up for the rest of my life or I will die being tortured. I don't want either and so I would like to surrender. Since that is the case, then why do I have to be indirect?”

He also said, ”I can't ensure to be totally loyal to you all the way, but I will do whatever you task and be of help to you, doing everything that I can.”

Zong Shou's brow rose up and then he broke into a smile. Doing everything that he can? Actually that alone was enough.

To make this person totally loyal to him was impractical.

In his heart, a decision was made and Zong Shou didn't hesitate anymore.

”With General Lie joining us, Great Gan's strength will be able to climb a level higher. How about General Lie will temporarily be the Right Army Military Governor?”

Great Gan was split into front back, left, right, and middle troops, and each one had an Inspector as the main general.

A Military Governor was just lower than that of Inspector. After Zhuang Yu joined, he had taken this role before.

Lieque was different from others and had proven himself on the battlefield; he was a general who everyone respected.

This was why even if he was directly appointed to Inspector, there would be no one who objected.

However, Zong Shou wanted to see what kind of person he was and if he could take up responsibility.

Lieque didn't hesitate, bowing, and accepting the order, ”Subject is grateful, I won't let Ruler down.”

At this moment, Zong Shou still had many other matters that he had to deal with.

He had to take over the various countries in Yuanlian World and also prepare the army to continue to conquer the surrounding worlds.

He also needed to split some of his troops to conquer the territories of the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty.

There were thousands of things he had to do, he was so busy that he wished he could split himself into two.

Less than 15 minutes after meeting Lieque, before he could even have a deep conversation, Zong Shou had to send this new Right Army Military Governor away.

However, before this, he heard Lieque remind him, ”I heard that your Navy Commander captured the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty Navy Governor, Yi Lingsu? This person is skilled and if it possible, Ruler should try to make him surrender.”

Zong Shou was stunned. He had seen the skill of that governor.

He was not as overpowered as Shi Ruolan, but he was not bad. Based on his experience, he was able to compete with Shi Ruolan.

He was even able to command such that the Great Gan ships were unable to return fire.

However, Lieque seemed to be asking him to spend effort to specially ask him to surrender?

Why was there such a need to do so?

After which Lieque said, ”This person is from a Spiritual Blacksmith Aristocratic Family and his family holds power in the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty. The Spiritual Blacksmiths crafting the Cold Crystal Shadow Blade Ships are all in his control. As he joined the army long ago, his reputation and power are huge. He would be able to pull over 10 of the remaining 50 ships from the Nine Capital Celestial Dynasty!”
