Durut's words immediately made Jiang Feng realize the gravest problem.
Durut, who had come out of the clan, had ultimately run into the enemy he least wished to face—an old acquaintance from the clan.
Jiang Feng now understood why the scout had not taken the initiative to name the enemy commander.
Coming back to his senses, Durut said:
"Rest assured, Chieftain. No matter who the enemy commander is, I will fulfill my duty."
Jiang Feng nodded. "Rest assured, General. I will never doubt your loyalty to the tribe."
Durut gave Jiang Feng a grateful look, then said softly:
"Chieftain, I have an unreasonable request. I hope you can grant it."
Jiang Feng replied readily, "Speak, General. So long as it is reasonable, I will not refuse."
Durut nodded. "To be honest, the commander of the clan army this time is my benefactor and master after I ascended to the Divine Realm. His name is Yuan Zong."
"I am where I am today entirely because of Master Yuan Zong's teachings."
"Master was upright and incorruptible throughout his life. Yet it was precisely because of that integrity, because he cared too deeply for the collective good, that he handed over the opportunity that could have changed his fate, fulfilling Qiang Changfeng instead."
"Now that Master is personally leading the expedition, the clan army's defeat is already set in stone. I only ask that, when the time comes, Chieftain give Master a chance."
"Let me personally persuade Master to surrender."
Jiang Feng was deeply moved. It was clear that Durut cared greatly for this master of his. This also proved that Durut was truly a man who fulfilled both righteousness and filial devotion.
Someone who commanded such respect and admiration from Durut must surely be as upright and incorruptible as Durut claimed Yuan
