"Today, there is Captain Ye Zhen of the Changle Princess Mansion, who has been loyal and brave in protecting his lord and safely escorting Princess Changle from a perilous place... The Emperor is very pleased, and specially promotes Ye Zhen to First-rank Viscount of North Sea, with the real fief of one county!"
This imperial decree not only left Ye Zhen utterly shocked but also made Gu Tieqi and Liuu Feng, who were standing beside him, round their eyes in disbelief. Especially Gu Kuang, his eyeballs almost turned red!
A First-rank Viscount! Gu Kuang had been toiling in the military camp for nearly a century. Although he had yet to fight on the Human Demon Battlefield, he had made numerous contributions. Up to this point, he had only earned the rank of Sea Suppression General, just two ranks higher than Ye Zhen's previous rank, and he was still far from becoming a baron, let alone a viscount.
