Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 786: Genoa (Part 1...
"Let's not mention this now. Let's talk about Titans. The return of Titans has brought profound consequences. The portal that had been closed was opened again, and it was opened permanently. Therefore, all creatures in the main plane are now
You will always be under the threat of evil chaos and will not stop fighting until death!"
The husky drank a glass of strong wine and howled: "That's all I know."
"Oh, by the way, the appearance of the orcs is also a good thing done by the Titans!"
The husky had eaten enough meat and drank enough wine. The ground was full of bones. It stretched out its fluffy paws and wiped its mouth casually:
"That's all I know, is there anything else you want to ask, kid?"
"That's it, then... Did the Titans leave any relics? The great Creator should have left some relics for me to admire, right?"

Goodwin seemed to have accepted Storm War God's answer, but he still looked a little curious.
"Speaking of ruins, there is one near this city. It is the compass used by the Titans to record time." The husky picked up the huge bull head and disappeared on the other side of the portal.
After hearing the news, Goodwin lowered his head, his eyes flashing with divine light. He respectfully bid farewell to the God of Storm War. The priests of the Church of the God of Storm War returned one after another and asked cautiously:
"Does my lord have any instructions?"
"He said I would be rewarded."
Several priests looked at each other, and the leading priest nodded. Then he took out a glass bottle under Goodwin's gaze, then went to a large bucket on the side and scooped a spoonful of white grease into it, and then sent it to
Goodwin's hands:
"Please, sir."
that's it?
Goodwin looked at the white grease in a small bottle with a twitching expression on his face. He didn't say a word, just nodded, and then left the Storm War God Temple.
No one noticed Goodwin's hidden expression and clasped hands.
Only one bottle of oil!
There is also a general history!
It is true that the Holy Oil of Storm War is a good helper for maintaining weapons, but it is not valuable. This small jar of oil can be purchased at any Temple of Storm War! One jar is priced at two Silver Sickles!!
Just give me this?
The words of the expedition knight Solomon rang in his mind again:
A Minotaur's head can be exchanged for a set of blessed knightly plate armor from our lady.
After many years of travel, Goodwin knew the "price" of these monster heads, and a jar of holy oil was really the cheapest gift.
This really made the knight feel a little depressed.
In any case, Goodwin had obtained the information he needed. He temporarily suppressed his unhappiness and walked out of the Church of the Storm God of War. The long period of vigilance and field travel made Goodwin feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Inside the Storm Fortress, he could finally relax his vigilance a little and enjoy his short leisure time.

But the top priority is to meet the Grand Duke of Gross.
Soon, Goodwin met Archduke Gros and provided extremely accurate information.
Therefore, in early February, the latest information from the northern Kansas grasslands was placed on the table of the Parliament of the Principality of Charles.
"A huge orc army is slowly gathering on the Kansas grassland, together with the gray dwarves from the far north. It seems that the orcs are ready for a full-scale war! The orc emperor Dranosh declared that he would launch a war
An unprecedented war!"
"The orcs' first target is most likely Storm Fortress!"
"The only good news we have is that this orc army is gathering very slowly, and we still have a lot of time to prepare for war," Archduke Gros said.
Facing the mainland's first pass, the Storm Fortress, the orc army has been defeated here many times over the past thousands of years. Therefore, the reason why the orc army is slow this time is precisely because they are waiting for the siege weapon made by the gray dwarves.
This process is relatively long, and it has to wait until the spring when the snow melts, so at this moment, Shire still has enough time to prepare.
"What's the use of preparing for war? We only have a regular army of over 100,000, but you all know the number and combat effectiveness of the orcs." Grand Duke Gros said in a deep voice.
Several senior officials and nobles of the Principality of Shire present nodded, and Archmage Seras Aylan continued: "We are about to face spring plowing, and it will be difficult for us to recruit a sufficient number of troops."

"We can't count on mercenaries at this juncture. They may not fight to the death for Storm Fortress." A viscount also said.
"The Shire has a sparse population, and the maintenance of more than 100,000 regular troops has reached its limit. It is impossible to recruit any more." The Chief of Internal Affairs of the Shire also said in response.
...
In fact, there was always a choice, but no one took the initiative to say it, but after all available options were eliminated, they knew that there was only one reliable choice left.
In the end, it was Grand Duke Gros who had to say this.
Grand Duke Charles sighed. He clasped his fingers together and leaned his elbows on the sandalwood table: "Request reinforcements from the Albrex Empire... Everyone, be prepared, our new leader
His Majesty’s asking price may not be low.”
"As of now, that's all." Archmage Seras Ellan also sighed.
After the decision was made, there was no need for a fast horse at all. A simple letter was transmitted by magic from the Storm Fortress directly to the Imperial Palace in Waldendorf in an instant.
But today, Emperor Carl-Franz Friedrich is not at the palace.
In the west of Waldendorf Territory, the Knights of Order are stationed.

Peter I, fully armed, walked on the frozen and hard forest land. The emperor breathed the fresh air and enjoyed a moment of tranquility.
After hearing Duke Otto's complaint, Peter I smiled and said: "My dear Duke, if you still have to dispatch the Knights of Order to eliminate the rebellion of several earls and viscounts, then why do you need me as the emperor?"
These words were heart-wrenching words. Duke Otto didn’t take it well. He could only laugh and said:
"That's natural. Those rebellious nobles are naturally no match for His Majesty."
When Peter I conquered the Duchy of Charles before, many nobles did not respond and refused to send troops.
After Peter I and Charles reached an agreement, he immediately led his army back to the imperial capital. After returning to the imperial capital, Peter I publicly declared that all nobles who refused to accept the conscription this time were rebels, and they would be demoted and transferred
The penalty was even complete confiscation of the fief.
Many nobles who were dissatisfied with Peter I's ascension made an outcry. In anger, they openly raised the flag of rebellion, declared their disobedience to Peter I's rule, and sought support from other nobles.
However, the result disappointed these rebellious nobles. Due to the strength and strategy displayed by Peter I, most of the nobles recognized the strength of Peter I.
Facing the calls for help from the rebellious nobles, these great nobles collectively remained silent and stood aside.
So Peter I led the army back to Wadendorf without disbanding the army at all. Taking advantage of the winter slack time, the soldiers could serve for a long time. Peter I directly led the army to quell the rebellion.

The rebel nobles who failed to respond were defeated, killed or captured. Peter I quickly resolved the rebellion with bloody means and stabilized his rule.
The fiefdoms of the rebellious nobles were directly confiscated. Peter I collected part of the territory for his own use to enrich the treasury, and the other part was distributed to the nobles and generals who responded actively to the war.
So everything was happy, except for the traitors who were suppressed and lost their lives and territories, but no one cared about their life and death, and everyone had a comfortable Winter Veil.
It can be seen that the new emperor's mental sophistication, ruthless methods and excellent talents are evident.
