Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 763 Dilemma (Part 1)
A week later, the capital of the Albrex Empire, the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Peter I, who had just recovered from a stomach ailment, was correcting documents in his study again. He had been used to it for several years.
Although the emperor usually prefers to stay with his troops, some good news that came recently made the emperor feel much better.
The first is that after experiencing this great invasion of orcs, the empire's economy showed signs of prosperity.
The second point is that society has become active again, especially after a large number of military nobles died in battle, many territories and titles were left vacant, and once again, channels for class advancement were opened.
For the conservative and resource-scarce north of the Albrex Empire, the class one was born into was generally destined to be a person of that class for life, and civilians rarely had the opportunity to move around.

However, the military nobles suffered huge losses in this orc invasion. Therefore, a large number of free civilian soldiers and many middle-level and grass-roots soldiers really got the opportunity to rise this time. As long as they fought bravely, they were basically promoted.
This makes many people satisfied.
Knights were promoted to barons, great swordsmen were promoted to knights, and many soldiers from the regular and provincial armies who fought bravely were promoted to great swordsmen who could live in luxurious military camps and receive double pay.
The third point is naturally the Galt Solland. This has been mentioned before and will not be repeated here. The emperor looked at the financial statements and was satisfied to see that the cash flow from the Solland helped him fill the huge gap.
There was a financial deficit, otherwise Peter I would have almost declared bankruptcy.
At this moment, Metternich, the diplomat of Emperor Peter I, knocked on the door: "Your Majesty?"
"Please come in." Emperor Peter I put down the documents and said with a smile:
"Is it Metternich? I hope you brought me good news."
"Your Majesty, the civil strife in the Shire has been completely quelled. Grand Duke Fiona has completely quelled the civil strife without shedding a drop of blood or injuring a single person."
Metternich bowed to the emperor: "Since then, all nobles have announced their support for Archduke Fiona's reforms, and the implementation of the governor-general system has become inevitable."
"She really is. This girl, I underestimated her. It seems that she is a more difficult person to deal with than Grand Duke Gros."
Peter I shrugged, the emperor's mouth was full of envy, governorship?

He never dreamed that now he could rely on the invasion of orcs, and when the nobles were weak, they could build up a large army of guards in one go, and let the guards build Rick castles in key places in other provinces and expand their influence. The emperor had already

"But I already know these things, Metternich, is there any new news?"
"some."
Metternich took out a roll of parchment:
"A new decree canceling the privileges of the nobility has also been issued. All families that have not produced a knight within three generations will be deprived of their nobility titles. But our Grand Duchess is also on the right path. Not only these people, but also those who committed crimes in the rebellion this time
She has justly and kindly given the knight families who committed serious crimes a chance to make up for their mistakes."
"What chance?" Emperor Peter I took the parchment.
"With the opportunity of the atonement expedition, knights and nobles who have been deprived of their knighthoods and have made mistakes can choose a place in the northern grasslands, Arabi Desert, and China to conduct an expedition for at least three years."
Metternich had a weird expression: "This is Archduke Fiona's speech in Storm Fortress, "Get on the boat, follow the waves!" to inspire these knights who are about to go on the atonement expedition."
"Let me see." Emperor Peter I began to read.
"Those who keep saying that the Holy Grail is getting harder and harder to obtain should look at you, just like me."

"Well done!"
"A good job should be rewarded!"
Emperor Peter I is still as unassuming as ever. Many people will have a strange feeling after meeting the emperor in the palace of Boudendorf:
That is, Peter I never had any airs.
However, as a great imperialist and imperial supremacist, Metternich believed that Peter I was the best and most suitable emperor for the Ablix Empire.
Because of the outstanding abilities of Emperor Peter I, it goes without saying that although Peter I's abilities may not be called the best in the mainland, they are certainly much stronger than the monarchs of the two southern empires.
Seeing Emperor Peter I laughing repeatedly, Metternich said nothing and waited quietly for Peter I to finish laughing.
Who knew that Emperor Peter I was smiling, and the more he smiled, the more bitter he became, and the more he laughed, the dryer he became. Peter I almost pushed all the documents in front of him when he laughed. The emperor closed his eyes and endured his anger:
"I think I will also arrange an expedition to let all the incompetent nobles die. This will not only free up enough land, manors, and noble titles, but also select those who are truly useful from the corrupt nobles. I think
Isn’t it true that Wadendorf’s leadership here can’t raise an expeditionary force of 20,000 men?”
"It is understandable that His Majesty is joking, but it must not be done."

Metternich immediately denied: "This will make His Majesty lose the support of the nobles."
"That girl Fiona can do it, why can't I?!"
Emperor Peter I angrily took the towel from the table and wiped it twice randomly:
"You know clearly, Metternich, that there are many problems among our nobles. I should let those greedy guys go on an expedition! All of them! Every noble family must show their loyalty through an expedition. I not only want them to be good people
, and they still need to pay!”
Your Majesty wants to rebel! Metternich thought to himself.
However, the diplomats also knew that what Emperor Peter I said was angry. Peter I, who was rated 6 (highest) in domestic affairs ability 6 (highest) in diplomatic ability 5 in military ability 4 by the dwarves, could not be so stupid, otherwise there would not be such a noble and powerful military man.
Dendorff gained support from the common people.
Of course, there is still a gap. According to the latest correction of the dwarves, Fiona's numerical value has been raised to the legendary 667, and her military ability has received the highest level 7 rating symbolized by the dwarves.
Sure enough, Emperor Peter I quickly calmed down after losing his temper, and he restored his cheerful smile.
: "I'm a little out of control. Sit down, Metternich, sit down. We still have many things to talk about."
"As you command, Your Majesty." Metternich sat down.
However, what Metternich did not know was that while the count diplomat was observing the emperor, Emperor Peter I was also observing Metternich.
Peter I's anger was all fake. He was testing Metternich's availability, and at the same time, he was also building a relationship between the two parties. Occasionally showing a little emotion in front of his subordinates would automatically make the other person feel close and trustworthy.
Now it seems that this diplomat is also a very dignified person, with no leaks, the emperor thought in his heart.
