Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 767 Honors (Part 2)
"Roland!"
The eighth marshal is Roland Marshall. This former marshal of the Shire Border Guards has a big question mark whether his loyalty to Fiona or his ability.
Fiona still included him among the top ten marshals to appease the veteran knights and nobles and to recognize Marshal Roland's deep experience in guarding the border for decades.
But obviously that's the end of it, Fiona will not reuse Roland, and both parties are mutually acceptable to maintain such a relationship.
"Goodwin!"
The ninth marshal is Goodwin. The reasons why he was chosen as marshal have been mentioned before and will not be repeated here.
"Davout!"
The last marshal was actually Nicolas Davout!
This decision made everyone's eyes shattered.
Davout's military experience is only a few years? Now he is a marshal?
???
Many people sitting below had displeased expressions on their faces, and the applause was sparse.
Davout took to the stage with some hesitation. His steps were a little hesitant, as if he knew that he would have difficulty convincing the audience.
"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared, Davout, do you know what I would choose you for?"
At this time, the fairy in the lake spoke in person. The goddess motioned for Davout to come to the stage. She smiled and said:
"What I like is that you have the courage to do things and stand up. You are still young, Davout. This is the biggest reason why I chose you."
"I may not be able to bear such a heavy responsibility, my lady."
The deputy commander of the Guards lowered his head in shame: "This is too heavy for me. I think it should be awarded to a better and more valuable person..."
"Aren't you a better and more valuable person yourself?"
The fairy in the lake signaled Davout to come closer. As an encouragement, the goddess personally reached out and patted Davout on the shoulder:
"Take it, if you think you are not enough, then prove to everyone that you are enough to shoulder such honor and responsibility."
"Take it, Davout, you deserve it." Fiona said with a smile.
"yes!"
Seeing this, Davout no longer hesitated, he knelt down on one knee and accepted it all.
The ceremony of canonizing the ten marshals was completed. The ten most prominent marshals of the Shire stood in front of everyone and accepted the cheers and applause of everyone. There were also banquets and ceremonies next.
"What exactly did you get from that ancient holy relic?"
Sitting in the luxury carriage, the Lake Fairy and Fiona surrounded Iros on the left and right. The goddess leaned on Ryan's shoulder, her green eyes full of interest: "Tell me!"

"Yes, Ilos, the lady has already asked, please tell us about it." Fiona was also interested.
"Aren't all the benefits divided between you and Louise?" Iros complained.
Iros's face looked a little unattractive.
After the conferring ceremony of the ten marshals, the Shire expeditionary army was officially disbanded, and all the marshals and nobles returned to their respective fiefdoms.
The long expedition is over, and even the soldiers are exhausted and everyone needs a good rest.
Bertrand and Davout also returned to their respective territories. Bertrand returned to the territory on the edge of the Arden Forest. He was now Baron of Nottingham, while Davout was invited by Gonzalez to spend the winter. It is said that
The marriage has been arranged.
Another year of Winter Veil is coming.
Fiona, Iros and others spent the winter in the Grand Duke's Castle in the Shire this year, instead of the Storm Fortress.
After the threat of the northern orcs is lifted, it is more appropriate to use the Grand Duke's Castle in the Shire as the administrative center, because it is located in the center of the Shire, and transportation and external communications are also more convenient.
Fiona only transferred the Halberd Battalion of the Guards to protect her, but at the same time, an entire team, including Fiona's entire staff team, and the First Guards Lancers were also transferred to Jean.
The city is coming.

Even though the Winter Veil holiday has begun to approach, the government affairs of the entire Principality of Shire have not stopped functioning.
On the contrary, Fiona received a steady stream of news from all over the mainland. She held many internal meetings to deal with various matters. Due to the centralization of power, the Grand Duke had to deal with more affairs.
However, thanks to the establishment of the central civil service system and the formation of a bureaucratic team, Fiona has fewer things to deal with personally.
In the office of the Duke's Castle, in the morning.
Fiona sat behind her tall armchair, handling various domestic affairs.
More than a month later, all kinds of information continued to arrive at Fiona's desk from all sides of the mainland.
The first thing was from Raun. The remnants of the orcs near Erengrad were finally cleared away, and the new army (referring to the back wave of the expedition) had also arrived.
The grassland has entered a terrible cold winter, and the army is tired and needs to rest. Lawn has established a series of sentries and defense lines to prepare for the weak threat of the orcs, but the Northland Marshal still needs help from the mainland.
Fiona promised to send part of the army to assist Raun after the spring, and Erengrad must be controlled.
The second thing was sent by Beria. Catalin Khanlin led his court, as well as two groups of guards who insisted on not disbanding and a group of guards composed of imperial swordsmen and char knights.
The army arrived in Braunschweig.

And she worked very hard to participate in social activities everywhere, trying to persuade the Albrex Empire to help her "restore the country."
Many military nobles in the Albrex Empire also believed that the north needed a barrier and that the Charles family could not be allowed to dominate.
However, the current Albrex Empire does not have the energy and financial resources to help her. It seems that Katalin Khan will not receive military and financial support from the Albrex Empire in the short term, but small-scale funding has been flowing in.
Katalin Khan also seemed to realize that there was a problem within his bureaucracy, so he began to personally manage the finances, and at the same time continued to promote General Bagramyan, the logistics chief, to become finance minister.
The third thing came from the information from the Fairy in the Lake and part of the information from Talleyrand, that is, among the elves, there seems to be a brand new sect that is spreading. The mystics are promoting the so-called "Seventh Path" everywhere, but it is a pity that there is no response.
There were only a few of them, and soon both the high elves and the dark elves immediately declared this as heresy, and immediately cleaned up and strangled them.
As soon as the Death Army arrived, they were pulling people everywhere. After learning the news, Iros complained about who will die with you.
The fourth thing is news from the Albrex Empire. The God of Death chose Velic. The Curse used the Demonic Fire of Death to ignite the town of Zeskagrad in the Ostmark Province, burning the entire town into ruins.
, and fled before the Imperial Knights arrived.
In the reception room of the Duke's castle, Fiona summoned Rokossovsky, Beria and Talleyrand.
Fiona's purpose in summoning these people is simple.
The Grand Princess sat on the main seat and said to the three people:

"According to recent intelligence from MI7, Katalin Khan traveled to Wadendorf, the capital of the Albrex Empire, by sea and stayed there for a while. Although he received a lot of small-scale donations, he wanted to rely on this little money to recover.
The country is still far away.
Therefore, according to reliable sources, Katalin Khan plans to go to Marienburg in the Cyril Empire in the near future and take advantage of the Winter Veil Festival to launch a fundraiser for the citizens of Marienburg.
At the same time, seek financial assistance from the big businessmen, big bureaucrats, major guilds and other possible forces in the upper and lower houses of the Xirel Empire."
After hearing Fiona's information, the three people had different reactions.
Rokossovsky showed a somewhat hesitant and embarrassed expression. The double marshal lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
Beria frowned, nodded slightly, and one leg shook restlessly.
Talleyrand's eyes were shining brightly, and the lame man's cane was gently drawing circles on the carpet with wooden floor in the reception room.
"What's wrong? Are you all mute? You two are marshals and one is the foreign minister. Why are you silent at this critical moment?"
Fiona smiled playfully, observing the reactions of the three people.
Interesting, really interesting, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, the less you do, the less mistakes you make.
