Chapter 1197
The redirection of the storm was the Marchioni Empire’s way of throwing shit at the Proatine Empire, but this shit would, without a doubt, prove to be the decisive blow.
The diverted storm would move westward and sweep up everything in its path, which included the Proatine Empire.
Once regarded as the rising star on the continent that developed into a great nation in such a short time, the Proatine Empire would be sent back to the Stone Age after getting hit by this massive storm.
This was a tremendous opportunity for the Marchioni Empire, as they had been seeking an opportunity to annihilate the Proatine Empire. In other words, this storm was truly a blessing in disguise for them.
If the diverted storm obliterated the Proatine Empire, then the Marchioni Empire would achieve its goals without lifting a single finger.
There would be no need to wage war against the Proatine Empire, and their goals would be achieved without shedding a single drop of blood.
The Marchioni Empire would even be able to keep up their public image by feigning innocence and lamenting the misfortune that had fallen upon the Proatine Empire.
Thus, Emperor Stuttgart viewed the Great Marchioni Operation as a resounding success, as they not only survived the incoming disaster but also would soon bring about the downfall of the Proatine Empire.
“You are truly a loyal subject of our great empire, Neighdelberg,” Emperor Stuttgart said.
“This humble servant merely followed the orders of my lord,” Duke Neighdelberg replied with a bow.
“No, that is not so,” Emperor Stuttgart said, shaking his head. Then, he declared, “Thanks to your loyalty, our nation shall enjoy even greater prosperity and glory than ever before. Henceforth, I hereby bestow upon you a duchy and elevate your rank from Duke to Grand Duke.”
With that, Duke Neighdelberg rose to the higher rank of Grand Duke and was granted the middle name "von,"which signified royalty.
