Chapter 73

When Kane arrived back in the Iron Rose Kingdom he met up with Jag. He discussed the recent events with him so that Jag would know before going to the Kokar Kingdom on his mission.

After all, was said Kane saw Jag and his group out. Hopefully, they would all return.

Kane went to talk to the Orcs stationed in the city. He wanted to inform them of Oklas's death and have them set up another team.

When Kane was done he went to eat. 10 minutes into his meal knocking came from outside his door.

"Come in!"

After Kane's words, Annius walked inside.

"Sir I must ask for your help. Our armies have been growing and the Legio V Macedonica is growing but still smaller than your other troops. The troops are also not of the best stock and training is slow. It is also tough as the only commanding officer. If your highness permits it I would like you to not only supply me with more and better legionaries but other commanding officers."

Kane knew that Annius was right. The Romans we very useful and probably his best quality army. He had also neglected to expand and improve his Legio V Macedonica. Annius was always busy training troops. The troops themselves were also spread out all over the place and not very disciplined. Unlike the Roman Empires' legions, his little army was a disgrace. The Romans were also not high in rank consisting of E-rank and F-ranks.

"You are right. War is coming and I want to be ready for it. It's time to go on a spending spree."

Kane decided to splurge on improving his military. He decided to buy 50 C-Rank Romans for 20,000. It was expensive and you may think it was not worth it but these Romans were much stronger than the others he had. Now he had around 500 Romans. He. also made Annius would train them all to the fullest. Kane decided to send word to the Iron Peak to have the 200 Romans there come back to the city.

Kane would spend points on centurions to help Annius later.

After talking with Annius for a bit Kane called for the Goblin Shamen living in the city. This goblin would convene with Kane every so often about the state of the goblins. Kane wanted to make sure all his forces were ready for the upcoming war.

While waiting Kane received a system notification that seemed way too convenient.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: 5K Baby!: Have your troops surpass 5k. Reward: 10,000 shop points, 100 F-rank Earth troop vouchers, A bowl of venison pudding]

Kane was happy for the rewards but why did he get venison pudding?

Kane took it out of his inventory but as soon as it entered the room he wanted to throw up. The pudding smelled rancid and Kane threw it out the castle window.

"Well, that's it. I am going to bed." Kane decided to end the day early after that.

Somewhere below in the castle grounds, a certain goblin was walking to meet with his king. He did not expect to be bombarded by something so disgusting even as a goblin he could not stand it. The goblin started using his spells to try and burn the substance but all it did was ruin a nearby tree.
