In the Name of Empress-Chapter 592 - 349: She’s a Bitch (Part 4)

Roland stood on the moral high ground, unbuckling his belt. At such times, whoever opposed him would get someone peeing on their head.

But these representatives were unwilling to easily concede. The mobile forces comprised elite units from various countries, small in number but extremely powerful.

If they couldn't secure sufficient benefits here, they wouldn't be able to explain themselves back home.

Roland was well aware of these people's schemes. It wasn't convenient for him to propose another plan, so someone naturally stood up.

Lisa rose to greet the representatives from various countries, then smiled and asked:

"Roland, how do you plan to organize the mobile forces? How many people are needed, how will logistics be arranged, how will the command structure be built, and where will these forces be stationed?"

"If you don't make it clear, it'll be difficult for everyone."

Of course, Lisa wasn't questioning Roland; she was asking on behalf of the others.

After Lisa raised the questions, the representatives from various countries looked at her gratefully.

The Battle of White Mountain established Sofia's invincible status, and the Rodinia War showcased Sussex, Jin Yuan, and the Vladimir Empire's superiority over other nations.

Now, with Roland speaking on behalf of the three major powers and Sofia, who would dare to oppose him?

However, they didn't want their countries to become vassals.

They wanted to ask but feared offending Roland. Fortunately, Lisa acted as their voice, for which they were naturally grateful.

Roland was well-prepared for these questions.

He directly presented the drafted plan for organizing the mobile forces.

According to his plan, the number of this force didn't need to be large, as it would be comprised of special units and Transcendents.

This force would normally be stationed in places like Val City, monitoring the movements of underground relics, and be ready to alert and take action upon detecting any anomalies.

In short, they would be stationed near the core zones of the Odin Empire and the Alamanni Empire.

This special mobile force of only five thousand would possess the strongest individual combat capability, the highest wages, and the best equipment.

The representatives were bewildered after hearing Roland mention the number for the mobile forces.

Even if these five thousand were super warriors, it seemed too few.

Someone cautiously voiced their objection, "The importance of the mobile forces is self-evident; isn't only five thousand too few?"

"It is enough."

Roland signaled the representative to sit down and patiently explained.

In the face of threats from super enemies, having too many ordinary warriors could actually be a disadvantage.

The high compensation alone was already a headache.

"The combat effectiveness of special units doesn't depend on numbers but on combat thinking."

From the void, Roland reached out and grabbed a thick document.

"This is the research outcome of the Norton research group concerning war machines. To demonstrate the sincerity of promoting the Alliance's formation, I have decided to share it freely with all participating countries."

This statement made many representatives stand up excitedly.

Previously, they were frustrated at not obtaining war machines, but this regret was now completely resolved.

Norton is a top continental alchemist, physicist, and chemist, and his research ability essentially represents the pinnacle of the continent.

His results are naturally invaluable.

This research outcome can assist participating countries in better handling war machines and truly save lives.

With Roland offering this heavyweight gift, the attitude of the country's representatives quickly changed.

They all expressed willingness to contribute manpower if they had, and money if they could.

The invited Transcendents also tactfully stood up to express their willingness to participate.

Transcendents transcend the mundane, but they are still human and cannot detach from human existence.

If all ordinary people die, who would support them? Are they supposed to farm for themselves?

Since there were no objections, the formation of the mobile forces proceeded naturally.

The formation plan was very clear, and Roland spent several days finalizing this plan, so representatives of the other countries naturally had no objections.

The final question remained.

Who would command this mobile force?

In terms of strength, Sofia was the most suitable, but she didn't even come. She had been meditating under the Arctic Glacier and wasn't interested in such matters.

Roland outright said there was no need to consider Sofia.

He rejected not only Sofia but also all national leaders.

"I have too many responsibilities and can't spare the time."

Roland humbly declined.

"I presume the supreme leaders and officials of various countries are the same."

Roland humbly declined on behalf of others.

Although some were not pleased, Roland had already spoken. What could they say?

Since the national leaders and officials couldn't participate, then doesn't it mean...

Queen Sisi lightly coughed and stood up.

"Mr. Roland, if everyone cannot shoulder this burden, I have a proposal: why don't I undertake it..."

"You don't qualify." Roland abruptly cut off Queen Sisi's words.

He initially had a fondness for this woman and even felt some sympathy for her because of the bullying she had endured from Sofia in her early years.

But Sif and Christine both didn't like her, so naturally, Roland added her to the adversary list.

If only one of Sif or Christine disliked her, it might have been a personal grievance, but since these two who had a bad relationship both thought Queen Sisi was unsuitable, then she truly wasn't suitable.

Sif had Insight, and Christine was guided by the Divine Oracle.

Queen Sisi, associated with the darkness lurking in shadows, must be sidelined.

Without evidence, Roland couldn't accuse her of harboring dark energy. Fortunately, he had a better reason.

"Sorry, you are too weak. It's about Rodinia's safety and humanity's survival, and you can't handle this burden."

Roland's dominating demeanor provoked dissatisfaction in some Transcendents, and one stood up, shared a glance with Queen Sisi, and then loudly protested.

"Lord Roland, you can't speak for everyone, I'm willing to submit to Queen Sisi's leadership."

Sif and Christine frowned simultaneously, putting the number one flunky of Queen Sisi on the blacklist.

Roland laughed heartily and calmly said, "I do not submit."

This statement killed the contest.

If anyone argued further, it would mean going against Roland.

The Transcendent who had just stood up was at a loss for words and had to sit down awkwardly.

Indeed, he had received pleasures beyond soul and flesh from Queen Sisi, but he wasn't about to oppose Roland over it.

Queen Sisi elegantly tucked her hair, sat down with a gentle smile.

"I was merely proposing. Since Mr. Roland doesn't like it, I have to withdraw."

"Mr. Roland, I am curious to hear your opinion."

Queen Sisi maintained her graceful composure, but only she knew what was in her heart.

"First, the commander must be strong enough to command respect. Their strength must at least reach above the average of Tier Five."

Upon hearing this condition, Christine sat up straight.

Who else could perfectly match this condition other than her?

Surely, they wouldn't go to distant Balat to ask the Ascetic to come out or invite the Crow Sage, right?

As expected of Roland, he had indeed made the most suitable arrangement.

Roland continued, "The commander candidate must be proficient in military skills and have experience commanding wars on a scale of over a hundred thousand."

This condition also made sense.

A mobile force commander not knowing military affairs would be too abstract.

Christine's upturned lips nearly revealed her smile.

This was an obvious choice; it had to be her.

"The person I have in mind is..."

Christine stood up.

Roland calmly announced, "Duke Reinhardt, please do not decline."
