In the Name of the Queen

Not only the cabinet could not understand Roland's operation, but the whole world could not understand it.

When Sakhalin summarized everything Roland did into intelligence and presented it to Sofia, she remained silent for a long time.

Although he did not dare to speak loudly in front of the queen, Sakhalin could not hide his resentment.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Sophia asked softly:

"Lord Sakhalin, you have been in Val City for a month and a half. What do you think of Roland?"

Although he was very unhappy, he still gave a fair judgment, "This is a despicable and cunning guy."

"His hard power is far inferior to mine, at most equal to Camille, but he made both Camille and I suffer."

"According to my intelligence, he has never suffered a loss. Once is luck, twice is luck, and many times is skill."

Listening to Sakhalin's judgment, Sophia nodded and said softly: "Sakhalin, your opinion is very accurate."

As she spoke, she sighed a little disappointedly and said softly: "Sakhalin, do you feel that serving as the Shadow Temple is a bit of a waste of talent?"

"I don't! It is my honor to serve His Majesty. It doesn't matter what I do, but it is important to be able to do things for His Majesty!"

Sakhalin was sweating profusely.

Although his strength is only one step away from the seventh rank, he is definitely not Sophia's opponent even if he breaks through the seventh rank.

He has witnessed the Queen's heroic figure casually killing opponents of the same level.

The Queen's questioning almost frightened him to his knees.

But he knew that the Queen didn't like soft eggs, so he could only stand up straight.

Sophia smiled and said, "Sir Sakhalin, there is no need to be like this. It is a good thing to pursue progress. The Shadow Temple is just a special organization. Although it has a high level, it has no real power. The stage is too small."

"I will give you a stage to perform. You are fully responsible for the military operations against the Khanate of Beli. I will give you 130,000 troops and half a year. Is that enough?"

Sakhalin's heart was trembling.

Her Majesty the Queen intends to let him take charge!

Although the Shadow Temple is trusted by the Queen, it is just a stepping stone.

He has been the chief for more than five years, and there is some resentment in his heart.

It seems that his loyalty satisfied the Queen, so she gave him a chance.

He quickly knelt on one knee, raised his head and solemnly stated, "Your Majesty, the cost of 130,000 troops is too high. Just give me 50,000 troops!"

"The entire country of the Burghana Khanate has less than 20,000 or 30,000 troops. Even if the whole country is mobilized, it can only put together a hundred thousand unorganized new troops at most. With only 50,000 elite troops, we can defeat them in three months!"

"Sakhalin, this is a war of annihilation. The Burghana Khanate will definitely launch the most intense resistance under the threat of annihilation. They have a martial tradition and cannot be underestimated."

Sophia said calmly: "Brown bears have to go all out to hunt elk. It is very costly to dispatch 130,000 troops, but we can't afford the consequences of failure."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee with my head that 50,000 people are enough!"

Sakhalin said confidently: "This winter is very warm, and the hidden Pests under the snow can easily survive the winter, and when spring comes, they will eat the grassland into pieces. Climate factors are very unfavorable to the Beli Khanate. "

"Not only that, the current Beli Khan is a foolish and incompetent man who can do nothing but drink and play with women. All the tribes in the Khanate do not obey him."

"As long as we choose to launch an attack in spring when the horses are the thinnest, they will definitely lose!"

"I will never underestimate the enemy. I will divide and disintegrate them by buying them off and alienating them, and then launch an attack when they are the weakest."

Looking at Sakhalin's confident expression, Sophia nodded with satisfaction and said softly:

"You have always been prudent in doing things, so this matter will be handed over to you. When you return triumphantly, the territory and title of Earl of Lower Gross will belong to you."

Sakhalin was trembling with excitement.

Her Majesty is still so generous.

His eyes were red, and he slowly left after repeated assurances.

Looking at Sakhalin's departing back, Sophia sighed softly, feeling a little helpless.

Of course, she knew that 130,000 troops would be a huge cost, and sending 50,000 troops would be more cost-effective, but the Beli Khanate was definitely not a soft persimmon.

They would not surrender directly like the Val city-state.

They would use the vast grasslands to keep maneuvering, and they would be able to save their country until the imperial army was exhausted.

This battle was not easy to fight, so she recalled Sakhalin.

The Shadow Temple could not do without Sakhalin, but now she needed a general who was good at fighting.

Thinking of the useless generals and incompetent nobles under her command, she had a headache.

These insects were the biggest obstacle for her to become the emperor.

It would be great if the Vladimir Empire could also be as talented as other countries.

In fact, the empire is not short of talents, but it lacks the upward channel for these people.

A hint of coldness flashed in Sophia's eyes. Before starting a full-scale war, these termites must be cleared out.

Let their heads stay for a while.

Her cold voice echoed in the palace, "Let Angelina come over."

The situation in Val City has stabilized, and there is no need for Sakhalin to continue wasting time there.

If it's just to maintain stability, let Angelina exercise.

Half of the 1.5 brains of the temple are in Angelina.

Although her thoughts often jump out of control, she can still use her brain when she is calm.

And her strength has improved by leaps and bounds recently, and she is much stronger than before.

Although there are many problems, it is worth cultivating.

This is Sophia's evaluation of Angelina.

In the eyes of others, Angelina is her shadow.

She is also good at manipulating the power of winter, is also cold as ice, and is also dismissive of men.

But Sophia knows that Angelina is just a poor imitation of her.

Angelina soon appeared in front of her.

"Angie, what kind of person do you think Roland is?"

"A cunning, despicable, and shameless enemy." Angelina answered in seconds.

Sophia had a headache. Angelina was now obviously in a state of forgetting to carry a brain.

Looking at the queen's cold expression, Angelina suddenly shuddered and quickly changed her comments.

"But Roland is not an ordinary person. He is the backbone of Queen Sylph. He can be considered a part of the queen, so personal morality is not important."

"Because he has no bottom line and flexible means, he is a very difficult enemy to deal with."

Angelina said softly: "He is definitely not the opponent of the chief!"

"What if the opponent is you?"

Sophia asked calmly.

Angelina's eyes lit up. Does the queen intend to send her to Val City?

She looked up at the Queen, her eyes full of determination, "As long as it's a fair duel, I'm not afraid of him!"

Sophia was speechless for a moment.

Fair duel? This was the coldest joke she had ever heard in her life, colder than the polar glaciers.

She sighed softly and said helplessly: "Go back to the Arctic glaciers and calm down for another half a year."

"Your Majesty, I, I want to do something for you!" Angelina was anxious.

Although the training speed in the core area of ​​the Arctic glaciers is very fast, becoming stronger cannot be done behind closed doors, and continuous experience is required.

She is now much stronger than when she visited Sussex, why can't she work for the Queen!

Sophia sighed and said:

"I will only say this once. Fair duels are limited to strong competitions and pretense when you are sure of victory. At other times, you must defeat the enemy in the most certain way, even if the means are despicable."

Angelina was stunned, but still firmly stated, "I remember it!"

"If Roland returns to Val City and there is a conflict of interest, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"No mercy, use all means to deal with him!"

Sophia continued to ask: "What if the strong men of the Golden Kite Kingdom also have a conflict of interest with you?"

"No mercy, use all means to deal with them!"

Sophia was amused, she smiled and asked: "What if they unite?"

"Roland and the Golden Kite Kingdom have a grudge, how can they unite?"

"I'm asking how you deal with it, not how they unite!" Sophia raised her voice.

"Then I will also unite the strong men of the Tyrol Kingdom and the Pruden Kingdom! This way it's three to two, and the advantage is still mine." Angelina responded quickly.

Sophia nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask: "What if they also have a conflict of interest with you?"

"This"

Angelina was confused by the question. Isn't that a friendly country?

Seeing her sweating, Sophia said calmly: "Remember, if the situation is too complicated to handle, first join forces with Roland to deal with others."

"Yes, sir."

Although she accepted the arrangement, Angelina still couldn't figure out why Her Majesty the Queen arranged it this way.

Sophia obviously didn't want to explain, but just announced that she would manage the affairs of Val City. The bottom line goal is not to lose the city, and the magic crystal veins cannot be secretly mined.

Angelina breathed a sigh of relief.

This is too simple.

She was a little panicked to deal with Roland and other powerful people from other countries at the same time, but she would definitely be able to do it if she just kept the basics.

Sophia thought about it, took off the azure ring, and bounced to Angelina.

"Take it."

"Your Majesty, this is your engagement ring, I, I..." Angelina was terrified.

"I have been a widower for many years. This ring is meaningless to me, but it is still useful to you. If you encounter an enemy you cannot deal with, just crush it."

A hint of coldness flashed in Sophia's eyes, and she said lightly: "It is almost one-tenth of the power of my full-strength attack, which is enough."

Angelina could feel the whole palace was shrouded in coldness, and the hairs on her body stood up.

She knew that this was the past that the queen was most reluctant to mention.

Although royal marriage has nothing to do with feelings, it does not mean that the queen can accept being ignored by her husband.

She also couldn't figure it out. The queen's appearance and temperament were both top-notch. Was the late emperor blind?

It is said that Her Majesty the Queen has never been favored by the late emperor, and she is even a virgin.

No one dared to discuss this matter. Whoever mentioned it would die.

Angelina knew it was a shame.

The husband was too lazy to pretend on the wedding night, and went to sleep with his lover. It was an indelible shame for anyone.

This is especially true for the queen.

So she killed her husband and took away the crown and scepter.

Angelina put away the ring and carefully kept it close to her body.

She dared not wear the Queen's ring casually, so she could only worship it as a treasure.

After watching Angelina leave, Sophia sighed and continued to summon other ministers.

She knew the true intelligence level of these idiots, so she did not give them room to play freely, but directly told them the goals and methods.

It was late at night when she arranged the last task.

Slowly getting up, Sophia walked north.

She was going to stay under the Arctic glacier for half a year.

She was increasingly unable to suppress the power in her body, and had to go to the Arctic glacier to hibernate for a while in spring and summer.

Any power has a price.

She has a powerful power that is invincible at the same level, so naturally she has to pay a price far beyond imagination.

The return day is approaching, and the whole world thinks that she is the one who has the least suspense in her promotion.

She really has no opponent, her opponent is only herself.

If she cannot control her power and run wild before the return day, she will be torn apart by the Supreme Law.

The strong people in the world are troubled by their weakness, but only she is trembling because of her strength.

I hope these idiots don't mess things up.

She is very fast, passing like a ghost in the night, and no one can see her at all.

Before entering the North Pole, she stopped and cast a beam of light to the west.

It would be great if she had a prime minister like Roland who can stand on his own and is unconventional.

Unfortunately, she doesn't.

I wonder what he and the little girl are busy with?

Sophia paused for less than a second and disappeared in the first rays of dawn.

Whether it is Roland or Sif, they are too weak and are not qualified to be enemies or partners.

Roland is busy running a university.

Just when the whole world was guessing what he was going to do, he and Sif attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Rodinia University.

This university has five branches: the School of Philosophy, the School of Technology, the School of Alchemy, the Military Academy, and the School of Magic.

The name of this university is a bit too big, and many experienced officials have advised Roland not to be so high-profile, but he refused.

He has to be high-profile.

If he wants to gather talents from the entire continent, he must have a resounding name.

In the past two months, many talents from various industries have come to him, but there are basically no talents who can reach the S-level threshold, and even those who can reach the A-level threshold are very few.

Obviously, the real talents are still waiting and watching.

They not only look at Roland's attitude, but also his ability and pattern.

Want to gather talents from all over the continent, but dare not even use the name of Rodinia University, is it reasonable?

As for whether being so high-profile will offend people, Roland doesn't care.

The real strong are least lacking in enemies.

As long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter how many enemies you have.

Queen Sophia has the most enemies, but who has she ever feared?

He will personally serve as the president of the university and train the team.

After all, he is the [Inheritor], and only in this way can he make rapid progress in strength.

Roland was a little scared after the confrontation with Sakhalin that day.

Calculation and strategy are important, but strength is the foundation.

He can calculate Camille and even Sakhalin, but can he calculate Sophia?

In the face of absolute strength, calculation is nothing but a farce.

Only those with basically the same strength are qualified to calculate Sophia.

In the eyes of all officials, Roland and Sif walked side by side to the entrance of the university.

He raised his right hand and solemnly announced to everyone.

"Rodinia University welcomes everyone to join, regardless of ethnicity or nationality, as long as you have a heart for knowledge."
