In the Name of the Queen

Employ people with confidence, and don't employ people if you don't trust them. This is Roland's style of employing people.

He asked the Court of Light to send the High-level Holy Templar to be the commander.

Since there is a need, of course the High-level Holy Templar should be asked to take action.

The other two Holy Templars were arranged to be instructors in the military academy to teach the ignorant bumpkins.

The best commander, Christine, must be used on the blade.

A carrier pigeon flew out of the Governor's Mansion, summoning Christine to come.

One day later.

Christine, who was traveling at full speed, rushed to the Governor's Mansion and reported to Roland.

"Your Excellency, High-level Holy Templar Christine is at your disposal."

The Knight of Light is Roland's title. Christine is using this way to remind Roland that she is not Roland's subordinate, but only temporarily obeys him because he is an honorary knight.

Roland didn't care about these details, as long as he could help.

"Christine, you got here in just one day, you must be very tired, go and rest first, we'll talk tomorrow if there's anything."

"I'm not tired, it's the horse that's running, not me." Christine's tone was very cold, as if she was keeping people away from her.

Roland smiled and teased, "Your sweat is running down your cheeks, and you still say you're not tired?"

"Lord Light, I'm not playing with you. We're in a state of war now, and it can even be understood that the war has begun."

Looking at Christine's serious expression, Roland's smile gradually faded.

She is worthy of being the best high-level temple, but her seriousness far exceeds that of the generals in the governor's jurisdiction.

It's a pity that such a powerful commander belongs to someone else.

Christine took the information Roland handed over and looked at the sand table Roland had set up.

Seeing her serious expression, Roland asked with a guilty conscience: "Is there a problem with the placement?"

"There are some flaws, but it does not affect the overall situation. There is no problem with the placement."

Christine's lips were slightly more smiling, "Since Lord Guangming understands military command, some things are much easier to talk about."

"Now you will command the army of the Governor's District, and I will command the army of the Kingdom of Oden, and we will conduct a simulation."

Listening to Christine's praise, Roland was sweating all over.

Forget about the war game simulation.

All he knew about war game simulation was just the basic rules.

It felt like a novice who had just learned the rules of chess and was going to play against an international grandmaster.

It was only a 50-50 start, and then it was a crushing defeat.

"Lord Guangming, don't be restrained, it's just a simulation."

It would be impolite to retreat after saying this.

Roland had no choice but to bite the bullet.

However, some things could not be pretended at all. After just a few steps, Christine knew Roland's level.

In less than half an hour, Roland was completely defeated.

He had no time to wipe his sweat, as the "frequent success reports" on all fronts had already made him numb.

He was somewhat frustrated, but fortunately Christine was not looking for trouble. She said softly:

"By the standards of a beginner, your response is already excellent."

"My choice just now is the best solution. Now let's exchange identities. Try to attack according to my tactics just now."

Copying homework, right? How easy is that.

Roland, who has a super memory, remembers Christine's moves completely.

He launched the attack with full confidence.

It is worthy of being the offensive tactics of the high-level temple, as sharp as a storm.

Christine fought and retreated, and Christine was in a dilemma. Christine fell into despair.

Christine launched a counterattack!

When the Oden Kingdom Army commanded by Roland continued to advance and even hit Hansa City, where the Governor's Office was located, Christine launched a counterattack.

The Oden Kingdom Army's front line was too long.

Insufficient logistical supplies caused the army's morale and combat effectiveness to drop significantly.

However, Christine completed the battlefield deployment without noticing, using the city defense to consume the morale of the Oden army and launch a counterattack to divide and surround the enemy.

As the counterattack progressed, the final battle line was deadlocked at 170 kilometers within the territory of the Oden Kingdom.

This is the limit of the Governor's Army's logistical supply.

If the pursuit continues, the Governor's Army with logistical difficulties will also lose morale and combat effectiveness, and will go through the path of the Oden Kingdom again.

Christine made a summary statement with a sigh.

"Unfortunately, this is the limit of our counterattack, the north of the Oak Forest. If you want to destroy the Oden Kingdom, you have to wait for the enemy to do something stupid."

"That's enough!"

Hearing about the Oak Forest, Roland's eyes lit up.

He was preparing for war just for this forest.

The history of the Oden Kingdom is not shorter than that of the Sussex Empire. It is a country with a foundation. It is not so easy to destroy them.

But it is easy to make the loser cede some wood.

Christine asked curiously, "Are you fighting for this forest?"

She suddenly thought of the use of oak trees and completely understood Roland's ambition.

She couldn't comment on Roland's ambition and didn't want to comment on it.

She just wanted to complete the task as soon as possible and use a big victory to earn chips for her election as a saint.

Roland looked at Christine seriously and said in a deep voice, "Holy Church Christine, I would like to entrust you to temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief of our army. Your temporary rank is Lieutenant General of the Army."

The highest rank in the Governor's District was Major General. Without the rank of Lieutenant General, it would be impossible to control those old soldiers who have served in the army for many years.

Christine saluted Roland without any hesitation.

"Yes, Lord Light."

"Christine, since you have joined our army temporarily, don't use religious titles. You can call me Governor or Roland."

"Yes, Governor!"

Christine certainly knew what Roland was worried about. The mainstream belief of the Sussex Empire is abundance.

It is okay for the believers of abundance to hire the Holy Temple of Light to help fight the war, but it would be a bit wrong if they commanded the warriors of the Temple of Light and the Holy Temple as Knights of Light for a long time.

After solving the commander problem, Roland's mind was instantly opened. He smiled and said:

"Maybe we can find a way to make the enemy relax their vigilance and advance deep into the enemy, which can effectively reduce our casualties."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Christine felt that Roland was thinking too much.

Perhaps Sven VII looked down on young people who relied on nepotism in his heart, but the battlefield was ruthless, and he would definitely take it seriously when he was on the battlefield.

It is not easy to fool the enemy.

Just as Christine was thinking hard, Roland smiled and said, "All we need is a carnival celebration and an invitation."

"I plan to use the excuse that the illegal merchants in Samaria are out of date to entertain officials from the General Government and merchants from various countries, and I will also invite representatives from countries such as the Kingdom of Oden to attend the dinner."

Christine's eyes lit up.

What would the Kingdom of Oden think of the army whose commander was holding a banquet and carnival at the base camp?

They would definitely think that this was a good opportunity that could not be missed, and then rush out like lightning.

This is the best opportunity to defeat the Kingdom of Oden with the lowest loss.

This is Roland, he is always so good at playing dirty.

Christine thought silently.
