Roland tapped on the table, and the hall fell silent for a moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"When the Demon Moon is over, next year will be the most important year for the Grey Keep," he said, rising from his main seat and walking behind the crowd, "I will unify the whole realm and hold an enthronement ceremony to become the rightful King of the Grey Keep." And you will also be my first ministers of government to help me govern the country together. ”

If it was placed two years ago...... This "ambitious statement" will only be regarded by everyone as the arrogant words of the fourth prince who do not know the height of the sky.

A year ago, it would have been a distant goal that you could try to work on.

But today, no one doubts Roland's words.

Everyone stood up, their right hands on their chests, and bowed to him, "It's my honor, Your Majesty!" Their grumbling and defensiveness dissipated in an instant, and a look of excitement appeared on their countenances—the longer they stayed at the town hall, the more they understood the power that Neverwinter possessed.

Undoubtedly, as long as he made this decision, it would be indisputable to bring the entire territory of the Grey Keep under his rule.

And they, too, can follow His Majesty and become the most powerful people in the kingdom.

Roland pressed his palms and motioned for everyone to sit down, "Not only that, but the scope of the Grey Keep's dominance will become more vast than ever, from the Savage Lands in the west, to the Fiordland Islands in the east, to the Endless Cape in the south, and to the Hermes Plateau in the north, all of them will follow my will!"

"For this to happen, the First Army will undoubtedly be the busiest department next year, and Neverwinter will only have a small number of garrisons left to garrison. Therefore, exploring the Great Snow Mountain is a necessary measure to eliminate hidden dangers, and I don't want the backyard to catch fire and the royal capital to be attacked by an enemy of unknown origin!"

"Your Majesty, perhaps we can enter the snowy mountains with the First Army and the Witch Alliance alone," Carter whispered...... proposed.

"In a cave with no light and extremely complex terrain, guns and artillery are of very limited use," Roland interrupted, "there is no preset location or map to refer to, and if you encounter a hybrid, how many casualties do you think the First Army will have to pay to repel those monsters?"

The Chief Knight was silent for a moment.

"That's why we have to work together to explore - the Witches of Divine Punishment in Tachira and the Witch Alliance complement each other, and it is safest for the First Army to set up sentry posts at the crossings of the explored roads to ensure that the retreat path is clear. Roland paused, and suddenly raised his voice a few points, "Listen, don't tell me how difficult it is to implement this plan, you are just sitting here to solve the difficulties! If you can't do it, the town hall doesn't need people who can't meet my requirements!"

He said this and looked at the town hall superintendent, "Barov Mons!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the latter shuddered.

"Are there any problems with the final accounts and logistics?"

"I want to ...... No," the old manager wiped the sweat from his face, "and I'll come up with a plan in five days." ”

"Three days. Roland said in no doubt, and then he turned his gaze to the Minister of Agriculture, "Seni Dali!"

"In!"

"The grain stock is not enough, so it is transferred from the Changge District, and there are many cement ships, understand?"

"Yes, obey, Your Majesty!"

"Carl Van Burt!"

"Your Majesty, I will carefully check the stability of the strata in the mining area and the furnace complex to ensure that there is no collapse. The Minister of Construction hurriedly took the initiative to say.

"Very good...... Roland smiled, "then the next one." ”

......

This time, all the problems were solved, and when the minister realized that he had made up his mind, the planned tasks were quickly assigned, and no one dared to delay a word.

Once you've decided on who is responsible, the next step is to decide on the starting team.

As Pasha's voice sounded directly in their heads, everyone panicked again, but fortunately, Roland's calm and calm scene of talking to the tentacle monster made the ministers find a little comfort, and finally did not make the embarrassing act of jumping out of the window and escaping.

Probably thinking that he had promised His Majesty anyway, and listened with his eyes closed, the ministers of various departments buried their heads one after another, pretending to be pensive, but in fact they were avoiding eye contact with the tentacle monster, as if the voice was not an ordinary conversation, but a hellish language that could capture people's minds.

Roland couldn't laugh or cry at this situation.

Edith, the only one with a head-up view of the light curtain, became the most striking member of the crowd.

Sometimes, she even tries to learn to talk to the High Witches of Tachira, as Roland did.

Barov also raised his head several times, as if he didn't want his opponent to steal the limelight so much, but he never could say a word.

Fortunately, Roland had already planned for this and did not need too much involvement from the town hall.

Eventually, Tachira agreed to send fifty Witches of Divine Punishment to fight alongside the main combatants of the Witch Alliance, and the First Army, commanded by Brian, was divided into five hundred men to participate in the operation.

The rest of the army stationed in Neverwinter was handed over to Carter for the time being, and he continued to guard against the sporadic beasts that harassed the border.

After agreeing on the exploration plan, Roland was about to end the bilateral meeting when Edith suddenly raised her hand.

"Your Majesty, I have applied to join this Snow Mountain Exploration Team and go to the Great Snow Mountain in the West with the First Army. ”

Barov twitched the corners of his mouth, "You are neither a witch nor an army soldier, so don't cause trouble for Your Majesty." ”

"I've worked as a swordsmanship instructor in the knight's camp, and it's hard for a normal person to hold out for five rounds in my hands, and the Beast is no exception, and I'm fully capable of protecting myself. She was unmoved.

Roland asked curiously, "What about the reason for applying?"

"The battle of divine will is getting closer and closer to us, but few of the ministers sitting here can say what the devil looks like and what the alien race looks like underground. Some people may think that it is a matter of the First Army, and the department in charge has nothing to do with the battle of the Divine Will, but the fact is that when the war is over, whether it is the Ministry of Construction or the Ministry of Agriculture, they will be involved in it and serve the war - so only by knowing the characteristics of the enemy and understanding who they are fighting with can we better divide the affairs for you. Edith said eloquently.

"You ......" the boss wanted to retort, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

Roland couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, this was an interesting statement, although it was a bit strong, but it made a thought suddenly rise in his head - if she could turn this into a default rule, that is, if you want to go further on the road to power, you must be transferred to the front line or the city of war to qualify for promotion, maybe it is a good idea. This will at least ensure that the officials of the town hall will not take the battle of fate lightly, nor will they issue outrageous and unrealistic decrees.

In addition, Edith does have a talent for combat, so it doesn't hurt for her to follow the First Army.

Thinking of this, he nodded towards the Northland Pearl.

"So, get ready to go. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. She stroked the ends of her hair that fell from her ears and smiled and saluted.
