Chapter 245 Rumors
Although Roland fell into a state of complete weakness after killing the greenskin high priest, in the first few days, it was very difficult for him to even move his body, and he had to rely on Hela for his daily food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Although it feels good to have food served to you whenever you want, as an individual who has received compulsory education and has a certain sense of shame, Roland still feels embarrassed about some force majeure factors in daily life.
To be honest, if Roland had not already been a fifth-ring spellcaster and a third-ring knight, and although his body had not yet been sublimated, his soul had not yet been sublimated and he did not have the need for daily excretion, and did not need Hela to help him go, otherwise Roland would really not be able to hold on.
However, after paying the price to kill the greenskin high priest, Roland finally made a name for himself in Donnar.
Roland's achievements quickly spread as the various military forces of the Locke Resistance returned to their bases.
If Roland had joined the Southern United Army at the beginning, even if Roland had a record of military achievements, unless he won the struggle for power, his reputation would most likely be a bad one.
However, Locke's rebels are much better.
Although the ordinary soldiers at the bottom of the Rock Resistance may not be willing to fight the green-skinned orcs with their lives, the middle and high-level leaders of the Rock Resistance are all very radical border factions, and are willing to fight the green-skinned orcs at all costs.
The minority of conservatives thought that the radicals were too conservative. The radicals only wanted to fight the green-skinned orcs themselves, while the conservatives wanted to drag all the Donnar people to fight the green-skinned orcs. What if someone was unwilling? They would kill them.
In short, for them, anyone who is willing to join Locke's resistance army is one of them as long as they can kill the green-skinned orcs.
Moreover, Roland's performance in this annihilation battle was also very much to their liking.
Whether it was his attitude of killing all the green-skin orcs without leaving a single one alive, or thinking about the overall situation and not seizing power by relying on his status as temporary commander-in-chief, and actively allocating his elite soldiers to various places for support, or after receiving the news from Odin, he rushed to support day and night and killed the green-skin high priest.
Perhaps some of the middle and senior leaders of the Locke Resistance might not like any of these points, but Roland's performance in these points almost covers the entire middle and senior leaders.
Therefore, after the annihilation war, the middle and high-level leaders of the entire Locke Resistance Army basically had a certain degree of favorability towards Roland.
Even though Roland was somewhat ambiguous and did not agree when faced with the Border Area Faction's solicitation, this did not affect the Border Area Faction's overall attitude towards Roland.
In fact, even if Roland joined the local faction, the radicals of the border faction would not have any objections. If everyone in the local faction was like Roland and rushed to the front line, they would not have such a big conflict with the local faction.
Even if they were conservatives, and even if they were somewhat dissatisfied with Roland for not draining the entire territory to support the war on the front line, they would at most only say a few words in private. After all, Roland still went to the front line to fight hard.
As for the local faction, although Roland was killing a lot on the front line, he looked like an extreme border faction.
However, they had never been to the front line and did not know Roland's true attitude towards the Green Tide.
Looking at the prosperous Old Qi territory and the food coupons used to reap the gold and silver wealth of all the people in the territory, almost all local factions believed that Roland had long been a pure local faction.
You see, the food coupons were just pieces of waste paper. They were the tools he used to harvest gold and silver. It was obvious that he was ready to run away with the wealth.
Therefore, although Roland did not accept the solicitation of the local faction, most of the local faction members still firmly believed that Roland was on their side.
Although Roland did not rest for a few days after returning to Jiuqi, he continued to lead his army eastward, like a conservative border faction, but he opened up new land and also won over nearby local factions to open up new land and make money together. Isn't this a loyal local faction? Even if Roland joined the border faction, they would probably think that Roland wanted to lurk in it, grasp the situation on the front line, and run away immediately if the front line failed.
In short, as the conflict between the local faction and the border faction became increasingly serious and even Locke himself was not supported by either faction, Roland became the only one in the Locke resistance army who was considered one of their own by both factions.
Therefore, with the recognition and support of both the local faction and the border area faction, Roland's reputation became extremely great.
The local faction praised Roland's strong management ability, and was able to turn the unwanted old town into a prosperous city that is now well-known in the entire East Nar, and praised Roland's administrative and economic policies.
Even Roland's administrative reforms were exaggerated, referring to various ancient books, and various similar political systems such as the spellcaster recommendation system during the Littorio Silver Empire, the imperial knight system of the Central Kingdom, etc. were used to replace Roland's immature appointment bureaucracy.
The border faction praised Roland's strong military ability. Even when he had no prestige, he was able to coordinate the actions of the entire army and ensure various logistical supplies, which significantly improved the efficiency of the Locke resistance in the latest battle.
Moreover, he was able to build a powerful army from scratch by himself. The organization and training of the legionnaires were praised by almost everyone who had commanded in the war. Even ordinary soldiers had great respect for the legionnaires who always fought in the front row.
While the two factions were bragging, they also discovered each other's situation.
Although the conflict was suppressed by Locke, both sides were furious at the other side's shameless behavior of unilaterally advocating Roland's administrative (military) capabilities and trying to bind Roland to their own faction. They stepped up their own propaganda and tried to bind Roland to their side.
Roland's fame spread wider and wider, and became more and more exaggerated.
Roland lowered his head, looking at the information on the table, and he couldn't hold it in anymore.
He rubbed his head awkwardly.
"what happened?"
Seeing Roland's actions, Hela, who was supporting Roland, said with some confusion.
"See for yourself."
Roland closed his eyes, not wanting to explain, and handed the information to Hela.
Hela took the information and lowered her head to read it.
Under the flattery of the local and border factions, Roland's image has become increasingly exaggerated.
The current version has evolved into Roland being the Son of the World who descended from the sky, destined to save Donnar, expel and destroy the Green Tide, and bring peace and prosperity to all people.
It is like the body of a giant dragon, knowing the wisdom of all things, powerful enough to win in battle, and the beautiful embodiment of abundance and order.
