Chapter 246 Frontline
Hela blinked, looked up at Roland, then looked down at the flattery being given to Roland.

I was a little surprised too.

Although Hela knew that Roland had many secrets that he had not told her, and she had never asked him, based on what Hela had seen and felt, Roland was not as outrageous as the rumors said.

Roland's background is the same as Hela's. They are just ordinary people born in a human tribe in the north, without any prominent background.

However, considering that when Hela met Roland, he seemed to know everything, was born with knowledge, and seemed a little out of tune with the world.

Thinking of this, Hela hesitated.

Although Roland does not have the physique of a dragon, the last three points seem to be true.

The wisdom that knows all things.

From the time she met Roland until now, Roland had shown her breathing techniques, meditation techniques, spells, techniques, scroll drawing, alchemy, strange machines, runes, and even the ability to create a fountain of life that could revive soldiers.

Roland seemed to know everything and could do everything. Until now, Hela had never encountered anything that Roland could not do.

The power to win the battle.

Ever since he was tied up as a sacrifice by the cultists, Roland seemed to have never lost, no matter if it was the cultist's high priest, the residual soul of the Lich King, or the previous green-skinned high priest.

Roland successfully defeated and destroyed them even though he was much weaker than them.

It is a beautiful embodiment of abundance and order, that's appropriate.

Roland could easily use a spell like the meal-making technique that he had never heard of. Moreover, although the development of the Old Qi territory was the result of the administrative bureaucrats, after all, this never-heard-of administrative system was also established by Roland himself.

Moreover, Roland was different from other people in that he pursued rules and order. He hated those unspoken rules and traditions without clear judgment criteria, and preferred strict and clear laws.

As for beauty.

Hela secretly glanced at Roland, who looked a little frail because of his weakness and would only be exposed in front of her, and nodded in agreement.

As she thought about this, an idea came to Hela’s mind.

Could it be that Roland is really the Son of the World and the Savior? It seems possible.

Looking at Hela's changing micro-expressions, Roland tapped her head helplessly and said.

"Don't think too much."

Although she didn't feel anything, Hela still covered the place where Roland hit her, smiled, and responded.

"Know it."

Following Roland's words, Hela put all the messy thoughts in her head behind her.

"Really? It's all very confusing."

Roland took a sip of the liquid of wisdom, rubbed his temple helplessly, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Hearing Roland's complaints, Hela, who was standing by, asked as she sorted out the information.

"Should we send someone to suppress these rumors?"

"never mind."

Roland shook his head and said helplessly.

"Although the rumors are a bit exaggerated, the transmission efficiency is indeed high. Since it can attract people to join us, then let it be." "Anyway, any Transcendent with some knowledge will not really believe this."

Given the current chaotic situation in Donnar, it is normal for propaganda to be distorted, not to mention that the border faction and the local faction are still confronting each other.

Although Roland couldn't help himself when he saw these exaggerated suffixes.

But, a reputation is better than no reputation.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is good as long as it can attract people and let the people of Donnar know about Roland's existence.

Thanks to this reputation, nearly a hundred knights were attracted here. Roland has now recruited more than twenty knights from them. If he works harder, he will probably be able to recruit a lot more.

The reason why Roland's recruitment efficiency is so low is mainly because the army under Roland emphasizes unity and order, and some wandering knights do not like to be subject to these constraints, otherwise Roland would be able to recruit more wandering knights.

However, Roland would not compromise on this point. If the cost of recruiting was uncontrollable, Roland would rather not have it.

Moreover, although Roland did not let the extraordinary knights who were willing to accept the restrictions and join the army return to the rear for education before returning to the front line, he dispersed them all and assigned them to the legion soldiers. He let the promoted extraordinary people in the legion lead them, adapting them to the legion's combat while teaching them military discipline.

While Roland was thinking, Hela put the information back, sorted out some reports that needed Roland's review, and placed them in front of Roland.

Roland picked up a report and quickly read through it.

This is a report on administrative reforms submitted by Julius.

After Roland led his army away in a mighty force, some unwilling conspirators began to become restless.

However, because Julius was well prepared, these conspirators were quickly suppressed by the city defense troops and legion soldiers who were deployed in advance as soon as they were about to start a riot.

Moreover, since the members have been integrated into the life of the territory, some conspirators who tried to cause trouble were suppressed by their own people in the village as soon as they started to riot.

According to Julius' data report, the number of people who rioted because of the administrative reform was more than 70,000, mainly humans, half-elves, dwarves, and a small number of goblins.

Among them, there were nearly 300 serious criminals who took the lead and knew the purpose. There were more than 3,000 medium-sized prisoners who followed the serious criminals in the riot but were unaware of the situation. There were more than 20,000 light-duty prisoners who followed the crowd in the riot, and the rest were ordinary people who were coerced and knew nothing.

As for the treatment of these prisoners, Julius decided to execute all serious criminals, while medium and minor criminals would be sentenced to labor punishment according to their crimes, and ordinary people would be given a collective warning.

Looking at Julius's disposal plan, Roland agreed with most of it, but modified a small part, changing the punishment for medium-sized prisoners from hard labor to death.

Although the territory is short of people, those who need to be killed still have to be killed. Julius is still too soft-hearted.

Thinking of this, Roland added another sentence.

We must strike hard and show no leniency against riots like this one.

While processing the report, Roland lowered his head and asked.

"What stage has the plan been implemented and where has the battle line advanced to?"

Hearing Roland's question, Hela opened the notebook in her hand.

"The latest news today is that the frontline army has crossed the Ghana River area, and one-third of the warlord's territory has been successfully conquered."

"However, there are still some green-skinned orcs roaming around in the territory we are attacking. The guerrilla teams are dealing with them. It is expected that the west bank of the Ghana River will be cleared in three days."

"Military support from the border region also arrived at the front this morning. According to your order, the frontline commander has handed over some unoccupied areas to them."
