In the Name of Empress-Chapter 532 - 332: Freeze_2

The old father was worried about his son getting into trouble in the war, after all, this was his only son.

But Raikkonen felt otherwise.

A man should naturally make achievements for the country and seek wealth for himself and his family, how can he be a paparazzi journalist all his life.

Being a paparazzi journalist is a profession that can only work during the day, as sooner or later trouble will arise.

War is indeed dangerous, but Raikkonen is full of confidence in Roland.

When bidding farewell to his father, Raikkonen smiled and comforted him, "If Governor Roland hadn’t valued and promoted me back then, I would still be a paparazzi journalist now. Though there’s nothing wrong with being one, becoming a majestic general is evidently more valuable."

He did not pay attention to his father’s worries.

Unless one transcends the shackles and ascends to the Divine Domain, one is destined to die. To make achievements and live a vigorous life before death means not having lived in vain.

Although Roland felt uneasy in his heart, Raikkonen, standing below him, was full of confidence in him.

Roland has already created countless miracles and will create more.

Although the Holy Alliance’s army has continuously conquered important cities and even captured Hansa City, their second capital overseas, Raikkonen remains full of confidence.

As someone responsible for intelligence gathering and analysis, he is very clear about the real situation of the war.

The comparison of strength between the two sides is not as daunting as the front line suggests, and the casualty ratio favors the Freedom Alliance. Moreover, with the blockade of maritime traffic routes, the Holy Alliance is at a disadvantage.

Just a week ago, the Nubian Kingdom’s fleet became history, along with the remnants of General Nephropidae.

Raikkonen found this naval battle somewhat incomprehensible.

Was it because of one red-haired pirate that the previously intense naval battle ended quickly?

A naval battle is not like a land battle. Although there are miracle battle examples, more often, it is the merciless crushing of the weak by the strong.

Raikkonen, of course, did not understand. Having one more red-haired pirate might be nothing, but having one more Haiyan Marshal was different.

With the complete annihilation of the Nubian navy, the naval battle lost all suspense, and the Holy Alliance could no longer get a single supply from the sea.

Their already sparse colonies became a waterless source, soon divided between the Sussex Empire and the Jin Yuan Kingdom as agreed.

Raikkonen, having detailed intelligence, sees clearly that the Wild Offensive of the Holy Alliance is their final gamble.

If they cannot shatter the Freedom Alliance in a short time and the war continues for another two or three years, the Freedom Alliance will inevitably win.

This is a victory in strategy.

But a strategic victory is not a complete victory. The Holy Alliance still has the opportunity to stake all on a single throw.

If they can break through the Rodinia Continent, annihilate the Jin Yuan Kingdom, and drive out the Sussex Empire, the situation will be different.

No matter how many overseas colonies one possesses, they cannot compare to the comprehensive advantage in resources, population, and territory of the Central Continent Rodinia. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

At that time, the best outcome would be a struggle for supremacy between two strong powers.

Raikkonen cautiously observed Roland’s expression, hoping to gain some valuable exclusive intelligence from his expression.

Unfortunately, he failed.

Roland only slightly frowned, showing no more expressions.

The Lord Governor must be contemplating how to shatter the enemy’s gamble! Raikkonen thought silently.

As one of Roland’s earliest confidants, he preferred to call him the Governor.

Raikkonen did not know that Roland’s mind was a blank.

He understood the normal trend of war, could say that everything was under control, appearing disadvantaged but actually with infinite advantage. The only thing he could not comprehend was Sofia.

Since the outbreak of war, she was present, but it was no different than if she was absent.

She neither interfered in military actions nor managed political logistics, simply watching.

After Suvorov’s death, she did not even appoint a new Allied Commander-in-Chief.

Everyone wants to know what exactly Sofia intends to do.

Is she waiting for the last day to kill all the opposing Transcendents?

It sounds absurd, but this seems to be the most logical inference.

Based on the currently obtained intelligence, Roland could only come to this conclusion.

It was so ridiculous that Roland didn’t even know how to ridicule it.

After a long silence, he slowly asked, "What does the Marshal think?"

"She is constructing the Holy Spring Defense Line. She said this is the last stronghold and must not allow a step back," Raikkonen said softly.

She greatly admired Christine’s ability but was equally shaken by her coldness.

He instinctively wanted to leave this dangerous person.

"The Holy Spring Defense Line?" Roland nodded, indicating understanding.

Christine has faith in Light because she can listen to the Divine Oracle from the Goddess.

The Holy Spring is a Miracle and cannot be handed over to anyone.

Defending at the Holy Spring for the last time is indeed quite insightful. The originally badly injured warriors drink the Holy Spring water and stand up vigorously to continue fighting, boosting morale greatly with such miracle.

Similarly, the enemy’s morale will quickly collapse.

They would feel they are fighting against God, destined to have no chance of winning.

Even standing from a God’s perspective, Roland couldn’t think of a better option. Although the miracle of the Holy Spring would make Christine’s position among believers irreplaceable, he had no choice.

If you believe, then trust fully.

First, go through the Day of Return, then think about other matters.

After much pondering, Roland gently reminded, "Raikkonen, please inform the Marshal that for as long as one is alive, there are infinite possibilities, but once dead, everything is over. If Sofia acts herself, please come to find me immediately."

Although Christine has received the blessing of the Goddess of Light, she is by no means Sofia’s match.
