In the Name of Empress-Chapter 547 - 336: Your Water Blocks Your Ice (Part 2)
Angelina almost got angry enough to lose her composure at Roland’s words.
Is that even human speech?
Regular people would feel ashamed to gang up on fewer enemies at the same level, even too embarrassed to mention it. Not only did this shameless man Roland propose it openly, but he also stated it so righteously, as if it were a universal truth.
Just as she was about to mock Roland, she suddenly remembered the earlier mishap and immediately held her tongue.
In terms of debate, ten of her couldn’t match Roland.
To engage in reasoning now would only create chaos for Sofia.
Having already caused trouble once, Angelina decided to transform into a little mute and said nothing at all.
Her silence made Roland slightly surprised.
He, who had just made a shameless declaration, even cast a look of approbation at Angelina.
Compared to the Angelina captured in Val City, she had indeed grown now.
Using her instability to launch a verbal bombardment and incidentally affect Sofia was the strategy Roland and Sif adopted earlier.
In fact, from the very start when the two major factions went to war, Roland was plotting this final battle.
He leveraged the Holy Alliance’s need to attack urgently, continuously consuming the enemy’s strength on the battlefield, causing the power comparison to tilt unfavorably for them.
Although several cities were lost on the battlefield, including the overseas temporary capital Hansa, the exchange ratio always favored the Freedom Alliance.
With the destruction of Nubia’s navy and the establishment of a naval blockade, the seemingly favorable situation for the Holy Alliance belied a lengthening supply line, acute domestic contradictions, and constantly depleting human resources.
His plan finally came to fruition.
Sofia had no choice but to intervene personally to bridge the gap on the frontline.
He achieved that.
But at the cost of hundreds of thousands of soldiers bleeding out on the battlefield, almost draining the treasury’s resources, and Christine’s slumbering ice sculpture.
He paid every possible price to ensure Sofia couldn’t ascend the mountain at full strength.
Facing Roland’s challenge, which knew no bounds, Sofia’s expression was very calm, with even an added touch of appreciation in her demeanor.
Her voice softened, asking lightly, "Since the abolition of the Continental Treaty, have all you done been for today’s decisive battle?"
"No, it started even earlier. From the moment I assisted Sif in deciding on life-and-death combat with you."
Roland replied candidly.
At this point, there’s nothing he couldn’t admit.
Sofia clapped her hands, nodding with satisfaction, her lips curling into a pleasing arc.
Her smile was like glaciers melting, the warm sun of winter. Even for Roland, who faced super beauties like Sif and Alina every day, the beauty of the melting glacier struck him fiercely.
This was a beauty completely different from Sif’s.
In the moment Roland’s heart slightly quickened, Sofia suddenly said something that left him dumbfounded.
"Roland, I need you."
Wait, what kind of development is this?
Sif gripped her Long Spear tightly, her killing intent evident. Who could tolerate such a blatant attempt to poach in front of them?
Sofia ignored Sif’s killing intent and softly said, "No one in my country can plan so far ahead, or even dare to think so. If you can accept the terms and serve as Prime Minister in my country for five years, you and your loved ones can be preserved, and we can discuss other terms."
When Sofia smiled brightly, Roland even had a moment of wavering.
But the wavering was just fleeting.
Just as Sif wanted to destabilize Sofia through provocation, this was also her tactic.
Roland shook his head, raising the Sage’s Staff high while a Holy Light Shield appeared in his empty left hand, protecting all vital parts of his body.
Sofia sighed lightly, placing her hand on the hilt of her sword and closing her eyes.
Sif gave a soft shout, her toes touching the ground, her body gliding over the Flower Sea like lightning, her spear tip aiming at the closed-eyed Sofia.
Everything that needed to be said had been said; now it’s time for strength to do the talking.
The one most pleased to see Sif take action was not someone else, but Angelina herself.
As long as it came to blows, it’s fine.
Although she harbored some concern for Sofia, she still believed Sofia had a greater chance of winning.
If Christine were in a complete state, and the Soul Blood Pentagram Array were intact, perhaps Roland would have had a chance at victory, but this was an incomplete formation.
Christine’s life and soul couldn’t be absorbed, only providing Ice Attribute Power.
Thinking of this ice power stemming from Sofia, Angelina couldn’t help but laugh.
Roland, was this within your calculations?
Angelina glanced at the area around White Mountain, spotting many familiar and unfamiliar faces.
Those hidden, playing dead, retired, and those claiming not to engage in continental conflicts, the Transcendents, had unknowingly arrived at White Mountain.
These hypocritical cowards.
That’s how Angelina evaluated them.
Although Roland is cunning and shameless, he ultimately chose to face Sofia head-on.
Without even the courage to confront Sofia, how do they expect to pass the trial of the Day of Return?
Angelina looked up at the sky, seeing the increasingly conspicuous accompanying satellite even in the daytime.
Judges, open your eyes and see, those who avoid the fight should be penalized out of the game!
As Angelina silently complained, Sofia opened her eyes.
She drew her sword.
At the moment she opened her eyes and drew her sword, the world seemed to lose its color.
Before Roland, only black and white remained, not even the small red flowers across the Flower Sea and the core Ginkgo Tree were exceptions.
Roland’s heart tightened, his breathing paused.
He knew it was an illusion. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Only someone of Divine Domain could master the Law, and although Sofia was strong, she was ultimately not a God; she was just a Tier Seven Transcendent.
We are all the same!
Roland couldn’t believe his eyes. He raised the Shield, weighing whether or not to activate Divine Protection.
