In the Name of Empress-Chapter 620 - 359: Skipped!

If Roland could hear Meinette's words, he would probably burst into laughter.

Create miracles?

If Sofia is in the shadows providing support, and he still can't capture a few lucky escaping Darklings, that would indeed be a miracle, a miracle created by the Darklings.

What he needs to do is simple: stay steady and don't take risks.

The combat prowess of a High Tier Shadow Councilor had already been experienced at the Arctic Glacier.

Very strong, but manageable.

If not forming an array, one-on-one, they are not stronger than him.

Both being Tier Five, the High Tier Shadow Councilor is a strong fighter, having emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the Dark Side, but Roland and Christine rose to their rank over equals in the Battle of White Mountain.

Anyone who survived the fourth Reversion Day at the White Mountain qualifiers is no weakling.

At least thirty percent of the Darkling's combat power comes from their stealth abilities.

Regardless of strength, Darklings like to hide in the shadows and ambush.

Unfortunately for them, they encountered someone more proficient at ambushes, Roland.

This time it was Roland's turn to hide in the shadows, secretly observing them.

Under Meinette's cover, Roland and Christine disguised themselves and used their prepared identities to quietly approach the potential Secondary Darklings.

Christine had an unusually keen sense for Dark attributes; under her discerning eye, all that was dark was laid bare.

In just three days, she marked more than seventy Secondary Darklings and five true Darklings.

The widespread distribution of these Dark pawns, from Marshals to Cabinet Ministers to young junior officers, even surprised Roland.

It's not even the Kingdom of Tirol anymore; it's entirely a Darkling outpost.

If not for Queen Sisi rashly attacking Sofia, and if not for Sofia launching a counterattack in fury, had they been given a few more years to hide and develop, things would have been dire.

Fortunately, discovery was timely.

There's still a chance for remedy.

Roland couldn't mobilize the army, couldn't use mobile units, and he also preferred not to bother Sofia.

How, with just the power of himself and Christine, could they clear out all the Darklings?

To this, Christine, the expert in dispelling darkness, gave a clear answer.

"Impossible, completely unachievable."

"First, we can defeat High Tier Councilors, but killing them is difficult. Secondly, these Secondary Darklings have been corrupted by the Seed of Darkness, they cannot turn back. Lastly, even if we could annihilate the enemy, why would they gather for us to kill?"

Christine didn't want to crush Roland's mad plan, but she still slowly shook her head, trying to awaken Roland with cold facts.

But Roland had a different idea.

"Indeed, under normal circumstances, it's impossible, but what if the crack is attacked?"

"Christine, we need not bother with those Secondary Darklings for now. As long as the crack is risked, there are ways to deal with them; we only have to contend with two High Tier Councilors and their guards."

Roland's eyes burned with a wild intensity, calmly saying, "Even if there is just the possibility of the crack being destroyed, they wouldn't dare stand idly by."

He gestured for Christine to come closer, not speaking, but instead using his fingertips in the air to sketch out the plans.

After all, this was a Darkling outpost; mentioning specific keywords too frequently might attract attentions from the void.

Seeing Roland's plan drawn in the air, Christine fell silent.

Roland's plan was rather simple: disguised as a Divine Envoy, she would launch a Holy Impact on the crack, disturbing the surrounding space.

Once the space around the crack was destroyed, spatial turbulence would form.

The good news was that the Darklings definitely wouldn't be able to come through; the bad news was nobody knows what completely random events might occur once turbulence forms.

If the luck were completely terrible, it might even temporarily form an unstable passage leading to the Divine Domain.

While proper strong individuals wouldn't dare easily step into chaotic space cracks, Outer Demon Gods can't enter material planes other than their birthplace, but it was still some crazy stuff.

If there happened to be some Tier Three or higher evil strong individual fleeing in a desperate life-threatening chase, plunging into the crack in a moment of desperation, it would be a disaster for the entire plane.

Even though Christine knew Roland was crazy, she was still taken aback by Roland's wildness.

Unable to help it, she stared at Roland, coldly asking, "Are you serious?"

"Very serious. I know you don't want to accept Sofia's help. This is the best option after refusing her assistance."

Christine fell silent. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

So Roland wasn't insane, just premiering this staged act because he worried she couldn't accept it.

She let out a soft sigh, "I understand. Are you sure Sofia can step in in time? I will be exposed to everyone when causing space disturbance."

The Pope of Light dismantling the Dark Base Camp and exposing would have obvious consequences.

She trusted Roland, entrusting him with the choice.

And Roland likewise placed his bet on Sofia.

Reversion Day is the peak showdown of returning strong individuals, moreover, a life-or-death racing game.

Swift in one step, and it's possible to be swift in every step.

If not for the pressure of Reversion Day, naturally, the safer course would be to mobilize the coalition forces to garrison Tirol, capture suspicious individuals in one fell swoop, block the crack, and then find a way to seal it.

No matter if the Darkling scouts escape or resist doggedly, the outcome remains similar.

Even if they were pressed into demolishing the crack directly, with the Rodinia Alliance's abundance of strong individuals, it could still be suppressed.

But now there was no time.

Mobilizing troops and experts requires coordinating various relations, needing time.

As long as the intelligence system of the Kingdom of Tirol was not as incompetent as the former Sussex Military Intelligence Bureau, suspicions would surely be uncovered.

By then it would be a series of tough battles.

Although victory was in hand, the losses would be immeasurable.

Resources and time are very precious, not to be wasted.
