Roland's suggestion just touched their bottom line.
Not one bit more, not one bit less.
Either sacrifice some autonomy to secure an unbreakable alliance, or face the giant bear alone.
Thinking of the formidable and invincible Sofia of the Rurik People, they all felt a bit frightened.
When people fall into the water, they instinctively grasp at anything they can touch, even if it's just a straw that can't save them.
They could only hope that Roland was not a straw but a life buoy.
In any case, they had no choice.
Although there was no choice, the old general Vichy still held some ground.
Although the Jin Yuan Kingdom had lost many generals, their tradition in the army far exceeded that of the Sussex Empire.
At least they could compete for the actual command of the allied forces.
He was very clear that Roland would focus his energy on personal strength enhancement and global control, delegating specific military command to capable generals.
