Faced with this question, Roland was stunned at first, and then he could not help but raise the corner of his mouth. "You seem to have something else to say?"
Because it concerns the survival of everyone, we hope that every decision can be fully considered, so... Taquila proposes a joint governance system. In the united front, the leaders of the most powerful groups would jointly negotiate and issue orders, which could effectively avoid wrong judgments and ensure that all parties had the same interests.
"Hmm... sounds like the Three Chiefs system of the Union."
Three was a suitable number. It could achieve a better balance between the speed of decision-making and the unity of decision-making. Of course, considering the current Four Kingdoms and the witch organizations, it was not necessary to use the Three Chiefs to make decisions. For example, in the early days of the Union, a round-table parliament composed of 11 leaders made up a battle plan. The ancient witch explained.
"This is undoubtedly a smart decision," Roland thought. Except for Neverwinter, the rest of the human kingdoms, the Witch Union, and Sleeping Island, could not have an advantage over the Taquila survivors in terms of strength. The more than 100 perfect God's Punishment Soldiers did not seem to be a lot, but when faced with ordinary troops and witches, their combat effectiveness was almost overwhelming. In addition, they had fought fiercely with the demons for decades, so they could be said to be rich in actual combat experience. Moreover, they had inherited the magic relics of the underground civilization, so they could be regarded as a force that could not be ignored.
If the seats were arranged according to strength, they would definitely occupy a seat in the decision-making group. After that, as long as they maintained communication with other witch organizations and strengthened the natural sense of identity, they could ensure the interests of the Taquila.
They might not have any other plans, such as restoring the dominant position of the witches, or turning against the human kingdoms and so on. It was just a cautious act of self-preservation, which was the demand of almost any organization before joining a large group. If it were the new Roland, he might have agreed, but now he was no longer the Prince who had just taken over the position of lord and only governed a small Border Town.
"Interesting proposal, but the united front will not implement a joint governance system. It will only have one leader, and that's me. " Roland said in an indisputable tone, "This is the most efficient and the most stable way."
Modesty was a virtue, but now was definitely not the time for modesty. The Three-Leader Co-governance might be a good choice for the Union, but it was definitely not the case for him.
In this world, he was the only one who understood what was needed for industrialization and how to bring out the greatest potential of the territory.
In order to build this framework, all the departments had to become a unified machine, a qualified screw. The orders from City Hall had to be sent to every citizen unimpeded, and the resources had to be coordinated and allocated. If all the policies had to be explained to the other seats, or if the participants whose interests were at stake were to be persuaded, industrialization would not be able to take a big step forward.
Probably because his refusal was too direct, the scene became silent for a while. Even the ancient witches were stunned and did not say a word for a long time.
Roland cleared his throat and said, "A united front is indeed a guarantee against the demons, but I didn't ask you to join in the first place. Moving to the Western Region is just a basis for building trust. Compared with these verbal agreements, I hope you can see it with your own eyes... "
Look … at what?
"The strength and determination of Neverwinter to fight against the demons, as well as the organizations that have joined us or not, their interests and current situation. On the basis of a full understanding, you can make a free choice, "Roland said frankly. "Even if you can't make up your mind, we can carry out the most basic cooperation, such as looking for the Chosen One, providing experimental materials, and so on, as long as we don't interfere with each other's policies."
"It's the same even if we don't give you the relics and magic cores?" Celine interrupted.
"It's the same." Roland nodded. "In fact, I never intended to defeat the demons with the relics. As for the relics of the gods, as long as they are placed in a place where both sides can ensure their safety, I can accept it. As I said before, looking for the Chosen One and ensuring the safety of the relics is the most basic trust. As for the other things, we can cultivate them slowly. "
"I admit that you're extraordinary, mortal." The cold voice from before once again appeared in everyone's mind, but have you ever thought that if one person is in charge of the united front, it means that there is no room for succession? If the Battle of Divine Will lasts for decades, when you're exhausted, will your descendants still be able to follow your will and continue to lead the people forward? Only a joint governance system can effectively avoid these problems! "
"I don't think you need to worry about this. Let's not talk about whether the demons can hold on for so long, I'm afraid my lifespan will be longer than all of you combined." Roland did not know whether Zero's lifespan would be inherited by him. After all, her magic power was not preserved, but at this moment, he felt that it was necessary to bluff. Rather than using a system that he had never heard of to convince the other party that the successor's will would not change, it was better to directly explain everything with an unimaginable ability.
After a brief description of the characteristics of the Soul Battlefield, coupled with the unanimous approval of the witches, the living room fell into a long silence.
He saw the tentacles of the sarcoma entangled again, and the scales on its body changed from grayish-brown to brown with a hint of red. Obviously, the debate had entered the most intense stage.
After a long time, the tentacles dropped down.
"I see." Pasha's voice became much more serious. "But there are too many things to move in the ruins, which can't be accommodated by any random cave, so this process will take about a month." "In addition, we also need to rebuild the underground palace and laboratory in the Western Mountain Range. I hope you can provide some materials for us."
"Wait, how are you going to do this?" Roland was a little surprised. At first, he had planned to let Lotus connect the countless holes in the underground and give them a simple shelter. After all, it was dark and damp underground, and the bodies of the Taquila survivors were not in the category of human beings, so they should not have too many requirements for the living environment. However, it seemed that the other party had amazing construction skills and was planning to build a new palace in the mountain rocks.
