Seeing Roland's hesitant expression, she quickly changed the subject, "By the way, tell about that devout believer, I'm curious about her."
Roland breathed a sigh of relief and used his eyes to express his gratitude to Christine for her thoughtfulness.
Christine was referring to Erin.
To be fair, her faith was even firr than Christine's.
She even moved the Goddess, prompting the Goddess to bestow Divine Power.
Roland took out the crystal ball that recorded the battlefield situation and handed it to Christine.
Like a video recorder, the crystal ball also has a limited lifespan.
The advantage of the crystal ball is its high clarity, 3D high-definition with no blind spots, but its downside is that it can only be played a very limited number of tis.
Christine took the crystal ball with both hands, infused it with the Power of Light, and the crystal ball slowly activated.
The brutal battlefield unfolded before Christine's eyes.
With just one glance, she was infuriated.
"Who is the idiot commanding this?"
She couldn't stand anyone missing opportunities or giving reckless orders on the battlefield.
As she cleared her throat, ready to start her tirade, she caught a glimpse of Roland's strange expression, and her heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, could that idiot be Roland?
She cleared her throat lightly, trying to think of a way to bail Roland out.
Before she could speak, Roland had already elegantly shifted the bla.
"The Sea Empress was responsible for the command."
"I knew it, you've been with for so many years, you couldn't be this incompetent. These idiots from the Ocean World treat warfare like hunting, cluelessly rushing in!"
Since it wasn't Roland, Christine had no qualms about unleashing her critique.
She unhesitatingly pointed out the biggest issue of the battle.
The strategic objectives were chaotic, which could be charitably described as adaptable, but frankly, it was just disorderly command.
She patiently detailed the command issues in the battle plan, causing Roland to break out in a cold sweat.
Although the battle was commanded by Catherine, his military skill was on par with hers.
If he had been in command, it might have been a little better, but not by much.
The surprise attack on Divine Punishnt Island was ultimately decided by the battle between Transcendents, not battlefield command.
Roland, sowhat unconvinced, spoke up for Catherine.
"Actually, the key to victory in this battle wasn't here."
Christine didn't like hearing that.
She solemnly tapped the table with her fingers, "Will the Goddess and Sea Emperor appear in every war?"
"If neither of them showed up, this victory wasn't guaranteed."
"Anyway, there's still ti, let's have an exhilarating war ga."
War ga? Spare .
Roland wanted to concede imdiately, but under Christine's serious and eager gaze, he chose to surrender.
Oh well, it's not the first ti I've been crushed, one more ti won't hurt.
At the pinnacle of any field, talent is what matters.
Hard work is certainly useful, but it's just a way to realize talent. Without talent, what can hard work achieve?
So people, without a day of military school, can force the surrender of three thousand defeated warlords with just a few hundred students in their debut battle.
So people, in their first command, can inflict an epic defeat like the Battle of Changping.
Roland wasn't particularly talented in military strategy, but at least he was a military history enthusiast before his transmigration, so he wasn't entirely useless.
Under Christine's tutelage, his command level was roughly...
Between a satisfactory and good tactical commander.
This was Christine's objective evaluation of him.
Roland and Christine switched roles, each playing the human land-sea coalition and the Divine Punishnt Legion.
The result was not surprising.
The coalition and the Divine Punishnt Legion fought to a draw, with Christine defeating Roland 2:0.
Joking aside, once in the military realm, Christine never held back.
After being thoroughly educated twice, Christine finally let Roland go.
Before Roland took his leave, she left him with a seemingly random remark.
"Rember to call next ti. Transcendents are extrely valuable, and I don't want them wasted by an idiot commander."
"If there's nothing else, hurry and leave, I have to pray."
Christine didn't look at Roland throughout; she just gazed up at the do, her voice soft, but she knew Roland could hear her.
Roland nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart.
He never doubted Christine's devotion, so he also knew that the Goddess would always rank first in Christine's heart.
Today, he ca bracing himself for a reprimand, hoping it wouldn't be too harsh.
Unexpectedly, Christine didn't lash out.
Perhaps she was changing too?
Before leaving the Prayer Room, Roland boldly brought up a topic he would never dare touch before.
"Light doesn't belong to any individual; it belongs to the entire world, to all living beings. Gods can represent the Light, which is why they are Gods."
This was sowhat blasphemous, but Christine didn't react.
Unlike those who profess devotion but speak nonsense, she was very familiar with the classic texts.
This sentence was on the front page of Goddess Tiya's work, the "Book of Light."
But only in the full edition was it on the front page, only in her pre-Ascension works was it there.
After gaining promotion eligibility to the Divine Domain, this sentence permanently disappeared.
Christine only saw the original manuscript by chance after becoming Pope.
This sentence shocked her as if a nuclear bomb exploded in her mind.
To be fair, there was nothing wrong with the sentence itself; it would surely inspire the lower-level believers if quoted in a speech.
The problem was that Tiya deleted this phrase right after her Ascension to Divinity.
Before Ascension, questioning the Gods.
After Ascension, blocking the questioning path for successors.
This kind of thing happened countless tis in reality, Roland did it too.
But Roland was an ordinary person; Tiya was a Goddess.
