Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

"!!!"

"What...."

As soon as Fina finished speaking, most of the people in the conference room became extremely frightened and looked at each other with surprise and uneasiness in their eyes.

As for William and the others, they closed their eyes and chuckled, inevitably showing an air of triumph.

They couldn't help but be surprised by their attitude. In fact, even Hill was a little surprised.

The Freedom Shield Mercenary Group... is equivalent to Fina's dependents. You should know that she wanted to be the leader of this group before, but Fina said back: Go build it yourself.

It is conceivable how important the Freedom Shield Mercenaries are to Fina.

At least until now, the title of "Captain" is still very useful to her, and everyone has selfish desires. Fina's selfish desires are used in the construction of the Freedom Shield Mercenary Group...

In addition, this kind of dependent troops also represents another meaning. Why are there only two factions, Hill and Fina, in Shield of Liberty? Why are there only the two of them?

Because only they have the most basic qualifications to establish a faction. The emergence of a force must have its own subordinate families. Behind Fina are the mercenary groups led by the Shield of Freedom, and behind Hill are the believers of Slaughter who come from all directions.

The two together constitute the two largest forces in the Free City today, but now, Fina has handed the Freedom Shield Mercenary Group over to Hill...

Even though Hill is still nominally a member of the Freedom Shield Mercenaries, but... who would believe it?

"Lady Fina..."

Obviously, among those who didn't trust, there were still some who dared to speak at this time. For example, Emily, who had been silent beside Fina, slowly spoke under the expectant gazes of everyone:

"Hundreds of thousands of troops (including logistics) on the westward expedition are almost the foundation of the Shield of Liberty, and management is even more complicated..."

She paused halfway through her speech, then quietly came to Fina, her eyes serious: "I once served as an assistant to Lord Qiongnu for a period of time, maybe... I can help Lord Hill."

"call...."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers' originally tense hearts suddenly settled down and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though there are still some people who are against sending troops, but now that the matter has been decided, then... at least Hill cannot be allowed to control the army without any constraints!

Having someone on Fina's side can at least prevent the other party from showing their ambitions...

"....I have already said that Hill has full authority."

However, after a moment of silence, Fina immediately shook her head decisively: "You can discuss this matter with her yourself."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone who had originally breathed a sigh of relief was stunned, and became nervous again, looking at Emily again.

"I see," Emily just smiled, nodded slightly, and looked at Hill again: "Lord Hill, what do you think?"

"........."

Hill had been observing silently from beginning to end. She looked at Emily quietly with her eyes slightly narrowed.

She didn't have much interaction with this person, they were just a nodding acquaintance, so it was understandable that Emily was wary of her.

After all, even Alice, who “doesn’t care about worldly affairs”, had expressed her concerns to her because of some rumors, and indirectly told her to treat Fina with more “respect for the king and his subjects”…

Fina's performance at this time is quite interesting.

Is it really "trust your employees" or is it just for her to see...

Hill was a little unsure at this time. Based on her understanding of Fina, this straightforward person should not react so quickly and act out such a scene. However... to be able to sit at the center of power and have so many people loyal to her, has Fina not grown up?

Most likely, it's both...

She sighed, thought about it, shook her head, and finally decided not to think too much about it. She looked into Emily's eyes and said, "You just mentioned Qiong Nu...really? Then who do you think our opponent will be in this battle?"

"...It is most likely Lord Qiongnu..." Emily was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and answered in a gentle voice.

"If he had stayed in the Free City, this battle would have only required 20,000 men, but he went back and made preparations to make us bleed dry in the Orc Territory."

Hill stared at Emily and said, "Do you think I should pay for your personal feelings again?"

"........."

When she said this, even Fina couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

After all, Hill's "again" was obviously referring to the fact that he deliberately gave Qiongnu a chance to escape yesterday...

It seems that Hill knows everything, but he just didn't say it...

"Public is public, private is private,"

Emily's expression was as calm as usual: "Since Lord Qiongnu is an ambassador, we will treat him with kindness. If he were an enemy, we would naturally go all out."

In addition to expressing her stance to Hill and everyone else, she even secretly mentioned what happened yesterday and told Hill that Qiongnu was still the ambassador of the Orc Kingdom yesterday, and letting him go was not a personal relationship, but normal diplomacy.

After all, not everyone is like Hill's followers, pragmatic, and doesn't care about the means to win...

"Lord Hill, I think that if the Clan Alliance of the Orc Kingdom does not mind Lord Qiongnu's personal relationship with us, then you may not mind my past friendship with him, right?"

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued to look at Hill: "Now, I want to assist Lady Fina wholeheartedly..."

"........."

The conference room suddenly fell silent.

All the ministers looked at Hill nervously, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Emily did not back down. Instead, her words seemed to be aimed at forcing Hill to abdicate, leaving him with no choice, both emotionally and logically.

"........."

Hill was silent for an unknown amount of time before he slowly looked away. Suddenly he remembered something and subconsciously looked towards Fina.

"........."

In his sight, Fina had been silent. He didn't know when she had been looking at him quietly. When he found himself looking at her, he nodded calmly.

"........."

Hill was helpless. After sighing, he looked at Emily again and said, "Please coordinate the information of the garrison of the expeditionary corps and send it to my room this afternoon."

"Yes." Emily nodded immediately and answered loudly in the joyful gazes of the people, as if they were victorious.

"That's settled then,"

Seeing that everything was over, Fina cleared her throat at the right time and looked around at everyone:

"Next, please work together and prepare for the expedition!"
