Roland safely arrived in Lutèce, and a report of his arrival reached the desk of the Dictator within an hour.
"The operation was quite swift, huh."
That was the extent of his reaction.
Without utilizing the spies embedded in Lutèce, he still had means to monitor Roland's every move. Nevertheless, it would have been too unnatural to do so. In order to protect his trump cards, it was acceptable to occasionally sacrifice some less important pawns. Fortunately, the spies in place had not been exposed so far, and there was no need for reinforcements at the moment. To have an understanding of the situation over there was as good as it could get.
However—
"...It was still lacking a bit."
Li Lin murmured softly as he skimmed through the report at ten lines per glance.
What he was referring to wasn't the efficiency of the spies but the moment when Ymir confronted Roland.
Li Lin did not underestimate Roland.
