The episode was simple and rather oriented to the next developments of the story rather than only explaining how kingdoms are functionning...

It could be Atlas behind Cinder, but rather than Ironwood, his trusted No 2, maybe with a good intention to simply create a conflict and stop it with their robots, showing how Ironwood's creations are powerful... But that's not where Cinder, a former skilled student he would have hired for that, will stop. She probably has something bigger than that in mind...

And RWBY has the potential to unite everyone and it will definitely be useful...
