Solution and Explanation

(i) Change into indirect speech:
The given sentence is: 
Robert: Where is she now?
In indirect speech, it would be: 
Robert asked where she was then. Note that "is" changes to "was" because the reporting verb is in the past tense, and the question word "Where" remains the same. 
(ii) Rewrite as an Affirmative sentence:
The given sentence is: 
I shall not want many soldiers.
To rewrite this as an affirmative sentence, we remove the negation "not" and write: 
I will want many soldiers.

 Final Answers: 
(i) Robert asked where she was then. 
(ii) I will want many soldiers.
