The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

Roland came with 103 people and came back with 193. Is this the most powerful secret of the legendary art of war - the more you fight, the more you fight?

"Guys, speed up! We need to rush to Rivendell!" Roland said energetically.

"Then my lord... where is Rivendell?" Renault asked weakly. (In this world, Raynor is not yet the Governor of the North, and he does not yet know where Rivendell is)

"..." Roland.

"Caslow, do you know where Rivendell is?" Roland asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Ahem, how about we look at the map?" Kaslo scratched his head.

"So...we're lost again?" Roland said in disbelief.

Looking at Renault and Caslo who were affirming, several black lines hung on Roland's forehead, and he immediately covered his face. He remembered that the last time he got lost was when he was looking for Bag End in Hobbiton.

"Okay, let's look for it..." Roland sighed.

…

"This is the last elven sanctuary in the Eastern Sea, which is what people often call..." Gandalf raised his eyebrows and introduced.

"Rivendell!" Bilbo murmured, shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"Gandalf?" An elf came forward.

"Ah! Lind, I'm here to see King Elrond." Gandalf said.

"Unfortunately, King Ailon is not here." Linde said.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind everyone...

"When the thrush strikes, stand beside the gray rock. The setting sun, with the afterglow of Turin's sun, will shine on the keyhole." King Elrond took advantage of the moonlight to read the moon characters on the map.

…

Late at night, the exhausted Roland and the others were looking at the map carefully around the campfire, trying to find something. Unfortunately, there was really nothing that could be seen on the sheepskin map that looked like a stick figure.

"Sir, how about we go our own way..." Renault said helplessly.

"What are you thinking about? We still have 10 brothers with them." Roland held his head.

With Roland's current strength, he can definitely occupy a small town in the Shire region and become the emperor of the country. It's just that Roland can't bear the mission rewards of the main plot.

"Sign in to the system!" Roland looked up at the sky. It was very good. It was already past midnight.

"Sign in successfully! Reward 100 Laglang Empire Rapid Infantrymen."

"Oh my god, they are really stationing troops!" Roland said in surprise.

However, the Rapid Infantry cannot ride horses. Firstly, as infantry units, they cannot improve their combat effectiveness by riding horses. Secondly, Roland's war horse reserve is almost exhausted...

Roland chose to summon these 100 infantrymen, and sure enough, after a while, dense footsteps were heard in the distance, and the vigilant Battanian archers had already opened their bows.

"You guys, just relax." Roland rolled his eyes at the nervous crowd. No group of wandering orcs would attack an army composed entirely of professionals, unless it was an army of orcs.

"Sir! We have been ordered to come to support!" The neatly lined-up Swift Stream infantry clenched their fists and hammered their chests. The memory given to them by the system stated that they came from the Shire region to support their lords. Of course, Lagrand's last words lord.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's all rest." Roland waved his hand, and someone immediately came up to help set up the tent. Everything went on in an orderly manner.

Roland carefully looked at the Swift Infantry. This was the first time he had carefully observed this unit. This is the infantry with the largest number in the Lagrang Empire. Because they are not professionals, they are just infantry armed by ordinary people. They are simply cannon fodder in the game. cannon fodder, but obviously not now!

Thanks to the strong national power of the Lagran Empire, even the ordinary infantry is extremely well-equipped (relatively speaking). The recruitment area of ​​this infantry is in the Rapid River Basin, so this infantry is called the Rapid Infantry. They are A unit between light infantry and heavy infantry. They wear fine iron barrel helmets, are lined with leather armor, and have chain armor on the outside. They hold a 5-meter-long horse-repelling spear and carry a full-body shield inlaid with iron leather. , with a fine steel mace hanging on his waist, he was armed to the teeth. Unfortunately, the Rapid Infantry was not a professional and could not use its skills. If they faced an equal number of infantry professionals, even those at the apprentice level, they would be slaughtered.

…

With the sky clear and the light shining high, Roland set off with a large number of people. Well, no, it was going in circles...

"Everyone disperse! Find the elves! What the hell, I can't find the elves even if I can't find Rivendell?" Roland had an idea.

"It's so high! It's so high! It's so high!" Kaslo quickly flattered him.

Renault covered his face. This lord is so serious. It's so embarrassing. It's the first time I've seen someone get lost and kidnap someone to ask for directions...

At this time, Linde was leading a group of 10 elf cavalry on patrol. They climbed over the hills, stepped over the creek, walked through the grass, and then... were surrounded. Nearly 300 people surrounded them with weapons drawn from all directions. Linde When I first saw it, I was heartbroken. The most novices here were the rapid infantry, but the forest of 5-meter-long horse-repelling rifles was too unfriendly. The heavily armored archer knights wandering around the periphery look difficult to mess with (the Battanian shooters are simply too confusing after riding on their horses), and the knights in full plate armor with steel lances are probably one round away. If you want to charge yourself, you will have to hunt them down in the ground.

Thinking of this, Lind galloped forward and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do? Are humans going to violate the covenant? This is Rivendell!"

"Pfft!" Someone couldn't hold it back.

Roland's eyes also twitched. He looked at this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and rushed out with a face filled with indignation. He thought he was going to challenge him to a duel or something. Who knew that this kid was just here to pull off the tiger's skin and try to pull the flag.

"Okay, we're looking for Rivendell! Catch him!" Roland rubbed his hands.

"Okay! Look at it!" Casro, the loyal bitch, smiled ferociously and led everyone around.

"Ah! Despicable humans!"

"Wucao, don't slap me in the face!"

…

"Sir! Duti sneaked back." Kasluo said happily.

"Poof!" Renault was shocked by the scene in front of him.

"Hell, what did you do to them?" Roland asked, pointing to the 11 pig heads in front.

"Well, aren't they resisting? We can't kill people..." Kaslo said embarrassedly.

"The shark is in the nest! The shark is in the nest!" Linde said unclearly.

"Uh, let go..." Roland turned around, his shoulders shaking continuously. After a while, Roland turned around.

"Hello, may I ask how to get to Rivendell." Roland suppressed a smile and looked at the "pig head" in front of him.

"Ni Sha Ni Wo! Wo can't handle mud at high speeds!" Linde said angrily.

"What should I do, sir?" Renault shrugged helplessly.

"Everyone is on alert! Wait for other elves to come and look for them. A patrol team is missing. I don't believe the elves didn't respond." Roland sighed.

"Okay!" Renault took the order and left to set up.
