The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

"What's going on?" Roland was shocked, maybe the orc army was coming to kill him...

"Your Highness! There are many people coming from the other side of the river! It looks like there are thousands of them." The soldier told Roland the truth honestly.

"I'm going! Could it be that River Valley City was bombed?" Roland jumped up. Apart from River Valley City, Roland really didn't know of any place in the north where thousands of humans could escape.

…

At this time, in the Hexi post, the knights stationed there climbed up to the wall of the post early, holding bows and arrows in their hands, nervously looking at the sea of ​​people in front of them.

"Can I meet with the lord here?" A young man with golden hair came out.

"..." The knights on the city wall remained silent. Before their lord arrived, the most correct thing to do was to keep silent.

"Huh!" Kaslo drove his four-legged flying dragon Kaldo to carry Roland here. The flying dragon landed on the top of the sentry tower, and Roland jumped down from the dragon's back.

"Your Highness, do they want to see you?" A knight came over to report to Roland.

"Meet me? Okay, let's meet." Roland nodded.

…

As the iron-clad wooden door opened a small crack, the young people outside the post quickly stepped in, and then the door was immediately closed.

"Hello, respected lord here, I am very happy to meet you. I am Bai Yi, the lord from the Cardan tribe in the northern wasteland." Bai Yi bowed and saluted. Through this outpost, you can see the extraordinaryness of the lord in front of you. The moving magic power, the fine magic lines and the mighty flying dragon knight just now all revealed the strength of the lord in front of him.

"Hello, I am Roland, the king of Lagrand Kingdom." Roland nodded in greeting.

Bai Yi raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him who was about the same age as himself was actually a king, but it made sense. After all, only a powerful kingdom could support a strategic force like the Dragon Knight. I wonder if Bai Yi will cry when he sees the real situation in Rapid City...

"So what's your purpose of coming?" Roland asked curiously.

"Um, that's it. Can we rent this outpost as our current residence?" Roland was shocked as soon as Bai Yi opened his mouth.

"What do you mean?" Roland was shocked.

"Well, our tribe was destroyed in the war in the north. We can only climb over the gray mountains and go south to avoid the attacks of the orcs in the north..." Bai Yi said embarrassedly.

"Have you been to River Valley City and Erub?" Roland suddenly asked.

"I have already visited Lord Bard of River Valley City. He wanted to keep us living there, but I refused. After all, we still hope to be independent, and my people still need my leadership." Bai Yi explained.

"Yes." Roland nodded and agreed with his statement. After all, the competition for resources between lords is population. No lord wants to merge with others. Bard has just climbed up from the grassroots not long ago, otherwise Nor would I make such rude suggestions.

Roland looked regretfully at Bai Yi in front of him, and couldn't help but sympathize with him. This idiot kid led his people just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den, and he actually asked to be Roland's barrier... Such a good person let Roland couldn't bear to be deceived.

"I'm sorry to tell you, I'm afraid you haven't escaped the orcs' attack yet." Roland looked at Bai Yi with pity, then gently took out the sheepskin map and pointed to the location of Dol Guldo.

"There is the Orc Kingdom here. King Azog, a pale Orc, is at least between level 5 and 6. Gundabad Mountain...Gambada! The Orc Fortress in the north also has an Orc Kingdom... ...Congratulations, you were successfully attacked from both sides by the orcs." Roland sighed regretfully.

"To be honest, there was a battle at the foot of Lonely Mountain not long ago, and the dwarf, human, and elven coalition lost miserably. The orcs are now planning a comeback." Roland threw another bomb.

"..." Bai Yi's eyes widened, with an expression like "I came from the countryside, I haven't read many books, don't lie to me."

"Actually, this is reality..." Roland spread his hands.

"If you really plan to stay here, this outpost can be given to you, and you can build a city here. We will never interfere with the entire land west of the Swift River, as long as you can conquer other owners of the land." Roland sat on the chair. Shang Jingping said.

"I want to know what's going on with the orcs in these places now." Bai Yi thought about it and pointed at Dol Guldo.

"What you worry about is exactly what I worry about..." Roland sighed softly.

"The knights under my command have just fought against them. They have consciously extended their tentacles to the north. Next spring at the latest..." Roland looked at Bai Yi and said nothing, but he knew that Bai Yi must understand what he meant. .

"If the orcs living here attack us, will you help us?" Bai Yi asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Of course, I understand the meaning of death. We will not stand idly by. After all, our kingdom is across the Swift River." Roland's eyes fell on the Swift River outside the window. This nearly 10 kilometers wide river became a barrier. The natural danger of an orc attack.

"We decided to stay here!" Bai Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and replied loudly.

…

"Sir, are we here for them?" Kaslo asked Roland quietly, looking at the knights who were crossing the river in batches.

"What? Are you going to let our people stay here to face the orc army?" Roland stared at Kaslo and said angrily.

"They have an advantage over our population." Roland glanced enviously at the busy northern tribesmen in front of him. There were at least nearly 3,000 people and nearly 500 soldiers. What surprised Roland most was that he actually saw nearly 40 people. A knight, I heard from Bai Yi that these were the ones left after their tribe suffered a tragic war. So should they be able to form a knighthood in their heyday?

"If there are many people, work will be faster!" Kaslo looked enviously at the people who had already brought back the felled logs and were preparing to build the log city wall.

"Don't worry, our people are returning every day." Roland comforted him with a smile.

"Sir, are you referring to the Swift River City where less than 150 people have returned in half a month? I have seen dwarves returning to Erub over the misty mountains all day long..." Kaslo said with a dark face.

"Well, after all, our wandering people are somewhat scattered..." Roland smiled awkwardly.

What Roland didn't know was that his small act of retaining White Wing today would eventually create the Kingdom of Akvia, known as the Twin Stars of the North, which is as famous as the Kingdom of River Valley, and her shaper, King White Wing, was currently building the kingdom. His first town and he was very busy.

"Okay, don't worry too much about the West Bank. Now it's time to improve our city defense. The two-meter-high city wall really doesn't feel safe at all." Roland complained.

Because of the city wall that is better than nothing, the soldiers who patrol the city wall at night in Rapid City do not patrol the city wall at night. They only patrol and watch around inhabited houses. Roland is really fed up with the dispensable city wall. Every morning after getting up, soldiers must be organized to clean up uninhabited urban areas, because in the middle of the night wild beasts and wandering orcs will climb over the city walls and hide in dilapidated houses to rest.

"Then you probably have to wait... Lord Radil is still in a period of weakness due to excessive consumption of magic power." Kaslo suddenly said weakly.

"Oh... I'm tired, let's destroy it."
