The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

"Your Highness, maybe you should come and see this!" Radil suddenly broke into Roland's tent early in the morning, his words full of excitement.

"Oh?" Roland was instantly interested.

"Chichijiji~" Pushing open the ajar door, Roland saw at a glance five little griffins crawling around in a nest made of straw. Their brown bodies, white heads, and flapping yellow-brown heads were all at once. The little wings look extremely cute, but they don't match up to their fierce image in the future! They had just opened their eyes and were full of curiosity about everything. When they saw Roland pushing the door open, the little griffons were not afraid of danger. Instead, they all propped themselves up and came to the nest, opened their mouths and screamed in anticipation of being fed.

"Lord Radil, they actually hatched? Isn't this the wrong time?" Roland's memory said that it takes at least four weeks for a gryphon to hatch. Now it should be less than two weeks before the gryphon hatches. Roland even thought his gryphon was a fake...

"Haha, I only spent two weeks on the way here..." Radil smiled and touched his beard.

"Oh, no wonder!" Roland suddenly realized.

"Your Highness should consider training gryphon knights, and finding suitable knights for them should also be put on the agenda." Radil looked at Roland with admiration, and his heart was filled with joy.

"Yes, it's time to think about the gryphon knights." Roland said thoughtfully. After all, it is best to train knights from an early age. The gryphon is a very loyal beast. They usually It will only recognize its first master or the heir entrusted by the master. During their hundreds of years of life, they will always follow their original master to fight and live together. After the master's death, they will accompany the master's heirs. Live and fight until you die, so a griffon can usually create a family of sky knights that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Therefore, the candidates for the knights of these 5 griffins need to be rigorously reviewed, although the people and soldiers under the rule are now I am 100% loyal to Roland, but in the future it will be hard to say if the business becomes bigger and the territory expands!

By the way, the life span of the Raglan people is as long as that of the Númenóreans. Of course, it is slightly shorter than the Númenóreans. They can live two to three hundred years, so if nothing unexpected happens, a griffon It is enough for a Sky Knight family to last for three generations.

"Caslo!" Roland found Caslo who was feeding the flying dragon. As soon as the latter looked up, he saw Roland walking happily towards him with steps that he didn't recognize his relatives.

"Sir! What happened to you that made you happy?" Kasluo saw the excitement on Roland's face at a glance.

"The griffins have hatched, and we can find knights for them." Roland said happily.

"That's a good thing. In the next year we will have five gryphon knights to use! Finally, I don't have to rely on myself to guard the sky." Kaslo let out a sigh of relief.

"As a flying dragon knight, you should be able to train a griffon knight, right?" Roland looked at Kaslo up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Sir, you are looking down on others... Except for the dragon knight, training other air knights is not the same!" Kaslo suddenly became furious. In the professional field of aerial combat, except for the dragon knight, Kaslo But no one is convinced. Who dares to say that he can defeat him? Are you afraid that you haven’t experienced the despair on Fei Longqi’s face?

"So confident? As far as I know, the Holy Light Pegasus Knight seems to be no weaker than the Flying Dragon Knight..." Roland suddenly said something faintly.

"Oh no! Sir, how many years have the Holy Light Pegasus been extinct? How can a creature whose bones have become brittle still exist?" Kaslo immediately quit. The sacred attributes of the Holy Light Pegasus make them not weaker than flying dragons. It's a pity that The racial base is flawed, and in the end it seems that it has been exterminated by itself. The main reason is that the wild Holy Light Pegasus is too scattered, and you may never meet another Holy Light Pegasus of the opposite sex in your life...

"Don't tell me, maybe there will be a Holy Light Pegasus Knight returning in the future." Roland smiled mysteriously. He believed that with his system, he should... probably get the allegiance of the Holy Light Pegasus Knight.

"Uh..." Kaslo scratched his head in disbelief.

"Okay, you go ahead and select a suitable candidate among the children of the villagers." Roland handed over this task to Kaslo. After all, this is a slow process.

After sending Kaslo away, Roland was about to find some work, but found that he had been pulled up by Mr. Radil this morning and had forgotten to sign in. He could only stand in the military camp and sign in.

"System sign in!"

"Sign in successfully! Congratulations to the host for receiving the recruitment of light infantry*500."

"Oh no! Good guy!" Roland was immediately startled. Suddenly, a reward for 500 troops appeared. Roland was shocked. You must know that Roland took 500 troops to participate in the Gushan War. This time Directly resurrected Roland with full blood!

"Wait? Recruiting light infantry? I'll go! Can the system be changed? It can be replaced with 100 rapid infantry..." Roland took a closer look and became speechless...

What does recruiting light infantry mean? At best, they are urgently recruited light infantry, at worst, they are militias... If the rapid infantry are cannon fodder, they can only be regarded as human obstacles on the battlefield. They have no combat experience, and their weapons and equipment are extremely poor. ...Of course, what can you expect as an ordinary person who was recruited on an emergency basis.

Roland was just thinking about it when suddenly the sentry on the city wall behind him suddenly reported that a large wave of refugees was running towards the city, and then several knights rode out to intercept and investigate. (Thanks to the fact that the military camp was built against the east wall, the garrison in the city could quickly scale the city wall or leave the city to intercept.)

"Drive!" The knight who had just left the city rode back.

"Your Highness! They are the Empire's conscripted light infantry! I can't believe there are still Empire-conscripted soldiers wandering outside to form an organization!" The knight looked surprised.

…

"Boom!" After a chaotic collision, the light infantrymen finally knelt down in front of Roland. Roland's mouth twitched. This is worse than the one in the game! How are these soldiers in front of me? What's the difference between them and armed refugees? No wonder the sentries would recognize them as a refugee flow...

Roland carefully looked at the conscripted infantry in front of him, and couldn't help but look disappointed. Let’s talk about the armor first. Not to mention the iron armor on his body, he didn’t even have the leather armor... The good guy just ran away naked! This is even poorer than Azog's orc army. There are also very few weapons. There is no weapon except a 60 cm long iron one-handed sword...

Roland couldn't help but look up at the sky. This was taking his light clothing to the extreme! How light is this? The light armor in his impression consisted of leather armor and an iron helmet, as well as long swords as weapons, and finally a leather round shield...

On this day, Roland felt the malice of the system, and understood that the gap between light and heavy equipment was so big...
