The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

Chapter 728 Good things happen one after another

"When autumn comes, we will have a better life!" Ymir said to Ishmir.

"In autumn, animals will come out to look for food, and those monsters will appear more frequently. The most important thing is that the leaves fall and those creatures have nowhere to hide, so we can hunt more prey!" Ymir said, looking at Ishmir's puzzled look. How powerful are the Senate Guards riding armored earth dragons? No one knows, but they will see it this autumn!

"That's right, we urgently need the fur of monsters and scales and other wild animals!" Ishmir nodded. King Roland will support him once, but he can't support him every day. Otherwise, what is the meaning of his existence as a noble? Ask the kingdom for money every day?

...

"Thank you for the supplies, Your Highness! Say hello to Your Highness for me!" Apophis Breo touched his chest and said humbly to the dragon knight who delivered the goods to his door. He understood the principle of "a man who has received a favor will be grateful to him". Apophis Breo slid down to his knees in the face of King Roland's abundant supplies, and he wanted to hold Roland's stinky feet and call him daddy immediately. Although Rivendell was responsible for most of the resources needed for the reconstruction of the Lion Territory, it did not prevent Apophis Breo from receiving Roland's supplies as reserves, especially Roland's support of 200,000 arrows this time! These arrows solved Apophis Breo's big problem. Facing the Lion Territory that had lost the protection of the city wall fortress, the wild beasts running around in the Misty Mountains became the biggest problem of the Lion Territory.

With these arrows, Apophis Breo could organize militias and hunters to hunt wild beasts without having to invest precious troops in the mountains and forests to fight with wild beasts.

"Thank God! Dragon God bless! With this batch of supplies, Lord Olaf's siege work will be smoother!" The fourth-level wood mage Du La showed a relieved smile. It was true that Rivendell provided a lot of help, but those supplies could still be used to restore the Lion Territory. However, it was naturally impossible to sweep away the large number of beasts and monsters that were alarmed by the forbidden spell war. The Lion Territory, which lacked arrows and crossbows, could only gather the people around the Lion Castle and watch the beasts wreak havoc in the King's Landing Valley.

"Yeah! At least we don't have to use a spear to hit the wild boar!" Olaf grinned and rubbed his chest. At this moment, he had removed the infantry plate armor, revealing a somewhat purple chest.

"What's wrong?" Du La reached out and a green twig grew out of his sleeves, entrenched on Olaf's chest and emitted a bright green light, which immediately made Olaf moan indecently, causing Apophis Breo to look sideways.

"We were attacked by wild boars again today!" Olaf rolled his eyes and poured himself a glass of wine from the side and drank it all. Fortunately, the elves of Rivendell supplied them, otherwise, let alone wine, everyone would have starved to death before Roland's relief food.

"Tomorrow I will take the militia and the hunting crossbow to clean up those beasts! Damn it! Those orc bastards come to harass us, and these beasts come to join in the fun!" Olaf said without interruption. With the healing of wood healing magic, the bruises on Olaf's chest caused by the wild boar have healed, so he speaks lively.

"Be careful, those wild boars are not much worse than tigers!" Apophis Breo smiled bitterly and shook his head. After all, everyone knows how powerful the shock cavalry of wild boar mounts is, so ordinary wild boars are not necessarily inferior to primary magic beasts.

"It's okay. I'll just use dozens of hunting crossbows to shoot randomly! I don't believe they can withstand the heavy arrows of the kingdom!" Olaf said viciously. The arrows Roland sent this time were all heavy arrows one meter long and one hundred grams. Because Roland always emphasized the importance of full martial virtue, all arrows were heavy arrows! Including Lagran's crossbows, they were all powerful step-drawn crossbows. These crossbows, called hunting crossbows, were actually comparable to heavy crossbows. The heavy arrows shot by these crossbows were no less powerful than those shot by the rangers! (They were still much inferior to the archers. After all, with the skills of the archers, even the knights would be scared when facing their rain of arrows alone!)

"Okay, okay!" Apophis Breo raised his hands in surrender. It can be seen that Olaf has been resentful of the recent wild beasts. That resentment is enough to feed ten evil sword immortals.

"Okay, now that the grain from the kingdom has arrived, we can use the work-for-relief policy. Let's distribute the grain and let the people rebuild the Lion Territory themselves!" Apophis Breo rubbed his brows and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a "hardship" for him to have five or six thousand people idle for a while. Because he couldn't guarantee their safety, he even rejected the people's request to farm. This resulted in less than a quarter of the grain that could have been recovered in the autumn harvest. A large number of wheat ears were eaten by wild beasts and birds. Now Apophis Breo can finally let the people go.

……

"The Lion Territory has stabilized. Duke Apophis Breo has used the work-for-relief policy to send the people out to rebuild the territory!" Adolf Heinrich reported to Roland.

"Well, it's the right choice. With arrows and hunting crossbows, he will be a cuckold if he hides in the castle on the mountain! I guess we don't have to worry about the Lion Territory this year!" Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, with the Beorns on guard in front, the orcs in Gunbaddar Fortress can't escape their sight, but the orcs in the Misty Mountains are still a problem!" Adolf Heinrich analyzed.

"The king of the Goblin Kingdom in the Misty Mountains was killed by Thorin and his men! Those orcs have suffered several major battles and have returned disastrously. I don't think they can muster the courage to invade the border on a large scale in the near future..." Darion Nightblade behind Roland laughed while playing with the Garuda in his hand.

"Yes, I don't believe they can continue to organize a large army to disgust Apophis Breo. If they really have that cohesion, they are not orcs! You know, the two orc kings Azog and Bolger have been killed by us! It will take them a long time to compete for a new king!" Roland laughed disdainfully.

You must know that the reason why the orcs in the Battle of Five Armies came so aggressively was entirely because of the leadership of the two orc kings Azog and Bolger. When the two orc kings died, the orcs in the entire northern border were all broken-backed dogs. If it weren't for the two fortresses under the control of the Ringwraiths that combined two elite orc armies, Roland would not have taken the orcs seriously at all.

In fact, it was just as they expected. When the news of the Forbidden War spread throughout the Misty Mountains, the orcs who were originally playing a tug-of-war with the soldiers of the King's Landing family to the west of the King's Landing Fortress disappeared without a trace overnight.
