Chapter 207 Bahrain Arrives
Although Lance really wanted to kill a certain shameless city defense officer, he gave up the idea in the end because of Nina Bonn's innocent eyes (True Fragrance Law?)
"Good afternoon, Your Highness!" Apophis Breo and Marcus smiled at Roland.
"Well, I really want to know what Lance's expression looks like now..." Roland held his forehead and sighed.
"What's going on? I'm here to inspect the defense. Yun Feng said that peace will not last long." Roland sighed.
"I think so too, alas..." Marcus sighed.
"The Orcs won't be peaceful for long. We will definitely face attacks from the Orcs in the future. It's a pity that we didn't break through Dol Guldur! Our depth is still not wide enough. We can only pray that Lulong Fortress can withstand these damn things. Beasts!" Roland nodded and reluctantly agreed with their words. After all, the combined population of humans, elves, and dwarves in Middle-earth is not as large as that of half-orcs, and the reproductive capacity of half-orcs is even greater than that of elves, dwarves, and humans. very.
"The era of humanity has not yet come..." Roland sighed. The War of the Lord of the Rings has not yet begun, and humans are still not the protagonists of Middle-earth.
"Let's wait and see what happens. We have no ability to change all this. We can only protect our people from being harmed." Roland said helplessly.
"Soon I will go on an expedition to the mines of Moria. After I leave, the defense of the entire Swift River City will be left to you! City Defense Officer!" Roland patted Marcus on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Thank you for your affirmation! I will definitely live up to your trust!" Marcus said with a hammer on his chest.
"What about me? Your Highness..." Apophis Breo said anxiously. He was eager to gain merit in the war to live up to his family's reputation.
"Hahaha! How could I leave a man from the Lion of King's Landing aside? This time you go on an expedition with me! There are enough orcs there for you to wield your sword!" Roland smiled.
"By the way, are you married and have children?" Roland suddenly asked curiously. Although he saw that Apophis Breo was young, he thought that as an ancient nobleman, inheritance should be their priority. After all, the King's Lion family The population has never been very prosperous.
"Well... Your Highness, I don't have one yet. If you have a suitable lady to introduce to me, I don't think I would mind. But it seems that there shouldn't be one in Swift Current City..." Apophis Breo suddenly felt ashamed. He didn't expect that his own The king is such a gossip.
"Okay, then you can stay behind this time. After all, you are the only child of the Junlin family. If something happens to me, I won't be able to face the Grand Dukes of Junlin after I die." Roland thought for a while and felt that it was better to Don't bring the only child of the Junlin family with you. There are not many nobles in your family. In this world, nobles are not just vampires of the people, but masters of knowledge and wisdom. Most nobles are technical talents. Compared with a lifetime of Commoners and nobles who don't have much knowledge are definitely the cornerstone of a country. Roland is not crazy enough to try to make everyone equal in this medieval world. That's not progress, that's cerebral palsy! Think about the common people who only know how to farm and make wine. How do they govern the country?
"Why? This is unfair! I am a noble! I am also a knight! I need to prove myself on the battlefield!" Apophis Breo said excitedly.
"You have proven yourself! Proved your heart! Now what you need to do is to pass on our civilization! I don't want my few remaining great lords to lie on battlefields that do not belong to us!" Roland said coldly Dao, he can go to the battlefield because he is a king! Even more because he has a magical weapon! He can get all-round protection from everyone, but Apophis Breo, who is charging into the battle, may not have such good luck.
"Instead of going into battle to kill the enemy, why not cultivate some reserve nobles for me! Our land is very vast and needs a steady stream of blood to replenish it, and you are the most suitable person!" Roland explained.
"Remember, we don't lack soldiers to fight the enemy. What we lack are nobles who manage the land! Look behind you! How many nobles in that huge empire are still standing in front of us?" Roland shouted.
"..." As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.
yes! The nobles of Ragland are all gone!
Roland muttered an apology silently in his heart. Maybe the system will summon new nobles to assist him in the future, but now his management talents are stretched thin. He can't even send a team to Renault stationed in Lulong Fortress. Even though he is a deputy, Renault still travels between the two places all day long. He not only has to train the soldiers of Rapid City, but also patrol the defense of Lulong Fortress. It can be said that if Roland has another city in his hands at the moment, it will not take half a day. The orcs are coming to attack, and personnel management alone can make Luo autistic.
"You are right...then what should I do?" Apophis Breo asked after a moment of silence. After all, the experience of countless Grand Dukes of King's Landing is enough to make Apophis Breo the most experienced manager in the entire City of Rapids. of nobles, it would be a piece of cake for him to cultivate those emerging reserve nobles! What he lacked was just a direction from Roland.
"As for personnel, just look for them among the soldiers. Those with outstanding military exploits will be awarded the title of Lord, and you need to identify which of them is qualified to receive this honor. By the way, I only need two people, and you only need to let them learn the basics. Management, etc., you should be able to do these, right?" Roland stated his request.
"Of course, Your Highness, your thoughts are pointing towards the direction of my sword! I will prepare now!" The resolute Apophis Breo immediately turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, remember to go to Renault, he will help you screen, and there are members of the Holy Glory Knights. I can't accept that my only knighthood has been broken up. I will compensate them separately!" Roland specially said commanded.
"Yes! My king!" Apophis Breo nodded and ran down the city wall in small steps.
"Marcus, do you think I did the right thing?" Roland suddenly asked Marcus next to him while holding the hilt of the dragon-slaying sword.
"Isn't it too cruel to deprive him of the qualification to go to the battlefield? After all, he is also an honorable knight... Alas, but I really can't bear the sacrifice of a high-ranking noble. We don't have so many talents for me to waste... ..." Roland slowly gave it to Marcus, but it was more like convincing himself.
"Your decisions are always wise and correct, and this time is no exception. You are doing it for the revival of the empire and the prosperity of the Junlin family. He will be grateful to you! After all, in the future we...will not lack war." Marcus comforted, But looking south, his eyes were full of uneasiness.
"Yes! We don't lack war! This damn war!" Roland sighed as his eyes passed over several wandering orcs who were killed by the patrol not far away.
"Your Highness! The dwarves are here!" Suddenly a soldier came to report.
"where?"
"They are in the north of the city! The person here calls himself Bahrain and said he has an appointment with you. I hope you can keep your promise." The guard told him honestly.
"Look, war is coming!" Roland shrugged helplessly at Marcus.
