Chapter 280: Lulong Ahead, Darkness Is Forbidden!

"We have passed the Dinrel Valley! If we go further, we will reach Lorien!" Kaslow spread out the map and said to Roland.

"Oh my god... why did you go to the Golden Forest!" Roland covered his face in shame.

"We have to go north! To the Graton area!" Ormsk, who was wearing a helmet, spoke angrily.

"What's going on in the Graton area? We don't know!" Roland shrugged.

"It doesn't matter! They are not under the rule of the empire now anyway!" Ajax spread her hands with helplessness on her face.

"One day we will take back our territory!" Roland stared at the map.

"We can actually consider taking the water route!" Roland suggested. After all, we can directly enter the Anduin River from the Silver Light River, and then take the water route to the old pass.

"Crossing the elven territory is ridiculous enough! Going upstream is a bit impractical!" Ajax said straightforwardly without any concern for the king, Roland.

"Let's go to the Graton area along the eastern foot of the Misty Mountains! At least it's more open here and it's not easy to be ambushed!" Ormsk rubbed his brows and said a little tiredly.

"Damn it! It's a pity that we didn't bring the knights here!" Roland felt a little regretful.

"It's overkill. There's no need for knights to deal with the scattered orcs! The heavy infantry already gives them a lot of face."

"Graton area? Wait! Our people have been here before!" Roland suddenly slapped his head. When he sent Baron Lance to send the goblin prince Jesse Ava to each other, he had passed by here before, and Roland still kept the map they drew. in space.

"Baron Lance!" Kaslow also understood.

"I remember that there is a human settlement in Graton!" Kaslow and Roland rummaged through the map drawn by Lance and started comparing it with their own map.

"Here! Graton Plains! When we get there, we have to cross the Anduin River first!" Kaslo scratched his head.

"It's better to go there! After all, we have to keep in touch with the human settlements. Although they have broken away from our rule, they will still be the subjects of the empire in the future!" Ormsk suggested.

"It doesn't matter, but I heard from Lance that the people here are still very ignorant! The little magician Nina Bonn in our city comes from this settlement. She was almost killed at that time, but Mr. Lance saved her!" Roland said. blinked.

Everyone laughed knowingly. It must be said that the scene of a hero saving a beauty is always a sight to see.

"That's it..." Kaslo looked at Ajax, who was looking confused, and immediately pulled her over and told her the story of this settlement.

"Asshole! We should destroy it! Bring him under the rule of the empire!" Ajax waved her pink fist angrily. It was obvious that these ignorant people and those fat-minded lords made her very angry.

"Calm down, humans in Middle-earth are basically virtuous now! Can you kill them all?" Roland glanced at Ajax, who was as angry as a female dragon.

"Ha! I am a soldier! It is my responsibility and mission to eliminate violence and keep peace!" Ajax pouted and said dissatisfied.

"Fool...sigh." Roland glanced at Ajax lovingly and sighed.

"You idiot, war is a continuation of politics! But soldiers are not pawns of politicians! It's better for a fool like you to be deceived by those careerists!" Roland shook his head. Fortunately, he didn't have such a strong desire for expansion, so he came over with a warmonger. Maybe he just fooled this girl into lameness.

What Roland didn't know was that in this unknown place, he said something that shocked later generations of historians and made countless people worship him!

"War is a continuation of politics, and soldiers are not pawns of politicians!" - "Records of Roland, the Great Emperor of Lagland"

"We are not warmongers. We only want to protect the people under our rule. We are powerless to stop the ignorant majority of people!" Roland shook his head. In essence, he is not a warlike person. The stability of the farming nation Let them never be enthusiastic about war!

"What's wrong? Isn't it strange? A king is not keen on opening up new territories?" Roland looked at the stunned Kaslo and Ormsk and smiled mysteriously.

Seeing Ormsk and Kaslo nodding wildly, Roland couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth...

His dream has always been to live the luxurious life of a king, enjoy delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, enjoy a life without 996 blessings, enjoy the service of a beautiful and eye-catching maid, marry a beautiful queen, and have several children...

Unfortunately, it backfired! I was born in this fucking era of the Third Age! The elves and dwarves are still skinny, camels are bigger than horses, and humans still live under the protection of the two races. What's more, the darkness has not yet left Middle-earth. Years of war will make you despair!

"Actually, I just want to live steadily..." Roland sighed.

At first, if he didn't want a sum of money, he wouldn't have participated in the Lonely Mountain expedition. Later, if it weren't for Renault's persistence and consideration of the commission, he wouldn't have participated in the Battle of the Five Armies! Later, if it weren't for the cold lips and teeth and the lack of room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed, he wouldn't have gone to Dolgolf to cause more trouble for the Nazgul. Now, due to the pressure of the war in the north, he can only go to Moria to make trouble. The Dragon Rider will come out with the gold coins.

"Alas... life is full of uncertainties!" Roland sighed. He didn't know where the future would be, and he wasn't sure whether he would see that day, but when he thought of Nyx's smile... ... Roland clenched his fists, disturbing my life? Even God will kill me for you to see!

"Let's go! Let's get to the Graton area first, and then find a way to cross the river!" Roland shook his head to get rid of those messy thoughts.

"Pay attention to the orcs here!" Roland ordered.

"Understood!" everyone replied.

…

Lulong Fortress.

"What's going on?" Renault stood at the top of the city in military uniform, with a look of surprise on his face. The orcs in Dol Guldur actually started causing trouble again?

"I don't know General! The spies said there is an orc army moving towards us!" Apophis Breo stood in front of Renault with his head lowered and his fists clasped.

"Damn it! It's such a bad time! Your Highness is not here... Go! Send someone on horseback to Galliu City to report the news! Tell them to gather the people and prepare for the invasion of the orcs! Tell Yun Feng that the safety of Galliu City and the Grand Duke is entrusted to him. ! I will live and die with Lulong Fortress!" Renault looked at Dol Guldur in the distance with a murderous expression.

"Understood, there are not many soldiers in General Renault's city, do we need support..." Apophis Breo, a descendant of the Grand Duke of King's Landing, asked with a frown.

"Huh?" Renault raised his eyebrows.

"There are only 400 Battanian archers, 100 Crusader spear-shielders, 16 King's Landing knights and 3 priests left in the fortress. Should we ask Rapid City..." Apophis Breo frowned brow said.

"What? Are you scared?" Renault frowned.

"Afraid? Are men from the Junlin family afraid? You are insulting the honor of the Junlin Lion family!" Upon hearing this, Apophis Breo jumped up like a cat with explosive fur.

"I'm just afraid that you won't be able to defend this place! There is no barrier in the south of the kingdom!" Apophis Breo frowned coldly.

"It takes time and manpower to gather the people. Are we asking for help? How many people can arrive? Those Cross Redbud Knights? Or those heavy cavalry? Or the Knights of Holy Glory? Do you want Rapid City? Those are all Rapids The protection of the city! Do you plan to count on the support of those rapid infantry or the support of those recruited light infantry?" Renault snorted disdainfully.

"When they come, either collect the corpses of the orcs! Or collect the corpses for us! If not, they might even catch them! Rather than doing this, we might as well not let them go!" Renault held on to his sword domineeringly.

"Today! Me! Lagrand Kingdom! Lulong Fortress Guard Renault is standing here! Tell those bastards deep in the dark forest!" Renault took a deep breath.

"Lulong ahead, darkness is forbidden!"
