Chapter 305 The Distance
"Let's meet! Take them to the living room and wait for me. I'll be there soon!" Roland said without hesitation. After all, the dwarf is also his ally, and he should go and meet him out of reason.
…
"Dear King Roland, I wish you good health!" The dwarves Qili and Fili stood up together, caressing their chests and bowing to Roland.
"It's okay, take a seat. You're welcome to visit! Is Thorin's health okay?" Roland said.
"Excuse me for your concern. My uncle is in good health. Since we parted ways in Gushan, everyone has missed you very much. However, Yin Lubo has many things to do and cannot come to see you, so he has to let us come!" Qili said with a smile.
"By the way, what are you doing here this time? But you came here specifically to see me, right?" Roland asked. After all, it is impossible for a dwarf to come all the way just to take a look at him.
"That's it. Didn't you send someone to inform us that the orcs in Dol Guldur have begun to move and have invaded your territory? We are here to see if you need help!" Qili and Fei Li quickly got down to business.
"If you are willing, we can provide five hundred dwarf warriors to assist you in fighting!" Fili stood up firmly.
"Our soldiers are stationed twenty miles outside the city. We can summon soldiers if you need them!" Qili also said immediately.
"Huh?" Roland was stunned. He didn't expect the dwarf to be so sincere and actually brought his own army. Moreover, the entire five hundred dwarf army was not a small number for Yin Lubo as a whole.
"Sorry, because it takes time to assemble and integrate the army, we are a little late. I hope you can forgive me!" Qili and Fili looked at Roland's changing expressions and thought they had caused Roland's displeasure, so they hurriedly faced Roland. A flurry of apologies.
"No, no, no! You have misunderstood. I just didn't expect that you would actually send reinforcements!" Roland said a little surprised. According to Roland's idea, the dwarves should only give him some material support at most, but he never expected that an army would arrive. Five hundred elite dwarf soldiers! You must know that even Bahrain's expedition to Moria Thorin only gave him 500 soldiers.
"This is how it should be, King Roland! You will always be a close friend of the dwarves! Whether it was your bloody battle at the foot of the Lonely Mountain or your sacrifice in the mines of Moria, all the descendants of Turin saw it. When we were isolated and helpless, , you are the only one who has given us strong support!" Qili and Fili looked at Roland with emotion.
Since the first Gushan War, only the army of the Kingdom of Lagrand has actually supported the dwarves in their battles! Regardless of whether it was because Roland needed gold coins or not, only Ragland fought for the dwarf allies, while the elves and the humans of Changhu Town fought for their own living space.
If Roland knew what the dwarves were thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud. In fact, Roland also wanted to find a place for himself to settle down, but the dwarves thinking this way would definitely not be harmful to the Kingdom of Lagland.
"The orcs in Dol Guldur have been dealt with, but this time they sent four Nazgul! In addition to our three old friends, there is also the ninth Nazgul Uvasa! This is a difficult one to deal with. Guys! You still have to be careful with the space-based Nazgul! Remember to tell Thorin for me! The darkness in Dol Guldur has increased again!" Roland said.
"Ah!" Kili and Fili said in shock.
"Be careful of the Ringwraiths and Orcs attacking the Lonely Mountain! By the way! You still have to tell King Bard!" Roland suddenly heard that King Bard, the great enemy of the River Valley State, should still be working hard under his command. The people rebuilt the river valley state.
"Okay, Your Highness! Thank you for the reminder!" Fili and Kili suddenly said.
"By the way! Are your Highness Balin and the others okay?" Kili and Fili asked quickly. Although they knew that Balin had successfully driven out the Orcs and killed the Balrog in Moria, they did not know the specific situation.
"They should be living well, after all, the whole of Moria was wiped out by us!" Roland couldn't help but smile when he said this. Thinking back to the years of fighting Moria with Balin and the others, he still couldn't help but get excited!
"What are their casualties?" Qili and Fili quickly asked. They were very concerned about the situation of their own people.
"Huh? Didn't Bahrain send someone back to tell you?" Roland asked curiously, why didn't Bahrain send someone back to inform Yin Lubo of the situation?
"It should still be on the way!" Chili Feli thought about it and told Roland his guess.
"Oh! That's right!" Roland suddenly realized as he patted his head. After all, he and his people had to march all the way back! Bahrain's messenger must be much slower than himself.
"There were basically no casualties. Bahrain and Orion Oyin are both safe. The soldiers suffered dozens of casualties, but the wounded are all fine!" Roland recounted.
"Huh..." Chili Feli let out a long breath, and suddenly felt much more at ease.
"You must keep close contact with Moria! They have too few manpower now. I don't think the orcs will let you take back Moria easily!" Roland reminded the two of them. After all, Bahrain also led the expedition successfully in history. They regained Moria, but what was the result? After Balin was attacked and killed, the entire Moria dwarves were immediately leaderless and were quickly wiped out by the orcs in the depths of Moria. If the dwarves in this generation still ignore the people of Moria, then Roland does not think that these Moria dwarves The ending of the dwarves will be much better than in history!
"Of course, we will tell uncle!" Kili and Fili nodded.
"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, come and have a meal!" Roland invited.
"No need, King Roland! Thank you for your warm hospitality and our gratitude! The entire northern border is not safe yet. If you don't need our help, we have to rush back to Yin Lubo with our soldiers!" Qili and Fei Li quickly declined. After all, the pressure of the entire northern border was on Yin Lubo. It was good that the River Valley State could take care of itself. Now the soldiers patrolling Gushan are all sent by dwarves.
"Then say hello to Thorin for me. May the kingdom under the mountain be peaceful and peaceful for a long time! I wish you a safe journey!" Roland also nodded in greeting. After all, the security situation in the north is not optimistic at all. The arrival of summer has made the orcs in the north more active. , a large number of orcs crossed the gray mountains and came to the Gushan territory. Yin Lubo's dwarf army was already stretched thin. These dwarves swept away the orcs who went south to fight the autumn wind near Gushan, but there were still many orcs who crossed the dwarves' defense line. The patrol soldiers in Rapid City are also aware of this. After all, more and more orcs are coming from the north and south to the territory controlled by Rapid City.
"Then let's leave. If you need our help, the dwarves will never forget their allies!" Qili and Fili bowed and left quickly.
"Tsk!" Roland raised his eyebrows. The situation in the north was becoming increasingly unstable.
