The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-Earth

Chapter 438 Renault Returns

After a few days of personal training, the cooking skills of the chefs in the entire castle have made great progress. At least the food they cook is edible. Roland was surprised to find that the people of Middle-earth have a high acceptance rate of food like steamed buns. Bakeries in the city have begun selling various kinds of buns. Although the dough of the finished product is yellowed, which is obviously due to too much alkaline flour, it is already delicious for people in the food desert who eat bread all day long.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty Yun Feng, please see me!" the guard gently knocked on the door.

"Ask him to wait for me, I'll be there in a minute!" Roland straightened his clothes and said to the door.

"Yes!" The knight outside the door took the order and left.

"What's going on?" Roland looked at Yun Feng who was pacing in place and asked in confusion.

"They're back!" Yun Feng said excitedly.

"Who is it?" Roland crossed his arms and said nonchalantly.

"..." The surprise in Yun Feng's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye and turned into shock.

"Is this so difficult that you're talking about people leaving for tea?" Yun Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"What kind of riddle are you trying to play?" Roland asked, not knowing why.

"Don't you really feel that there are fewer people or something?" Yun Feng spread his hands, good guy, it's really a group of living people who are missing, right?

"Bang!" Roland clapped his hands suddenly as if he remembered something, startling Yun Feng.

"I remembered! The swan knights who sent Jesse Ava to each other are back! Invite Knight Commander Horfa in quickly!" Roland slapped the table.

"Pah!" Yun Feng patted his head after hearing this.

"I suggest that Mr. Renault can take people out and start his own business." Yun Feng grinned and was completely speechless.

"Reno...Reno? Damn it! Reno! He's back!" Roland thought for a long time before he remembered that he had a general named Reno under his command. The most important thing is that this general not only took away his only The caravan also took away all of his royal guards.

In the end, Roland found Renault on the second floor of the bakery, or to be precise, in a small single room on the second floor of the Willy Hotel! At this moment, the Willy Hotel had been booked. Roland saw a group of ungrateful men crazily stuffing buns and tofu into his mouth. There was even a plate of priceless fried dough sticks in front of Renault (oil is Scarce stuff).

"Your Highness, make atonement!" Renault's mouth was full, but he still took the time to offer Roland's hand as a confession, but he probably only knew how sincere it was.

"What kind of stuffing?" Roland asked curiously, looking at Renault, whose mouth was full of oil.

"Your Highness, this is stuffed with white fish and cabbage!" The owner of Willy Hotel quickly bowed.

"Oh?" Roland became interested, picked up a bun and put it into his mouth.

"Hmm... not bad." Roland nodded. There was no fishy smell as expected. It seemed that the boss had used spices to remove the fishy smell.

"Come down, there's no need to wait, I'll have a chat with General Renault!" Roland waved his hand, and the others immediately left with a wink, leaving the entire second floor to Roland and the two of them.

"What do you want to hear, Your Highness?" Renault swallowed the food in his mouth and drank some water to smooth it down.

"What's going on along the way?" Roland asked.

"Follow the path we started to discuss! After arriving at the Beorn people's Carlock town, we stayed for a day, and then we went south along the Anduin River! Until Graton Plains! We stayed in the town of Denor for two days to rest. We inquired about the news by the way, and then crossed the Anduin River here to reach its west bank. We arrived in the Golden Forest! And we were entertained by Queen Lothlórien!" Raynor shook his head.

"Well, the elves of the Golden Forest are indeed okay, wait? You said Queen Galadriel entertained you?" Roland said in surprise, so quickly meeting the main plot characters of the War of the Ring.

"Yes! She also entertained the dwarves who were traveling with us! She affirmed and encouraged our fight and determination..." Renault shrugged.

"Tch! I need her encouragement? Shouldn't I block the guns and share the firepower with their elves? There is no practical benefit at all..." Roland thought to himself.

"By the way, is the transaction going well?" Roland asked. He calculated the time and found that it was the winter of 2942 in the Third Era. Rohan was ruled by King Senger, while Gondor was ruled by Prime Minister Turgon.

"Fortunately, our goods were sold out soon after entering Gondor!" Renault nodded. Their hard currency is still good. Even Akvia's leather goods and sundries are selling well. After all, they have an exotic flavor. The stuff is still very attractive.

"What did you buy back?" Roland asked curiously. Since he has sold all his goods, there is no reason not to buy some specialties from Gondor and Rohan.

"I don't know about them, but I exchanged all the gold coins for wheat from Gondor and dried meat from Rohan. If you don't count the losses, it should be basically 300,000 kilograms, and all the carts are full!" Renault! He said solemnly, after all, the food shortage in the kingdom is obvious to all, and Renault is not unaware of it. Of course he will purchase a batch of cheap food.

"Well, good job!" Roland praised. Although the caravan's cart can carry nearly 4,000,000 kilograms of goods, that's load-bearing! Grain and dried meat are much lighter, so they are not too heavy even if they are piled high.

"Oh, I almost died from exhaustion when crossing the river..." Renault complained.

"By the way, I heard along the way that the dwarves had a fight with the orcs in Moria?" Renault wiped his mouth and asked.

"Well, we can call it the Second Battle of Azanubiza!" Roland nodded seriously.

"We came from Moria, and the dwarves who were traveling with us insisted on going to see it." Renault shrugged.

"Well, it's not surprising. After all, the Moria garrison was almost wiped out. If Thorin and Dyne's army hadn't advanced quickly..." Roland shook his head.

"That's not right! I see there are a lot of dwarf soldiers in Moria!" Renault said puzzled.

"What you see are the last batch of dwarves in the Western World." Roland sighed.

"?" Renault frowned. He suddenly felt that this world was so strange. He had only been out for a long time, and the situation around him was already unpredictable.

"Those are the dwarves from the Blue Mountains...the dwarves from the west have come here." Roland explained.

"Hiss! The dwarf has decided? So decisive?" Renault was extremely surprised. The Blue Mountains actually gave up after running it for so long!

"Even if we stay behind, there won't be many people left. These are the last dwarves in Middle-earth." Roland sighed. The glory of the dwarves gradually disappeared in the long river of history. So... what about humans?

"It's good to gather together and recuperate." Renault said after a moment of silence.

"Both the dwarves and elves are unreliable, and only us humans are left to join forces to keep warm." Renault frowned.

"The moment we raised the dragon flag here, we were destined to choose loneliness... I never thought of relying on them..." Roland shook his head slowly.

"Well, I will return to Lulong Fortress after the handover. The orcs in Dol Guldur are restless." Renault said slowly after swallowing the last bite of the bun.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Roland stood up and beat his chest in a knightly salute. This was his respect for a true knight.
