The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-Earth

Chapter 844 Irony

Chapter 853 Irony

"Your Majesty, the Gondor team has arrived!" While Roland was still thinking about how to face Aragorn, Adolf Heinrich had already walked over and whispered to Roland.

"Gondor? What are they here for? Trade? Go to Ruel in Riverstorm for trade! Do you want to find me to make goods for them or something?" Roland shrugged his nose and asked in confusion.

"You are really a noble man who forgets things easily..." Adolf Heinrich smiled awkwardly.

"Denethor..." Adolf Heinrich reminded politely but awkwardly.

"...It's bad, he forgot it!" Even Roland, who was extremely thick-skinned, blushed. After all, almost a year had passed, and the move he had made at the beginning had long been forgotten by Roland.

"How many people came?" Roland quickly sorted out his mentality and asked calmly.

"3,000 people!" Adolf Heinrich reported a number.

"Wow! There are a lot of people! How is the quality?" Roland leaned back on the chair behind him and said in a relaxed manner. Although he was a little surprised, 3,000 people were not too much for Denethor II's status and family background!

"The quality is okay, at least they are all strong young men! The only group with military training is a 300-man warrior squad!" Adolf Heinrich said.

"Wow! Does that mean Denethor II also brought a professional army?" Roland's eyes widened. This was too much of a waste! You have to know that the coverage rate of human professionals in Middle-earth itself is not high. Not everyone is a cheater like Roland. It is really not easy for human lords to gather a professional army.

"It seems that he intends to let these professionals be officers and squad leaders?" Then Roland reacted. Three thousand people are exactly three hundred squads. Three hundred warriors can indeed maximize the combat effectiveness with other ordinary soldiers. After all, whether the officers on the line are professionals or ordinary people still has a great impact!

Professional officers can basically survive before all the soldiers are killed, which plays an extremely important role in maintaining the stability of the lineup and morale. After all, you can't expect those young and strong men who have just put down their farm tools to have high morale.

"It should be like this..." Adolf Heinrich nodded. They don't know Gondor but they know themselves. The Lagran Empire dares not pull the newly formed torrent infantry to the border to launch a pioneering war (except for the Patriotic War). The battle with huge casualties is enough to break the willpower of every new army. Therefore, a strong veteran team is the right way to lead the new recruits. The tenacious officer team is the soul of a tenacious army!

"Then let Fenglin Youlan train these teams! Guards, summon His Excellency Fenglin Youlan!" Roland thought about it and didn't have any high-level warrior professionals on his side, so he simply let Fenglin Youlan force the issue! Anyway, he is not a normal dragon rider, and he can still teach ordinary soldiers!

"What? You really want me to train the soldiers? Wouldn't that little prince of Gondor be ruined by training?" Fenglin Youlan said in shock. He thought it was a joke when he mentioned this before, but he was really asked to lead the infantry as a dragon knight? Aren't you afraid that he would be led into trouble by them?

"What's the problem with a group of strong men who just put down their hoes and a few hundred low-level warriors? You are an imperial dragon knight commander, you can't even lead 3,000 soldiers, right?" Roland looked at Fenglin Youlan with a look of doubt on the ability of the McDougal family.

"Bang!" Fenglin Youlan understood what Roland meant in his eyes, and immediately stood up and slapped the table.

"Who said that? You can't question my ability, just like you can't question my character!" Fenglin Youlan exploded instantly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you!" Roland spread his hands and said calmly.

"...Is it okay if they fail in training?" Looking at the calm Roland, Fenglin Youlan felt a little guilty. After all, if it was the kingdom's own soldiers, it would be fine. If they failed in training, they would just be laughed at by others and asked to train again. The problem was that this was training soldiers for Gondor, and it would be embarrassing to go abroad!

"How bad can they be? Troops that have not experienced war are useless! What you have to do is make them look bright and beautiful on the surface. Whether they are elite or not is up to Denethor to test in the war!" Roland said indifferently. No one would be stupid enough to think that a strong army could be assembled without the baptism of war, right? Being able to obey orders is already the highest level of the new army!

"Okay! I understand!" Fenglin Youlan did not refuse this time. After knowing the bottom line, he relaxed instead.

"By the way, is there still no news about Aragorn?" Roland turned his head to look at Adolf Heinrich. After all, Aragorn and Raglan were not far from each other. There were not only people from the Beorn clan but also Dunedain nomads in the upper reaches of the Anduin River. Aragorn was active in this area. According to the historical trajectory, he should have arrived in Rhovanion. It was just unknown when Aragorn and Legolas got together. According to the movie, Legolas went to find Aragorn under the guidance of Thranduil after the Battle of Lonely Mountain, while in the original book, they should have met when Aragorn entered the Rhovanion area.

Although this matter had no impact or change on the overall situation, it did not prevent Roland from eating melons and watching the show. After all, this wave of Denethor II has been epically strengthened by himself. There is no reason to become a clown like in the original book, right? Despair destroyed confidence? Come on! Look, my friend, behind you is Raglan's dragon riders covering the sky and the sun! It is Raglan's knights who trampled through mountains and rivers! What isolation and helplessness and the disparity between the enemy and us? None of them exist!

"No... Is there anything special about this person?" Adolf Heinrich shook his head and looked at Roland in confusion. Didn't he understand what kind of important person this person was? Why was Roland so concerned about this person?

"Nothing." Roland shook his head. He couldn't tell Adolf Heinrich that this guy would be the legitimate heir to the throne of Gondor in the future, right? He wasn't a prophet, so why would he predict the future?

"But keep a close eye on him. He has a great influence on the future development of our kingdom!" Roland said. For Raglan, Aragorn's rise to power was not a good thing, so Roland, the dragon-slaying boy, finally became what he hated the most. If he really affected the development of the Raglan Kingdom, Roland didn't mind helping Sauron get rid of him first. After all, Gondor was not bad under the rule of Denethor II! Gondor would not collapse without Aragorn. Denethor II could completely replace Aragorn and lead Gondor to block the front of Mordor.

"Okay!" Seeing Roland's serious expression, Adolf Heinrich also took this matter to heart. After all, past experience has proved that Roland's concerns are not trivial matters! Adolf Heinrich never questioned Roland's strategic vision, although this king's clumsiness in some tactical aspects made people pick their feet...

"Don't invest too much energy. If he comes, just monitor him. There is no need to look for him all over the world. We don't have so much energy and there is no need!" Roland comforted. The main reason for paying attention to Aragon was that Roland was afraid that his arrival would cause a butterfly effect and let Aragon mess around in his kingdom.

"Alas... After all, I have become the person I hate the most!" Roland looked at the white clouds outside the window and smiled ironically.

I'm so busy... I give up! All bosses ask for rewards
