The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

"Crack~" The heavy iron-clad city gate of Rapid Flow City opened with a bang in the morning light, and crowds of people rushed out of Rapid Flow City like fish entering the sea.

On the dirt roads in the countryside, people greeted the people they met with simple smiles, and they were not timid when they met the soldiers patrolling around. Everything seemed tranquil and peaceful.

The crisp sound of horseshoes broke the peace, and at the end of the horizon, a golden dragon flag with a red background appeared in everyone's sight.

"Our army!" A young man pointed at the flag and said.

"Did our lost team return? Or His Highness the King?" A group of patrolling infantrymen asked curiously as they looked at the mighty flag.

"It's the king who's back! That flag is a golden tassel! It's the king's flag!" After a while, people recognized Roland's distinctive king's flag.

…

"I'm back! It's still comfortable to stay in my own place." Roland rode on his horse and watched the people coming and going in Rapid Flow City. The smell of fireworks, the farmers who come and go between the country roads and fields, the hawkers who sell on the street, and the only tavern that is extremely prosperous... all make this city move in a good direction.

"Welcome home, Your Royal Highness!" Grand Duke Nyx, who had brought people to wait at the gate of the city in advance, gently lifted the hem of his skirt and bowed slightly to Roland.

"Thank you for coming out to greet me, His Royal Highness." Roland smiled and got off his horse to help Nyx up.

"How is it? Is this business going well?" Nyx looked curiously at the team following Roland.

"It's a tie, but the coalition forces didn't lose much, but the Orcs held Dol Guldur. By the way, is the city okay? Nothing major happened, right?" Roland asked.

"As you can see, the ordinary life is exactly what I hoped for." Nix pouted towards the outside of the city in a flat manner.

"Hehe~" Roland was amused by Nix's cute action.

"Come in. After fighting for a long time, the changes in the city are not small. Come in and get acquainted." Nyx stepped aside and invited everyone to enter the city.

"The system checks the territory interface!" Roland quietly ordered the system, and the system interface popped up soon.

Evaluation: The lonely king led the remaining people back to their homeland, and established this city with tall walls. There are some residents in the city, which makes the whole city look more smoky, and everything is developing in a good direction , The city's military power is strong, and there are many soldiers of the right age! Even in the face of a small-scale attack, the entire city can completely defend the safety of the city. Note: The Grand Duke of Nyx has fled so far, and the whole country has no mistress and heir

Abilities: 1. As the only territory of the Lagrand Kingdom in Middle-earth, she will attract the survivors of Lagrand to go there. The system will guide a group of wandering LaGrand civilians to arrive every day, hoping that the lord can properly arrange them.

2. Allow the civilians recruited here to train the rapid infantry.

"Not bad, there are actually 1,647 soldiers of the right age!" Roland said in amazement. It seems that if he is aggressive, he will soon be able to raise a rapid army again!

"Not bad! At least there is no problem with self-protection now. Even if the orc army comes, I can barely struggle!" Roland was very satisfied. He was able to recruit more than 1600 militiamen so that Roland was full of confidence. It can be transformed into qualified rapid-flow infantry, which is how those rapid-flow infantry with a terrifying base in the previous life came from. The lords summon militias for training at any time, but within a week, one after another, rapid-flow infantry with signs can be dispatched to enter the battlefield.

"It seems that the city is developing well!" Roland led his horse through the street and looked around. Dried fish and other dried goods were hung on the door frames of the houses. Every resident had a happy smile on their faces, and people wore various clothes. After getting up, Roland was even more surprised that there were peddlers in the city!

"This is...the caravan of the River Valley State?" Roland blurted out dumbfounded. This is considered international trade...Sure enough, merchants are always at the forefront of the times. Meet caravans from other regions.

"Well, shortly after you left, the caravans from the Valley State came here. They reclaimed our furs and wild game and brought us their handmade products. For the first time, we have commercial taxation..." Nix said happily And talk.

"Well done, attracting businessmen to come here to trade with us is an important way to improve our national strength." Roland affirmed, and I have to say that Nyx is definitely much better than Roland, a half-hearted man, in handling internal affairs. Roland realized how profound knowledge a real high-ranking noble possessed.

What Roland saw and heard along the way fully reflected Nyx's excellent experience in governing. He is worthy of being the lord who once ruled a principality. Even the grand duke of the weakest principality is still a well-deserved king of a country. It's no better than a certain **** man stretching his legs.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep!"

"What sound!" Roland suddenly heard the faint sound of a horn coming from afar.

"Enemy attack!" Roland suddenly reacted and urged the people around him. The sound of the horn was different from any force he knew. Roland took it for granted that the enemy army was attacking. After all, there were only half-orcs' inferior and messy horns. To produce sounds of different tones.

"Go to the city wall! Blow the horn! Call the soldiers to prepare to defend the city! Send all the cavalry to protect the people and return to the city!" Roland said quickly, and then twisted and ran towards the city wall, leaving a group of bewildered people behind. Forced subordinates.

"Quick, quick!" Omsk climbed up to the roof next to him with his toes, and caught up with Roland after a few ups and downs.

"Your Highness, I'll command the defense first!" Omsk left only his voice in the air, but he rushed out quickly.

…

"Why didn't you blow the war horn?" Roland quickly grabbed Omsk in front of him and asked after he climbed to the top of the wall.

"Your Highness...you can see for yourself..." Omsk said with some emotion.

On the distant horizon, a dilapidated red flag flutters in the wind, and slightly dilapidated redbuds bloom proudly in the cross patterns...
