The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 1011 Shifting the Blame Eastward!

"How about that? I was timely enough!" Okrian Ryukin shook the longsword in his hand, the wind marks on the sword slowly fading.

It was none other than the special effect of Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's Gale Blade. Just before the forbidden spell was about to descend, Okrian Ryukin activated Gale Blade, calling out Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's true name and summoning his true form back through Gale Blade!
"That shows I trust you enough!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yasuo smiled, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. After all, timing was crucial; too early and Ghidorah would change its aim, too late and you'd take full damage, perhaps even dying before you could teleport...

"Hehe! We should be safe now!" Okrian Ryukin looked at the rolling sea of ​​lightning in the distance, where the land had turned black! Golden lightning snakes roamed across the earth, and even though they were more than ten miles apart, the lightning still illuminated their faces.

“Theoretically, it’s safe! But don’t forget that Ghidorah is a dragon! He must have more than two forbidden spell slots, right?” Archduke Oakrian Yaso said with a furrowed brow as he looked at the dragon rolling in the dark clouds, unleashing its fury.

"A Dragon Language Great Forbidden Spell plus another Dragon Language Forbidden Spell and a bunch of Dragon Language Spells... and he still has the energy to cast spells?" Okrian Ryukin said in disbelief. After all, he wasn't a Dragon Knight and couldn't comprehend the immense dragon power of a Dragon Knight! That endless dragon power really gave one the illusion of an inexhaustible source of strength!
"Yes! The dragon's power isn't like that of some low-level sages who are weakened by a single forbidden spell!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso nodded solemnly. Some sages who rely on potions and elixirs, though they've barely reached the sixth rank, have terrifyingly weak spell slots; a single forbidden spell can drain them dry! But clearly, dragons aren't like that! Especially dragons, who excel in magic!
"We need to run!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yasso, watching the rampaging dragon, forcefully suppressed the urge to turn back and fight again. Although being impaled in the ground by the dragon was humiliating, it was far better than being killed by it...

"Running away like this will attract his attention!" Oakrian Ryukin said as he retreated. Right now, the two of them weren't using their battle aura, so in the dragon's perception, they were about the same as ordinary people. But if they used their battle aura to run away, the dragon would immediately detect them, as the dragon's ability to track and perceive battle aura was still sharp!
"Activate the original plan! Lure him to the riverbank! I refuse to believe that such a vast river as the Anduin doesn't have a dominant magical beast! I've heard that even a tiny spot upstream has a water watcher!" Grand Duke Okrian Yaso scoffed at Ghidorah. What kind of dragon hadn't he seen in the Empire? Although this mutated dragon species was still in the dragon hierarchy, in Grand Duke Okrian Yaso's mind, it was no different from a mixed-blood wyvern!
“…Then run?” Oakrian Ryukin grinned helplessly.

"Run!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso nodded, and then the two of them unleashed a surge of battle aura beneath their feet, activating the Wind Surge!

"Whoosh!" Two gusts of wind swept past the ground. Ghidorah, still raging in the sky, suddenly turned one of its heads, casting a cold gaze. Its sharp dragon eyes instantly caught sight of the two figures. The excruciating pain from its severed wing instantly triggered a surge of intense rage within Ghidorah's three heads! The three dragon heads, each with its own distinct thoughts, instantly reached a consensus! Crush the ants that swung their swords at them!

"By the Dragon God! Damn it, they've caught up!" Oakrian Ryukin cried out in despair.

"Ancestors! Protect us and keep us safe!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso's lips twitched as he prayed to his family's ancestors. Although he looked down on Ghidorah's bloodline, it didn't mean he could ignore the creature's fighting power!

"Is he that fast? Are all Ghidorah this wild?" Okrian Ryukin felt like he'd just messed with a Chihuahua. The contrast of cutting off one of its wings and it flying even faster almost made Okrian Ryukin's left and right brains fight each other in shock.

"Use your brain! He has the attributes of wind, thunder, and fire! Extreme offense and speed! The three attributes complement each other! Two of them can enhance speed!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yasuo roared. With these attributes, even a heavily armored overlord could be faster than a knight's charge!
"Oh my God! My God! They're still alive! Oh my God!" Count Lemon watched as Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso rose into the wind, then fell to the ground... and finally watched as the two sixth-tier warriors dragged the terrifying beast away from the battlefield. As the terrifying dragon's might faded, only a devastated territory remained. The entire town was like a place turned upside down by a dragon, with charred charcoal everywhere. There were no intact buildings left, and the corpses of the dead livestock emitted a pungent, burnt smell, making Count Lemon pinch his nose.

"This money was well spent! It's unbelievable how the capital managed to drive this thing away!" Earl Lemon exclaimed, still shaken by the devastation of his territory. He was thankful he had entertained these two kind-hearted lords who had taken the blame for him; otherwise, his lands would have suffered far more than just the loss of a town's buildings and some property. Earl Lemon even wondered, looking at the horrific destruction, if the capital had simply fed the creature and sent it away.
"Damn it... Scouts! Scout eastward!... We must find traces of the two lords... If they have unfortunately perished, bring back their belongings. We must return them to their kingdom!" Count Lemon thought for a moment, but ultimately couldn't let go of his conscience and decided to go find Grand Duke Ocrean Yaso and the other man. Even if they had unfortunately died, at least he could hand over their belongings.

……

"Help! This thing has dragon power! And it even has advanced dragon language magic!" Okrian Ryukin yelled, as the pillar of lava had just grazed his head! This thing was using three different elemental skills in quick succession, making it impossible for the two of them to defend against it!
"I hate this kind of thing the most! It has so many attributes, it's long and tedious! And they can even be combined and released! It's disgusting!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yasuo lightly stepped on the wind, flipped and dodged the lightning spewed out by the lightning dragon head.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Next time, we must get King Roland to assign us a dragon knight! I can't take it anymore!" Okrian Ryukin roared in a frenzy, leaping and bounding around like a mouse amidst the aerial bombardment, a comical yet deadly sight!

"Stop acting crazy! Run! With a dragon knight, that beast would be dead already!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yasso complained.

"Can't we turn around and counterattack? I feel like we can break through its defenses! Ghidorah's dragon scale defense shouldn't be able to withstand a Sword Saint's mid-level skill!" Okrian Ryukin asked. The same skill can have different effects depending on who uses it, and Okrian Ryukin felt that his mid-level combat skill could break through this thing's defenses.

"And then? Scratch an itch?" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso didn't even turn his head. For such a huge Ghidorah, a gash was like a human getting a scratch!
“The Anduin River!” Oakrian Ryukin exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the suddenly open expanse of water before him.

"Cross over! Get across!" Archduke Oakrian Yaso said coldly.

“Your Highness is doomed!” Oakrian Ryukin said with a bitter face.

"Roar!" The flowing river suddenly surged with waves, and a terrifying roar echoed across the Anduin River!
