The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.
Chapter 1109 Lord of the Shire, Bilbo Baggins!
Chapter 1109 Lord of the Shire—Bilbo Baggins!
"???" Mayor Charles Paul's face turned pale instantly. How did he suddenly become a rebel? Is he rebelling in his own home? This is interesting?
"Looks like you guys are really stupid! Have you forgotten the history of the Shire?" Roland frowned, realizing this guy wasn't acting; these hobbits genuinely didn't remember they even belonged to the Kingdom of Arno...
“In the Third Age, in 1601, the hobbits first arrived in the Shire. The brothers Marco and Blanco, with the permission of King Argyleb II, settled between the River Brandy and the Far Hills. They led a large caravan of hobbits westward from Bree across the River Brandy and named the land they trod upon the Shire. The hobbits had an obligation to maintain the roads and bridges, and they were to be loyal to the King and ensure the unimpeded passage of his messengers. If I remember correctly, this should be the history of the Shire, right?” Roland began.
"After the end of the Northern Kingdoms in 1975 of the Third Age, in 1979 of the Third Age, the Hobbits elected a governor to assume power when the throne was vacant. Buka of the Swamp was the first governor of the Shire. The lord was also the chairman of the Shire Council and the commander-in-chief of the Shire Militia and the Hobbit Army. Am I right? After that, the Shire remained peaceful, with almost no army, and the lord eventually became a figurehead, eventually transforming into the elected mayor of the Shire!" Roland recounted this epic tale, drawing admiring glances from the crowd. "Wow, impressive! You know about Western history even in the East! The Kingdom of Lagrange truly has a deep foundation!"
"..." Boundless Paul didn't speak, just stared blankly at Roland. He didn't understand who this person was, but he knew that this person knew this land extremely well!
"So! Now the kingdom's army is back! The kingdom will reclaim its sovereignty over this place! The king is qualified to appoint and command the local lords! You have done a good job during your term, but unfortunately you are not a qualified lord! The king will now convene a new meeting to reappoint lords in the presence of all the kings! Do you have any objections?" Roland's words pierced his heart like a sword, and Mayor Charles opened his mouth but could not utter a word.
Roland wasn't lying; Aragorn truly has claims to this land! Even Gondor to the south is within his sphere of influence! Not to mention the Shire, which is directly under the Kingdom of Arnor!
"Summon your representatives from all regions honestly! We're having a meeting! Don't even think about rigging it! I! Lord of the North! Guardian of the East! Dragon Emperor of the North! Heir to the Lagrange Empire! Roland! I allow you to call me Your Majesty!" Roland declared proudly. He was no longer the pathetic lord he once was, but a true king!
“This is the embodiment of the jungle, the darling of the goddess of nature! King Thranduil of the Woodland Kingdom!” Roland pointed at Thranduil, who nodded with an air of superiority.
“This is the King of the Mountain! The Lord of the Dwarves! The Dwarf King—Thorin Oakenshield!” Roland nodded to Thorin, who returned the gesture by patting his chest and nodding in return.
“This is the Lord of the River Valley! King Bard the Dragon Slayer!” Roland pointed at Bard.
"And this one, the eagle of the grasslands! The King of Akvia—White Wing!" Roland pointed to White Wing last.
It can only be said that the North is not big, yet it has created myths! Several kingdoms are crammed into that one patch of Lonely Mountain! A Ringwraith could kick out a paronychia with one kick! Several human, dwarf, and elven dynasties stand there like Buddhas! People with big names can't even open their eyes. Mayor Shire is just a nobody. He can't withstand the pressure of several kings. After listening, he just slumped into a ball.
"Go prepare the place! Get the city hall ready!" Roland bypassed him and gave the order to his soldiers!
"The others guide the soldiers to set up camp along the roads, don't all crowd into the city and block the intersections!" Roland ordered. He didn't want to resort to force unless absolutely necessary, but if these representatives remained obstinate, then his Uncle Roland would have to carry out a campaign called the Great Purge!
……
"Are you sure?" Aragorn sat on the stool, looking as awkward as a prisoner. Bilbo, standing beside him, was even more embarrassed, now fiddling with his bride and picking at his fingers...
"Dragon God! You two, the King of Arno and the future Lord of the Charles... how did you manage to be so unlucky? Can't you have some kingly aura?" Roland looked at the two of them and found that their eyes were filled with the image of Lu Mingfei... a complete loser!
Aragorn is still young, untouched by the harsh realities of society, and lacks the maturity and courage he will possess in the future. At this point, Aragorn is simply a passionate young man who loves Arwen and desires to restore the glory of his ancestors (considering the lifespan of the Dúnedan). He probably doesn't yet realize that he holds one of the strongest forces in the North of Middle-earth! Although the Dúnedan are few in number, their quality is undeniable!
"I thought we brought a whole army with us..." Thorin scratched his head, somewhat speechless. Just like Roland said, even if you can't make sense of it, you can at least tell the difference between a battle axe and a longsword, right? Did you really think we came here for a vacation?
"...So you can raise any objections you have! Once it's written into the contract, it's hard to change! This contract is going to be made public!" Marquis Al-Tegran Franz quietly scanned everyone present with his pen in hand.
“I have no objection!” Roland said, a bachelor.
“I have no objection either!” Thranduil nodded.
“I endorse this contract!” Bard said, patting his chest.
“I bear witness to its legitimacy!” Bai Yi stood up, nodded, and then sat back down.
"The dwarves acknowledge this contract! They recognize its legal validity in the presence of Turin!" Thorin declared solemnly.
"..." Marquis Al-Tegran Franz's gaze fell on Aragon.
"In my name, Chieftain of the Dunedan and heir to the Kingdom of Arno, I declare this contract legal and valid! It shall be effective from this day forward!" Encouraged by the gazes of Roland and the others, Aragorn stood up and publicly exercised his power as lord for the first time!
This contract, known as the "Lords of the Shire," is not complex. Based on Aragorn's legitimacy as heir to the kingdom, it declares and confirms the legitimacy of Bilbo Baggins and his descendants as lords of the Shire. It stipulates Bilbo Baggins's powers as lord and his obligations to the Kingdom of Arnor. For example, Aragorn has the right to summon Bilbo to lead troops to assist him, and Bilbo also has the right to request the kingdom to send troops to help him quell rebellions and solidify his position as lord! Furthermore, this contract was signed in the presence of the kings of the North, and currently, its value is among the highest in Middle-earth!
Mayor Bilbo was not dismissed after he became lord of the Shire. On the contrary, Bilbo continued to appoint him as mayor of the Shire as his assistant governor. Other representatives of the Shire did not resist having multiple lords above them. Perhaps the orcs who were scattered and released played a decisive role! When Bilbo announced that he would form a standing army in the Shire, the resistance he had expected did not occur.
……
“It’s too dreamy, Roland… do you understand? Yesterday I was just an ordinary hobbit…” Bilbo was somewhat at a loss.
"Do a good job, I believe in you! The Charles needs a ruler, and you will bring happiness to the people here, right?" Roland encouraged.
