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

Chapter 255 Review of Territory Information
"I wonder how Swiftstream City is doing now, whether Nyx misses me... whether Yunfeng is keeping an eye on the house?" Roland's thoughts had already drifted far away as he closed his eyes.

"System, check the territory information!" Roland, who had closed his eyes, suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked at his territory page in a long time. He wanted to check how Swiftstream City was developing after being away from home for so long.

"Please check, host!" The system's light screen quietly floated in front of Roland's eyes, visible only to Roland.

territory:

1. Rapid City:

Area: One kilometer in radius.

Building units: 1 minor flawed lord's castle, 100 ordinary row houses, intermediate magic-inlaid walls, stone wells, blacksmith shops, barracks, archer temples, and arrow towers!

Commanders: Caslo (Tier 3), Renault (Tier 4), Radil (Tier 4), Yunfeng (Tier 6), Omske (Tier 6), Apophis Breo (Tier 3), Lavian (Tier 4), Holin (Tier 2)

Special personnel: Ivy (Tier 3), Grand Duke Nyx: Nyx ​​(Tier 2), Nina Bonn (Tier 1).

City Defense Officer: Marcus (Tier 4)
Political Officer: Lance (Second Rank)
Troop strength: 3405
Holy Knights Order: 100 Tier 2 Lagrange Knights.

Lagrange City Guards: 100 Tier 2 Warriors

Battanian Shooters: 800 Tier 2 Shooters.

Dovenian Heavy Swordsmen: 100 Tier 2 Swordsmen.

El Niño Ranger: 100 Tier 2 Rangers.

Lagrange Royal Guard: 200 (Tier 3)

Swiftflow Legion: 1200 Swiftflow Infantry

Recruit 200 light infantrymen.

Lagrange Heavy Cavalry: 100 heavy cavalrymen

Priests: 8 Tier 2 Priests

Mage: One second-tier fire mage

Crusader Lancers: 100

Crusader archers: 300

Crusader Heavy Shieldmen: 20

Cross Bauhinia Knights: 20

Duchy Light Cavalry: 30

King's Knights: 16

Woodland Warriors: 10 Tier 2 Warriors

Population: 12193 (3744 civilians who can be trained)
Assessment: The lonely king led his surviving people back to their homeland and built this city with high walls. The city now has some residents, giving it a more vibrant and lively atmosphere. Everything is developing in a positive direction. The city's military strength is formidable, with a sufficient number of eligible soldiers! The city can fully defend itself even against a large-scale attack. Note: With the king away on a campaign, the nation constantly faces the crisis of having no successor!
Abilities: 1. As the only city of the Lagrange Kingdom in Middle-earth, she will attract the remnants of Lagrange. The system will guide a group of wandering Lagrange civilians to her city every day, hoping that the lord can properly settle them.

2. Allows the recruitment of local civilians to train Swift Infantry. 3. The administrative center of the Lagrange Kingdom; the people of Lagrange will receive a faith bonus while in the city.

II. Tupte Territory (Villages):
Buildings: Well, Wall, Lord's Hall, 20 Houses.

Lord: Baron Baldr
People: 317

Assessment: One of the few centaurs in Middle-earth, they are grateful for King Roland Lagrange's kindness and serve him. Note: Although these centaurs are formidable fighters, their small population size makes them less effective in large-scale battles.

III. Lulong Fortress:
Area: One kilometer in radius.

Buildings: 8 Dragon Towers, 100 Heavy Crossbow Towers, Super Magic Rune Walls, War Inscriptions...

Evaluation: This is the last proof of the Empire's existence! Beneath the towering Lulong Fortress lie the remains of orcs, the bones of black knights piled high, evil spirits perished here, darkness buried their bones here, the dark walls are stained with the blood of the Dark Alliance, the entire fortress sits atop a mountain of corpses!
Overall Assessment: A thriving kingdom. Despite the turbulent surroundings, the resilient people of Lagrange tenaciously defend this ancient land, and their king continues to protect what little remains! (Suggestion: The kingdom urgently needs more land and people to revive. The Eastern Barbarians occupy Dovenian in the east, and the Orcs in the south are entrenched in Dolgod! The ruins of Lagrange still await the king's restoration...)
After carefully reading every word, Roland slowly closed his eyes. Good, everything was on the right track. He just needed to continue developing well, and at least he wouldn't have any problem establishing himself in the perilous world of Middle-earth.

"The population still needs to increase. The current population is still too small. Land reclamation, conscription of soldiers, and city building all require a large population!" Roland thought to himself. Although he could raise an army of several thousand if he were to wage war, there were no able-bodied young men left in the kingdom.

“Once the population grows a bit more, we can radiate out some villages and settlements from Swiftstream City. The journey from the city to the fields is too long for the people!” Roland pondered. Right now, Swiftstream City doesn’t have a large population, and the farmland around the city isn’t far away. Farmers can walk home in just a few steps. But as the population grows, the reclamation of large amounts of farmland will inevitably take them further and further away from the city, making travel inconvenient. So Roland plans to think things through carefully. After all, villages can’t be too far from the city. If war breaks out, the city should at least be able to protect the surrounding villagers.

"Ugh...headache!" Roland opened his eyes, his nostrils filled with the pungent smell of blood. The stench, combined with the hastily disposed and piled-up goblin ogres, deeply stimulated Roland's nerves.

"Damn it! I can't sleep!" Roland cursed under his breath, then helplessly rolled over and drew his sharp Dragon Slayer sword to begin wiping it.

"Hmm?" Caslo opened his eyes groggily, glanced at the scene, then closed them again and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Did you sleep well, my knight?" Roland stared resentfully at Omske, who had panda eyes.

"Your Highness, you haven't rested well?" he asked tentatively, looking at Roland Omsk, whose complexion was extremely poor.

"Thanks to you guys for making this place a bloody mess! It made me so disgusted that I couldn't sleep all night!" Roland said irritably.

"Hehe! Your Highness, you still need to get used to the battlefield. You'll get used to it after a while!" Omske chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.

"Forget it, I feel like I won't have many more opportunities to go to the battlefield in the future!" Roland sighed. As his troops grew stronger, Roland felt that his chances of personally leading troops into battle were getting lower and lower. Moreover, these generals with professional military skills were much better than him, a half-baked one. Besides, as his family and business grew, most of his subordinates did not approve of him appearing on the battlefield anymore.

“Yes! When the king goes to the battlefield, it will be an epic battle!” Omske said meaningfully to Roland.

"Let's pack up and let the soldiers finish their meal. We'll prepare to continue our march; time is running out!" Roland nodded. Whether it was the Battle of Lonely Mountain, the Battle of Dolgodo, or the current Battle of Moria, almost every war he had participated in was an epic battle worthy of being recorded in history.

"Good morning, King Roland!" Bahrain, fully armed, walked over and greeted him with a smile.

"If we're really counting the time, it might be noon right now!" Roland joked.

"Hahaha! Good afternoon!" Bahrain laughed as well.

"Let's pack up and get ready to continue!" Roland said seriously.

"Wait a moment, we still need to collect and bury the remains of our fallen heroes!" Bahrain's smile faded.

“Of course, we understand.” Roland nodded.
