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

Chapter 293 The General's Battle Robe Stained with Soldiers' Blood (The End)
"Their defenses are about to be breached! Go and inform Reno! Tell him to advance through the gap we've created!" Luke Leopold roared, his body stained with blood.

"As ordered!"

……

"Understood! Knights, prepare to charge!" Renault waved his hand, his gaze fixed on the distance where the Empire's loyal subjects were engaged in a fierce battle with the orcs.

"Born to glory! Die with honor! My heart is like my sword! I would rather break than bend!" Renault drew his longsword, raised it high above his head, and roared fiercely.

"Knights of the North! Charge! Let us charge into Lagrange! Let us charge to the ends of the earth! Let us charge into death! Long live the great Empire!" Renault shouted.

"Glory! Mercy! Justice..." Renault roared, and a massive divine battle aura surged into the sky.

Behind him, streaks of battle energy of various colors soared into the sky, twisting and mixing to cover everyone's bodies.

The entire Knights have successfully united; they are now a single, indestructible order! The damage inflicted by the enemy will be borne by all of them, and this legion will unleash the most deafening roar outside the city of Lagrange.

"We come from the North! Knights, charge!" Renault roared, bringing his sword down with a fierce blow.

"Clatter clatter clatter~" The light thud of hooves echoed across the battlefield.

After a while, as the knights accelerated, the entire knightly order had caught up in speed.

"Boom boom boom!" The deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed through the sky.

"Oh! Damn it! These scum have hidden a knightly order! Stop them! Stop them!" The orc leader, Golden Egg, narrowed its eyes. The terrifying tremor made its legs quiver. Its subconscious told it... it couldn't stop them, or it would die!
"Quick! Stop them!" Golden Egg grabbed an orc who was trying to escape and threw him over. The poor orc was overwhelmed by the frenzied swift infantry in the next second.

……

"My lord! Our people and orcs are mixed up! What should we do? Should we go around them?" Gazing at the battlefield that stretched for dozens of miles, a knight shouted in Reno's ear, the howling wind almost drowning out his voice.

"Slow down!" Renault suddenly said.

"Huh?" The knights around almost fell off their horses.

"I said slow down! Stop!" Renault roared in fury.

……

"Damn it! What kind of trouble are these knights causing?" a legion commander spat out a mouthful of blood and said unhappily.

"Oh no! Our soldiers are mixed up with orcs..." The legion commander wasn't stupid; he immediately realized what was happening.

"Messenger! Flag signals! Tell those old men on horseback...to trample over us!" The legion commander exhaled fiercely, his eyes bloodshot and terrifying.

As the messenger waved his flag, all the knights who were preparing to slow down were immediately jolted, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"My lord...we should..."

"Stop!" Renault said with difficulty.

"You're committing a crime! How many people have broken through the orcs' ranks for us? We're now just one step away..."

"If I charge, I'll be committing a crime!" Renault roared, slowing his horse down. As the lead knight, his slowing down forced everyone behind him to slow down as well.

However, the battlefield didn't give Renault much time to hesitate... All of their assault infantry had been wiped out, and at that moment, orcs were continuously coming in to fill the gaps, trying to form a formation to block this only variable.

Five plumes of black smoke rapidly approached from the distant horizon; those were the Ringwraiths who had discovered the problem!
"Knights! Charge!" Enraged, Renault brandished his longsword and charged forward. The distance of several hundred meters was nothing more than a blink of an eye for the high-speed charging knights! "Bang!" The instantaneous contact allowed the first few rows of orcs to quickly learn the "flying" skill.

"Kill!" The light of lances flashed, and the Arrowhead Assault Knights were the sharpest blade on the battlefield!

Swarms of orcs were crushed and tossed about, their cries of death and injury a desperate attempt to avoid the knights' direct assault. But how could the knights, now bloodthirsty, allow them to do so? Judging by their demeanor, even the dog from the east end of the village would get a few stabs if it came along today.

"Roar!" The golden egg was furious. He never expected that his defensive line would have such a big flaw. Now he had to make up for his mistake!

"Get out of my way, you scum!" As a descendant of the ancient orcs, Golden Egg possesses some of the bloodline of the ancient orcs! That's something these weak orcs can't compare to!
"Boom!" Golden Egg swung his huge club, and instantly more than a dozen Swift Infantrymen were swept away, their bones shattered and they flew out like limp sacks of flour.

"Kneel down! You lowly orc scum!" A sudden roar erupted, and a gleaming sword slashed down on its shoulder. The blade, half-embedded in its shoulder, fueled the golden egg's rage and madness even more!

"Roar! Orcs will never be slaves!" Golden Egg roared, swinging its club, and instantly sent all the Swift Infantry except Luke flying backward! Only Luke managed to dodge its attack thanks to his agile movements.

"Orcs! Pigmen!" Luke's pupils shrank. This ancient race actually still had descendants. A real orc was actually mixed in with the half-orcs!

"The Pigman's sacred artifact! The Frost Mace!" Luke's lips twitched. This famous mace left a deep impression on all the Lagranges. Anyone who had read history knew that the Lagranges and Orcs had fought each other. Unlike the weak Orcs, the Orcs truly terrified all the Lagranges. Their individual combat power was enough to physically subdue any creatures that dared to defy them—including humans!
"Feel the sorrow!" Golden Egg, already aroused by the blood, had fallen into a berserk state and had long since lost his reason. Intercepting the Knights? Sorry, what does that have to do with me? I'm going to crush these human scum who dared to challenge me!

"Everyone! Surround him and kill him!" Luke roared.

"Woo-woo~" The short, sharp bugle call to assemble and attack sounded, and every legion that could spare a moment began to send its fresh troops to gather in the direction of the bugle call.

……

"Die!" The golden egg roared to the sky. The ancient orcs were undoubtedly terrifying, their fighting power even made the elves hesitate. But he was undoubtedly pathetic... because he was all alone.

"Roar!" Golden Egg roared angrily, casually smashing several Swift Infantrymen who came forward to his feet to death. At this moment, a mountain of corpses truly appeared beneath his feet! Hundreds of Swift Infantrymen, their bodies twisted in death, were trampled under his feet. As a price, his body was covered in wounds, and the overflowing blood had soaked through his entire body!
"For the Horde!" Golden Egg roared as he leaped up and charged toward Luke Leopold, determined to kill this ant who dared to try and kill him!
"Watch out! General!" The guard beside him was filled with fear. Without thinking, he kicked Luke Leopold more than ten meters away, but he himself was smashed into the ground like a blooming "tomato sauce".

"No!" Luke Leopold roared, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Charge! Kill him! For the Empire! For our fallen brothers!" Luke Leopold picked up a spear and charged forward.

"Ouch!" Golden Egg howled in pain, and the Frost Mace in his right hand fell to the ground as a Swift Footman smashed his spiked mace into Golden Egg's right shoulder!
Although this brave swift infantryman was torn to pieces in the next second, he still set an example for everyone! He brought hope! Mortals swarming and killing a fifth-tier enemy!

"Thud!" The sound of a short sword piercing flesh rang out as Jin Dan's calf was pierced. He angrily raised his foot and stomped the soldier to death, but unexpectedly, he was swarmed by the others!

"Kill! Kill this devil!" Everyone grabbed their weapons and frantically stabbed at the golden egg!

"Awooo~ Ah~ woowoo..." The golden egg's roar gradually turned into a wail and finally into a sob, and its counterattack power became weaker and weaker.

……

"Hoo hoo hoo!" Luke knelt on one knee, looking at the enormous pigman in front of him, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes. This damned monster had finally been crushed to death by them!
Luke struggled to his feet. He looked around and saw all the orcs and Swiftfoot lying on the ground, one after another. In the distance, the Swift Legion and orcs were still fighting fiercely. The belated banners of the Allied Forces could be vaguely seen behind him... We won! He thought to himself, but he ignored the twitching golden egg.

"Ow!"

With a loud "bang!", a sound like a watermelon bursting open was accompanied by a roar from the golden pigman egg. The last remaining orc of this world used the last bit of strength in his life to touch his pigman artifact and deliver a fatal blow to Luke. Afterward, he twitched a few times and his eyes went glazed over.

"Pfft!" Luke, his chest caved in, lay on the pile of corpses, staring at the sky in shock. Damn it! He'd finally been caught off guard...

"Cough cough... Brothers... Merck... Everyone... I've come to the Dragon... God to find you......" Luke slowly stopped breathing, becoming one with the earth like the thousands of ordinary Swift Infantry under his command!
……

The siege of Lagrange was won. Renault's Knights of Favonius became the final straw, completely tipping the scales of victory. With the sounding of the attack horn, the defense of Lagrange officially began! The 500,000 Swift Infantry from the North remained forever on land more than 22 miles from Lagrange, never to participate in this epic battle… But the world will never forget those Swift Infantry, whose relentless sacrifice ensured the arrival of the reinforcements Lagrange desperately needed…

Every one of them was a hero, and the crimson cloak of every Imperial officer was stained with their blood!
The general's battle robe was stained with the soldiers' blood, but the soldiers were willing to die for their cause!
This series of chapters is dedicated to the blue "Swift Current" that once shocked the Central Plains! We are not generals, but each of us is a Swift Current!
