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

Chapter 335 Bloodhand Hero!
"Bloody Hero Adile!" Adile proudly puffed out his chest, his fighting spirit undiminished, and his sixth-tier aura instantly spread out.

"Hero!" Yun Feng mobilized his magic to raise a barrier, blocking the sixth-tier hero pressure that Adile unconsciously emanated. If he had been a little slower, Roland might have already knelt down.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty!" Adile quickly withdrew his oppressive aura.

"It's alright... Can you start recruiting knights now?" Roland didn't care about Adile's mistake, but only whether Adile could start changing to a knight now.

“Of course! But I need the Knight's Token and the Battle Awakening Rock!” Adile immediately replied proudly, while telling Roland his needs.

"All these things will be prepared for you! You can now go and choose a suitable place to build the Knight's Temple!" Roland was overjoyed.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Adile pounded his chest and turned away.

"Oh my god! Do you know the way? Yunfeng, could you please follow him and show him the way?" Roland watched Adile leave in a hurry and couldn't help but touch his nose, feeling extremely embarrassed.

"Sigh..." Yun Feng shook his head. What a mess.

……

“Here? Are you sure?” Roland looked at the overgrown wasteland and turned to Adile.

“Yes! After all, training squires requires a larger space, and this place in the East City is currently abandoned. It can be put into use after the ground is leveled. As for the Knight Temple, that thing can be built later. That thing is just a container for storing awakening and job change mediums!” Adile spoke very clearly, and it was obvious that he wanted to use the best resources where they were most needed.

"Old Master Radil... I'm sorry to trouble you!" Roland said with a smile, after all, Radil still needed to put in some effort to fix the magic-patterned stone bricks here.

“It’s alright, the old man isn’t much use anyway, let’s just consider it as making the most of his remaining energy!” Radil said to Roland with a smile.

"Boom!" Radil raised both hands, and a massive surge of magical energy spread out, forcibly compressing blocks of magical stone into place, with intricate magical runes spreading out...

……

"Have you heard? A notice has been posted in the castle, recruiting knights and squires. If you perform well, you can become a noble knight!" Some of the townspeople were talking among themselves.

"Ah! Really? Our King has actually recruited soldiers!" A commoner exclaimed in shock. After all, Roland had never recruited soldiers since the kingdom was restored. The people of the entire kingdom had been recuperating and rebuilding, and they had always hoped to join the army to defend the country, but the kingdom had never conscripted soldiers before.

"Yes! The pay is quite good! I heard it's five silver coins a month!" a literate villager read aloud.

"Five silver coins? That's a lot? The city guards next door only make about ten silver coins a month... and they're second-tier professionals! How could an ordinary soldier make so much?" Someone in the know scoffed.

"Idiot! A knight's squire is practically a knight in the making. Even if he doesn't become a knight, he can become a cavalryman, you know? Cavalrymen get the same pay as you infantrymen!" the bystander scoffed.

Regardless of what the common people discussed, the news of the kingdom's recruitment quickly spread throughout its controlled territory. Countless young people were eager to try, since there were no age requirements for awakening in the Central Plains, and there were many late bloomers among the professionals...

……

"The news has been released?" Roland glanced sideways at Yun Feng.

"Hmm! I reckon His Majesty Adile will be quite busy!" Yun Feng shook his head with a smile. "What's wrong?" Roland asked curiously.

"Think about those energetic young men full of patriotism! I bet Adila will be busy for a while!" Yun Feng couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the huge crowd he saw at the notice board. Just thinking about how some people would be exhausted made Yun Feng feel like he was floating on air. Sure enough, the smile didn't disappear, it just moved on!
"Hehehe!" A strange, sly smile flickered in Yun Feng's eyes.

"Your Highness! His Majesty Adil requests an audience!" a guard approached and announced.

"Let him in!" Roland nodded, presumably Adile had encountered some problems and came to seek help.

"Your Majesty! There are too many people! I can't handle it all!" Adile went straight to Roland to complain as soon as he entered, his eyes full of helplessness and exhaustion. Those enthusiastic young people had worn him out.

"Hehehe~" Yun Feng turned his back and tried to suppress his laughter, but his trembling shoulders and the sounds that escaped showed how excited he was.

“Your Majesty, I need manpower. How about letting His Majesty Yun Feng come down and help? He doesn’t seem to have anything to do,” Adile said tentatively. After all, he had only found Roland and Yun Feng, two idle people, after looking around. He couldn’t possibly ask His Majesty to do work for him, so he could only ask His Majesty Yun Feng.

"Okay, fine! Let Yunfeng go with you... Pfft!" Roland couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yunfeng's mechanical turn of the head and the murderous look in his eyes.

"Your Highness..." Yun Feng said with deep resentment, her eyes filled with helplessness and unwillingness.

"No! My word is law and cannot be changed!" Roland immediately shut down Yun Feng's next words.

"..." Yun Feng.

"You're ruthless!" Yun Feng shrugged and left with Radil, his face dark.

"Ouch... Pfft! Hahaha!" Roland almost laughed himself silly. Yun Feng's distorted expression was really funny. It turns out that smiles don't really disappear, they just shift.

……

"Good heavens..." Yun Feng slapped his forehead, regretting that he hadn't persisted a little longer and pestered Roland. Looking at the sea of ​​people, Yun Feng was completely at a loss.

"You get it? I really can't help it..." Adile shrugged, his eyes full of helplessness. Sometimes, the people's excessive enthusiasm is not a good thing, like in this situation now, where even with a group of city guards maintaining order, they almost broke through the human wall...

"Ahem! Quiet!" Yun Feng used a small spell to make her voice instantly spread throughout the entire recruitment site.

“Your Highness and I have seen everyone’s enthusiasm and initiative, but we have a limited number of openings and can only select the best candidates! Now let our knight instructor, His Majesty Adile, announce the conditions!” Yun Feng quickly introduced Adile.

Adile's lips twitched, and he stepped forward helplessly: "The requirements are simple! First: good health! Second: height over 1.75 meters! Third: age between 16 and 35! That's it. Those who meet the requirements, step forward!"

Adile's voice was incredibly authoritative; even without magical amplification, its booming volume ensured that everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

With a whoosh, the crowd parted sparsely, and about three hundred people emerged, their eyes filled with hope as they looked at Adile.
