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

Chapter 338 Discussion
"..." Roland.

"..." Verway

The two of them had been staring at each other for a long time, but neither of them spoke first, waiting for the other to back down. You have to admit, men's damn competitive spirit is something else...

"King Roland, don't you have anything to say? Don't you want to apologize to me?" In the end, Verway couldn't help but speak first.

"Why should I apologize? It wouldn't be right for a guest to sneak away... It would make me, the host, seem like I haven't been hospitable enough!" Roland said sarcastically.

"Heh, as the host, you don't even realize you've lost your guest. It seems you don't value this guest at all. Since they don't welcome you, you might as well leave sooner!" Verway, being the old cynic, immediately retorted to Roland.

"Where, where..."

After another round of bickering, the two returned to staring at each other. Roland wasn't embarrassed and just stared at Verway quietly, while Verway wasn't annoyed and looked directly at Roland.

Looking at the two people arguing, Caslo almost embarrassed himself so much that he dug out a whole city of Lagrange with his toes. He felt that these two could make him look like a fool among the orcs! One of them had no kingly demeanor whatsoever, and the other had no sixth-tier boss-like manners at all. The two of them were actually playing a staring contest because of their tempers.

All Caslow could say was, "Have you no shame!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Roland glanced at Verwy, who was staring at him intently, and saw contempt in Verwy's eyes.

Can Roland tolerate this? Since the Battle of Lonely Mountain, who has dared to give Roland the cold shoulder? The only one who dared to talk back to Roland, Azog, has already had his brains knocked out by Roland.

"What are you looking at?" Verwy snorted. The arrogance of elves was well-known in Middle-earth. Wasn't looking down on people a required course for every elf?
"Want to practice?" Roland pursed his lips, feeling that his royal dignity had been challenged.

"You? Are you sure? A third-tier paladin? You want to fight a sixth-tier hunter like me? Do you even think you can handle it?" Verway's three deadly attacks practically screamed contempt. And it wasn't Verway exaggerating; in a real fight, killing him, Luo, would only take three strikes, and with a bow, it might just be one arrow…

"Heh!" Roland sneered. This touched a nerve with Roland. How could a man say no? If he, Verwy, weren't a male, Roland would have immediately shown any elf woman who said that to him whether he could handle it or not! Nyx was always the first to beg for mercy! Roland always acted with absolute authority as a husband!
"Caslo! Go!" Roland narrowed his eyes.

"If I can't beat him, I'll introduce Ajax to another guy!" Twilight Roland added, which instantly cheered up Caslo, who was originally very unwilling.

"A fifth-tier dragon rider general?" Verway narrowed his eyes. He now felt threatened. A fifth-tier dragon rider general was already on par with him, and if he brought a dragon...

"How can you cheat like this?" Verway's face darkened. No one could withstand two against one!

"Caslo, don't bother with Karl. If you, a fifth-tier dragon knight, can't beat a weakling hunter, you might as well die!" Roland saw through Verway's concerns, and at the same time, he also wanted to know how strong Caslo's combat power was without the dragon's blessing.

"You bastard! Who are you calling a noob?" Verviers immediately became displeased. Having lived with Roland for so long, he knew that "noob" was hardly a compliment. "Whoever gets angry gets it, right?" Roland said with a smile, finding it quite amusing to see Verviers humiliated.

"Let's fight! Come on!" Verway drew his Manicart, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. Unlike the woodland elves, the grassland elves were not so gentle. Years of walking on the edge of life and death made this branch of elves very good at fighting. If they were of equal skill, Thranduil would definitely not be able to beat Verway. If it was a fight to the death, Thranduil would definitely be the one to die!

……

"Boom!" The violent shockwave almost blew Roland away while he was watching the battle.

Verway's Heavy Slash skill and Caslo's Thrust skill collided fiercely. Battle Aura and Dragon Force intertwined and suddenly erupted, almost killing Roland, the third-tier little Karami... However, Roland clearly sensed that Caslo's domineering Dragon Force tore apart part of Verway's Fire Battle Aura. Overall, it was Verway who suffered a loss!
"Dragon Knights are terrifying!" Roland sighed inwardly. Under the influence of the dragons, the battle aura of dragon knights would be transformed into dragon power, just like that of the dragon race. And the energy level of dragon power was obviously higher than that of battle aura! Although Verway was a sixth-tier warrior and Caslo was a fifth-tier warrior, it was still Verway who was at a disadvantage. It was only because his huge base of battle aura flames made up for the battle aura that was annihilated by the dragon power that he barely managed to fight to a draw!
"Whoosh!" Verway unleashed a follow-up slash, instantly closing in and placing his longsword directly at Caslo's neck.

"Bang!" Caslo calmly raised his dragon spear, its exaggerated length acting as the best shield to block Valve's tricky slash.

"Holy crap!" Roland's eyes widened. What did he see? A Qilin Arm? That was a hydraulic arm! Caslo wielded the three-zhang dragon spear like a needle. No wonder he used to see dragon knights wreak havoc in foot combat in games. So this ten-meter radius was a death zone? And with the spear light propelled by dragon power... good heavens! No one would survive within twenty meters?
"Boom!" Caslo slammed his spear into the ground, and a series of circular shockwaves instantly swept outwards. Before Verway could even make a move, Roland involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Thump thump thump~" With a few light leaps, Verway dodged Caslo's attack. However, Caslo had also achieved his goal—to create distance! After all, it was a ten-meter-long dragon spear. It was still a disadvantage to fight the melee master, the grassland elf, face to face. Ten to twenty meters was the most comfortable distance for dragon knights to fight on foot!
"Whoosh~" As Verway's eyes twitched, Caslo swung the dragon spear in a wide arc. Verway's face turned green as he heard the whooshing sound of dragon power tearing through the air from the spear.

"I..." Verway had no time to react and could only raise the Manicathlon to protect his chest.

"Boom!" After a long, drawn-out roar, Roland finally found the dying Verway under a large tree that had been broken in two, dozens of meters away.

"Holy Light!" Roland quickly raised his hand and used Holy Light to heal. He hoped that Caslo wouldn't actually kill him. Although he believed that Caslo was careful, what if Valve was not so tough? After all, everyone knew that elves were fragile.

"Pfft!" Verway spat out a mouthful of blood, instantly feeling much better. He leaned on his sword and stood up unsteadily.

"What was that move? You didn't use your full strength, otherwise I might be crippled!" Verway's eyes were full of seriousness and a strong thirst for knowledge. A skill that could cripple a hunter in one strike was definitely not simple. Although he was caught off guard, a loss was a loss...

"Dragon Rider Infantry Spear Technique: Dragon-Breaking Spear!" Caslo said somewhat awkwardly. He hadn't infused much dragon power yet; if he had really used his full strength, the battle might have already begun.

"Impressive! But I only lost in close combat; I haven't even used my archery skills yet!" Although Verway was convinced of his defeat, he hadn't actually gone all out.

"Come on! Why don't you mention that you didn't even summon Caslo's dragon? Why don't you try using a forbidden dragon spell?" Roland laughed so hard he almost fell over. It was rare to see such a proud elf get the short end of the stick!
"..." Verway indicated that he didn't want to pay attention to the smug king; it was the dragon rider who defeated him, not the king himself.
