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

"Prepare for war!" Renault patted the two men on the shoulder and handed them the proclamation.

"Let's publish the proclamation to everyone! At least let the soldiers know what they're going to face!" Ignoring their reactions, Renault shook his head and walked away. After all, for Renault, it didn't matter whether he published it or not, since he was going to have to clash with the orc army anyway.

"Swish!" Renault drew his longsword and twirled it. He looked at the reflection of the figure on the blade. The young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes now had a few traces of sorrow and vicissitudes creeping into the corners of his eyes.

"For Your Highness!" he whispered.

……

"Sigh... how do we mobilize these troops?" Roland tilted his head, chewing on his quill pen, and pondered as he looked at the system in the void.

目前整个拉格朗王国罗兰直属的部队有兵力：3543人！其中圣耀骑士团：二阶拉格朗帝国先锋骑士110名。拉格朗城卫兵：二阶战士200名。巴丹尼亚射手：二阶射手800名。多温尼安重装剑士：二阶剑士100名。埃尔尼诺游侠：二阶游侠100名。洛丹伦游侠：二阶游侠50名。拉格朗皇家近卫：200名（三阶）疾流军团：疾流步兵1500名。征召轻步兵：轻步兵200名。拉格朗重骑兵：重骑兵100名。牧师：二阶牧师8名。法师：火系二阶法师1名。十字军枪盾兵：100名。十字军弓箭手：300名。十字军重盾兵：20名。十字紫荆花骑士：15名（二阶）。公国轻骑兵：26名。林地锐士：二阶战士10名。狮鹫骑士：4名（二阶），虽然看着兵力很多，其实对于王国这么大的摊子来看无疑是捉襟见肘。

"The cavalry definitely need to be brought out, after all, we need mobile forces to act as a fire brigade. 110 Lagrange Vanguard Knights, 100 heavy cavalry, 26 light cavalry, 5 Griffin Knights, 2 Dragon Knights..." Roland picked up his pen and started writing, his brow furrowing slightly. Sure enough, you only realize how few troops you have when you need them...

"Lulong cannot be lost; we need our strongest fist there!" Roland wrote decisively after a moment's thought.

"Set up camp at Lulong Fortress, with all the Swift Infantry! And 200 Lagrange City Guards there too! All 800 Battanian Archers, move in! Leave the Dovenian Heavy Swordsmen there as well; the iron cans are what the fortress needs most. The Elnino Rangers… well, let them stay at Lulong Fortress. Their Dragon Arrows are natural enemies of dragonblood creatures; who knows if Sauron has equipped those Ringwraiths with demon dragons." Roland muttered to himself, drawing a circle around the Elnino Rangers, solidifying their resolve to station them at Lulong.

“Now Lulong has an army of 2700 men…tsk tsk tsk! More than the capital city now! These men should be enough to keep Lulong Fortress running. The rest of the Crusaders can come back to guard Swiftstream City. Send four priests over, and the fire mage too…” Roland hummed a song as he wrote and drew.

……

"Ah! Are you crazy, Your Highness! Don't you want your home anymore?" Omske's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he held the transfer order. That wretched evil one actually impersonated my lord?! Hey! Take this!
"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and mobilize the troops! I want everyone back in position before the orc army arrives!" Roland kicked Omske, who was groping him, and said with a sullen face. He, Roland, the upright King of Lagrange, had no homosexual tendencies.

"No? You don't want Swiftstream City anymore?" Omske's eyes widened. Could it be that His Highness is not comfortable in this small, dilapidated city and is planning to move the capital?
"???" Roland looked at him like he was an idiot.

Omske seemed to understand Roland's thoughts and hurriedly waved the transfer order, shouting excitedly, "What's the difference between transferring these troops and abandoning Swiftstream City? Is Marcus going to defend the city with these mediocre young infantry and Crusaders?"

Just then, Knight Commander Lavian, who happened to be passing by, twitched his ears. Damn it! He felt offended! "Let me see?" Marcus, the person in question, also came over after hearing the noise. After bowing to Roland, he took the order without waiting for Omske to speak.

"Pfft!" Marcus, who had been calm and collected, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. This was more than just a bunch of deformed lads! Marcus felt there was no need to defend the city walls anymore; he might as well retreat to the lord's castle! Here, we must mention the dedication of Marcus and Lance. The original two-story lord's castle, thanks to their continuous reinforcement and expansion, is now a full five stories high! Moreover, four secondary castles have been added to the side. Only now does the lord's castle barely meet the standards of a king.

“This time, the orcs are coming in a fierce manner. Lulong Fortress is the first line of defense. It has no reinforcements, so we can only allocate as many troops as possible…” Roland then explained leisurely.

"What about Swiftstream City? Should I trade light infantry and orcs for it?" Marcus's eyes widened.

"That's not necessary. Don't forget there are still more than 20,000 residents in the city. If necessary, we can mobilize the masses!" Roland waved his hand. If the orcs really came to the city gates, not to mention the able-bodied men, even the women would have to take kitchen knives and go to the battlefield!
“This…” Omsk and Marcus exchanged a glance.

"The casualties are probably..." What Omske didn't say was that the casualties would probably be shocking to everyone. After all, no one knew how badly untrained civilians would fight, relying only on their passion.

"It's better than the city and fortress falling! Besides, they might not even be able to get here!" Roland shook his head. In addition, the orcs might not even be able to get to the foot of Swiftstream City. After all, to get to the foot of Swiftstream City, they would first have to besiege Lulong Fortress and then break through the mobile harassment of various knights from the Kingdom of Lagrang. Only when both of their dragon riders were tied up could they see Swiftstream City.

“Sigh…” Omsk sighed.

"I will do my best to set up the city's defenses!" Marcus was filled with fighting spirit. For a city defense officer, it was a disgrace to have to send civilians into battle.

"Relax, maybe those scum won't even show up in front of us? I'll set up their flanks and they still won't get through! A bunch of filthy trash trying to bypass Lulong Fortress?" Roland scoffed disdainfully. Did they really think this war fortress, stained black and purple with orc blood, was a joke?

"..." Omsk had a bad feeling at this moment. After all, Roland's flag was planted too outrageously. A hint of worry appeared in Omsk's eyes... If the orcs really managed to get around, then it would be time for the Knights to fight them to the death.

However, Omske quickly shook his head. Even if they didn't bypass Lulong, they would have to fight to the death! After all, judging from King Roland's past command strategies, the Knights would definitely be the first line of troops to engage the orcs. The tough and reliable Knights would definitely wear down the orcs' strength and energy along the way...

Upon thinking of this, Omske instantly laughed. Heh! Marcus was in for a headache. He no longer had to worry about how to deploy a few hundred soldiers for defense. He could just lead his troops out to kill people. City defenses were none of his concern!
