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

"Cough cough!" Roland coughed up a mouthful of blood, and Doss, who was in the chest, also woke up. It was probably because the ancestral body was still on cooldown, so although the miniature golden dragon roared with all its might, it had no deterrent power at all and was even a bit ridiculous.

"Whoosh!" Roland gritted his teeth and tore open a scroll. A pair of cyan arms emerged from the void, and countless magic arrays bloomed beneath Roland's feet, enveloping the man and the dragon in a cyan shield.

Forbidden Spell! The Arm of the Protector!
The forbidden spell that Apophis Breo traded to Roland was ruined before Roland could even get used to it.

"New side quest detected!" The system's voice suddenly popped up, followed by a semi-transparent blue pop-up window.

"Death and Rebirth! A lonely king has lost his way in the Misty Mountains and is unfortunately pursued by two sixth-tier orcs. Survival or death hangs in the balance! Surrender or fight to the death? Fall to the ground or be reborn! (This quest is automatically accepted and cannot be refused)"

"Mission objective: Kill the pursuers or escape successfully."

"Quest Reward: The loyalty of the Dragon Rider Family—Antonio Doss, a fourth-tier Thunder Dragon Knight!"

"Heh! Go to hell!" Roland laughed and cursed. How did you think I could turn the tables? I was only able to escape because of the miracle of the late Emperor Lagrange!
"A forbidden spell?" Dokge was taken aback, clearly realizing the problem as it was blocked from advancing any further.

"A forbidden spell! This human is something else..." Langdor's eyes were filled with apprehension. To be honest, it really didn't want to fight a dragon knight, let alone a golden dragon knight. Killing a knight meant forging a mortal feud with a dragon, meaning you would live in the shadow of a dragon for the rest of your life! Killing a dragon meant living in the shadow of the dragon race for the rest of your life! When a pure-blooded dragon dies, the blood curse inherent in its bloodline attaches to the creature that killed it. The blood curse will remind every dragon in the vicinity that there is a dragon slayer here... Then congratulations, you will be hated by dragon-blooded creatures for the rest of your life and hunted by every dragon you encounter!

Even a demonic dragon, hated by other dragon clans, would attack a dragon slayer without hesitation. After all, a dragon civil war is a dragon civil war; anyone outside who dares to slay a dragon is doomed! Otherwise, why would so-called dragon slayers spend their entire lives hiding in dark corners? They certainly dare to venture out into the world…

However, at this moment, Dokge couldn't care less about anything else. He might as well go all the way! He had already offended a Golden Dragon Knight to death. If he didn't quickly eliminate the threat, would he wait for the latter to grow stronger and ruin their ancestral graves?
"Attack!" Doctor's greatsword slammed into the forbidden spell, and a pair of cyan hands appeared silently, catching the full force of the sixth-tier overlord's attack without the slightest ripple.

"Roar!" Langdo's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty for a moment. He had clearly figured out the situation. After all, he had already offended this Golden Dragon Knight, and there were no powerful guardians nearby. It was better to eliminate the threat as soon as possible!

"Silver Cross Storm!" Spatial power surged from Langdo's blade. The destructive power of spatial power was extremely strong. The powerful tearing force directly created ripples on the protective forbidden spell, making Roland's heart jump with fear!
"Peerless Ice Extreme!"

As Langdor's dual-attribute battle aura slammed into the forbidden spell shield, the defensive efficiency of the Guardian's Arm noticeably dropped several notches, but apart from the shield becoming slightly thinner, nothing else happened.

Having escaped a false alarm, Roland quickly administered various potions. Although he didn't have many high-end potions, he had taken quite a few of Yun Feng's usual basic potions. After Roland swallowed a large amount of the potions, their effects began to take hold. His displaced internal organs improved significantly, and his injuries were slowly healing.

"No! Too slow!" Roland felt a surge of anxiety as he watched the two orcs swinging their greatswords at incredible speed. After all, no one knew better than him how powerful a sixth-tier attack was; without the protection of the forbidden spell, he probably wouldn't even last one hit...

"Doss! Are you alright?" Roland asked, now relying solely on Doss to escape his predicament.

"Awoo!" Dos shook his head in frustration. Clearly, the power of the ancestors had not responded to him. It must be that his body could no longer withstand the powerful ancestral power. This was a protective mechanism left by the ancestors for their descendants.

"Roar!" Doctor slammed a rocket headbutt into the forbidden spell shield, causing the entire shield to tremble slightly.

"The forbidden spell is about to collapse!" Roland frowned. The increasingly thinning Guardian Arm was clearly at its limit. It was already quite powerful that the forbidden spell had lasted for nearly 5 minutes under the full force of two sixth-tier orcs!

"Doss..."

Roland suddenly pulled the golden dragon Doss from his arms and said softly, "I know you have the ability to leave. Run away... Live well, and if... you have the chance to see my wife, tell her... I love her!"

A glistening tear rolled down Roland's cheek. He didn't belong to this world; to have left his mark on Middle-earth was enough. Let it all just be a dream...

Roland reminisced, realizing he had unknowingly become completely integrated into this world. The name Earth felt both familiar and strange. He could no longer remember the people and events of the past; instead, he remembered Nyx's gentle face and holy body... Caslo's concerned voice, Reno's resolute back, Yunfeng, Omske, and the others... "Time flies!" Roland exclaimed, a faint spatial force flickering in his hand.

"Dragon Emperor...live for me!" Roland gently covered Doss's head with his hand, activating the last of his spatial dragon power, spatial leap! Activated!
A miniature portal opened in his palm, the final path to survival left to him by Doss's ancestor, a path opened by his knight.

"Huh?" Before Doss could react, a suction force pulled him in, and the next second he disappeared from the spot.

"What a careless little fellow!" Roland chuckled, then used the lingering spatial dragon energy to obliterate the spatial anchor point. Clearly, he had figured out how the two orcs had managed to catch up with them!
"Hehe!" Roland laughed, but his bright smile sent chills down the spines of the two sixth-tier orcs who were struggling to attack the forbidden spell.

Although Dokger couldn't understand what he had just done, the most important condition for becoming a sixth-order being to comprehend the laws of space, so he had a basic understanding of the power of space. Seeing that he had sent the dragon away, the hairs on his body stood on end.

Langdo clearly knew what Roland had done. That damned human, seeing no hope of escape, actually cut off his tail to save himself, sacrificing himself to cover the golden dragon's escape through space! He even destroyed the spatial anchor point!!!
"Sweating buckets, buddy!" Roland grinned broadly. Two orcs trying to hunt down royalty... Heh! Guess what those old dragons on Dragon Island will do? Those are golden dragon cubs that even the Ringwraiths wouldn't dare to mess with!
"I am the King of Romanian! Ruler of Swiftstream City and Lulong Fortress! King of the Lagrange Kingdom! Elector of the Lagrange Empire! I bear royal blood... By the late Emperor! May all demons apologize!" Roland, holding the Ten Thousand Dragons Mantra, spoke slowly, his voice deep and majestic. Although the two sixth-tier beings couldn't understand his words, the title "Elector" in that string of titles was unexpectedly jarring. Elector! The person before him was actually one of the successors to the Human Emperor... and ranked first!
"Divine Covenant!" Roland waved his hand and drew a golden six-pointed star array.

"glory!"

"mercy!"

"justice!"

"loyalty!"

"Compassion!"

"guard!"

"brave!"

"humble!"

As Roland chanted, eight halos appeared around him, and his aura reached its peak.

"Do you think you can kill a Lagrange King?" Roland mocked.

"Sacrifice!" As he calmly uttered the last two words, his battle aura finally crossed the peak of the third tier and reached the fourth tier!
"Boom!" The flame of life ignited, and Roland's entire body was engulfed in golden flames. This was the manifestation of his life force. When the flames went out, it also meant the fall of the knight.

"Born to glory! Die with honor! My heart is like my sword! I would rather break than bend!" Roland looked indifferently at the two sixth-tier orcs in front of him through the extremely thin protective spell.

"Bang!" With the frenzied attacks of the two orcs, the Guardian's Arm finally shattered after blocking a heavy blow...

"Die!" With no way out, the two sixth-tier orcs charged frantically at Roland...

Damn it, I've been having writer's block these past few days...
