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

Chapter 633 The Mordland Family (Data Available)
"Huh? They're leaving?" Roland, who was lounging in his chair out of boredom, sat up straight immediately upon hearing the news that the delegation was about to depart.

“Yes, Lord Adrahir will be visiting you soon to say goodbye!” Yun Feng nodded.

"Tsk!" Roland thought to himself, the Doamlos family delegation had indeed been here for a long time, and it was time for them to leave.

……

"How have you been staying these past few days, Your Excellency? The beds in Lagrange may not be as soft and comfortable as those in Gondor!" Roland joked with a smile, his words carrying a hidden sarcasm towards the lazy, complacent southern nobles.

"Hahaha! Not bad. Your kingdom, though young, is definitely prosperous and powerful! Compared to Gondor..." Adrahil shrugged. Compared to the busy nobles here, most of the nobles in Gondor were practically wasting their lives. Although most of them were busier than the nobles of Lagrange, their busyness was usually about banquets or women's bellies...

"Let time tell! Time will prove everything!" Roland nodded with a smile. Time would decide everything, and in the end, Gondor would still need to be destroyed and rebuilt.

"I hope so," Adelahil slowly shook his head.

……

“They’re gone!” Yunfeng said to Roland, standing on the city wall and watching Adrahir and his party depart.

“I don’t care about them right now. What I care about is where the Mordland family is now? I wonder if Omske’s men have met them yet!” Roland squinted at the sky.

The Mordland family is a noble family that Roland obtained through system sign-in. Compared to other noble families, this family is described as having complete strength! This is also the first complete noble family that Roland has obtained so far, unlike other noble families which are just a handful.

“The Mordland family…” Yun Feng closed his eyes and began to ponder, recalling the noble information in the noble catalog.

"This shouldn't be a high-ranking noble family, right?" Yun Feng thought for a while before scratching his head and asking Roland. In his memory, the Mordland family was not among the high-ranking nobles of the empire.

“An old, established border baronial family!” Roland glanced at Yunfeng and said speechlessly. The system's description at the time was that of an old, established border baronial family. Their original family fiefdom was in the southern part of the Rune Mountains. They were genuine border barons, and were on the front lines of the war against Mordor, boasting remarkable military achievements! However, this family's fate was unfortunate. They were the first to be affected during the empire's internal strife. The baron at the time was killed by the Sword and Shield family, and their fiefdom was razed to the ground by the orc army…

"Border Baron?" Yun Feng pouted.

"What kind of strength can a border baron have? Heh..." Yun Feng laughed indifferently. After all, Grand Duke Nyx and Grand Duke Kingland, two top-tier dukes, couldn't even muster a legion of soldiers. What could a border baron do? Ah! How many legions does he have?
"..." Roland gave Yun Feng a meaningful look.

……

"Is this the strength of a border baron? A border baron from the empire at its peak!" Yun Feng's defenses crumbled the moment he saw the army with its banners waving before him. You shouldn't call yourself a border baron anymore. If you were a grand duke in the current Kingdom of Lagrange, it would be an honor for Lagrange to be associated with you!

"Your Highness! The Mordran family pledges its loyalty to you! I am the current head of the family, Yu Mordran!" Yu Mordran knelt on one knee and kissed Roland's hand.

"Get up, you must be tired from your journey!" Roland said, looking at the dark mass behind Yu Modran. System, you're really something! They really are border barons of the Empire!
Roland opened the system panel and glanced at it for a moment before twitching. You'd be more like this guy brought half of the Lagrange Kingdom with him than a border baron!

Population: 54828 (11079 civilians who can be trained)
Evaluation: The lonely king led his surviving people back to their homeland and built this city with high walls. The city has a considerable population, giving it a more vibrant and lively atmosphere. Everything is developing in a positive direction. The city's military strength is formidable, capable of protecting itself even in the face of a large-scale attack. The city has its own vassal territories and appears to be thriving! Note: There is a gap in soldier training, and a lack of training capabilities for awakening professional skills.

Abilities: 1. As the only city of the Lagrange Kingdom in Middle-earth, she will attract the remnants of Lagrange. The system will guide a group of wandering Lagrange civilians to her city every day, hoping that the lord can properly settle them.

2. Allow the recruitment of local civilians to train swift infantry.

3. The administrative center of the Lagrange Kingdom; the people of Lagrange will receive a faith bonus when they are in the city.

Note: The city has just experienced war, and the residents are still immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones.

II. Tupte Territory (Villages):
Buildings: Well, Wall, Lord's Hall, 20 Houses.

Lord: Baron Baldr
People: 349

Assessment: One of the few centaurs in Middle-earth, they are grateful for King Roland Lagrange's kindness and serve him. Note: Although these centaurs are formidable fighters, their small population size makes them less effective in large-scale battles.

III. Lulong Fortress:
Area: One kilometer in radius.

Buildings: 8 Dragon Towers, 100 Heavy Crossbow Towers, Super Magic Rune Walls, War Inscriptions...

Evaluation: This is the last proof of the Empire's existence! Beneath the towering Lulong Fortress lie the remains of orcs, the bones of black knights piled high, evil spirits perished here, darkness buried their bones here, the dark walls are stained with the blood of the Dark Alliance, the entire fortress sits atop a mountain of corpses!
Note: This fortress, which has survived a major battle, is now riddled with holes and needs repair in many places. Fortunately, the powerful kingdom's soldiers have repelled the formidable enemy!
IV. Delwin (town)
Area: 500 meters in radius
Buildings: wooden and stone city walls, basic arrow towers, ordinary houses, wells, taverns...

Population: 1814 (897 civilians can be trained)
Evaluation: A small town primarily based on agriculture, full of vitality, with commerce beginning to revive here, and the neighboring Tupte territory can provide excellent support and assistance.

V. King's Landing Family Fief: King's Landing Lionlands

Knights of the Empire: 16 (one Tier 3, 15 Tier 2)
Valiant Warriors (ordinary soldiers): 600.

Population: 4974.

Evaluation: A competent pioneering nobleman who built a castle and then a simple fortress, thus gaining initial control over the territory and gradually increasing the kingdom's control over this land.

VI. Palembang

Lagrange City Guards: 100

Population: 3000.

Commentary: The king's foresight demonstrates that while one should not harbor malicious intentions, one must always be wary of others! This city bears the heavy responsibility of being a waterway hub and a bridgehead for containing Western countries!

Overall Assessment: A thriving kingdom. Despite the turbulent surroundings, the resilient people of Lagrange tenaciously defend this ancient land, and their king continues to protect what little remains! This war-torn kingdom once again demonstrates its formidable strength! (Suggestion: The kingdom urgently needs more land and people to rebuild. The Eastern Barbarians occupy Dovenian in the east, and the Orcs in the south are entrenched in Dolgod! The ruins of Lagrange still await the king's restoration...) Note: The kingdom is currently engaged in excessive military expansion!

A border baron family brought nearly 20,000 people! And a full-strength 3000-strong Swiftflow Legion! Plus 300 Rune specialties—Dovenian Heavy Swordsmen and 200 Woodland Elite Warriors! They truly brought half of the Lagrange Kingdom!

"How could you..." Roland looked at Yu Modran, hesitating to speak. The only reason people would know you're doing this is because the system sent you to join me. But people who don't know you might think you're here to compete for the throne.

“Since the fall of the empire, one branch of our family has been living a precarious existence in the Rune Mountains. But now the Mordor army is becoming more and more active. Just then, the raven brought you news of you, so I immediately set off with my people,” Yu Mordran said with a shake of his head.

"So what are your thoughts?" Roland raised his eyelids. Although the people recruited by the system were implanted with memories loyal to him, they still had their own thoughts and needs. Moreover, these new recruits were not listed separately but were merged with his own people. Roland suddenly had a bold conjecture.

"To be honest, the Mordran family has clung to its fiefdom for thousands of years after the collapse of the empire, doing everything in its power to maintain this army. The Rune Mountains can no longer sustain it, and the family can no longer afford to support them... Now I wish to offer these people and the army to you, hoping you can bestow the glory of the empire upon them!" Yu Mordran said sincerely, truly at his wit's end! Who among his family understands! A border baronial family has been clinging to its fiefdom for so many years; they simply cannot afford to support them anymore!

"Don't worry! Neither the kingdom nor I will forget the contributions of the Mordland family! In exchange, I will bestow upon the Mordland family the title of hereditary earl! As for the fiefdom... you'll have to wait." Roland blushed as he spoke.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yu Mordran immediately knelt down and kissed Roland's hand. A large bundle had been exchanged for a hereditary earldom! What a windfall! Although holding these troops would bring even more, the Mordran family was penniless when the system materialized them, and simply couldn't afford to support them...
