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

Chapter 682 A blessing in disguise
"Tsk!" Roland raised an eyebrow, following Apophis Breo's gaze to see Linde, and instantly memories of the past surfaced in his mind...

"Greetings, King Roland!" Linde, with a grim face, reluctantly approached Roland and greeted him with a pat on his chest. After all, Roland was the king of the human race, and the elves had to show him this much respect.

"It's alright, I just didn't expect it to be you. Thank you for your support, Rivendell. Please give my regards to the warriors who went into battle and to King Elrond!" Roland nodded. What happened back then is long gone, there's no need to make everyone unhappy over such a small matter.

“I will! I’ll take my leave now.” Lind nodded, then turned to make arrangements for the elven soldiers.

"Did you suffer heavy casualties?" Roland turned to look at Balin curiously, after all, the dwarves and elves were the main force in the middle stages of the battle!

"The dwarves are alright; those bastards couldn't break through our armor. But the elves have suffered heavy casualties; they must have lost dozens!" Balin shook his head regretfully. For intelligent races like elves and dwarves, whose populations are small, losing dozens of people is already considered a heavy loss; losing hundreds is a devastating blow.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Roland pursed his lips and bowed to them. Logically speaking, this was a war that the Kingdom of Lagrange had to face on its own, but Rivendell and Moria extended a helping hand without hesitation. Apart from Rivendell, the Guardian of Middle-earth, who could not stay out of it, the dwarves really did it out of friendship!
“Of course! Moria was restored under the glory of Lagrang! Without the Kingdom of Lagrang, there would be no Moria.” Balin calmly patted Roland’s arm armor, his eyes full of sincerity and satisfaction.

"..." Roland's throat tightened. After all, he had ulterior motives in helping the dwarves, whether it was for strategic purposes or for the wealth in Moria, but the dwarves...

"Alright, now that things are resolved, we should be leaving. It was a pleasure to meet you, King Roland! I wish you good health!" Balin clapped his hands with a smile, then waved to Roland and turned to say goodbye.

"Please stay and attend the victory banquet, Your Highness Balin!" Apophis Breo urged.

"No, I have a lot to do at home. I'm worried about Moria without the Skullbreakers here after being away for so long! And the orcs in the Horin region haven't been dealt with yet!" Balin shook his head and politely declined Apophis Breo's offer.

"Let's go! I hope that when we meet again, we can sit down and enjoy a drink together without the orcs and ringwraiths bothering us!" Balin laughed as he shouldered the Torin Axe and mounted the ibex.

"Take care on your journey!" the group said goodbye. They watched the dwarves ride their ibex and leave along the foot of the mountain. Only the dragon riders took to the sky to escort them. This was something Roland had just instructed them to do, since the journey was dangerous and they might not be able to leave safely even if they came here safely.

……

"So what happened?" Omske and Yunfeng squinted at the completely unfamiliar Lion Territory. The huge town on the ground had completely disappeared, leaving only scattered orc weapons and armor all around. Various elemental forces were floating and appearing in the air, which was obviously the aftereffect of the forbidden spell - elemental disorder.

"We won?" Arriving at the original pass, Yun Feng stared blankly at Dos Anthony, who was sitting there in a daze.

"Lord Yunfeng? Lord Omske? You've arrived!" Dos Anthony hurriedly dropped the clod of earth he was playing with, unleashed a burst of thunderous battle energy to clean his hands, and then came forward to greet them.

“This…” Omsk pointed at Dos Anthony and hesitated.

"As you can see, the war destroyed Lion's Territory, including this pass! Fortunately, we won!" Dos Anthony shrugged.

"Where are the others?" Yun Feng narrowed his eyes, suddenly having a bad feeling. Could it be...? "They all went to Lion's Castle. I was left behind to guard the gate... The Duchy is very busy right now. King Roland and Duke Apophis Breo are extremely busy!" Dos Anthony rolled his eyes. They were all gone, leaving him and his dragon here to count clods of dirt.

"That's good, we'll be going now! You have fun!" Yun Feng patted Dos Anthony's shoulder, picked up a clod of dirt from the ground and stuffed it back into Dos Anthony's hand, then vanished without a trace in a flash.

"Let's go, kid!" Omsk patted his horse's neck and spurred his horse past Dos Anthony.

"Pah! What kind of person is he! Doesn't he even know how to chat with me?" Dos Anthony spat out a mouthful of dust and complained helplessly.

……

"Yun Feng! You're here? Come here right now!" Before Yun Feng could even get angry at Roland, Roland preemptively pulled him over, leaving Omsk, who was standing next to him, completely stunned. He was really dragged away from him in an instant! Omsk made it clear that he wasn't joking.

"..." Yun Feng suppressed the dizziness in his head and was about to scold Roland for his reckless behavior, but Roland dragged him into a room without saying a word.

"Quickly! Show him! I think he's going to die!" Roland said anxiously.

"What do you mean 'die'? Don't change the subject! First, tell me about your sneaking away! Do you know that Queen Nyx almost ate me?! Oh my god! What happened..." Yun Feng finally found a chance to speak, but before she could say two words, she saw Adolf Heinrich lying on the bed with his face as pale as paper and was instantly stunned.

"Forbidden spell backlash! What did you do, kid? What kind of forbidden spell could cause backlash? Is the Heinrich family this weak?" Yun Feng pressed down on Adolf Heinrich while casting a spell to examine his body, and mysterious magic runes appeared on Adolf Heinrich's body.

“Divine Word Spell: Chant of the God of Light…” Roland said weakly from behind.

"You're really amazing!" Yun Feng looked at Adolf Heinrich with admiration. Go ahead and play! When it comes to forbidden spells, who can beat the living father of your Heinrich family? What? The Rhine Storm can't tolerate your antics anymore? Now you're even getting into divine magic?

"Ahem, it was my first time using it, so I'm not very skilled... Please excuse my clumsiness." Adolf Heinrich looked at the two awkwardly, trying to explain that he was simply unaccustomed to using divine words and that's why he suffered a backlash.

"..." Roland.

"..." Yun Feng.

Damn it! How many more times do you want to use Divine Word? Yun Feng has always kept his distance from anything related to divine power and rules, and you want to do it a second time? Aren't you afraid of being backfired by the divine power and exploding to death? God said, "Let there be light!" The light that was summoned was the original power of the God of Light! It's fortunate that Adolf Heinrich's magic power was more than half depleted and he couldn't perfectly perform the incantation of the God of Light, otherwise everyone would be able to use shovels to trap Adolf Heinrich by now.

"Hmm... it can be considered a blessing in disguise. Although the small amount of Light God's Primal Light Power tore apart your magical essence, it also reshaped it..." Yun Feng smacked his lips after examining it for a while, and suddenly realized that this guy could really add the Light God's Chant to his regular skill pool after he was lucky enough to survive this time!
"You felt it, didn't you? The light of the origin of light has entered my origin and corrupted my power of light. This means that I will no longer be harmed by the divine word spell: Chant of the God of Light!" Adolf Heinrich smiled happily. It was as if he had been marked and blessed by the God of Light, and he could use this power belonging to the God of Light from now on.
