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

Chapter 727 Primary City

"It's a lot easier now. I can even consider pushing the front line eastward!" Roland stared at the map with his eyes full of desire for land. After all, as a nation with farming genes engraved in their bones, they would feel itchy all over without land. Although there is so much land in the kingdom that no one has cultivated it, it does not prevent Roland from showing a greedy expression for those lands.

  "Are you serious?" Nix looked at Roland in surprise. Even in this situation, Roland still did not forget to march east. Is he crazy?

"Do you know what will happen once we recapture Lagrande City?" Roland chuckled.

"Hmm~" Nyx shook her head in confusion.

As if amused by Nyx's silly expression, Roland touched her head lovingly, pulled her into his arms, and pointed at the sand table and said to her.

"That means the vast Lagran Plain will be completely under the control of the kingdom! This was once the true core of the empire!"

Roland's voice, with a hint of nostalgia, made Nyx dizzy. She didn't expect Roland to take such a big step. With only a few towns, he actually wanted to control the entire Lagrande Plain!

Once the core area of ​​the empire! The vast Raglan Plain is not the barren wasteland of Middle-earth today. There are villages and towns connected there! The endless wheat fields feed the entire Northern Wall! From the west of the City of Rapids to the east of Redwater Castle, from the south to the Imperial Capital, and from the north to the Iron Hill Ridge! There are almost no nobles in this land, because it is directly governed by the royal family! Until the demise of the empire, the iron hooves of the orcs from the north trampled on this prosperous land... and also trampled on the last hope of the King's Landing family!

"Empire..." Nyx murmured. She gently stretched out her hand from Roland's arms and grasped in the air.

"Yes, Empire!" Roland rubbed Nyx's head with his chin and said softly.

"If I cannot step onto the throne that belongs to the Human Emperor in my lifetime... I will pave the way for my children to step onto that throne!" Roland said calmly, but there was no warmth in his voice.

"Those minions of Sauron..." Nyx said worriedly.

  "Not only his minions, I will also clean up Sauron!" Roland tightened his grip on Nyx's hand. The reason why Roland suddenly became interested in the Eastern Expedition again was naturally because he had a good thing in the system mall! A primary city that consumed all the honor points! This good thing that could generate a city out of thin air directly made Roland's originally calm heart restless. According to the plan, they should have built towns along the Rapid River to push the front line. Although this was slow, it was safer. After all, Roland couldn't take thousands of troops to the old site of the Lagrande Imperial Capital to blow the northwest wind, but now with this primary city, Roland had a nail that could be driven into the wasteland! After the troops had the protection of the city defense, the chariots and cavalry of the chariot people were directly useless! You dare to attack the city?

Like most nomadic peoples, the siege technology tree of the Wainriders is horrible. This can be seen from the fact that during the War of the Ring, the Wainriders army involved the Northern troops. Tens of thousands of troops attacked the small countries of Dale and Ilubor, but they actually allowed the humans of Dale to successfully retreat to Ilubor... How bad is their siege technology! The orcs could break into the city with a wave of their hands, forcing the elves and Bard to fight them in the streets. As a result, the Wainriders actually allowed the humans of Dale to successfully retreat to the Lonely Mountain... Azog would probably be so angry after seeing this.

Roland didn't care about the chariot people at all after he had a real city to rely on. They were very good at attacking the city anyway. As for the siege? Haha! Judging from the supply lines of the chariot people, they might collapse before the Kingdom of Lagrang. Putting aside the teleportation array technology tree that Yun Feng was very likely to point out, even the air knights of the Kingdom of Lagrang were enough for them. If they couldn't stop a siege, it would be in vain. You know, the Kingdom of Lagrang is not short of space equipment. Even if they sent them enough food for dozens of days, it would be fine! Anyway, there is no time flow in the space equipment, and the food will not go bad... OK! Now even firewood and water can be saved! In this situation, Roland asked, "Where is your mother?" Rather than saying you are besieging the city, it's better to say you are keeping watch for the city of Lagrang.

It was for the above reasons that Roland turned his gaze to the East, otherwise he should be crouching and waiting to survive the year 2944.

However, the timing is not yet ripe. Roland is faced with too many things, and a large number of things are tying his hands and feet. Faced with the constraints of various complicated things, Roland is very busy at the moment, and a large number of things are waiting for him to make the decision!

Moreover, mobilizing the army takes time. In addition, the kingdom's army is now scattered all over the place in a mess, so assembly and distribution is still a big problem. What's even more horrifying is that once Roland really wants to set up an enclave in Lagrande City, a large number of troops will inevitably be dispersed. Although Roland's troops are at the level of warlords for the current size of the kingdom, there are not many of them in the Middle East. Roland, who is facing enemies in both the north and the south, naturally does not dare to leave his defense line empty, otherwise the orc army will let him know what cruelty is!

……

"Has the kingdom's relief food arrived?" Lord Ismir said with his hands on his hips, looking at Ymir's figure that was as big as a hill and smiling happily.

"Well, the king said he was worried that you would starve to death! He asked someone to bring us some food!" Ymir conveyed the original words brought by the food delivery team.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk! The king still cares about us!" Ismir said happily, smacking his lips without any sense of blushing. You know, after raising ten goblin knights, Ismir was a little overwhelmed. Although the goblin knights' mounts, the Tutu pigs, could dig up grass and eat by themselves, the goblin knights who regarded the Tutu pigs as their partners naturally could not let their mounts dig up grass and find food every day, so they would share their food with their partners, and Ismir naturally could not let his only cavalry force starve, so he could only take out some food to feed those pigs...

  Pigs are good at eating! Even if they eat with grass, they are still very good eaters! After a period of time, the food reserves that were originally on the safe line were fluctuating like an electrocardiogram. This made the young lord feel the king's fatigue for the first time. It turns out that lack of food can really worry a lord to death!

Therefore, this amount of food solved Ishmir's urgent need. These two carts of food were enough for them to last for several months. After they saved some money from hunting, they could go to Rapids to sell them and exchange them for money to buy food!
