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

Chapter 728 Good things happen one after another

"We will be better off by autumn!" Ymir said to Ishmir.

"In autumn, animals will come out to look for food and gain weight. The frequency of the monsters will also increase. The most important thing is that the leaves have fallen and those creatures have nowhere to hide. We can hunt more prey!" Ymir said, looking at Ishmir's puzzled expression. How powerful are the Senate Guards riding armored earth dragons? No one knows, but they will see it this autumn!

"Yes, we need the fur of Warcraft and other wild animals!" Ismir nodded. King Roland would support him once, but he couldn't support him every day. Otherwise, what would be the meaning of his existence as a noble? Would he ask the kingdom for money every day?

……

"Thank you for the supplies, Your Highness! Say hello to Your Highness for me!" Apophis Breo touched his chest and said humbly to the dragon knight who delivered the goods to his door. He understood the truth that if you take something from someone, you will be grateful. Apophis Breo slid to his knees in the face of King Roland's abundant supplies, and he wanted to hold Roland's stinky feet and call him daddy. Although Rivendell was responsible for most of the resources needed for the reconstruction of the Lion Territory, it did not prevent Apophis Breo from receiving Roland's supplies as reserves, especially Roland's support of 20 arrows this time! These arrows solved Apophis Breo's big problem. Facing the Lion Territory that lost the protection of the city wall fortress, the wild beasts running around in the Misty Mountains became the biggest problem of the Lion Territory.

With these arrows, Apophis Breo could organize militia and hunters to hunt wild animals without having to put precious manpower into the mountains and forests to fight against wild animals.

"Thank God! May the Dragon God bless you! With this batch of supplies, Lord Olaf's encirclement and suppression work will be much smoother!" The fourth-level wood mage Dura showed a relieved smile. It was true that Rivendell provided a lot of help, but those supplies could still be used to restore the Lion Territory. However, it would be impossible to wipe out the large number of beasts and monsters alarmed by the Forbidden Spell War. Lacking arrows and crossbows, the Lion Territory could only gather the people around the Lion Castle and watch the beasts wreak havoc in the King's Landing Valley.

"Yeah! At least I don't have to use a spear to butt the wild boar!" Olaf rubbed his chest with a grin. At this moment, he had taken off his infantry plate armor, revealing his chest which was slightly bruised.

"What's wrong?" Du La stretched out his hand and a green branch grew out of thin air from his sleeve, coiling around Olaf's chest and emitting a bright green light. Olaf immediately let out an indecent moan of pleasure, which attracted Apophis Breo's sidelong glances.

"We were attacked by wild boars again today!" Olaf rolled his eyes and poured himself a glass of wine from the side and drank it all. Fortunately, the elves of Rivendell supplied them, otherwise, let alone wine, everyone would have starved to death before Roland's relief food arrived.

"Tomorrow I will bring the militia and the hunting crossbows to clean up those beasts! Damn it! It's okay that those orc bastards come to bully us, but these beasts also come to join in the fun!" Olaf said without interruption. With the healing magic of wood, the bruises on Olaf's chest caused by the wild boar had healed, so he spoke more vigorously.

"Be careful, those wild boars are not much worse than tigers!" Apophis Breo shook his head with a wry smile. After all, everyone knows how powerful the shock cavalry riding wild boars are, so ordinary wild boars are not necessarily inferior to primary magical beasts.

"It's okay, I'll just use dozens of hunting crossbows to shoot randomly! I don't believe they can withstand the heavy arrows of the kingdom!" Olaf said viciously. The batch of arrows Roland sent this time were all heavy arrows one meter long and one hundred grams. Because Roland always emphasized the importance of full martial virtue, all arrows were heavy arrows! Including Raglan's crossbows, they were all powerful step-pull crossbows. These crossbows, called hunting crossbows, were actually comparable to heavy crossbows. The heavy arrows shot by these crossbows were no less powerful than those shot by the rangers! (They were still much inferior to the archers. After all, with the skills of the archers, even the knights would be scared when facing their rain of arrows alone!) "Okay, okay!" Apophis Breo raised his hands in surrender. It can be seen that Olaf's recent clearing of wild beasts has made him so angry that he is angry enough to feed ten evil sword immortals.

"Okay, now that the kingdom has received this batch of grain, we can use work-for-relief. Let's distribute the grain and let the people rebuild the Lion Territory themselves!" Apophis Breo rubbed his brows and breathed a sigh of relief. It was a "hardship" for him to have five or six thousand people idle for this period of time. Because he could not guarantee their safety, he even rejected the people's request to farm. This resulted in the autumn harvest of less than a quarter of the grain instead of half. A large number of wheat ears were eaten by wild beasts and birds. Now Apophis Breo could finally let the people go.

……

"The situation in the Lion Territory has stabilized. Duke Apophis Breo has deployed civilians to rebuild the territory through work-for-relief!" Adolf Heinrich reported to Roland.

"Well, it's the right choice. With arrows and hunting crossbows, he'd be a coward if he stayed in the castle on the mountain! I guess we don't have to worry about the Lion Leader anymore this year!" Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, with the Beorns on guard in front, the orcs in Gunbaddar Fortress can't escape their sight, but the orcs in the Misty Mountains are still a problem!" Adolf Heinrich analyzed.

"The king of the Goblin Kingdom in the Misty Mountains was killed by Thorin and his men! Those orcs suffered defeat in several major battles. I don't think they will have the courage to invade the border on a large scale in the near future..." Darien Nightblade behind Roland laughed while playing with the Garuda in his hand.

"Yes, I don't believe they can continue to organize a large army to disgust Apophis Breo. If they really have that kind of cohesion, they are not orcs! You know, the two orc kings Azog and Borg have been killed by us! It will take them a long time to choose a new king!" Roland laughed disdainfully.

You have to know that the reason why the orcs in the Battle of Five Armies came with such a fierce force was entirely because they were led by the two orc kings Azog and Bolger. After the death of the two orc kings, all the orcs in the North were broken-backed dogs. If it weren't for the two fortresses controlled by the Ringwraiths that combined two elite orc armies, Roland would not have taken the orcs seriously at all.

In fact, it was just as they expected. When the news of the Forbidden War spread throughout the Misty Mountains, the orcs who were originally playing a tug-of-war with the soldiers of the King's Landing family to the west of the King's Landing Fortress disappeared without a trace overnight.
