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

Chapter 753 Premonition

Thanks to the heavy casualties suffered by the Orc army in recent years, the war five years ago can be said to have drained the blood of the Orcs' mobile forces. Now the only force capable of stopping Roland is the Orc Wolf Riders of Mordor, but Roland is willing to take a gamble with Sauron!

Sauron is now in a dilemma. Except for the army of Mordor, the armies of other territories have lost their offensive power. Even if they have recovered a little in the past five years, they can only maintain a defensive formation. Don't say whether Sauron knows that Roland has launched a great expedition. Even if he knows, he can't stretch his hands too far! If the troops are too few, Roland will kill them in one go. If the troops are too many, they will be crippled and he will be a commander without troops! The elite Orc Wolf Cavalry is far from being comparable to those Orc Infantry. The price of human life is dozens of times different!

……

"Come back alive!" Renault patted the shoulders of the brothers Luke Leopold and Merck Leopold. They will participate in the Great Expedition as the commanders of the two Torrent Infantry Legions!

"I will, General, wait for us to come back for a drink!" Luke Leopold smiled.

  "Yes!" Renault nodded. The journey was long and no one knew what the future held. But wasn't that what humans were all about? Fearlessness and curiosity drove humans, allowing this race to spread across Middle-earth!

……

"Click! Click! Click!" Heavy footsteps were accompanied by the sound of armor rubbing against each other. A green torrent of guns moved slowly across the land. In front of them were the guards of Lagrande City lined up in four rows, and behind them were the Badaniyan archers carrying longbows and mithril armor-piercing hammers. As for Roland, he was surrounded by the royal guards and followed behind with the other teams. It was not because Roland was afraid of death and liked to shrink at the back, but because they were responsible for escorting a cavalry of thousands of Shire horses. Because the space storage equipment could not collect living things, Roland could not take them back into the system space, so he could only follow the herd and drive them along.

As for why Roland brought a group of seemingly useless war horses, it was of course to improve the mobility of the troops! If he encountered an enemy, Roland could easily send out a cavalry of thousands of infantrymen to form a local advantage and quickly deploy troops, which was equivalent to a simple quick response force when there was no space teleportation skill.

……

"Your Highness..." Adolf Heinrich threw the chess piece in his hand into the box helplessly with a dark face.

"One more round! One more round!" Roland said with great interest.

Darien Nightblade turned his head to look at the two of them, then closed his eyes tiredly and fell asleep against the carriage. Ever since he came out, King Roland has been pestering His Excellency Adolf Heinrich to play some kind of Gobang. At first, Adolf Heinrich was amazed by King Roland's imagination. How could a beginner like Adolf Heinrich be Roland's opponent? But after being beaten by Roland for a long time, a wise man is a wise man! The powerful mental power can directly allow him to deduce countless chess moves! Then Roland never won...

Now it was no longer a question of whether Roland would win or not. Ever since he realized he couldn't beat Adolf Heinrich, Roland started to think of crooked ideas. In front of Darian Nightblade's horrified gaze, he used a series of classic cheating techniques, such as Unlimited Sleeves, Star Absorbing Technique, and Shifting the Universe. In the end, Adolf Heinrich found that the chess pieces on his chessboard were getting fewer and fewer, and then he pulled Roland's hand to take a look... Wow! There were only a few white pieces belonging to him, but all of them were Adolf Heinrich's black pieces. Roland had turned Gobang into Go.

"Goodbye, Your Highness, let me get some sleep..." Adolf Heinrich shook his head and rejected Roland's suggestion. He pulled a blanket over himself and huddled in the corner of the carriage.

"Don't look at me, Your Highness. This journey is destined to be uneasy. You should save more energy for those blind guys!" Darian Nightblade saw the look in Roland's eyes and immediately knew what Roland wanted to do. It was not that Darian Nightblade was afraid of Roland's cheating skills, but mainly because the chess game between the two of them was really boring. After all, as an assassin, Darian Nightblade was also very skilled in the game. At the end of the game, except for the change of the color of the chess pieces in their hands, there were not many chess pieces on the board at all...

"Well, it's another day when I miss my wife!" Roland didn't force it but pretended to look aggrieved and shrank back.

"..." Darion Nightblade did not respond. After all, he knew what Roland had done. Not to mention missing his wife, he had gone on the Great Crusade himself. If he had been two steps later, the escort order from Queen Nyx would have arrived, otherwise Roland would not have set out in such a hurry. If he really cared about his wife, he would have gone back long ago. "How about I send you back? I think with General Kaslo in charge and General Omsk in charge, we should not have too many problems!" Adolf Heinrich rubbed his temple and said with a headache. After all, after Roland slipped out, all the pressure was put on them. Adolf Heinrich asked himself if he could reach the state of calmness that Kaslo and the others had when facing Roland who had slipped out. Now all he could think about was how to get Roland to land safely.

"Oh my god! Do you want to rebel?" Roland looked at Adolf Heinrich cautiously, as if he would jump out of the car if he nodded.

"Expedition is so dangerous..." Adolf Heinrich complained with his hand on his forehead. Other people's kings are all stupid. Not to mention leading an expedition in person, even just looking at the battlefield makes their scalps tingle. But his own king has turned into a little Khan of the North, playing mount and blade every day.

  "That's the future capital, of course I have to personally supervise it!" Roland said without hesitation, nonsense! That's Lagran City! The future capital of the empire! Don't forget that the Kingdom of Lagran doesn't have a capital now! The current Jiliu City is at best Roland's palace!

"As you wish..." Adolf Heinrich closed his eyes, and finally understood Yun Feng's hardships and pains.

"Sir Yun Feng, please come here! Exchange with me!" Adolf Heinrich had a terrible headache and he had activated mental resonance without realizing it. Before Adolf Heinrich could turn off the mental resonance, a message from afar came through his mental power.

  "Take him far away... Thank you for your hard work!" Yun Feng's liberated thoughts were transmitted through the spreading mental power. It can be seen that after leaving Roland's clutches, Lord Yun Feng can finally live a few days of comfort!

……

"Your Highness! Something is wrong!" Alistar, the chief of the Savage Goblins, appeared outside Roland's carriage riding a Tutu Boar and whispered to the carriage road.

"What happened?" Roland frowned.

"I don't know, but something is definitely wrong! It's too quiet! Dead quiet!" Alistar shook his head.

"Are you worrying too much?" Darion Nightblade looked at Alistar suspiciously.

"No! I led the knights to sweep the area within dozens of miles. Although there was nothing unusual, I just felt something was wrong!" Alistar said firmly.

"Is there any evidence? You have to know that Omsk and the Knights paved the way for us!" Roland shook his head at Alistar. The groundless doubts were actually criticizing the work results of Omsk.

"Feel it!" Alistar said firmly.
