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

Chapter 774: Lagrande! Lagrande!

"Oath Horn: Hold high the holy sword to declare rule, summon the undead of the mountain people to fight!" Roland looked at Weiss's new entry and immediately realized something. He looked at Weiss with a strange look in his eyes. After all, how did this guy get connected with the mountain people in the White Mountains? Lagran Plains is not far from the White Mountains.

  "Huh?" Roland, who had originally decided not to investigate further, accidentally noticed that Weiss had a buff status!

"The Oath of the Dead - Under the will of Sernar, the King of the Mountain swore allegiance to Weiss and fought for him!"

"..." Roland narrowed his eyes. That's why! No wonder the people in the mountains were connected to Weiss. It turned out to be Senar's legacy. For a moment, Roland was a little jealous of Weiss's good luck. He was able to get to where he is today entirely because of the existence of the system, while Weiss relied on luck all the way and reached the top so miraculously! Senar had almost paved all the way for this guy in the future. Roland didn't want to work hard anymore.

"Don't let him down!" Roland patted his shoulder meaningfully. Perhaps only Weiss himself could understand this sentence.

"Yes, Your Highness..." Weiss replied with a blushing face, somewhat embarrassed.

……

  "We're here!" Roland calmly stared at the turbulent confluence of the rivers in front of him, the confluence of the Jiliu River and the Hongshui River. This was once the center of a huge empire. It once had a magnificent city and two sturdy fortresses! Lagran City, Jiliu Fortress and Donghuang Fortress stood at the intersection of the three banks in a three-legged tripod!

"Have all traces disappeared in time?" Adolf Heinrich sighed. The once glorious empire now only had a few of them left, and even they were struggling to survive in Middle-earth. Sauron's threat was like a sword piercing their backs, making them dare not relax for a moment.

  "But from today on, this place will be brought back under the rule of the kingdom!" Roland smiled happily. His capital could finally be settled, and the political center of the kingdom was also determined. As long as he could gain a firm foothold, the entire Lagrande Plain would be the kingdom's farm in the future!

"System builds a primary city!" Roland said silently to the system while holding the magic alchemy bottle. Suddenly, the magic alchemy bottle shone brightly! Chains of runes swirled around Roland, and the shadow of the city slowly emerged.

"Buzz!" The ground trembled gently, and the illusory city turned from virtual to real in the horrified eyes of the Goblin Knights. The tall city walls, towering watchtowers, sturdy castles, and fluttering dragon flags...

"Lagrande, we are back!" Kaslo murmured in a low voice, tears already seeping out of his eyes. The people who had wandered for countless years returned to their loyal land.

"Yes! We are back!" Even Omsk stood solemnly, his eyes full of joy and excitement.

"We're home!" Roland smiled. He suddenly felt a little regretful that Nyx was not by his side at this moment. He couldn't share this good news with his lover. I'm sure Nyx would burst into tears seeing this scene, right?

"Let's go! Let's go home!" Adolf Heinrich nodded, and took the lead in extending his hand to make a gesture of invitation, indicating that Roland should walk in front. This was the treatment and etiquette he deserved as a king.

"Let's go, let's go into the city and see the legacy our ancestors left us!" Roland gave the credit for the system to the ancestors of the empire without blushing or beating his heart. What? Roland didn't consider the feelings of the system? This crappy system doesn't deserve human rights! Although Roland, who was walking in the front, looked up at the city, his eyes had already drifted to the system panel.

Lagrange City:

Area: One kilometer.

Building unit: Imperial Palace (only one)! Intermediate Magic Pattern Wall (20 meters high)

  Category: Capital!

Garrison: None!

  Features: Imperial Capital! (The capital of the empire, the pearl of the country! Increases national development by 25%, permanently enhances morale by 50%, increases harvest by 25%, and greatly reduces the probability of rebellion.)

Ability: 1. Divine Right of Kings! (Worship the Dragon God to gain divine protection, increase the stability of rule by 50%, reduce the occurrence of disasters by 25%, increase the people's faith by 25%, and make the rule legitimate.)

3. Heart of the North! (Increases national trade prosperity by 25%, increases national population growth by 25%, increases border stability by 25%, and increases respect from all tribes in the North by 25%.)

Introduction: The new capital city! The place where the empire began! Note: No other units can be built within the palace area!

"Fuck! Damn! This is just the palace?" Roland's eyelids twitched. You're telling me that this city with a ten-meter-high magic wall is actually just the palace of Lagrande? Well, although the palace of the Lagrande Empire in history was several times larger than this, what Roland needs now is a capital city that can function as a capital! Where can the other people go if you only have a palace? Are you going to set up tents outside the city?

"What's wrong, King Roland? You don't seem very happy?" Vanerwei, who was highly sensitive to nature, caught Roland's low mood in an instant and subconsciously leaned over to whisper. He cared about Roland very much now. After all, the grassland elves still depended on him for survival. If something happened to Roland, the kingdom would surely fall apart. Vanerwei didn't dare to let his people live that kind of precarious life again. After all, the ancient war tree was too comfortable to live in!

  "It's okay..." Roland waved his hands weakly and tried his best to hide his emotions. According to the system, the current Lagrande City is only the inner city of the palace. It is impossible to build civilian facilities and houses. This means that the city cannot provide shelter for the people and can only be used as a fortress and royal residence... But Roland thought that there were only two people in the entire Lagrande royal family. How could they build to fill this one-kilometer area?

"Let the soldiers garrison the city first! Those enemies may attack at any time!" Roland gave the order. This battle would be fought sooner or later, it was just a matter of how to fight it. The expansion of the kingdom directly affected the nerves of the Dongyi people. Don't say that they just lost a city to the west bank. If they really took the Donghuang Fortress or the Jiliu Fortress and lost it to the south bank or the east bank, you see that those Dongyi chariot soldiers would be as if they were stung by a wasp!

“What a magnificent city!”

"Oh my god! I can't even hit this wall if I stand on it!"

"Those Dongyi barbarians are in trouble. How did they have the courage to attack the city?" The above are goblin knights who have never seen the world. After all, although the ten-meter-high city wall of Jiliu City looks very breathtaking, it is far inferior to the heavy sense of history of Lagrande City. This city gives people a sense of security no matter how you look at it.

"Dragon God! Lagran, I'm back!"

  "Mom! Did you see that? We're home!" These were the human soldiers of the kingdom. They shed tears outside the city gate like wanderers returning home. No one understood the pain of the loss of the capital better than them. (Da Song: So? Are you scolding me again?)

"What's going on? System? Something seems wrong with this city." Roland felt the unique heaviness of this city and asked the system immediately, fearing that the system would cause some trouble that would make it difficult for him to handle.
