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

Chapter 775 Return to the Old Capital Reward

"Because this city has a special meaning, the system has been optimized. Because the initial area was too small, after optimizing other functional buildings, only the inner city area of ​​the palace could be retained to ensure the integrity of the building." The system, which has always been very frugal with words, actually gave Roland a rare detailed explanation. Otherwise, Roland would never have thought that after building a primary city, there would be only a palace.

In the final analysis, it is because the city of Lagrande is originally a super city in Middle-earth, with a permanent population and floating population of up to one or two million people. As the administrative center of the empire, the palace naturally cannot be too small. So for the empire at that time, this range was probably barely enough for the inner city of the imperial palace.

"..." Although Roland was speechless, he still understood the system adjustment. After all, when Lagrande returned to the empire under his rule, the imperial capital would inevitably need to be expanded and renovated. By then, it would be involved in a lot of trivial matters and would inevitably hinder its development. It would be better to set the tone early and leave room for future adjustments.

Roland could only grit his teeth and accept it. Although it was a bit ridiculous to do it all at once, it was better than wasting money and manpower in the future. Moreover, Roland estimated that according to the system's nature, it would directly let him replicate the Lagrang City in the game! The next expansion would still be the Imperial City! However, considering that Lagrang City was a super city covering hundreds of miles in radius, Roland said that it was barely acceptable.

……

"Your Highness, there's something wrong with this city..." Adolf Heinrich, who had already walked around, came to Roland and said with a strange look on his face.

As the army slowly entered the city, many details that were originally invisible from the outside gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. The nobles could clearly feel the "nobleness" of the city, and even the illiterate soldiers could see the uniqueness of this city.

"What's wrong?" Roland asked with gritted teeth.

"It seems that the positioning of this city is wrong. It seems more like a family manor of a noble fiefdom rather than a city with complete urban functions..." Adolf Heinrich said somewhat puzzled.

In fact, it was no wonder that Adolf Heinrich found something wrong. This city was really too abnormal. A large amount of land was used as gardens and nurseries, and the rest were various buildings with aristocratic atmosphere and temples dedicated to the Dragon God... This city didn't look like a place for ordinary people to live...

"Yes, this thing is most likely a component of the inner city of the imperial palace in the backup city of the imperial capital back then." Roland could only guide Adolf Heinrich to think in the direction he wanted, and just push everything onto the non-existent Lagrande Empire.

"Okay, I see! That will make it easier for us to expand in the future." Adolf Heinrich nodded in understanding, and did not raise the questioning scene that Roland had expected. This was because Adolf Heinrich's memory contained the history of the empire's glorious period, and what Roland said corresponded to the history he knew. A one-kilometer city was indeed only suitable for the empire to be the inner city of the imperial palace.

"Let's go and take a closer look at this city!" Roland said to everyone with great interest. After all, this was the city where he would live in the future, so there was no reason for him not to take a closer look. ...

"Dragon God! Have you really never considered any defense function or garrison function here?" Van Erwei looked at the human with a shocked face. He didn't understand when humans became so unrestrained in urban design? Looking at the whole city, except for the reliable construction of the city wall, the other buildings are simply for defense! The castle does not consider practicality at all! (Not defensive at all, leaky!) Large gardens! (Useless and wasteful design!) Ponds dividing the city! (Dragon God! This thing is enough to make the soldiers mobilized across the city want to crush his designer!) Van Erwei's conclusion is that the flower stand is more useful than him.

"Well, actually, this thing is barely enough to deal with those Dongyi people." Roland smiled awkwardly. You can't say that this thing really didn't consider the defense, right? When this thing was built, there was not even a defense indicator. As the inner city of the imperial palace, what kind of defense against imaginary enemies is needed? If the enemy can really get here, the royal family will probably be wiped out!

"It's not that it doesn't have any outstanding features, it's just that this thing is not very useful." Adolf Heinrich knocked his head tiredly. Although the city's poor physical defense is eye-catching, its magic defense ability is definitely among the best in Middle-earth! Because the shield defense level of this thing is at the level of defending against forbidden spells. Although physical attacks are difficult to work on this city in the history of the empire, magic attacks don't care about that. The long-range attack makes the Lagran Emperor feel like a thorn in his throat! So with the efforts of many alchemists, Lagran City has the most powerful magic defense facilities in Middle-earth, and the center of this defense array is in the inner city!

"..." Van Erwei's mouth twitched. What kind of golden nest is this? What's so worthy of using the forbidden spell? Could Sauron come here to take it out? Otherwise, who in the whole Middle-earth can fully cast the forbidden spell? Van Erwei thought this thing was useless. After all, Sauron couldn't come here to destroy it personally. Of course, Van Erwei didn't know that in the endless years that followed, Sauron kept talking about not destroying the city of Raglan.

Ignoring the quarrels and fights of the crowd, Roland came alone to the top floor of the entire castle, the sixth-floor watchtower.

  He excitedly opened the system to check the system's settlement rewards. After all, he finally completed a main task - return to the old capital!

"Return to the Old Capital rewards have been issued, please check! A new main quest has been updated - Empire's Afterglow!" The system's voice sounded. At this moment, the mechanical system sound was no less than the sound of nature in Roland's ears! He had been waiting for this moment for a long time! He was excited about the rewards for the main quest!

"Advanced random rewards*5!" Roland found his reward in his warehouse. He clicked it and found a lucky draw wheel! The millstone-sized wheel was densely filled with various rewards. Roland saw noble dragon knights, powerful noble families, and even a reorganized military flag knight group! Roland drooled at the rows of rewards.

"Damn it! I was careless! Isn't this just an enhanced version of daily sign-in? The only difference is that signing in will give you garbage, and here you can get high and low rewards..." Roland frowned as he looked at the densely packed turntable rewards. There were good and bad ones on it, from the Flood Infantry Squad to the Bandit Horse Team and the Robbery Gang. It can be said that the Empire has everything! The most outrageous thing is that Roland actually saw a militia squad in it... Yes, that's the image of an old farmer holding a dung fork. Roland thought that he didn't offend the system. How did this thing get into the prize pool?

"Let the gambler gamble his life again?" Roland was a little hesitant, so he just drew five times in a row! If all the prizes were rotten fish and shrimp, Roland probably wouldn't be able to sleep at night. However, the system saw through Roland's gambler nature, and after burning incense and washing his hands, Roland couldn't help but click on the gift bag.
