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

Chapter 841 I fooled you, and you poached my girl?

"Weak and powerful!" Hallfa said after a moment of silence.

"Yes, weak... and powerful!" Denethor II sighed. How did these two completely opposite words come together? I'm afraid only the two who witnessed it with their own eyes are qualified to say.

The kingdom of Lagrande was weak, and from what Denethor II had seen along the way, this kingdom probably had no ability to resist risks. But strangely, this kingdom also had an elite army that was invincible in the north. The incongruity and contrast surrounded this mysterious northern kingdom, making Denethor II want to spy on its secrets.

"Their dragons are pretty good..." Hallfa said quietly. He was afraid of the powerful dragon knights. These ancient legendary creatures suddenly appeared in front of him in groups. This was undoubtedly a shock to Hallfa!

"Yes! The powerful kingdom of dragons!" Denethor II was very envious. There were many mountains and forests in Gondor, but unfortunately there were no giant dragons or even flying dragons. For Gondor, having dragon knights was simply a fantasy.

"Rest early, Your Highness." Holfa saw the desire of Denethor II and sighed helplessly. As the foundation of the Northern Kingdom, Holfa did not think that they would give Gondor a dragon.

Try it! This is nonsense! Even if the Lagrang Empire is so powerful that it cannot be shaken in the game, the Royal Dragon Nest will not be open to players. Only NPC families can go to the wild dragons enshrined there. Besides, the Lagrang Empire at that time did not lack wild dragons! Not to mention that Roland only has one wild dragon in his hand now.

……

"Hello, Your Majesty, good morning! Sorry to bother you..." Denethor II was very humble.

"What's wrong, Lord Denesor? What do you want?" Roland asked knowingly. He came to see him so early in the morning most likely for no reason. He must have something to ask of him... Could it be that he planned to let Roland go south now to contain the orcs?

Roland's eyes twitched at the thought. I came here to trick you into taking a bullet for Lagrande, but you actually want me to take a bullet for you? How could I, a time traveler who knows history well, be fooled by you?

"Forgive my rudeness. Do you have any plans to sell your dragons? Gondor is willing to pay a price in exchange for a dragon." Denethor II tried. After all, with Gondor's national strength, it would not be difficult to buy a dragon. With a dragon knight, it could directly help defend the entire eastern border. This money was well worth it for Denethor II.

  "..." Roland stared at Denethor II for a long time without saying anything, but his eyes were full of emotion. Good fellow! You also know that you are being presumptuous! I just wanted to trick you into going to Mordor to fight and attract firepower, but you came here and dug my foundation directly!

"I'm sorry, dragons are not creatures that can be measured by money. They are our partners, and we have no right to sell them! They fight alongside us only out of trust and friendship!" Roland said solemnly.

Selling dragons is something that has never happened in the history of the Lagrang Empire, but it is not completely unheard of. The dragons sold are all wild dragons caught in the wild. Families that do not have the strength to train dragons will choose to sell the dragon to a dragon rider family or a noble who has ambitions to become a dragon rider family after accidentally capturing a wild dragon. However, there are not many such things in history. After all, most of the dragons that can be caught can be raised. How can there be so many lucky people?

"Sorry, I'm being rude!" Denethor II shook his head with some regret. Although Roland's righteous refusal was within his expectations, he still felt a little disappointed.

Only Hallfa next to him showed the expression he should have. In Hallfa's opinion, if King Roland of Lagrande could really sell the dragon to Gondor, then he would be truly crazy! ...

"What do you think of this trip?" Roland asked Denesor II at lunch.

"I'm deeply touched! To be honest, I didn't trust your country much before, because the North has been dormant for too long! This trip to the North has changed my mind. The North is still the tenacious North!" Denethor II said with emotion.

"We have always been tenacious!" Roland chuckled and raised his glass, toasting to the people of the Valley State who had defended the northern border! They illuminated the last dignity of the people in the northern border!

"Ding!" Denethor II also raised his silver cup and gently touched it with Roland.

"The situation on Gondor's border is not good. You should pay attention!" After chatting with Denethor II about the North, Roland turned the topic to Gondor. After all, the situation in the North was much better than that in Gondor at the moment!

  Historically, after Thorin and Dain took back the Lonely Mountain, the North entered a long period of recuperation. Before the War of the Ring, the North had been relatively peaceful. At that time, Sauron had already set his sights on Gondor. After all, there was nothing worth his attention in the North where the dwarves were declining and humans were lingering. In fact, during the War of the Ring, the Easterlings were almost annihilated by the North (Halo of Justice: Hehehe!). Well! It was almost there again! (Doghead)

However, Roland couldn't guarantee that Thorin would not be stupid enough to turn his attention to the North instead of Gondor. After all, compared to the sheep-like Gondor, the murderous Northern Alliance had already slapped him several times. If Sauron got angry and thought that the North had a higher priority than Gondor, Roland would be in tears!

"Yes! Orcs appear more and more frequently! Those bastards are omnipresent! The border of the kingdom is like a sieve in their eyes!" Denethor II clenched his fists in anger. The young Denethor II quickly got into Roland's rhythm.

  "But I'm afraid your kingdom's current army can't handle those orcs..." Roland shrugged and said regretfully. Gondor, which had been at peace for a long time, had a very low grasp of its military equipment. Apart from the occasional intruders, there were only the Umbar pirates in the south! So apart from the navy and a small number of border troops, the army holdings in other regions were only touching. It didn't mean that Gondor was not strong, but that their mobilization ability was not fully utilized. In addition to the insignificant wandering orcs, only the Umbar pirates could make Gondor take precautions!

"Those nobles are not willing to invest money in the army at all! My God! Are they so eager to recruit farmers to defeat the orcs?" Denethor II complained speechlessly.

"..." Roland's expression froze. Don't say that! Don't say that! It's not a problem for those strong conscripted farmers to beat the orcs! You have to know that they are orcs, not greenskins! The individual combat power of wandering orcs is not as good as that of human women! But the elite orcs and the strong orcs of biologist "Teacher Sa" have a saying!

Actually, the decision made by the Gondor nobles now is not wrong. After all, those orcs who are like psoriasis are endless. Instead of maintaining a regular army that is always on standby, it is better to rely on the farmers in the villages and towns to take up weapons and wipe them out. This is no problem in the third year 2951, but decades later, the integrated and strengthened army of Mordor orcs cannot be dealt with by this method!

"How short-sighted!" Roland nodded quickly in agreement.
