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

Chapter 843 Roland's Countermeasures

“Your Majesty, is there anything I can do to relieve your worries?” Uvasa appeared in front of Soran, knelt on one knee and said respectfully. There was no expression on his face hidden in the black mist. Only the slowly beating soul fire showed that he was a "living thing".

"It's okay. I'm just curious why the kingdom in the north is shrouded in fog?" Sauron sighed. Those places shrouded in fog made him curious and alert. After all, the Crystal of Truth could be considered a magical artifact, but he couldn't even see through those places. This made Sauron, who thought he had a grasp of the entire Middle-earth situation, feel out of control for the first time.

"Then shall I go in and investigate?" Uvasa said respectfully.

  "No need!" This time, Sauron refused decisively without any melancholy. After all, Uvasa's actions against the North could not be said to be a failure, but it could be said that they were completely fruitless! Sauron didn't want to hear the news of Uvasa's death again this time! The Three Rings Sernar died of rebellion, but he destroyed the ring, which made Sauron very worried! This means that Sauron will lose a Ringwraith forever!

Thinking of those mad dog-like knights in the North, Sauron felt weak. He didn't want to provoke those damn dragon riders now, especially the long expedition to the North. Sauron would not do such a losing deal. He was more concerned about the weak "giant" beside him - Gondor!

"Let's not provoke those kingdoms in the north for now. Our target is Gondor!" So Dayan's voice was hoarse and harsh.

"Gondor? Then we will just ignore the northern kingdom? They have dragon riders!" Uvasa asked in surprise.

"We can't deal with both the north and the south at the same time, so let's leave the north to those wandering orcs to harass for the time being!" Sauron, who was preparing for war, was ready to defeat Gondor in one fell swoop. As for the powerful small country in the north, Sauron said that as long as the wandering orcs kept destroying their farmlands and towns, their development potential could be curbed. After all, through the Crystal of Truth, he saw the same problem as Denethor II, that is, this kingdom was too small, so small that there was no room for error. It was this point that made Sauron determined to deal with Gondor and Rohan, instead of going north to strangle Roland first.

"As you command, Your Majesty!" Uvasa said respectfully. He did not refute Sauron's will. After all, Sauron thought they were not a big threat, and Uvasa believed that he was not as knowledgeable and wise as Sauron.

Unfortunately, what Sauron didn't know was that the opponent of the Son of the Planes was not only a time traveler but also a fucking cheater! So Sauron was destined not to be Liu Xiu, and Roland was naturally not Wang Mang!

……

"Ding Dong! Spying from the Crystal of Truth of Mordor has been detected! Now blocked!" Roland, who was chatting with Denethor II, suddenly heard the system's voice.

"Ah?" Roland was stunned and couldn't help but say.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" King Denethor II, who was having a pleasant conversation with Roland, looked at Roland in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

"It's okay. I'll leave His Highness Denesor for a while. Please take good care of His Highness for me, Kaslo!" Roland nodded apologetically to Denesor II and winked at Adolf Heinrich. Adolf Heinrich understood and went out with Roland.

……

"What happened, Your Highness? Why are you in such a hurry?" Adolf Heinrich asked puzzled.

"Did you feel it?" Roland asked Adolf Heinrich in confusion.

  "Feel? Feel what?" Adolf Heinrich looked at Roland in confusion. Could it be that his king was "sick" again? "It seems that you didn't notice..." Roland nodded in understanding. It was not surprising. After all, if the peeping of the True Knowledge Crystal could be sensed at will, it would not be a divine artifact!

"What's wrong?" Adolf Heinrich's face darkened. Looking at Roland's eyes, he knew that something different must have happened.

"Just now, something in Mordor was spying on us..." Before Roland finished his words, he felt a huge mental force gushing out from his side, directly sweeping over the entire city of Lagrande and spreading out of the city.

"It's the spying from Mordor... not outside the city!" Roland rubbed his eyebrows and signaled Adolf Heinrich to calm down.

"..." Adolf Heinrich blinked, and then his mental power surged back into his body like a tide.

"Okay? How did you know..." Adolf Heinrich shut up before he finished speaking. After all, the heritage of the Lagrande Empire was so rich, God knew what Roland inherited.

  (Roland: That’s right! I inherited the cheat!)

"What do you plan to do? How about we set up some shielding magic circle?" Adolf Heinrich suggested. After all, they were being spied on, so they had to find a way to block it, right?

"It doesn't matter. The peeping of the Crystal of True Knowledge cannot be blocked by ordinary magic arrays. But fortunately, the City of Rapids, the Lulong Fortress, and the City of Lagrande cannot be spied on!" Roland shook his head.

"Oh? The things left by the empire are different!" Adolf Heinrich said clearly. Sure enough, the empire is not simple. The three cities left behind can block the prying of strange objects! It seems that the wise men who sealed these cities left powerful magic circles inside!

  Adolf Heinrich naturally didn't know that this was actually the system blocking Soran's spying on the system city. The other cities built by Roland were not protected at all!

"So what do you mean?" Adolf Heinrich looked at Roland. Since his prying eyes were blocked, what did King Roland mean by looking for him? Could it be that he wanted to organize the sixth level of the kingdom to give Mordor a hard blow?

"From now on, any important things should be put in the Rapids City, Lulong Fortress and the capital! I guess Sauron has begun to prepare for war!" Roland analyzed.

"He has begun to prepare for war and accumulate strength. He is now observing the situation in other countries in Middle-earth. I don't want to be the first to stick out and become a target for others!" Roland said solemnly. After all, it is not yet the time of the War of the Ring, and Sauron, who is hiding in Mordor, is still selecting targets. Compared with the historical situation of fighting on both wings, Roland does not want to be noticed by Sauron and listed as the number one target just because the North is too active.

  "Oh no! Joel's dragons are still on the Lagrang Plain!" Adolf Heinrich suddenly slapped his head. It would be troublesome if Sauron saw this!

"Are we with them?" Roland asked calmly.

"No, the dragons live alone, but our dragon riders will visit them every day to make sure they are still in our kingdom." Adolf Heinrich shook his head.

"That's okay! Even if they are seen by Mordor, they will think they are wild dragons!" Roland said lightly. After all, such a large group of flying dragons have no riders or dragon saddles. As long as Roland shouts in dissatisfaction with Middle-earth, who will know that they belong to the Kingdom of Raglan?

"That's right..." Adolf Heinrich scratched his head and found that he had reached a dead end. Those flying dragons living in the wild were almost the same as wild dragons. The only difference was that they recognized the kingdom's rule over them.

"But we still need to pay attention. The army should stay in these three cities as much as possible and not station too many people in other places!" Roland added. If Sauron knew the current configuration of Roland's subordinates, it was obvious that Sauron would kill Roland first.
