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

Chapter 848 Inner City Construction

"As for the construction of Lagrande City, it should also be put on the agenda!" Roland knocked on the table to attract everyone's attention.

"You have to know that we are at the foot of the capital! How can a capital only have the palace exposed? Don't forget that there are no subjects in the capital now." Roland reminded him that he was now a king without any subjects! Apart from having an army, the nearest subjects were tens of thousands of miles away from him!

"So you mean to start building the inner city?" Adolf Heinri looked at Roland hopefully. He was not surprised at Roland's proposal. After all, how could the king do it without anyone?

"Can our magic pattern stone bricks keep up?" Kaslo frowned. You know, the output of magic pattern stone bricks in the kingdom depends only on old man Radil. The construction of the Rapids Avenue is enough to consume his energy. How can he have extra time to prepare building materials for the royal capital?

"Of course, there are a few new earth mages in Rapid City. Although their levels are not high, they are enough to produce these magic pattern stone bricks!" Roland nodded.

"That's great!" Caslo said happily.

"So you have a mission, go to Rapid City and bring them back!" Roland knocked on the table and gestured the path with his hands and said to Caslo.

The originally laughing Caslo suddenly stopped laughing. At such a young age, he had learned to cover up his smile with sadness. But soon Caslo was no longer sad. His eyes turned and he realized something and rubbed his hands excitedly.

No one in Roland noticed Kaslo's little action, but Adolf Heinrich noticed Kaslo's weirdness. Looking at the expectation and excitement in Kaslo's eyes, he soon realized something.

"How do you plan to build the inner city?" Adolf Heinrich looked at Roland. After all, this was the capital. Adolf Heinrich felt that he still needed to help Roland with some advice, so that if the king had an attack, he could correct it in time.

"Let's expand outward first! Expand one kilometer with the palace as the center!" Roland thought about it.

"You want to imitate the construction method of the imperial capital?" Adolf Heinrich was stunned and suddenly felt a little emotional.

"Well, the nine-walled capital is the spiritual symbol of Lagrande! Now that we are back, Lagrande City will also be back!" Roland said calmly.

The capital of the Lagrande Empire, Lagrande City, was once surrounded by nine walls and was the largest city in Middle-earth! With two rivers behind it and located on the edge of the undefended Lagrande Plain, it was a natural barrier! And Roland planned to restore the glory of the imperial capital! Similarly, the glorious capital city was not something Roland could build now. If he wanted to restore the true glory of Lagrande City, he would probably need to spend half his life to run it! This was still based on the premise that he had a cheat!

  "Let's build the inner city first! We don't have the energy to completely recreate it. Now I just need it to have the functionality of a city!" Roland said pragmatically. After all, the current Lagrande City is better called a fortress than a country!

"Okay, I will try my best to deploy manpower to complete the work as soon as possible!" Adolf Heinrich breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Roland did not aim too high and shout out the slogan of recasting Lagrande. Otherwise, Adolf Heinrich would not know how to persuade him today. After all, as a descendant of the royal family and the actual helmsman of this country, it is his responsibility and right to restore the former glory. Adolf Heinrich had no way to stop this high-sounding behavior. Fortunately, Roland was still sober.

Adolf Heinrich was overthinking this. Roland knew better than anyone that taking too big a step would lead to failure! As a pragmatist, he didn't care about those false names at all. Compared with these insignificant reputations and titles, he was more concerned about how to get the benefits into his pocket. After all, the vast Lagran Plain was still waiting for him to occupy and develop. After all, the dwarves had no interest in those plains. The only stumbling blocks in front of Roland were time and his own kingdom.

……

"Have they made any movement?" Fenglin Youlan, who had not appeared in public for a long time, appeared on the sentry tower between the intersection of Jiliu River and Hongshui River.

"Your Majesty!" The soldiers on guard in the watchtower only then noticed that the person climbing up from below was actually the Kingdom Dragon Rider Commander Fenglin Youlan! They quickly took off their helmets and saluted.

"Okay, no need to be so polite, you've worked hard!" Fenglin Youlan patted their shoulders encouragingly.

"Are they making any movement?" Fenglin Youlan asked again. "No, not even a hair!" A group of soldiers on the sentry tower shook their heads quickly.

This ten-meter-high Yonggu sentry tower was built to prevent the Dongyi charioteers from crossing the river directly and appearing under the city of Lagrang. Although the city of Lagrang is nominally close to two rivers, in fact, the current city of Lagrang is still a long way from the river! When the city wall is expanded to the original 9 layers, the city of Lagrang will almost be close to the two rivers. So in order to better detect the enemy situation, and the Dongyi charioteers on the other side of the river were spying from time to time, Adolf Heinrich ordered the construction of this sentry tower at that time. Even if this sentry tower loses its warning function in the future, it can still be used as a lighthouse to indicate the ferry in the river!

"Huh? Weren't they out for reconnaissance all day long some time ago?" Fenglin Youlan asked curiously. You know, although these Dongyi charioteers were crippled by the kingdom, they did not stay quiet. Their reconnaissance troops kept appearing on the banks of the Jiliu River and the Hongshui River.

"Who knows? Maybe they are bored?" The soldiers shrugged helplessly. They would be bored if they stayed here all day, not to mention those Dongyi charioteers who slept in the open air! The clothes and bedding in the sentry tower were complete, and the soldiers who changed shifts could have a high-quality rest inside the sentry tower. There were also soldiers who took turns on duty. Even so, these energetic young men felt sleepy just by looking at the surging river, not to mention those Dongyi charioteers who slept in the open air.

What? You ask why the Dongyi Tankmen don't build a small base to stabilize? This is a good question. Guess what Weiss, who stays in the city all day, does? Coming here to fight guerrilla warfare with the Lagrang people and take a few glances is already their limit. If they stay any longer, the dragon's breath will come!

"Thank you for your hard work. Keep monitoring them!" Fenglin Youlan carried Long Xi and watched for a long time, but could not see anything through the dragon eye vision. The reed beach on the other side was quiet, with no movement except for the reeds swaying in the wind. Fortunately, Fenglin Youlan shook her head and handed the responsibility of monitoring those people to the guards. She got off the sentry tower and rode her horse towards the city in the distance.

"Why do you think His Majesty Youlan is in the mood for inspection?" The guards muttered after seeing Fenglin Youlan leave.

"I heard that his wife's injury has healed!" someone who knew the situation whispered.

"Really?" Everyone hurriedly ate melons.

"That's for sure! His Majesty Youlan is such an infatuated man! He didn't even attend His Majesty's banquet when his wife was bedridden!" another soldier said hurriedly.

"What a man!"

"You are truly worthy of being a Paladin!"

All the soldiers immediately regarded Fenglin Youlan as their role model, admired him very much, and expressed their desire to learn Fenglin Youlan's chivalry.

Our protagonist has now returned to the castle. He walked quickly towards the palace with his body straight.

……

"Your Majesty! Those Dongyi people have not appeared recently!" Fenglin Youlan said.

"Let them go. If you have the guts, cross the river!" Roland waved his hand nonchalantly.

I have a fever again...I shouldn't drink cold drinks...
