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

Chapter 856 Hidden Guard
"Dragon Flute!" Fenglin Youlan solemnly handed Fenglin Shulan a short flute, which was engraved with dragon patterns and the maple leaf emblem of the McDougal family, clearly indicating that this thing was a treasure passed down from the McDougal family. As a token of the Dragon Rider Contract, the preciousness of the dragon flute was self-evident! Especially today when the empire has collapsed, this thing can be said to be one less if it is broken!
"What...what should I do?" Fenglin Shulan asked timidly. After all, it was the first time he had seen such a scene. It was really rare to see a group of high-level people surrounding him to watch the fun.

"Let me do it!" After glancing at the dragon rider contract provided by Fenglin Youlan, Zi Lian reluctantly approved Fenglin Shulan's contract and shook his head helplessly. Instead of letting these humans slowly draw the contract according to this thing, it would be better to generate it by himself with one click!
……

"Why do I feel that the kingdom's strength has not increased?" Doss asked calmly with a hint of doubt.

"What do you expect two rookie dragon riders to do? Are they going to fight the Ringwraiths?" Roland pursed his lips and said helplessly. He finally managed to get Weiss out, but two new "kindergarten" members joined. He didn't know how long the training period of the two "babies" would be. Moreover, Roland estimated that there was a high probability that one of the dragon riders would be useless. That's right! I'm talking about you, Fenglin Xilan! After all, it seems that Fenglin Xilan is not going to let Fenglin Xilan take the path of dragon rider. Zhuiguang is likely to be the bottom line of the McDougal family and sit in the family. In other words, the only dragon rider force that may be added to the kingdom in the future is Fenglin Shulan!
"That's right! I'm here anyway!" Doss's expression was very proud, as if he was the omnipotent and powerful Dragon King.

"Come on! That's you in the future! Everyone keep a low profile now, I don't want to be blocked by Dragon Island!" Roland said unhappily. It would be fine if he was discovered by a wild dragon, but it would be troublesome if the entire Dragon Island knew about it!
Roland didn't want to rely on the kingdom's current combat power to go to war with the wild dragons on Dragon Island. After all, Roland might win the fight, but Raglan would definitely be the one to destroy the country!
"..." Doss, whose lung was poked by Roland, was a little confused. Then he shrugged his face and stopped talking. Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!
……

"The food is good today!" The Gondorian soldiers who were eating were surprised to see today's dinner. There were not only large pieces of meat, but also eggs and cheese. Even the bread was replaced with rare white bread! The thick soup with spices hooked everyone's nose. Although the chef trained by Roland could not match the amazing cooking skills of the Chinese chef, at least he was far ahead of the entire Middle-earth era. The mixed aroma of the food tempted everyone's appetite. The most eye-catching thing was the pile of several huge wine barrels on the side of the camp. In their spare time after queuing for the meal, the soldiers couldn't help but become curious.

"Wow! Huge chunks of venison!"

"Oh my god... is this wine?"

"This soup... God! I can swallow my tongue!"

"Did anything big happen today?" Assef pulled over a cook from Lagran City and asked curiously. As a confidant of Denethor II, he was used to these things, but for ordinary soldiers, this was obviously the New Year! Although Assef was not a good general in the world, at least he knew that this extra meal must be for celebration!
"Thank His Majesty Fenglin Youlan for the gift! This is given to you by His Majesty!" The cook glanced at Arthur, then raised his voice, looked around, and said aloud.

Everyone was attracted by his voice, and these soldiers, who were farmers not long ago, raised their glasses.

"Salute to Master Youlan!"

"Bless you, sir!"

"Thank you for your kindness!"

A group of soldiers sincerely wished, don't think that Gondor's wealth will make ordinary farmers live well, when it comes to using cattle and horses, there is no distinction between rich and poor! Wealth is only for the nobles, and ordinary people can only have enough food and clothing at most!
For a group of militiamen who could only survive on black bread and bone vegetable soup, this sumptuous dinner was no less than a banquet! What’s more, there was wine!
"Brother, tell me! What happened? Why are you celebrating today?" Arthur put a small piece of gold into the cook's hand without leaving any trace, and asked with a smile on his face. "Another dragon knight was born in the kingdom today!" The cook looked around and moved his lips slightly, but the words he uttered made Arthur feel like he was struck by lightning.

"Again... again? Again!" Arthur stood there in a daze, completely stunned. The dragon knight that was just out of their reach, the dragon knight that they couldn't even touch the door... Another one was born in the Kingdom of Lagran?
Arthur was in a daze and didn't even notice that the cook had walked away. He just stared at the sky in a trance.

……

"Your Majesty, the news has spread!" The cook who had just been in front of Arthur appeared in front of Roland. On the table in front of him were the small gold nuggets that Arthur had stuffed into his hands.

"Take what he gives you! Go down! You did a good job!" Roland threw the gold to the person in front of him and said softly.

"Darian, the secret guards are pretty good. Find a way to spread them throughout the area controlled by the kingdom. At the same time... try to infiltrate the south! I need intelligence from the south!" Roland knocked on the table and said calmly.

The light behind him twisted, and a figure with a faint golden glow walked out from the sunlight. It was Darion Nightblade!

"Yes! Your Majesty! The Hidden Guards will not let you down!" Darion Nightblade nodded, then disappeared into the light again!

"It works, but there are too few people!" Roland shook his head with some regret, but then he laughed. After all, he still had time. Decades would be enough for him to spread his tentacles all over Middle-earth!
Roland accidentally saw these secret guards in the system mall. After paying the price of all his honor points, Roland directly possessed a basic intelligence force out of thin air! More than a dozen imperial secret guards with special concealment skills joined Roland's command. This allowed Roland, who originally had no intelligence force, to have tentacles for the first time to learn about Middle-earth events in addition to his own advanced knowledge, even if these tentacles were still very weak.

After handing over the leadership of the Hidden Guards to Darion Nightblade, Roland felt the sense of control for the first time! These assassins with strong concealment ability would conceal their fighting spirit and transform into ordinary people to blend into the crowd to explore various information. Under the infiltration of the Hidden Guards, the Gondorian army, which was originally like a sieve, was completely controlled by Roland. Through the channels of the Hidden Guards, Roland was also quietly passing on various information, on the one hand to strengthen Denethor II's confidence, on the other hand to establish a stronger psychological advantage for Raglan in the hearts of the Gondorians from the beginning.

"What a waste of talent!" Adolf Heinrich said speechlessly. Roland used the Imperial Secret Guard, a strategic force of the Empire, to act with others... Adolf Heinrich didn't know what Roland was after. As a high-ranking official in the kingdom, he naturally had the right to know the existence of this force.

"Let's see the effect first." Roland didn't seem bored, but he wanted to test the true quality of these imperial-era secret guards. What if they become like the spies sent by the United States to the big guys and are exposed the moment they open their mouths? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to be taken to other places?
