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

Chapter 876 Encountering a Dwarf
"It would be perfect if you could get off!" Smurf, the elven dragon who felt uncomfortable with Roland riding on his back, sighed. Logically speaking, no dragon in the entire Lagrande Kingdom would let Roland ride on his back except Dos and Cardo. But the duet of the couple plus the deterrent power of the golden dragon Dos... The Smurf had a look of frustration on his face and had to carry Roland on his back with tears in his eyes.

"Look, he's talking nonsense again! It's time to treat him!" Roland patted the Smurf's back with pity.

"Even if this feeling is cured, you will still drool...it's better not to treat it!" Doss added mercilessly.

“…” The Smurf rolled his eyes, but endured it for the sake of Doss and Nyx behind him.

"What's our plan?" Nyx turned and asked Roland. Since her husband had decided to subdue the griffins, he must have a good plan.

"Plan? No! Just go ahead and do it!" Roland waved his hand. What else do I need a plan for when there are already a bunch of dragon knights? I made a plan when there were no dragon knights, and I still make a plan when there are a bunch of dragon knights? Then my dragon knights would have been raised in vain!

"Is it so simple and crude?" Nix was a little surprised. In her impression, although her husband Roland did not do things perfectly, he would always make careful arrangements and prepare several contingency plans. She didn't expect that he would be so radical this time!
"With so many dragons around, isn't it normal for them to swell?" Roland said seriously. Now he was thinking about how to push forward without letting the griffins escape.

……

"Hurry, hurry! We have to hurry!" Legolas galloped on his horse, snowflakes mixed with mud were blown up by the horse's hooves. Legolas was riding his horse in front, and behind him was Aragorn, who was chasing him with his luggage.

"Wait! Wait for me! The luggage hasn't been tied yet!" Aragorn pulled the reins with one hand and the luggage with the other hand. He used too much force and his face turned red.

"Hurry, we need to get to the Lonely Mountain as soon as possible! I hope we can figure out what happened in time!" Legolas said anxiously without stopping.

"Okay, okay, you go first! I'll be there soon!" Aragorn, whose body was being dragged crooked by the luggage, had to stop and tie up their luggage.

"Damn it! You really didn't wait for me at all!" When Aragorn packed his luggage, there was no sign of Legolas in sight. Fortunately, it was not snowing at this time, and the horse hoof prints along the way were still clearly visible. Aragorn did not stop but followed the hoof prints!
……

"Hello... Hello! King Roland!" Dwalin looked at Roland and his group tremblingly on the dwarf border. The tall northern humans were riding on dragons, and the dwarves could only look up at them. "Hello, Dwalin! Say hello to Thorin for me. For some reason, I can't visit him now!" Roland patted Dwalin on the shoulder and said happily. His time was precious. He didn't have the time to waste precious window of time by socializing. The only way was to grab the griffins away while no one was reacting!

Roland is not stupid. He went to visit Lonely Mountain with a group of dragon riders before going to catch the griffin. People who knew that he was here to visit would think that he was going to attack Lonely Mountain! After all, Smaug was able to sneak attack and occupy Lonely Mountain with just one dragon! It’s not too much for Roland and his group of dragon riders to attack Lonely Mountain, right?

Of course Roland would not do that. After all, King Roland still had to save his face. He still had to keep people alive in Middle-earth. There was no need to turn his reputation into the Middle-earth version of Sima Yi. Lonely Mountain was not as worthy of Roland's attention as Sima Yi's attention to the Wei kingdom. Although there was a lot of money in Lonely Mountain, Roland was not short of money now. That money was not as useful as honor points. Ever since he bought the Dragon Knight system in the mall last time, Roland's honor points had returned to zero.

"Okay, Your Majesty Roland!" Dwalin was shocked by the aura of the dragons. The other dwarf soldiers shrank back. They looked at the dragons timidly. After all, in the impression of many dwarves, dragons were the existence that destroyed their homes, especially the fire dragon Renoir under Ajax! From a distance, it looked six points similar to the mutant fire dragon Smaug!
"Don't be nervous, they are all intelligent species! They are not beasts without wisdom!" Roland comforted. After all, to a certain extent, the wisdom of dragons is much higher than that of humans! The dragon race is also a civilization! It's just that the population defect makes the world classify them as super monsters.

"Oh... OK, where are you going?" Dwalin swallowed and said with a trembling heart. Putting aside the idiotic option of Roland and his dragon knights traveling together, when Roland, known as a warmongerer and superhero king, showed up with a group of dragon knights, Dwalin couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, his defense line might become a forbidden spell battlefield without him realizing it! That's what they did at the old pass!

Everyone thought that there would be a epic battle of attack and defense at the Old Pass! Even the bards had written hymns for them in advance... But the process and the outcome of the matter were far beyond everyone's expectations! No one could have imagined that there would be a forbidden spell war that had not happened in Middle-earth for thousands of years! What an epic battle, a battlefield where forbidden spells flew everywhere, life was the stacked chips, and sacrifice was the cornerstone of victory! Either rely on forbidden spells or rely on human lives! But on the battlefield where the big forbidden spells appeared, human lives were not even qualified to be chips!
"We are going to the Gray Mountains! The griffins there need to be cleared out!" Roland patted Dwalin on the shoulder and said nothing. After all, with the current strength of the Kingdom of Lagrande, there was no need to hide anything. His destination was originally aboveboard. The only thing he was worried about was that Thor would take advantage of the dragon riders going north to find excitement for himself, otherwise he would not even hide his whereabouts! But now that they have reached the North, there is no need to hide their whereabouts!

"That group of griffins?" Dwalin reacted immediately. It seemed that there was no unusual movement in the north. It was simply that the uncles of Raglan were going to capture the griffins. The reason why those griffins could be safe and sound and fleece the sheep in these northern kingdoms all day long without being killed was that they did not hurt people, and secondly, everyone wanted to tame them. Some livestock were fed in advance to cultivate feelings. However, the dwarves could not take down these griffins with the dragonhawks in their hands. Those griffins were almost on the same level as dragonhawks, but the number of griffins was larger. Without an overwhelming advantage, Thorin would not dare to take the risk!

"Well, we'd like to use your camp to rest for a while! Sorry for disturbing you!" Although Roland said he was disturbing you, he didn't look embarrassed at all. After all, he came uninvited, so could the dwarves chase him away?
"It's okay, as long as you don't mind the simple conditions!" Dwalin said. After all, it was just a border outpost. It was good enough to have a low wall to block the wind and a stone fortress. Compared to the biting cold wind outside, the fire in the fortress was still warm.

"It's okay, sorry to bother you!" Roland waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

……

"Take care, King Roland!" Dwalin waved goodbye. Roland and his companions only stopped to rest for a while and had a simple lunch before packing up and leaving. They were going to head straight to the Grey Mountains!
