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

Chapter 921 Ordering Troops

What stood before Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo was the Fourteenth Legion of the Empire, which looked like a knightly order but was actually a hodgepodge of imperial knights. As the Fourteenth Legion stationed on the imperial border, it should have included at least two reorganized square-flag knight orders, and most of the time there could be as many as five!

Now he was facing a mixed knight group composed of surviving knight veterans who had fought on various fronts. It could not be said that this knight group had no tacit understanding, but only that there was no coordination at all... The level span was even more terrifying! From the fourth-level knight commander to the first-level apprentice knight, it could be said that there was everything, which could be called a history of the development of the imperial knights...

"I don't understand! (Fenghua accent) How can there be members of the Free Will Knights here!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo rubbed his brows. Since when can cults join the imperial army? What? Why are they cults? In the empire, advocating the Republic Parliament to abolish the emperor and elect the Speaker of the Nobles is a way to death!

"The Knights of Free Will were once defeated in the southern border, and the remnants retreated to the noble territories in the eastern border. I guess they retreated with us in a battle..." the private army commanders of the Yasuo family discussed.

"It's really crazy!" Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo's head was as big as a bucket.

"How about we capture them, and then?" A private army general made a gesture of raising his hand and striking with a knife.

"...Get lost!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo kicked him out. After all, why are they still fighting among themselves at this time? Do you really think that the nobles of the East are just the nobles of the South who are bored? The "immortals" in the South are the ones who have maxed out their political struggle attributes, not the nobles of the East!

"Then there's nothing we can do..." Everyone looked at each other and could only shrug helplessly.

“Forget it, let’s ignore them for now. After all, just a few of them can’t cause any trouble. Let’s figure out where to go!” Archduke Okrien Yasuo’s eyes were filled with fatigue. Before being exiled to the void, Archduke Okrien Yasuo wanted to make a comeback, but when he did, it seemed like the empire was gone…

"Why don't we go back and take a look, Your Highness?" someone nearby suggested in a low voice.

"Yeah, I kind of miss the wheat waves in my hometown..." Someone started wiping away tears as he spoke.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Then a low sob sound was heard from the crowd. This scene left Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo dumbfounded. Why did they start crying while talking?

"Stop, stop, stop! Let's see where our exact coordinates are! Let's go back to Lagran City and have a look!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo quickly reached out to stop the tears that were about to burst from everyone, and gave the order to go home.

"Long live!"

"For the Empire!"

"..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo pursed his lips. What about the Empire? The Empire had been dead for eight generations. No one had awakened them for so many years. It was obvious that the situation of the Empire was definitely not good!

"Your Highness, we don't know our exact location, but this is a map of the eastern mountains! If the terrain has not changed drastically over the years, we can go straight southwest and return home!" The Ryukyu Swordmaster (a branch of the sixth-level swordsman), a retainer of the Gale Family, spread out the map and showed Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo the way.

"In fact, Your Highness, the journey back is long, and the empire is probably in trouble...you are also an elector..." Norman, the fifth-level knight commander of the Wind Family, cautiously tested.

"???" Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo slowly turned his head and gave him a black question mark face. "You want to hurt me?" Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo's mouth twitched. There were many electors in the empire, but he had never seen many people fighting for the throne. Instead, a group of kings desperately fled the royal family. He was just a grand duke...

“Your Highness, if it really comes to that, you still need to shoulder the heavy responsibility!” said the Sword Saint Okrien Ryukin Gale. Although he did not agree with Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo’s rash advancement to the throne of the Raglan Emperor, if the empire really fell, someone would have to stand up and lead everyone to move on!

"Get out of here! Don't you have any idea how the Wind Family became the Grand Duke of the East? The predecessors of the family took great pains to escape from the imperial capital and live freely, but you actually want to lock them up again?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo had an expression that said, "Are you crazy?"

"Get out! Shut up! Gather everyone now! Count the number of people and prepare to head south! Okay, shut up!" Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo saw that Okrien Ryukin and Okrien Norman were about to say something, so he quickly opened his mouth to stop them.

"...Yes, sir! As you wish!" Okrien Ryukin and Okrien Norman looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. All this did not escape the eyes of Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo.

Seeing the two men leave obediently, Okrien Yasuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the two men were the ceiling of the entire Swift Wind family's combat power except for himself! A sixth-level swordmaster and a fifth-level knight commander were the bottom line for the family in troubled times. If the two men really wanted to force Okrien Yasuo to wear the yellow robe, then Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo would really be helpless. After all, they were all family members. Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo could only accept it with a pinch of his nose. Fortunately, the two men did not force Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo to abdicate. Of course, it is more likely that it is because the current situation is not right...

Roland, who was far away in Lulong Fortress, didn't know that the Kingdom of Lagrande almost gave birth to two kings at this moment! By some strange coincidence, the embarrassing situation of two suns hanging in the sky was avoided.

……

"A 100-man third-order square-flag knight group... This is the family's private army, the Wind Knights!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo muttered in a low voice.

"500 family private double-edged swordsmen, most of whom are between level swordsmen and level elite swordsmen..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the family square. Unlike other princes of the Lagran Empire, which was founded on knights, the Grand Duke of Wind's family was also considered an outlier in the empire, because this family was different from other families that produced knights and dragon riders. The Grand Duke of Wind's family produced many swordsmen! The Grand Dukes of all generations were almost all either brave warriors or sword masters. The family's special double-edged swordsmen were also well-known in the East! They were also one of the few combat corps that could control cavalry with infantry in the Twilight War of the Empire! During the civil strife in the empire, it was the East Territory Army of the Wind Family that resisted the impact of the southern chaos, which prevented the chaos from spreading to the entire East Territory!

"What a pity that so many good guys are left on the battlefield..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's heart twitched as he looked at the five centuries of double-edged swordsmen left.

"The McDougal family is even more miserable... The Maple Grove Knights were defeated and not even half of their structure was destroyed..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo sighed as he looked at the remnants of the Maple Grove Knights, the core of the McDougal family. This elite knightly order was also composed of third-level knights. No one knew why half of their structure was wiped out, but the chaos at that time was indeed brutal, and it was not easy to withdraw.

"Hiss! That bastard Fenglin Youlan actually hid a group of war mages of a hundred people!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo rubbed his teeth in envy and jealousy. Even though these mages were only at level two or three, and most of them had no hope of advancing in this lifetime, the actual combat capabilities of these experienced mages were not inferior, and it was easy for them to combine a few forbidden spells!

My phone has problems. It freezes all the time. It's time to change it for the New Year...
