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

Chapter 924 King Lagrande!

"Nice to meet you, Solongil! I heard that you are a ranger from the north called Strider?" Roland looked at the man in front of him who was called the savior with curiosity.

The original book describes Aragorn as follows: When Aragorn first appears in The Lord of the Rings, he is already 87 years old, but due to the longevity of the Dunedain, he has actually only completed one-third of his life journey. (Aragorn died at the age of 210.) At that time, he had "a head of fluffy gray hair", was "thin" [7] but had a "pale and resolute" face, "a pair of sharp grey eyes", "a piercing spirit", and a "deep and rich voice". Years of travel have left "traces" on Aragorn's face. As a "wanderer", he is not "beautiful", but when he was young, he was "tall and handsome", like a "young monarch". Although Aragorn did not often wear gorgeous clothes during his travels, the majesty of his successor to Isildur always bursts out at the right time. He is "full of heroic spirit", "his figure seems to have suddenly risen", and he exudes "unparalleled power and kingly majesty". This kingly majesty can impress friends and scare off enemies...

But at this moment, Roland's attention was attracted by the still young Aragorn! At that time, Aragorn was tall and handsome! He was tall, with black and shiny hair like Roland, and his piercing eyes were filled with a light called hope!

"Hello, A...Thorongil!" Roland looked at Aragorn meaningfully and nodded at him.

"So, do you have any explanation for your actions?" Roland raised his chin to indicate. Although he had probably guessed Aragon's intention, the pressure from the country did not allow him to take it lightly.

"It's like this, Your Majesty Roland. We saw the bone dragon, so we were wondering if we could help you..." Aragorn was not afraid. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Roland. Roland saw sincerity in Aragorn's eyes, and Aragorn felt a kind of pressure from Roland's eyes! It was a different breath from Elrond, as if there was a humanoid dragon standing in front of him.

"Crack..." Aragorn's joints, kneeling on one knee, creaked slightly under Roland's pressure.

"Get up! I feel your sincerity! Ranger!" Roland retracted his gaze, and the mountain-like pressure suddenly loosened.

"Thank you for your trust!" Aragorn suddenly gasped. Under Roland's aura, his breathing became disordered. What Aragorn didn't know was that he was really facing a giant dragon! Doss in Roland's arms enveloped Aragorn with his dragon might at that moment!

"Don't act on impulse in the future. Without absolute strength, you will only add two names to the list of sacrifices!" Roland said as he looked at the two rangers. In the past, Roland always guessed that Aragon was a warrior or a knight, but he never expected that after meeting him, he found out that he was actually a ranger!

Looking at the calm Roland, Aragorn felt as if there was a mountain in front of him! Aragorn, who originally wanted to start a conversation, didn't know how to start for a while, and could only look at Roland awkwardly.

"What's wrong, Roland?" Nyx walked towards him, lifting up the hem of her skirt slightly. Her mature, intellectual and pretty face made Aragorn dazed, but he soon came to his senses because Alwen's voice appeared in front of him. He turned his head away and secretly apologized to his lover.

"It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding! Two fledgling rangers were captured by our knights!" Roland said with a smile. He had thought of many ways to meet Aragon, but he had never thought that this guy would be tied up to meet him.

"Well, then when are we leaving?" Nyx glanced at Aragorn, and then stopped paying attention to this ranger who looked like a wild man.

"Don't worry, this place has just experienced war, let's comfort the people first!" Roland shook his head, a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what it meant to have more ability and more responsibility. When he climbed from a small lord to the position of king, he suddenly looked back and felt the heavy weight and responsibility on his shoulders! The road in the Golden Palace is very slippery, you have to climb up by yourself if you fall!

Roland, a commoner for three generations, had no one to teach him the art of being an emperor except for the experience of his ancestors! This position should have nothing to do with him. He grew up by trial and error like those young emperors in history. His only advantage was that he had absolute military power and the loyalty of his people! But this loyalty and trust was both a help and a shackle!

"Oh! Okay!" Nyx nodded. Although she didn't think Roland should do this personally, she still chose to support him since he had spoken. ...

"..." Roland walked silently in the ruined city. A large number of houses were knocked down. The embers in the ruins were still burning. From time to time, wisps of smoke emanated from the rubble. Professionals with water-based combat energy summoned the water elements in the air to condense water streams to put out fires in the city. A large number of residents were homeless and huddled in tents, looking out at the fully armed team.

"Your Majesty..." Some citizens knelt down and saluted Roland tremblingly. Their originally clean linen robes had turned gray and black and were tattered, with strands of cloth hanging from their bodies. However, they still could not hide the respect they had for Roland in their eyes.

"Get up... The kingdom will not let its people suffer! You will be properly resettled soon!" Roland's chest felt choked with anxiety, but he still suppressed his emotions and patted the civilian's shoulder calmly without any fluctuation.

……

"Give these to the people, remember! Distribute them door to door! I don't want anyone to take advantage of this! Baron Lance, do you understand?" Roland took off the Dragon Slaying Sword from his waist and gently placed it in Lance's hand.

Lance's hands trembled, and he said with his lips moving, "Your Majesty, no one will do anything to enrich themselves!"

"Well, I believe you. Maybe not now, but what about in the future? Keep an eye on it, human nature..." Roland shook his head and said nothing more. Not betraying the king was their bottom line, but no one could guarantee their moral ceiling! Roland didn't want to find a bunch of rats in his own home! The lesson of the War of the Rings in Gondor was deeply imprinted in Roland's mind! All those corrupt nobles were showing Roland the appearance of a termite.

"I will, Your Majesty!" Lance hurried away and told the soldiers to move all kinds of supplies. Apparently, the system space that Roland carried with him was the best transport team. Pieces of linen and thick military tents were piled up into a small hill. There were also dry bread and jerky that could be used as hammers!

……

"Slow down! Slow down! The people behind can't keep up!" The knights who were wandering outside rode their horses and galloped to the side of the knights who were leading the way.

Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo frowned, because clearing the way was a dangerous job, so he brought the only organized Knights of the Wind. This square flag knight order composed of third-level knights was much more advanced than Roland's Holy Glory Knights. After all, the Holy Glory Knights were still full of second-level knights. This iron fist composed purely of third-level knights was enough to smash the square formation of tens of thousands of people on the plains!

Three days of cleaning, I was almost exhausted to death...
