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

Chapter 925: Early Spring Enemy Shadow! (Happy New Year to Everyone)

"What's going on?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo, who was leading the way, looked at the commotion behind him and quickly turned his horse's head and galloped back (although he was a sixth-level hero, he was not a fool and knew how to ride a horse to travel)

"Your Highness, the people behind have fallen behind! We have sent out troops to gather them up!" Okrien Norman rode past quickly on his horse, leaving only his voice lingering around Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo.

"Don't bring shame to the family!" Oakrian Liujin narrowed his eyes and his voice sounded beside Oakrian Norman's ear.

"..."Okrian Norman waved his hands behind him, indicating that he understood.

"We need to slow down our march! Those civilians are not soldiers! They can't march fast enough!" Okrien Ryukin shook his head at Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo.

"But it's not safe here! The map shows that we are on the edge, and the North is right next to us! The North has already become a paradise for orcs back then, let alone now... It's a pity for the Baikal family..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo sighed.

"Forget it, tell everyone to slow down the march! We have to protect them after all!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo looked at the long dragon-like team behind him. He naturally couldn't give up these remnants of the empire. If the empire really perished, these people would undoubtedly be the ones closest to him!

"That's right...spread out the reconnaissance! There's no need to clench the fists of the Knights of the Fourteenth Legion, let them spread out their reconnaissance!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo held his forehead helplessly. Now the Knights under the Fourteenth Legion can be said to be a pile of shit when they are together! They are the representatives of the stars in the sky when they are scattered! Those knights from all corners of the world are good at fighting alone! After all, they are the "gods" who can break out of the siege and join the Fourteenth Legion! Don't forget that these people are not breaking out as an organized unit!

"Yes!" Okrian Ryukin nodded. Instead of forcing these uncoordinated knights together, it would be better to let them play freely. These knights would have no way to combine and attack without reorganization. The premise for the glory skills to work is the discipline of the Knights' Order to advance and retreat in unison. Those who swarm together are not the Knights' Order but horse thieves!

……

"Swish!" The sharp knight sword flashed a streak, and an orc's head flew up with a surprised expression. Obviously, it didn't expect that a human knight would appear in the corner!

"Hiss! Are the orcs coming out for the winter?" The knight slowly stopped his horse and picked up a handful of snow from the ground and squeezed it. It was obvious that the frozen snow had begun to melt, and the end of winter was over!

"Spring..." The knight's eyes fell on the green sprouts emerging from the dug snow pile, and his heart trembled suddenly.

"Damn it!" He quickly grabbed the orc's head, jumped on his horse, and ran towards the main force without looking back.

……

"Your Highness! Your Highness! I think you should see this!" After going through layers of notifications, the knight finally came in front of Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo. He placed the head with ice already frozen on the broken neck in front of Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo.

"Orcs?" Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes!" the knight breathed.

"Where did they meet?" Archduke Okrian Yasuo asked. "North! Less than 10 miles away from our rear guard!" the knight said in horror.

"Are you a member of the Knights of Free Will?" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo looked up at the emblem on the knight's chest. A cut crown looked extremely glaring.

"Yes! But Your Highness, we are now in the same group!" the knight said calmly. The Knights of Free Will only wanted to overthrow the emperor, but they were not so crazy as to collude with the orcs to harm the people.

"Damn it! What the hell! One day I have to fight alongside a cult..." Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo couldn't help but slap his forehead. He was actually on the same front with the rebels. If he told anyone about it, it would be a disgrace to the family of Grand Duke Gale. From now on, Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo would just cover his face when he goes out!

"We have no intention of engaging in an ideological battle with you, but the orcs are an imminent threat now! As the supreme leader here, you need to come up with an idea!" The knight of the Knights of Free Will shook his head.

"Spring is here! The orcs have revived, and they will come out on a large scale to look for food! If these bastards hold our team back, more and more orcs will pounce on us and hold us back! We will be stuck in a quagmire! We can't be held back by them! Norman! Take the Wind Knights to spread out and strangle the orcs around!" A cold light flashed in Grand Duke Ochrian Yasuo's eyes. As long as the orcs didn't discover their large army, they would not be surrounded!

"Okay, Your Highness!" Okrian Norman pounded his chest, his eyes full of determination. It was foreseeable that the orcs along the way would be in big trouble!

"Go! Do what you are best at! I want to see the capabilities of the Free Will Knights who were able to confront the Royal Knights in the past! Kill every alien you see!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo narrowed his eyes, looking at the knights of the Free Will with cold eyes. The Free Will Knights had indeed confronted a square-flag knight group under the Royal Knights, and both sides refused to give in and ended up in a draw!

"Okay, Your Highness, you will be satisfied!" The knight just nodded slightly and then rode away.

"...Ryukin, you go to the back of the team! If there are orcs harassing us... you know what to do!" Grand Duke Okrien Yasuo looked at Okrien Ryukin and said, as the only remaining sixth-rank swordsman of the Wind Family, he is undoubtedly a good candidate to cover the rear!

"Ang!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo drew out the Wind Blade, which was the ancestral artifact of the Wind Family! According to legend, this four-foot cold blade had received the blessing of the Day Dragon and the Night Moon Dragon, so when the sword was drawn, it often sounded like a dragon's roar, and a virtual dragon shadow was circling around the blade!

"When the sword is useless!" Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo's heart was cold. After the fall of the empire, these people were his only remaining people! If anyone dared to raise a hand to them, Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo would not mind cutting off their claws! The title of noble of the Lagran Empire is not only a right! It is also a responsibility!

"7 people..." Grand Duke Okrian Yasuo clenched his cheeks tightly. He knew very well that with the limited supplies he had now, he could not go far with 7 people. He needed to solve the supply problem as soon as possible.

"Scouts, advance 20 miles! Pay attention to investigating villages, towns and cities!" A trace of struggle flashed in Grand Duke Ochrien Yasuo's eyes. It would be even better if he could encounter the forces left over from the empire. But if it were other races... Grand Duke Ochrien Yasuo wouldn't mind covering his face and imitating his ancestors to play the role of a horse thief!

What? You said that the Jifeng family played the role of horse thieves? Uh... Don't worry about the history of the imperial nobles! Besides, even if they were horse thieves, they never robbed the imperial territory. They just cried bitterly for the happiness of the people of the empire.

……

"Kill! Don't let them get away! Kill them all! Don't let any one get away!" In the wilderness far away from the main force, several knights, holding lances and swords in their hands, indiscriminately hacked and killed the orcs who came out to look for food. The orcs fled in fear.

Happy New Year to my family! I wish you all good health, good luck and all your wishes come true in the new year! I hope all the bosses will give me a red envelope.
