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

Chapter 953: Van Erwei Returns to the East (Wins the Resurrection Match)

"You are..." Duke Joltea raised his eyebrows. Roland actually gave his knights to Queen Nyx? You know, the Lagran Empire is a dual-emperor system, and the emperor and queen each control their own imperial guards!

One thing everyone knew was that no matter how Lagrande reorganized his military and political affairs, private soldiers would never be touched, and the Crusaders belonged to the private soldiers of the Nyx family! Roland did not think of annexing these soldiers, but instead rebuilt the Knights of the Nyx family. This made everyone look up to Roland - he was a man!

"Consider it a betrothal gift. After all, we had nothing when we got married. This can be considered as making up for what we owed you back then!" Roland smiled dotingly at Nyx. In the past, he had no way of handing the military token of the Queen's Guard to Nyx personally, but fortunately, he could make up for that regret today.

"..." Lavian looked at Roland in silence. After all, he had looked down on this king who had no ability and only relied on luck from the very beginning. As for Grand Duke Nyx, to whom he swore allegiance, he could not see any hope that Roland would give Nyx happiness. Even the guards that were supposed to be given to the queen at the wedding were nowhere to be seen... This made Lavian speechless, but he kept his original intention, which was to be loyal to his Grand Duke rather than Roland. Therefore, in every war, Lavian carefully protected the weak troops under Nyx.

In Lavian's eyes, the Crusaders and the only remaining members of the Cross Bauhinia Knights were the last pillars of support for Grand Duke Nyx in the kingdom. So no matter how difficult the battlefields were, he always controlled Nyx's private soldiers to be active on the second-line battlefields. He was afraid that after he defeated these armies, he would be abandoned by the lucky King Roland...

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lavian finally stood up and solemnly saluted Roland with his chest beat. He knew that this knight group was Roland's compensation to Nyx and also a reflection of Nyx's status!

"Roland..." Nyx's cheeks flushed, with a hint of shyness and surprise in her eyes. Although she did not value the power in her hands, she could feel her husband's respect and love.

"It's okay. Just leave the Knights to Lavian. You don't have to worry about not being able to lead the Knights!" Roland nodded to Nyx.

"Hmm..." Nyx lowered her head as she looked into Roland's serious eyes. The blush on her face dissipated, leaving her looking smooth and sacred.

"Okay, no need to be polite, go back and take a seat! Remember not to delay the training! The Cross Bauhinia Knights are being rebuilt, and the strength and training levels of the knights vary. You have to be careful! Don't let Nyx down!" Roland knocked Lavian inconspicuously. As for the old man's attitude towards him, Roland didn't care much. After all, this is how the times are. My vassal's vassal is not my vassal, and similarly, my wife's vassal is not my vassal! Roland was very open-minded about this knight commander who didn't eat his own rice.

"As you command, Your Majesty!" Ravian saluted solemnly and sat back in the corner.

"We have figured out the most important Knights Order. Now let's talk about the country's future core army!" Roland said as he looked at the crowd that was talking.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Omsk said with a smile on his face. After all, he was officially included in the Knights Templar. This made Omsk ecstatic. After all, there is a world of difference between a temporary commander and a permanent general!

"The selection and training of dragon knights and griffin knights cannot be left behind! Knight Commander Nogai is currently the only air knight instructor. If he has any needs, Duke Joltea and you, Duke Yunfeng, must do your best to cooperate!" Roland said solemnly. Dragon Knights are the foundation of the empire, and air knights are the branches of the empire. As the saying goes, the high hits the low and the SB, the height advantage of the air knights can beat most professionals below level five!

"I will try my best to cooperate!" Duke Joltea nodded. Although the kingdom currently does not have many cards in its hand, it can still barely train Dragon Knights by itself. Although the trained Dragon Knights may be inferior to the original ones in the Empire, not everyone has the courage and ability to use Dragon Knights as coaches and sparring partners for the Aerial Knights like the Lagran Empire did. For example, Kaslo's combat effectiveness is similar to that of an orthodox Dragon Knight. After all, when he was a Dragon Knight, except for the dragon under his feet, the techniques and combat skills he learned were the same as those of the Dragon Knight. In the Empire, you can understand that the Dragon Knight is a cannon fodder version of the Dragon Knight!

"Those rangers will also be trained and commanded by Vanerve. He has been doing nothing in Rapid City for too long!" Roland waved his hand as if to shoo away a fly.

"No! He is not in Rapid City. He should be with the Ancient War Tree!" Roland covered his face in embarrassment.

"Should we let him come over? I mean, bring the ancient tree of war with him?" Kaslo thought for a moment and suggested to Roland. "After all, there won't be any war in the north and the west in the short term, and here..." Kaslo shrugged at Roland and gave him a look that said you know what I mean.

"Okay! Then let him hand over the Badaniyan archers to Yun Feng! He will bring the remaining rangers here!" Roland thought for a moment and said, compared to the flat area of ​​​​River City, the vast wasteland outside the city of Lagrande is more suitable for rangers, a type of soldier that can be used both near and far!

"Okay, then let's do this! Let Vanerwe set off as soon as possible! I hope that by the time I reach Dorwinian, the Ancient of War is still halfway!" Roland joked. Although the Ancient of War moves slowly, that is only relative to other things. In fact, from a human perspective, it is not much different from the speed of an ordinary person walking in big strides.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duke Joltea took note of the meeting and nodded to Roland.

"Let's adjourn the meeting!" Roland clapped his hands as he looked at everyone.

"Remember to attend the banquet tonight!" Roland suddenly turned around and winked at the people who were about to get up and leave.

"We will definitely be there on time!" Everyone patted their chests to greet Roland, who nodded with satisfaction, and was very happy to be naughty! He was not an unkind king who would drag everyone to talk nonsense all day and not even care about a meal!

"Roland, you go back first, I'll be back soon!" Nix nodded at Roland, motioning him to go back first.

Roland glanced at Lavian who was standing there respectfully waiting and knew that his wife was about to give the old man some instructions, so he nodded and left, and informed the waiter about the dinner.

……

"Dragon God! The sky has darkened and King Roland is now saying to prepare a dinner?" The chefs looked at each other and saw the bread, roast meat and cream soup in their hands, and their scalps tingled.

"If we serve this, Duke Joltea will beat us to death, right?" The head chef shuddered as he looked at the bread.

"Is there enough time?" Everyone looked out the window quickly. The scenery was beautiful as the sun set, and the unpolluted sky was extremely clean, but everyone's heart sank.

"Get started! Everyone, hurry up! The time for preparing meals for dozens of people is very tight! Your Majesty, please be merciful, but we cannot use your mercy as an excuse!" The chef's eyes twitched as he took the lead. He could imagine the horrific scene of dozens of people staring blankly at a few plates of bread, roast meat, and a can of cream soup if his people were not fast enough...

Brothers, I won the resurrection match!
