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

Chapter 955: Grassland Elves Heading East

Here, everyone was happily having a banquet while drinking tribute wine. Although the food was not very exquisite, it was acceptable in front of the expensive tribute wine of Dorwinion. On the other hand, Vanerve, who had just been eating bread and drinking vegetable soup in River Rapids, heard the news that he had to set out as soon as he saw Duke Yunfeng.

"This is the meeting record of Lagrande City! See if there are any objections. If not, just execute the order!" Duke Yun Feng looked at Vanerwe with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He thought that Roland was just mobilizing troops on a small scale and there would be no other major movements. He did not expect that Roland's move this time was so big that he instantly set up a makeshift team. Although it still broke apart at the slightest touch, at least it finally had a structure.

"Let me take a look!" Van Erwei took the record and raised his eyebrows instantly.

"Oh my! Such a big move? Even we have to go over? Is he planning to attack?" Vanerwei asked doubtfully. After all, the ancient war tree was originally a slow-moving attack fortress. No one would use it as a defensive facility if conditions allowed!

"I'm not sure, but he definitely needs you!" Yun Feng nodded to Vanerwei. No matter what the situation was, Roland needed the ancient war tree and must have encountered a problem.

"No problem! I'll go back and take my people with me to pack up and then we'll set off!" Vanerwei nodded in understanding. As he depended on Roland, he had no reason or need to refuse Roland's order. After all, Vanerwei was very grateful for the elven holy sword Manicati, which enabled him to become a sixth-level elf with the confidence to protect his people. The existence of the ancient war tree made the grassland elves and Raglan deeply bound. The grassland elves who had suffered for so many years finally enjoyed the nourishment of the natural origin again. Although it was not as majestic as the ancient tree of life and the magic well, its essence was comparable!

"Well, if you are afraid of the risk, leave the women and children in the Rapids. It is always safer here!" Yun Feng said solemnly to Van Erwei. As the prime minister of the kingdom, he now needs to proceed from a strategic level. Leaving the women and children behind is for protection and for the grassland elves to worry about. As for whether Van Erwei is willing to do so, it depends on him. Leaving them behind is just a double insurance for the kingdom.

"No need! There are no cowards among the grassland elves! Besides, women and children can go to Lagran City for safety. It's not easy to get a chance to bathe in the essence of the ancient tree. Don't waste it!" Vanerwei shook his head decisively. Are you kidding me? You want to drive the elves off the ancient war tree? Don't be kidding me! We are the loyal people of the kingdom! We are extremely glorious to bathe in the grace of King Roland! What kind of pride of the elves? Can it compare to the real benefits brought by the ancient tree?

Compared to humans, the prairie elves' long lifespan has allowed them to witness all kinds of intrigues, but the prairie elves are not fools, and they still have basic ability to distinguish who is good to them!

What? You said that the elves gave up their honor to lick the humans and gave up their dignity? Then I ask you, where were you when the grassland elves were living in the wilderness, living a precarious life? King Roland has the Holy Sword and the Ancient War Tree! How could I not know who is good to me? Answer me! Damn it, when the grassland elves were suffering, no one cared, but now that they are rich, they are complaining!

"Okay, as long as you have confidence in it! Don't let women and children get hurt!" Yun Feng nodded. There are no civilians in the grassland elf tribe. There is only a distinction between women, children and warriors. All young men must carry knives and bows to fight for the tribe!

"Don't worry, I won't joke with my people!" Van Erwei nodded. He had finally gathered thousands of people and almost wiped out all the grassland elf tribes wandering around the Lagran Plain. No, they couldn't even be called tribes. Those teams with only dozens of people could only be called teams of a few families. How could Van Erwei put these people who had been gathered with great difficulty into danger? Besides, accompanying the ancient tree of war was not dangerous.

"Go find the warehouse and get food and supplies. Remember to bring enough arrows and spare weapons! By the way... which route do you plan to take?" Yun Feng frowned and gave Vanerwei instructions, and suddenly thought of this problem that he had overlooked. After all, if it was on the way, the kingdom's dragon knights could provide aerial reconnaissance along the way.

"Let's go straight through the Lagrande Plain!" Vanerwei waved his hand domineeringly.

"Will it be too dangerous? The kingdom in the middle of the plains has not been developed, there are many monsters there, and when the Knights wiped out the orcs, there must be some remnants of orcs left behind..." Yun Feng said worriedly. "Relax, Lord Yun Feng! That's not what you should worry about. Roland asked us to take the ancient war tree with us... As a wise man, don't you know about the ancient war tree?" Van Erwei's eyes flashed with cunning. If he can be named as a war, he must be no good!

"I hope everything is fine! I'm going to find Raynor, so I won't see you off! Be careful on the road!" Duke Yunfeng looked at Van Erwei's confident expression and nodded in understanding. His worries were unnecessary. What could he encounter when the War Ancient Tree opened the way? He couldn't possibly encounter another Dragon King, right?

"Okay! Let's go!" Fanerwei waved at Yun Feng.

……

"Vanerwei and his men are on their way!" Duke Joltea rubbed his tired eyes and handed Roland the information. He drank too much at the banquet last night! Roland was so cunning that he didn't know whether he couldn't handle the alcohol or he did it on purpose. He used himself to block the wine. People came to toast Roland from time to time, but he drank it all for himself! His brain was still confused!

"Let me take a look!" Roland took it and was stunned.

"Wow! Good guy! He actually came directly across the kingdom!" Roland said in surprise as he looked at the route reported by Vanerwe.

"Vanerwei feels that walking along the Rapid River is too slow, and it might take until next year! So he wants to cross it directly!" Duke Joltea explained.

"Will there be any risk?" Roland asked worriedly. After all, although it was called the Raglan Plain, it was actually the kingdom's private land rather than a controlled area. The so-called Knights sweeping across the plain was nothing more than wiping out the hordes of Orc tribes. As for the Warcraft in deeper areas, the Knights kept their distance. One reason was to protect the integrity of the ecology and the biosphere and not to exhaust all resources. The other reason was that they did not have the ability to develop these places. After all, this was not the Raglan Plain of the Imperial Era. There were towns and villages everywhere. Not to mention wild Warcraft, the only thing they could see was because the landscaping was well done!

"No! You don't know about the Ancient War Tree? Uh..." Duke Joltea looked at Roland tentatively, fearing that he really didn't understand.

"I know, but the monsters there haven't been cleared out yet. Although the probability of encountering a powerful monster here is very low, it is definitely not zero!" Roland thought of the Ice Dragon King Asata again...
