Some things have to be faced. At least now he knows who his enemies are and what to do.
The gods above the sky are all potential enemies.
Not only are there enemies in the sky, but also within the planes.
He wanted to be a hero, the king of all races. Has he asked the opinions of the heroes of other races? Do the many powerful people within the human race agree?
You can win the hearts of the people by speaking reason, but at the high-end combat level, strength is ultimately what matters.
His fighting ability is superior to his peers, but it is far from enough.
After sitting under the towering trunk of the Oro sacred tree for a whole day, Roland stood up facing the last rays of sunset, brushed off the dust from the corners of his clothes, smiled and looked up at the giant tree that was more than 9,000 meters high.
Everyone is choosing their own path.
So was Oro, and so was he.
Once you have made your choice, don't regret it. Treat every day as if it were your last, give it your all, and don't be afraid of failure.
He took a step forward, the space in front of him twisted, and a dark purple teleportation array appeared out of thin air.
He strode into the twisting void without hesitation.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the Oro Palace.
In front of him, the ignorant girl rested her hands on her cheeks, her mind wandering.
Roland sat down in front of her, also resting his chin on his hand, without saying a word.
"Ah, how come you suddenly appear and scare me!"
The girl, who finally woke up, was so frightened that she stood up suddenly, waving her sleeves and knocking over the teacup on the table.
Roland tapped his fingertips lightly, and the teacup stopped in mid-air before falling to the ground.
He lightly pinched the teacup's ear, picked it up and put it back where it was.
"I'm sorry, I can't bear to disturb you when I see you thinking about life."
"I, I don't think about life."
Lucy's cheeks flushed red, and she stammered to hide her inner anxiety.
"Your eyelashes always flutter when you lie."
"No, my eyelashes didn't move!" Lucy protested softly.
"You didn't deny lying." Roland crossed his fingers, clasped them in front of his chest, and smiled brightly.
Lucy knew that Roland had tricked her into telling him something, so she snorted and whispered, "Tell me, why do people get married?"
“This is a false proposition.”
Roland said calmly: "In the long river of history, the era of marriage was very short. Before the Third Era, there was not even the concept of marriage."
“Marriage is a product of class society to maintain family order.”
"What you said is very profound. I don't understand it." Lucy thought for a moment and chose to be honest.
"Actually, I don't quite understand it either. This is the wisdom left by a sage named Carl."
Roland said calmly: "Some things don't have to be taken so seriously. If marriage can't bring you a better life, then it's better not to get married."
Lucy lowered her head, not daring to look Roland in the eye. She said faintly, "Sister won't harm me. The arrangement she made for me is definitely the best."
"I also believe that you are the best husband and will definitely make me happy. I was just imagining things just now. Don't be angry."
"I am not a willful little girl. I will definitely fulfill the engagement. I am learning how to be a qualified wife from the etiquette teacher in the palace. I will definitely not let you down."
Lucy raised her head bravely and asked softly but stubbornly, "If political factors are removed, do you still want to marry me?"
"think."
"Can you tell me the reason?"
"You are beautiful."
"There are many beautiful elves around you. I am your fiancée, so you are not allowed to lie to me."
Lucy obviously didn't accept this slightly perfunctory statement.
Looking at her serious eyes, Roland said calmly:
"I am probably a selfish person. My heart aches whenever I think of you marrying someone else. I can't force you to be single for the rest of your life, so I might as well just marry you and take you home."
Lucy's face flushed instantly, and she didn't dare to look Roland in the eye.
This answer is not sweet talk, it may even be a bit glib, but it is definitely what is in the heart.
Lucy didn't expect that she was so special in Roland's heart. She almost asked, "Is he like this to my sister too?", but was interrupted before she could finish her words.
There can be no rush.
First let Roland accept himself, then let him accept his sister.
He wouldn't have the heart to see his sister live a lonely life or marry someone else.
My sister is the best, we just need to give her a stage to show herself.
Looking at Lucy's flushed cheeks and flustered eyes, Roland knew that she was not ready at all and was simply obeying the marriage contract.
He smiled and held the girl's delicate face in his hands, looking at her with his bright eyes.
Lucy's heartbeat didn't speed up. She knew that what was coming would come eventually. Her heart was already in a mess. She simply closed her eyes and let Roland taste it.
Now that my fiancée has offered me her soft red lips, there is naturally no reason not to taste them.
Roland leaned forward and kissed her.
Since she's not ready yet, just give her a hard push.
When their lips touched, there seemed to be a roar in Lucy's mind, and her whole body was floating in the air, without any solid ground to stand on.
Just as her soul was leaving her body, a mighty sound seemed to vibrate deep in her soul, sending her wandering soul back to her body.
Then countless memories and knowledge poured into the sea of consciousness.
This is the ancient tree knowledge that Roland selected for her.
It is the most suitable practice method for the Oro people's physique.
The Oro people are fundamentally different from other human beings in this plane. Not only does they have human blood flowing in their bodies, but also the juice of the Oro sacred tree.
Their way of existence is very similar to that of the tree elves. In the Fifth Age, the tree elves even regarded them as their own kind and called them short-eared elves.
The knowledge from the Oro sacred tree can help Lucy improve her strength faster and break through the shackles.
After an unknown amount of time, Lucy finally woke up from her shock and looked at Roland in disbelief.
"Lucy, you now have a long time to think about what marriage is."
Lucy opened her mouth, wanting to say that she understood, but was interrupted by Roland's fingertips pressing softly on her lips.
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time."
By the time Lucy reacted, Roland had disappeared, leaving behind only the tingling sensation on her lips and the knowledge engraved deep in her soul.
The corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly, and there was no more confusion in her heart.
Volume 224: City of Freedom: Chapter : Hold on Firmly and There Will Be a Way
Roland did not stay in the Kingdom of Oro for too long.
Although he also wanted to spend more time cultivating his relationship with Princess Lucy, wanted to take care of the sleeping Oro sacred tree nearby, and wanted to restart the magic teleportation array as soon as possible, he received a letter for help from the Hansa Kingdom.
The orc tribes in the north of the Hansa Kingdom suddenly began to gather. King Aesop was terrified and prepared for the worst. He sent an urgent letter for help to Roland.
If the orcs were determined to attack, the Hansa Kingdom alone would not be able to stop them, and he could only ask for help from Roland and Lily, his fellow tribesmen.
The Holy Essen Empire has many internal problems and a rigid system. Even if they are willing to rescue it, by the time the Imperial Supreme Council figures it out, the Hanseatic Kingdom will have been destroyed.
What's more, they are unlikely to send troops.
The Holy Essen Empire is nothing more than a loose federation disguised as an empire and cannot form a joint force at all.
The Frankish Empire was isolated overseas, thousands of miles away, and had never had any exchanges with other empires.
The Lisenburg Empire is in a state of disgrace, and the goblins have penetrated into the heart of the empire and are still pretending to be dead, which is even more unreliable.
The three empires were unable to stand up, and Roland became the light of the human race.
After reading Aesop's letter for help, Roland suddenly thought of the prophecy of resurrection from the dead.
Aesop's predictions were very accurate.
Brother Aesop is a useful man, and the Hansa Kingdom is an important node in the Gracia-Oro-Fran trade route. Roland and the orcs also have accounts to settle.
The Hanseatic Kingdom must be saved, but we must be careful about the methods and means.
The Hansa nation is small and weak, but the entire country has a blood feud with the orcs and has a strong fighting will. They will definitely be able to hold out for a short period of time, so there is still enough time for rescue.
Roland was not thinking of a simple rescue.
The orcs were like weeds on the field. They could never be wiped out in waves.
Sending troops to rescue this year has solved the immediate problem, but what about next year?
We can't send troops to rescue every time.
It is really a waste of time and money.
Faced with this situation, Roland quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao.
The orcs have gone on a long expedition, so their homes must be empty, and most of those left behind in the base camp are the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Even if all orcs could become soldiers, the fighting power of the old and weak would still be very weak.
Just a few light cavalry are enough to defeat the orcs.
Roland made a decision quickly. He led the Elf Guard across the vast grassland to attack from behind, while the Oro Kingdom army came to rescue them head-on.
The rescue army does not need to rush into the battle. They should wait until the orcs receive the news of the fall of their base camp and their morale collapses before pursuing them. A great victory can be expected.
A simple and wise deployment is enough to deal with the orcs whose brains are all brawn.
Roland found Lily and discussed the details of the military expedition with her.
Lily did not object to sending troops to rescue, but she was firmly opposed to Roland personally leading a small force to launch a surprise attack.
"This is too dangerous!"
Lily coughed lightly and said softly, "What I mean is that no matter how you arrange it, a surprise attack across a thousand miles of grassland is full of risks. You are the king, you shouldn't take such a risk."
"You are my sister's fiancé, what will she do if something happens to you?"
"A surprise attack is certainly important, but just find a smart and capable general, and don't take the risk yourself."
Watching Lily trying hard to hide her true feelings, Roland suppressed his laughter but still shook his head.
"A surprise attack may seem like a minor move, but it is the key to victory or defeat."
"At this critical moment, you can only rely on yourself."
Roland raised his hand to stop Lily's persuasion and said in a deep voice: "I have to go this way. If I change people, how will I deal with emergencies? If I need to let go, will you dare to lead the entire army to fight to the end?"
Lily was silent.
She knew Roland was right.
The detachment that launched the surprise attack was the elite among the elite. Although they were small in number, they could not withstand the loss of the entire army.
There is no way to ask for instructions for this kind of special operation. All decisions have to be made by the commander on the front line, which requires extremely strong on-the-spot decision-making ability and the courage and determination to win.
Apart from Roland, there is indeed no one else.
Lily looked at Roland with a gradually softening gaze, and said softly but firmly, "Since you have made up your mind, I fully support you. I will personally lead the 150,000-man rescue force."
Roland nodded in agreement. Lily's decision was absolutely correct.
The 150,000-man army is most of the mobile force that the Kingdom of Oro can mobilize.
At this special moment when the monarch has just ascended the throne and his foundation is unstable, he hands over the main force of the army to a general. Even if this general is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, who can guarantee that none of his subordinates will want enormous wealth and glory?
Only when the king personally leads the army can stability be guaranteed.
