The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

"Main mission: If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight! It is required to build a complete city to fulfill your name as king. It requires facilities: a city wall with a height of more than 5 meters, and at least 10 defensive buildings! It has a blacksmith shop, a mill, Leather workshops and other buildings must house at least 500 soldiers and at least 5,000 Lagran civilians.”

"I lost it!" Roland was dumbfounded, what the hell is this? Are the requirements of kings so low now? Can a small town become king? It's not impossible. After all, Bard has already become king in Riverdale City. It doesn't seem like a big deal to become king himself. It's just that these 5,000 Lagrand civilians are very uncomfortable. This is Middle-earth! Where can I find the civilians of Raglan?

"System, what's going on with this civilian?" Roland asked the system tentatively, adhering to the principle of never asking the system when faced with problems.

"Host, please check the territory page yourself!" There was a hint of disdain in the system's cold voice.

"Territory page?" Roland didn't know that he had unlocked another feature.

Roland opened the territory page as he was told, and when he took a closer look, he became furious. Take a look! Do people say it?

Territory scope: Rapid City.

The lonely Swift River City appeared on the page. That was fine. After all, he had just started his career, but this was going too far.

Rapid City:

Area: one kilometer in radius.

Building units: dilapidated lord's castle*1, crumbling dwellings*100, dilapidated stone walls in disrepair, and wells that barely produce water.

Troop strength: 203

Population: 0

Evaluation: The lonely king led the remaining people back to their homeland. This ruins that could barely shelter from the wind and rain brought them some comfort. The darkness still threatened the new king. Compared with the lifeless town, its powerful Military prowess is perhaps the only thing she is praised for. Note: There are no civilians in the town!

Ability: As the only territory of the Kingdom of Raglan in Middle-earth, she will attract the remnants of Raglan. The system will guide a wave of wandering Lagrand civilians to arrive every day, hoping that the lord can properly resettle them.

Allows civilians from this area to be recruited to train Swift Infantry.

"Uh..." The original anger was replaced by surprise. Although he was completely criticized by the system, Roland was moved by this ability building that attracted the common people of Lagrand. When did a system that was more evil than the capitalists be so generous? Knowing that the civilians in Swift Current Town can be transformed into Swift Current infantry at any time, Roland has a steady supply of soldiers.

"Huh? These are our wandering tribesmen!" The Battanian shooter on guard saw a group of refugees in large and small bags at a glance. Although they were extremely miserable, their team still held up a rough-made Laglan dragon. flag, which allowed the Battanian shooters to quickly determine their identities.

"Oh no! System, can I take back the emotion I felt before?" Roland bared his teeth and looked at the group of attracted refugees in front of him.

Not to mention the pitifully small number of people, there were only 2 adults among the 7 people, and the others were half-grown children. It looked like a family... Roland was frowning and thinking.

"Plop!" A row of people suddenly knelt down, startling Roland. Just as he was about to call them to get up, the leader of the group spoke up.

"Dragon God! It turns out that there are imperial armies and lords in this world... we... we thought that the lords had all died! We have been wandering for so long and finally saw Ragland's dragon flag flying again..." The man Choked.

"..." Roland reached out to help them up, and for the first time they felt the heavy responsibility on their shoulders as kings.

"You are safe! The empire's army will protect you! You... don't have to leave your homeland anymore." Thousands of words turned into a sigh, and Roland patted their shoulders.

Roland looked at the territory page again and found that the population had changed from 0 to 7.

"These fucking 5,000 civilians have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!" Roland complained helplessly.

"Be alert!" Suddenly Renault shouted loudly, and everyone quickly put down the boards and stones in their hands and quickly climbed onto the wall. The civilian family who had just arrived habitually huddled next to a dilapidated wooden house and shivered. Roland felt distressed when he saw it. , how bad must this be to be able to huddle in a corner and take refuge so skillfully...

"What's wrong? Renault?" Roland raised his feet and jumped up the stone wall to look at Roland.

"The war mage is here! I feel the magic power of the fourth-level mage!" Renault said solemnly. Although the war mage can't help Renault, the paladin leader, and Caslo, the flying dragon knight, the other soldiers and Roland can never resist it. Terrifying war magic.

"War Mage?" Roland suddenly thought of the gryphon and earth mage he purchased.

"Don't be too excited. Maybe it's our people. After all, more and more Lagrand survivors are returning." After speaking, Roland pointed to the arriving family of refugees to hide the fact that he bought the mage at a high price.

"Maybe you are right, but we still have to be careful. After all, the current Rapid City is still very fragile. A high-level spell can destroy us." Renault still did not relax his vigilance.

"Dear King Ragland! Radil is at your service!" A loud voice came. An old man wearing a khaki robe came from afar on a thin horse. Although he was thousands of meters away, his voice sounded loud and clear. It echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

"Oh! Dear Your Highness, your glory will shine on the sun and the moon forever, the Lagrand Empire will be revived in your hands, and you will transform from Your Highness to His Majesty!" The old man solemnly came to the wall and faced the stone wall. Roland saluted.

"Welcome, Master Radil! May the glory of the empire always shine on you and me!" Roland responded with a smile, while staring at him curiously.

"Hahaha, Your Highness, these gryphon eggs can be regarded as a meeting gift from the old man." Radil smiled and took out a cloth bag from the bag on his horse. Judging from the horse's reaction, the contents inside The portion is not light.

"Oh! Dragon God! There are actually 5 griffon eggs!" Kasluo jumped down from the wall and opened the bag excitedly and looked at the griffin eggs that stood up.

"Come on, Master Radil, let's go and arrange a place for you to live. By the way, you will take care of these eggs of Caslo." Roland walked down the wall and opened the door made of branches to invite Radil in. .

"Huh? Dragon Knight? Your Highness, you have indeed been favored by Lagrand!" Radil expressed surprise that the Dragon Knight could still see Lagrand now, and at the same time blessed Roland.

"Hahaha, you're welcome. Your construction is still needed here." Roland complimented. After all, every earth mage is a qualified builder. They can use magic to construct stone bricks engraved with magic patterns to build cities.

"Okay, let everyone disperse. Try to clear this place out as soon as possible. By the way, arrange a safe and clean house for the civilians who have just arrived to stay." Roland met the grateful eyes of the refugees.

"Thank you, sir..." the refugees choked with excitement.

"It's okay, tomorrow will definitely be better..." Roland chuckled and looked towards the turbulent rushing river.
