The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth

"Hoo!" Heavy breathing mixed with the sound of heavy steps came. The ground trembled with the resonance of the steps, and scattered clods of soil jumped up and down on the ground.

A flaming red dragon flag appeared on the horizon, and the golden holy dragon emblem with its claws and fangs shining in the sun. Rows of neat shield walls appeared in everyone's field of vision. Rapid infantry wearing heavy mail armor lined up. A neat team gathered around the big flag, and behind them were 500 heavily armed shooters on foot - Batania shooters! There are 25 El Niño rangers on each wing with swords and bows. The smallest number of them are the most terrifying killers hidden among them. The name of dragon hunters gives them the courage to fight for their lives against any enemy! Just the distance between these 50 El Niño rangers was enough to inflict heavy casualties on the Centaurs.

"Woooooo~" Young centaurs and their mothers emerged from the withered woods, and then a dozen older centaurs also came out tremblingly, raising their weapons. It seemed that It seemed that he was going to fight for his life with Roland and others.

Verve hurriedly stepped forward. After speaking in Elvish language that he could not understand, these old, weak, sick and disabled men disarmed their weapons, but the wariness and anger in their eyes could not be concealed.

"My army is coming!" Roland turned his head to look at the infantry who were slowly pressing over, and a smile appeared on his lips. Now even if the Centaurs really want to fight again, they have no chance. 700 Bataan The Nian Archer's multiple arrow covering shots can completely make the Centaur feel distressed to the point of shutting down, and there is also the El Nino Ranger, known as the dragon hunter, and more importantly, the rapid infantry with superior stasis power can completely make the Centaur shut down. If you can't charge, if you really fight, there will be nothing but massacre!

"Your Highness!" Renault came on horseback, and the rhythmic sacred aura on his body showed that he had blessed everyone along the way, so that they could come quickly.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Roland nodded affirmatively. Although Renault sometimes has his flaws, he is absolutely reliable at critical moments! What about the Governor of the North?

"What did they say? Your Highness?" Renault looked at the centaur who was confronting the knights and horse archers.

"That's it..." Roland quickly told Renault the story of the centaur.

"So miserable?" Renault's eyes widened. Isn't this a typical scapegoat? If it hadn't been for this encounter, who would have known that there was actually a sacrifice from the poor Centaur family behind the Gushan War?

"But don't tell me, it's really useful!" Renault suddenly smiled mysteriously, licked his lips, and showed an expression in his eyes that only Roland could understand.

"It's not good to do this..." Roland is a "child" who has received nine years of compulsory education. Some people say that doing this is a bit immoral...

"Isn't His Highness excited? This is an existence comparable to 300 knights at a critical moment!" Renault whispered.

"Hey! What are you whispering about! We centaurs will not give in! Our old and weak tribesmen can't survive without leaving here!" Balder said with his neck turned red. He didn't know there was a lord here before. At that time, he was blushing because he was angry about Lagrand's "invasion". Now that he knows the owner of this place, he is blushing because of shame. But Badr is unwilling to take a step back! Without their shelter, only the young and strong can survive in the wilderness at the end of winter. The corpses of women, children and the elderly will surely be scattered everywhere... He has no way to retreat.

"Your Highness, look, they can't survive without here, why not just... like this?" Renault winked, his eyes full of expectation.

"What kind of riddles are you trying to play again?" Kaslo saw from the corner of his eye these two live treasures who kept winking and making little moves, and couldn't help but have a dark line in his head. How could it be that in such a serious situation in front of the two armies, it felt like these two were visiting the vegetable market? Like an old lady shopping for groceries, she is picky and haggles.

"How about this?" Roland said with a guilty conscience. It felt unethical.

"That must be the case! A win-win situation!" Renault immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Is it really good? Like this?" Roland wasn't sure.

"This is the best way!" Renault affirmed.

"Ahem!" Roland raised his fist under his mouth and coughed a few times before adjusting his clothes.

"Then Lord Badr, in the name of King Lagrand, I will ennoble this place to live with you for the winter! Let's temporarily name this place Tupt Forest! From now on, you will be the lord of this place! Now you can kneel down and be loyal to me Already! Lord Tuput Badr!" Roland said in a loud voice.

"What?" Verve's jaw was dislocated in an instant, and the elf's elegance was thrown away thousands of miles away. This King Roland is going to recruit an army of centaurs!

"This..." The corners of Kaslo's eyes kept twitching. Is His Highness crazy? Who doesn't know that centaurs are on the list of exclusive races in Middle-earth, and they are also at the top. He even dared to take on centaurs... He really looked like Emperor Raglan...

"Tell me! Your! Choice!" Roland looked at Badr with cold eyes.

"Your Highness the King, we only hope to stay for a while, and we will definitely be richly rewarded in the future! Allegiance is not necessary..." Balder looked at Lagrand's army, which numbered more than a thousand, and had to say bravely. It's not that he is not tough, I really can’t beat him! An army of a thousand professionals is something that even an army of half-orcs must consider before they see it!

"Either surrender and be loyal to me! Or leave this place! Or... be buried here!" Roland gave him no chance to argue.

"..." Badr's eyes were red, and emotions such as anger, unwillingness, struggle, helplessness, and sadness kept flashing through his eyes, and finally...

"Plop!" Badr knelt down on his two front legs. He looked at the tribesmen behind him and had to close his eyes in pain.

"Badr, the chief of the Tuput tribe, is willing to offer you my loyalty! From now on, I will fight for you! I will respond to your calls and orders, and at the same time, I ask you to protect me!" Badr said each word with his eyes closed. Pain said, for the stubborn centaurs, once they have sworn a pledge of allegiance, they will never betray it in their lives, because their belief in advocating nature makes them extremely simple and loyal.

"I accept your allegiance! I canonize you as Baron Tuput! Tuput Forest will be your fief! Your people will be your territory! In your territory, you will have the right to collect taxes and recruit soldiers here. Troops, management of government affairs and other rights. At the same time, you need to abide by the laws of the country and assume your own obligations! From now on, you will fight side by side with me. You will use the sword and plow in your hands to expand territory and gain glory! The glory of Laglan will follow you Go forward! The Dragon God protects you and me!" After speaking, Roland tapped Badr's shoulders with the tip of his sword.

"Get back on your feet! Baron Bader!" Roland said with a satisfied smile, this wave of blood is worth the profit!

"Good guy..." Kaslo murmured, how big a move did Renault and Roland play? After a while, the whole family was deceived!
