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

Chapter 532 Become a "King Xuan of Qi"!
"What do you want us to do?" Even the usually stern Knight Commander Ravian looked at Roland with respect.

"What to do? What can we do?" Roland's lips twitched as he spread his hands.

"There is no other way but war!" Old Master Radil said calmly, stroking his beard, his wise eyes gleaming on his aged face.

"It wants war! Then let's give it war!" A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Adile's eyes, as if the Bloodhand Hero had returned!
“Yes, since they want to fight, the Lagrange Knights will never back down!” Omsk, also a hero, declared loudly. As one of the most prominent knights in the kingdom, Omsk’s words carried considerable weight.
"Hmm!" Roland nodded. The morale of the army was good; at least there was no sign of cowardice. But how could these warmongers possibly be cowardly? Even the most incompetent Knight Commander Lavian was a commander of the Crusades! Lance was an imperial nobleman! Marcus was the former commander of the Lagrange city defenses! The rest were either sixth or fifth tier, and Renault, who was stationed at Lulong Fortress, was an even more ruthless man. In the history of the game, he was the one who led an ordinary army to charge into the gates of Lagrange. When these audacious guys got together, the topic of their discussion was nothing more than how to deal with those "lovable" enemies.

For these Lagrange brutes, the very idea of ​​retreating was disrespectful to their bloodline, and to be cowardly in battle was even more unworthy of the Dragon God's wishes. Smashing their skulls open with lances was what a normal brute should do.

"Alright, everyone calm down! Yes! I'm talking to you! Omske! Don't look like a warmonger. We're on a defensive counterattack this time! If you want to break out, you can talk to Renault about this yourself!" Roland elegantly raised his glass and took a sip of... water.

"Never mind." Omske obediently shook his head. Although Renault wasn't here, he could easily guess Renault's reaction. After all, the suggestion to take the initiative would definitely get him a severe scolding from Renault.

Roland didn't take it seriously, after all, he could tell that Omsk was just joking. However, Roland certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to tease Omsk.

"Lord Yunfeng, declare war on them in my name!" Roland suddenly said. After all, writing a proclamation to condemn them was an option, although it wouldn't be of much use to those shameless black and green-skinned people, but it would still greatly boost the morale and public support of his own side.

"Alright!" Yun Feng nodded. The proclamation was mainly for his own people to see. After all, even if the Kingdom of Lagrang declared it, they wouldn't know. Besides, whether they declared it or not, in the end, everyone would still have to rely on their fists. After all, there was no United Nations or International Court of Justice in the Central Plains.

"So, which forces are you going to declare war on?" Yun Feng asked. Although their target here was the army of Dolgoth, a proclamation had to be written in a splendid and powerful way to fool... no! To inspire the people!
"Declare war on them all! Dolgoth! Gombard! Mordor! Dovenian... every single one of them! Today I'm going to be the enemy of all evil in the world!" Roland sneered. After all, who among those who played Mount & Blade: Middle-earth or other war strategy games hadn't been a "King of Declaring War" by declaring war on everyone? Regardless of whether they could win or not, they'd declare war first! Roland didn't believe that Sauron would actually send troops to attack him just because he said a few words.

"As you wish!" Yun Feng said respectfully, patting his chest. Now, not only the common people, but even Yun Feng and his group saw the divine radiance on Roland's face! This was a challenge to darkness with the power of an entire nation! He was practically comparable to the sages of Lagrange!

Roland waved his hand dismissively. This show of bravado was passable; even his own people were impressed! However, Roland knew his own people well; there must be a reason he dared to be so high-profile. After all, no one who did this normally was left. At this moment, the Chariot People were still holed up in the east. The Gombad Fortress and the undead were guarded by elves and dwarves. Sauron was busy gathering strength to return to Middle-earth and had no time to attend to others. Only the Orcs of Dolgoth, currently fighting the Star Elves, were like a group of unfortunate souls, not only suffering constant attacks from the Star Elves but also facing targeting from the Kingdom of Lagrange!

Soon, the proclamation that Roland had instructed Yunfeng to draft was completed. After Roland glanced at it and found no problems, he ordered people to post the notices. This caused the castle guards to run out in the middle of the night to post the notices.

"Awesome!" After a series of maneuvers, Roland realized that his current hostile combat status was at its maximum. One orc clan after another was hostile to him, while the Chariot People and the Dolgoths were in a state of hatred...

Roland was indifferent to this. What was there to fear from King Xuan of Qi? After all, King Xuan's highest level was to be an enemy of the world! However, strictly speaking, Roland had never seen such a headstrong King Xuan in the Lord of the Rings games… If we were to trace it back to the old witch of the Qing Dynasty in the real world, after all, she was the only one to declare war on all the Western powers! That was the true King Xuan… "Mission: Declaration of War Completed! Host has successfully declared war on both sides of the enemy. Congratulations on gaining 1000 Lagrange City Guards!" The system's long-awaited reward notification sounded.

"System, if you hadn't said anything today, I would have thought you were dead!" Roland was absolutely furious! After all, other people's systems give their protagonists an invincible template, while his system... could only be described as a person living under a template...

"Squeak!" The system's emotionless squeak made Roland's lips twitch.

“My dear, if we really have to fight, Lulong Fortress needs to be reinforced! After all, we can’t rely on the Swift Infantry!” Nyx said suddenly. As the queen, Nyx knew very well how much resources the kingdom had, which is why she said that.

"It seems we need to reinforce Lulong Fortress!" Roland's smile vanished. Without this great battle, Lulong's current strength would undoubtedly be an insurmountable barrier for the former Dolgodo orcs! However, with the orc army pressing in, Roland naturally dared not be careless. Even if Luke and Merck ran themselves ragged, and Renault played his cards perfectly, the entire fortress would probably be finished!

……

At this moment, Verway was in a state of utter confusion. After all, the centaurs they were staying with were loyal to King Roland, and if Roland really conscripted soldiers, the status of the grassland elves would be in a very awkward position... In a sense, Verway should also be loyal to the kingdom, since the land beneath his feet belonged to the kingdom...

While Verway was still worried that Roland's conscription of the elven people to join the war would turn them into cannon fodder, just as dawn was breaking, Renault received a proclamation from "King Xuan of Qi" Roland.

"..." Renault looked at the manifesto and smiled helplessly.

"What's wrong, General?" Luke and Merck asked tentatively, looking at Renault's wry smile.

"It's nothing, someone's just bluffing!" Renault shook his head. He had already gleaned a lot of useful information from the declaration, and Renault, who was familiar with the situation in Middle-earth, knew all too well that this declaration of war was nothing more than a show...

(Roland: What show? You're slandering me out of thin air! Did I do that to show off? I did it for the troop type rewarded by the system!)

Graduation season is busy with job interviews, so updates will be irregular. Please understand, as a job is very important...
