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

"..." Actually, it wasn't just the Lagrangians who were furious at this moment; even Uvasa was momentarily dazed. In his plan, he only wanted to exchange some ordinary human soldiers with this human kingdom. But when Uvasa saw the pile of heavy cavalry corpses, he seemed to feel the sweat pouring down his back again. It wasn't that he regretted killing these human cavalrymen, but rather that he was simply terrified by the fleeting aura of a dragon in the distant city. Even if he had eight more lives, he wouldn't dare to slaughter soldiers indiscriminately in front of the kingdom's two dragon knights!
Uvasa has misunderstood. The real dragon knights are still in the Dark Forest, offering friendly assistance to the Star Elves. It's Roland, that third-rate dragon knight, who's actually there. (Doss: You dare to curse again? Come on! Invite your ancestors to possess you!)
According to the established rules of battle in Middle-earth, it's king against king, general against general! For high-ranking warriors to attack ordinary soldiers or lower-ranking warriors is considered a provocation and contempt, and such actions are seen as an irreconcilable feud! Unless you can wipe out the other side in one fell swoop, the grudge is sealed! Although the Ringwraiths and the Alliance are inherently mortal enemies, Uvasar is worried not about the future, but about the present!
"Ha..." Uvasa roared, successfully attracting Caslo's attention. Caslo, who had been calming himself, and his dragon took to the sky again, adjusting their positions to prepare for a "just duel" between samurai with Uvasa.

"Whoosh!" The space flashed.

To the utter astonishment of Caslo, Yunfeng, and the others, Uvasa ran away... Yes, the once arrogant Uvasa had quietly departed, just as quietly as he had arrived, leaving only a spatial ripple.

"Damn it! There's another Tier 6! And another Dragon Rider!" Uvasa scurried through space, congratulating himself on his cleverness. In his mind, the three-timid Dragon Rider Roland King and the veteran hero Adile were both considered fresh troops joining the battle...

This is outrageous! The Ringwraiths may be a bit crazy, but they're not stupid! What kind of Ringwraith with a screw loose would take on two dragon riders and three Tier 6 warriors head-on? When Kaslow appeared, Uvasar was already prepared to run away at any moment, but when he sensed the new dragon's aura and the pressure of the Tier 6 warriors, he immediately lost the courage to drag things out.

Thinking that he would have to run away soon, Uvasa disappeared without a word or even a greeting.

Uvasa: I'm outta here...

Roland: ...

Caslow: ...

Everyone:...

After a brief silence, the battlefield erupted into chaos once more as the enraged Royal Guards unleashed the power of the continent's premier heavy infantry! Their wielding spears, crackling with battle aura and blazing with fire, pierced through several orcs like skewers of candied hawthorn. A sudden slam of a heavy shield smashed through an orc's skull, splattering brains and blood across the Royal Guards. Undeterred, the Royal Guards simply stepped over the orc corpses and continued their pursuit of the leaderless horde. When a spear became stuck in an orc's bone, the bloodthirsty guards released the handle, casually drawing their longswords and resuming their hunt. The convenience of the longswords even seemed to increase their killing efficiency…

"Kill!" King Whitewing led his army and charged forward with Ruhr. The infantry, who had formed a battle formation, smashed the orcs' fleeing soldiers, leaving them bloodied and battered. Many orcs who tried to break through their lines and escape fell dead under their attack. These Akvia Kingdom infantrymen, who carried short bows, could also act as archers when necessary.

The fleeing orcs were shot down by archers, those who charged were killed by the infantry, and any who escaped were chased down and slaughtered by the caravan's mercenary knights. Without the protection of the Ringwraiths and the territory of the high-ranking orcs, the orcs' combat efficiency and willpower were simply appalling... (Uvasa's spatial rift slash wiped out the high-ranking orcs of this army in one fell swoop).
"Chase down those orcs! Don't let them escape!" Having successfully blocked the orc camp's entrance, the Whitewing King immediately ordered the Kadan light cavalry to begin pursuing the fleeing orcs. Of course, the orcs couldn't go far, after all, having nothing left, they couldn't survive more than a few nights in the Northern Territory...

Soon, the orc camp was ablaze, and the allied forces, setting fires everywhere, tried to force the orcs hiding there out. Of course, if they didn't come out, they could choose to be cremated.

……

"..." Roland, riding on horseback, began to twitch at the corner of his eye.

"Alas~" Roland sighed helplessly. The people are gone, what can be done? The deed is done, and the Kingdom of Lagrang has no way to perform large-scale resurrection magic. They can only watch as these brave young men of Lagrang perish. "Your Highness..." Ravian, who had already woken up, looked at Roland with a face full of guilt. After all, this was the army he had led out, and he needed to take responsibility for the sacrifice of these soldiers.

"Forget it, everyone did their best. What war doesn't kill people?" Roland laughed self-deprecatingly, his face full of pain. In the end, he was too arrogant. The fact that there hadn't been a large-scale war for a long time made Roland subconsciously forget that his soldiers were not made of iron. They were flesh and blood, they could bleed, they could be injured, and they could die!

"The second army to be completely annihilated!" Roland's heart bled. If the Swiftwater Infantry's decision to go against the tide at the Battle of Lonely Mountain was an insurmountable obstacle, then today's events were entirely avoidable. If only he had ridden Dos into battle... those cavalry wouldn't have needed to penetrate deep into enemy territory and wouldn't have perished alongside those orcs. If he had let Radil and Verwy attack the orcs together...

"Find Uvasa! Whoever kills him will be made a marquis!" Roland narrowed his eyes, his killing intent chilling, and his cold tone startled even Yun Feng, who had been by his side for a long time.

"Okay." Yun Feng, whose face was a little pale, nodded. Although this was just an empty promise from Roland to vent his anger and resentment, after all, not to mention that you can't kill that bastard Uvasa now, you can't even catch him. Even if someone really got lucky and killed that thing, you would still need something to seal it away, right? Are you going to give a marquisate to a wasteland with no towns or people?
So even though Yunfeng knew Roland was just talking nonsense, he still agreed and said he would issue a notice to offer a reward for that bastard Uvasa as soon as he got back, not for anything else, but just to appease his king.

"Yes, Uvasa ran away, but these bastards can't get away!" Roland nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with Yun Feng's cooperation this time.

"Let someone come out and retrieve the remains of the warriors..." Roland's tone turned somber as he glanced at the bodies of the heavy cavalrymen.

"It's already arranged!" Yun Feng nodded. Before accompanying Roland out, he had already arranged for able-bodied men to prepare to clean up the battlefield. Yun Feng didn't want another plague because of the corpses.

“These orcs can’t escape! The Kadan cavalry will be the last nightmare of their miserable lives!” Whitewing whispered as he rode up to Roland’s side.

"Hello, White Wing King! May you be well! Thank you for coming to our aid!" Roland greeted him with a hand gesture to his chest.

"Greetings, King Roland! May you be well! No need to be so polite, it is the duty of an ally!" White Wing shook his head.

"No matter what, we won! Didn't we?" Seeing the atmosphere was a bit somber, Bai Yi quickly put on a smile to ease the tension.

“Yes, it was a Pyrrhic victory…” Roland sighed.

That's it, I'm done for, I'm doomed.
