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

"Is it over?" Roland asked, looking at Carlos and Ajax who had come together.

“Yes, it’s over, but it’s just the beginning!” Caslo nodded and then shook his head.

"..." Roland sighed and shrugged.

When the clash of the forbidden spells ended, the orc army was thrown into chaos. The corpses of orcs and ogres piled up on top of each other. The orcs, suffering heavy casualties, were completely shattered. Under the Yanfu Space, even the descent of the Beast God could not completely protect them. The remaining spatial power, like a sharp sword, shredded every orc it encountered. The wind, compressed to its extreme, also cut wildly, and flames swept across the land...

If it weren't for the final phantom of the Beast God embracing the totem pole and working together to shatter Yan Fu's space, probably very few orcs would have been able to leave this land alive.

That's right! Yan Fu Space was shattered! The Great Forbidden Spell, which originally still had room for attack, was forcibly dispelled and destroyed after the Beast God, who was also a Great Forbidden Spell, descended and absorbed the power of the Forbidden Spell!

"What is the casualty situation at Lulong Fortress?" Roland asked, forcing himself to be cautious, after all, the number of casualties in Jiliu City was truly shocking.

“There were no casualties, but many people will need a long recovery period!” Omske suddenly appeared from behind.

"Oh ho? The great hero is back?" Roland crossed his arms and looked at Omske with a half-smile.

"Hehe, Your Highness, you flatter me..." Omske smiled ingratiatingly. He knew his own situation best; he was the one who had been most negligent in this war... If he hadn't realized something was wrong and rushed back at the last minute, he would probably still be wandering downstream of the Swift River even after the Lulong Fortress had fallen!

"Bang!" To everyone's surprise, Roland slammed his fist on the table and roared.

"This is the vanguard you've put in charge of? Letting the main orc force go to intercept the smaller foes? Oh! Right, you haven't even cleaned up the smaller foes! We also cleared out some wolf rider units these past few days!"

"An accident...an accident..." Omske lowered his head and smiled sheepishly, looking incredibly comical.

"You're really surprised!" Roland gritted his teeth. Heaven knows how furious Roland and Reno were when the orc army suddenly appeared on their faces. They felt like tearing Omske to pieces!

“What’s the difference between fighting and fighting? We can’t stop them anyway. Even if we take precautions, we’ll still have to fight them head-on. Didn’t we manage to backstab them once this time?” Omsk reassured Roland.

"Heh!" Roland spat, his face dark. He hadn't expected that Omsk, a hero, would have such a low moral compass. He used to be such an honest person, but now he's learned to be shameless.

"Get lost!" "Alright!" Omske felt like he had been granted a pardon and immediately ran away, disappearing from Roland's sight in less than two seconds.

"You two have worked hard this time. As I said before, I will definitely hold a grand wedding for you after this war is over!" After giving Omske a stern lecture, Roland turned his attention to the MVPs of this battle. This couple had been fighting from morning till night, from start to finish! They were truly the hardest-working people in the first total war in the North!

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Caslo immediately bowed and patted his chest in gratitude in one smooth motion, showing he was a seasoned two-faced turtle. As for why it wasn't Boiling Sheep? Well, at least Caslo got his way! What right does Boiling Sheep, who pushes Pleasant Goat, have to compare himself to a two-faced turtle?
Ajax nodded subtly. Although she didn't say anything, it was clear that she was quite willing. After all, the dragon rider family was the most suitable match for dragon riders. Besides, the Casloan was handsome and had a nice voice. What more could a young girl in love ask for? Riding a dragon is super cool!
"By the way! How's it going in Iovia?" Roland looked at Ajax, since she had been interacting with the Ringwraiths there.

"The situation is alright. The orcs of Dolgodor haven't left Dolgodor Fortress since they were ambushed by the Star Elves at night. All that's left is the Ringwraiths and Iovia's high-level battles!" Ajax tilted her head and thought for a moment.

The orc army had originally set out from Dolgodor, but Iovia, along with Peter Gro and a thousand Tier 3 mid-level rangers, ended up as the sixth man in the dark forest. This time, they truly learned what it meant to be a child of the Star Goddess, a darling of nature, and a mere dog of the forest! Arrows rained down from all directions, making it difficult for the orcs to advance. The Ringwraiths, who tried to intervene, were stopped by Iovia and Peter Gro. In the brief encounter with the Star Dragon, which was unleashing its full firepower without maintaining any protective barrier, they nearly crippled Lydalias, Cernar, and Khammur, among the Ringwraiths… Did they really think I was a flying lizard just because the dragon wasn't showing its power?

It's easy to imagine what the orcs encountered in the darkness when the Ringwraiths were unable to intervene. Their already arduous march came to an abrupt halt after Ajax arrived. When Renoir's massive dragon body and scorching aura swept over them, the Ringwraiths, without a word, led their orc army into Dol Gordor...

Then the Orcs of Dolgoth began to stagnate, stubbornly remaining within Dolgoth and refusing to emerge. The Nazghunrs, on the other hand, were quite active, engaging in several skirmishes, each time destroying a lot of vegetation. Eventually, both sides grew tired of fighting and simply settled into a stalemate, allowing Ajax to spare resources to reinforce Lulong Fortress. (Overall, the Nazghunrs of Dolgoth harmed the Nazghunrs of Mordor; had they not stagnated, the Orc army of Mordor would never have been hit by the Great Forbidden Spell.)

"The situation is much better now. The crisis on both fronts has been resolved! In summary, we basically fought the orcs to a draw this time, neither gaining an advantage nor suffering a loss." Roland smiled. Although the annihilation reward was probably out of the question, it was still quite good to have achieved this result under such circumstances!
"System, settle the mission rewards!" Roland estimated that he had finished the mission, so he said to the system.

"Ding! Mission reward changed! You have simultaneously defeated the Orc armies of Dolgoth and Mordor in the south! Congratulations on obtaining the Royal Mage Order of Lagrange, Tier 3 Mage Squad *1!"

Roland's eyes lit up. He preferred 10 Tier 3 mages to 500 Battanian archers! But before he could finish his excitement, new news arrived.

"Your soldiers have successfully annihilated the Steel Fangs' tank civilians on the swift river! Congratulations on obtaining 100 Dovenian Heavy Swordsmen!"

"Huh?" Roland was taken aback by this inexplicably appearing battlefield. When did a battlefield appear in the East? Was this a fourth battlefield that had inexplicably opened up? And a complete annihilation? How could they annihilate them? With words?

"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Caslo and Ajax were taken aback when they saw Roland suddenly scream, thinking he had gone crazy.

"It's nothing! I'll be quiet for a bit, you two can go now!" Roland waved them away before carefully recalling what had happened. It seemed he had a reward of a thousand-man squad of Lagrange City Guards that was still on its way, and then he got a small squad of dragon knights from a sign-in, which the system then distributed to... Alright! Case solved! These two together inexplicably created a huge mess for Roland. The specific results would be known once they returned to their base.

However, the sudden acquisition of the rarest spellcasting units was enough to excite Roland for a long time. Compared to them, this group of Dovenian heavy swordsmen was like an extra. After all, how could a tin can compare to the noble mages?
