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

Chapter 597 The Radiance of the Nine Commandments
After wrapping Roland's body and severed arm in cloth, Anthony Doss collected Roland's belongings. He carried Roland's body on his back and placed it on the dragon saddle, securing it in place. Kurt silently watched Anthony Doss's actions without saying a word.

Logically speaking, no one but a dragon knight can climb onto the back of a dragon. The dragon's back is a blind spot in the dragon's defenses. Climbing onto the dragon's back means absolute trust. Just like Caslo's storm dragon Kaldor, only Caslo, the dragon knight, and Roland, who helped him transform, could sit on his dragon saddle.

However, Roland was an exception for Kurt, after all, a fallen dragon knight was enough to earn the respect of all dragons.

“Let’s go! Let’s find out the whole story!” Anthony Doss’s eyes were bloodshot.

……

"Where is His Highness!" Yun Feng, her eyes bloodshot, grabbed Omske's neck guard and said coldly.

"Your Highness? Didn't you chase after Caslo and Ajax to support Apophis Breo? Didn't the Ringwraiths invade there?" Omske looked at Yunfeng, who had rushed over early in the morning acting crazy, with a bewildered expression.

"What's wrong?" Renault appeared in front of the two of them in a flash. After all, he wasn't blind. He could feel Yun Feng's strong sixth-level pressure from several miles away!

"Lord Renault, immediately activate the communication array to contact Lion Territory! Inquire about His Highness's situation!" Yun Feng didn't waste any words, staring at Renault with a grim expression, while still holding Omske in one hand.

“…Okay!” Renault sensed that something was off, but he didn’t say anything. He was about to turn around to notify the fortress control center when he saw Yun Feng rush over in a flash.

"I'll do it myself!" Only those words remained in the air, and Yun Feng's figure had long since vanished.

“What happened?” Renault asked, looking at Omsk.

"I don't know!" Omske spread his hands. Ever since Roland ran away, he had been working hard leading the knights to patrol from Palembang to Lulong Fortress, and had also cleared the roads along the way. As a result, he had just set up camp in the fortress and rested for half a night when Yun Feng rushed over and grabbed him, asking where His Highness was.
He was also curious to know where Roland had gone! But could he catch up with the Golden Dragon? However, with two dragon riders by his side, even if King Roland couldn't win, he'd probably run away!

"Go take a look!" Renault shook his head. Even Yun Feng, who rarely left his home, had come out. Things must not be simple.

"..." Omsk shrugged and followed Renault.

"Omske, you mother..."

As soon as Omske entered, he was struck in the face by Yunfeng's staff. His head buzzed, and judging from the crisp sound, it was a good start...

"What's wrong?" Renault stopped the agitated Yunfeng and asked.

"The two dragon riders are not with King Roland!" Yun Feng's face was extremely ugly.

"Tell me! Where did His Highness go?" Yun Feng rushed over and grabbed Omske.

"No... I don't know! He rode Doss to chase after Caslo and Ajax, and I couldn't catch up with the dragon knight..." Omske spread his hands innocently. How could a four-legged creature catch up with a two-winged creature?
"What exactly happened?" Renault, still confused, grabbed Yunfeng and asked.

"I don't know what happened either! I want to know what happened too! But! His Highness Nyx's Bauhinia pendant is broken! Do you understand!" Yun Feng slapped Renault's hand away.

"So..." Verway, who had been watching the drama unfold for a long time, was completely baffled.

"Soul binding! King Roland has fallen?" Renault staggered back a few steps in disbelief, then collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"So! Where is Roland? Can anyone tell me?!" Yun Feng looked around and said coldly, his eyes flashing with a chilling light that sent a chill down Omske's spine.

"Wait!" Omske suddenly realized the effect of the Bauhinia pendant. He stood up abruptly, staring at Yun Feng in shock. He pointed at Yun Feng, his finger trembling, unable to speak.

"Why are you pointing at me! I just want to ask you where King Roland went..." Yun Feng roared angrily.

“This…you! I…” Omsk stammered, waving his hands. The problem was, he didn’t know either.

"Roland has fallen?" Verway was shocked. This shouldn't be! He knew a thing or two about the strength of the Lagrange Kingdom. How could so many sixth-tier generals and dragon riders not be able to protect a king? It didn't make sense. Wasn't Roland supposed to have gone out with two dragon riders and Omske?
"Could there be a mistake?" Verway frowned. He had a feeling something was off. Maybe they were overthinking it. "The Bauhinia Flower of Love is broken. There's no way it could be wrong. It's a magical item that binds to a soul..." Yun Feng shook his head regretfully. He also hoped that he was wrong.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Renault cried out in disbelief, clutching his head and weeping uncontrollably.

"Stop crying... Let's find King Roland first..." Omske frowned, pondering where Roland might be.

"Search! Search! Search! What are we supposed to do with our search?!" Yun Feng roared angrily. They didn't even know where Roland was, so what were they supposed to do with searching...?

"Let's notify the two dragon riders first, and send all the air knights out to search!" Omske said with a grim expression. Now they could only use the brute force method to eliminate possibilities.

……

"does it worth?"

"Ugh~" Roland opened his eyes wearily. Before him was a chaotic scene except for a grand golden phantom.

"You are...Isn't I dead?" Roland was in a daze.

"Is it worth it?" the golden phantom asked as before.

"What's this about whether it's worth it or not? Death is death..." Roland shrugged, not knowing how his consciousness made that gesture.

"Was it really worth it? An elector fell in the wilderness, his life extinguished, unknown to anyone... unknown to anyone..." the golden phantom continued.

"Holy crap? Who are you? The system itself? Can you revive me?" Roland was getting increasingly agitated by the figure's words.

"Would you like to go back?" the golden phantom asked calmly.

"Go back? Go back where? To Earth to be a corporate slave?" Roland thought the system was really going to send him back to Earth, and he mentally complained. After all, he had been a king for so long, and going back to be a corporate slave was really hard to get used to. If that were the case, he might as well die...

“Go back to the one you love…” the golden phantom continued.

"Who are you? How can I get back? What is your purpose?" Roland was taken aback, first surprised and then puzzled, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Who am I? I am a soul that has long since passed away, a life that should not have existed in this world..." the golden phantom said with some emotion.

"As for how you'll get back? It's simple, the way back is right beside you..."

"Beside me?"

"When you held up those two knightly rings, did you ever wonder if the rings really only had the power you thought they possessed...?"

"Holy Rings? I only have the Rings of Glory and Mercy. What use are they, besides amplifying the Knights of Faith and skills?" Roland asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Do you know the origin of the Holy Ring?" the golden voice asked with a hint of amusement.

"I only know that the Lord of the Rings consists of the One Ring, the Three Rings for Elves, the Seven Rings for Dwarves, and the Nine Rings for Men... I really don't know about the Holy Rings..." A hint of ignorance flashed across Roland's face.

"Go back... go back to where you belong, King Romanian. As an elector, the throne is your final destination!" The golden phantom smiled.

"Buzz!" A golden light quietly emanated from Roland's corpse, shining brightly...
