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

Chapter 608 It takes no effort at all

"Ouch!" To everyone's astonishment, Roland's legs buckled and he knelt down in a deep bow. He only managed to stay upright by holding on to the Ten Thousand Dragons Chant. However, the weight of the Ten Thousand Dragons Chant felt like a thousand pounds in his hands!
"Roar!" Kurt swung his neck and dragged Roland and Doss back. He was the first to notice the abnormality; that terrifying attack had most likely turned the man and the dragon into dried-up corpses...

"No...nobody told me...this thing has such a strong aftereffect!" Roland lay on the ground, panting. He hadn't felt it when the Thousand Dragons Chant was draining his power, but the aftereffects hit him instantly after that spear strike! Roland could only say, "This artifact is really something else! No reaction when it's draining my power, the effects only show after I've used it!"
“Artifacts aren’t so easy to wield!” Kurt said to Roland as he breathed out a dragon’s breath to stop the orc trying to sneak up on him.

At this moment, Kurt's voice and Osbayar's voice overlapped in Roland's ears. He now understood what Osbayar meant by "you might not be able to control that divine artifact!" The fully unsealed Ten Thousand Dragons Chant had drained him of all his power, leaving him only able to swing a spear...

"We might not be able to stop these two!" Dos Anthony said breathlessly. As a fourth-tier dragon knight leading a group of dragon-type magical beasts, he simply couldn't stop these two sixth-tier orcs. Moreover, most of the dragons were severely injured, and almost all the earth dragons had lost their fighting ability. These earth dragons all broke away from the battle and fled for their lives. After all, they had already fulfilled their duty to fight for the emperor, and the instinct for survival suppressed their bloodline dominance!

"There are still six dragons!" Roland forced himself to sit up. He tried to count the dragons flying in the sky. Clearly, six dragons in poor condition could not hold off the two desperate orcs.

"Forget it, if it's really not going to work out, then don't force it!" Roland said to Dos Anthony, after all, safety is the most important thing, and the dragons in the sky are all covered in wounds at the moment.

"Boom!" After swinging his axe-spear, Dos Anthony retreated. Seeing that the encirclement was getting thinner and thinner, the two sixth-level orcs desperately dispersed the entangled dragons and broke away from the battle.

"Roar!" The dragons' sharp cries echoed through the sky, and soon they dispersed. Without Doss's leadership and restraint, the dragons naturally did not linger.

"What a pity!" Doss's regretful voice echoed in Roland's mind. He never expected that the sixth-tier orcs would be so tough! Even a group of dragons couldn't overwhelm them!
This is actually because most of those dragons are high-level magical beasts, which is not much different from a fourth-tier professional. The fact that they were able to besiege them for so long is a testament to the power of their dragon blood!
"Forget it, killing two is already quite an achievement!" Roland had come to terms with it. After all, looking around his territory, apart from Dos Anthony and his pair whose fighting strength was comparable to theirs, the others were just making up for their lack of quality with sheer numbers.

"Your Highness, we should return as soon as possible. I imagine the rest of the kingdom must be worried sick!" Dos Anthony landed on his horse, Kurt. He had been on high alert for a while, making sure the two orcs were far away and wouldn't come back before landing to pick up Roland.

In fact, Dos Anthony's worries were completely unnecessary. Those two orcs had barely escaped, so how could they possibly come back?

"Your Highness, are you able to leave now?" Dos Anthony asked with concern. After all, Roland's move was very cool, but the price was also quite high! It directly weakened the opponent!

"Hmm! No problem!" Roland, leaning on his Dragon Slayer Sword, came to the corpse of the Orc King and beheaded it with a single strike! Due to the spasmodic reaction, its upper body even twitched a few times.

"Pah! You poor wretch!" Roland spat fiercely. This king didn't even have a single valuable thing on him!

Roland had misunderstood the Orc King. As the king of the Orc Kingdom in the Misty Mountains (there were quite a few Orc Kingdoms in the Misty Mountains, after all, many tribes had their own kings!), he did have some resources. As the king of the Northern Kingdom, he had quite a few life-saving tools, but they had all been used up during the dragon siege! As for their wealth, it was naturally buried underground with the fall of the kingdom!
"Let's go!" Roland withdrew his Thousand Dragons Chant, sheathed the Dragon Slayer Sword at his waist, scooped up Doss, and climbed onto Kurt's back. Given Roland's bloodline and Doss's status, Kurt naturally wouldn't object, and he carried the two of them and the dragon into the sky.

"Something's wrong! What's that high-energy battle ahead?" Kurt leaned forward, leading everyone to drift diagonally downwards, as flying close to the ground made it easier to hide. "It's a dragon! I can sense dragon power!" Kurt suddenly exclaimed.

"It's Dragon's Might! Two dragons!" Dos Anthony turned to look at Roland, his fear undisguised. After all, if the other wild dragons discovered Roland's contract with Dos, Roland would surely be killed by them!
"Take a detour!" Roland was also shocked. His current clandestine relationship with Doss made him shudder whenever he encountered other dragons.

"They've found me! They're calling for my help?" Kurt turned to look at Dos Anthony.

Dos Anthony looked at Roland, his eyes full of questions.

"They're Dragon Riders! Two Dragon Riders! One a fire dragon and the other a wind dragon! They seem to be fighting against a sixth-tier combatant! That's right! They're the two orcs who just ran away!" Kurt's voice came again.

"Hmm?" Roland, who was originally about to run away, felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing this, and his desire to escape instantly subsided.

“They should be on our side. Let’s go and help them!” Roland said confidently. With two dragon riders, one a wind dragon and the other a fire dragon, Roland estimated that only Caslo and Ajax could handle them in Middle-earth. If it wasn’t them, then Roland could only accept his fate.

……

"Boom!" The blazing dragon breath ignited a forest, and Renoir's dragon language magic filled the sky.

"Damn it! Kill them!" Ajax roared in grief.

"Die!" Compared to Ajax, Caslo was much more concise. He directly charged down with his dragon spear, the huge impact almost knocking the earth-type overlord into the ground.

Langdor and the Overlord were truly unfortunate. They had barely escaped the dragons' pursuit when they encountered Caslo and Ajax, who were tracking them based on the massive energy fluctuations from their previous battle. They hadn't intended to deal with the two sixth-tier orcs; their only goal was to find Roland, dead or alive! But as soon as they approached, before Ajax and Caslo could even react, Renoir and Kaldor clearly felt the burning heat of the Kingslayer's Curse emanating from Langdor!
This is outrageous! After searching for days, the real culprit was right here! The Kingslayer's Curse must have been working because Roland must have met with some misfortune! Without a word, Caslo and Ajax went into battle like madmen. Losing Roland was their responsibility, along with Omske's, and now that they'd encountered their lord's killer, they were naturally filled with rage! It was truly a case of "searching high and low without finding it, only to have it fall into their laps without any effort!"
……

"Sister?" Dos Anthony exclaimed, staring at Ajax, who was chasing after the orcs like a madwoman.

"Doss?" Ajax, who was attacking, looked up in surprise when she heard her brother's voice.
