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

Chapter 611 No? Where's my money?

"Check-in successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 500 tons of wheat flour!" The system does not deliver any goods as usual.

Roland wasn't angry, though; he was used to it... and besides, it was precious food. Being someone who only cared about getting something useful, Roland readily accepted it. After all, this was better than the sac for his offspring and the oversized eye patch from last time! Although Roland and Nyx could use those two things... what use were they to Roland? Everyone was pressuring Roland to have an heir; how could he possibly use those things? Moreover, even without Nyx, Roland's belly showed no signs of pregnancy, which even made Roland wonder if either of them had some unspeakable problem. However, after the elven dragon Smurf used nature magic to examine them, apart from Roland being slightly weak, the two were perfectly healthy! (Roland: How could someone who's been partying all night not be weak?)
"What kind of junk is in this system warehouse?" Roland looked through his system inventory, which was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual things in an infinitely large space.

"Huh?" Roland accidentally clicked on the shop interface. Looking at the special offers that had appeared in the shop today, he glanced at them a few times and lost interest. After all, some ordinary professional units no longer aroused his interest.

"Hmm? Something's not right!" Roland returned to the shop interface again because he noticed something amiss.

"Ah!" A shrill scream rang out.

"I..." Caslo and Cardo shuddered and almost fell off the sky.

"Your Highness?" Caslo quickly turned his head in mid-air to look at Roland behind him.

"Sorry... I had a nightmare!" Roland quickly made an excuse to make up for his behavior.

"No? What about my wealth points? What about all my wealth points?" After dismissing Caslo, Roland immersed his consciousness in the system space and began to argue with the system.

"Data loss occurred during the system update!" The system's voice was utterly devoid of warmth.

"No... me! Shouldn't you compensate me in some way? I almost died! Not only did you not give me a reward, but you also reduced my wealth points to zero!" Roland said through gritted teeth.

"Vulnerability detected, fixing it!" The system's voice sounded slightly embarrassed.

"What about my money after you've repaired it?" Roland blinked. That was the hard-earned money he had risked his life to fight in the Lonely Mountain and Moria!
"Sorry, the data has been lost..." the system apologized.

"Compensation mechanism is being updated..."

“Geneva! Pay up!” Roland said matter-of-factly.

Geneva! Pay up!

"Stop playing dead! Geneva! Give me my money back!"

Roland was so angry he was jumping up and down, but it was no use. The system went into a silent state and pretended to be dead.

"Fuck your dam!" Roland cursed, his anger reaching its peak. He felt like a poor, struggling worker who had finally saved up some money and deposited it in the bank, only to have it embezzled by bank employees, with the bank then claiming they would take responsibility...

……

"Your Highness..." Yun Feng bowed his head respectfully and looked at Nyx, who was dressed in military uniform.

"Is the army assembled?" Nyx asked calmly, but Yunfeng knew that beneath her calm exterior lay a fury powerful enough to overthrow the Northern Territory.

“Isn’t this a bit inappropriate, after all…” Yun Feng said cautiously, not wanting to offend Nyx.

“No buts. King Roland was last seen in the Misty Mountains… So it is your duty to wipe out all the dark forces in the Misty Mountains!” Nyx calmly toyed with the staff in her hand. She used secret magic to locate Roland’s last position and found that Roland was last seen in the northern part of the Misty Mountains. Now that Roland’s location is known, all the dark forces in the Misty Mountains are going to suffer.

Since they didn't know who the culprit was, they simply pushed through. Yun Feng knew that Nyx, who was still relatively calm at the moment, was on the verge of madness!
Because Nyx had actually ordered the entire army to be assembled! Nearly 9000 troops were gathered at Lulong Fortress. According to Nyx's plan, this army, enough to change the landscape of the North, would cross the Swiftflow River, pass through Old Forest Road, cross the Anduin River at Karl Rock Ferry, and enter Lionheart Lands, then sweep through the entire Northern Misty Mountains! However, what Yunfeng didn't know was that the heartbroken Nyx had another thought hidden in her heart that she hadn't told anyone. She blamed Roland's death on Duke Apophis Breo, the current patriarch of House Lionheart in King's Landing. She would strip Apophis Breo of his title. "My husband died mysteriously trying to save you, and you still want to sit comfortably in that position?"
"Prepare for the army to march!" Nyx said calmly, gazing northwards.

“Shouldn’t we leave some troops behind in the kingdom…” Yun Feng said somewhat awkwardly, since if they left, the entire Kingdom of Lagrang would be left in a vacuum.

“The kingdom’s enemies will not make any moves for now! Those adventurers are enough to maintain the safety of the surrounding area!” Nyx shook his head.

Yun Feng was stunned. So the Queen wasn't planning to live anymore? Yun Feng carefully examined Queen Nyx and realized that she might really be determined to die, or perhaps Nyx, who was already in despair, wanted to take everyone and Roland down with her.

"Please wait a moment, the Knights led by Omske are still on their way..." Yun Feng said in a low voice.

“Alright, let everyone take a break first!” Nyx nodded.

……

"The Queen has gone mad!" Yun Feng suddenly appeared beside Omske and dragged him to a corner.

"Damn it! You scared me to death!" Omske slapped Yunfeng's hand away.

“King Roland is dead! Queen Nyx is right to raise the whole nation’s army to avenge him, but the problem is that she is no longer in her right mind!” Yun Feng said, pulling Omske back as he was about to leave.

“We cannot disobey His Highness’s will!” Omske shook his head.

“But we cannot watch the Queen destroy the territory that King Roland has worked so hard to conquer! The kingdom has just been rebuilt…” Yunfeng said firmly, looking at Omske.

"As subjects, we can only obey orders! Loyalty is our duty!" Omske said calmly.

“We have all tried to persuade the Queen, but we have all failed… So let us serve the Kingdom!” Omske said with a touch of sadness as he looked at the dragon flag flying over Lulong Fortress.

"We still have a choice!" Yun Feng gritted her teeth as if she had made a difficult decision.

"Swoosh!" The sound of a longsword being drawn rang out.

Yun Feng and Omske were startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Renault holding a longsword pointed at Yun Feng's chest.

"Do you even know what you're talking about?!" Renault growled.

Noble matters need not be so explicitly stated. King Roland is dead in battle, Queen Nyx is incompetent... so the only option Yunfeng mentioned is none other than Duke Apophis Breo of the Lion House, who reigns supreme! He also possesses royal blood and is related to the royal family by blood!
"Are we just going to stand by and watch the kingdom descend into chaos and collapse? Do you know who will guarantee the safety of the tens of thousands of people under the kingdom's rule if we send out these 9000 troops?" Yun Feng gritted his teeth.

"You madman! This is betrayal!" Ravian, as the most loyal general to Nyx, also drew his sword and pointed it at Yunfeng.

"Child! Calm down! Put down the sword!" Adile swiftly placed the sword on Ravian's shoulder, clearly showing his support for Yunfeng.

"Um... I suggest everyone calm down!" Omsk waved his hand, looking somewhat at a loss as he gazed at the group of high-ranking generals of the kingdom, who were on the verge of drawing their swords.
