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

Chapter 684 The Tooth-Aching Battle Losses (with Data)
"Be careful on the defenses tonight, and make sure the night watch is in place!" Ismir said, looking at the slowly closing gate behind him. Although they were far from the heart of the forest, they shouldn't forget that they also had access to a water source! It wasn't just wild beasts that came to drink; all sorts of strange magical beasts also came. From the time Windhelm was built until the walls were completed, it had been plagued by attacks from wild beasts and magical beasts.

Many wild beasts and magical creatures were probably just passing by, but the war-torn Windhelm didn't care about such things and attacked and drove them away directly!
“Alright!” Ymir nodded and shouldered her greatsword.

……

"Glug glug!" The thick soup simmering in the big pot has begun to boil and bubble. It contains venison, cassava chunks, and some seasonal vegetables. The soup is glistening with oil. When you sprinkle in some precious salt and a handful of wild scallions, the aroma instantly rises.

"Hey! Don't get excited, kid!" Ismir grabbed the noisy child in front of him and carried him away from the fire.

"Whose child is this? Come and claim him!" Ismir pressed his shoulder and looked around.

"I'm sorry, my lord! My child was ignorant and offended you! Please forgive him!" Before long, a thin woman squeezed out from the crowd and looked at Ismir with tears in her eyes.

"Hehehe! Don't cry, I don't intend to punish him. He's just a child. I just hope you can keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get burned by the fire!" Ismir was at his wit's end. The woman's crying caught him off guard, but he quickly recovered and spoke up.

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately expressed her deepest gratitude and took the child away. Her tearful expression of gratitude made Ismir feel quite uncomfortable.

"Sir, dinner is ready!" Haro, accompanied by several robust women, brought over a few baskets filled with slices of black bread. The freshly heated bread was still quite soft and, when paired with hot soup, wouldn't be too difficult to swallow.

"Come on! Line up! Line up! One by one! Everyone gets a turn!" Ismir shouted, and the soldiers behind him consciously spread out to maintain order.

The soldiers dispersed the crowd and lined them up. Everyone, in their families, held wooden bowls and anxiously awaited the distribution of food—something unimaginable in the villages of the past! Where would they find so much food to fill their stomachs?
In fact, for a period of time the previous year, a food surplus led to the residents of Rapid City switching from black bread to white bread! However, as the population increased, food became scarce again, and the simple-minded Lagranges picked up the black bread they had abandoned without complaint.

As the food was distributed, the entire town of Windhelm was filled with the atmosphere of life. The sounds of adults chatting and children playing after they had eaten their fill mingled together, tightly gathered together by the sturdy walls.

……

At this moment, Roland was still studying the system's territory interface. After all, Apophis Breo had really suffered a huge loss this time! The militia suffered heavy casualties! It was no less tragic than the Battle of Swiftstream City.

Grassland Elves: 100 (Tier 2)

Population: 56991 (12769 civilians who can be trained)
Evaluation: The lonely king led his surviving people back to their homeland and built this city with high walls. The city has a considerable population, giving it a more vibrant and lively atmosphere. Everything is developing in a positive direction. The city's military strength is formidable, capable of protecting itself even in the face of a large-scale attack. The city has its own vassal territories and appears to be thriving! Note: There is a gap in soldier training, and a lack of training capabilities for awakening professional skills.

Abilities: 1. As the only city of the Lagrange Kingdom in Middle-earth, she will attract the remnants of Lagrange. The system will guide a group of wandering Lagrange civilians to her city every day, hoping that the lord can properly settle them.

2. Allow the recruitment of local civilians to train swift infantry.

3. The administrative center of the Lagrange Kingdom; the people of Lagrange will receive a faith bonus when they are in the city.

II. Tupte Territory (Villages):
Buildings: Well, Wall, Lord's Hall, 20 Houses.

Lord: Baron Baldr
People: 349

Assessment: One of the few centaurs in Middle-earth, they are grateful for King Roland Lagrange's kindness and serve him. Note: Although these centaurs are formidable fighters, their small population size makes them less effective in large-scale battles.

III. Lulong Fortress:
Area: One kilometer in radius.

Buildings: 8 Dragon Towers, 100 Heavy Crossbow Towers, Super Magic Rune Walls, War Inscriptions...

Evaluation: This is the last proof of the Empire's existence! Beneath the towering Lulong Fortress lie the remains of orcs, the bones of black knights piled high, evil spirits perished here, darkness buried their bones here, the dark walls are stained with the blood of the Dark Alliance, the entire fortress sits atop a mountain of corpses!
Note: This fortress, which has survived a major battle, is now riddled with holes and needs repair in many places. Fortunately, the powerful kingdom's soldiers have repelled the formidable enemy!
IV. Delwin (town)
Area: 500 meters in radius
Buildings: wooden and stone city walls, basic arrow towers, ordinary houses, wells, taverns...

Population: 1814 (897 civilians can be trained)
Evaluation: A small town primarily based on agriculture, full of vitality, with commerce beginning to revive here, and the neighboring Tupte territory can provide excellent support and assistance.

V. King's Landing Family Fief: King's Landing Lionlands

Knights of the Empire: 16 (one Tier 3, 15 Tier 2)
Valiant Warriors (ordinary soldiers): 307.

Population: 4312.

Evaluation: A competent pioneering nobleman who built a castle and then a simple fortress, thus gaining initial control over the territory and gradually increasing the kingdom's control over this land.

Note: The war almost destroyed the territory under its rule, and the young and able-bodied militia suffered heavy casualties, reducing the entire territory's ability to withstand risks to a minimum!

VI. Palembang

Lagrange City Guards: 100

Population: 8000.

Commentary: The king's foresight is admirable; one should not harbor malicious intentions, but one must be wary of others! This city bears the heavy responsibility of being a waterway hub and a bridgehead for containing Western countries! Although the population has not yet fully migrated, it already shows a promising future!

VII. Windhelm Town
slightly.

Overall Assessment: A thriving kingdom. Despite the turbulent surroundings, the resilient people of Lagrange tenaciously defend this ancient land, and their king continues to protect what little remains! This war-torn kingdom once again demonstrates its formidable strength! (Suggestion: The kingdom urgently needs more land and people to rebuild. The Eastern Barbarians occupy Dovenian in the east, and the Orcs in the south are entrenched in Dolgod! The ruins of Lagrange still await the king's restoration...) Note: The kingdom is currently engaged in excessive military expansion!

Roland felt a toothache just from looking at it. Everything else was fine, but the current situation of Lion Territory was a real headache. They were almost crippled by Apophis Breo in one battle, and that was only after they resisted for a whole night with the help of the elven and dwarven alliance... Roland looked at Apophis Breo with pity in his eyes, hoping that this war would not damage his confidence.

After all, the casualties of thousands of militiamen plus the deaths of nearly half of the main force soldiers were enough to break any nobleman. Now, Apophis Breo was facing a situation where he could not even relax with the simplest of relaxation by his own soldiers. Fortunately, under Roland's persuasion (and under his PUA), Lind led the elven soldiers to stay, which allowed Apophis Breo to stop worrying about the huge gap.

"I'll summarize the resources when I get back and allocate some to you! Please understand, the kingdom isn't doing well either!" Roland shook his head, after all, he still had a huge food shortage, but he could help with equipment and weapons.
