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

Chapter 734 Go See Blood
"A regular orc army? They can actually organize a regular army?" Renault was completely dumbfounded. Logically speaking, Dolgodor had been decimated like that. Renault had participated in a series of wars against Dolgodor since Roland's arrival in Middle-earth, and he knew all too well the terrible losses Dolgodor had suffered. How could they still muster a large orc army? Were they out of their minds? Did they really think the elves of the Golden Forest across the Anduin River were dead?
"Did they bring the body over?" Renault asked, his eyes filled with confusion.

“Of course, right here!” Anthony Doss gestured.

……

"Tsk? What's going on? No clan insignia? Those sons of bitches from Mordor are reinforcing this place again, aren't they!" Renault muttered helplessly after examining the corpses. The absence of the clan emblems he recognized meant that these orcs weren't the Dorgon orcs he knew. It was obvious where they came from...

“That’s right! A fully armed regular orc army wandering around the kingdom doesn’t fit our defensive strategy, so General Renault! I suggest we report to the king and request reinforcements to wipe out these orcs! Otherwise, the frontier territory—Windhelm Town—might be gone in the blink of an eye.” Anthony Doss said solemnly.

Renault didn't refute him, because he knew how destructive a fully armed orc regular army could be! They were beasts that could charge against the current and go against the current of the Swift Infantry! Apart from being crushed by the Knights, these fearless orc regular armies would be no match for the dwarves, who had the strongest heavy infantry, in open field battles with their infantry in the wilderness without any fortifications. They would have to watch their losses and cry as they went back to Turin.

"Doesn't the kingdom have a newly recruited dragon knight? I think Caslo would be interested in this orc army! What a perfect training target!" Renault suddenly smiled, realizing he had fallen into a strange thought trap. Why should the Kingdom of Lagrange want to fight you? Wouldn't it be better to just use dragon riders to clean up the mess?
“You mean Weiss? That kid is only 14 years old... and he hasn’t even learned any systematic air combat knowledge!” Anthony Doss frowned subconsciously.

"It's alright. You and Caslo will keep an eye on him. I'll bring the infantry to cover for you!" Renault thought for a moment. Two dragon riders protecting one dragon knight shouldn't be a problem, right? Plus, he'd lead the ground troops to hold back the orc army. Actually, the main thing was to prevent the orcs from using black arrows as cannon fodder. The infantry's role was to prevent the orcs from setting up heavy crossbows! After all, a crossbow that could fire black arrows couldn't be small.

“That should be fine!” Anthony Doss nodded in approval of Renault’s arrangement. There is no perfect plan on the battlefield, but Renault had made perfect arrangements. Dragon knights are never hothouse flowers. If he can’t even pass this test, then this dragon knight is useless and can only be used as a mascot.

……

"Snapped!"

"Keep your wrist steady! What kind of move is that?" With a crisp sound, the iron dragon spear in Weiss's hand fell to the ground, and Caslo immediately scolded him. Weiss rubbed his wrist in grievance, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.

"What kind of look is that? You're going to fly up into the sky and tell the enemy you can't hold your dragon spear steady? This is just the most basic iron spear! The dragon spears made with rare metals will be much heavier later!" Caslo lectured. Although Weiss's system was very weak, like he was malnourished, these things could be made up for later. He was still growing, but Caslo still wanted to lay a good foundation for him. Otherwise, if the dragon knight couldn't even hold his dragon spear steady, wouldn't that be quite a disaster?
"Again!" Caslo picked up the dragon spear that had fallen to the ground and threw it into Weiss's arms. Weiss instinctively caught the dragon spear and picked it up.

"You're not even steady on foot, let alone in the air! One collision and you'll be knocked down!" Caslo shook his head and instructed. "Grip the spear! Remember, you can never let go of the Dragon Spear! Unless your other hand is already drawing the Dragon Slayer Sword!" Caslo deftly twirled the Dragon Spear in his hand before continuing to train Weiss.

"Caslo! His Highness is looking for you. Please bring your disciple along as well!" The leisurely old man Adile said casually as he rode past the two on a tall warhorse.

"Thank you for your trouble, I'll be right there!" Caslo respectfully watched Adile leave, then packed up the training equipment with Weiss and headed for the castle.

……

"Your Highness? What is it?" Caslo asked in a low voice, looking at the crowd gathered together.

"Oh? The main character has arrived? Perfect timing! Come, come, come over and give us your advice!" Roland warmly greeted Caslo and Weiss.

"The orcs, for some reason, suddenly sent a regular army to Lord Ismir's doorstep. They failed in their attempt to raid the place, and the scouts were captured by Lord Ismir! It's certain that the orcs have reinforced their troops, and Mordor's heavy infantry has replenished Dolgodor's supplies! The orc clan that appeared this time is not the clan we know!" Yunfeng explained.

“So your little apprentice is in luck! A regular orc army is just right for him to practice with. This army is deep in enemy territory, which will give Weiss some training!” Roland said to Caslo.

"Isn't it a bit dangerous to send him to the battlefield so early?" Caslo asked with some concern. After all, wasn't a fully-fledged orc regular army too advanced for a novice?
“You go with him, and your brother-in-law Anthony Doss will also be there to back him up! Renault will bring the Dovenian heavy swordsmen and rangers to keep him occupied on the ground. If that doesn’t work, then your apprentice is truly ruined!” Roland shook his head and told him about Renault’s plan.

“That’s acceptable!” Caslo nodded without asking Weiss’s opinion. Weiss also stood obediently to the side, listening to everyone’s conversation, without showing any intention of objecting. He knew that this was a step he had to take!
"Take these magic scrolls! They're full of high-level defensive spells that trigger on the enemy's defenses. Keep them to save your life!" Yun Feng tossed three scrolls to Weiss. These were meant to be his backup plan, a trump card in case someone managed to take him down in one fell swoop.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Yunfeng!" Weiss immediately expressed his gratitude sweetly. A gift from a sixth-tier sage was truly delightful! Look at his extraordinary generosity—three high-value magic scrolls in one go! Most importantly, they provided automatic defense!
"Don't die out there. It's normal to have an accident the first time you go out and see blood. This thing is to save your life, but don't be reckless just because you have a scroll! Many attacks can bypass the magic scroll and kill you before it can be unfurled!" Yun Feng said solemnly. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. Even if you have a forbidden spell scroll, you'll still die if you can't cast it!
