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

Chapter 750 Weiss Returns
"Cough cough!" A glint flashed in Caslo's narrowed eyes, and then he pretended to be dying, coughing a few times in a very convincing manner.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Renault was also amazed. He had to admit that a tree without bark will surely die, and a person without shame is invincible!

"Caslo, are you... alright? How could you be so careless?" Ajax, who had been so aggressive, saw the half-dead man on the bed and the dumbfounded Renault standing to the side as soon as she entered. Her anger quickly dissipated, and her grievances and rage turned into heartache. She took Caslo's hand and said with tears in her eyes.

"I...I'm fine, I'm sorry, Madam, I made you worry...cough cough! I'm alright, for the sake of the kingdom...cough cough!" Caslo, looking weak, shakily reached out his hand as if to touch Ajax's face, then his hand fell limply, and he began to breathe heavily.

"Damn it! Damn it..." Renault almost ground his back teeth to powder. He could study this little expression for two lifetimes. How come he never realized this kid was such a good actor before?

"Not a guy! Sis! He..." Dos Anthony, who was following behind, stared wide-eyed, completely losing control of his expression. This guy has two faces?
"Shut up! Can't you see how badly he's injured? Get out!" Ajax suddenly turned around and hissed.

"Pfft!" Caslo used his battle qi to force out a mouthful of reversed blood at the right moment, making sure to play his part completely.

"I...he!" Dos Anthony pointed at Caslow, his eyes wide. This guy was jumping around even more than me before you arrived! Dos Anthony was practically on the verge of talking...

"I'm leaving now, so as not to disturb General Caslo's recovery..." Renault wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, indicating that he couldn't take it anymore, or he would burst out laughing if he didn't leave soon.

"Don't worry, he's fine. He just needs to rest and recover!" Renault said, leaving without looking back as he walked to the door.

"What? You want me to invite you?" Ajax's eyes glared at Dos Anthony, the murderous aura she exuded almost causing Caslow, who was pretending to be crazy on the bed, to give himself away.

"..." Dos Anthony's face turned red with anger, and he finally flung his clothes aside and left.

"Alright, there are no outsiders here now. You've worked hard this time." Ajax gently slipped her hand under the covers, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Awooo!" Caslo jumped three feet high in the air under Ajax's teasing gaze.

"What? You're not going to act anymore? You were just coughing up blood and about to pass out, how come you're all lively and energetic again now? A medical miracle? I'm not a priest or a paladin!" Ajax's face was full of amusement.

"Ahem! An accident, an accident. I was just annoyed by Doss..." Caslo lowered his head and raised his eyes, trying to get away with it by being cute.

"Keep acting, keep acting, who can outact you?" Ajax's eyes were slightly red.

"Are apprentices really that important?" Ajax suddenly asked as the atmosphere fell silent.

"No, Madam, please let me explain..." Caslo frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart. "I know you're thinking of the next generation of the kingdom, so why don't you think of me?" Ajax's voice was already trembling with tears. Hearing this, Caslo's head throbbed; his worst fears had come true.

"Do you know how dangerous you are? The letter Doss reported to Swiftstream City broke my heart! Do you know who you are? You are my husband! The father of our future child! Have you ever thought about this family?" Ajax's tears fell in a steady stream.

“I know there will be danger, but I’m confident that the Ringwraith won’t have a chance to kill me at that distance and space. But if I don’t make a move, Whis is definitely going to die! If it were His Highness, he would do the same thing, even if he were injured, especially since he’s a Dragon Knight!” Caslo actually tried to reason with Ajax.

"So you're not a dragon knight? You'd sacrifice the life of a dragon knight in his prime for a dragon knight who hasn't even grown up yet? Do you think King Roland has lost his mind?" Ajax sneered.

In fact, her judgment was quite accurate. Roland certainly wouldn't trade a dragon rider for a dragon knight who hadn't even grown up yet. Upon receiving Dos Antony's report, Roland was immediately terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat and his legs went weak! Fortunately, fate was kind to Roland. The Third Ringwraith, Cernar, betrayed him. Otherwise, if he had been surrounded by four Ringwraiths, not only would Whis be in danger, but Reno and Caslo would probably have had to be sacrificed to fill the gap. The only one who could guarantee a safe escape was Dos Antony, who was floating outside.

"I was wrong!" Caslo sighed helplessly. Well, there's no point in reasoning with a woman. He could only pull Ajax into his arms and gently comfort her. With Caslo's pats, Ajax buried her face in his chest and burst into tears.

……

"...Ouch!" Renault, who was listening to the noise outside the door, tiptoed back and bumped into Dos Anthony, who was in the same position as him. Startled and speechless, Renault was immediately covered by Dos Anthony and dragged aside.

"I didn't realize you had this much free time, General!" Dos Anthony said in a sarcastic tone, clicking his tongue in surprise.

"Come on, you've been listening to amusement for just as long as I have! If you're so capable, why don't I go talk to Ajax? She can't do anything to me, but you... tsk tsk tsk!" Reno crossed his arms, glanced at Dos Anthony, and let out a villainous laugh.

"..." Dos Anthony's face turned green. He had to admit that what Renault said made perfect sense. Ajax eating, drinking, and beating up her younger brother were just casual things for her. What he feared most was that the fourth-tier dragon knight Dos Anthony couldn't defeat the fifth-tier dragon knight general Ajax Anthony, and the thunder dragon Kurt was no match for the blazing fire dragon Renault. He was completely suppressed from human to dragon, plus the ancestral bloodline suppression... Tsk tsk tsk! This was going to be a miserable experience!
……

"Clang clang clang!" The alarm bell of Lulong Fortress suddenly rang, and Renault, who had been chatting with Dos Anthony, abruptly looked up.

"What happened?" Renault leaped into the watchtower atop the main castle and grabbed the sentry.

"Dragon! A dragon is coming!" The sentry climbed down from the Eye of the Faraway (a magical telescope) and pointed shakily at the distant horizon. Two dragon riders had already taken off above Lulong Fortress and were intercepting the dragon in the direction it was coming from.

"...Open your damn eyes wide! That's Weiss! Our dragon knight! I told you to pay attention! How come you can't even tell the kingdom's dragon knights?" Renault grabbed the Eye of the Far View, took a closer look, and then jumped down, kicking each of the sentries.
