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

Chapter 813 A Magnanimous Emperor (with Data)
While the nobles on the two western borders of the kingdom were stirring up trouble, the eastern city of Lagrange, which was being personally suppressed by Roland, remained calm.

According to news from Swiftstream, Roland, taking a "whatever happens, happens" approach, shared the battle situation and intelligence with the other allied nations of the Lonely Mountain Alliance. Everyone else was fine; the River Valley and the Kingdom of Akvia were shocked by the power of the Kingdom of Lagrange. Thranduil remained noncommittal. Only Thorin felt embarrassed for himself and his brother Dain. According to the alliance, they were supposed to fulfill their obligation to resist the enemy from the north, and even if they couldn't, they should have notified the other kingdoms. However, due to the delay in intelligence, this unexpected situation occurred, so Thorin was very embarrassed. He promised on Dain's behalf that he would compensate the Kingdom of Lagrange, but what kind of compensation was still under consideration.

Roland hadn't expected the dwarves to be so straightforward. To be honest, this matter really didn't concern them much, since they had been traveling south along the Red River, a place that was a long way from the Kingdom of Lagrang. Who would have thought that the Kingdom of Lagrang would suddenly conquer their old capital...

Roland was happy to accept this offer. Although the dwarves didn't have to take the blame, he was glad they had to. After all, the dwarves had plenty of good stuff, and rather than letting it go to waste and be seized by the orcs, it was better to arm Lagrang first. As for the dwarves' Black Arrow, our great Comrade Caslo was the most qualified to speak on this matter...

(Caslow: I've spent my whole life fighting Black Arrow. Do you think I can ever get to the other side?)

The kingdom's infrastructure construction is proceeding smoothly. It is said that the Swift Flow Avenue (Imperial Avenue) has already reached the area where the Northern Crossing Fortress once stood, and is now being advanced towards the original site of Pingnan City. Meanwhile, at the original site of Longya Fortress, Vladivostok is leading a thousand Lagrange City Guards to help twenty thousand civilians build the city, and it looks quite impressive.

"System, check the territory panel!" After browsing the daily shop, Roland realized he had five honor points left that he couldn't spend, so he decided to check the development of his territory.

Main Quest: Establishment of the Twelve Cities of Swiftflow! (Random Top-Tier Legion *1)

Overall Assessment: A thriving kingdom, its surroundings have been pacified and stabilized. The resilient people of Lagrange still tenaciously defend this ancient land, and their king has reclaimed the old capital! Vast tracts of land have been recovered! The kingdom urgently needs numerous cities to consolidate its territory!
Note: The Kingdom of Lagrange firmly holds sway over the North through its military hegemony, and its noble expansionist territories have successfully penetrated various parts of the North. The shadow of darkness in the North has been suppressed to the extreme under the king's brilliance! The king, brimming with martial virtue, seems eager to do something that will go down in history!
"It's already the year 2950 of the Third Age! Time waits for no one!" Roland, who had been feeling smug about the kingdom's rapid development, suddenly felt disheartened upon seeing the current year! The reason was simple: in 2951 of the Third Age, Sauron was going to rebuild the Black Tower! With that old fox re-erecting that mage tower, taking the Black Gate would be a distant dream. If that was just a long-term concern, then immediate worries were fast approaching! In 2952 of the Third Age, Aragorn, whom Roland considered a real liability, was going to come to Romanian to cause trouble… really! This guy truly annoyed Roland. After all, honestly, if it weren't for the plot, how could Aragorn possibly become King of Men? Denethor II was such an excellent monarch! Yet he was portrayed like a clown…

“I’m 25 years old…” Roland spread his hands and looked at the snow-covered earth. He suddenly had a feeling of what year it was. He had been in the Middle-earth for nine years without realizing it. He had deeply integrated into this world. Here were the people he loved, the homeland he wanted to protect, and his people.

"Come on, all of you! Let me see what you're made of! I'm not afraid of you! Dragon's Breath will tell you the answer!" Roland looked south and suddenly slammed his fist on the city wall.

"I suspect His Majesty is an idiot?" Fenglin Shulan, who was playing on the city wall not far away, whispered to Fenglin Xilan.

“How come you see?”

"Doesn't his hand hurt when he smashes rocks?"

"..." Roland's ears twitched, and his face immediately fell. Dragon Knights have top-notch hearing and eyesight, you know! Saying that is no different than whispering in someone's ear...

"..." After seeing Roland's body stiffen, Zhuiguang awkwardly turned his head away and didn't look at him at all.

"Weiss? Are you free?" Roland's voice was gentle yet penetrating. Weiss, who was brushing scales on Vili not far away, paused upon hearing this.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Weiss looked up.

“Caslo has gone out on patrol, so you have to shoulder the responsibility of an elder brother! Aren’t you going to take the two of them to training? Are you just letting them play around?” Roland, with his broad-mindedness, said calmly.

"Huh?" Weiss was taken aback. This was clearly Caslo's job! He was still a newbie! Taking care of the two of them? Weiss just wanted to say he wasn't worthy; he'd only just escaped the ranks of a rookie dragon rider…

"What do you mean 'oh'? These two girls are having too much fun. Why don't you take them out to train them a bit? If all else fails, let them go find that guy Zi Lian and get to know him better!" Roland said casually.

"..." Following the two girls, Huanghunlong Zhuiguang felt his head spinning. Wasn't it just asking for trouble to say these things in front of the "magnanimous" Emperor? Mainly, he didn't want to face Zilian; that guy kept calling people traitors and wicked children—nobody could stand that...
