Chapter 862 Reserve Dragon Knights (Data Available)
“Your Majesty, the last news from our men was that Aragorn and the Elven prince Legolas had arrived in the territory of the Beorn, and our men stopped following them after that.” Darion Nightblade emerged from the light.

"News from the Hidden Guards?" Roland raised his eyelids slightly.

“It’s news from King’s Landing!” Darian Nightblade said, bowing his head.

“That’s true, Apophis Breo’s intelligence organization was established even earlier than ours,” Roland said, somewhat amused.

“…” Darian Nightblade pursed his lips, somewhat embarrassed and unsure how to respond, after all, the Duke of King's Landing's intelligence network had indeed been established early on.

"So, those two have disappeared again?" Roland looked up, smiled, and asked Darian Nightblade.

“Your Majesty, you said there was no need to rush, so the people of King’s Landing didn’t keep a close watch. So now we can only confirm that they’ve entered the Dark Forest,” Darion Nightblade said somewhat awkwardly. The King’s Landing guards only watched them for a short while. After they left King’s Landing’s territory, all of the King’s Landing spies went back. If only Darion Nightblade had left two of them to keep track.

“It’s alright, so what if we lose them? The North isn’t that big, where could they possibly go? Keep an eye on the Kingdom of Akvia; I have a feeling Aragorn’s destination is Lagran!” Roland suddenly thought of something and shook his head helplessly. Roland simply couldn’t believe that Aragorn, who was wandering the entire Mirkwood and the North, wouldn’t stop by Lagran. Having learned about his origins, Aragorn already harbored ambitions of becoming king. He was currently consolidating and accumulating experience, as evidenced by his appointments in both Gondor and Rohan. He was cultivating his political abilities and strategic vision. As the best possible solution for Middle-earth at present, Aragorn would definitely come to emulate him, just like Denezor II!

“Okay.” Darian Nightblade wiped the sweat from his brow. Fortunately, King Roland didn’t blame him. After all, he was in charge of the Hidden Guards, and intelligence was their job. Now, in their area of ​​expertise, they had completely failed, which was quite embarrassing.

"By the way, what about those reserve dragon knights?" Roland suddenly looked up and asked. He suddenly remembered that this was the first big shipment he had made in a long time—10 reserve dragon knights in training and a dragon knight instructor! After these people were selected, Roland casually handed them over to his subordinates for arrangements, since they were going to be in Swiftstream City rather than Lagrange City.

“They have selected suitable dragons and are currently getting used to riding them! It will probably take some time before they can form combat capabilities…” Darian Nightblade thought for a moment and didn’t speak too definitively. Then he relaxed. Although the foreign intelligence network was terrible, the domestic intelligence network was still acceptable, and the various intelligence information was organized in a fairly detailed manner.

"Alright, tell Yunfeng and the others not to rush things. The kingdom isn't particularly lacking in air power right now, so there's no need to hastily train dragon knights! I need elites, not cannon fodder!" Roland waved his hand. While dragon knights aren't as valuable as dragon knights, they're not disposable either. Knights are relatively easy to replenish, but dragons are truly difficult to obtain! Roland doesn't currently have a dragon ranch to provide him with a continuous supply of dragons. Joel's group of dragons is his only dragon resource. Excluding the mother dragons and young dragons, it's barely enough to equip this small squad of dragon knights!

"System! Open the territory panel!" Roland tapped the table without speaking. Darian Nightblade didn't understand Roland's meaning and could only stand quietly to the side, while Roland's eyes had already drifted to the system in front of him.

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!
"Is this new dragon knight instructor named Nogai?" Roland suddenly asked.

“Your Majesty has a good memory. His name is Nogai. He’s in Swiftstream City right now. Should we summon him to come and pay his respects?” Darian Nightblade asked.
