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

Chapter 892 Rescue Operation
"What?" Nyx of Swiftstream City and Roland of Lagrange City received the early warning intelligence from Lulong Fortress almost simultaneously. It proved that Lance and his men were indeed prescient! Of the intelligence sent out in a dispersed manner, one would inevitably end up on Roland and Nyx's desks! In fact, the magical carrier pigeons flying eastward were ultimately slightly slower than those flying towards Lulong Fortress, and this important intelligence was ultimately sent out by Lulong Fortress!

"Contact Roland and ask him how to handle this! If Lagrange City is short-handed, then send Reno and the Holy Knights to provide support!" Nyx quickly gave instructions after a few glances.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Yun Feng and Duke Joelster exchanged a glance and quickly left together. For Lance and the others in Pingnan City, time was of the essence!
"Your Majesty Yunfeng! Have Lady Ajax prepare for battle! Provide immediate support!" Before Yunfeng could even step out of the room, Nyx's voice rang out again.

"I'm afraid that won't work. The air power of Swiftstream City is weak, and the Dragon Riders cannot be moved lightly!" Yun Feng stopped and shook his head. Although the western territory is relatively safe, we cannot place our hopes on wishful thinking. As the only Dragon Rider in the western territory, Ajax's symbolic significance is more important than her combat power! After all, the king may not be able to bring a sense of security to the people, but the Dragon Riders certainly can!
“Let Lord Dos Anthony go! Even if we can’t defeat him, we can still protect ourselves!” Unlike Yun Feng’s directness, Joelsteria was more concerned about Nyx’s authority. He not only needed to consider the actual situation like Yun Feng, but also the political factors! How to maintain Nyx’s authority was also something he needed to consider. He couldn’t just let the Queen’s words go unheard, could he?
“…Alright! Be quick, notify me immediately if there’s any news from Roland!” Nyx pondered for a moment, understanding that not everything warranted mobilizing the Dragon Riders. Those weren’t cats or dogs to be summoned and dismissed at will. Besides, Lance’s plea for help wasn’t exactly urgent; he only needed clergy and troop support. Therefore, Nyx didn’t object to Joelsteria’s compromise suggestion! (Lance: I regret it! Who said it wasn’t serious? It’s extremely serious! It’s a matter of life and death!)

……

"Tsk tsk tsk! What's wrong with Lance? He's no good! He can handle a mere undead?" Roland commented calmly after receiving the call for help.

“Baron Lance used to be quite good! His abilities were excellent! Ordinary undead wouldn’t…” Caslo took the letter and read it. As the first nobleman in the kingdom to lead a cavalry expedition to the southern kingdom, Lance was certainly not as incompetent as Roland had jokingly described. Clearly, through this letter, Caslo, who was also an officer, saw something unusual!
"The past is the past! The present is the present! If you're bad, practice more!" Roland started casting a spell with zero frames of his hands!
“…” Darian Nightblade, whose figure had disappeared into the sunlight, couldn’t help but rub his head. He was used to it; after all, the king’s tantrums had been going on for a while now.

“We’re waiting for your reply in Swiftstream City! What is Your Majesty’s decision?” Adolf Heinrich pouted and waved to Roland, drawing Roland’s attention away from his wandering gaze.

"Let's provide the main support! Let Swiftstream City send a knightly order, and we'll send dragon knights too!" Roland jokingly called Lance a terrible cook, but his actions were anything but hesitant! After all, Roland had invested in the "Love Your People" skill tree! Besides, only those who have wronged you truly know how wronged you are! No one understands Lance's abilities and loyalty better than Roland!
They even called for reinforcements from their brother who commands a large army, so you can imagine he's really in trouble. Those skeletons must be giving Lance a real headache! Roland chuckled slyly and casually approved the reinforcements!
The western side of the Swift Stream Road is definitely better than the eastern side. After all, the hastily constructed projects in the east require further maintenance. Similarly, a knightly order from Swift Stream City would arrive much faster. Besides, if Roland remembers correctly, the Holy Light Knights are currently patrolling around Lulong Fortress. Knights can't afford to be complacent; knightly orders cooped up in cities will inevitably become useless! Do you really think the emperor spends all his time hunting with the Royal Knights for no reason? Firstly, it's a form of entertainment; secondly, it's to maintain the knights' military readiness. Letting them retire and stay in the city for half a year would turn a skilled archer and horseman into a parasite! It's also understandable that the dragon knights come from Lagrange City. After all, Lagrange City isn't big, and it's a place where legends can be created! Given the current prestige of the Lagrange Kingdom, a group of dragon knights cooped up in this small city is as incredible as Daiyu's night raid on Valinor or Sauron's snowy night ascent of Lonely Mountain! The sheer number is terrifying, but the quality...

“Right! Tie up that charlatan Charlie Pros and throw him over there! Let him preach to the undead…” Roland’s eyes darted around, and he suddenly thought of his own charlatan. He was just about to say that he would throw him into the army of the undead to teach him a lesson when Charlie Pros poked his head out the next second.

"What? There are spirits of the dead! I will represent the Dragon God to redeem them!" Charlie Pros rushed over excitedly, and without saying a word, he pushed aside Adolf Heinrich's hand and took Lance's letter of appeal for help.

"Huh? Another mutant? This isn't your average undead! We have to go all out!" Charlie Pros looked at it and then said righteously. "..." Roland's eye twitched. A cheerful little tune inexplicably rang in his mind, and then he seemed to hear the sound of the first Golden State Free Fighting Tournament starting.

"You seem to be going a bit too far!" Roland said, sounding a bit of a toothache.

"Loyalty!" Charlie Pros said devoutly, holding the holy book, his bald head shining with a holy golden light!

"His Majesty the Dragon God's kindness is never enough!" Charlie Pross murmured respectfully.

"..." Roland felt that this person could eat seaweed and egg drop soup, except that there were no vegetables or egg drop soup.

“Caslo, when you and Youlan leave, take this with you. He needs to dedicate his loyalty to the Dragon God!” Roland said with a dark face.

“Okay…” Caslo and Maple Forest Orchid exchanged a glance and both saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes. After all, the Kingdom of Lagrange had its own Florida, which had all kinds of talents!
……

"Hope Kingdom's reinforcements have already set off! Otherwise, tonight will be another long night!" Lance said worriedly.

“You’re dreaming again… This is Pingnan City! No one can get here in a day…” Ravian complained, but then he seemed to remember something and shut his mouth.

Waaaaah, I owe my readers chapters so many chapters, they're accumulating interest so fast I can't finish writing them all!
