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

Chapter 97 Establishment of the Chicken Farm

"Renault, send all the conscripted light infantry to garrison the plantation," Roland said to Renault after thinking for a moment. After all, conscripting light infantry was no longer keeping up with Roland's pace. In the future, Roland's army would be mainly composed of swift infantry, supplemented by professional troops. Light infantry with weak combat capabilities really could not handle tasks with too high intensity. In comparison, guarding a region was more suitable for them.

"Yes!" Renault replied and turned to leave.

"Hmm, I think I still have a chicken farm that I haven't placed yet." Roland suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering that he seemed to have another building that he hadn't materialized.

"Chicken Farm: Covering 10 acres, containing 100 novice magical beasts—Snowwing Chickens! Note: Snowwing Chickens can fly, and the farm contains anti-flying magic!"

"Good heavens! A low-level magical beast!" Roland exclaimed in surprise. Although it was only a low-level magical beast, a magical beast was still a magical beast. Its life level was incomparable to that of ordinary wild beasts. Eating their flesh and blood could greatly increase one's own energy, accelerate cultivation speed, and make it easier to advance in rank.

"How about... we ask Yunfeng to help take care of them?" Roland thought to himself. Anyway, he was farming and raising chickens, so why not do both at the same time?
……

"Sage Yunfeng!" Roland returned and found Yunfeng bent over, digging in the dirt.

At this moment, he was carefully planting a blood-red plant with an enchanted shovel engraved with intricate patterns. The plant had nine blood-red beads on it and its leaves were dark blue. The plant, which was as tall as an arm, gave Roland a sacred feeling.

"What is this? It seems like you're taking better care of it than you are of yourself," Roland joked.

"Don't underestimate this thing! It's very precious! It might be the last one in the world!" Yun Feng's expression changed instantly, his cold face full of displeasure.

"Ahem, that's not what I meant." Roland quickly apologized, agreeing with whatever the big shot said.

"This magical herb is called Nine-Bead Rejuvenating Orchid!" Yun Feng said irritably, seeing Roland's seemingly attentive expression.

"What are its effects?" Roland asked curiously.

"It's the main ingredient in the resurrection potion!" Yun Feng glanced at it deeply, his eyes full of profound meaning.

"Holy crap! Resurrection potions really exist?" Roland jumped up. He never expected that a mythical potion that could revive the dead in the game actually existed in reality!
"Of course! Although I only have a 1% chance of making it, it really exists!" Yun Feng said calmly.

Roland's gaze towards Yun Feng instantly changed! This is a walking treasure! A ruthless person who can even create resurrection potions! He needs to be kept close watch; he'll give her whatever she wants! He absolutely cannot let anyone steal her away! Roland discovered that as his level increased, the characters summoned by the system became less obedient. Firstly, his strength wasn't enough to earn their respect; they obeyed him only because he was currently carrying the banner of Lagrange. Few were truly captivated by his personal charisma; otherwise, there wouldn't have been the scene of Renault contradicting him on Lonely Mountain. Secondly, once their strength reached a certain level, they didn't have much reverence for royal authority. This is easily understood; with their superior strength, where in the world couldn't they go? Why should they listen to his orders?

"Alright, Your Highness, is there something you need to do upon returning?" Yun Feng asked casually without even looking up, since Roland wouldn't come back for no reason. "There's a sealed magical ranch here that needs your care!" Roland said after thinking for a moment.

"A magic ranch? The Lagrange Empire actually left behind such a wonderful thing? Let me see you build it next to the plantation!" Yun Feng immediately became interested upon hearing this. The knowledgeable sage was very happy to do this kind of work that could increase his knowledge.

"System! Manifest the chicken farm!" Roland murmured.

"Buzz!" A flash of white light appeared, and countless profound magical runes flew out from the void. Elements that had been drifting between heaven and earth were gathered together, forming low walls, pens, chicken coops, sheds, and pastures... Then, powerful magical arrays enveloped the entire chicken farm, and a faint, transparent light shield covered the area. Then, the space opened up, and snow-winged chickens with white wings and gray bodies flapped their wings and flew out, immediately soaring into the sky, trying to escape the area. Unfortunately, they were gently intercepted by the light shield in the sky, and no matter how much they flapped their wings, they couldn't fly away.

"A low-level magical beast, the Snowwing Chicken? Not bad, not bad at all! 10 males and 90 females! You're really lucky that this sealed magical beast ranch was passed down to you! Although it was just a country baron's ranch during the empire's heyday, it's still quite remarkable that it's been passed down to this day. I've done some research along the way and found that the current level of magic is simply too low. Let alone raising dragons and griffins! We can't even raise these kinds of meat-producing magical beasts!" Yun Feng complained. He never expected the current level of magic to be so poor.

Roland broke out in a cold sweat. Indeed! The era you exist in is the Fifth Era! We're only in the Third Era now! If the system hadn't altered their memories, they would have been in real trouble!
"Wait a minute? A country baron? I only deserve the treatment of a baron?" Roland's eyes widened in disbelief! He was actually living the same life as a baron in the Lagrange Empire?
“Your Highness, to be honest, you may not be living as well as the barons in the countryside during the empire’s most glorious period. At least their castles and populations would make you tremble with fear! Although I don’t know how you manage to maintain such a powerful and large army, especially the Knights, with such a small population!” Yun Feng’s eyes showed curiosity.

"They are all wandering tribesmen who came to join me at my call!" Roland said irritably.

"No wonder, you shouldn't be able to support such a large army! Food is a problem, and I don't seem to see any farmland outside the city?" Yun Feng added mercilessly.

“Swiftstream City has just been built... everything needs to be perfected!” Roland explained with a dark face.

"I see. No wonder your castle, as king, is so shabby! But it seems to be full of supplies. Where do you live?" Yunfeng asked, full of curiosity.

"Your Excellency seems to have misused your mental power for detection... You are forbidden from using your mental power to explore the palace area in the future!" Roland roared, his face dark. You don't hit someone in the face, and you don't insult someone by exposing their weaknesses! You've got it all covered!

"Um...sorry, it's a professional habit...I subconsciously check things out." Yun Feng scratched his head awkwardly.

"Coo coo coo!" Suddenly a female snowwing chicken let out a soft call, and a snow-white egg rolled out from under her.

"Holy crap! An egg?" Roland's mouth watered the moment he saw the snow-white egg. Eating bread, wild vegetables, and cured meat every day couldn't go on! He hadn't seen any fresh eggs in ages.

After casually taking the egg, Roland left Yunfeng's place with satisfaction, ready to find a place to enjoy this long-awaited fresh egg!
