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

Chapter 148 Black Knight

"By the Dragon God! I really don't understand why the Star Elves would attack those orcs!" Roland was extremely troubled. Everyone had already fought two bloody battles in winter and was now licking their wounds when the Singree elves launched a silent attack on Dolgodor without saying a word. As a result, they were directly attacked by the lord Khammur. Even if Iovia died, he would never have known that there were sixth-tier combatants in Dolgodor!

"I guess the Star Elves want to take advantage of the Orcs' weakened state to completely eliminate this destabilizing factor. Singri and Dolgodo aren't far apart, and the Star Elves' hatred for the Orcs isn't something that just started today!" Omsk sighed as he rode his Abyss Warhorse, lamenting the Star Elves' recklessness.

"Perhaps. Iovia's fate is unknown, but we can't afford to lose Singrei. We already lack allies, and we must preserve this precious fighting force!" Roland expressed his determination to rush to Singrei's aid. If Singrei falls, the remaining Star Elves will surely flee this place, and Roland and the others will lose this elven ally.

"Hey hey hey! Such a big thing happened and you didn't even tell me?" Verway, carrying a shimmering longbow and Manicati on his back, chased after us from behind.

"Hey! I've been chasing you for ages! Why did you guys leave so fast? Why didn't you call me? I'm a sixth-tier hunter, for goodness' sake, right?" Verway said, panting. He was, after all, a sixth-tier hunter, a mid-tier fighter even if not the absolute best, yet he'd been completely forgotten...

"..." Roland.

“…” Omsk.

"I'm sorry, I really forgot about you..." Roland's face flushed slightly. He had successfully forgotten about a certain undeserving Elf King, and the most embarrassing thing was that someone had come knocking on his door...

"Never mind, huh? By the way, why didn't you bring more people?" Verway looked at the group of people around Roland and felt amused.

"That's all? Is there a problem?" Roland asked, puzzled.

"This number of people? Are you going on a picnic? Or are you just going to cheer them on from the sidelines?" Verway looked at the people around Roland with some helplessness. 350 soldiers seemed like a drop in the ocean!
"What? You mean I'm slacking off? Please, these are already the best soldiers in Swiftstream City. We're just supporting Singray, not rescuing them. They still have the strength to fight back and defend themselves. Whether Iovia is dead or alive, at least Peter Gro is still alive. Even a Black Hero would have to take notice of a Dragon Knight! What Singray needs right now isn't soldiers, but high-end combat power!" Roland analyzed. He was only bringing reinforcements to give the people of Singray confidence, not to actually fight a full-scale war for the Star Elves. He needed to be responsible to the kingdom's subjects and Nyx! Of course, if the territory of the Kingdom of Lagrange was attacked, Roland would not only mobilize a large army but also summon the kingdom's vassals to lead troops to the king's aid!
"Oh, then I should be considered high-end combat power!" Verway scratched his head.

"Good heavens, have you no shame..." Roland felt a chill run down his spine as he watched this sixth-tier hunter showing off in front of him, a third-tier great knight.

"Hehehe, anyway, I'm already at Rank 6!" Verway said smugly. Although Manicati changed his attributes, he successfully reached Rank 6... It was such a good deal!
"I shouldn't have traveled with you!" Roland said, his face darkening, as he quickly rode away from Verwy. ...

"Did you find it?" a hoarse, low voice asked.

“My lord… we have lost track of him…” Several orcs knelt on the ground and said obediently, trembling with fear.

"Useless!" the owner of the voice shouted, and then a plume of black smoke enveloped the orcs. A few seconds later, several puffs of ashes scattered around proved that there had been life here.

"Elf King..." roared the man in black bone armor. A long, narrow wound on his left shoulder was incredibly conspicuous, because in the dark forest, the wound even reflected a silvery-blue starlight!
The injured one was none other than Khamur, the current lord of Dolgodor! After Azog's death, he took over the power here and became a lord. In a recent battle, he successfully ambushed an Elf King. The Elf King dodged his fatal blow with his strange skills and movements. Although he was seriously injured, he was still able to counterattack, which resulted in the wound on Khamur's shoulder. The characteristics of the Star Battle Qi made it difficult to erase, and it continued to cling to Khamur's wound, tormenting him.

"Send more men! Find him! He's badly wounded!" Kehamur roared.

The orcs behind him scurried away from Khammur, fearing that this capricious demon would kill them.

"The Elf King is a very good prey! I'll soak my longsword in his blood! But this dragon is definitely in the way!" Khamur's hoarse voice was as terrifying as the depths of hell. He stared at the star barrier, which resembled an inverted bowl, and waved for the orc army to be on alert. Several had escaped from there last time; he wondered if they had gone to seek reinforcements! A chill crept onto Khamur's face. If reinforcements broke through their encirclement and these star elves escaped, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face for him!

Khamur, with the remaining 20,000-odd men of Dolgodo, fiercely guarded the roads around Singari, determined to annihilate the elven race and make them history! Unfortunately, he was unaware that over 2,000 elven professionals within Singari were already capable of fighting his unevenly matched orc army to the death. Peter Gro, riding his Star Dragon, could also engage Khamur in one-on-one combat. Meanwhile, Thranduil, the Elven King of the Northern Woodlands Kingdom, was personally leading 3000 elven soldiers, marching day and night from the Woodlands Kingdom. Irubo had also dispatched 500 dwarven warriors along with 100 soldiers from the Vale Kingdom to Singari. The Whitewing King of the Kingdom of Akvia had also sent an army of 200 men under the command of the Grand Knight Maple Leaf Purple. Roland had also long ago led two Tier 6 warriors and 350 all-professional soldiers south… In short, once the allied forces joined forces… Khamur could simply start over.

"Speed ​​up! We need to get there as soon as possible! The Star Elves need us! No matter how many of us go, our arrival will give them hope!" Roland urged the troops on. He knew that if a city was besieged for a long time, morale would plummet to an unbelievable level. By providing strong support while the Star Elves were still in a desperate situation, they could restore their confidence and hope! However, this was tough on the Lagrange Royal Guards, who carried tower shields and wore heavy armor. But they were the elite of the elite, and their strong physiques could still support their rapid march. With the various buffs from Roland's paladins, they barely managed not to fall behind.

"Iovia, you're a real bastard! You caused all this trouble and I have to clean up your mess! I hope you don't die!" Roland cursed inwardly, but quickened the pace of his whipping.
