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

Chapter 751 Five Years! (Development Data Included)
The final result was pleasing to everyone. Apart from a poor lord who was forced to abandon his territory and flee with his people, the war did not cause any major damage to the kingdom. As for the injured Caslo and Reno? Well, they won't die on the spot.

After receiving confirmation from Viss, Ismir, with a dark face, led his people across the Swift River to reclaim their territory. Although the land had not been destroyed by the war, the city's defenses were riddled with holes and looked as if they had been chewed by dogs.

"Where's Cernar?" Reno raised an eyebrow, after all, it was Weiss who came back alone.

"Lord Sernar is here!" Weiss puffed out his chest, and a set of ethereal silver armor quickly enveloped him.

"!" Renault suddenly stood up.

"!!!" Caslo also held his breath.

"How could that be? If he can't beat them, can't he just run away?" Caslo asked, puzzled.

"A Ringwraith died so hastily?" Dos Anthony frowned.

“Lord Dos Antony, I need to remind you! He is the esteemed holy hero His Majesty Thenar! Not the abhorrent Ringwraith you speak of! He is nothing but a pitiful man corrupted and fallen by the Ring!” Viss’s face hardened as he warned Dos Antony in a cold voice, while his hand on the Holy Sword slowly pushed it out a little.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing! Be quiet, you can continue!" Renault waved his hand to stop the argument and signal Weiss to continue.

……

"I see..." After hearing the story, Caslo looked at the holy sword in Weiss's hand and sighed. A corrupted paladin had finally regained his senses... This was more tragic than letting him sink into eternal depravity! This was the most painful punishment! He could clearly recall everything during his fall from grace. There was no crueler punishment than making a knight's hands stained with the blood of those he swore to protect!

"He shouldn't have woken up, it's too cruel!" Renault instantly understood the pain and torment in Cernar's heart. The excruciating pain that could tear the soul apart was tormenting Cernar. For him, living consciously was the greatest pain.

“It’s all over. Time to get back on track. The Ringwraiths will be quiet for a while. It’s time for the kingdom to rest! Disperse!” Ajax shook her head, turned around, mounted her dragon, and left Lulong Fortress.

……

October 1, 2949, Third Era.

"Today is truly a special day!" Roland sighed as he flipped through the office calendar, his gaze seemingly traveling through time and space back to Earth. He lowered his head and gave a wry smile.

"Oh? Today isn't Harvest Festival? Is there anything special about it?" Adolf Heinrich, unaware of the situation, was somewhat puzzled by Roland's whimsical remark.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!" Roland waved his hand without offering any further explanation.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore! It's so weird!" Adolf Heinrich raised his hands.

"Yunfeng! How are the preparations going? Is my army ready?" Roland confidently raised the corners of his mouth, transforming into a crooked-mouthed dragon king.

"Alright, alright! You've been nagging about this for five years! When will you stop? The soldiers are already assembling! You can lead them into battle anytime!" Yun Feng muttered irritably.

“Yes! Five years!” Roland’s gaze was deep and distant. He casually opened the system panel, which clearly displayed his achievements over the past five years.

Evaluation: The lonely king led his surviving people back to their homeland and built this city with high walls. The city has a large population, making it vibrant and full of life. Everything is developing in a positive direction. The city's military strength is formidable; it can defend itself even against a full-scale invasion by an enemy nation. The city has many of its own vassal territories, which appear to be thriving! Note: The city's morale is high!
Abilities: 1. As the only city of the Lagrange Kingdom in Middle-earth, she will attract the remnants of Lagrange. The system will guide a group of wandering Lagrange civilians to her city every day, hoping that the lord can properly settle them.

2. Allow the recruitment of local civilians to train swift infantry.

3. The administrative center of the Lagrange Kingdom; the people of Lagrange will receive a faith bonus when they are in the city.

The rest is omitted...

Main Quest: Return to the Old Capital (Return to Lagrange to declare sovereignty and raise the banner of imperial restoration! High-level random reward *5.)
Overall Assessment: A thriving kingdom, its surroundings have been cleansed and stabilized. The resilient people of Lagrange still tenaciously defend this ancient land, and their king continues to guard what little remains! The kingdom urgently needs land to expand its territory and enhance its strength!

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!
"What are you saying! What kind of nonsense is this! What kind of 'moldy behavior' is this? System, explain this to me! Am I, Roland, the peace lover, the restorer of the empire, the heir to the kingdom, the great elector, the leader of the North, the rightful heir to the Lagrange Empire, the great golden dragon knight, the destroyer of the orcs, the victim of the Ringwraiths, the enemy of Sauron, the avenger of the Holy Light, the friend of women (crossed out), and the good husband of the kingdom, really that kind of person?" Roland questioned inwardly, after all, he woke up to find himself in the United States.

"..." The system was clearly still trying to understand the meaning of Roland's long list of titles, and it was obviously crashed by Roland's few words.

"So the peace you're referring to is the massacre of 10 Dongyi orcs in batches?" the system asked weakly. You should know that Roland has not been idle in these five years. His troops have been going in and out of the Lagrange Plains every day. The wild orcs that grew like weeds there have been harvested for five years and are now in their last batch. The entire Lagrange Plains have been wiped out!

"Ahem! Can orcs call people?" Roland awkwardly explained.

"..." The system simply went offline and pretended to be dead.

"Tch! Boring! Five years! Do you know how I've gotten through these five years? The kingdom's development to where it is today is entirely due to my governing talent and hard work!" Roland said to the system in a serious tone.

Slash! Slash! Slash! Kill! Kill! Kill! Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull offering to the Skull Throne! Loyalty! For the Empire!
