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

Chapter 826 The Dragons Submit
Before Adolf Heinrich could finish speaking, a golden light shot out from beside him...

"Boom!" A terrifying shockwave of holy element swept across the entire barrier within the forbidden spell, and the panicked dragons were instantly swept off the sky and onto the ground by the shockwave.

After the blinding explosion of light particles dissipated, everyone finally saw Dos, who was "hanging" at the top of the high-altitude barrier, and the wounded Holy Dragon embedded in the ground. In the collision between the two holy dragons, the Golden Holy Dragon actually only gained a slight advantage!

"Roar!" The enraged holy dragon clapped its arms, and the entire dragon crawled out of the pit. It roared to the sky, letting out a roar like a giant dragon.

"Good heavens... who can tell which one is the dragon!" Roland's eye twitched.

Legend has it that the sacred flying dragons were created by the Dragon God along with the golden dragons. Roland scoffed at this notion, arguing that flying dragons, the lowest of the true dragon bloodlines, were no match for giant dragons, who were at the top of the dragon food chain. But now, Roland accepted this claim! Had he ever seen a flying dragon that could rival a golden dragon? The difference in their ecological niches was immense!

"Humans? When did dragons get together with humans?" The Holy Dragon's pupils constricted as it stared at the sixth-tier powerhouses taking flight, then it spoke in human language.

"Wow! It can talk?" Roland exclaimed in shock. A flying dragon could actually talk?

“…” Nyx covered her face, suddenly feeling so embarrassed.

"Give up the resistance! We do not wish to cause bloodshed!" Dos looked at the sacred dragon on the ground, his eyes filled with arrogance. At this moment, he was the true emperor of the dragon race, the last golden dragon in all of Central China!
"Stop resisting! There's no way out! We've already sealed off this place!" Caslo flew over on his steed, Kaldo.

“Wow…so many dragons!” Weiss whispered to Vili.

“Well, actually this is the first time I’ve ever seen so many dragons…” Vili also expressed his shock. The sheer awe of dozens of dragons gathered together is unimaginable to those who have never seen it before!

"Dragon Knights? You've actually become the lackeys of humans?" The Holy Dragon stared in astonishment at the figures of several dragon knights, and its will to resist weakened. After all, the Golden Dragon and a group of humans could barely manage to send the young and juvenile dragons out by having the adult dragons fight to the death, but a few more dragon knights would completely block that path.

"Hehehe! How dare you speak like that! There's an old saying in Lagrange: 'A wise man submits to circumstances!' Following the Imperial Army... ah, bah! Following the Kingdom is the wise thing to do! Is the Dragon Kingdom something you call yourself?" Roland said unhappily.

"I have no grudge against you! We live in this forest and have never had any conflict with humans!" the Holy Dragon said, frowning.

"Yes! So we sincerely invite you and your people to join my kingdom and accept our offerings. By the way, my name is Roland! I am the King of the Kingdom of Lagrang!" Roland said sincerely. After all, these dragons would be his future dragon riders' mounts, and Roland naturally did not want to subdue them by force. Holding a sword was only to make others wary, not to let him slash indiscriminately. The sword's deterrent power was greatest when it was raised! So Roland tried to become a succubus from Middle-earth and learn from his uncle's persuasive skills.

“We live very well here. Our territory is vast, our food is plentiful, and we have no external enemies, so I don’t think joining the human kingdom is a good idea! The era of the human-dragon alliance is over!” the Holy Dragon said calmly.

“Maybe that was true before! But the situation has changed!” Roland sneered.

“Your presence around my kingdom is a threat to it!” Roland declared, arms crossed. “We dragons don’t attack humans indiscriminately, and besides, there’s no human territory around our land! Furthermore, we won’t clash with dragons!” the Holy Dragon said, glancing at the dragon knights.

"Now our territory borders yours, and besides, putting aside our relationship, your situation isn't necessarily good either! Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, has returned! They and we are destined for war, and unfortunately, you happen to be standing between the two sides! Guess whether the Mordor army will choose to detour or slaughter you? If I remember correctly, bone dragons are still quite scarce in the undead!" Roland said, half-jokingly. Although these dragons were blocking Mordor and Lagrang, they weren't blocking the main direction. The Mordor army could easily avoid them and not provoke these dragons, but Roland had simply changed the subject.

"Sauron has been resurrected?" The Holy Dragon was taken aback.

"Hmm! The one who was crushed in the final alliance war! You can think about it, his goal has never changed! Is it to stick together for warmth or be defeated one by one? In fact, we can kill you all at any time and turn you into expensive magical materials, but because our country and the dragon race have always had a close relationship, that's why we are in the current situation. Submit! Or perish?" Roland offered a stick with a sweet date.

"What can we get?" the Holy Dragon asked after a moment's thought. Since they couldn't win, they could only try to get better treatment.

"A stable living environment with no worries about food and clothing, and the guarantee of an equal contract!" Roland said calmly. The kingdom would support them and provide equal contracts for dragon knights. The kingdom did not advocate enslavement contracts that required sharing life and death, as such contracts were extremely damaging to the spirits of dragons! The dragon knight families who hoped to cultivate guardian dragons were not so foolish as to resort to enslavement contracts.

"I swear in the name of the Dragon God!" Roland said solemnly, patting his chest.

“Then we have no other choice! I am the Holy Dragon Joel! Their leader!” Joel bowed his head to Roland, looking at the dragons of all sizes behind him.

The pressure of reality forced him to submit to Roland. The memory of the final alliance battle made Joel realize that he was powerless against Sauron's army. Once the two countries went to war, his people would surely become the victims. For the sake of the Dragon God, Joel chose to believe Roland's promise.

"Let's go! It's too dangerous here. The noise from that forbidden spell will definitely attract the attention of the orcs!" Yun Feng advised.

"What? So many of us are afraid of him? Bring all the Ringwraiths and Orcs from Dolgoth over here! They'll beat him to a pulp!" Roland's eyes widened. Before there were any dragon riders, he was bullied by the Ringwraiths. Now that there are so many dragon riders, are they still being bullied by the Ringwraiths? What a waste of their time!

"Slap!" Yun Feng slapped his face. He had made the same mistake of habit again, forgetting that the Kingdom of Lagrang had deployed its elite forces for this operation. Now it was a question of whether the Ringwraiths dared to come or not; they would be killed the moment they showed their faces! Any sign of them would be met with a barrage of forbidden spells...

“Lord Yunfeng is right. Lagrange City still needs more people. We’ve drawn all the main forces from the kingdom’s defenses. We need to get back quickly!” Nyx advised Roland from another angle. After all, the fact that the kingdom’s border defenses were in a vacuum was undeniable!
“Then let’s leave as soon as possible. The dragons don’t have anything to take with them…” Joel said, glancing at the dragons behind him. They were nomadic and had nothing of value.

“Then let’s go!” Roland nodded.

……

"You've struck it rich, Your Majesty! Nine adult dragons! Fourteen young dragons! Eleven baby dragons!" Yun Feng walked over with the statistics.
