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

Chapter 844 Dragon Knight Strategy - The Beginning!
If Sauron knew Lagrang's current situation, he'd probably kill Lagrang first. After all, those dragons, armed to the teeth, were enough to terrify him. Although Roland didn't have the resources to arm those dragons... true dragon riders, like dragon knights, wore dragon armor, though dragon rider armor was lighter and thinner, consuming far fewer resources than dragon armor. But Roland knew Sauron didn't!
Roland assured Soren that he would nip the danger in the bud and would not give him any chance to hide in the back!

Therefore, Roland now needs to hide his strength and play the fool to catch the tiger, and then emerge when they are both exhausted to give Sauron a lightning cannon!

……

"Huh? Girl, what are you doing?" Charlie Pros was wandering around Lagrange City when he happened to come across the tower where the Purple Thunder Dragon Purple Chain was imprisoned. He immediately spotted Maple Forest Shulan writhing there.

"We're looking at the Purple Chain!" Maple Forest Xilan appeared silently from behind Charlie Pros, startling him.

“My ladies!” Charlie Pros said, rubbing his chest with lingering fear. He looked at Maple Forest Xilan, who was carrying the spotlight on his shoulder, and gave a helpless bitter smile. Under the protection of the spotlight, the oblivious Charlie Pros had no idea that the girl had touched him from behind.

"Be careful!" Charlie Pros reminded the light on Maple Forest Xilan's shoulder. Although the dragon was sealed, it was still dangerous, and as the nanny of the two children, the light naturally had to take responsibility for protecting the two little girls.

"Good day, Madam!" Charlie Pross greeted Lilith behind him with an elegant and polite gesture, clearly Lilith had come to greet the children in the family for dinner.

"Hello, Your Excellency Charlie!" Lilith smiled slightly, her face still somewhat pale, and nodded gently to Charlie Prosper.

"Then I won't bother you any longer." Charlie Pros felt relieved when he saw Lilith arrive. After all, even a severely injured sixth-tier Holy Sage could easily defeat a sealed dragon!

"It's time to go home for dinner, children..." Lilith said softly to her two children after watching Charlie Prosper leave.

"Huh?" Lilith suddenly exclaimed in surprise as she looked at Maple Forest Shulan.

"What's wrong, Sister Lilith?" The two little ones stood up looking aggrieved, as if they had done something wrong, and then lowered their heads. After all, Maple Forest Orchid was completely focused on his wife and had no time to care about his younger sister. Lilith had always been in charge of the two girls at home, and over time, the two girls had developed a great deal of awe for their sister-in-law, Lilith.

"It's nothing..." Lilith shook her head calmly, took the two little girls' hands, and walked away slowly, though a hint of joy lingered in her heart.

……

"Darling." Maple Forest Orchid, who had spent the day entertaining guests with Roland, returned home carrying the delicacies she had swiped from Roland's chef.

"You went to the royal chef for special treatment again?" Lilith chuckled, covering her mouth.

In an instant, Fenglin Youlan felt as if spring had arrived and flowers were blooming, her heart melting. She gently picked up her wife, smiling foolishly as she nodded.

……

"Huh? Who stole half of my chicken again?" Roland, sitting opposite Cass and Adolf Heinrichello in the dining room inside the palace, eagerly lifted his plate, only to find a honey-glazed roast chicken torn in half.

……

"It's alright, His Majesty can eat less, he has so many delicious things to eat!" Maple Forest Orchid waved his hand. After all, the McDougal and Baikal families were gone, so naturally there were no more servants trained by the families. Maple Forest Orchid, who had no talent for cooking, wanted to improve his wife's quality of life, so he set his sights on the royal chefs left behind by the Swift Hand family...

It's so easy for a sixth-tier holy hero to steal things from those lower-tier or even ordinary people! So every time Roland's private kitchen was set up, some things would mysteriously go missing. At first, Roland thought that was all the food the kitchen made, until a few days ago when Roland discovered that the food had been cut up, and then he suspected that someone was stealing it.

"You! Go apologize to King Roland next time..." Lilith was both amused and exasperated. Although the emperors promised to share their bread and wine with the McDougal and Baigal families when they swore allegiance to the empire... that was just a metaphor for the emperor sharing food and drink with his nobles. And yet, Maple Forest Orchid actually went and went to demand it.

"Never mind, just make do with this. The kitchen will make you some more if you need it!" Darian Nightblade muttered to Roland as he cut a piece of roasted meat bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Exactly!” Caslo nodded in agreement as he silently drank his soup.

"Judging from your expressions, do you know who it is?" Having spent so much time together, Roland immediately noticed the unusual behavior between the two.

"No, I don't know, I'm not sure!" the two replied decisively with a three-part combo.

"..." Adolf Heinrich and Charlie Proust, who were munching on berries next to each other, exchanged a glance and began to feel embarrassed. Your acting skills are too poor.

“…Youlan?” Roland looked at everyone present, thought for a moment and guessed who was missing.

“No! It’s not him!” Caslow and Darian Nightblade shook their heads decisively.

"Alright, I knew it was this kid. He must have given it to his wife again..." Roland was certain it was this guy when he saw everyone's reaction! He rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "They can order food at the restaurant, but he insists on staying home with his wife and being all lovey-dovey."

"Seriously, are the conditions in our castle that bad? Even a sixth-tier dragon knight commander has been reduced to stealing from the kitchen?" Roland looked at Adolf Heinrich with confusion, thinking to himself that he hadn't treated everyone badly!
"Is it possible that he thinks the royal chef cooks better?" Darian Nightblade asked tentatively.

"???" Roland stared blankly at Darian Nightblade.

"Isn't what you're eating also supplied by the royal kitchen?" Roland asked, looking at everyone's plates.

“He probably thinks Your Majesty’s meals are prepared with more care by the imperial chefs…” Caslo shrugged. Although everyone’s meals are prepared by the imperial chefs, since most of them are served individually, Roland’s meals are definitely prepared with more care by the imperial chefs.

“…Explosion!” Roland said speechlessly.

……

"Alright, let's get down to business!" Looking at Maple Forest Orchid, who was holding her hand and hugging her in front of the child, Lilith couldn't help but blush and slap his hand away.

"Shulan touched the purple-chained dragon today!" Lilith said seriously.

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Fenglin Youlan immediately looked at Fenglin Shulan with a serious expression.

"He didn't rule you out after you touched him today?" Maple Forest Orchid asked with a hint of surprise.

“Yes, brother.” Fenglin Shulan nodded.

"It looks like the strategy is progressing well, at least it's a good start! Congratulations, little girl, you've taken another step closer to becoming a dragon knight! The real strategy is just beginning! I hope you can win the dragon's favor!" Maple Forest Orchid said solemnly. When a dragon is willing to make contact with you, the real dragon knight strategy has only just begun!
