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

Chapter 874 Return
Roland and his group left quietly. On a dark and windy night, Roland, Caslo, Weiss, Maple Forest Xilan, and Maple Forest Shulan took advantage of the darkness to leave Lagrange City. In a wilderness, they were towed by Kaldo to a small wooden house.

Inside the cabin, Roland and the others stared at each other, their faces ashen. Roland's oversight had caused the cabin's windows to malfunction high in the air, shattering into pieces by the strong wind. They silently endured the draft, activating their battle aura to protect themselves from the possibility of hypothermia. It wasn't that Roland hadn't considered starting a fire; his storage space contained small iron stoves. However, seeing the soot-covered faces of the group, they all tacitly refrained from mentioning starting a fire again.

……

"Your Majesty...you?" After a long while, Caslo stopped, and Cardo also released his grip and put down the wooden house he was holding. As soon as he opened the door, he saw four "black men" and immediately became incoherent.

"Mistake! Let's eat!" Roland said helplessly, his face dark.

"Let me see what we have today! Top-quality cheese from the Swiftstream Ranch! Pan-fried lamb chops! Black pepper beef tenderloin! Hey! Exquisite cream bread!" Roland immersed his consciousness into his system space and began searching. Various delicious foods, still steaming hot, were magically conjured up on the table by Roland.

"This...is too lavish..." Weiss's lips twitched. It's just a quick meal on the go, does it have to be this formal?

"Hey! Cardo, here's your reward!" Roland tossed out a whole roasted beef leg, and Cardo squinted his eyes, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed it.

"Huh? What exactly did you pretend to be, Your Majesty?" Weiss was completely dumbfounded. Who would be so kind as to stuff a roasted beef leg into their precious spatial storage equipment!

"You can never have too much food!" Roland calmly glanced at the young Weiss. "You little brat, do you know what it means for one person to support half a kingdom? Roland's system space reserves could feed the entire kingdom for at least ten to fifteen days!"
"..." Weiss pursed his lips. Well, he was just ignorant!

"Your Majesty, could you please find a way to repair this thing? The wind is too strong! All our dragon power is being used to resist the cold wind!" Fenglin Shulan said timidly.

"Oh! Baby! It was my mistake, please wait a moment!" Roland rubbed the little girl's head and then tapped Doss in his arms. Doss immediately rolled his eyes and crawled out.

"Crack!" Wood chips began to fall from the wooden house, and the originally dead wood on the house actually began to sprout and grow under the power of Weiss's golden dragon! Fine branches began to intertwine and weave into a fine network that covered the windows. The fine branches intertwined within it, and soon several windows were sewn shut tightly. Except for a few thin gaps that allowed sunlight to pass through, the entire wooden house was plunged into darkness.

"Whoosh..." Then, under Doss's control, all the branches on the wooden house quickly withered and died, turning into dry and tough vines!

"Snap!" Roland lit a piece of firewood and then threw it into the small stove in the cabin at noon.

"OK, all done! Kids!" Roland clapped his hands triumphantly, just like Big C who had just been rampaging through the battlefield, unaware that he was actually Big C, and that Dos in his arms was the one rampaging through the battlefield.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The little girl wiped the soot off her face and ran inside happily.

"Oh! I am so guilty for making them work at such a young age!" Roland suddenly felt guilty.

"Come on! Aren't you after their dragons? What does it have to do with them?" Doss was too embarrassed to expose him. Roland, who brought these two girls along, was just eyeing two young dragons at their peak combat strength. Did he expect two dragon knights who weren't even at the third rank to work as child laborers on the battlefield?

"Ahem! I still care about children!" Roland coughed softly.

"You can fool others, but don't fool yourself! Do you want me to show you how you tricked two girls out?" Doss's dragon head revealed a visible sneer.

"What glory! What chivalry! You're just trying to fool two little girls... You never intended to take them to the battlefield, you just wanted to trick them into bringing the dragon along! Do you really think that blockhead Maple Forest Orchid didn't see through it? Otherwise, do you think he would have trusted his two sisters to follow an unreliable guy like you to catch griffins? He just saw through it but didn't say anything!" Doss chuckled and mocked. It's a law that a dragon knight's dragon will never stray far from its knight! If it weren't for trying to trick the two little girls from the McDougal family into willingly bringing the dragon along, Roland wouldn't have brought these two burdens along! To make the two girls believe that there would be a great battle that required them, Roland didn't hesitate to lower himself and paint a rosy picture of chivalry, the glory of dragon knights, and the honor of the McDougal family! His highly persuasive descriptions made the two girls want to give everything for him, leaving only an embarrassed Maple Forest Orchid and a stifled Darian Nightblade.

Doss was embarrassed to say anything about Roland, "How old is he to still be lying to kids like that! Shameful! What a weird uncle trying to fool young girls!"
"Ahem! It's a strategic necessity, nothing to be ashamed of!" Roland touched his nose, slightly embarrassed, after all, lying to children is certainly not a glorious thing.

"Your Majesty, we can go now!" Caslo, having finished getting ready, waved to Roland. To prevent the large group of dragons from being discovered, Roland chose to have Caslo lead everyone back to Swiftstream City. Although everyone agreed to this, it was unanimously criticized as having a strong sense of stealth!

"Okay! Coming right away!" Roland nodded and then went into the cabin, locking the door firmly from the inside. After all, everyone else was a little Karami except for himself, and if anyone got blown off, it would be a huge mess! He'd be mentioned in the history of dragon knights for the next five thousand years!
……

"You're back?" Nyx suddenly threw herself into Roland's arms. She hadn't expected the person she had been longing for to return so suddenly. With tears welling up in her eyes, Nyx looked up at Roland tenderly.

"Yes, I'm back. I missed you! Lagrange City is so cold and deserted. It has everything... but not you!" Roland hugged his lover and nuzzled her head with his chin. The two held each other tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats.

"Isn't it going to take a while?" Yunfeng looked at Roland and Nyx and whispered to Caslo.

"Hmm? You're questioning the speed of the Wind Dragon? Air transport doesn't take that long! If it weren't for the fear of the cabin collapsing if we brought them along, Kaldo and I could have gotten here in a day with all our skills on!" Caslo's lips curled up, clearly in a good mood.

"Then you..." Yun Feng hadn't finished speaking when he saw Caslo suddenly stride forward and run ahead, and then he saw Ajax in his arms.

“I’m superfluous!” Yun Feng raised an eyelid.

"Let's go, don't bother them! There'll be plenty of time later!" Duke Joelsteria reached out and grabbed Yunfeng, dragging him away.

"Hmm, so what do we do?" Fenglin Xilan and Fenglin Shulan exchanged glances and then turned their gazes to Weiss, who was about the same age as them.

"Let's go back to Swiftstream City!" After glancing at the two couples who had already started "kissing" each other, Weiss grabbed the two girls who were staring in a daze and left.

"Shall we go inside?"

"Correct!"

Is there a horse-drawn carriage?

"no!"

"so tired!"

"Bear it!"

As Weiss's voice faded into the distance, the three young figures gradually disappeared down the road.
