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

Chapter 958 Failed Escape

“Caslo!” Roland didn’t turn around, but spoke slowly.

“Your Majesty!” Caslo walked over, nodded to Roland, then summoned his dragon and flew out of the city.

"War has broken out? Roland?" Nyx lifted her skirt, her eyes flashing with panic. After all, she was just a noblewoman who had lived in the palace for a long time, so it was normal for her to feel instinctive fear in the face of war.

"Don't worry, my wife, the situation isn't that bad yet! Caslo is just going to say hello to the Ringwraiths on my behalf, it's nothing serious!" Roland reassured her, though the cold glint in his eyes remained undiminished.

"Go back, my dear!" Roland's tone was gentle but carried an unquestionable air. Nyx glanced at Roland worriedly, then stomped her foot and returned to the castle.

"What's the situation, Your Majesty?" Fenglin Youlan's serious expression turned grim as she gazed at the distant war clouds.

"Oh my god! My dragon god! It's here again?" Duke Joelster's face darkened. The appearance of the Ringwraiths was a big deal; nothing could ruin a person's mood like that!

"Should we prepare for war, Your Majesty?" Joelster then looked at Roland, awaiting King Roland's orders!

"No need, they don't dare to do it again now!" Roland chuckled. These people wouldn't make a move until the strongest Ringwraith was revealed! No one knew the destructive power of the dragon riders better than them. They were probably already trying to ride the demon dragons by now... Roland thought to himself.

"Then I'll go help!" Maple Forest Orchid was worried about Caslo going alone. Two Dragon Knight Commanders would have a better chance of winning than one!

"Be careful! Treat our old friend well!" Roland nodded to Maple Forest Orchid, but he emphasized the word "treat well."

"I understand!" Maple Forest Orchid nodded, then mounted the dragon and soared into the sky. A terrifying dragon's might emanated from it, causing a large number of livestock to tremble and excrete in its presence!

"Tsk! From now on, it is forbidden to release dragon might in the city without cause!" Roland, who also had dragon eyes, could see it clearly and could only shake his head helplessly and give the order. These animals were not used to the aura of dragons and there was a chance that they would be scared to death if they suddenly felt the dragon's might!

……

"Damn it! Didn't Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso just leave?!" Caslo's mind suddenly clicked, and his expression changed drastically!

"Kaldor! Speed ​​up! Charge!" Caslo urged his dragon to forcefully break through the air and enter maximum speed. He had already sensed something was wrong. Roland had sent his powerful nobles on a long journey, only to be ambushed by the Ringwraiths... While this was indeed the truth... future conspiracy theories would surely distort the story, portraying Roland as having schemed to kill his loyal vassals in order to exploit them! If that were true, then at least in the eyes of the Lagranges, Roland would be nailed to the pillar of historical shame!

"By the Dragon God!" Kaldor, who shared Caslo's thoughts, also shuddered. After all, this idea was too terrifying! No matter what, Grand Duke Oakrian Yasso cannot be harmed! At least not on his doorstep!

……

"Roar!" The dragon's roar shattered the sky, and the dark clouds could not conceal the dragon knight's burning passion! A streak of emerald light tore through the clouds and burst in, bringing dazzling sunlight that pierced into the clouds. The war clouds churned, emitting thick black fog, and the ice and snow melted under the sunlight.

"Dragon Rider!" A hoarse, piercing voice echoed from the war clouds as the dragon suddenly retreated a large step. "Uvasa? I think you're asking for death!" Kaslow grinned upon seeing the Ringwraith, then rode his dragon straight down.

"Lagrange's madman?" Uvasa was clearly shocked by Caslo's behavior; he obviously recognized the dragon knight who had once cut off his arm with a sword.

"Today is your death day!" Caslo clearly had no desire to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. After all, King Roland's instructions were to give him a proper greeting, so of course he had to do it properly!

"Swoosh!" The sharp adamantite dragon spear tore through the void with a whirlwind, and the spatial turbulence was instantly stirred up. Uvasa, who was preparing to escape into the void, was caught off guard and was thrown out by the spatial turbulence. Before he could tear through space again to escape, a spear light appeared in front of his eyes!

"Boom!" In his haste, he mobilized his battle aura and clashed fiercely with Caslo's dragon power. The shield constructed by the dark battle aura melted away layer by layer like ice and snow. Even the corrosion of the dark power could not stop the dragon spear from advancing inch by inch!

"Crack! Crack!" Uvasa, who was being held back by the dragon spear, flew backward in the sky. His soul fire shook violently as he continuously gathered battle energy to condense a new shield, barely blocking the dragon spear's charging attack!

"Clang!" He swung his longsword, deflecting the adamantite dragon spear and preparing to escape Caslo's attack range, but Caslo, riding a dragon, was not fighting alone!

"Boom!" The dragon's breath, condensed with compressed wind elements, surged out. Upon encountering the air, the wind elements instantly engulfed the air and expanded into strange cyan wind blades! It didn't cause much damage to Uvasa, but the space within a radius of a thousand meters had been torn apart by the wind blades, and spatial turbulence swept everywhere. Uvasa no longer had the conditions to calmly enter the spatial rift!

"Damn it!" Uvasa lost his initial composure, and the fire of his soul flickered violently in his eyes.

"Buzz!" An eerie light shone from his eye sockets and pierced straight towards Caslo's brow.

"Boom!" The invisible spiritual energy stirred, and the two spiritual energies engaged in the most intense confrontation and crushing. Under the protection of the Dragon Soul and the Knight's Aura, Caslo barely managed to hold onto his true self.

"Mental corruption?" Caslo's heart skipped a beat. For ordinary knights, this was far worse than killing them; mental corruption would corrupt them! Turning them into the black knights they loathed! This kind of corrupting skill, which shouldn't exist, could only be mastered by a small number of dark creatures. The Ringwraith's sudden attack stunned Caslo!

"Gah gah gah!" Uvasa chuckled sinisterly as he dodged Kaldor's dragon language magic and vanished into the void, escaping Caslo's pursuit during the opening created by Caslo's momentary lapse in concentration.

"Boom!" With half of his body hidden in the void, Uvasa stared at Caslo, enjoying his disappointed and regretful expression, and the next second he flew out directly from the spatial rift!

A thick beam of light swept across, hitting Uvasa squarely. The scorching power of the light element distorted space, causing him to escape the spatial rift once again.

"!!! Another one!!!" Uvasa was completely stunned. There were actually two dragon knights with such a powerful aura?

"Caslo!" Maple Forest Orchid rode on Long Xi's body, the Osbayar armor shining brightly, radiating the divinity of a divine artifact!

"A divine artifact!" Uvasa, hovering silently in mid-air, stared at Maple Forest Orchid's armor and the Dragon Slayer Sword's soul fire. He jumped again, wanting to tell Lord Sauron that he didn't need to save him dinner tonight, and that he wasn't going home...

"You actually caught him?" Caslo was overjoyed. Maple Forest Orchid's skill was perfectly timed, directly smashing Uvasa out of the void, causing Uvasa, who originally had a chance to escape, to be swept up in mid-air by spatial turbulence!

"Let's attack together! Kill as many as we can!" Maple Forest Orchid's eyes flashed with killing intent. It would be better for the kingdom if this level of Ringwraith died!
