"Baron Lance!" Roland called out affectionately when he saw Lance coming to report.
"Your Highness! The soldiers are ready!" Lance walked over and reported to Roland.
"Well, this trip is of great significance! We are sending you not only to escort the Goblin King Jesseava, but also to contact Turgon, the current ruler of Gondor! We cannot fight alone. The forces in the north are still too weak. We need our allies, Gondor and Rohan. Of course, Rohan is in no hurry to go. The King of Rohan is currently incompetent. As long as you contact the Prime Minister of Gondor, our chess game in the north will be revitalized! Otherwise, without Gondor to hold back the army of Mordor, it can easily flatten all the countries around the Lonely Mountain! We need to let Gondor know that we are still fighting in the north!" Roland smiled bitterly. Although the two thousand troops in the city of Floodgate are powerful, they still do not have much advantage over the tens of thousands of orcs! Not to mention that the Easterlings, who are more difficult to deal with than the orcs, have not yet appeared. These two thousand people are more than enough to protect the city of Floodgate, but it is hard to know who will win the battle in the open city.
"I understand, Your Highness!" Lance quickly figured it out. As a Lagrande noble, he had a very high level of political awareness. Of all the people under Roland's command, he was probably the only one who truly understood the nobility...
"I will write a letter to the Prime Minister of Gondor later. You must forward it to him. He is a smart man and will know what to do." Roland smiled. He didn't believe that Tegang could not see the benefits of mutual assistance between the north and the south. Although in his memory Tegang was a wise regent, various accidents could not be ruled out. After all, there were too many magical secrets in this demonic Middle-earth that could control a person's body and even soul. It would be better to be careful.
"I know what to do, Your Highness! Do you need to bring some gifts to them?" Lance asked cautiously.
"Of course! Bring them some scrolls!" Roland thought for a moment and made the arrangements. After all, he didn't have much to offer, so he couldn't just give them a griffin cub.
After much deliberation, Roland finally decided to get some magic scrolls to give to them. After all, he had a wise man at home. As long as there was enough time and raw materials, these things would be just a matter of numbers. They were convenient and not cheap. After all, magic scrolls were good things!
"No problem! I'll go back and prepare!" Yun Feng bowed lightly to Roland, then activated his Flash skill and continuously crossed space and left...
"Sir! What are you thinking about?" Caslo looked at Roland, who was thinking with a bitter face, and didn't know what was going on, so he had to come up and comfort him.
"Oh! I was thinking that if the Dongyi people come to attack us in this flat land... we may not be able to discover them in advance! Don't forget that the Tuput tribe is just guarding the forest. It is completely possible to bypass the forest..." Roland stopped talking. Needless to say, any smart person can imagine the scene that follows: the working Laglang people will face the fully armed Dongyi people.
"Alas! We are short of manpower... We can only send as many soldiers as possible to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance." Renault said helplessly. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. The entire Lagran Plain is so large, and we should be thankful that the 2,000 or so soldiers at hand can grasp any disturbance within a 50-mile radius of the Rapid City.
"We can only make do with this for now. After all, Lagrande City wasn't built in a day. As long as we proceed step by step, there won't be any big problems!" Lance spoke quickly when he saw that the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
"That's right! We still have so many people!"
"They can't conquer Lagrande!"
After hearing Lance's words, everyone expressed their praise. After all, food must be eaten bite by bite. Besides, King Rolandi has his own destiny, and people from the empire keep coming to him. It is believed that it will not be long before the glory of the empire will shine on the entire Rapid River again!
"Have you decided on a plan?" Roland looked at Lance expectantly. After all, he was the leader of this trip. As the saying goes, an incompetent general can tire out the entire army! Roland certainly didn't want his men to be "gods of war." They should at least have basic military skills.
"Well, this is what I think. First, we have to cross the entire Mirkwood and reach the west of Mirkwood as soon as possible, which is near the Anduin River. Then we take a boat downstream to Gondor." Lance held a branch in his hand and gestured on the ground.
"That's basically it, but have you ever considered how to cross the Dark Forest? And how will you get a boat to cross the river?" Roland asked this question. This was also a test!
"We can take a detour to the Woodland Kingdom! We can't take the old forest road anyway!" Lance shook his head helplessly.
"Why? Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to take the Old Forest Road?" Roland asked deliberately.
