"Inform Renault to transfer the Dowinion heavy swordsmen back to River Rapids. I need them!" Roland said to the guard beside him, and casually wrote a transfer order for him to take away.
Yes, this poor heavy infantry was thrown to Lulong Fortress by Roland because it was useless in Jiliu City. After all, compared to Jiliu City, the solid Lulong Fortress is more suitable for this unit to perform.
"As you command, Your Highness!"
"How many troops do you plan to send, my dear king?" Nyx hugged Roland and said uneasily, her eyes full of worry. She was worried about Roland's departure and the weakening of the defense of the city of Rapids.
"I will probably lead about 500 people!" Roland opened the system's territory interface and calculated silently.

Comment: The lonely king led his remaining subjects back to their homeland and built this towering walled city. With the arrival of a few residents, the city feels more vibrant and lively. Everything is progressing well. The city's military is formidable, with a wealth of qualified soldiers! The city is fully capable of defending itself even against a large-scale attack. Note: The sole heir to the King's Lion family has arrived. Although the family's former glory has faded, he remains worthy of trust and esteem. Honor runs in their blood.
Abilities: As the only territory of the Kingdom of Lagrang in Middle-earth, it attracts the remnants of Lagrang. The system guides a group of wandering Lagrang civilians to arrive every day, hoping that the lord can properly accommodate them.
Allows the recruitment of local civilians to train Flood Infantry.
The capital of the North! Lagran soldiers defending this place will gain morale and stamina bonuses. (Unlocked when the population exceeds 10,000.)
"I have to bring the Dorwinion heavy swordsmen and the Royal Guards, and the Lordaeron rangers have to come with me!" Roland pointed out each word as he looked at the system's screen.
"Only bringing infantry? Where are the knights? How can you guarantee your safety without the protection of those knights?" A trace of panic flashed in Nix's beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry, don't underestimate our Royal Guards! Their guard skills are powerful and invincible. They can even withstand some forbidden spells. Don't worry about my safety. I am more worried about your safety. The Knights can't perform in the Mines of Moria, but this team is the most powerful fist in this area. Even if something unexpected happens... they can protect you." Roland smiled and said the worst case scenario.
"No! We will all be safe!" Nyx quickly reached out and covered Roland's mouth to stop him from continuing.
"Well, we will all be safe!" Roland nodded and rubbed Nyx's head to comfort her.
"I want... to go with you... I'm a mage too, I can help!" Nix pouted and muttered softly, her voice as small as a mosquito's hum.
"Honey, you know I can't agree to this!" Roland said helplessly. This girl couldn't help him, it would be good enough if she didn't distract him if she went there.
"Okay, but you have to take Yun Feng and Omsk with you!" Nix bargained with a pout.
"I'll take Omsk with me, and as for Yun Feng... forget about him! I'll feel more at ease with him guarding the Rapid City." Roland remembered that Yun Feng was a wizard after all, and he was definitely much better at defending the house than a knight.
"But isn't it dangerous to have only one sixth-level fighter?" Nyx looked at Roland worriedly.
"No, Kaslo will go with me, and I will bring the Smurf with me. I don't think a Balrog has the ability to fight against two real dragons! Unless those two dragons are fools!" Roland cursed and swore.
"Well, I hope you're right." Nyx turned her head and put it on Roland's chest without saying anything else.
"Don't worry, I will be back soon. After this battle, we will have a long period of peace. Then we can enjoy our own world together." Roland kissed Nyx's red lips.
…
"Your Highness, are you really not taking me with you on this expedition?" Apophis Breo rubbed his hands and said a little uncomfortably.
"I have streamlined most of the personnel for this expedition. Only a small number of people will go with me, and you have a more important task! Don't forget, replenishing fresh blood is more important than killing the enemy and gaining merit!" Roland patted Apophis Breo's shoulder and encouraged him. It can be seen that this guy still has some hope.
…
"Cave combat? Dragon God! That's not my area of expertise. Your request has touched upon my blind spot of knowledge..." Omsk wiped the cold sweat from his head and said speechlessly. After all, the knight's battlefield is on the plains, not in the caves.
"It's okay. Just fight like an infantryman. A knight fighting on foot should be no worse than a warrior, right? Are you going to admit that you are no better than those warriors when you dismount?" Roland asked with a smile.
"Nonsense! Forget about getting off the horse. Even if you kneel on the ground and fight the soldiers, you can't beat us knights!" Omsk slapped his chest loudly.
"..." Roland's head was filled with black lines. This is really outrageous! Fighting on your knees? Why don't you just lie down?
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Lead the Royal Guards and Dorwinion Heavy Swordsmen in exercises these few days and prepare various contingency plans. As for the Lordaeron Rangers... they are as familiar with fighting in confined terrain as they are at home. You can ask them for advice." Roland instructed.
"Yes! The talents of those half-elves in close combat are terrifying! The jungle is like their home!" Omsk nodded in agreement. Those Lordaeron rangers who are as slippery as loaches are definitely tough guys that no one wants to meet.
