The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth - Chapter 172

“The Crusaders…” Roland looked at the familiar flag and said sternly.

“That’s right, the Crusaders… Some of them actually survived!” Caslow came to Roland and sighed with emotion.

“That’s… my people?” Nix trotted up with the staff Roland had given her, and then saw the familiar flag! That cross-bauhinia flag was stained red with blood!

“Let’s go out of the city to meet…” Omsk sighed. With his eyesight, he could clearly tell that the number of troops in this army would not exceed 500, which means that the number of people who survived the entire crusade was more than 500. .

“Crack!” The originally closed door was pushed open again, and Roland led the crowd to meet the army that disappeared for more than a month under the protection of the Knights. The originally prudent and dignified Grand Duke Nyx was slapped like crazy at this moment. The horse rushed to the front of the team.

…

“Lord Lavian, the city gate is closed! They seem to be guarding against something!” A pathfinder knight reported back.

“…” Huo Lin raised his head and grinned at the dilapidated flag beside him fluttering in the wind. Could it be that the defenders of Rapid City were guarding against them…

“No matter what, we have to go and see. This is the only remaining land of the empire on the mainland… We are homeless except here. I heard from those people that His Royal Highness is also here.” Lavian thought beautifully. , Since he was discovered by Balder and his party while passing through the Tuput Forest, Balder, who had seen the cross-bauhinia emblem, kept an eye on it. After confirming that the flag of this remnant army was the same as that of Nyx at the time, the men and horses immediately He stopped the remnants of the Crusaders who were running around in the wilderness like headless flies, and told them about the current situation of Rapid City, and asked them to go here to find the last pure land of Lagrand Kingdom.

“A knight is coming…” Lavian suddenly changed his face with excitement. Looking at the heavy lances and armor, he could easily distinguish the difference between knights and cavalry. Lavian would never admit it wrong.

“Dragon God is on top! It’s a hundred knights! The kingdom can still organize a hundred knights!” Huo Lin exclaimed and pointed to the big flag with a thick tassel hanging down, knowing that when they learned that the empire had been downgraded to After the kingdom has only one city, the heart is uneasy. How many troops can a city support? Not all cities are called Lagrange City! Even if Rapid City is the capital city in the northern part of the empire, it will decline after experiencing turmoil, so the appearance of an established 100-member knights group is definitely a surprise to everyone!

“Oh! It’s Your Highness!” Lavian keenly sensed Grand Duke Nyx who was rushing ahead.

…

“God! Thank goodness! You guys are still alive…” Nix’s jade hand gently covered Cherry’s mouth and wept silently.

“I’m sorry to bother you, Your Highness… Fortunately, we can still stand here to see you…” Lavian sighed, and I have to say that these people almost never came back…

“How did you break out?” Roland on the side couldn’t help but interjected.

“You are… See His Royal Highness.” Lavian was stunned and then saw Roland’s exquisite costume with the golden holy dragon emblem on his chest. He suddenly realized and hurriedly saluted.

“It’s okay, get up, you are all heroes of the country and don’t mind telling me your stories, right?” Roland was curious about how a fourth-order knight commander led nearly 500 people out of the desperate situation.

“Actually… those wounded brothers used their lives to delay us… We are not heroes… The real heroes are all left on the battlefield…” Lavian stopped the topic.

“I see… You are all warriors, and they will pay the price!” Roland patted Lavian on the shoulder and said silently.

“Any plans?” Roland looked at Lavian, the actual commander of the Crusaders. It would be a lie to say that he was not interested in this force. After all, there were hundreds of people here! And Roland is not good at directly annexing the army of this duchy. After all, they belong to the Grand Duchy of Nyx, and the suzerain has the right to order them to fulfill their obligations but cannot require them to be incorporated into itself.

“This…” Lavian looked at Archduke Nix, who was standing beside Roland, who was stunned. He actually wanted to complete his mission – to restore the country! But he understands that relying on the power of himself and others is simply a fool’s dream, but restoring the country with the power of the kingdom will inevitably be annexed, and even if the country is successfully restored in the future, it may not be able to break away again.

“Stay, Lavian. The Grand Duchy of Nyx is dead, stop thinking about unrealistic things, we’ve shed too much blood, it’s time to stop…” Nyx sighed Tone, her beautiful eyes were full of loneliness and reluctance, and Roland could clearly see the mist in her eyes.

“His Royal Highness…” Lavian wanted to insist, but he couldn’t say a word in front of the facts, and any words seemed pale in the face of the huge gap in strength.

“Stay and fight with me. Although the Grand Duchy of Nyx is dead, the Lagrang Kingdom is still standing on the mainland. What you are worried about will not happen. I have no intention of annexing Nyx’s Duchy. The children of Nyx will inherit that land, and the Grand Duchy of Nyx will be re-established! This is my promise to all of you!” Roland said solemnly, then firmly took Nyx’s little hand and embraced him in in the arms.

“His Royal Highness…this…” Lavian was stunned by Roland’s actions! You will not only recruit our army… but also kidnap our archduke? And then let your son inherit our duchy? Are the current suzerain countries so offline?

“My lord… this is probably our best choice…” Huo Lin quietly leaned over and said, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Looking at the appearance of Nix and Roland, he knew that the two were mixed together. , even the Grand Duke of his own has “joined the enemy”, and it doesn’t make any sense for them to persist until the end. Could it be that Lavian will become the Grand Duke himself? A knight who believes in chivalry will not do such a disobedient act.

“As you wish, Your Highnesses! All the Crusaders belong! Form an army!” Lavian took a deep breath and turned to look at the ragged but firm-eyed army behind him. sense.

“His Royal Highness! Please review the Crusaders! The entire army should number 100,000! There are actually 470! There are 20 professional Cross Bauhinia knights, 30 ordinary duchy light cavalry, and 420 ordinary Crusaders!” Wei An roared in grief, his heart was bleeding every time he said a word. After the first 100,000 people wandered for many years, there were only less than 500 people left… After the eldest prince died, Lavian took the team with him. Traveling on the wasteland, he gradually grew from a second-order knight to a fourth-order knight commander, while the original members of the Cross Bauhinia Knights are constantly decreasing, 100, 80, 70…now 20 men, and even the light cavalry regiment of thousands of men now has only 30 light cavalry men who are scarred and worn out… This army has been fighting for too long…

“Welcome back to the big family of the Lagrang people… warriors of the empire!” Roland was also moved by the tragic and solemnity of this army. 18472/10650018
