"Your Highness, something happened!" Renault rushed in early in the morning and interrupted Roland and Nyx's happy morning time.
"What happened?" Roland withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. Grand Duke Nix in his arms immediately stood up obediently with a red face. After tidying up his slightly messy clothes, he nodded to Renault and immediately ran out with his face covered.
"Tell me what happened! I hope the news you bring can offset your disrespect in ruining my beautiful morning!" Roland took a sip of water and pretended to be angry. At the same time, he was secretly glad that Nyx's persuasion had prevented him from doing that in broad daylight. Otherwise, he would have killed Renault to silence him today. It seemed that the plan to restore and expand the castle had to be implemented as soon as possible! It felt terrible without that door!
"The star elves of Singrid were attacked by the orcs of Dol Guldur last night... Although they did not suffer heavy losses, their morale was completely gone, and the most important thing is that King Iovia was seriously injured and missing!" Renault said with a frown.
"Puff!" Roland spat out a mouthful of water.
Without bothering to wipe the water stains, Roland hurriedly asked, "Iovia is seriously injured and missing? How did you know? And they are brain-damaged? How did they get attacked by orcs? Is Singeri's star barrier made of snot?"
"They sent a messenger for help. Iovia was attacked by a black hero riding a nightmare when the Marshal's army attacked the Dol Guldur fortress. Her life or death is unknown. The entire Star Elves have now successfully escaped the entanglement of the Orcs and retreated under the leadership of the Star Dragon Knight Peter Gro. The problem is that the Orcs have tracked down the Star Secret Realm - Singrid. The entire territory of the Star Elves has been surrounded. Now they are in a panic and need support from the allied army! The messenger just continued to head north after communicating with us. I guess he is going to inform the two kingdoms of Lonely Mountain!" Renault saw the unprecedented helplessness in Roland's eyes. God knows why the elves of Singrid would go to find trouble with the orcs in the old fortress.
"What?" Roland was stunned. What was Iovia doing? Dol Guldur, the orc outpost, was far more than it appeared. The second-strongest of Sauron's nine Black Knights of the Ringwraiths was entrenched there. Even when Sauron returned later, there were at least five or six Black Knights stationed there as an outpost!
"The current lord there should be the black hero Khamul. As the second-in-command of the Ringwraiths after the Witch-king of Angmar, he is not easy to deal with... Iovia must have been seriously injured!" Roland muttered to himself. As for whether Iovia died in the battle, Roland had no idea in front of Khamul. After all, the knight profession still restrained the ranger profession. Now he could only hope that the poor guy Iovia was still alive.
"So, we have to send an army to Isengard?" Roland stopped thinking. Singer was surrounded, which meant that the Star Elves were directly exposed to the Orcs' troops. Without reinforcements from the allies, breaking through the boundary was a matter of time.
"Yes, sir, we need to send our forces to fulfill the covenant!" Renault nodded in affirmation. The spirit of chivalry made him go to support even in the absence of a covenant. After all, mercy and glory will be with the world.
"Then let's do it! Gather our knights! Summon Elnino's Rangers! This battle will be in the jungle with complex terrain, so the other soldiers will stay in Rapid City. Oh, and ask Omsk to come over!" Roland said a little tiredly.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Renault growled.
"For the glory we once lost..." Roland muttered as he leaned back in his chair and emptied his mind.
…
"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" Omsk walked over with heavy steps, and the ground seemed to tremble with every step of his low footsteps.
"Yes! We may be facing a big battle! The enemy is orcs! They have at least one black hero! We cannot rule out the possibility of reinforcements from other level six professionals. On our side, with other allies not taking action, you are the only level six professional. Do you feel any pressure?" Roland looked at Omsk with some concern. Although the Light and Shadow Knight is very powerful, one should never underestimate the counterattack of a black knight. If there are other people to help, Omsk feels that the battle will be very difficult!
"System, check the territory information!" Roland said silently. He needed to calculate his own combat effectiveness.

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 has become more vibrant and lively. Everything is progressing in a positive direction. The city's military is formidable, with a wealth of qualified soldiers! The city is fully capable of defending itself from even a small-scale attack. Note: The Grand Duke of the Principality of Nyx has fled to this point, leaving the country without a mistress or heir.
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.
"Of course no problem! I will use my spear to fulfill your dream!" Omsk said in a muffled voice.
"Very good. I have decided to send the Holy Knights and Ranger Elnino to provide support... Do you think these troops are enough?" Roland told Omsk the whole story.
"We have too few frontline professionals! As you said, the elves' long-range professions are very dominant. We need to add some powerful frontline professionals! Of course, the Stream Infantry won't do!" Omsk looked at Roland's face as if he realized something, and immediately dispelled Roland's hope of joining the Stream Infantry.
"Then do you think we need to add anything?" Roland decided to listen to the professionals.
"The Lagran Royal Guards are very good! We need them!" Omsk calculated the existing troops in his own army, and the only ones who could be used in close combat were the guards.
"Okay! It's them. Tell them to gather now. We'll set off in half an hour!" Roland said.
"I will obey your will, Your Highness!" Omsk hit his chest and slowly walked away.
