"Alas..." Thorin looked thoughtful at first and then sighed helplessly. It's not that the coalition forces didn't work hard, but the Ringwraiths had reinforcements!
Dol Guldur is about to become an eternal pain in the hearts of all the alliance countries in the Northern Alliance! Whenever there is a big event, this broken place will always jump out in front of everyone, making people want to crush them to death, but there is nothing they can do.
A small group of troops cannot be defeated by infiltration. If a large army presses into the territory, they will shake down your teammates. If you want to develop, he will jump out and harass you repeatedly. If you want to fight him to the death, he will retreat into the fortress and focus on a rebellious person who operates from the underworld...
"Dol Guldur is indeed a trouble..." Thorin frowned, his eyes full of thoughts.
Roland took a look at Thorin and said, Wow! Good guy, look at those ferocious veins... Roland has no doubt that if there is an orc in front of him at this moment, he will eat that orc alive...
"Dol Guldur... alas!" Bard and Bai Yi looked at each other with worried expressions.
"Otherwise we..." Thorin just started.
"No need!" Roland, Baiyi and Bard refused in unison.
"Do you know what I'm going to say?" Thorin said with a black line on his head.
"Don't say it, Dol Guldur won't be defeated even if you fight hard. My army has been fighting continuously for almost a year. They need to rest! Otherwise, I don't guarantee whether the knight's sword will be placed on my neck...
..." Roland shrugged. If he launches a large-scale war again, let alone the soldiers, the generals and nobles will not support him. Roland does not need to do anything to reduce his loyalty. Even if he really cannot open up trade routes this year, it is absolutely fine.
If we wait until next year to take action, at worst this winter will be monotonous and tight.
Seeing Roland's ugly refusal, Bard and White Wings also shook their heads. After all, even the Kingdom of Lagrand, which is full of martial virtues, is not willing to be the leader, so they are even less willing to touch Dol Guldur.
"...What should we do? You don't want to garrison troops in the old pass! Are you afraid of the orcs in Dol Guldur going south?" Thorin almost laughed out of anger at these guys.
"In this case, my suggestion is to go south to Gondor and Rohan!" Yun Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Huh?" Several people turned their heads to look.
"Your Majesty? What is your opinion?" Everyone gave due respect to a sixth-level wise man. After all, the sixth-level wise man is also a real sixth-level man!
"I can't say it's a high opinion, I can only say it's a small suggestion." Yun Feng shook his head and smiled.
"What you are worried about right now is nothing more than the orcs from Dol Guldur invading our trade routes. The problem at the old pass cannot be solved for the time being, but we can solve it if we go south!" Yun Feng smiled mysteriously.
"It's still the same path as before! After arriving at the Beorn people's Carlock town, go south along the Anduin River! Until Graton Plains! There is a town called Deno Town there. We can resupply here! Then here
Crossing the Anduin River and reaching its west bank, we can visit Moria and the Golden Forest along the way! Finally, as long as we pass the territory of the Golden Forest, we will reach the territory of Rohan!" Yun Feng smiled.
"Of course, this refers to the situation where everyone uses land transportation. It would be easier if they take the water route! And the orcs don't have a naval army!" Yun Feng reminded.
"But we don't have a boat! Even if we have a boat, we can't row into the Anduin River! What's more, the monsters in the water are really deadly!" Sauron asked slowly.
"Why not rent a boat from the Beorn people? Or buy their boat? Isn't it possible for us to invest in a dock and shipyard to build our own boats? I can provide the magic circle to repel the monsters in the water. Is there any difficulty now?" Yun Feng shrugged and asked.
"No, you explained it in detail!" Bud smiled friendly.
For Bud and White Wing, this kind of low-cost trade is easier for them to accept. Even if something goes wrong, it will only be the loss of a batch of goods.
"What do you think? Thorin?" Roland looked at Thorin and asked. The attitude of the king under the mountain has a great influence on this matter. After all, in terms of background, the three kingdoms combined are not as good as Iru. Bo! The most important thing is that Irube is still mining gold and mithril! It means that the dwarves are born with a hen that lays golden eggs!
"Very good, then let's give in! Everyone go back and get ready! We will meet at the entrance of the Jungle River in seven days!" The Jungle River that Roland mentioned is the east-west direction that runs through the entire Woodland Kingdom and flows into the Long Lake. The end of the river is the closest to the tributary of the Anduin River. Roland has begun to consider building a canal to connect the two rivers after the Gambada Fortress is demolished.
"Okay! Then we won't disturb you!" Several kings said goodbye to Roland one after another and hurriedly left Rapid City.
…
"Well done!" Roland gave Yun Feng a thumbs up. If it weren't for Yun Feng, he really didn't know how to convince the kings. He couldn't really go to fight with Dol Guldur, right? And now, he would have gone to fight with Dol Guldur. The surviving orcs and a large number of goblins in the Misty Mountains went to fight for the old pass... It was impossible to even think about a fiefdom without the strength of a border baron.
If Roland were to enfeoff a border baron now, he would probably be able to blow up his hair... The cost of building something from scratch would make Roland cry. The fiefdom of a border baron is all accumulated by a family for hundreds of years, and it will cost a lot of money. The resources are unimaginable! Castles, cities, towns, villages, roads, armies, caravans... If Roland can support him, Roland said that he can go to the Southeast Branch...
If you really count it, the current Lagrand Kingdom is really not as developed as a border baron with a century-old heritage in the Lord of the Rings game. At least a lot of it is zero...
"It should." Yun Feng smiled.
"If the old pass is really captured, how many people will be needed to station it? At least!" Roland asked unwillingly.
Yun Feng glanced at Roland in surprise, and finally smiled. Sure enough, the men of the Lagrand family were still men of the Lagrand family. Their greed for land and ambition to expand territory could not be hidden at all. The most important thing was to be able to make decisions. Then Hou Dong is a talented and strategic king!
Yun Feng thought this in his heart, but his thoughts began to spin: "It is not a big problem to take it, but it is very difficult to defend it. If you simply defend it, two teams of rapid flow phalanx are enough, but if you want to fully master it and build it into a complete fortress , probably have to go to a baron!"
Yun Feng told Roland the results of his calculations. Roland nodded. There was not much difference with his own calculations. Moreover, there was no point in sending 600 rapid infantry to snatch the thing now. He would wait until he had the opportunity in the future! Roland grew up. Take a breath.
