Game In Middle Earth - Chapter 33.

Two hours passed quickly, and all met at the exit where they were going to start the trip to Belegost.

As Aldarion had no saddle, Cirdan had prepared one last gift. Feladrias appreciated with a beautiful black horse with long mane, he went to Aldarion, and he handed him the reins of the horse.

“The King knew you did not have any saddle, he hopes you can get along with it.” – Feladrias told him as he handed the reins in his hand. – “The truth is that now you see it very calm, but it does not end well with any of my men. I hope it did not cause you any problems.”

‘Great… Cirdan could not have given me a more normal horse?’ Aldarion thought, but he did not dare to say it out loud. – “Thank you very much for the gift.” – He said.

Feladrias gave him a slight nod and he went to his horse to start the march, while Aldarion stood watching the horse that Cirdan had given him.

At first glance, the horse seemed calm, but Aldarion, who was very intuitive, realized that it was waiting for him to climb on top to act. Therefore, Aldarion knew that he had to get the horse to accept him as its owner.

He decided that he should not preface this anymore and in a jump he got on the horse. Instantly, the horse became nervous and tried to throw him away, but Aldarion clung to the saddle with all his strength and pulled the reins.

The horse stood on its two hind legs and still, it could not pull him. Then the horse began to gallop along the road. Aldarion continued clinging with all his strength and tried to stop it while pulling the reins.

After three hundred meters, the horse finally stopped and at that moment a system notification rang.

“Ding! Congratulations, the user has managed to domesticate the horse ‘Elf War Horse’. Do you want to name it? ”

Aldarion was very happy to hear the notification. It meant that the horse had accepted him and it should not give him any trouble. What surprised him was the race of the horse.

It must be said that war horses are the best horses that can be found, and if you add the word ‘Elf’ to the name, it means that it is even better.

Aldarion was not expecting to get such a good mount so soon. He thought of getting in the distant future one of the Mearas, which are the best horses that exist throughout Middle Earth, but he was already very happy with this mount.

“I’ll name him Acan Dae” – Aldarion told the system after meditating. The name was chosen in Quenya, the elf language, and it meant Impetuous Shadow, so it was a very good choice.

When the animal heard what would be its name from that moment, it began to bang the air, indicating that it was happy with the name and liked it.

“Ding! Accepted name.”

Aldarion smiled and patted Acan Dae on the neck to show affection. – “From now on, we are going to be inseparable companions.” – Acan Dae gave another header in the air to indicate its affirmation.

At that moment, Aldarion heard the galloping of the horses that were approaching. Feladrias and Duihir came forward and stood beside him, while the rest of the procession followed the path without stopping.

“It seems that you get along, for a moment I thought you would have problems with it.” – Feladrias said with a slight smile of amusement.

“Yes, it seems that my new friend is somewhat demanding of its owner, but now that it has accepted me, I can say that I am very grateful to King Cirdan.”

Duihir did not much like this discourteous treatment of his lord, but decided not to say anything. – “Are you okay, my lord?”

“Yes, quiet Duihir. It’s just been a bit hectic. ”

“I’m glad to hear that, my lord.” – Duihir said while breathing in relief. He had just lost his lord, and now that the new one had been appointed he did not want anything to happen to him.

“It would be better if we join the rest of the troops. We can not delay.” – With that said, the three began to move. Feladrias met with his soldiers, and Aldarion and Duihir with the thirty dunedain.

The trip would last approximately three days, and they would only stop to eat and rest at night.

Along the way, Aldarion realized that, now that he had become a ruler, he could administer his people and his followers.

For example, if you focused on seeing Duihir’s statistics, they would appear.

—————————————————————————————————————

Name: Duihir

Identity: Captain Dunedain

Occupation: General

Loyalty: 88

Command: 80

Strength: 90

Intelligence: 65

Politics: 58

Specialty: Righteous General (raises troops combat strength by 20%, raises troops movement speed by 15%)

Evaluation: Duihir is an honorable commander, moved by justice. Watching the person he admired die, he wishes he could take revenge, but he would not put him before the protection of his people and his new lord.

—————————————————————————————————————

Aldarion thought that this new function was great. Thanks to it, he could take better management of his people, something that worried him.

From what he could see of Duihir’s evaluatuion, it was that he liked him. He thought he was not going to have problems with him. His loyalty was already high, and by his statistics he could suppose that as a commander and warrior he was very good, but in matters of administration he left a lot to be desired.

“System. Is the specialty a passive or active skill?” – Aldarion had only one question to ask the system.

“Ding! The specialty in generals is an active skill. At the moment they activate it, the ability will last for a certain time and then it will require more time to be able to use it again.”

Aldarion thought about the system’s response and then asked again. – “You have said the specialty in the generals, are there more people who have a specialty?”

“Ding! Yes, within your government there are, apart from the generals, the civil servants, the scholars, the soldiers and the peasants. Of all these, the only ones who do not have a specialty are soldiers and peasants. Civil servants and scholars will have passive specialties that will affect your entire population.”

‘It seems that I still have a lot to learn about this topic.’ – Aldarion thought to himself.
