The weather in early winter is not particularly cold, but the environment in Changhu Town makes it seem a bit cold and damp.
At this time, Mayor Stephen was sweating profusely under such a temperature.
Because he is making a difficult decision at this time.
Allen and Bud directly ignored him and discussed the evacuation of residents from Chang Lake Town.
At this time, Bud was symbolically asking for his opinion.
Stephen looked at the elite troops on the shore of Long Lake Town, and at Alfred and other men who were persuading him nearby.
He finally compromised and agreed to the request to evacuate all the townspeople from Changhu Town.
Stephen knew that after he agreed to this request, his rights in Allen Lake Town were gone.
He felt that he might no longer be the mayor of the town soon, and that Bud, who was favored by Allen, would become the new leader of the people of Long Lake Town.
But judging from the expressions of his subordinates, Stephen also knew that he had no other choice. If he refused, his end might be even more miserable.
Just after Mayor Stephen announced that the evil dragon was about to attack, everyone must leave Long Lake Town.
This small town on the water began to get busy. The townspeople packed up their belongings and rushed onto the wooden bridge of Changhu Town. Accompanied by the army of Wilderness Town, they rushed towards the direction of the Woodland Kingdom.
For some die-hards, Allen will ask Bud to take the guards of Long Lake Town to do some appropriate "persuasion". If they are still unwilling to leave, then Allen will leave it alone.
At the same time, Allen also sent Hermione to the Woodland Kingdom, hoping that King Thranduin could temporarily take care of these residents.
In addition, his army must stay next to his territory for a period of time.
Soon Hermione rushed back and brought the news that Governor Thrand Yin had agreed to Ellen. Governor Thrand Yin also guessed what would happen next, and he was not stingy with a little help.
Durin's Day is approaching. According to the plot in the movie, the evil dragon will fly out from the Lonely Mountain on that day and take revenge on Long Lake Town and the residents living here. Allen will have very little time left.
So from the beginning, Allen discussed with Bud how to deal with the evil dragon.
He clearly told Bard that his ancestor Girion had indeed shattered a scale on the dragon's chest, right at the fragile heart.
As Allen spoke, he simply drew a portrait of a large lizard based on his memory, and roughly pointed out the location of the scales.
Allen's plan is to have Braga take the guards of Lake Town, use bows and arrows in the town, and wait for Smaug to fly over, then shoot the dragon to attract the first wave of Smaug's attention.
When Smaug knows that Lake Town is an empty city, he will definitely become angry and attack Braga's team.
When the time comes, Braga takes the people and runs as far as possible in the direction of the wooden bridge.
At this time, Allen will take his personal guards and continue to shoot Smaug on the wooden bridge to attract its attention again.
Smaug's size would certainly not allow him to walk on the wooden bridge, and his breath of fire would not be able to reach such a distance.
It is impossible for Smaug to step into the long lake to pursue him. The lake has its own magic, which will weaken Smaug and cause harm to the evil dragon.
Then his only option is to fly up and attack Allen and the others.
Wait until the dragon Smaug flies towards Allen.
Bard, who was hiding, could operate the dwarf wind crossbow and use the ancestral black arrow to deliver a fatal blow to Smaug.
Allen has never considered letting his army fight the dragon in Long Lake Town. Long Lake Town should rely on their own soldiers to protect it.
As for Allen and his guards, they can take some risks. They have a small number of people and high mobility. If they can't, they can just jump into the lake and hide.
Although there are certain risks, how can it be possible to do this kind of thing without risks?
If Braga and the guards of Long Lake Town choose no, then Allen will also change his plan.
At that time, let Smaug vent his anger at will. When his anger and vigilance decrease, Allen will come out to attract his attention and find an opportunity to give him a fatal blow.
However, at that time, the farmland on the shore of the Long Lake and the nearby forest will definitely be burned to death by the angry Smaug.
At that time, the environment near Changhu Town was no longer suitable for human survival in a short period of time, so Allen could only "reluctantly" bring people back to Wilderness Town.
Bud agreed to the plan, but what Allen didn't expect was that the marksman was actually not very good at using the wind crossbow.
Bard's family fell into direct decline in Jillian's generation. When Bard came here, he even had to make money by punting.
The mayor here has always been at odds with Bud, so how could he possibly agree to his using the town's property for training?
Bard took out his family's black arrow, gave it to Allen, and told Allen that he would replace Braga and command the guards in Lake Town to attract Smaug's attention.
Because Braga simply does not have enough courage and prestige to complete such a task, but Bud can.
This disrupted Allen's plan. Allen had no choice but to test-fire the wind crossbow himself. Unexpectedly, the wind crossbow became somewhat unstable after completing an attack.
Allen then thought about it. If this wind crossbow was brought out of River Valley Town, it would be nearly two hundred years old.
The environment in Changhu Town is extremely humid, which will definitely have an impact on the parts of this wind crossbow.
And now this greedy and stingy mayor has probably never maintained this wind crossbow.
For such a long time, this wind crossbow can still barely shoot, which is enough to show how excellent the dwarves' forging skills are, but no matter how good they are, they cannot withstand the erosion of time.
Fortunately, Allen brought several dwarf blacksmiths from Iron Hills this time, and they didn't have time to leave before they could.
These dwarves naturally know how to repair this thing. Now, a few of them are working overtime to repair the wind crossbow with the help of the blacksmith shop and materials in Changhu Town.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Allen looked at this black arrow that was almost two meters long, thought for a while, took out his Noldor Sigil Bow, and wanted to use
This magic bow, try to shoot this black arrow.
The effect of the attempt was not particularly ideal. Even if Allen fully drew the bow, it could only accommodate half of the length of the black arrow.
However, the Noldor Sigil Bow has magical power after all, and the powerful kinetic energy it contains can still shoot out black arrows.
But it can only shoot at close range targets, slightly farther away, and Allen can't guarantee its power and accuracy.
Fortunately, the Wind Crossbow was quickly repaired by the dwarves, and Allen no longer struggled with the issue of the Talisman Bow.
He is currently using the wind crossbow and black arrows to shoot at distant targets, increasing his touch.
And Bader also led the guards of Changhu Town to make corresponding preparations in the town.
Allen knew that Smaug's attack took place at night, in order to avoid arousing the dragon's suspicion.
Allen asked Bard and the others to start maintaining the lights in the town in the evening, giving Smaug the illusion that residents were still living in the town.
At the same time, in order to avoid being burned to death, they also found a lot of water-holding tools, filled them and placed them where they were ready to fight the evil dragon.
It is Yuanchi Market, which is a rare open area in Changhu Town.
Moreover, Bard also led them to build many escape passages in the Round Pond Market. The most important thing was to cover themselves and escape Smaug's lock.
Once they saw signs that the dragon was breathing fire towards them, they would jump into the water and hide out of sight of Smaug.
Alan knew that there was Valaulmo's power in the water, which was enough to resist the dragon's fire.
Moreover, the evil dragon would definitely not dare to step into the Long Lake. The bone-chilling cold water would continue to consume his strength and cause him harm.
Time passed little by little as everyone prepared. Allen did not know the specific date of Durin's Day, but he knew that there must be signs before Smaug's arrival.
Looking towards Gushan from Changhu Town, we can't actually see the gate of Gushan Kingdom, but the battle between the evil dragon and the dwarf must have caused some noise.
And when Smaug flies out of the Lonely Mountain, his chatty temperament will definitely expose himself again.
Allen believes that as long as he always pays attention to the direction of the lonely mountain, it is enough to know the time when the evil dragon attacks.
That night, Allen was continuing to familiarize himself with the operation of the Fengnu at the gate of Changhu Town, when suddenly a strange sound came from Gushan, which alarmed him.
Allen stopped what he was doing and looked towards the lonely mountain. In the dark night, flashes of light began to appear frequently inside the mountain.
Allen knew that Thorin Oakenshield and his party had already started fighting with Smaug.
Soon the dwarf prince will use the golden statue of his family to teach Smaug a lesson, and the rest will be done by himself.
Allen began to loudly order his personal guards to hide, and made a simple disguise for the wind crossbow. Smaug's eyes were very sharp.
Bard, who was guarding the interior of Changhu Town, did not need Allen's reminder. After hearing the movement on the other side of Lonely Mountain, he already understood that the crisis had come, and he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Sure enough, after a while, both Allen and his personal guards, and Bud and the guards led by him, all saw a red dot flying from the direction of Gushan. The red dot was getting bigger and bigger.
Coming brighter and brighter.
What followed was Smaug's crazy roars, and his "revenge", "destruction" and "burning".
It didn't take long for Smaug's hideous face, scales emitting red light, and oppressive body to become clearer and clearer in the vision of Allen and others.
The time of battle is coming.
I saw the evil and terrifying monster gliding to the north of Changhu Town. He deliberately slowed down his flying speed a little, and the scales on his neck became brighter and brighter.
While flying, he opened his big mouth and blew out a long-lasting flame breath towards Changhu Town, directly spraying through the town.
The Bards who were guarding the Round Pond Market began to use the yew longbows in their hands to shoot at the evil dragon gliding by. The arrows fell on Smaug one after another, but they were all blocked by the hard dragon armor.
Bounce.
Smaug didn't pay attention to the tickling-like attacks. No, those attacks weren't even tickling.
He didn't pay attention to the guards, but after flying over Changhu Town, he turned back and came to another edge of Changhu Town again. Then he breathed out another long breath, spraying Changhu Town again.
Wear one pair.
A large number of buildings in Lake Town fell apart under Smaug's breath, and the corridor formed by two flames slowly spread to all parts of the town.
Smaug breathed out two breaths of fire in succession, reduced his speed, and slowly flew over Lake Town, preparing to take a closer look at his masterpiece.
Smaug believed that his two breaths of fire were enough to bring fear to all the residents in the town, and he wanted to admire the figures of the humans fleeing in panic.
Then, when the other party has hope of escaping, he will extinguish the hope with his own hands. Only in this way can revenge be satisfying and can he eliminate the humiliation he suffered in Gushan.
But what surprised him was that flames were rising in the town, but no residents ran out of their houses. This made him confused, and soon another wave of arrows attracted his attention.
It was Bard and the guards led by him. This was already the third wave of arrows they fired at the dragon. It had no effect at all. Not a single arrow could penetrate the dragon's scales.
Most of them were trembling when the evil dragon was spitting out. It was Bard who encouraged them all the time, and they persisted until now.
Smaug now turned his attention to them. The shrewd and cunning dragon already knew that he might have been tricked.
Although he didn't know the reason why all this happened, he knew that except for the dozens of guards, there was no one else in the town.
This made Smaug's originally angry mood directly turn into rage. He had just been tricked by the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain, and now he was tricked by the humans in Lake Town.
In anger, he roared and leaned down, flying towards the guards in this town. He wanted to trample to death, crush, and crush these humans who dared to play tricks on him, and crush them to ashes.
I saw the evil dragon swooping down and landing at the Yuanchi Market in Chenghu Town. He didn't even need to do anything deliberately, just a simple movement, and his huge body caused the surrounding buildings to collapse one after another.
Facing Smaug's dive, the guards who did not react or were completely frightened by the dragon died tragically under the dragon's claws.
His casual swipe is enough to break the muscles and bones of a fully armed human being.
Some of the resolute guards hurriedly jumped into the river amidst the rampage of the evil dragon and barely managed to survive in the prepared escape spots.
Bard, on the other hand, led another group of people and ran towards the bridge in Changhu Town, where the Twilight Knights were already ready.
The intricate buildings in Lake Town have always created opportunities for Bard and the others to escape. They kept using the terrain to disappear before Smaug's eyes.
Even so, there are fewer and fewer people around Bud. These people are the most elite and bravest warriors in Long Lake Town.
At this time, they sacrificed their lives here in order to defend their town and the place where the people of Changhu Town have lived for generations.
Soon, Bud led the few remaining people and set foot on the long passage in Changhu Town. The wooden passage was too narrow.
Smaug could no longer pursue him, and no buildings could block the dragon's view.
"Run, run!
"
Smaug roared angrily, and the fire gradually lit up in his chest. It was obvious that he was brewing a fierce breath.
At this time, thirteen Noldor sigil arrows flew towards his head in the air. When the dragon lowered its head and breathed out, and Bard and the others fell into the water, the arrows fell on Smaug's head.
These magic arrows were so sharp that some actually broke through the relatively fragile scales on the dragon's head, causing him damage and piercing it shallowly.
The pain on his head suddenly alerted the furious Smaug. He suddenly looked up and saw the Twilight Knights riding elf horses.
They stood in the middle of the bridge and were preparing to launch a second wave of shots at the dragon.
"Elves, there are actually elves involved in this despicable activity."
Smaug roared, turned around and took two steps, letting some of the arrows aimed at his head miss.
Those arrows hit the armor on his back one after another and were bounced away. Smaug noticed this scene and felt relieved.
He ran a few steps in Changhu Town, flapped his wings again and started flying.
The angry voice of the evil dragon came from the air.
"The cowardly spirit actually walked out of the cave in the Black Forest and attacked me without knowing its own strength. After this is over, I will definitely visit the Black Forest. Just wait."
Smaug, who was flying, did not want to leave, but turned back in the air and flew straight towards Hermione and the others.
These elves hurt him, how could the stingy and cruel Smaug let them go?
Seeing the evil dragon flying, Hermione led the Twilight Knights, driving the elf horses, and ran crazily towards the end of the wooden bridge.
The disguised Allen was operating a fixed dwarf wind crossbow on a hillside at the end of the wooden bridge.
Soon, the evil dragon caught up with Hermione and the others, and the flames in its mouth were clearly visible.
After discovering this, Allen desperately signaled to his guard captain, telling them to jump into the lake.
Hermione, who was always paying attention to Alan, saw this scene and led his subordinates to drive their horses and jump into the river.
Barely escaping this wave of breath from the dragon Smaug.
Allen's movements undoubtedly attracted Smaug's attention. Even if he was flying at high speed in the air, his vision was enough to see a small gem under the hobbit's feet.
At this time, Allen was constantly adjusting the wind crossbow, aiming at the flying dragon.
Smaug saw it, but didn't care. He had been attacked by a combination of wind crossbows and black arrows.
Although it will cause him a little pain, it is not enough to cause him harm.
This guy flew straight towards Allen, preparing to use his thick hind limbs to kill Allen while gliding.
Allen knew that all his plans were for this moment, and he continued to control the wind crossbow, searching for the place where the dragon's scales were missing.
Facing Smaug who was getting closer and closer, Allen did not panic, and he soon discovered his target.
At this time, the scales all over the body of the evil dragon Smaug were glowing with fire. Only that small area was dark, which was so conspicuous in Allen's eyes.
After finding the target, Allen kept adjusting the angle of the dwarf wind crossbow, locking the position. Finally, he pulled the trigger and shot the black arrow.
"Ding"
After a crisp sound, the black arrows flew out.
Maybe it's because of the unfamiliarity, or maybe it's because it's the first time to face such a high-speed flying unit.
Unfortunately, Allen's blow failed. The black arrow did not hit the black area, but hit the adjacent scale.
Fortunately, Allen saw the black arrow and it was bounced to the shore of the lake not far from him.
But at this moment, Allen couldn't allow himself to think too much. He quickly grabbed his Noldor Sigil Bow, and then swooped to avoid Smaug's gliding attack, and desperately headed towards the black tree on the shore of the lake.
The arrow ran away.
Smaug took advantage of the situation and crushed the wind crossbow. After landing, he turned and chased after Allen. He was extremely large and very fast.
The evil dragon looked at the humans escaping in front of him happily, and finally felt a sense of revenge. He enjoyed this cat and mouse game very much, watching the weak creatures struggling in pain, but unable to hurt himself at all. Finally, he
Died in despair.
This slight sense of pleasure even made him want to play tricks on the humans in front of him.
But the pain on his nose soon made him angry again. He ran a few steps and caught up with Allen, who had just picked up the black arrow. He raised his right paw, ready to slap Allen.
Lun.
At this moment, a Noldor sigil arrow was inserted around the nostril of the evil dragon. It was Hermione. At this time, he had just struggled out of the lake and was extremely close to the evil dragon.
When he saw Allen facing danger, he shot an arrow directly at the dragon's head without thinking much.
Feeling the pain again, Smaug looked at Hermione for an instant. He ran two steps in the direction of the ant, swiped his right paw, and directly knocked away Hermione, who was about to continue shooting.
Just as Smaug was about to catch up and vent his anger, a voice came into his ears.
"Smaug, you stupid reptile, look here."
The familiar scolding made Smaug really look back at Allen. He had not experienced this kind of verbal insult for a long time, but he encountered it twice in a row today.
Before, no matter who his enemy was, after seeing his huge body and terrifying flames, their hearts were filled with fear, and they were either trembling or speaking incoherently.
The last time he was able to chat with him was the interesting Hobbit and the hateful Thorin Oakenshield.
After taking care of things here, he will immediately return to the Lonely Mountain. In the case of a sudden attack, he will kill the dwarves and the hobbit there, vent his anger, and get his treasure back again.
Smaug didn't know why he suddenly thought of these. With the thoughts in his mind, he moved his left paw back a step and turned his body around.
Allen, on the other hand, had already attached the black arrow to the Noldor sigil bow, and used all his strength to pull the sigil bow away.
Allen tried his best, and even the talismans on the bow glowed slightly, as if to remind Allen that it had reached its limit.
As Smaug turned around, the black area appeared in front of Allen's eyes again. A smile appeared on Allen's face, and he knew that he would not miss this time no matter what.
Smaug faced Allen, looking at him holding a very unworthy bow and arrow, and even wanted to taunt him.
But at this moment, the human in front of him suddenly loosened his bowstring, and the target was not his head. A trace of doubt flashed through Smaug's mind, what on earth was this human doing?
But soon, the coldness in his heart made Smaug start to fear. He didn't know what kind of damage he had suffered, and he didn't know how the small bow and arrow could penetrate his dragon armor.
It's just that his body is getting colder and colder, as if he's in solid ice.
Smaug went crazy in fear. He walked quickly a few times and flew again, but his flight was no longer as stable and fast as before.
In the end, the weakness of his limbs allowed this greedy and cunning evil dragon to slip into Changhu Town again, causing considerable damage to the suffering town again, and then he sank into the lake.
Ulmo's power surrounded Smaug, stimulating Smaug to make a final struggle, and he flew high into the sky again.
But it was useless. The magic on the black arrow had taken away his life. In the end, he fell into the long lake and died there.
Allen looked at the motionless Smaug from a distance, knowing that the dragon was dead.
He turned around quickly, looking for his subordinates, and finally found Hermione on a hillside.
The Noldor elf, who had not been with Alan for too long, was lying there motionless, with large blood stains on his filthy face.
Seeing all this, Allen's heart twisted together in an instant. He rushed over and knelt beside Hermione. He found that his personal guard captain was still breathing a little bit, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He took off the leather bag from his waist and penetrated Miruvo into Hermione's mouth. At the same time, he took off the necklace around his neck and put it on Hermione.
The emerald on the necklace shined crazily, but it was not damaged in the end. It was just that the greenness contained in the gem was lost a lot. However, as time goes by, it will recover, but it will take a long time.
At this time, Hermione's breathing had stabilized, and Allen knew that his personal guard captain had survived.
This Noldor Twilight Knight was able to survive the attack of the evil dragon, except for his physical fitness that was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Another reason may be that the jade ancient talisman armor on his body has withstood most of the damage from the evil dragon. The faint green light that used to appear on the armor no longer flashes. It is obvious that it uses its own
At the cost, he saved his master's life.
After a while, Bard, the Twilight Knight, and the surviving guards of Lake Town all came to Allen's side.
All of them were slumped on this soil slope, watching the flames rising into the sky in the distance and the completely destroyed Changhu Town, and they all had different feelings in their hearts.
Allen looked at Bard and asked the descendant of the lord of River Valley City a question: "Now that the evil dragon is dead, do you want to rebuild River Valley City?"
