Chapter 143 - Distribution of Spoils
Under the opening path of the dragon's roar of "unloading power", Li Mu carried a rusty two-handed axe, stepped on the waves, and rushed to the side of Brilina, Sid and others.
The first surprise attack hit the evil dragon, and the subsequent attack could only frighten the evil dragon, after all, the evil dragon flew too fast and had no track, and Li Mu could only learn from Brilina to open the protective shield to resist the revenge of the evil dragon's flames.
"Li Mu/Master Wizard, what should we do? The dragon is so strong, we can't hold it anymore! ”
The entire town of Changhu was in flames, and there were only a few people who were still alive, even with Li Mu joining, the only storm cloak Cisse and Brilina, who had been following Li Mu, were all worried.
"Well, Kadore, Bard, I know the dragon's weakness, there is a gap in its left chest, where your arrows are fired. Rest assured and concentrate, Garn and Brilina and I will protect you. ”
The gap on the left chest was originally inlaid with the Akon gem, and if there was a missing gold cup, the dragon might not have paid much attention to it, but it was taken away by Li Mu as a medal, and Smaug's anger was obviously much stronger than in the movie.
With Li Mu's information, the two master-level archers, Kadore and Bud, immediately pulled the bowstring to the ear. As the dragon circled back and began to swoop closer, the moon rose in the east, shining silver clearly on its wings.
The dragon swooped down to its lowest point, and when it flipped over, exposing its belly, its diamond-encrusted chest reflected the light of fire – with one exception, of course. Two giant bows snapped, and two black feathered arrows shot out, heading straight for the dragon's unprotected left chest.
The two feathers were infused with the powerful arm strength of Kadore and Bard and the power of Smaug's swoop, and they went from the tip of the arrow to the feather. With an earth-shattering roar, Smaug slammed into the air before turning and falling weakly to the surface of the lake.
With a thud, its body slammed into the town of Long Lake, and its last counterattack was reduced to fragments and flames. The lake roared in, and a large amount of steam came out, and the entire sky was plunged into white smoke. There was a hissing sound, the lake swirled, and everything fell silent.
The dragon in the sky fell to the ground, and Smaug relied more on its powerful wings than on the heat of the flames. In order to determine Smaug's life and death, and not afraid of turning into a reptilian Smaug, Li Mu rushed to the seriously injured opponent with a two-handed axe, and cut off Smaug's dragon head neatly with the axe in his hand.
When Smaug, who once reigned over the world, became Li Mu's achievement point, Li Mu stood on the huge dragon corpse, holding the bloodstained two-handed axe in both hands, and finally put down a big stone in his heart.
This world's mission is the most difficult to slay dragons, but fortunately, with the assistance of two master marksmen, Kadore and Bard, otherwise it would be impossible for Li Mu to complete the task alone.
The moon rose higher and higher, and the howling cold wind blew mercilessly across the land, rolling the white smoke into huge pillars, blowing the broken clouds into the dark forest. The boats on the lake drifted more and more, and with the wail of the destruction of the homes of the residents of Long Lake Town, a large number of wood elf boats appeared in Long Lake Town in the dark jungle on the other side of the river.
The timing of the appearance of Thrandil's army of wood elves was really coincidental, Li Mu and the others were defeated in the battle with the evil dragon Smaug, until the evil dragon Smaug was beheaded by Li Mu, and this Thranduil appeared with a thousand men.
Now there are only a few people in Changhu Town who have the strength to fight, such as Li Mu, Bard, Cisse and Brilina, and they have no strength to resist the wood elves at all. Although he slandered the treacherous nature of Thrandil in his heart, Li Mu did not have any dissatisfaction on his face, but warmly welcomed the arrival of the wood elves.
In fact, Thranduil is not as dirty as Li Mu thought, but there are countless birds in the forest to give them a message to the wood elves, and Thranduil also knows a rough idea of the battle in Changhu Town. I wanted to wait for Li Mu and the others to really can't hold it anymore before making a move, but I didn't expect that the invincible fire dragon Smaug was really planted in the hands of humans.
Even if only a few warriors of Li Mu were still alive in the dilapidated Changhu Town, the cautious Thranduil would not dare to be careless, and the warriors who could slay the dragon would probably not be too difficult to kill the wood elves.
With the help of Thorendil and other wood elves, whether it is the residents of Changhu Town or the elven army, all skilled craftsmen who have some skills stay in the local area and work day and night. They cut down trees, collected driftwood from the river, and built huts by the lake to ward off the winter.
Under Li Mu's plan, they began to build a new, bigger and better town, but in a different location. They moved the town a little further north, as most of the town's inhabitants were still terrified of the dragon's sleeping waters.
Smaug is dead! The wealth of the dwarven king Thor suddenly became ownerless.
Of course, there was a reason for Thranduil's arrival, but Li Mu didn't care, resisting and killing Smaug, Long Lake Town paid too much. As a human being, Li Mu will also ask for compensation for the residents of Changhu Town. It's just that compared to such a trivial matter as dividing the spoils, the tens of thousands of troops of the half-orcs are the trouble of the henchmen.
Sending the only Storm Cloak Cisse to the various contact points in Middle-earth to ask for help, Li Mu took Bud, Brielina, Kadore, and Garn to gather all the adult men in Long Lake who could take up arms, and most of the Elven King's troops, and marched to the mountains to the north.
In this way, eleven days after the dragon's death, Li Mu and Thrandil's troops crossed the rocks at the other end of the lake and entered the wasteland created by the dragon.
Thor's wealth is more than an endless supply of gold and precious stones for Thorin, but a symbol of the re-emergence of the dwarves. Even though Smaug had died at the hands of humans, Thorin had no intention of paying him anything.
When the army of Li Mu and Thranduil drove to the castle where the evil dragon had once entrenched, the gate in front of them had been sealed by a high wall made of square rocks, the wall was thick and high, and the lack of siege equipment was definitely a nightmare for the attackers.
The march of the past few days was not conducive to tearing their faces immediately, Li Mu and Thranduil looked at each other for a while, ignoring Thorin's questioning on the city wall, and the two of them each ordered their subordinates to set up camp and set up tents.
After a night's rest, early the next morning, a group of spearmen crossed the river and walked up to the edge of the valley. They carried the green banner of the Elven King and the blue banner of the Long Lake all the way to the high wall.
Thorin asked again in a neutral voice, "Armed and coming to Thorrin, son of Thorne, who is the one who intends to go to war at the king's gate at the foot of the mountain?" ”
