Chapter 22: Dragon Slayer Archer Bard

If this hero is very good, it is the famous human marksman - Bard.

Perhaps Bard's name can only be spread in the Long Lake Valley, after all, there is nothing really to do to deter the entire continent, and his current job is just a boatman.

But when it comes to Bard's family and ancestral heritage, it does feel very remarkable.

Don't look at the sharpshooter Bud is now a boatman who cares about the safety of the residents of Long Lake, his ancestor was the original Lord of Riverdale, Giryan.

When Smaug destroyed Riverdale and captured the Lonely Mountain in 2770, Lord Girion was killed because he only had time to shoot one of Smaug's scales and shoot another arrow with his Purple Shirt.

And because of this, the descendants of Girion have always regarded themselves as lords when they came to Long Lake with the inhabitants who survived the fire of Smaug.

By the time it reached Bard, there was nothing else that had been passed down except for the [Black Arrow] used to shoot the dragon and his good archery skills.

Even the huge [Yew Bow] was fixed to the top tower of the tallest building in Long Lake Town, becoming an ornament.

And unlike the victims who first came to Long Lake Town and resented Lord Girion for not being able to shoot the dragon to protect them, the current residents are more supportive and inclined to Bard because of the greed and harshness of the mayor of Long Lake Town.

At this moment, Bard, who was traveling in the waterway connecting the Shadow Forest to the town of Long Lake, was rushing to a dock close to the outer edge of the jungle to receive empty barrels.

A small boat sails up the river to deliver news to Bard that the dragon has destroyed the Forest Elven Palace.

In fact, Bard had already heard about it without being informed, because it was through this waterway that the Wood Elves who fled to Long Lake Town drifted down.

Bard was ready on this dock to fight the dragon for a blockade.

Because he knew that the speed of his ship was definitely not as fast as the speed of the dragon's flight, it would definitely be too late for him to return to Long Lake Town to reach the spire and use the [Yew Bow] and [Black Arrow].

Fortunately, he always carried a huge [black arrow] like a spear used by ordinary people with his ship.

He had already found the highest point on the rocks beside the wharf of the river, brought a pillar stone about a meter high as a base, and put together a shooting position improvised by himself.

The neighbor boy who came to ventilate him was already stupid, he only came here to kindly want to remind him to run away with his family, not to see him risk his life and use his mantis arm as a car here.

But Bard gave him a confident look and said, "Go back quickly, tell the townspeople not to panic, just leave the town in an organized way, the dragon is just passing through Long Lake Town, even if it attacks, it will only attack the place where it thinks it is inhabited by humans, as long as he comes back at night and there is no fire in Long Lake Town, maybe he will be spared." ”

It's not that Bard dared to set up a sniper position here with a [Black Arrow] in his hand so confidently, not that he thought he was much stronger than his own ancestor, Leader Girion.

Rather, he believed that his ancestor, Girion, had shattered Smaug's scales in his left chest, and he had the confidence to shoot the dragon's body, which was not protected by scales.

Of course, it is not known who gave him the confidence or who gave him the wrong message that the flying dragon was Smaug.

The news was completely distorted when it reached Bard through the elves who had already begun to flee when they saw the opportunity, let alone to Long Lake Town?

Now the legend of Long Lake has been perfected, and it is said that Smaug, who occupied the Lonely Mountain, flew into the Dark Forest and attacked the palace of Seran Dui, the king of the Northern Dark Forest.

The dragon spewed out a monstrous flame that set everything on fire, and the entire forest was in flames, the elves were killed and wounded, and the elven king Serrandui and his prince were killed in battle.

It is said that the largest elven kingdom among the three elven forces in the entire noon world has been completely wiped out from this world by the fire dragon Smaug......

In short, there is a lot of discussion, and there are more and more followers of this statement, and the most difficult thing to distinguish is a kind of half-truth and half-truth.

Because there were really seriously injured elves who rushed down the river to the town of Long Lake, it was early in the morning, and no one really saw it.

This elf was quickly opened by the mayor's die-hard lackey Alfred, who secretly opened the sluice gate and entered the town and brought it into the mayor's mansion.

So there was the previous scene, the entire Changhu Town became extremely flustered because the mayor of the town was about to run away with his family, and the news that the dragon had attacked the elven kingdom actually spread far and wide, and the more it spread, the more noses and eyes appeared.

But what Bard heard was the more traditional version, which was that the dragon had breached the gates of the palace and seemed to be coming in the direction of Long Lake.

In his own brain, there is only one dragon in the vicinity, and that is Smaug, so Bard dares to wait here to refresh the shame of his ancestors and kill this dragon.

However, what he didn't know was that what he was waiting for would definitely not be Smaug, but only the expedition team that also wanted to kill Smaug and take it home to pass on the treasure diamond Akon Gem in the heart of the lonely mountain.

Therefore, while Bard was on guard here, the [Deadwood Dragon] flying out of the mountain forest was approaching here at a very high speed.

And a group of townspeople in Changhu Town have become a mess, and the martial law ordered by the mayor has lost the last bit of effect.

The guards arranged by the mayor were also human, as well as wives and children, so the sealed passages were opened, and the townspeople scattered and spread farther away.

And Bard has made the last plan at this moment, he can say that he has been practicing his archery instinct for decades to sharpen a sword, and the dragon-slaying gene that comes from the bloodline is stimulating him.

That resolute confidence had already swelled, and Bard, who was stimulated by this cold weather, was steaming outward.

Remember, this waterway flows out of the forest in a fashionable way and covers the warmth of the rainforest, but when it flows all the way down to the long lake, there are countless thick blocks of ice floating on the surface.

In such a climate, Bud was actually sweating profusely, which shows how excited he is now, he is sweating profusely, but his heart is as calm as ice floes on the water.

Waiting for the best time to shoot this arrow that his ancestors didn't have time to shoot, and kill the evil dragon that is on the wrong side - Smaug!

Dragon Slayer Archer Bard had already prepared everything, but Wang Yonghao and his party, who didn't know that they were about to be shot, marched towards Changhu Town with a relaxed mood.
