The oak shield froze.

He held the brilliant Akon gem in his hand, and looked at his reflection in the brilliant golden pupils, and then suddenly woke up to where he was.

"I know you—"

The dragon was in no hurry, it crawled slowly across the sea of wealth, its massive wings articulated with its sharp forelimbs.

"Despicable usurper, one of the dwarves I drove out of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oak Shield."

"I knew the day would come, and the riches here attract you and make you crazy, crazy enough to dare to stand in front of me."

It spoke slowly and much, but the oak shield remained motionless and silent.

"So I'm looking forward to this day and what you can bring to me. Fun. ”

"But I'm disappointed."

Its head tilted back slightly, facing Thorin, its fangs white and sharp.

"You have nothing, not even weapons, and you want to steal the gem from me."

"How stupid, you don't even dare to talk to me."

"Let me tell you, Oak Shield, that nickname you earned for defeating an Orc is worthless to me, and that you have come all the way to my temple, and that you have sought only one thing—"

"Death!"

As soon as the word came out, Thorin was furious, and he rolled to the side, shouting, "Traveler! ”

Then, he found that the dragon did not move at all, and did not try to attack him, but the banter in the golden pupils was thicker, and even the long dragon kiss showed a human mockery.

"Oh, you brought a helper."

It said joyfully, "I have already smelled, the moment you entered Erebo, the breath of you dwarves, and there is a . . . Eccentric humans. ”

"Traveler? I haven't heard of this name. ”

"You seem to think he can help you defeat me? Ha? ”

"With their armor, or is it the strange aura of darkness?"

Before he could finish speaking, Smaug had already held his head high, his whole body swept smoothly across the golden mountain, and moved his hideous and slender face to the exit of the corridor, and at the top of the stairs, looking down on Tang Sen and the dwarves.

"It's amazing." Its golden pupils brightened: "Let me see what these are?" Silvery, little things that sparkle with a charming light. ”

"Mithril!"

"I actually prefer gold, but I don't mind collecting Mithril, which can be like gems in my treasure trove, like stars in the sky."

"That's the wealth that belongs to the Dwarves of Durin! Dragon! Salin plucked up his courage and shouted.

"A female dwarf, what a rarity." Smaug laughed, and he couldn't help but turn his head, and the slender dragon's tail swept through the golden mountain, causing a shock, shaking Thorin back who was about to sneak away with the Akon Gem.

"Oak Shield, do you see that? A female dwarf has more courage than you. ”

"At least she dared to confront me, and you, despicable thief, you tried to leave your people behind, and a man slipped away from under my nose."

Why can even a dragon tell the sex of a dwarf? And sarin is still wearing a visor?

Townsend was really puzzled.

But the dragon was still talking, and it seemed to have endless words.

"I know what you want, Akon Gem, to be honest, it's just a tiny piece of my collection, I don't care about it."

"However, no one can steal anything from my hands, not even a single gold coin."

"Thorin Oak Shield, maybe you put it down now, prostrate on the ground and beg me for mercy, and I will allow you to live."

Thorin finally responded, realizing that he could not escape no matter what, that the dragon was always watching him, so he roared, "The king of the mountain will never bow his head, Erebo belongs to the dwarves!" ”

"The king of the mountain?" The dragon laughed, "The so-called king of the mountain is dead, and I have taken his throne. ”

"Now—"

Its body was flexed, and fire flickered through its scales in the dragon's belly.

"I'm the king of the mountain!"

A hot dragon's breath erupted from his mouth, and at the same time, Shalin had leapt down the stairs, shielding Thorin in front of him.

The massive Mithril shield split the dragon's breath in two, and the scorching heat in the air almost curled and scorched Sharin's fiery red beard.

The dragon stopped breathing, squinting at the unscathed shield.

"That's what you rely on?"

"You're trying to stop me with these ridiculous Mithril shields?"

Shalin poked his head out from behind his shield, "You just try!" I can smash your toes with a single hammer! ”

The dragon visibly stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, its body stretched out, its wings spread out, and it struck a majestic form for everyone to see in its entirety.

"I recognize your courage, dwarf."

"Ridiculous courage."

He held his head high, and his voice echoed throughout the Great Hall of Erebo.

"My armor is like iron, and no sword can pierce it."

"My fangs are swords."

"My claws are spears."

"My wings are a hurricane!"

Countless gold coins rolled up, jingle bells smashed against the dwarves' shields and armor, and the dwarves plucked up their courage and jumped down the steps to stand with Sharin.

"Shut up, you reptile!" Shalin yelled, "You've said enough! ”

Smaug's boastful words came to an abrupt halt, and he turned his head slowly, the banter in his golden eyes turning cold.

"Crawlers?"

"How dare you call the great Smaug that?"

"So. Disrespect! ”

The slender dragon's tail swept over directly, accompanied by Smaug's roar: "It's game over!" ”

"Die, ants!"

The dragon's tail, like a battering ram, slammed into the dwarves' shields, and the dwarves flew upside down like gourds.

The impact of that incomparable size was not something that the dwarves could resist, and as Smaug said, the dwarves were just ants in front of the dragons.

"It's boring, it's really boring." Smaug continued to sweep the dragon's tail in a vent, smashing a steel pillar surrounded by dozens of people.

"Now it's just you, so-called traveler."

"You don't seem to have a shield, and your ridiculous Mithril armor can't stop my breath."

"So, what other words do you have?"

"It's not over yet, Smaug." Tang Sen just shook his head: "The show has just begun. ”

His gaze swept over Smaug's tail without a trace, and there was already a silver-white Mithril shield stuck on it, the dragon obviously didn't notice this, after all, his scales were too thick, and the hooks on those shields were just right stuck in the gaps between the scales, and the concave shape allowed the shield to fit nicely on its body.

Thoughts hooked up on the Mithril Ring, and the hook on the shield slowly and silently changed shape, moving from scale to scale.

Smaug does not pay attention to these details, its attention is drawn to the other side.

The dwarves, who were supposed to be smashed to pieces by a single blow, crawled up one by one, shook their heads, gathered together again, and raised their shields.

"I feel like my bones are going to be shattered." "It's okay, it's a good feeling," said Scharda, "and that's a good feeling. ”

"The dragon's power is amazing, it even deforms the Mithril armor a little." "But as the traveler said, he doesn't seem to be able to kill us. ”

"Hahahaha!" Shalin was laughing, and she poked her head out of her shield again, "Reptilian, are you tickling me?" ”

“.”

Smaug's fury was visible to the naked eye, it was really visible to the naked eye, his belly lit up completely, and the roar carried the flames of dragon breath.

"Is this the power of the dark aura in you?"

"Mithril Shield, Mithril Armor, plus immortality, it seems that you are indeed well prepared."

"However, this will only delay your death and bring more joy to the great Smaug!"

"Don't think Mithril can stop me! Nothing can stop me! ”

"I will tear your armor, crush your bones one by one, and smear your flesh on the walls of Erebo until it rots and stinks!"

Instead of using its tail, it spread its wings and swooped down, its sharp claws piercing towards the shield.

The loud clashing echoed throughout the hall, the gold coins buzzed, and the dwarves flew upside down again, this time twisting even the thick Mithril shield slightly.

But the dwarves were still not defeated, and they stood up again.

No matter how Smaug's claws, teeth, and wings were smashed, and even the Mithril armor on the dwarves was smashed, not a single dwarf died.

The gold in the entire hall had already been disturbed, and Smaug was venting his anger with all his heart, he didn't care about the Mithril shields that stuck to him for some unknown reason, these dwarves were like good live targets, they couldn't hurt themselves at all, they had to let themselves attack.

"Fear! Struggle! ”

Its roar rang out: "Ants, run around!" ”

"From now on, no one dares to covet my treasures, the lonely mountain belongs to me, another hundred years, a thousand years! Until eternity! ”

"I am the flame, I am the death!"

Speaking of rising, it directly spewed dragon flames, causing the entire hall to fall into flames.

"Traveler, you can't hold on anymore!" A dwarf shouted in the firelight, "What next? ”

"It's coming." Tang Sen lay on his stomach at the back of the stairs to avoid those dragon flames: "Everything will be over soon." ”

The Mithril shields, under Towndex's control, were close to their pre-set positions, from the dragon's back, to the outstretched wings, to the arched underbelly, they twisted and deformed, stuck firmly in the dragon scales, and then joined and fused one piece after another.

"I'm missing a pose."

Waiting for the dragon flame to finally disappear, Tang Sen stood up, stood on the top of the steps, and yelled at the dragon:

"Smaug! Face me! ”
