The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 54 The End of Smaug
The weather in early winter is not particularly cold, but the environment in Changhu Town makes it a bit cold and humid.

At this time, Mayor Stephen was sweating profusely under such a temperature.

Because he is making a difficult choice at this time.

Allen and Bud skipped him directly and discussed the residents' withdrawal from Changhu Town.

At this time, Bard was symbolically asking for his opinion.

Stephen looked at the elite troops on the shore of Long Lake Town, and looked at Alfred and other men who were nearby to persuade him.

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 Changhu Town were gone.

He felt that he might not be the mayor of the town soon, and Bud, who was favored by Allen, would become the new leader of the people of Changhu Town.

But judging from the expressions of his subordinates, Stephen also knew that he had no other choice. If he refused, the end might be even more miserable.

Just after Mayor Stephen announced that the dragon is about to attack and everyone must leave Changhu Town.

This small town on the water began to get busy. The townspeople packed up their belongings and rushed to the wooden bridge of Changhu Town. Accompanied by the army of Wilderness Town, they rushed towards the Woodland Kingdom.

For some diehards, Allen will ask Bud to take the guards of Changhu Town and do some appropriate "persuasion". If they are still unwilling to leave, then Allen will leave alone.

At the same time, Allen also sent Horimion to the Woodland Kingdom, hoping that King Thranduil could take care of these residents temporarily.

The other is that his army will stay next to his territory for a while.

Soon Horimion rushed back and brought Alan Thranduy the news that he had agreed. Thranduy also guessed what would happen next, and he was not stingy with a little help.

The day of Dulin is approaching. According to the plot in the movie, the evil dragon will fly out from the lonely mountain that day to retaliate against Changhu Town and the residents living here, leaving Alan with very little time.

So at the very beginning, Allen discussed with Bard how to deal with the evil dragon.

He clearly told Bard that his ancestor Grian had indeed smashed a scale in front of the dragon's chest, and it was 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 scale.

Allen's plan is to let Braga take the guards of Long Lake Town, use bows and arrows in the town, and when Smaug flies, shoot the dragon to attract Smaug's first wave of attention.

When Smaug knew that Long Lake Town was already an empty city, he would definitely become angry and attack Braga's team.

At that time, Braga took the people and ran towards the direction of the wooden bridge as much as possible.

At this time, Allen would take his personal guards and continue shooting Smaug on the wooden bridge to attract its attention again.

Smaug's size certainly wouldn't be able to walk on the wooden bridge, and his flame breath wouldn't be able to blow that far either.

It is also impossible for Smaug to step into the Long Lake to pursue it. The lake water has its own magic, which will weaken Smaug and bring harm to this 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 is hidden, can operate the dwarven wind crossbow, and use the family's black arrow to deliver a fatal blow to Smaug.

Allen never considered letting his army fight the dragon in Changhu Town. Changhu Town should be guarded by their own soldiers.

But Allen and his personal guards can take some risks. They are small and highly mobile. If they can't jump into the lake, they can hide.

Although there are certain risks, how can there be no risk in doing this kind of thing?
If the choice of Braga and the guards of Long Lake Town is no, then Allen will also change his plan.

At that time, let Smaug vent at will, and when his anger and vigilance subside, Allen will come out to attract his attention, and find an opportunity to give him a fatal blow.

However, at that time, the farmlands on the shore of Long Lake and the nearby forests were bound to be burned 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 this plan, but what Allen didn't expect was that the sharpshooter was actually not very good at using that wind crossbow.

Bard's family declined directly in Ji Rui'an's generation, and when they came to Bard, they even had to earn money by punting.

The mayor here has always been at odds with Bud, so how could he agree to use the town's property for training?
Bud took out his family's black arrow, handed it to Allen, and told Allen that he would replace Braga and command the guards in Long Lake Town to attract Smaug's attention.

Because Braga simply doesn't have enough courage and prestige to complete such a task, but Bard can.

This disrupted Alan's plan, and Alan had no choice but to test-fire the wind crossbow by himself. Unexpectedly, the wind crossbow became a little weak after completing an attack.

It was only then that Allen remembered that if this wind crossbow had been brought out from Hegu Town, it would have been nearly 200 years ago.

The environment in Changhu Town is extremely humid, which will definitely affect the parts of this wind crossbow.

And the current greedy and stingy mayor probably never maintained this wind crossbow.

For such a long time, this wind crossbow can barely shoot, which is enough to show how excellent the dwarf's forging skills are, but no matter how good it is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Fortunately, Alan brought a few dwarf blacksmiths from Iron Hills this time, and they hadn't had time to leave.

These dwarves naturally know how to repair this thing. Now, they are working overtime to repair the wind crossbow with the help of the blacksmith shop and materials in Changhu Town.

And Allen looked at the black arrow that was nearly two meters away, thought for a while, and took out his Noldor Rune Bow, wanting to use this magic bow to try to shoot the black arrow.

The effect of the attempt was not particularly ideal. Even if Allen fully drew the bow, it was only half the length of the black arrow that could accommodate it.

However, the Noldor Rune Bow has the power of magic after all, and the powerful kinetic energy contained in it can still shoot the black arrow.

But it can only shoot close-range targets, and the distance is a little farther, and Allen can't guarantee its power and accuracy.

Fortunately, the wind crossbow was quickly repaired by the dwarves, and Alan was no longer struggling with the problem of the rune bow.

He is now using the wind crossbow and black arrows to shoot at distant targets, increasing his sense of touch.

And Bud also led the guards of Changhu Town, making corresponding preparations in the town.

Alan knew that the time of Smaug's attack was night, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the dragon.

Allen asked Bud and the others to maintain the lights in the town in the evening, giving Smaug the illusion that the 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 tools to hold water, and filled them up and placed them where they were ready to fight the dragon.

It is the Yuanchi Market, which is considered to be a rare open area in Changhu Town.

Moreover, Bud took them and built many escape passages in the Shouyuanchi Market, the most important thing was to cover himself and escape from Smaug's lock.

And if they saw the sign of the dragon breathing fire on them, they would jump into the water and hide out of Smaug's sight.

Allen knew that there was the power of Vala Ulmo in the water, enough to fight against the dragon's flame.

Moreover, the evil dragon must not dare to step into the long lake. The freezing cold water of the lake will continue to consume his strength and cause him harm.

Time passed little by little while everyone was preparing. Allen didn't know the exact date of Durin's Day, but he knew that there must be signs before Smaug's arrival.

Looking towards the Lonely Mountain from Changhu Town, you can't actually see the gate of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, but the battle between the evil dragon and the dwarves must be heard.

And when Smaug flew out of the Lonely Mountain, his chattering nature would surely reveal himself again.

Allen thought that as long as he kept an eye on the direction of the Lonely Mountain, it would be enough to know when the dragon attacked.

That night, Allen was continuing to familiarize himself with the operation of the wind crossbow at the gate of Changhu Town, when suddenly a strange sound came from the lonely mountain, 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 fought Smaug.

Soon the dwarf prince will use his family's golden statue to teach Smaug a hard lesson, and he will do the rest by himself.

Allen began to order his personal guards to hide loudly, and made a simple disguise for the wind crossbow. Smaug's eyes were very sharp.

Bud, who was guarding the interior of Changhu Town, didn't need Alan's reminder. After hearing the movement from the 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, whether it was Allen and his personal guards, or Bud and the guards led by him, they all saw a red dot flying from the direction of the lonely mountain, and the red dot was getting bigger and bigger. Come brighter.

Accompanied by Smaug's mad roars, and his "revenge", "destroy" and "burn" one after another.

It didn't take long for Smaug's ferocious and terrifying face, red scales, and oppressive body to become more and more clear in the vision of Alan and others.

The time for battle is coming.

I saw that evil and terrifying monster gliding to the north of Changhu Town. He deliberately slowed down his flying speed a little bit, and the scales on his neck became brighter and brighter.

During the flight, he opened his mouth wide and spewed out a long-lasting flame breath towards Changhu Town, directly piercing the town.

And the Bard people guarding the round pool market began to use the yew wood longbow in their hands to shoot at the dragon gliding past, and the arrows fell on Smaug one after another, but they were all caught by the hard dragon armor. pop open.

Smaug paid no heed to the tickling attacks, no, they weren't even tickling.

He didn't care about those guards, but after flying over Changhu Town, he turned back again and came to another edge of Changhu Town, and then he breathed out another long breath, spraying Changhu Town again. A pair to wear.

A large number of buildings in Changhu Town fell apart under Smaug's breath, and the promenade formed by two flames slowly spread to all parts of the town.

Smaug, who breathed out two flames in a row, slowed down and flew slowly over Changhu Town, preparing to have a closer look at his masterpiece.

Smaug believes that his two flame breaths are enough to bring fear to all the residents in the town, and he wants to appreciate the figures of those humans fleeing in panic.

Then, when the other party had the hope of escaping, he would personally extinguish the hope. This kind of revenge would bring pleasure and dispel the humiliation he had suffered in Gushan.

But what surprised him was that flames were flying in the town, but no residents ran out of their houses, which made him very puzzled, and soon another wave of arrow rain attracted his attention.

It was Bard and the guards led by him. This was the third wave of arrows they had shot at the dragon. It had no effect at all. No arrow could penetrate the dragon's scales.

Most of them trembled at the breath of the evil dragon, and it was Bud who encouraged them all the time to persevere until now.

Smaug now turned his attention to them, a shrewd and cunning dragon who already knew he might be tricked.

Although he didn't know what the reason for all this happened, he knew very well that there was no one else in the town except those dozens of guards.

This turned Smaug's already angry mood into fury. He had just been tricked by the dwarves in Lonely Mountain, and now he was tricked by the humans in Changhu Town.

Furious, he roared and leaned over, flying towards the guards in the town, he wanted to trample to death, crush, and shatter these human beings who dared to play tricks on him.

The evil dragon swooped down and landed in the Yuanchi Market in Changhu Town. He didn't even need to do anything deliberately, but simply moved, and his huge body caused the surrounding buildings to collapse one after another.

Faced with Smaug's dive, the guards who didn't react or were completely overwhelmed by the dragon died tragically under the dragon's claws.

His random wave is enough to break the muscles of fully armed humans.

Some of the determined guards hurriedly jumped into the river amidst the ravages of the dragon, and managed to save their lives at the prepared escape point.

Bud led another group of people and ran towards the bridge in Changhu Town, where the Twilight Knights were ready.

The intricate buildings in Changhu Town have always created opportunities for Bud 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 fighters in Changhu Town.

At this time, in order to defend their town and the place where the people of Changhu Town have lived for generations, they sacrificed here.

Soon, Bud took the few remaining people and set foot on the long passage in Changhu Town. The wooden passage was too narrow.

Smaug could not continue the pursuit, and there were no buildings to block the dragon's view at this time.

"Run, run!!!"

Smaug roared, the fire in his chest gradually lit up, and it was obvious that he was brewing a violent breath.

At this time, thirteen Noldor-run arrows flew towards his head in the air. When the dragon bowed his head and breathed out, and Bard and the others fell into the water one after another, the arrows landed on Smaug's head.

These magical arrows were so sharp that some of them actually broke through the relatively fragile scales on the dragon's head, causing him damage and stabbing them lightly.

The pain in his head made the furious Smaug vigilant all of a sudden. When he raised his head suddenly, he found the Twilight Knights riding elf horses.

They stood in the middle of the bridge and were about to launch a second wave of fire at the dragon. .

"Elves, there are still elves involved in this despicable activity."

Smaug roared, turned and ran two steps away, avoiding some of the arrows that were shot at his head.

Those arrows shot at the armor plate on his back one after another, and were bounced off one after another. Smaug felt relieved when he discovered this scene.

He ran a few steps in Changhu Town, waved his wings again and flew up.

The dragon's angry voice came from the air.

"The cowardly elves actually walked out of the cave in the Black Forest and attacked me beyond their control. After this is over, I will definitely visit the Black Forest. Just wait."

The flying Smaug didn't want to leave, but turned around in the air and flew straight towards Horimion and the others.

How could Smaug, petty and cruel, have spared the elves who had hurt him?

Seeing the dragon flying up, Horimion led the twilight knights and drove the elven horses to run crazily towards the end of the wooden bridge.

Alan in disguise, on a hillside at the end of the wooden bridge, operated the fixed dwarven wind crossbow.

Soon, the dragon overtook Horimion and the others, and the flame in its mouth was clearly visible.

After discovering this, Allen desperately gestured to his captain of the bodyguard to signal them to jump into the lake.

Horimion, who was always paying attention to Alan, saw this scene, and led his subordinates to drive their horses into the river one after another.

Barely dodged this wave of breath from the dragon Smaug.

Alan's movements undoubtedly caught Smaug's attention, and even though he was flying at high speed in the air, his eyesight was enough to see a small gem at the hobbit's feet.

At this time, Allen was already constantly adjusting the wind crossbow, aiming at the flying dragon.

Smaug saw it, but he didn't pay attention to it. It's not that he hasn't been attacked by the combination of wind crossbow and black arrow.

Although it will bring him a little pain, it is not enough to cause him any 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 kept manipulating the wind crossbow, searching for the place where the dragon's scales were missing.

Facing Smaug who was getting closer, Allen didn't panic, he quickly found his target.

At this time, the scales of the evil dragon Smaug were glowing with fire, only that small area was dark, so conspicuous in Alan's eyes.

After finding the target, Allen kept adjusting the angle of the dwarf wind crossbow, locking on that position, and finally, he pulled the trigger and shot the black arrow.

"Ding"

After a crisp sound, the black arrow flew out.

Maybe it's because of unfamiliarity, maybe it's because it's the first time to face such a high-speed flying unit.

Allen's blow unfortunately missed, 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.

It's just that at this time, Alan couldn't allow Alan to think too much, he quickly grabbed his Noldor Rune Bow, and then swooped to avoid Smaug's gliding pounce, and rushed towards the black stick on the shore of the lake desperately. Arrow ran.

Smaug crushed the wind crossbow, and after landing, he turned and chased Alan. He was extremely large and fast.

The evil dragon looked at the fleeing humans in front of him comfortably, and finally had 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 in the Die in despair.

This slight pleasure even made him want to play tricks on the human beings in front of him.

But the pain in his nose quickly made him angry again. He roared and ran a few steps, caught up with Alan who had just picked up the black arrow, raised his right paw, and was about to slap Alan .

At this moment, an arrow of the seal of the Noldor was inserted around the nostril of the dragon. It was Horimion, who had just struggled out of the lake at this time, and was extremely close to the dragon.

When he saw that Allen was in danger, he almost didn't think much, and shot an arrow directly at the dragon's head.

Feeling the pain again, Smaug looked at Horimion for a moment. He ran two steps towards the ant, and with a swipe of his right paw, he directly sent Horimion flying away who was about to continue shooting.

Smaug was just about to catch up to vent his anger when a voice came to his ears.

"Smaug, you stupid reptile, look at me."

The familiar scolding made Smaug really look back at Alan. He hadn't experienced this kind of verbal insult for a long time, but today he encountered it twice in a row.

Previously, no matter who his enemy was, after seeing his huge body and terrifying flames, his heart was filled with fear, either trembling or incoherent.

The last time I was able to talk with him was the interesting Hobbit and the nasty Thorin Oakenshield.

After dealing with the matter here, he will go back to the Lonely Mountain immediately, and in a sudden attack, kill the dwarf and the hobbit there, vent his anger, and get back his treasure again.

Smaug didn't know why he thought of this all of a sudden, following the thoughts in his mind, he moved his left paw back a step and turned his body around.

And Allen had already put the black arrow on the Noldo Rune Bow, and exhausted all his strength to pull the Rune Bow away.

Allen's best effort even made the symbol on the bow glow slightly, as if reminding Allen that it had reached its limit.

As Smaug turned around, the black area appeared in front of Alan again, and a slight smile appeared on Alan's face, and he knew that he would not miss this time no matter what.

Smaug faced Allen, saw 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 let go of the bowstring, and it wasn't aimed at his head. Smaug still had some doubts flashing in his mind, what exactly is this human doing?
But soon, the coldness coming from his heart made Smaug start to fear. He didn't know what kind of injury he had received, and he didn't know how that little bow and arrow pierced his dragon armor.

It's just that his body is getting colder and colder, this coldness is like being in solid ice.

Smaug went crazy in fear, he took a few quick steps, and flew up again, but his flight was no longer as stable and fast as before.

In the end, the weakness of his limbs made this greedy and cunning dragon slide into Long Lake Town again, causing considerable damage to that miserable town again, and then he sank into the lake.

The power of Ulmo surrounded Smaug, and spurring Smaug to a final struggle, he soared into the air again.

But it was useless, the magic on the black arrow had taken away his vitality, and in the end he fell into the Long Lake and died there.

Allen looked at Smaug who was motionless from a distance, knowing that the dragon was dead.

He quickly turned around, looking for his subordinates, and finally found Horimion on a hillside.

The Noldor Elf, who had not been with Alan for too long, lay there motionless, with large bloodstains on his filthy face.

Seeing all this, Allen's heart was instantly twisted together. He rushed over and knelt beside Horimion, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that his captain of the personal guard was still breathing a little.

He took off the skin bag around his waist, and penetrated Mizhuwo into Horimion's mouth, and at the same time, he took off the necklace around his neck, and put it on for Horimion.

The emerald on the necklace was shining crazily, but it was not damaged in the end, but the greenness contained in the gemstone faded a lot, but it will recover as time goes by, but it will take a long time.

At this time, Hermione's breathing had stabilized, and Alan knew that his captain of the personal guard had survived.

The Knight of the Twilight of the Noldor could have survived the blow of the dragon, except for his physical fitness far beyond ordinary people.

Another reason may be that the ancient emerald rune armor on his body is no longer. This armor has withstood most of the damage from the evil dragon. The faint green light on the old armor no longer flashes. At the price, he saved his master's life.

After a while, Bud, Twilight Knight, and the surviving Changhu Town guards all came to Allen's side.

All of them sat slumped on this soil slope, watching the flames rising into the sky in the distance, and Changhu Town, which had been completely destroyed, felt different feelings in their hearts.

And Allen looked at Bard, and asked a question to the descendant of the lord of River Valley City: "Now that the dragon is dead, do you want to rebuild River Valley City?"
