Infinity through different life

Chapter 404 Smaug is Coming!
The Woodland Kingdom is located in the northeast corner of Mirkwood.

The wood elves originally lived here. The difference between them and the so-called high elves is that they themselves or their ancestors have never been to West Valinor.

Those elves who have been to Valinor, have seen the glory of the Two Holy Trees, and lived in the territory of Vera, so they have become more beautiful, wise, learned, and stronger, and some even have a relationship with Vera. Having studied, invented their own magic, and know many technologies, their descendants will also inherit their powerful genes.

The wood elves are a group of firstborn elves or their descendants who gave up leaving Middle-earth and did not go to Valinor. They are not as wise as the high elves, and they are more warlike. Of course, they are still kind.

King Thranduil of the Woodland is a Sindar Elf, a descendant of the High Elves. His father Orifel chose to stay in Middle-earth after the War of Wrath, crossed over to Eredlon with his family, and finally settled there. In the dark jungle, he was elected as the leader by the wood elves here, so the woodland kingdom came into being.

The elves of the woodland kingdom live in the forest, and they can often be seen on the ground or on the branches, while King Thranduil lives in a huge cave palace.

There are countless exits in the palace that lead to all directions, and they also go deep into the ground, with a large number of tunnels and halls, but this place looks brighter and cleaner than the place where the orcs live.

At this time, Thranduil was sitting on the throne, and a wood elf guard below was reporting to him the news that Long Lake Town was destroyed by Smaug.

"You said that the current Smaug is more than 200 meters long? It is more than twice as powerful?"

Regarding the destruction of Long Lake Town, Thranduil was extremely shocked, but he paid more attention to the information about Smaug, and immediately raised doubts.

He has seen Smaug many times, including the time when he came out to look for food 60 years ago. Although he watched from a distance, he is sure that Smaug definitely does not have such an exaggerated size and strength.

How could there be such a big change in just 60 years?
"Are you sure you read it right?"

Thranduil was full of doubts and kept asking questions.

The guard who reported said seriously: "I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

"Keep an eye on the mountains, and if Smaug reappears, notify me immediately." Thranduil gave the order, "Also, send someone to search for the survivors in Long Lake Town, if there are any, provide some material assistance, and then ask Submit the information."

"Yes." The guard retreated in response.

Thranduil sat back on the throne and fell into a long silence.

He knew that Thorin had obtained the Aken Silmaril, and the dragon slaying battle among the dwarves might break out soon, and he was ready to send troops, because there was also the treasure he wanted in the mountain, the white gemstone shining with pure starlight.

For this reason, he even planned to launch a lightning war after the dwarves succeeded in slaying the dragon at any cost and suffered heavy losses.

The prerequisite for this plan is that Smaug dies as prophesied.

Thranduil suddenly became restless, feeling as if something happened that he didn't know, which led to changes in the future, and the prophecy might no longer be accurate.

He had heard that Galadriel had a mirror that could show many different things, even past, present, and future.

However, his Woodland Kingdom has little contact with Ross Lorian, and the relationship is only average. If he visits him rashly, the other party may not let him look in the mirror.

Thranduil was thinking and hesitating. He didn't know how long it took. A call woke him up. Only then did he realize that his son Legolas had returned and was standing in front of him. In addition, in Legolas Next to Si stood Tao Lieer, who disobeyed his order and left the forest.

He was very displeased in his heart, but he did not lose his temper gracefully. According to his previous order, Tao Lier had already been expelled from the Woodland Kingdom by him. Now that Legolas has found him back, he doesn't even have to think about it. He knew that his son must have come to intercede for Tao Lier.

To Thranduil's surprise, however, Legolas spoke of Smaug.

When he heard that Smaug had gone to Mount Gambada to kill all the orcs who went to the expedition, his brows were deeply wrinkled, and his face became very solemn.

In addition, the information about Smaug's body shape that he was concerned about was finally confirmed. The guards who reported it before were not mistaken at all, and everything was true.

It was his son who brought the news, so Thranduy didn't doubt the authenticity of the information, but even so, he still found it hard to imagine how Smaug's size could nearly double in size after only 60 years of absence.

He asked himself, if the orc army from Gambarda attacked his woodland kingdom, even if they relied on the palace for defense, they would not be able to resist, but such an army was easily defeated by Smaug. One can imagine how terrible Smaug is now.

Can the seven dwarves deal with such a powerful Smaug?

Thranduil felt deeply suspicious, and at the same time, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Just when he was thinking about whether to act according to the plan, the guard who had left before came back with a panic face and shouted: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Smaug is coming to us."

"What?!" Thranduy turned pale with shock, stood up abruptly, and ordered loudly, "Prepare for battle!"

Legolas and Tao Lier also changed their faces, and after looking at each other, they turned and ran towards the palace gate.

Roar!
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came in from outside the palace gate, and the sound echoed in the cave, causing the whole palace to shake slightly.

Smaug really came!

Thranduil panicked, even a little desperate.

The guards in the palace were already in a panic. Although they were lining up to meet the enemy, every elf didn't have any hope in their hearts.

As for what was going on outside, he still didn't know, but at this moment, Smaug's voice sounded again: "Thrandui, come out and meet me, or I will burn your palace down."

A flash of anger flashed across Thranduil's face, but at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from Smaug's intentions, it didn't seem like he was the one who brought the war. Otherwise, given the other party's personality, he should have launched an attack long ago.

At this moment Legolas came back quickly and said, "Smaug is just outside the palace gate. He didn't attack, and I also saw Queen Galadriel."

Thranduil gasped in surprise, then thought for a while and said, "Let's go, then go see Smaug."

A large number of guards gathered around him, and he put on the honor guard that the king of the woodland should have, and led Legolas to the outside of the palace.
