Infinite Movie World

Chapter 1277 Destruction of Hope

If Long Lake Town hadn't helped the Dwarven Expeditionary Team, Smaug would not have smelled Long Lake Town from the people, and naturally, he would not have retaliated against Long Lake Town.

But now, it's too late.

No one can stop Smaug, and Laketown is about to face their fate.

Changhu Town helped the Dwarf Expeditionary Team not for any righteous purpose, but to obtain the treasures in the hometown.

To put it bluntly, this disaster was caused by the greedy human nature of Changhu Town.

If the people of Changhu Town listened to Bard, refused to help the Dwarf Expedition, and forbade the Dwarf Expedition to enter the Lonely Mountain, then Smaug would naturally not wake up.

All of this has already been determined, just like the fables are sung.

Standing on the summit of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin watched as Smaug's huge figure turned into a dark dot.

He didn't feel any anxiety or guilt in his heart, but was full of unbelievable ecstasy!

When his Jinshui plan failed, he thought he was doomed, but when Xufeng appeared, the whole situation turned around!
Xufeng actually defeated the powerful Smaug, and forced Smaug to leave the lonely mountain, never to return!

This is really good!

The Gushan Dynasty can finally rise!
And he can finally be crowned king in a legitimate way!
Thorin was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and the other dwarves turned their heads and said loudly: "Victory belongs to us! We succeeded!"

Balin and the others were naturally very excited. After all, they had gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and they finally realized their long-cherished wish, drove away the powerful Smaug, and recaptured the Lonely Mountain Palace.

but……

Balin opened his mouth, and said with a rather embarrassed expression: "Thorin, Smaug is going to Long Lake Town, should we do something?"

Sorin frowned, "What can we do? What can we do? Smaug went to Long Lake Town. It was really a misfortune for Long Lake Town, but this kind of misfortune had befallen our Lonely Mountain Palace more than 50 years ago. Well, Changhu Town didn't help us at that time. Besides, even if we wanted to help, we couldn't help. We just took back the Lonely Mountain, and there are still many things waiting for us to do. We need to find the A mountain heart that can rule the seven major dwarf tribes. With the heart of the mountain, we can let other dwarves move to the Lonely Mountain Palace, so as to reproduce the magnificence and prosperity of the Lonely Mountain Palace! Wait for our army to rebuild Afterwards, we may find a way to kill the evil dragon and avenge the loved ones we lost before!"

"...But, Sorin, you seem to have forgotten," Balin reminded with a frown, "Your two nephews, Kili and Fili, as well as Groin and Bofur, are still in Longhu Town. Could it be that...you don't plan to take care of them?"

Thorin was slightly taken aback.

At that moment just now, his heart was full of ecstasy, and he never thought that Qili and Feili were still in Changhu Town.

He actually forgot about it.

How could this be?
Thorin couldn't help but blame himself.

The dwarves are very close to each other, especially between the dwarves of the lonely mountain and the dwarves of the lonely mountain, the relationship is even better.

Thorin would rather lose his own life than see someone in the Dwarven Expedition die.

But at this moment, he has completely lost himself.

He can even feel his madness.

For the sake of power and glory, he has forgotten the original most important family relationship.

He looked around and saw other dwarves looking at him with strange eyes, which made him feel a little cold and helpless.

Of course, the others were not hostile to Thorin, but all of them knew that during the expedition, they could all be called brothers, they could sleep in the same bed, and they ate in the same pot. After the Lonely Mountain Palace, Sorin is no longer that Sorin, but King Sorin.

Now, they all waited silently for King Thorin's order.

Sorin sighed leisurely, "Sorry, we can't go to Changhu Town..."

All the dwarves present fell silent.

They left Qili, Feili and others in Changhu Town to protect their safety.

But now, it is tantamount to sending them to the grave.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Thorin had changed.

If it was before, Sorin could drop everything and lead the Dwarf Expedition into Long Lake Town. Even if the Dwarf Expedition could not defeat Smaug, at least they would live and die with their brothers!

This is the glory of being a dwarf of Lone Mountain!

But now, Sorin has the Lonely Mountain Palace, so he becomes worried about gains and losses, and can't let it go.

This is the truest human nature.

When you have nothing, you have absolutely no fear of losing.

What else can you lose?

However, when you have gone through all kinds of difficulties and dangers and finally have earth-shattering wealth, you will be particularly afraid of losing it.

In Thorin's eyes, the wealth of the Lonely Mountain Palace is the hope for the rise of the Lonely Mountain dwarves. Compared with it, anyone's life is nothing.

He wants to keep these wealth.

Only by keeping these wealth can the Lonely Mountain Dwarves have hope.

He wanted to explain this logic to all the dwarves present, but he couldn't say it at all.

He could only say in a deep voice: "We can't waste any more time. We need to find the heart of the mountain as soon as possible. Only when I find the heart of the mountain can I become recognized as the legal King of the Lone Mountain, and the other dwarf tribes must also Heed my call."

Balin said with tears streaming down his face: "Then Qili and the others really don't care?"

Thorin sighed heavily, "When I get the heart of the mountain and gather all the troops of the dwarf kingdom, we will go to attack Smaug and avenge our kin."

Baring burst into tears.

If he had a glimmer of illusion and hope for Sorin just now, that glimmer of illusion and hope was completely shattered now.

Sorin emphasized his tone, "Okay, don't wait any longer, and go find the heart of the mountain for me!"

"Yes..." The dwarves involuntarily looked in the direction of Changhu Town as they walked towards the lonely mountain and into the palace.

Bilbo shook his head helplessly and sighed.

He couldn't understand Thorin's behavior, he felt that Thorin had become a completely different person.

Bilbo knew where the Heart of the Mountain was, but he had no intention of telling Thorin.

He felt that Thorin had become so crazy before he got the heart of the mountain. If Thorin got the heart of the mountain, then the whole Middle-earth world might not be peaceful.

Bilbo did find the heart of the mountain in the pile of gold, and when he was running away, he handed the heart of the mountain to Xufeng. Therefore, as long as Xufeng didn't take it out, Thorin and the others would be forever. Can't find the Heart of the Mountain.
