Chapter 121 The Serpent That Eats Smaug
"Thranduil, this is the kingdom of my dwarves."

"Anyone who wants to take treasure from here must obtain the consent of the dwarves."

Although there is a huge gap in momentum between the two sides, Thorin, as the leader of the dwarves, still wants to declare his authority, which can be regarded as boosting the morale of others in disguise.

Fight for support until the Iron Hills dwarf warriors come to your rescue.

And actually.

For Thorin, all he really wanted was the Arkon Gem.

Because it represents rights.

It is equivalent to the jade seal of the ancient dynasty in the real world.

There is no problem even if the white gemstone necklace is returned to the Elven King.

The essential.

It's not that he hasn't got the gem yet.

If the elves are allowed to enter the castle of Iruber and know the existence of the giant snake in the treasury, not only will it affect his original plan, but his reputation for killing the dragon Smaug will also disappear.

You must know that the outside world is now rumored that the dwarves led by him killed the dragon Smaug.

This can definitely be called an unimaginable glory, and it is even more impossible for an elf king to obtain.

Having enjoyed the benefits brought by this glory, Sorin is not willing to discard it.

It can only be said that he has fallen into his own greed.

Just after Thorin finished speaking, Gandalf stepped out of the elf army, raised his eyes to look at Thorin on the city wall, and began to repeat what he said to Thranduil.

"Thorin."

"Now that the Orc army is about to arrive, now is not the time for a war between the dwarves and the elves. Is there anything we can sit down and discuss slowly?"

The voice just fell.

Hearing Sorin above, he refused.

And the tone is decisive.

"I will never allow the elves to step into the kingdom of the dwarves."

Thranduil had bought the dwarves' selfishness and arrogance long ago, and the delay until now is purely for Gandalf's sake.

Since there is no possibility of peace talks right now, the only way to speak is to use combat power.

Whoever is strong will have the right to speak.

And the right to control the wealth in the treasure house of the Lonely Mountain.

"The whole army is ready."

"Attack, take this castle."

As Thranduil officially issued the attack order, the elf army drew their bows and arrows one after another.

The battle is imminent.

Although Gandalf didn't want to see this scene happen, his words had no effect so far, and it was impossible for the armies of both sides to listen to his order from an outsider.

But when the elf army was about to attack the castle, there was a sudden violent tremor from the ground under their feet.

It seems that there are thousands of troops and horses galloping.

next second.

A large number of heavily armored dwarf warriors riding battle sheep appeared in everyone's sight from behind.

Leading the charge on the war pig was the ruler of the Iron Hills.

Danny II.

Obviously at the critical moment, the reinforcements belonging to the dwarves finally arrived at the Lonely Mountain in time.

Looking around, it was dark.

There are thousands of soldiers.

"asshole!"

Seeing this scene, Thranduil couldn't help cursing secretly.

Knowing that he missed the opportunity just now.

If it hadn't been for agreeing to Gandalf's request and negotiating with Thorin here, I am afraid that the elf army would have taken down Lonely Mountain Castle before the dwarves from Iron Hills arrived.

It is a pity that the situation has reversed now, and it is useless to regret.

In desperation, Thranduil had no choice but to order the army to temporarily turn around and attack the dwarf warriors behind him.

"Fire arrows."

As the order was issued, arrows rained all over the sky from the elf army, flying towards the dwarf warriors in the Iron Hills.

However, the dwarf warriors led by Dane II have all participated in battles with orcs, and they can be said to be very powerful and experienced.

Almost at the same time, a special weapon was launched to intercept the arrow rain in midair.

But at this moment, for Sorin on the city wall, he was undoubtedly very excited.

The frown that was originally furrowed was finally relaxed.

"Our reinforcements have arrived."

He repeated this sentence excitedly.

But they didn't notice that at this time Bilbo had left the position of the city wall along the lowered rope.

Anyway.

As a Hobbit, he is neutral, so it is naturally impossible for him to participate in the war between the dwarves and the elves.

So choosing to leave at this time is the most appropriate way.

At the same time, he also intends to inform Gandalf of the existence of the giant snake in the treasury.

Because it was Gandalf who found him to participate in the expedition of the dwarves, he trusted Gandalf very much.

-

War always comes with sacrifices.

This time is no exception.

When the dwarves rushed into the elf army on their battle sheep, blood and death soon appeared on each of them.

If it continues like this, it will inevitably be a lose-lose scene in the end.

But who is willing to give up now.

However, what they didn't know was that the orc army and the wolf army led by Pogue had already arrived near the Lonely Mountain. After learning that Smaug was dead and the treasure house was unguarded, they immediately mobilized the whole army to attack the treasure house. attack.

Orcs and Wargs followed closely behind, as overwhelming numbers of giant warbats entered the fray.

Coupled with the huge war beast.

The situation of the battle turned upside down in an instant.

Regardless of dwarves or elves, half-orcs are their common enemy.

At this time, Thranduil finally believed that what Gandalf said was true, but facing the orc army far outnumbering them, there was no way to safely evacuate.

Only fight to the death.

So at the critical moment, Thranduil and Dane II temporarily reached an agreement to join forces to deal with the half-orcs.

It's a pity that the orcs are too powerful. Together with the giant bats in the air and the army of wargs and war beasts on the ground, they formed a combined land and air attack.

This caused the elves and dwarves to retreat steadily, causing countless casualties.

Even Sorin on the city wall saw so many dwarf compatriots die, and finally defeated his inner greed, and chose to tear down the stone wall and lead the crowd to rush out to support.

at the same time.

Relying on the power of the Lord of the Rings, Bilbo came to Gandalf smoothly, and told the situation of the treasure house without any hesitation.

"Smaug the dragon was not killed by us."

"It was eaten by a giant snake in the treasury, and the giant snake made a deal with Thorin."

what?
Eaten by a giant snake?
After hearing what Bilbo said, Gandalf, as a powerful wizard, still couldn't hide his surprise and shock.

In any case, he couldn't think of any kind of giant snake that could kill the mighty dragon Smaug.

It's hard to believe.

But Gandalf believed that what Bilbo said could never be false.

And maybe it was to prove to Bilbo that just when several forces were all participating in the war, a huge snake with dark emerald-colored dense thorn-like scales crawled out from the gate of the castle.

He hovered up, looking down at the dwarf elves and half-orcs in front of him.

It was as if the gods were examining their own people.

Although it is not as large and vicious as the dragon Smaug, it has a special aura that makes people unable to resist surrender, which makes everyone tremble from the depths of their souls.
