The system has to be used even if it is pulled

Zhao Yuanlang was filled with demonic energy, and countless demonic energy surrounded Smaug. The gate of the Shadow Kingdom behind him suddenly opened. The Holy Lord looked at the wrapped Smaug and spit out fire with disdain.

"Send it in, and it will be your mount from now on."

The Holy Lord's eyes flashed red, and he excitedly used the power of the talisman to send Smaug's huge body into the Kingdom of Shadows.

.......

The moon rose higher and higher, and the howling cold wind blew across the earth mercilessly, rolling the white smoke into huge pillars and blowing the broken clouds into the dark forest.

There were many broken and shabby boats floating on the lake, and the sound of the wind was accompanied by the wailing of the people of Long Lake Town. They lamented the destruction of the village and the damage to their property and houses. They blamed Smaug and the dwarves, but they would not blame themselves for their greed.

They saw the huge figure of Zhao Yuanlang, and they firmly believed that it was God who came to save them, and Smaug could not be alive.

The flames of Long Lake Town were still raging. The survivors were tearfully rescuing those who were still alive from the ruins. However, some people were different. Alfred was busy looking for any wealth he could see from the ruins, and he even snatched gold coins from women and children.

The sun rose, and the morning glow filled the sky, confirming the bloody misery of last night. In the end, less than half of the residents escaped alive, and they landed on the shore in the cold wind.

There were countless wounded people. The most dangerous thing for them at this time was not hunger, but wounds! They had no medicine and could not get treatment. Some people's wounds had begun to become infected, causing a low fever in the cold morning wind.

People were starving, and whenever someone found something to eat from the lake or the forest, they would fight for it, and blood would flow by the lake.

This is human nature.

.......

The dwarves of Lonely Mountain also saw that scene. They thought that Smaug would not survive. Now Thorin's only worry was wealth. There was wealth here that was hard to refuse. They were only a few people and they had no way to protect the wealth. The dwarves looked at Thorin's back and didn't know what to say.

Archer Bard struggled to climb out of the lake and was found by his son Barn.

Bard was happy to see his family members intact. Tired Bard felt a little relieved, but soon, this relief was gone. Because everyone looked at Bard with admiration. After all, he was the first person who challenged the dragon alive. They unknowingly regarded Bard as their new leader.

Legolas failed to chase the Bog and returned to Lake-town. He found Kili and Tariel on the shore, talking nonsense, and he destroyed their sweet world of two.

The dwarves knew that it was not a good idea for them to stay here. After all, the destruction of Long Lake Town had an indirect relationship with the dwarves. They took advantage of people's inattention and slipped away. They wanted to go to Lonely Mountain to meet Thorin.

Zhao Yuanlang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked slowly down the hill, and the people who had been surrounding Bud saw him.

Special effects must be there. Zhao Yuanlang exudes a warm glow all over his body, holding the Pope's scepter inlaid with a golden apple in his hand, and flowers bloom under his feet with every step he takes.

Alfred immediately ran to Zhao Yuanlang's feet, knelt on the ground, showed the highest respect to Zhao Yuanlang, and even knelt on the ground and kissed Zhao Yuanlang's feet with his mouth.

The other people looked at Alfred with some contempt, but they also knelt on the ground to express their respect for Zhao Yuanlang.

Bud was different. He looked at Zhao Yuanlang and didn't kneel down. His wife and children were pulling him back, and finally he knelt down on one knee.

Zhao Yuanlang looked at Alfred who kept kissing his feet speechlessly. He discovered that his panel had a financial skill of 7. However, the eye-catching greed and cunning behind it also made Zhao Yuanlang speechless.

"Sharpshooter Bard, you did a great job. Would you like to come to my kingdom of God?" Zhao Yuanlang gently waved his hand to push Alfred away from his feet, looking at Bard with a smile.

Bud did not answer immediately. After careful consideration, he said, "I don't want to. My compatriots are here, this is my hometown, and my wife and children are here. I can't leave them."

Bud's words were moving, especially because his wife and children were in tears. People did not expect that Bud would give up God's invitation for them.

"It is very rude to reject a god. It is an insult to God! Bud, are you sure you want to do this?"

Zhao Yuanlang's cold gaze made everyone shudder. Bud didn't dare to look directly at Zhao Yuanlang, but finally said firmly: "I am sure."

"Okay, Bud, you missed an opportunity. Goodbye!" Zhao Yuanlang turned and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Zhao Yuanlang looked at Bud who stood up. People thought that Bud had changed his mind, especially his family looked a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, Bard?" Zhao Yuanlang summoned the lion Nemian and turned over and sat on it lightly.

People were stunned. They had never seen such a huge lion. God was indeed omnipotent. Many people lowered their heads even lower.

"Honorable God, you are so merciful and have such a broad mind. Look at these people. They are short of food and clothing, and many of them are injured. Please have mercy on them and save them!"

Bud's words were so touching that some of the refugees even shed tears. They were impressed by Bud's noble character.

"I refuse!" Zhao Yuanlang said mercilessly.

As soon as Zhao Yuanlang finished speaking, the entire refugee group seemed to have witnessed their impending death. They were somewhat unwilling to accept it. Why didn't God save them? Could it be Bard? Some people, especially Alfred, began to hate Bard.

"Why! Is it because I rejected you? But they are innocent!" Bud argued. He didn't want to give up. If it was really because of him, he was willing to agree to the god's request.

"You are wrong. It's not because of you. Look at their hateful eyes towards you. They blame you for everything, but they don't think about themselves. Everything has its cause and effect. They coveted the treasure of Lonely Mountain, which was the cause. Smaug destroyed Long Lake Town, which was the effect. They are atonement for their greed. Goodbye, Bard, we will meet again!"

Zhao Yuanlang's words made all the refugees in Lake Town feel ashamed. It was indeed true. If it weren't for their greed, they wouldn't have allowed Smaug, who was stirred up by the dwarves, to come to Lake Town for revenge.

Bud looked at Zhao Yuanlang who was walking away, and stood on the ground in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

But life must go on, and they must take action in order to survive. Bard organized people to rescue everything that could be rescued, and even sent people to the Woodland Kingdom to seek help from Thranduil.

Little did they know that the elves had already received the news, because the birds were cheering in the forest in the early morning. Thranduil learned from the birds' conversation that Smaug had disappeared, and might even be dead, so he felt it was time to act.

The elves' army is gathering, and they have only one goal, and that is Lonely Mountain!
