Chapter 103 The Destruction of Changhu Town(1/2)

"You said you found a cave entrance for Smaug to enter and exit the dungeon on the Lonely Mountain?"

After Gao Yuan heard how Bahrain and the others discovered the cave entrance, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground in shock.

This is another plot that has never appeared in the movie, and in Mr. Tolkien's book, this is just a foreshadowing that is difficult to attract other people's attention. In the original work, this foreshadowing has no relevant follow-up plot at all.

But in reality, it does make sense. After Thorin's grandfather, Thor, led his people to leave the Lonely Mountain, Smaug would occasionally leave the underground city and attack humans and dwarves near Riverdale Town.

"Didn't you tell me that there are only two entrances and exits in Gushan, why is there suddenly an extra vent?" Gao Yuan asked, looking closely into Thorin's eyes.

I saw Thorin shaking his head blankly: "I only knew about the existence of that vent not long ago. When I left Gushan, I was only twenty-four years old. For this kind of secret matter, my grandfather and father

He has never mentioned it to me."

Gao Yuan sighed. It was useless to worry about it at this time. The most important thing now was to prevent Smaug from leaving the dungeon. Smaug, who had escaped from the dwarf hall, had disappeared.

Compared with the evil dragon who has lived in the Lonely Mountain for more than a hundred years, he is far less familiar with the terrain of the underground city than Smaug, and he has no idea where the secret vent is located in the underground city. Now he wants to

It is simply impossible to catch up and stop the opponent.

Gao Yuan could only choose to take a shortcut. The only thing he knew so far was that the entrance to the underground city was located on the high ground directly above the secret door.

If he was fast enough, he could still reach the cave entrance before Smaug left the dungeon.

Gao Yuan stopped talking nonsense with the dwarves. After asking them which passage they entered the dwarf hall through, he turned around and flew into the passage. Only a few dwarves and Bilbo remained on the ground looking at each other.

.

When Gao Yuan came to the secret door through which they entered the underground city and saw the collapsed secret door, he had an urge to curse. He really shot himself in the foot, and was tricked by Thorin and others.

Once upon a time.

They must have known the fact that the secret door had collapsed, but they did not mention this matter to Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan snorted coldly, and without saying a word, he condensed two fireballs in his hands.

Two fireballs hit the boulder blocking the secret door, causing a violent explosion and stirring up countless debris and dust.

By the time Gao Yuan exploded the collapsed secret door, more than five minutes had passed, and his forehead was already covered with tiny beads of sweat.

On the one hand, it was because Gao Yuan was anxious to rush out of the secret door; on the other hand, it was caused by his high-intensity use of telekinesis.

After rushing out of the secret door, Gao Yuan immediately jumped into the air and arrived at the high ground mentioned by Thorin and others.

But he was still a step too late. At this time, Smaug had already climbed up from the entrance of the cave. He stood on the edge of the cliff, spread his huge wings, and jumped up from the cliff.

The air flow generated by the dragon flapping its wings caught Gao Yuan off guard. As soon as he reached the high ground, countless gravel and dust hit him directly in the face.

Dust flew into his eyes, and by the time Gao Yuan regained his sight, Smaug had already flown a considerable distance away.

Gao Yuan looked at the figure of Smaug flying in the direction of Changhu Town, and cursed secretly that it was bad luck. He must have not read the almanac when entering the Lonely Mountain today, which caused everything to go wrong.

Against all odds, Smaug still escaped from the Lonely Mountain Dungeon according to the plot in the original work. Without looking at the direction of Smaug's flight, he knew that it had already headed to Lake Town, where it would start a massacre.

Gao Yuan glanced at the mental energy value displayed on the system panel. After such a long period of recovery, even though he had consumed a lot of energy when opening the secret door, there was still about three-fifths of the energy value left at this time.

, this is high enough to fight Smaug again.

At this time, the night in Gushan was already very deep. In other seasons, near Erebor, one could always see the stars in the sky surrounding the moon like stars over the moon.

The bright moonlight is like the light emitted by a huge street lamp, illuminating every inch of the entire Gushan.

Maybe it's because winter has entered, or because tomorrow's weather is not very good, the sky near Gushan is filled with thick dark clouds, and even a layer of white mist rises from the ground.

Through the thick clouds, the outline of the huge moon can be vaguely seen, and the mottled moonlight shines on the earth through the weaker parts of the clouds.

Legolas and others stationed in the valley to the west of the Lonely Mountain spent the whole night in fear. The two brothers Ori and Nori sent by Balin had already found Smaug and there was an exit on the top of the mountain.

told them what happened.

This resulted in them not daring to let down their guard all night, especially after the shock in the Lonely Mountain ended and Legolas knew that the battle in the Lonely Mountain was probably over. He had no way of knowing who had achieved the final victory.

victory.

They had been paying attention to the sky to the south in the direction of the Lonely Mountain, for fear that an evil dragon would suddenly fly out of the Lonely Mountain, fly above their heads, and attack them. Even the bonfires in the camp had long been ordered by Legolas.

People were extinguished to prevent them from being discovered by Smaug.

Living up to Legolas's "anticipation" all night long, he finally saw the evil dragon he had been waiting for appear.

Under the hazy moonlight, a huge golden dragon jumped down from the cliff of a lonely mountain. It flapped its huge wings and soared in the clouds.

The sound of the dragon flapping its wings could still be faintly transmitted to Legolas's ears even from such a long distance. But fortunately, the direction of the flight of the dragon he had been staring at was not in the same direction.

It's not the location of the elf camp. It seems that it hasn't discovered their existence yet.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Not long after the dragon's figure left the Lonely Mountain, Legolas saw again, a small black shadow leaping up from the cliff where Smaug left,

Like a missile that locked onto its target, it flew straight in the direction of Smaug.

Gao Yuan was currently speeding over the ruins of River Valley City at the foot of Gushan Mountain. His eyes were always staring at the evil dragon in front of him. Although Gao Yuan had increased his flying speed to the limit, there was always an uneasy connection between the two.

small distance.

Every time he saw himself getting closer and closer to Smaug, Smaug would flap his wings once, suddenly increase his flying speed, and then distance the two people.

"I am the fire that burns all, I am...death."

Smaug looked at the Lake Town, which was almost in front of him. It seemed to be announcing to the humans living there that their death was about to come.

At this time, Changhu Town was actually in chaos even before Smaug arrived.

Although this time, the dwarves did not pass through the territory of Changhu Town, and they had never interacted with the humans here. But when Gao Yuan made some noise for the first time in Gushan, he was very concerned about the people who had been entrenched in Gushan all year round.

The fearful and vigilant residents of Changhu Town reacted quickly to the evil dragon.

Most of the residents of Changhu Town like to hide indoors during this season, because at night, the biting cold wind blows from the lonely mountains in the north. This is why the lake water in Changhu Town has already begun when winter has just begun.

The cause of freezing.

However, there are still some people who like to walk on the streets and watch the stars twinkling in the sky above the lake. Among them are the direct descendants of the former Lord of River Valley City, Girion, who is the archer Bard in the movie.

Viewed from their town, most of Gushan's mountain range is blocked by hills, so it looks a bit inconspicuous from the other end of the long lake.

The water of Benliu River flows into Chang Lake from an inlet in the north. Only in clear weather can they see the top of Gushan. But usually they are not willing to focus on it.

Because they were all descendants of the residents of River Valley Town, everyone knew that there was still an evil dragon entrenched in the ruins of the underground city in Lonely Mountain.

Even though it has not appeared in people's sight for sixty years, the fear of the evil dragon has been rooted in their hearts.

Originally, after entering winter, Gushan had been completely shrouded in darkness, but today there was a sudden vibration from Gushan, causing the clouds and darkness that originally shrouded Gushan to gradually dissipate, and it appeared from the darkness again.

In front of everyone.

Just when everyone walked out of the house in confusion and didn't understand what happened, the sharp archer Bard had a gloomy face and quickly ran to the mayor of Changhu Town: "The evil dragon is coming, someone is alarmed

Killed the evil dragon in the lonely mountain!"

But the retired mayor didn't think so. He thought this was just Bud's alarmism.

Seeing that this hateful guy didn't believe his words, Bud secretly climbed to the tallest bell tower in the center of Changhu Town and rang the big bell to warn the residents of the town.

As the bell echoed over Changhu Town, Bud shouted loudly from the bell tower: "The evil dragon is coming. Someone has alarmed the evil dragon in the Lonely Mountain..."

Such a big movement naturally alarmed all the residents in the town, and they gathered around the bell tower at the foot of Bud.

The angry mayor ordered people to climb up the bell tower to catch Bud, who was spreading rumors everywhere, but he easily escaped.

His warning was effective. Even after the mayor's explanation, people still chose to believe Bud's words.

They returned to their homes one after another, packed their belongings, took their families with them, and prepared their boats. When the evil dragon really came, they would immediately start escaping from Changhu Town.

Why are the residents of the town willing to believe Bard's words and react so quickly? This is actually due to their heartfelt fear of Smaug. On the other hand, Bard is in the hearts of the residents of Lake Town.

, still somewhat prestigious.

He once predicted floods and the appearance of poisonous fish. The residents of the town are well aware of his courage and character. He is a direct descendant of Girion, the king of Riverdale.

Changhu Town is destined to be very lively tonight. Even though it is late at night, the lights are still bright here and everyone is preparing to escape.

Even the mayor who had been unwilling to believe Bard's "lies" was directing his men to load all the treasures into the boat.

As time went by, the noise coming from Gushan became louder and louder, until the lake below their feet began to show ripples. In fact, this happened to be caused by the earthquake caused by Gao Yuan.

This made people more confirmed that the noise was indeed caused by the evil dragon in the lonely mountain.

Even though Bard's warning was timely enough, people still did not evacuate immediately. They still had some last chance. They would not leave their homes unless they saw Smaug coming with their own eyes.

Therefore, Bard secretly organized a group of archers to protect their homeland.

Even if they cannot protect their own home, they must at least cover the evacuation of the residents of Changhu Town. Those sitting on the boat waiting for evacuation are all their family members.

The first person to see Smaug coming was Bard who was standing on the roof. As a marksman, his eyesight was naturally the best among the residents of the town.

In the dark sky, a huge black shadow swooped down from the clouds. Even though Bard had not seen the evil dragon in the Lonely Mountain with his own eyes, he still recognized Smaug at first sight.

At this moment, Bard blew the horn on the roof that symbolized the coming of the evil dragon. The sound of the horn echoed over Long Lake Town, letting everyone receive the message.

Rowing the oars in their hands, everyone wanted to escape immediately.

But unexpectedly, it seems that the waterway leaving Changhu Town is blocked, because there are too many people who want to leave at the same time, and coupled with the obstruction of the ice floes on the water, this waterway is covered with the entire waterway.

The fleet was actually stuck in a traffic jam.

Everyone was caught in a dilemma, especially the stupid mayor. At this time, his big ship loaded with gold, silver and jewelry, after knocking over several other residents' boats, hit a private house and was completely stuck.
