Chapter 265 Orcs attack at night, dwarves’ guard room

Changhu Town.

Borg led a group of orcs slowly forward on the roof, carefully looking for the target.

Since there was no boat, they were blocked by the huge lake for a long time and finally managed to catch up.

"The nasty dwarf is nearby, I smell it."

Following the scent of the dwarves, Borg continuously sifted through numerous houses and narrowed the search scope to the vicinity of Bard's house.

In the room, Biff looked at the steaming casserole boredly, "Kili, just hold on for a few more minutes and you'll be fine soon."

"Thank you." Qili nodded weakly.

"I'm going to see my father!" Sigrid held up a piece of clothing. "I'm a little worried about him guarding me alone on the bell tower."

However, as soon as she walked to the door, Aaron's missing body grabbed her right hand that opened the door.

"you..."

Sigrid's face turned slightly red, and before she could say anything, the missing body pulled him back.

"Something is not right." The Missing Body glanced at the people in the room with a solemn look, "Barn, you and your two sisters hide under the table and protect them.

Bifur, Bofur, take your weapons and guard your curiosity. "

"Is the dragon coming?" Bofur asked.

"It's not Smaug, but it's not much better." The missing body said seriously, "I heard dense footsteps, and the nearest ones were above our heads."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Barn and the others still didn't know why, but the three dwarves had already realized who the enemy was.

After the three siblings hid, the missing body picked up a long sword and slowly walked to the door.

Without any surprise, the moment the door opened, an Oak roared and rushed over.

puff!

The missing body stabbed him in the chest with a sword, then kicked him into the lake and quickly closed the door.

"Bad news, we're surrounded."

As soon as he finished speaking, the back door was suddenly opened, and an orc rushed in with a short knife.

At the same time, three orcs jumped in from the roof one after another.

Seeing the vicious and ugly orc appear in their home in this way, Sigrid and Tilda panicked and screamed.

Bofur stood guard in front of Kili's bed with an axe, while Bifur picked up a hammer and stood in front of the table.

"Protect them."

The missing body quickly raised the sword and stepped forward, one against four, without falling behind.

When he was training at home, he always started with ten, and all four orcs were eliminated in less than half a minute.

The three siblings were all stunned and looked at Aaron in disbelief.

They can barely kill fish now, but they can already kill five orcs.

"Don't be distracted, our situation is still very dangerous."

A moment later, another wave of orcs rushed in. Not only did their number double, but their number continued to increase.

The missing body cannot cover everything, and a melee is about to break out.

Fortunately, unexpected reinforcements appeared at this time. Two elves, Tariel and Legolas, joined the battlefield, and the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced.

The orcs were killed one after another, and one of them jumped from the back door onto the wooden boat on the lake and conveyed the situation inside the house to Borg, "Oakshield is not here."

Borg growled angrily, feeling unwilling to do so, but the main target was not there, and he did not want to waste his troops.

"Retreat, meet on the bridge."

Borg chose to retreat without any hesitation, and the orcs who sent him the message were miserable.

The body of a companion was thrown to the stern of the boat by Legolas, and he who was standing at the bow was lifted up. Legolas seized the opportunity and used his two swords as scissors to cut off his head.

"So cruel." The missing body curled his lips, "But no matter how cruel you are to Oak, you can't be too cruel."

"Are they all dead?" Barn asked.

"Of course not, there are at least dozens of them outside." The missing body said helplessly, "We are lucky, Borg's target is Thorin, otherwise it would be a hard battle."

"We can't let them leave like this." Legolas looked at the retreating orcs, "Tauriel, let's chase them."

"Wait a moment." The missing body stopped him and stretched out his right hand, "Wand, it's time for you to return it to me, and you must return it to me.

Smaug is attacking Laketown tonight and I need my weapons. "

"Evil dragon?" Legolas was a little doubtful, "Are you sure?"

“That’s what the prophecy says, and I and the descendants of the former mayor of Changhu Town are already prepared to deal with it.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't give it back to me. I'm also proficient in casting spells without a wand, but I still feel a little uncomfortable without anything in my hand. "

Legolas hesitated for a moment, then took out two wands, one black and one white, from behind his waist, "Whether what you say is true or not, my father's..."

"I'll take care of it."

"That's good, Tariel, let's go."

Tariel was stunned for a moment, then turned his attention to the injured Kili, and after a moment of confusion, he was about to leave.

Missing felt the deep affection and reluctance shown in Qili's eyes, and was speechless in her heart, but she still said, "Your Highness, can you lend me Tauriel for one night?"

"What did you say?" Legolas glared fiercely, his left hand already placed on the quiver behind his back. If Aaron didn't give him a reasonable explanation, don't blame him for falling out.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want her to protect the three siblings.

Their father and I will fight Smaug in the bell tower, and we may not be able to care about them then, so... I mean, we can't let the warriors feel cold. "

"Tauriel, what do you think?"

Tariel let out a long sigh, then nodded.

Legolas was not surprised by her decision and was about to leave immediately to hunt down the Orcs alone.

"Hold on."

Legolas staggered and looked at Aaron unhappily, "Can you finish what you want to say at once?"

The missing body smiled awkwardly but politely, "There is no need for her now. Just wait until you come back in time after hunting down Oak."

Legolas was stunned for a moment, and his mood improved a lot, "Let's go."

After the two elves left, the Missing Body walked up to Kili with a look of disgust on his face and asked, "I'll leave an elf for you. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Thank you." Qili held Aaron's hands gratefully, "Brother, you will be my brother from now on."

The corners of Missing Body's eyes twitched, why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?

...

Lonely mountain, Yirubo.

Aaron and Bilbo ran around the corner of the stairs, losing their invisibility at the same time.

"As expected of the last dragon in Middle-earth, this destructive power is really terrifying!" Aaron quietly stretched out his head and found that Smaug was washing the ground with dragon flames, and couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue.

"Don't worry about that, it's important to escape." Bilbo said anxiously, pulling Aaron and climbing up the steps.

But when he reached the second platform, he met Thorin who was panting.

"Are you still alive?"

"We don't have much time to live, the dragon is coming for us," said Bilbo.

"Have you found the Arken Stone?"

"Good luck." Aaron nodded and walked towards the passage behind Thorin.

Ding!

A sword stopped in front of the passage. Thorin blocked the two people's way and said coldly: "Arken Gem."

Aaron frowned. He originally thought that Smaug was being alarmist, but now it seems that the Arken Stone can indeed affect people's minds.

"Let's get out of here first," said Bilbo.

Thorin pointed his sword directly at Bilbo, forcing him to step back.

"Give me."

"I, that gem, actually..."

Just as Bilbo was about to explain something, he heard deep breathing not far away.

The three of them turned around subconsciously and met a pair of cold, vertical eyes.

Smaug discovered them. The red light on his abdomen was clearly visible in the not-so-bright palace, and continued to extend toward his long neck.

At this time, the rest of the dwarves also ran out of the passage and lined up to face the dragon.

"I will burn you to death." Smaug said, taking a few steps to stand in front of everyone.

"Run!"

Everyone immediately jumped down the steps, narrowly avoiding the fierce red dragon flames.

There happened to be an entrance to the passage under the steps, and everyone quickly got inside without a moment's hesitation.

boom!

Smaug aimed his mouth at the ceiling and sprayed dragon flames. The flames spread over a wide area. Thorin, the last person to pass through the passage, was affected by the dragon flames and ignited his clothes.

"Clear spring is like water."

Aaron threw a stream of water onto Thorin Mountain, helping him put out the fire.

Then everyone moved forward cautiously along the passage, turned several turns and came to a long aisle.

"We got rid of it," Doli said in a low voice.

"No." Dwalin shook his head, "It's so cunning."

"Where are we going now?" asked Bilbo.

"Go to the guardhouse to the west," Thorin said. "There may be a way to escape there."

"It's too high there and it's impossible to escape." Bahrain objected.

"That's our only chance, so we have to give it a try." Thorin said, leading everyone to tiptoe up the aisle.

But when they escaped to the guard room, what they saw was bones covered with spider webs everywhere.

The exit was blocked by huge rocks. Dozens or hundreds of dwarves starved to death here, and even a few babies could be seen among them.

"The bones of our compatriots." Bahrain's voice was heavy. "They must have come here with great hope."

"Shocking! This is the price of hope turning into despair." Aaron pursed his lips, "There should be no other way here, or there is only one way we can go, go back and kill Smaug."

"Together, we are no match for it." Dvalin said, "We can survive for a few days hiding here, but if we go out, we will probably die in the flames."

"That's better than waiting to die here." Aaron spread his hands, "There is a chance of survival if you fight to the death, but if you stay here, you will definitely die.

You and your dwarf compatriots will turn into mummies and stay in this desperate place forever, but I will definitely not die.

You may not believe it, but this is not a desperate situation for me. "

Bilbo believed in Aaron. He had seen Aaron's magic with his own eyes. If anyone could escape from Smaug, it would be him.
