Chapter 78 Reserves

The prison door was locked again, and Alfred, who was lying on the ground, was thrown in. Before leaving, the dwarves picked up some garbage to block the window so that people outside could not see clearly what was going on inside.

"Perfect."

A group of people sneaked back to Bard's house and took the black arrow.

"This is simply a heavy spear. I don't think an ordinary bow can shoot it."

"We need to use the wind crossbow in the center of town."

Bard raised his head and looked into the distance, and the dwarves followed him.

"That is a big killer, I can see it."

"Are we going to lure the dragon here?"

"No, that would be too much of a loss to Long Lake Town."

"Borrow from the mayor?"

"Do you think he will lend us the wind crossbow based on the reputation of the people in this place?"

"Damn it, who are the people who control this place!"

"If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to take it away directly."

"Yes, take it away!"

"Just do it, let's go!"

"Wait, wait, there are many guards in the center of town." Bard hurriedly stopped.

"We can wait until night. There are only a few patrols at night, and there is a large gap. We have plenty of time to take it away."

"There is no time, Uncle Bard."

Thorin looked at him and said, "We can wait, but the dragon can't wait. It is now thinking about coming out to wipe out everyone."

"The sooner this happens, the better. Moreover, no matter how many guards there are, they can't stop the determined dwarves."

"This... that's fine."

As soon as they said it, following the route provided by Bard, the dwarves came to the bottom of the sentry tower equipped with wind crossbows. The residents around looked curiously, especially when they saw Bard, some people showed a little surprise.

"Bard? You are not caught..."

"Shh——"

"I have something important to do."

The residents looked at each other, exchanged glances, and began to take the initiative to cover Bard.

"The guards are coming!"

"Ah, my stall!"

Just as the guards were about to come over, a resident screamed and "accidentally" knocked down his stall, blocking the road.

"Oh my god, how long will it take me to clean up!"

"I'll help you!"

The residents around spontaneously came over and gathered together to help the resident who accidentally knocked over the stall to clean up, but after waiting for most of the day, they still couldn't clean up.

Until the guards began to get impatient and were ready to do it themselves, the group of people dispersed and went to do their own things.

The guards continued to patrol and did not find anything unusual.

In the sentry tower, two unconscious soldiers were lying on the haystack and were covered, and the dwarves had already climbed up.

"But such a big crossbow, how can we take it away?"

Bard really couldn't think of how to carry this thing down. Looking at the size and material of the crossbow, it would be difficult to lift it without four or five strong men.

"Ha, you underestimate the dwarves too much. It was built with our technology, and of course it can be disassembled with our technology."

In this dwarf team, there are relatively few professional warriors, and there are more craftsmen.

But at this time, the craftsman was more useful. Soon, this wind crossbow, which was bigger than a whole dwarf, was dismantled into a pile of parts of different sizes, which were carried by the dwarves.

"It's time to go!"

The dwarves took action at the same time.

At the prison, a man knocked on the door frantically, shouting: "Open the door, open the door for me!"

The guards passing by heard the shouting in the prison, and shouted on the spot, saying: "Stop shouting! Without the order of the mayor, you will never get out!"

"You idiots, you don't even know that the honorable deputy of Changhu Town is imprisoned here, open the door and let me out!"

Ah?

The guards quickly poked the garbage stuck on the iron window down, and when they looked inside, there was indeed a familiar face with swollen eyes.

The prison door opened immediately.

"Quick, catch Bard, the reactionary guy, he escaped from prison!"

Under Alfred's order, Changhu Town immediately entered a state of alert, and the guards were dispatched in large numbers, shuttling through the town.

However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not find the person they were looking for. Instead, they encountered many obstacles along the way. Either the potted plants in this flower shop fell down, or the nets of that fisherman were lying across the road. After walking for a while, there would be some obstacles, which made the guards very uncomfortable.

Until dark, the guards could not find Bard.

Long ago, he had already left the town smoothly with the dwarves.

"Brother Bard, it seems that I still underestimated your influence."

On the way, Balin talked to the respected sharpshooter: "I think with your reputation, you can overthrow the corrupt mayor at any time if you want, and you don't even need to do it. The people will spontaneously push you up."

"Maybe."

Bard shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

The dragon-slaying weapon is on its way to Lonely Mountain.

But Levi will not put all his hopes on this. Even if there is no black arrow, a must-kill item in destiny, it is not impossible to kill a cunning dragon that likes to run around at any time.

Following the route provided by Thorin, Levi soon dug into the processing room without Smaug noticing.

"Oh——"

As soon as he entered, Levi opened his eyes wide.

With this material reserve and this richness of props, at this moment, Levi was even happier than a mouse in an oil tank.

[Synthesis added: Flare Bomb]

In the processing room, Levi successfully saw the explosive bomb mentioned by the dwarves, but it was just some semi-finished products and shells, but this was enough for Levi to unlock its synthesis.

After a rough look, the power of the flare bomb is quite good, with eight points of damage and a small splash range. In terms of power, it is far inferior to TNT.

However, it also has advantages, that is, it is thrown and explodes as soon as it lands, which is much more convenient than TNT, which needs to be placed and ignited and waits for several seconds before exploding. Moreover, it requires less materials than TNT, and one gunpowder can synthesize a bomb.

In addition, the flare bomb has a special buff: blinding.

If you open your eyes and face it directly when it explodes, you will be blinded for a few seconds and can't see anything clearly.

In this way, this thing is still good and has some uses, which is equivalent to the Middle-earth version of the flash bomb.

After making some flare bombs and storing them in his backpack, Levi opened the material box next to him and took a look.

Sulfur, saltpeter, carbon powder, and some pre-mixed gunpowder - everything needed to make bombs, they are all here.

Moreover, since it is an important processing site for dwarves, there is not only gunpowder, but also a lot of other raw materials piled up. As long as you want to find some, you can basically find some, including sand and paper.

Yes, there is also paper.

As the old saying goes, paper cannot cover fire.

But it can cover gunpowder.

With a huge reserve of materials, Levi directly made a lot of TNT, flare bombs, and some fireworks for experiments.
