The next day.

There are two more members in Thorin's returning team - Legolas and Tariel.

certainly……

Because of the conflict between the dwarves and the elves, the two elves are destined not to go together on the next trip to the Lonely Mountain. Thorin's attitude is very firm, they must stay in Hegu Town.

Regarding this.

Legolas and Tariel didn't pay attention.

They happily agreed to Thorin's request. Of course, this was mainly because of Baan's explanation and instructions. Moreover, they also had a mission to stay, which was to help Baan obtain the ancestral black arrow from Bard.

It was the only weapon that could kill the dragon Smaug.

Tauriel loved Baan deeply, and when faced with her lover's request, she naturally had no objections, agreed readily, and promised that she would definitely fulfill her mission and complete the task.

The elf prince Legolas also likes Tauriel, but he knows very well that his feelings are fruitless. What's more, the person Tauriel loves deeply is still his good friend...

so……

This elf prince, who understood justice well, completely let go of this relationship after going through some ideological struggles. Then out of care for his friends, he followed him all the way here.

indeed.

There is no danger in Hegu Town.

The humans here live a very ordinary life, and there is no regular army that can threaten Tariel's mission. But this does not mean that there will not be some unexpected situations.

after all……

Along the way, they encountered a lot of Orc warriors.

Even though Thorin and others have arrived at the Lonely Mountain at this moment, no one can guarantee that those orcs will not appear again. The mission of the elf prince Legolas is to patrol and investigate the nearby mountains to find traces of the orcs.

.

Barn asserted that the orcs would never give up.

even……

Because of Gushan's special geographical location, it is likely to become the target of the Orc army. In other words, after being unable to eliminate Thorin, Gushan and Hegu Town are very likely to become a thorn in the side of the Orc army.

You must be careful and plan ahead.

"good!"

The elf prince Legolas felt that Baan's words made sense, so he quickly contacted the elves in Mirkwood and asked them to assemble an army to prepare for emergencies.

After receiving the news from Legolas, the Elf King Thranduil was also quite decisive. Without any hesitation, he immediately issued an order and anxiously dispatched a total of 3,000 elite troops to the Lonely Mountain.

only……

His purpose is more selfish.

In fact, Thranduil did not believe what Bane and Legolas said. The main reason why he sent troops there was to put pressure on the isolated and helpless Thorin to hand over the Arkenstone.

This is his only chance.

otherwise……

Once Thorin and others have established a foothold in the Lonely Mountain, and other dwarf warriors return one after another, Thranduil will no longer have any advantage at all, relying on the location of the Lonely Mountain Castle and the temptation of endless treasures.

.

And at the same time.

Wushan's orc army and Gangbaldo's orc army also began large-scale gatherings and actions, just like in the original plot, using earth escape techniques to advance towards the Gushan area.

…

No matter what other people's circumstances are.

This way...

Thorin and his party, following the guidance of the map, successfully found the secret passage of the Lonely Mountain Castle and entered it. Among the people, only Bilbo and Barn had special auras that could enter the dragon Smaug's.

A place where treasures gather.

Regarding this.

Several dwarves had differences.

Baan was very powerful, and some of the dwarves suggested that he and Bilbo should go together to steal the Arkenstone. But Thorin firmly disagreed, and he hesitated to explain why.

at last……

The dispute ended with Baan's voluntary withdrawal.

Of course, Barn, who knew the development of the plot, would not be stupid and wait outside all the time. He bluntly said that Bilbo was likely to have accidents during his trip, such as awakening the dragon Smaug, so he had to make two preparations.

"What are you going to do?" Thorin asked with a frown.

"Deploy the trap in advance and wait for it." Barn told his plan and said: "If everything goes well for Bilbo, that would be the best. If the evil dragon is awakened, Bilbo will follow our plan.

Escape along the same route, and then everyone sniper him together. It is best to kill him in the castle, otherwise once the evil dragon escapes, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"That's right!"

These words were immediately recognized by most people.

After all, it was the legendary evil dragon, a flying super monster, and there were wall buildings in the castle to restrict its movement. I and others undoubtedly had a considerable advantage.

If it cannot be killed in this way, once the evil dragon Smaug escapes from the Lonely Mountain Castle, all the advantages will be lost. And once the evil dragon's anger is aroused, the other party will definitely take revenge on the nearby Hegu Town.

By then, all life will be in ruins, and all the blame will probably be placed on myself and others.

Never let this happen!

Then...

The dwarves agreed.

Thorin took the lead and began to explain to Barn the secret information such as the structure and specific passages of the Lonely Mountain Castle, so that Barn could quickly lay traps and ambush when Bilbo stole the Arkenstone.

at the same time.

Being familiar with the layout of the castle can also help Bilbo find the treasure of the dragon Smaug more quickly, as well as how to evacuate and avoid after a successful theft. Otherwise, he will be running around in this huge castle like a blind man.

, and there is an evil dragon following behind, it is no different from seeking death!

After a while.

Barn and Bilbo memorized the details of the distribution of Lonely Mountain Castle, and then began to act separately.

I don't know if it was the protagonist's aura that was causing trouble, or some other reason. Anyway, Bilbo was going very smoothly. Soon he found the dragon's treasure house and the Arkenstone hidden among countless treasures.

.

And at this moment, the figure of the evil dragon Smaug suddenly revealed a huge nostril from the endless treasure. Bilbo was so frightened that he almost screamed and hurriedly hid behind the stone pillar.

.

"what to do?"

"The Dragon Smaug slept directly inside countless treasures, but the Arkenstone is at the other end of the treasure. If you want to get it, you must pass by the Dragon Smaug and then come back..."

"What can I do without waking it up?"

"..."

He pondered for a moment.

In the end, Bilbo decided on his plug-in, the Lord of the Rings. Then he put it on decisively, entered the invisible state, and then began to cautiously and slowly move towards the Arkenstone...

On the other hand.

Barn began to observe the terrain and set up traps and ambush in the Lonely Mountain Castle, but he did not think that these things could really kill the evil dragon Smaug, after all, it was not a simple dragon.

Otherwise, Smaug would not have occupied the Lonely Mountain for decades, and no one could ever surrender or kill him. This is not only a matter of strength, but may also involve the setting and interference of certain rules.

in short.

Except for black arrows, any other weapons, even magic, may not be able to cause fatal injuries to the evil dragon Smaug. Although these traps and ambushes of Baan are very powerful, this is Middle-earth after all.

Even Baan's own strength has been forcibly imprisoned and reduced, what else is impossible?

What he is doing now is more of a test and interference, trying to buy as much time as possible for Legolas and Tariel outside. Moreover, Bane's purpose is not to kill the dragon Smaug.

, but conquer it!

so……

Traps and ambushes are mainly based on sealing circles.

As for how much effect it can have, it depends on how strong the rules of this world are. If these still cannot trap the evil dragon Smaug, then Bane can only take the last resort and use the black arrow as a threat.

Smaug surrendered.

Should he die in frustration and be completely enslaved, or should he live happily with endless wealth and only lose a little freedom? Barn believed that Smaug would make a wise choice.

But I don’t know…

At this moment, in Hegu Town, Tariel found Bard and explained his intention, but received the bad news that the Black Arrow was lost last night.
