The night is getting darker.
The burning Changhu Town is already a purgatory on earth.
Countless Changhu Town residents were screaming, crying, and wailing.
Everyone is running.
On the only major waterway leading out of town.
At this time, it was crowded with boats and ferries of all kinds, large and small.
Among them, there is a ferry with exquisite shape, exquisite sculptures carved on the bow, and a ferry full of various gold treasures.
Standing in front of the bow is Bugala, the town guard captain holding a long sword. There are several town guard soldiers rowing on both sides of the boat. The exquisite ferry naturally belongs to the mayor of Changhu Town.
The bloated mayor pushed the cumbersome clerk Alfred into the water.
Just desperately urging the ferry to move forward.
But the main waterways were crowded with boats of fleeing Changhu Town residents.
Even if the bloated mayor commanded the town guards to push aside and overturn all the ferries approaching the road blockage, he could not speed up the ferries under him.
The dragon roared in the sky, there was thick smoke everywhere, there were explosions everywhere, and people were dying everywhere.
"Hurry, faster!"
The bloated mayor was extremely anxious and urged desperately, but the waterway ahead was overcrowded.
He had no choice but to urge.
At this moment, other people's screams and panic suddenly came from the surroundings.
The bloated mayor noticed something was wrong and immediately looked around, but found nothing.
Soon, there was a whistling sound from above. He immediately looked up and saw the huge evil dragon blocking his vision coming straight down from above his head.
The bloated mayor just widened his eyes and had no time to react.
Then, everything went dark, and there was nothing more.
"Bang..."
There was a loud boom.
The huge beast, which was thirty or forty meters long, fell straight from the sky and immediately caused waves several meters high.
Fortunately, the main waterway is not very wide, and the corpse of the dragon Smaug did not cause too many waves.
But even so, all the ferries within a radius of thirty to forty meters were instantly capsized by the waves.
It scared everyone around and screamed again and again.
As for being hit by Smaug's huge corpse, the bloated mayor's ferry loaded with gold and treasures was below, as well as the mayor, captain of the town guard Braga and several town guards, as well as the people on several small ferries around it. The residents of Changhu Town were all killed instantly.
But no one cares anymore.
Anyway, too many people died tonight.
The fire in Changhu Town, where the smoke was billowing, became more and more massive.
The fire burned the sky red, even though it was known at this time that the evil dragon was dead.
But there was little joy and excitement on the faces of the fleeing residents of Changhu Town.
Because most of the houses and properties they care about have been burned down.
Family members and friends also died and were injured.
At this time, he was still trapped in the burning Changhu Town.
In such a situation where the family is almost destroyed.
Even in the hearts of these residents, knowing that the death of the evil dragon is something to be happy about.
But no one can be happy.
The death of the evil dragon Smaug caused all the fleeing residents of Lake Town to pay attention.
Except for the three Barn brothers and sisters.
Being blocked in the waterway, Baan and his sister Xuege paddled the boat at a slow speed.
Ever since I just discovered that my father and Uncle Morgan were on the towering bell tower.
The eyes of the three brothers and sisters never left the bell tower.
Just now, the three brothers and sisters watched from a distance after Uncle Morgan and his father Bard shot the evil dragon Smaug with arrows.
Then I saw Smaug crashing into the clock tower quickly like crazy.
The tall bell tower was instantly smashed into pieces by the evil dragon.
Barn, Snow Song and their sister Tilda saw this and almost immediately exclaimed: "Dad!"
"dad!"
"dad!"
"Uncle Morgan!"
Morgan would definitely not be able to hear the calls of the three Barn brothers and sisters at this time.
He had just emerged from the cold water of Long Lake.
"Ahem..."
Morgan surfaced, looked around, and then swam quickly to the nearest shore.
"Phew, it was so dangerous, I almost got hit just now."
Turning ashore, Morgan thought with some fear.
Just after helping Bard shoot the dragon Smaug, Morgan immediately roared and jumped to the bottom of the bell tower.
Bud was also very fast, almost jumping off the bell tower right behind Morgan.
It's just that the two jumped in different directions.
After Morgan jumped off the bell tower, but only a whistle or two, the dragon Smaug lost control and crashed into the bell tower.
Morgan didn't know if Bard was hit by Smaug.
He had really only been narrowly missed anyway, with Smaug whizzing past him.
This made Morgan very scared.
But after the fear, there is excitement and joy.
"After all, Bard can hit Smaug's missing scale wound with a black arrow and kill the dragon."
"I deserve all the credit."
"Now I must have obtained the identity of dragon slayer and dragon slaying warrior. No, I can't say "assume", I should say "take".
"After all, if he hadn't appeared, Bard might have been able to continue killing Smaug as in the memory plot, but it would never have been as smooth as it is now..."
"In the legend, anyone who follows the brave man and participates in slaying the dragon can be named the Dragon Slayer Warrior after successfully slaying the dragon."
"With my contribution this time, I deserve this status."
"There is also the system's soul power. I have contributed a lot this time, so I should be able to get some of it..."
All kinds of confusing thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
Morgan was just thinking about summoning the system to take a look.
Another thought immediately popped up: now that Smaug is dead, the dragon is covered in treasure.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Smaug's dragon scales are as good as steel. If they can be processed into armor, the defensive power can be imagined.
There is also dragon blood. I heard that bathing in dragon blood can enhance physical fitness. I don’t know if this is true.
There is also a dragon whip. If that thing was sold, people would definitely be vying for it.
Even if it is not sold, Morgan can still eat it himself.
Although he felt that his current physique was strong enough, it would be nice to taste it.
There is also dragon meat. When it comes to whether eating dragon meat or bathing in dragon blood can enhance physical fitness, Morgan will definitely think it is the former.
And if you use Smaug's flesh to entertain friends, the effect of showing off will definitely be perfect.
Thinking of this, Morgan's desire to find Smaug's body instantly became extremely strong.
"Where did Smaug's body just fall?"
Morgan looked up immediately.
But there was thick smoke all around and the fire was getting bigger and bigger, making it impossible to see clearly.
Morgan had no choice but to run to the street ahead.
Soon, he stopped a middle-aged man who was running away in a hurry and immediately asked: "Where did the evil dragon fall just now?"
"Over there, over there, I saw that evil dragon fall with my own eyes!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly pointed to the waterway not far away and said quickly. After speaking, he immediately rushed to the street and jumped onto a waiting boat.
Morgan immediately ran towards the location mentioned by the middle-aged man.
It's not far away, but many of the wooden streets were damaged by the fire.
Morgan could only take a detour to the direction pointed by the middle-aged man.
As soon as he got closer, he immediately saw the signs that several intact houses around him had been crushed down.
He even saw that the tip of Smaug's spiked tail seemed to have a small section hanging on a sharp wooden stake in the ruined house, and it had not completely sunk.
"This is it."
Morgan was so happy that he quickly came to the tip of the hung tail and plunged into the cold water of the long lake.
...
Lonely mountain.
A high platform with a wide view.
Except for Morgan, all members of the expedition team are here at this time.
"Mr. Baggins may never mention that name again."
"Those who have been expelled are no longer qualified to be a member of our team."
Seeing Bilbo mention Morgan, Thorin Oakenshield's expression changed and he immediately said coldly.
"Morgan was evicted?"
"Morgan was expelled by Thorin?"
Bilbo was stunned when he heard the words from Thorin Oakenshield.
The first reaction was disbelief.
But all the dwarves, including Balin, were silent, which proved that what Thorin Oakenshield said was no joke.
Then, there is doubt and confusion.
With Morgan's strength and his contribution to the team along the way.
Bilbo really couldn't understand what Morgan had done that Thorin Oakenshield actually wanted to expel him.
You must know that Morgan has saved Thorin himself more than once at the most dangerous moment along the way.
This was witnessed by all members of the expedition team.
And Morgan had saved himself several times.
Based on Morgan's relationship with himself.
Bilbo felt that he must figure this out.
Bilbo is kind-hearted by nature, but he is also straight-tempered. It is not his style to hide problems, not to mention that this matter concerns Morgan so seriously.
"Wait a minute, what did Thorin mean by disobeying orders?"
"Also, who is being expelled?"
"Morgan?"
"What the hell is going on?"
Bilbo looked at the people around him and continued to ask: "Can anyone help me understand this?"
After the words fell, all the dwarves present fell silent.
Thorin Oakenshield just finished speaking coldly, then turned around and went to another open high platform on the side.
At this time, I don’t know if I heard Bilbo’s series of questions.
All the dwarves were silent.
This situation made Bilbo feel a little uneasy, and he suddenly thought that something might have happened to Morgan.
When Bilbo was about to continue asking, Balin the Whitebeard suddenly turned his head, looked at Bilbo and sighed, and said: "Let me tell you..."
Next, Balin briefly talked about the conflict between Morgan and Thorin Oakenshield.
But Balin omitted the words he himself had mercilessly scolded Thorin at the beginning.
But there was a conflict between Morgan and Thorin: Morgan was worried about going to find Bilbo; while Thorin Oakenshield was worried that Morgan would affect Bilbo and refused to let Morgan go down.
For these specific reasons, Bahrain did not take sides and stated them all in detail.
Bilbo was silent after hearing this.
He really didn't expect that Morgan was expelled because he was worried about him and wanted to find him.
What he didn't expect was that when he was chasing the dragon Smaug for his life while searching for the Arkenstone, Thorin Oakenshield not only didn't think about worrying about him, he didn't even let Morgan worry.
At this moment, Bilbo thought of what the dragon Smaug said to him in the treasure house.
Those words about Thorin Oakenshield being greedy, hypocritical, having his mind corrupted by the golden treasure, and being infected with disease.
Also, Bilbo thought about the moment when he met Thorin Oakenshield in the underground treasure house, and the other party held a long sword and asked him about Arkenstone.
Thinking of this, Bilbo couldn't help but clutch the Arkenstone in his arms through his clothes: "I will never give the Arkenstone to Thorin like this."
"etc..."
"Bahrain said Morgan came down earlier to look for him."
"But I didn't see Morgan."
"Where's Morgan?"
This question that is so scary to think about suddenly comes to mind.
Bilbo was shocked.
He looked up at the dwarves around him, none of them seemed aware of this problem.
Bilbo was silent.
He quickly thought that there was the evil dragon Smaug under the treasure house just now, and a terrifying thought immediately arose in his mind.
But Bilbo quickly shook his head and denied it.
Morgan was powerful, and Smaug had been chasing him and the dwarves in the treasure house.
Morgan must be fine.
Bilbo felt uneasy, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
at this time.
"boom..."
A huge sound suddenly resounded in the ears of everyone on the open platform.
"what happened?"
"What was that sound just now?"
"It seems to be coming from Changhu Town..."
"I saw it fall, Smaug, I saw Smaug fall!"
"Really?"
"Of course, Smaug is gone, isn't he."
"Is it dead?"
"possible..."
"Smaug is dead, Smaug must be dead!"
"I swear on the beard!"
"Look over there..."
"Hey, all the ravens of Ruibo have flown back..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of black birds suddenly flew over the Lonely Mountain, and even their eyes were completely black, accompanied by a loud and squawking sound.
...
Long lake surface.
On a spacious ferry heading to Lonely Mountain.
The elf prince Legolas and the elf captain Tauriel were looking at the burning Long Lake Town in the distance with heavy expressions.
Suddenly, the huge evil dragon looking at the sky in the distance suddenly fell down.
Tariel's expression changed slightly: "Smaug is dead?"
Legolas nodded: "It should be, although I don't know who did it yet."
"But news of Smaug's death should spread throughout Middle-earth quickly."
"With the huge treasures Gushan possesses, it also has its own important position."
"Next, I'm afraid there will be many eyes paying attention to Gushan..."
"Tauriel, are you still determined to go to the Lonely Mountain?"
"certainly..."
...
Deep in the Mirk Forest.
At the top of the Woodland Kingdom, on an open platform high above the mountain peaks.
The elf king Thranduil, who was wearing a silver robe, had long white-blond hair, was tall, and had a handsome and luxurious face, looked into the distance.
The burning Changhu Town.
After a long moment, he looked back.
Thranduil murmured in his heart: "I have finally waited for this day."
Thinking of this, the Elf King turned around and looked at the leader of the Wood Elf guard beside him and ordered in a cold voice: "Notify, all teams will gather early tomorrow morning."
"We're going to take back what's rightfully ours."
"Also, load a few carts of food commonly used by humans..."
