Turka didn't kill the dragon Smaug because he had an idea. A somewhat whimsical idea for the original novel about Middle-earth.
He said: "Now, you have two choices, Smaug the Dragon. First, I cut off your head and let your soul go to the hall of your Creator, if there is one! Second, you surrender to Me! And in the years to come, obey the orders of me and my descendants! Protect the Northern Kingdom! In this way, I will spare your life!"
At that time, Smaug's condition was not very good. The wound on his back caused almost all the blood in his body to flow out. The dragon's body, which was always as hot as a furnace, was cold and stiff, and its huge wings were like rags. It hung softly on the ground, and those vicious and ferocious huge golden vertical pupils also turned gray.
But after hearing Turka's proposal, Smaug still tried his best to summon his last breath and said flatteringly: "Mighty King of the North! Beloved son of the gods, favored by fate! Yes, I am willing to surrender to you, Until the end of the age.”
The cunning dragon even tried to fool Turka at this time, but the silver-white king saw through it at a glance.
Turka said majestically: "It is not the end of the era, but until I or my descendants terminate your service! Don't try to show off your lips, dragon! Submit or die! This is your last chance, decide!" "
He asked the dragon to swear an oath in the name of Valar and Ilúvatar and declare his submission, otherwise he would be judged by him.
Seeing that the little trick was exposed, Smaug was also extremely angry, but now he could no longer resist, because the sacred eyes in the sky were watching him.
Nahal was also watching eagerly.
It was frightened and said angrily: "You can't restrain a free dragon, mortal!"
"I can!"
Turka's majestic golden vertical pupils shone under the starlight, and his voice was loud and oppressive, "I am more noble than you think, dragon, and being with me will not damage your reputation!" I swear in the name of Yi Ru! Dragon! I won’t say it a second time!”
As if to prove his persuasiveness, a vast force poured down from the sky, making Turka Aracano taller and more sacred than the Ormao ruins they had seen before.
"Praise be to Ilúvatar."
Nahal lowered his proud head.
The sacred eyes in the sky also flashed a few times to show awe.
Smaug froze.
It was Eru Ilúvatar, who had come.
“Third Era 2941, Autumn.
The dragon Smaug surrenders to the emperor, and Airpella receives its guardian! "(Note)
——"Dragonborn Emperor Smaug the Dragon"
Go back to a week ago.
After leaving the Mirk Forest and following the dwarves' escape route, Legolas and Tauriel unexpectedly discovered some "travelers" along the lower reaches of the Jungle River to the coast of Esgaroth.
"It's an orc."
The elf's keen sense of smell first smelled the stench in the wind, and then Tauriel and Legolas discovered more than a dozen orc wolf riders in a hidden mountain col.
That familiar symbol made Legolas narrow his eyes: "The wargs of Gundaba! They are Bolger's men."
The two hid downwind to avoid being smelled by the orcs and wargs.
I saw a total of seventeen of these guys, all with scimitars on their waists, wearing iron armor, and their faces were ferocious and ugly. They sat around small fires, baking sour bread and an antelope and a wild boar they had captured.
Filthy fur and blood were everywhere.
Coupled with the gray and brown wargs that were constantly chasing and biting, this small mountain col was filled with frightening violence and death.
"I heard that Lord Turka killed a group of orcs on the other side of the Great Green Forest. I thought they were afraid, but I didn't expect these dirty and evil guys to dare to appear here." Legolas He tightened his grip on the long bow in his hand, and his eyes were filled with light called hatred.
The elf prince's mother died at the hands of the orcs in Gundaba, so if he could attack the orcs, he had always been obliged to do so.
"Wait, Legolas."
Tauriel held onto Legolas and dissuaded them in a low voice: "We don't know their intentions yet, maybe we should calm down. It won't be too late to kill them after we find out their intentions."
"Their target is the dwarves," Legolas said. "It's obvious."
But then he added: "But Tauriel, you are right, maybe we should find out what other conspiracy the beast Bolg has."
So they carefully followed these orcs all the way to Changhu Town.
As a result, these guys saw the dwarves hiding in human towns, and separated some of them and headed north.
After hesitating for a moment, Legolas and Tauriel followed the orcs, crossing river valleys and streams, bypassing the great green forest, and ran in the wild for several days before finally arriving at Mount Gundabad. , also known as Gundaba Mountain).
Here, Legolas and Tauriel discovered a familiar figure.
"The dwarf scum hid in the human town. They were celebrating inside. They foolishly thought that the reptile at the bottom of the mountain would watch them break into its treasure house and steal its treasures."
Those half-orcs who came back to report said to another half-orc commander, Bolger, the son of Azog, after the previous pale orc Azog.
"very good."
Bolger, who was even more cunning, ugly in appearance and wearing iron armor, showed a ferocious smile. "We can sit back and watch those stupid dwarf scum seeking their own death to challenge that terrible reptile! And then watch them be chewed up by Smaug until there is not even a scrap left!"
It taunted loudly in black language: "Do they think they can challenge the dragon without the help of the Silver King and the Wizard? The facts will tell them that except death and fire, they will get nothing in that mountain!"
"But the master's order..." a half-orc wolf-riding spy said in a cringe.
Bolger stared at it fiercely, the war hammer in his hand ready to move.
The subordinate was so frightened that he couldn't help but retreat.
However, Bolger is obviously different from the previous pale orc. He is calmer or timid. Bolger knew that today was different from the past, and it could no longer ignore Sauron's orders, because the Dark Lord had returned with a new form.
The order he gave to the orcs was unmistakable, ensuring that this adventure of the dwarf scum would not succeed!
Pay attention to the movements of forest elves.
If necessary, eliminate the forces of both parties in Gushan.
Therefore, Bolger finally shouted: "Everyone, move forward! Let us help those dwarf scum collect the corpses!"
Under the mountain where it stood, countless half-orcs who were ready to go roared and hissed, excitedly waving their scimitars in their hands, wielding their spears, and carrying crossbows on their backs. They took steps towards the east.
Note: Air, Quenya, means sacred, sacred. pella, Quenya, means: national boundary, country. Airpella, the Holy Kingdom.
